With that superpower, he can go ahead and make himself omnibenevolent and omniscient to boot. Put it all together, and you have a paradox, but he's god, so he's allowed to be such, contradictory as it may seem.
Now enter God's description for Himself. "Alpha Omega/The Begining and end to all things." Which means he has the authority to do or be as much of the defination of omni-max God as He wants to be. while at the same time not bound to the defination of Omni-anything.
Think about it, if a deity is bound by the defination of a word or concept is that being all powerful? Vs Having the authority to do what he wants to do?
Can God create a rock so big he can not lift it? An omni-max deity would be in a paradox, The Alpha and Omega could create a rock that big if He wanted to, or couldn't if He didn't want to.. That is the true defination of all powerful.
I expected some hems and haws in response to my sarcastic remark, but I should have known mental gymnastics would actually follow.
