Could Jesus microwave a burrito so hot that he himself could not eat it? -

Solution
I don't know, but I bet there is some Bible verse that can be applied to this. There is one for every other situation ever, so why not this one.
As a mortal, I don’t think Jesus would have the omnipotence that God is claimed to have. Can he cure the blind? Sure. Duplicate bread? I guess. But I don’t think he would be able to manipulate something as unnatural and inorganic as an electrical appliance.

There's only one true God and that's the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Of course. An omnipotent god can, by definition, make anything he can conceive of.

This is a classic omnipotence paradox.
There are two possible answers.
The first is the most common, and was articulated best by Thomas Aquinas. Basically it boils down to the idea that we misunderstand what omnipotence means. It does not mean contradicting laws of nature or logic, and thus no, God cannot create burrito too hot to eat, but he is still omnipotent. There's a lot more to this regarding formal logical and defining omnipotence but you can read about it more if you want, its really deep apologetics stuff.
The second is that our own conception of omnipotence is hindered by our own status as limited beings. What this basically means is that because God is truly Omnipotent, he isn't bound by laws of logic and rationality, meaning that despite it making no sense he can both make a burrito he can and cannot eat at the same time. This view posits that logic, linearity etc themselves are limitations, and furthermore tools that we as humans use to imperfectly understand the world around us. Therefore God, being a divine being of entirely different substance isn't bound by them, and our inability to understand how that works is our problem not His.
Ultimately Jesus, being a pretty smart guy, and a total bro would know to just put it in for about 25 seconds less, thats usually enough to keep it from being too hot, and would return to the LAN party with burritos for everyone despite only microwaving one cus miracles n shieet.

Jesus here.
Its not that I can microwave a burrito so hot I can't eat it, it's that I'm so stoned that I can eat anything regardless.

Isn't there some shit about God existing outside of time? So he can't prevent himself from doing something in the future because time isn't something that constrains him in the first place. The making a burrito so hot he cannot eat it is essentially preventing himself from changing going against his current will at a later point, but since he exists outside of time there is no change of will or later point in time for him.
Or something like that idk.

No, the burrito would cool down over time, or would be microwaved so much that it would be an unappetizing brick and Jesus would cast it out to be eaten by a herd of swine.
