Um no D, if one is to claim a God is "all powerful" then saying "cant" negates that power. For a God to be "all powerful" they have to be capable of lying to include any and all actions. Exclude an action, that puts a limit on the word "all".
The better argument, I'd make if I were still a theist would be, "He wouldn't do that, even though he can if he wants to".
But even then, you are stuck with "How would you know?" What methodology and control groups would help you objectively determine you've been told the truth by such a being?
He cant be "all powerful" if he is incapable of lying, even about an oath.
