Are the Laws of Nature Immutable? Or does God get a Pass?

So no, God cannot create a rock so big that He cannot move it.

Then he is not omnipotent. The term omnipotent is rife with conundrum.

If god does not sin, why does he repent?

Exo 32:14
And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.

The term omnipotent means
1. almighty or infinite in power, as God.
2. having very great or unlimited authority or power.

An almighty being cannot create a rock so big that He cannot move it; however, God did become Jesus and did not know when the end of the world would happen while a man... So He can limit his power at will. Jesus did need help to carry His cross. So. I believe you are not thinking and too ready to pounce. There is nothing too big for God.

Repent can mean REGRET. To regret is not a sin.

You seem to be contradicting yourself.

Repentance @Wikipedia:
Though it includes sorrow and regret, it is more than that.
.

.
.
It is a change of mind that involves a conscious turning away from wrong actions, attitudes and thoughts that conflict with a Godly lifestyle and biblical commands.

How does a perfect, all knowing, all powerful being, have a change of plans, and regret his earlier course? http://Bible.cc/exodus/32-14.htm

Conundrums......

God didn't change His course. He allows the Bible to express in human terms "God" in ways that man might comprehend. The Bible is all about the history of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible is demonstrating His Salvation He Perfectly provides through the Perfect Lord Jesus.

Little Nipper,

SteelHead asks a perfectly logical question, to which you cannot provide a rational answer, so you revert to unfounded dogmatic religionist pronouncements (mumbo jumbo).

I understand that it is really difficult to defend a belief system that is the result of a series of tall tales told and refined over a couple of thousand years. But you are going to have to do better than this.

Then he is not omnipotent. The term omnipotent is rife with conundrum.

as if your "rock so heavy" example had not already exposed the inadequacy of your post, you drive it home here.
paradox is a more appropriate term than conundrum.

However, your question is illogical and yet you expect a logical answer.
Truthfully, one could answer "yes" or "no" and it would be a sufficient response.
Either way it reinforces that your post is without a fundamental understanding of God's character or the word omnipotent.
Theologically, the word omnipotence has never meant that God could do anything at all...but anything that is possible.
Your question about the 'heavy rock' is as much nonsense as asking if God could make 2+2=9.

Now, if we are to consider that logic is not a part of God's character, then obviously anything is possible and you have no argument against anything He may or may not be, has done, or can do.

[_SteelHead]

Yes it is the paradox of omnipotence. Now rather than point out the paradox, address it. Then you will have something.
