"Narrow is the gate.." yadda.. yadda..

There's more to it than just the fact that God created us, and this place with a purpose. I'm not even doubting that. However, wouldn't you believe that God is intelligent enough to understand individual lives and how we all see it? That's exactly what happened. It's the whole idea of free will, and you suffer for your "sins" here. Not in some eternal separation, or Hell. I have no real proof or evidence of this, except what has happened in my life, and in others.

It's even scientifically proven that all life moves in a vibration, and that all life is interconnected, and with this interconnectedness comes an unseen field of energy that was spun into form by the creator. The "creator" (God) is the only thing missing in the whole scientific formula. Which creates doubt for the realists who won't stop at a book because some *PERSON* said it was the "Word Of God.* That's why many, who don't believe, will seek answers through seeing, or real proof. If God didn't feel there was a use for study and re-search, then there wouldn't be any. Many atheists haven't even bothered to study the interconnectedness.

My questions weren't that insane.

Question: Could God build a wall so high, that he himself couldn't climb it? And if God could do either or, then in someway his power would be limited. Because if he couldn't build a wall higher than what he could climb, then he'd be limited in that area, and vise versa.

If I had to answer this, and I still think it's a good question, I'd say: This question is a paradox, like, a catch twenty two. Two forces opposing one another. However, for a being like God, both forces would have an unlimited supply of possibilities. So, God could probably create two realities where, in one reality, he's making it over the wall, and in another reality his wall is never ending, and then, somehow, God is bringing those two realities together where he's doing everything at once.

To me, it's to try to give the creator (God) enough credit to be able to do anything. Logically, if you're all powerful, you can do anything. The question gets easier once a person can view it this way.

Saying, "God doesn't climb walls," wasn't satisfactory, because I felt like you weren't thinking about it in terms of GOD and infinite possibilities, and how powerful God really is. You were trying to think of Bible versus, and stuff. If God wants us to understand him with our brains, then we've got to think about him, give him credit, and put somethings that may seem impossible into our simple minds of logic.
