Performance anxiety?

That's one way to raise the dead.

Or at least cure the limp?

[Cyberman]

This is where my earlier omnipotent/impotent line should have gone. I always did have the habit of peaking too soon.

[Jackalope]

So you were premature? There's a pill for that as well.

[Drich]

No argument but just for your files, it is in scripture.

Revelation 19:6
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

Again you will only find this translation is support of the catholic based doctrine. Which by the nature of this post is flawed. Or do you dispute that fact, and you believe that doctrine is correct and God is indeed omnipotent?

[Godscreated]

God is almost omnipotent. He has many limits.

Omnipotent is defined in part as having power or authority without limits IOW, almighty.

Seems to me that God has a few limits.

He cannot reproduce true.

He does not need to He creates, example Adam.

He cannot enjoy sex.

He is Spirit and finds no need for it, He did create it for mankind to enjoy within marriage.

He cannot reproduce without bestiality or cross species breeding.

He finds no need for your practices.

He could not create a heaven without Satan.

Heaven exist and Satan will not soon.

He could not create Eden without evil in it.

He did, evil came later.

He cannot control wayward demons or devils.

Jesus put several in swine, and drove many out of people and told them to shut up and they did, some were extremely frightened when Jesus showed up. In the end He will cast them all in the lake of fire.

He cannot sin, although scripture says he does.

You're right, and thanks for pointing out such a wonderful thing. Scripture does not say God ever sinned, show me scripture to prove this statement.

He cannot live without needs like adoration, honour, obedience, love.

He has existed forever, what was it like before He created.

He cannot accept a soul into heaven without us accepting Jesus and human sacrifice.

His rules, live with it.

He could not forgive sin without having Jesus sacrificed.

How much more love could He have shown us, than to lay down His life for us.

How then can Christians say that God omnipotent, all-powerful and without limits when he clearly has many?

Because the limits He has are self imposed, that's the ultimate in power.
