Students often have many questions once they learn that God being all-powerful does not mean that he has the power to do all things. What can’t God do? God can’t go against his nature or do what is logically impossible. Then how did God raise Jesus from the dead? For that, we need to remember the difference between physically impossible and logically impossible.

How do you know that what’s physically possible isn’t the only logical possibility? If we actually understood all metaphysical and natural properties it may turn out that our universe is absolutely necessary and has no cause, and thus there is only one possibility, ever, on any level. This actually seems quite plausible based on physics and logical properties.
