Can the omnipotent God create a stone which he(she?) him(her?)self Cannot carry?

Erm... *disclaimer* I do NOT WANT TO OFFEND ANYONE! I just want to say that before you read my comment and get offended- this is not a religious viewpoint and not intended seriously in any way and I am a good person, really I am, I promise.

OK then.

You said, "Althought I believe that God is omnipotent, I also believe that there are certain things that He cannot do."
From www.dictionary.com (since I'm at a friend's house and therefore do not have my unabridged Webster's which normally lives on my desk):
om·nip·o·tent (adj.) Having unlimited or universal power, authority, or force; all-powerful.

Wouldn't this mean that there's nothing God cannot do?

You say "God is incapable of contradicting His own words" -- Apparently, you are not.

Again, this was meant entirely in a spirit of jovial mischievousness, since this is a site of logic and such and I'm just dumb like this. Also a horrible person.
Peace
