Doesn't the Bible deal with these on a case specific situations; and of coursce "all-powerful" is a very relative term?

I believe since God is a creator,
He could not be only powerful in specific situations, then He is not perfect.

Since Genesis 1:1 God has claimed He is
Most Powerful ( noone can beat him )
Knowing Everything ( past , present , future )
Everywhere ( Otherwise, he won't know anything ).


It's my personal point of view. I might be wrong. I don't know, I am still searching for TRUTH.

The Bible teaches that God reigns over the nations from His holy throne in Heaven (Psalm 47:8; Isaiah 6:1, 66:1; Hebrews 4:16). Even though we know that God’s presence is in some sense uniquely in Heaven, the teachings of Scripture also make it clear that God is omnipresent (present everywhere at the same time).
His eternality (Psalm 90:2); His immutability, or unchanging quality (James 1:17); His love (1 John 4:8); His omnipotence, or being all powerful, the Almighty One (Revelation 1:8); His omnipresence, or being everywhere present at all times (Psalm 139:7-11);
God is present everywhere (Psalm 139:7-8), but God is not everything. God knows everything ( omnicient), whether actual or possible (Psalm 139:1-6; Romans 11:33-35). God does not learn because He already has all knowledge.

Here is a description of omnipresent: " Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? 8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. 9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, 10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. 11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," 12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. Ps 139:7-12 (NIV

One of many that allude to omnipotence is:... Jeremiah 32:27 says, "Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? ...

Here is an example of all-knowing: "Who has understood the mind of the LORD, or instructed him as his counselor? 14 Whom did the LORD consult to enlighten him, and who taught him the right way? Who was it that taught him knowledge or showed him the path of understanding? Isa. 40:13-14 (NIV)

Very good question....I wish i could star it...but my work computer will not allow me too...although I can give a thumbs up...I don't get it.

God is the beginning and the end. God told Moses at the burning bush "I Am". Before all things God was and still is all in all. This would make Him omnipresence. God can do all things for Omnipotent, and God created all things to make Him omniscience and He knows all things even the heart of a man for man's motives.
It is a group of word today that can be used to describe God's sovereignty.

Revelation 19:6
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia : For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

OMNISCIENT - Psalm 147:5. Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.

OMNIPOTENT - Revelation 19:6b ...for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

OMNIPRESENT - Jeremiah 23:24b Do not I fill heaven and earth? Saith the Lord.

I'm sure he's not. Iron can beat him:

Judges 1:19 The LORD was with the men of Judah. They took possession of the hill country, but they were unable to drive the people from the plains, because they had iron chariots.

After more than 2000 years we now know that the phrase "omni" can be replaced by "nono"
As the Latins would say; Absentia Eternica.

Nowhere but it's a concept the religious try to maintain. The god of the bible is clearly a physical being.
