This is a question that came up during one of the bible studies I attended recently. I am no philosopher nor theologian so expect not a profound answer. But a simple two cents worth (promise to keep it short!):
The omnipotent God can of course do all things, but His omnipotence is exercised in accordance to His nature and will. He will not do things that contravene His nature nor act apart from His will. “Do not test me,” He says. So in that sense, God can die if and when He wants to, but death has no bound over Him. Because God is the Giver of Life, He is Life. God can die, but unlike man, His death is not absolute. And God will and did die, because He planned to.
And yes, I am referring to the cross. Where Jesus who is God in human flesh, gave up his life for the Father’s salvation plan for sinners. And after He died, He rose again and death has forever lost its sting.
God can die, and He did die. For you.
