Logical Thought definition

What is logical thought? Logical thought is defined by philosophers as “corresponding with reality and truth.” As in the thought is true and correct about reality. With this definition in mind, can god make a stone he couldn’t lift?
The thought of god making a stone he couldn’t lift seems illogical, as in not a logical thought, so it must not be true. Same with god not being logical in nature. How can truth’s very nature be untrue?

I’m sure most of you knew this, but the only philosophical way of determining possibility is through logical impossibility. If it isn’t logically impossible (like a per acciden infinite causal chain and or loop) it is logically possible. This is because possibility isn’t confined to laws and materials of our universe.

Logical impossibilty’s are found through contradiction primarily. A 3 sided circle is logically impossible, because a 3 sided 4 sided object contradicts itsel.

God being able to make a stone he couldn’t left contradicts god’s nature in 2 ways.
1. It contradicts the thought of all-powerfulness and claims there’s something beyond infinity.
2. It contradicts god not having any potentiality as the unmoved mover.

Same with objective abstract truth being illogical and not corresponding to truth and reality.
