The Omnipotence Paradox: Can God Do Anything?

The Omnipotence Paradox seems to show that God CAN'T do all things! Is that the case? Is the notion of an omnipotent God nonsense?

A few insights:
1. The definition of "a God" is "a maximally great being", so there cannot be anything greater than him. (As said in the video)
2. God is a supernatural being, not a physical being. A rock is a physical being. Therefore they cannot be compared on the same plane. (Imagine supernatural as one plane and physical as the other. They will not intersect.)
3. Even if God becomes a physical force of nature, because he is the maximum, a greater being or force cannot exist.

0:44 The omnipotence paradox is not a good reason to believe that God doesn't exist. It is a good reason to think that God is either not all-powerful over logic, if he does exist, and must obey it, or that God has finite power, which means he should have no problem creating a rock he cannot lift, which adds more to the list of things God cannot do. It also means that God did not create logic, and is subject to it, if you define omnipotence as the ability to do only the logical. I ask why I should then bother calling him God.
1:03 If God cannot lie, then he cannot even do what a human can. If he cannot do logically impossible things, then he can't even do what quantum physics does all the time. He is weaker than the universe. Why call him God? According to your definition of God, he cannot even make himself less powerful than another being, which is something I can do.
1:43 When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, the force does not stop, and the object does not move. It isn't that hard to figure out. That is, the force passes right through the immovable object without moving it the same way a force can pass through the balls of a Newton's Cradle without the middle ones moving.
2:23 You have failed to poke holes in the omnipotence paradox, and it has stood for 800 years without being resolved by anyone. In any case, God is not omnipotent even if you define omnipotence as the ability to do all things logical.

Bible god won't even go after foes with iron. Judges 1:19.

Woah the things I've never even considered!

God will create a being stronger than Him but able to destroy it.

Can god make it rain and not rain at the same time in the same place?

I think God created logic for this earth. He broke logic when he walked on water I think he can break logic (as He created it) to make a rock too big to lift.
I think you are unnecessarily limiting God by saying there are things He can't do.
I think God can tell a lie if He wanted to because he can break logic- now would He? Probably not, but I think He definitely can.
Limiting God is dangerous because if He is the ultimate ultimate being who essentially is everything and can create the known universe out of nothing, He can break logic.
Great video, I've been trying to find some real answers to this question!
