How strong is God?

Concerning Goedel's ontological proof of the existence of God

Agreed. Positive and negative appears to depend upon the observer. For example, the world's suffering isn't so negative if the fear of death is answered, which it is by the gospel message.

I'm wondering whether the proposition that inherent contradiction bars existence of omnipotence could be one of those Goedelian statements that is true but undecidable within some sufficiently rich formalism, which must then be incomplete.
