Omnipotence paradox

Claim:
Can God make a rock he can't pick up? If he can't pick it up, he isn't omnipotent. If he can't make it, he's not omnipotent.
CreationWiki Response:
This claim forgets that God has a nature he has to follow. Like we have human nature that we can't break, God has a nature that he can't break, for example God cannot do evil, as his nature is loving and good. It is not an issue of power. Nobody claims just because God is omnipotent, he can do the logically impossible, as his nature is logical. Logic is a reflection of God's thinking (see Transcendental argument), there's no reason to assume he has to be able to break it to be omnipotent.
