The question is can god make a rock he is unable to make, and the relevance is that either answer nullifies god's omnipotence. So, no, he does not remain all powerful.
AND it isn't about the Christian god or Muslim god or Jewish god. It cuts to the core as to why any "omni " god claim is a broken concept as a claim. It causes a contradiction in logic.
Can he make a borretto so hot he cant eat it.
If he can, he is not all powerful because he cant eat it.
If he cant, then he is also not all powerful.
The excuse to dodge this is standard though.
"I can do what I want"
"You wouldn't understand"
"I work in mysterious ways"
"I don't have to explain myself to you".
None of those explain the contradiction caused by the claim all powerful.
"All" means everything is included. So as soon as a person start's putting perameters on that word, they have set limits on that claim. "All" does not define something with limits in regards to a god claim.
Thus it makes an all powerful god claim a broken concept as a claim.
