============
I think point was clear. Are you trying to gain some knowledge by asking some question whose answer you cant understand or just want to argue and play with words?
============
If you are asking me, I'm not playing with nothing. I just want to have a better insight of God conception in Islam point of view. I'm not muslim
========
Already said that God wont do any Un-Godly things.
========
I agree, making a sin is a example. But that is not a limitation, is just something that He abominates, or avoid looking into
======
Now if you keep on asking this question, but what about stone...
Even if someone gives answer to your question with your satisfaction your next question will be:
etc...etc..
...
==========
You right, my mistake, I should have had answered to this questions first in a Christian point of view, and only then you would answer.
1) Paradox of omnipotence
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, And then the MAN, by is Word
God is Perfect, He made the LAW, the law that even He can't deny, or abrogate, or change
The LAW was taught to all prophets
But no MAN was able to be perfect, following the LAW of GOD
Romans 3, 10-12
10
as it is written: "There is no one just, not one,
11
there is no one who understands, there is no one who seeks God.
12
All have gone astray; all alike are worthless; there is not one who does good, (there is not) even one.
The LAW was a big STONE to lift, either to Humans, or to GOD HimSelf because it couldn't change, or abrogate it, was above His will and nature
But, because He is omnipotent, and because Nothing his impossible to Him
And Because the Word of God is living. The Word of God is spoken. The Word of God is personal.
The Word of God is Jesus Christ.
He took ALL THE LAW uppon His Shoulders
Was terribly heavy, cross shaped, He fall 1 time....2 times....3 times
at the end He perished with the Heavy of ALL THE LAW
died for 3 days
In the third day He resurrected, HE Won the World, The Law, He made us FREE
(2 Corinthians 3,17)
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty.
God can, on this understanding of omnipotence, make contradictions true.
That the LAW of the LORD also costed Him also a Big Price in order to Save Us
John, 6-56
"For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed."
Not symbols, but true Flesh and True Blood by transubstantiation
This is the Catholic point of view, of course, but one of the reasons Roman Catholic Church always preached that
2) Can God Create another God ?
He also can
John 1-1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The Word of God is living. The Word of God is spoken. The Word of God is personal. The Word of God is Jesus Christ.
And, don't forget that Catholic Church says that THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD.....TRIUNE
There is a lot of verses that says that the FATHER and SON are ONE...and the Conforter comes from the Father and The Son
In the Bible of course
3) Can be a Pig or a Mosquito ?
Well if you think that the CREATION can take care by itself, as a PERPETUAL MOVING WHEEL....then there is no need of God
But if you think that God sustains the universe, then the whole universe must be a image from Him....because whatever is goodness comes from Him, He sustains everything
That is, God is the LIFE ESSENCE, so a single mosquito has His spirit
By Catholic point of view, who sustains everything is the Holy Spirit, so ...
The Father is the Prime mover and planner. The Son is the prime activator. The Holy Spirit is the prime messenger or sustainer
And there is a Image of GOD everywhere even in a single EGG
As a philosopher said :
On God the First Cause of Everything, or :
"Everybody knows that the earth is on the back of a giant turtle," says
the challenger.
"And what does the turtle stand on?" asks the philosopher.
"Another turtle," comes the reply.
"Ah, but what does *that* turtle stand on?" counters the philosopher.
"You're clever, but it's no use, " says the challenger, "It's turtles
all the way down!".
I don't remember the author of this, do you know ?
4) can He be 100% JUST(ICE) and 100% MERCIFUL ?
Yes, He Can
Because imagine a BAD man, that all his life made bad things to eveyone, that cause a lot of evil to many people
But when he reached his hour, He Said : "God forgive me - I was a foul"
God forgives Him, because He is 100% merciful
But because He is also 100% just, that man must pay all the sins after dead
In purgatory
===========
Well this is just a resume of God's Power and How nothing is Impossible to Him, Nothing at All
Everything I said is Catholic point of view
Because I'm in a Islam Forum, I already know what should be your answers
But I have no problems with paradoxes, or anything else
God Bless You All
