Can God create another God?
self | 2/28/09 | self

Posted on 02/28/2009 5:28:01 AM PST by fproy2222

I have been told, here at FR, that God only creates lesser beings.

Is this because he chooses not to create someone equal to Himself, or is God unable to create someone equal to Himself?

What happened before time?

Could God create a boulder so heavy that He couldn't lift it?

That question has all the intellectual depth of a dog chasing its tail.

Best answer I've seen so far.

(I'm still reading the replies)

He probably smiles at us trying to figure Him out. Don’t worry about trying to get your mind around how vast he is.

One of my favorite cartoons was a weather forcaster giving his weather predictions and God was depicted above him, roaring with laughter.

But how many angels can dance on Biden's head?

I'm still trying to figure out something else. I just called my sister and she informed me that she has 4 brothers & 2 sisters. Count as I might, I have only 3 brothers but also 3 sisters!

I told her that the temperature here was 0 degrees Farenheit, she told me that it was twice that cold where she is, since twice zero is still zero, how can that be?

Drive by posting again?

To me, learning to fear the Lord is foundational to understanding.

Only the foolish and arrogant believe they are like or will become god.

God is God - he can do whatever he wants. Let go of your ego - your mind is too small to wrap around God’s power.

By separating God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit and considering them three separate deities

That isn't the Christian view, and if that is what your church teaches, it is not Christian.

Actually that is more akin to LDS ideas. Trinitarian belief still holds only one God, not a committee. The three “persons” are essences of that one single all powerful being. The exact nature of this is part of the greater mysteries of the Father.

Can God create another God?

... and can that other God lift the rock that God made so heavy that he couldn't lift it himself?

Why is God always referred to as “He?” Does God have a gender? Is there a Mrs. God?

Why would you ask us lesser beings?

Go to the source.

When I see HIM; I'll ask Him.

(Personally - I don't see what the point would be to do so.)

HE's alREADY OMNIpotent!

And just WHY would a professed atheist be drawn to a thread like THIS?

(It probably doesn’t even exist. ;^)
