For instance, we can imagine a pantheon of gods where one was omnipotent but not omniscient and another was omniscient but not omnipotent, etc.
The Bible actually makes the distinction between God (capitalized) and god (non- capitalized), but not in the sense of polytheism. A prophet was made a god, not in the context of worship, but because he spoke for God.
And the Lord said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet -
Exodus 7:1
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; - John 10 34-35
