I once asked this the local priest, reffering to God, and he responded :"He can, and he did, the stone is a man, and that stone (human) can only be "lifted" by itself alone (reffering to its transition to heaven)"

A nice one, i give him that

Of course, if the priest had wheels, he would be a bicycle

You priest sounds like a Pelagian heretic, please inform the bishop.

Eparch is the same as bishop, brat.

Once a woman approached me and asked "Who controls the world? Is it God? The Man? or the Nature?"
I paused for a moment and answer "no one does". She said God did.

IMO he technically could, but then he stops being omnipotent. More to the point, he can limit his powers to create this stone.

In Italian the saying goes "if grandma had wheels she'd be a cart".

I don't think that's a common saying for English speakers. They are missing out!

Absolutely

It's so close and yet so much cooler than the local, Polish "if grandma had moustache, she'd be grandpa"

What was God up to before the creation?

What do you do when no one is looking? That's what.

What was God up to before the creation?

Space and time itself was created in the creation so there is no before.
I think this might help your cause, it's really thought provoking

If God is omnipotent and created the universe, he must have existed before the creation.

This forum gets really deep sometimes.

If God is omnipotent and created the universe, he must have existed before the creation.

That's what the Bible says too, he was always there, chillin'.

They were tying up trash bags with leftovers of previous universe and leaving bins on their driveway.

"before", "was created", "have existed", "was always" all these imply the existence of time. I think we are so bounded by the space-time we don't have any linguistic capabilities that can be used to describe a scenario that time doesn't exist, in any language. We need a tense transcends time (a timeless tense). Closest thing is the present tense which doesn't mean any spesific time but still doesn't trancend time.
So, considering all of these, my answer would be we, human beings, are not grammatically capable of arguing these kinds of scenarios
