chezlaw: If you're omnipotent, the only way to make something you cannot unmake is to devoid yourself of that power. Once you do that, you'll no longer be omnipotent

I'm not sure what you mean by unmake but if you deny god the ability to do things that reduce his omnipotence then you are denying god's omnipotence.
A coherent meaning of omnipotence such as an omnopiotent being can do anything they want but in making p the case they make ~p impossible, avoids the problem I think.
So god can make the world in 7 days but that entails not making it in 8 days. god can flip a random coin but then cant predict the outcome.
and if god really wants to he can commit deicide.
