Welcome to the second installment of "Stumper Questions for Christians that are Actually Easy to Answer". Today we have that classic question:
Could God make a taco so hot even he couldn't eat it?¹
This question is surprisingly simple when you think about it: YES of course he could. Jesus was truly God but with all the physical weaknesses of a human, so if he had a taco² he could have made it so hot he could not have eaten it.
The other way of answering it is that the only limitation on God are those He chooses to place on himself, for instance God promised after the Great Flood that he would never again flood the whole Earth, and so now we can safely say that He can't flood the whole planet, even though that is within his power to turn the whole planet into H2O if he so desired. In the same way God could decide not to be able to lift even the smallest pebble.
1. Or in the traditional form: Could God make a rock so heavy even he couldn't lift it?
2. and a microwave, and power, and a manual for the microwave, in Greek, so maybe not. ;-)
