Of course. What a silly question. God is omnipotent.

No, because the conditions of the thought experiment are nonsensical due to conflicting premises.
God also cannot create married singletons, square circles or make 1=0. They are a contradiction in terms. You can say them, but they don't mean anything. These parameters were created by God - he made squares, circles, 1 and 0.
Dry something using water. Lift something down. These are inconceivable contradictions.

It isn't. God is omnipotent. It means he can do anything.

It is absurd to suppose that any being, no matter how powerful, could draw a round square.

This is untrue. For example, God can not lie. It is impossible for Him.

I see, so you're claiming that the Bible is incorrect. I'm glad you've allowed me to realize that you're full of shit. That will be all.

Au contraire. The Bible is the infallible Word of God.
Bless you for the chance to educate you, friend.

And so when the Bible says in black and white that it is impossible for God to lie, how do you feel about that?

Sure, I will quote directly from my copy of NLT:
> So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.

I see. Then your ignorance of the scripture you have 'quoted' has an explanation.
Let me know if you are interested in learning Biblical Greek and I will act as your mentor. In the meantime, have a blessed day my child.
