Somebody asked me today

I told him God's to busy to worry about stone games :P

Heh, one of the oldest questions in the book. I'm surprised that we even take it seriously these days.

Anyway, the "answer" is quite simple: the question itself is invalid. Omnipotence doesn't include the ability to fail. So it makes no sense to ask if an omnipotent being is so powerful that he can fail at a task.

I've heard the one. If God is all powerful, could He make a burrito so hot He couldn't eat it? That one was kinda funny.

That's a real common question. Instead of answering it, I would suggest being a witness instead.

Something like, of course God is all powerful, he is so powerful that all of creation was made simply through the power of his word.

He is so powerful that he could instantly crush you and destroy you for making fun of him and rejecting him. He could instantly vaporize you, or smash you, or pull you limb from limb. But he choses not too, he loves you so much that he takes your dishonor and he waits, hoping that you too will be saved. Saved by having faith in Jesus, God Himself, who died for you in order to save you, even though he knew that you would insult him. Now that's love.

Of course God is very patient, but, in the end, if you continue to reject him, you yourself will be rejected and cast into the eternal lake of fire. But God and I both hope that doesn't happen.

How about it, are you going to quit wasting your time on worthless questions and receive Jesus as your Lord?

Try that.
