To be omnipotent, one must be capable of giving oneself perfect ability. It doesn't require that one must have perfect ability.

A being that is all-powerful despite having a disability must truly be more powerful than a being that doesn't have that limitation. In fact, the being that is all-powerful despite having the most limitations must be the most allest-powerfulest of all.

This is just the semantic word games you get with terms like "all-powerful". I've never cared for arguing about the term, because it's ill-defined 🤷

    I do not think a being can be all-powerful and have a disability, because a disability is a lack of ability. Any limitations must be self-imposed and not substantive—they would have to be purely symbolic—or the being would otherwise be limited, and therefore not omnipotent.

    The being with a true disability that is all-powerful must truly be aller-powerfuler than another being that lacks that true disability.

    Yeah, it's a silly argument, but that's because theology as a whole is silly.
