I didn't know there were any Jains on RF. I would like to hear an expanded version of you answer. I have read a lot about Jainism, but it's hard to grasp sometimes.

om·nip·o·tent

2. having very great or unlimited authority or power.
God's works and his power is without end.
Is honesty a limitation? Which is more powerful a lie or the truth? The truth is, for in it is the power to destroy lies.

You are rather adept at mental gymnastics.
God cannot be all powerful if he cannot lie.
Nice try though.

lets look at the word all powerful shall we.
all-pow·er·ful
   [awl-pou-er-fuhl] Show IPA
adjective having or exercising exclusive and unlimited authority; omnipotent
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/allpowerful.
God's authority reaches across the universe. How is his authority limited?
For God has authority over all things, all things being an infinite number of things.

Does he directly executes all the actions in the world or he requires some kind of intermediation?
If someone performs a Sin , is God responsible for it or that person is responsible for it?
Above logic. He's about 2 and a half meters above. Some estimates place him closer to three meters, but I think that's just because they aren't used to the metric system.

"The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as mans; the Son also; but the Holy Ghost has not a body of flesh and bones, but is a personage of Spirit. Were it not so, the Holy Ghost could not dwell in us."

Could you clarify the question for me?
Men are responsible for their own sins.

You limit god when you claim god cannot lie.
Gods authority is limited to those who allow him to have authority over them.
To vote for the candidates God and Murdock want us to vote for.

Does God have authority over Satan? Yes, which is why when God commands Satan to leave, Satan leaves.
When God says you go to Heaven, you go to Heaven and when he says you go to hell you go to hell, no arguing about it.
God definitely has authority over all the universe.
God doesn't though have control over EVIL, so your paradise is a fantasy. Sorry
BTW god must be evil if god is infinite.
I think that may depend upon which definition of infinite you are using. Infinite doesn't necessarily mean that it is everything.

Except for the fact that god himself has not done anything.
It is always gods followers who do the doing.
So like I said, god only has authority over those who give him authority over them.
Unfortunately for you and your god, your giving your god authority over everyone does not give god authority over any but those who consent to your authority.
and even here, it is not god doing a damn thing...it is gods followers doing the doing.

How does God not have control over evil and why must God be evil in order to be infinite?
