Another less conventional way to answer the paradox is by saying that if God wanted to, He could take on human form and zap a rock into existence above His body, thus being too heavy for Him to lift.

It comes from a ''lack'' of power which God does not have, just as sin is an example of a lack of goodness in humans which God does not have.
