RE: The rock God can't lift.

On a tuesday when the moon is full standing on a bulls horn filled with quartz crystals, how about then, are we looking at permanent magic or just temporary magic?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Not really.
God could make Himself at One WITH the rock. Irresistible force meets immovable object.
A rock THAT big could be the size of the universe/multiverse. Then what?
Which direction is ''up'' when there is no up, down, left, right, forwards, backwards....etc. to move the rock.

Do you mean temporarily or permanently?

God can do anything, but you know, not really....................

Well, the only reason I ask is because the metaphysical consequences of God doing that might mean that you also cease to exist and therefore you wouldnt be there to notice the nothingness in His and your absence.

Oh, those are the metaphysical consequences huh? So, a bit like Bill Gates, the most bro-worthy thing god can do for us would be to avoid doing stuff - in case we might metaphysically cease to exist as an unintended side effect. Here's to hoping he can continue his long tradition of not doing stuff then.

Nonexistence is one of my turn-ons so that's not a problem.
Here's some of my nonexistence fetish art (NSFW)

Look we already covered this. He can cast "Bull's Strength" on himself and lift the rock that requires a Strength of Infinite +2 to lift. We have video footage and everything.
