If God is omnipotent, can He create a weight too heavy for Him to lift?

It’s nonsense. He doesn’t do nonsense.

Plato had a dim idea of the Forms, even though He didn’t know that they are formed by a Former, an Almighty.

God pronounces, some say He sings something, completely new.

He pronounces with performance speech.

He says it, it becomes reality.

You and I have opinions. How nice.

God’s “opinion” is Reality.

What a concept.

1 = 1
= 1 * 1
= 1 ^ 2
= sqrt( (1) ^ 2)
= sqrt(1) * sqrt(1)
= sqrt( (-1) ^ 2)
= sqrt( (-1)) * sqrt((-1))
= i * i
= i ^ 2
= -1

So 1 = -1

We can not know the nature of God. Is he infinite? Does the term have any significance when discussing that which creates infinity?

"If God is omnipotent, can He create a weight too heavy for Him to lift?...

... ha, ha, ha. The contradiction is in the limitations of our language, not metaphysics. Our language allows us posit or define things which logically cannot exist. For instance, what would happen if an unstoppable force met an immovable object. Well, if there was an unstoppable force, there could not be an immovable object, although our language can include both in a sentence. Likewise, here, if there were an object too heavy for God to lift, he would not be omnipotent, and vice versa.
