Can God create a stone so heavy that he cannot lift it up?

This challenging argument has both a physical and a logical problem because people do not understand God’s nature.
The very question of whether God “can or cannot lift a stone” is meaningless in this universe. There are uncountably many enormously large objects (stones) — the Earth, the Moon, and countless others — and there is no need to lift them up, nor does it even make sense to define what “lifting it up” would mean, no matter how massive they are.
That is how awesome God’s creation is in our universe! God is spirit. That means His “physical” body is Spirit, not formed by material atoms. “Spirit” is a completely different “raw material” from atoms.
That is why He (as spirit) is not limited by the physical laws of this world, such as the speed of light, the laws of parabolic motion, the law of universal gravitation, and so on.
“24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” – John 4:24
4 As I looked, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, and a great cloud, with brightness around it, and fire flashing forth continually, and in the midst of the fire, as it were gleaming metal.
5 And from the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had a human likeness…” – Ezekiel 1:4,5
“12 And each went straight forward. Wherever the spirit would go, they went, without turning as they went.” – Ezekiel 1:12
“17 When they went, they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went.” – Ezekiel 1:17
Therefore, spirits are not limited by atomic physical laws. They can move in any directions,suddenly change course, and even reverse direction without turning.”
