If Jesus can turn water into wine, but wine is still mostly made of water, can Jesus apply his powers recursively and create more and more concentrated wine? (lemmy.ml)

Can he create a stone that is not liftable and then proceed to lift it?

[–] Hexarei 11 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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

What false negative? If he can lift it then he didn't create a stone he can't lift. Can he make one plus one equal anything other than two?
