Putin is a corrupted politician and no doubt, he is communist.
It is very good question, I hope you can answer that.

Dear Ms. Hope,
Mr. Putin is perhaps one of the only current world leaders that is a potential True Christian™.
We all pray for him. Many of your countrymen have asked for this, too, as
explained elsewhere. What is Godless sodomistic "independence" of a makeshift sorry excuse for a nation compared to ETERNITY with God and Jesus!? The tradeoff is not that difficult to make, after all, is it!?
The second part of your post is about the
omnipotence paradox. It is not a very good question, actually, and it has been answered several times. It is mostly a rhetorical trick to make God out Lord look silly and, thus, an
ad ridiculum argument, a fallacy.
"Can God create a stone so heavy that He cannot lift it?" This question derives from false Christian cat lick scholastics; it assumes that God can do anything that is logically possible, which - by definition - restricts God's abilities to those humans see logical. But God does not yield to restrictions!
And there are, however, also structured answers to this naïve question. I introduce you my favorite one and then add some of my own thoughts (Frankfurt, H. 1964 "The Logic of Omnipotence" in
Philosophical Review).
Of course God can create a stone like that. Why would he not be able to do that? He is God, He is omnipotent. Of course He can! Then, He can lift it, too! Why not?! He can do everything!
He is NOT restricted by our logic. Nor is He restricted by you petty trickeries and infantile logical games. He kicks the butt of logic if He wishes to. He kicks ass. He is GOD supreme to logical games and concepts.
That is why He should be loved and feared, admired and obeyed, followed and regarded with terrific awe!
Exodus 3:14
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM : and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
Look at that verse. That is GOD.
He can make any stone.
He can lift any stone.
Exodus 34:10
And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
Yours in Christ,
Elmer
