The first line of the wiki article: "Omnipotence is the quality of having unlimited power."

Reference #1 Saint Augustine: A theologian.

Reference #2 John Polkinghorn: A theologian.

Well they would say that wouldn't they?

This is getting to be a stupid tangent. You have uncovered the fact that theologians have been discussing a theological term for 1700 years!!! AND that there are books written on the subject. Of course this illustrates exactly the opposite of what you think: that the word cannot be defined in 7 words. Thanks for making my point.

It also means the word doesn't mean whatever you want it to mean.
