Can God Do the Impossible?

Can God Do the Impossible?
Show Notes

In today's Iyov class (4/7/20 at Lomdeha) we tackled one of the classic "spicy questions": Can God do the impossible? We examined four "no" answers: one based on logic, and the other three given by various meforshim (Rambam, Saadia Gaon, and the Sefer ha'Ikkarim). Some questions we left unanswered, but hopefully the lesson was sufficiently clear to convey the main points.

I usually don't upload my Iyov shiurim as podcasts, but this topic was enough a standalone that I deemed it uploadworthy.
