For example, Omniscient, I wouldn't say gods knows how to create other gods because he knows everything, I think he knows it's impossible to create other gods, likewise, i don't believe it's possible to ALL the future if we were to allow free-will. Therefore this refers to him knowing all things possible to be known.
Likewise, Omnipotent, I would define as being able to do all things logically possible. To define it as doing things all logically possible or not logically possible is not a definition I would hold and believe in it.
Likewise, he is utmost merciful, absolute in it, but in it's proper place, he is the most merciful, and in the place of justice, is the most just, and in the place of wrath the most severest in it.
Likewise, God is benevolent, but his benevolence has a place, a way, a path.
Which is a nicely self serving definition, since you're also expanding what is logically possible and hoping we don't notice. It is not, for example, logically possible to create a universe, and yet god does that, so your idea of what's logically possible is quite radically different from what humans understand to begin with. This definition of yours is retrofitting, plain and simple: whatever god is described as doing is logically possible regardless of whether it appears so from our perspective, and whatever god has not done that it would have been smarter to have done is logically impossible because... you said so, apparently?
