“Carving in a stone would not be too hard for God.”

Yes, but could God carve a stone so big that even He couldn’t move it?......;]

[Kidding! I’m kidding!]

Well.....it would depend on just how much stoneness God put into the stone, and what of that stoneness was God Himself rather than the stoneness of the stone.....and if the stone were really THAT big, then there would be nothing else but the stone (and God, of course) at which point the movement of the stone would be moot there being no point of reference for its movement to be judged against, except, of course, from God's perspective, at which point we would have to ask ourselves "Why would God want to move a stone that was all that there was anyway, and where would He move it to, there being nothing but the stone everywhere, making the act of moving it impossible, since , being that big, it was already everywhere."






.....so I guess the answer is "No."


Or, you could ask Thomas Aquinas, when he takes a break from counting the angels on pinheads.
