The god paradox

I was having this discussion with some of my theist friends and they couldn't wrap their heads around what I was saying.

So I would love to see how it goes here.

The god paradox is essentially that "god" being able to do anything and everything could create something that he can't do.

for instance

Can god somehow create a rock that he himself is unable to lift up?

If he can that means he can't lift the rock.

If he can't lift the rock that means he is unable to do anything and everything.

thoughts?
opinions?
