if "omnipotent" doesn't mean "can do literally anything", then "real" doesn't necessarily mean "exists in our reality" either.

You can squirm and manipulate the terms however you'd like, just know that nobody in the right mind would take your words seriously if you do that. If a manual needs to be interpreted, it's a bad manual. Any religion is just a fiction, pretending to be non-fiction. Same kinda thing as horrors with "based on real events" tagline, just turned up a few notches.

If a fiction needs interpretation and head-canons to be coherent, it's a bad fiction. The Bible is just bad from a literary standpoint, fiction or non-fiction. Its authors failed miserably at portraying a being that is so potent, it created literally everything.

What do you believe is his reason for creating people? He placed the tree of knowledge to give us choice, but in doing so opened the pathway to suffering. Why create beings with free will in the first place and give them the opportunity to hurt themselves or others.

If I bred and trained some puppies to not step on red floor tiles and then put them in a room where stepping on a red floor tile caused them to be set on fire or something, people would (in my opinion rightfully) suggest I was being unnecessarily cruel. I could make plenty of arguments as to why I'm in the right "I'm the reason they're here so I get to decide the conditions of their existence" or "I trained them first so I'm just seeing if they'll follow directions", but I don't think anyone would think I'm in the right. It feels somewhat like that's what god did. He made us fallible and gave us plenty of ways and reasons to fail. What is your interpretation of why?

In the Christian biblical sense and beliefs of creation ... God created everything out of nothing ... which implies that they are capable of creating and controlling everything ... the story of Noah is God deciding he didn't like his creation so they hit the reset button and wiped everyone out

So now we live in a world where so many terrible things are happening ... sure there are many good things and good people but there are also an overwhelming number of bad people and bad things making this world very, very uncomfortable ... so where is God? Things are worse (or just as bad) now than they were before the biblical flood ... so why hasn't God stepped in to either make things better - or hit the reset button again.

Which then begs the question of the paradox and asks where is God, what are they doing, and why aren't they doing anything?... and leads to the ultimate question about God ... do they actually exist?

I think your read on omnipotence is tautological. As a Christian, you are familiar with your god's resume: virgin birth, transubstantiation, worldwide simultaneous flood, resurrections, spontaneous healing of leprosy, temporary parting of the sea, hardening hearts, etc. What is canonically outside of his power?

Also your sentence about god being love and not being able to create... unless... Is not very clear to me. How can infinite love divide itself into unlove?

I can do everything that's possible for me. Am I omnipotent?

Omnipotence does not mean the ability to do anything whatsoever, but the ability to do everything that is possible.

Omni - all, potent - powerful/able. All powerful. Having unlimited or universal power. You can of course interpret as you want, but words are words and they have meaning.

Never thought of it that way
