If he has constrains that he must work within, he not omnipotent.

Is it impossible for him to alter the terms?
Again, if it is impossible, he is not omnipotent. If it is possible, then it's a decision he makes as to who/what is good or bad.

15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat[a] of it you shall surely die.”-ESV
15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.-KJV
I'm having a hard time finding the version that ends with..."in the day you eat it you shall surely be tormented forever"...
