There are plenty of things I personally do that have nothing to do with any limitation on my own "power". Plenty of ways that I behave which are not compelled by overcoming limitations in some way. I get that a limited god couldn't be said to be all powerful in the plainest or strictest sense, but it's not clear that acting any particular way implies limitations - though we could grant that acting some ways does.
You would not have done any of the things that had ever done were you not motivated by the neurological circuitry you have. You came to have these circuitry because in the past of your genetic history your powers had been and continue to be extremely circumscribed and these circuitry allow had allowed your genetic li edge to circumvent a tiny fraction of the overwhelming limits within which they had been compelled to operate.
In other words, god would not have done any of the things ascribed to him if the propensity to do these things did not in his past help him circumvent a small fraction of the limits within which he had been compelled to operate.
