God(at least in Abrahamic faiths) is believed to be omnipotent, thus God can do anything.

This is the belief

And the flame war begins. But for the sake of example, what kind of Paradox?

I'm an atheist and i come here to answer respectfully. I hope no one comes here to say something offensive to religious people.

As the first post says, "god" is said to be omnipotent, so in the case he exists, he can do everything.

So you must know God personally. :|



Every heard of miracles? :|
You don't even need to know God personally, to say that God percieves things the same way we do is a fallacy. It's just basic psychology and arguably physics that the way human beings percieve things is not the same way other creatures percieve things not to talk of a God.

Also, the conception of miracles is just the human explanation of favorable events that happen that can not be explained by current human means. In fact many things that are called miracles 1,000+ years ago is now explained through science. God doesn't perform "Miracles" the very Concept of him is knowing all there is to come means it's not random it happened for a reason. There is no luck

No, because omnipotency is a paradox in itself. Can a god do something that it cannot undo? Either way, it's not omnipotent.

So at most, all it could do is fiddle around with someone's brain until they believed that "This Statement Is False".
Does that make Wheatly a god?

A paradox is only a paradox by human perception not by higher tier perceptoon therefore yes he can


How can a higher perception beat the paradox then? If i say "this statement is false", then it's either true in which case it's false, or false in which case it's true. You can't just look at it from further away and that "Yes, that is false" or "No, that is True". If you come up with any other answer, you aren't solving the paradox, you're just skirting around the problem.

you don't have to talk about animals, we don't even know how other humans percieve things haha
and we don't even know how WE percieve things, we don't know shit about ourselves that's why we go to psychologists to try to get their point of view but we know nothing for sure hhhh

Again, you must know him personally. Just as my argument is illogical so is yours. How can you say God doesn't perceive the same way humans do when God himself "knows everything"?

This realm in which we live is not reality.

God doesn't need to communicate.

Then the question of whether God can or can't dis/prove a Paradox would never be answered.

Depend what you call God some people consider the Universe God some scientist believe that the universe is a living entity/organism, A paradox is that which makes no sense to the mind it's a reflection of the limitation of the mind not reality we may not even be in a real reality.

Check out this video.

Most "paradox" tend to be self imposed by limitatipns that people restrict them too. Such as you saying "this statement is false" one could just say the statement is invalid therefore, it is invalid that the statement is false making the statement having to pick between true or false (learned this the hard way on 301 psych). Many things man consider paradox's are actually not plausible nor possible as a paradox is just a contradiction with limitations, often times than not the paradox is treated as something that exosts when it doesn't as paradox's are not physical but pure imagination restricted by limitation. A negative times a negative us not a paradox it is simply a positive, I'm slightly amused how ofyen the terminology "paradox" is so free lanced in modern tongue. Can God undo a paradox? Sure, nothing mankind says or do is a literal construct of universal law what we say is paradox is just how we built our language to be in terms of syntax. There are more solutions but that's digressing unless it is brought up. In short, what mankind considers grammatical paradox are just self-imposed laws we have subjected something to. A tree is only called a tree because society accepts it as such, that doesn't mean the tree in question was always named "tree". But then again there are two cobceptiobs of God. I assume we are talking of God in immenence. Transendence on the other hand isn't up for debate
