Not having the ability to do something is a limit, which negates the word "all" in "all powerful".
The bible in fact does depict him murdering people he does not like and does so many times in the bible, either himself or by his blessings of his followers doing it for him.
I am always amazed at the different bullshit excuses made for this fictional character, " a bi product of his creativity"...
Nope sorry, in real life in the west if a product is proven harmful to the public the maker can be sued and held responsible for the defective product, just like the Japanese airbag makers are being sued for the defective airbags that lead to the deaths of several consumers.
Infanticide is illegal, but in the fictional story God has the Egyptian first born murdered. The flood is a horrible fictional story, but in it he murders everyone who doesn't kiss his ass.
I am sure Kim Jong Un will treat you well as long as you kiss his ass an don't raise a peep in any form of dissent or disagreement.
You misunderstand omnipotence. This should help (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnipotence)
The term omnipotent has been used to connote a number of different positions. These positions include, but are not limited to, the following:
- A deity is able to do anything that it chooses to do.[1]
- A deity is able to do anything that is in accord with its own nature (thus, for instance, if it is a logical consequence of a deity's nature that what it speaks is truth, then it is not able to lie).
- Hold that it is part of a deity's nature to be consistent and that it would be inconsistent for said deity to go against its own laws unless there was a reason to do so.[2]
- A deity can bring about any state of affairs which is logically possible for anyone to bring about in that situation.
- A deity is able to do anything that corresponds with its omniscience and therefore with its worldplan.
- Every action performed in the world is 'actually' being performed by the deity, either due to omni-immanence, or because all actions must be 'supported' or 'permitted' by the deity.
