Richard Swinburne addressed paradoxes about this property by saying it extends to logical impossibilities. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this property of being all-powerful, which God is said to possess along with omniscience and omnipresence.
ANSWER: omnipotence [or word forms like omnipotent]
[10h] The standard omnipotence paradox is the “paradox of the stone,” which asks whether God can create a stone with this specific property.
ANSWER: being too heavy for God to lift [accept synonyms for any of the underlined portions; accept him or other personal pronouns in place of God; prompt on partial answers like being heavy or unliftable]
[10m] This thinker argued that God cannot bring about predicates incompatible with their subjects, such as a man being a donkey. The “argument from motion” is one of this thinker’s “five ways.”
ANSWER: Thomas Aquinas [or Tomasso d’Aquino; prompt on Saint Thomas or Doctor Angelicus]
