all powerful

Could God make a fiber so strong that he himself could not break it?

 

It's called the unstoppable oat.

 

I think you will find that this is a many millennia-old question without an answer.

 

Your will, Identical to his.

 

how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

 

Can he make a stone so big he can't lift it?

 

Can God make a burrito so big that not even he can finish eating?

 

It's not really a conundrum because being omnipotent doesn't imply the ability to do the impossible. It just means having all the power that actually exists.

 

Can God have more power than actually exists?

 

What does not exist has no existence. What is not real does not exist.

 

If we can think of things that are unreal, does that make our thoughts unreal or does just thinking of something make it real or are the thoughts real but the things thought of unreal but then how can we think of something unreal in the first place if it doesn't exist?

 

... Well, now I'm confused!

 

Thoughts are not solid things but potentialities. Thoughts must be cultivated to become actualities. We can't think of things that are unreal. Mental imagery is real, it is a process of the mind. The energy that is used to create the image is real.

A movie is a real image. However, with out the mind to interpret the image the only objective tale you get from it is chemical arrangement. The manipulation of mental imagery creates the illusion of reality but this illusion does not effect the size and weight of a rock. A belief in a flat world does not indeed cause the world to go flat. However, belief in the unreal makes the real difficult to see.

It is important then to learn to distinguish between knowledge and belief, between what can be seen and what can be inspected. It is important to learn that we cannot apply truth to a lie and make the lie true but we can dispel a lie with the truth.

 

Thoughts aren't solid? imagine that.

Thought in of themselves are actualities

Yes we can, most people do it all the time. I know I do.

Finally something real

Yep.

A chemical arrangement is an objective tale? What kind of movies have you been watching lately?

Size and weight of a rock? You crack me up. :smilielol5:

That's true.

Not really but it does help not to confuse the two.

You do know that knowledge and belief and what can be seen and what can be inspected are not the same thing, don't you?

I think most people consider that a given and do not need to learn it.

Well, you do go on but please at least try to answer the the question put to you next time.

 

Could we try an experiment? Would you post in your own hand the following sentence:

The rain in Spain falls gently on the the plain, but much harder in the hills.

 

I'm not sure what you mean by "post in your own hand" but here goes.

The rain in Spain falls gently on the the plain, but much harder in the hills.

 

What I was asking is that you actually type the words with your own hand, did you do this? I'm trying to devise an experiment to test the hypothesis we have both offered in this discussion.

 

I copied and pasted with my own hand does it make a difference?

 

It does.

 

Okay, here goes.

The rain in Spain falls gently on the the plain, but much harder in the hills.

There you go typed letter by letter with my own two little hands and by the way the did you notice that you typed "the" twice before plain?
