Let's start with Ship of Theseus

Any takers?

.
This one is old:

If God can do anything, can He make a rock so heavy that He cannot lift it?

If God can do anything...well, can God do something that is contrary to His nature, like can God be evil or go against his omnipotence by creating something bigger than himself. I don't think so.

Another way of looking at that one is that a rock only exists within the created order and God does not. So we are asking God to do something contrary to the way creating works. God is already outside of creation as well as within it. But he is "greater/bigger/more vast than creation. So no again.

Then again, Jesus was God and there were plenty of rocks that he couldn't pick up...so yes

I agree Jacques.
The only flawed factor is our perception.

In a way it�s a bit like our human insistence on seeing God in our own terms - be that as a clockworker, a once-off creator who formed everything in the course of 6x24 hours (as we think we know them) some 6000+ or whatever years ago (because to God a day is a thousand years and a thousand years is a day. Eureka! a formula!), a rewarding/punishing father-in-the-sky, or a divine but distant chairman of the board.

Re. the Ship of Theseus puzzle.

It seems to me the true ship is more an "idea" than an arrangement of wood. The wood enables it to float on water, of course, so if the original ship retained the same shape and was gradually replaced by new wood, it would be Theseus' ship, albeit repaired. If the form would be drastically altered, then it wouldn't. Likewise, making a ship out of the old, restored lumber would also be Theseus' ship if it was rebuilt according to the same pattern as the original ship; it would then be Thesus' ship even moreso than the refurbished model, and you could have two ships of Theseus. If the original lumber was used to make a ship with a different pattern, then that wouldn't be Theseus' ship.

Make sense?

I think there are implications, here, for how we might understand the risen body?

And now a new one:

"All truth claims are suspect."

Can this be a credible statement?

(Hint: it's the "Achilles heel" of postmodernism.)

It is only as credible as any other truth statement and therefore indicates that it is one of the least credible since other truth statements may be less suspect than itself.

Yes, very good!

It seems that if that statement really is true, then the expression of it must also be suspect.
