Well, I guess the obvious one is that if can't create something bigger than himself, then he is not omnipotent.

this is a tricky question
so, i'd say said omnipotent being would simply create another omnipotent being who is also immune to the powers of the original omnipotent being
so, let's say there is a god
and that god creates another god
but this new god is not subject to the powers of the original god
that is how it would be done

I generally believe that God cannot create a Being greater than Himself for this reason: the Supernatural source of creation of parts of all or all cannot have parts of all or all create the source.
Do you have doubts about everything being possible, like God dying or God dying and other lives staying alive?
List your doubts or beliefs regarding everything being possible.

Yes. EVERY darn time that burrito hurts! But the rest of the family like 'em hot. So God continues to make 'em hot.
A great mind indeed.
That's highly debatable...especially when one is hungry!

Easy. Humans were not really paying attention to what god was saying.
I'm possible = I'm + possible = I'mpossible = Impossible.
just a thought.

If God gave up power, that is, omnipotence, He would become at least a partial slave.

Esoteric Teacher, your formula of tying all possible pronunciations with spelling does not work most of the time.
Impossibilities do exist. I cannot run through the maximum diameter of the Sun within 1 second while wearing leg weights and drinking a diet pepsi.
