Yes. The power to do literally anything would allow one to do this.

I interpreted this as “having the basic ability to take as actions would allow you to do this”, which is also true, I can ferment wine and then gradually make it more concentrated

Can he create a stone that is not liftable and then proceed to lift it?
Hexarei@programming.dev 1 day ago
The easiest answer to this is yes, he could create a stone he couldn’t lift. And then he could lift it anyway.

Actually the easiest answer is “no” because it doesn’t require cognitive dissonance.

There’s no cognitive dissonance in negating a false negative

Unironically the question by witch many faith differs: does God needs abide to the rules of logic or not?
For the Roman Catholic, yes, for Calvinists and a bunch other (ok, many other but I’m not an expert), no.

Ah theologians. When we invented agriculture so that not everyone had to work on gathering food, this enabled some of us to specialize in advanced skills. But theology, wow. What a waste of time. Get those dudes out in the fields.

There’s a reason the French beheaded the clergy alongside the nobility.

No, not really, it’s mostly a matter of power.
The Church itself is rooted in the idea that there are autorities on matter of faith and they adopted the Platinical Agostinean idea that faith is empowered by reason. Reason being a valid tool means you have experts that reasoned a lot about religion and people that know less and needs to be taught, ultimately by the Pope.
The “other” side tends to reject authorities, and take the words of the bible as sobjected to personal interpretation or, to an extent, make it into some sort of magical object that the faithfull subjects itself to, without questions. Accepting the contradictions, the illogal parts, are what that kind of faith is about because to question (throught reasoning) God is a Sin.

Calvanists the ones that say since god is all powerful there can be no free will/everything is decided don’t apply logic?
