Thank Thee, God, for all that is good. And thank you, man, for all that isn't.

Q: Can God create a boulder so large that He cannot lift it? This question
is as old as time, and just as stupid. Its intent is obviously to
discredit God's omnipotence, but it only indicates the ignorance of
the questioner.
A: God's power is limitless--He CAN do literally anything: that is His nature.
There is no "boulder" that He cannot lift--His abilities are without
bounds. But His abilities and His actions are very different things.
Consider the great flood of Noah's time. After the waters fell, and
Noah's family came out of the ark, God promised never again to flood
the world. God limited Himself by giving His Word: He cannot lie.
It's not a question of "Can He?" but "Will/May He?"

jtidwell (Jenifer P. Tidwell):
Banning nuclear weapons, prohibiting the use of poison gases, or
outlawing germ warfare will not remove the root causes of war.
However important such practical measures obviously are as elements of
the peace process, they are in themselves too superficial to exert
enduring influence. Peoples are ingenious enough to invent yet other
forms of warfare, and to use food, raw materials, finance, industrial
power, ideology, and terrorism to subvert one another in an endless
quest for supremacy and dominion. Nor can the present massive
dislocation in the affairs of humanity be resolved through the
settlement of specific conflicts or disagreements among nations. A
genuine universal framework must be adopted.

I plan to sun it up in the Southern US, hoping to avoid all responsibilities
until my return at the end of the month... Sometimes I just LOVE IAP...
Have fun in the cold -- Anyone for a ski trip when I get back?
