>"Every rule has an exception".

If we assume that to be true, and to be a rule, we must conclude that it, as well, has an exception.

But if every rule has an exception, and this is true, there can be no rule without exception; therefore, it is a rule with no exceptions. Which makes it, coincidentally, the exception of its own rule.

But if it is true that this rule has no exceptions, it betrays itself in that it affirms that every rule has one.

However, it is also truthful in that having no exceptions, it is its own exception.

Therefore this rule has an exception, by not having an exception.

It contains two self-contradicting premises, which are nonetheless both true and complement each other. It nullifies itself while reinforcing itself.

>"Could God make a rock so big he couldn't lift it?"

The answer is yes, he could, for he is omnipotent; and at the same time, no, he could not, for he could always lift the rock; he is omnipotent.

Both statements are self-conflicting, but at the same time, truthful. God could both make and make not the rock; as the rule both has and has not exceptions.

Such is the true meaning of omnipotence, and why the human mind cannot grasp the true form of the Divine. Only in the Pleroma, the infinite realm, can such a reality make itself understandable to our minds.

This exercise in logic is but one of the methods through which we achieve understanding of the Divine Nature. Realistically speaking, there are actually various rules with no exceptions in this reality, as is the understanding of the many sciences through which we analyze it; but in reflecting on these self-completing impossibilities, one may acquire a brief glimpse of what lies beyond the many rules which constrain the material plane; the True Logos, which is both limitless, and its own limit.

You have but glimpsed it. Strive to see it.

One definition of omnipotence is ultimate power. Another is being without limitations. Both have the same meaning, however I will use the second definition, as it makes the flaw in your argument clearer.

>"Could God make a rock so big he couldn't lift it?

If true

Limitation

If false

Limitation

Returning either boolean value as a response results in God having a limitation, meaning therefore he cannot be omnipotent. Furthermore, omnipotence itself cannot exist; it creates infinite logical paradoxes (can God create a color which he cannot see, can God create a food which he cannot eat, can God create a concept he cannot understand, etc.)

Your explanation of "it's divine, we don't understand it," is self-limiting. Were you to think about it slightly more, you would understand it, and you would see the massive flaw in it.

Not to mention that there are a plethora of other issues with God, which I'd be happy to debate with you.

1) I answered that (>every rule have a exception >therefore: there are some rules without exceptions) in a logic test, my teacher say that that was wrong, I didn't want to talk about self-conflicting statements in front of some really bored students

1)cool get

1)nice point

1) #100 have a /1/

1) checkm8
