Musings about omnipotence and perfection.

I also believe that God cannot do the logically impossible things.

There's a paradox which goes like this: "Can God make a stone so heavy that He can't lift it Himself?" The answer is no, because that's not logically possible. The question paradoxically makes the idea of God's omnipotence turn back on itself just to make it contradict itself. So, that's why this is an example of something which is not logically possible (assuming that God exists and that He is omnipotent).
