Does omnipotence not imply infinite power?

[sojourner]

I agree with this fully though, it is just that at some point god would have to have expressed this power for the first time or else you go into an infinite regress. I can be wrong though because I am not well versed on the multiverse theory at all so god may be able to be defined as infinite in expression of all things.

I believe so, although I can't imagine what that looks like. It seems like "first time" is wrong, though, especially in view of what we say about the Eucharist, that it is one meal shared in all times and in all places by all people. That implies something of infinity.

OK, that makes sense to me. What I'm saying would not apply to your view then.

Right. And, since that's how I apprehend God, it's really difficult for me to shift gears and begin thinking in terms of "a deity," without slipping back into my own mode of thinking.

I would think an omniscient being doesn't have knowledge, but is knowledge.

I would think an omniscient being doesn't have knowledge, but is knowledge.

Bingo!

As I understand it the difference is between being able to access all information and being eternally aware of all the information simultaneously.

Oh, I agree, but like I said, I don't find it a meaningful difference.
