Why does the Bible say nothing is impossible with God when God cannot lie?
A viewer named Lucas from Poland asks why the Bible says nothing is impossible with God when this seems untrue, since God cannot lie, which appears to bring limitations to God, like saying nothing is impossible for a man except the things that limit him.
Answer
You have to read it in context. When Jesus says nothing will be impossible, the context in Matthew is prayer, and what it means is that nothing good and within God's will is impossible for Him to do. To be good it cannot be a lie or false or made up, because that is simply the nature of God. So in prayer you can ask for anything, physical or spiritual, and God will not tell you He is unable, though whether you get a yes depends on whether it is good and in His will; do not count on the two-week trip to Hawaii. You can even say it is impossible for God to give you something bad, and that is a true statement, because God is good. That is different from other contexts, such as the childhood puzzle of whether God can make a rock so big He cannot lift it; that is not a prayer context and would be answered differently. So you are confusing contexts. Know your context first, and then draw your conclusions about how everything fits within it.
