Let me just go into this: Your question is a typical example of Gödel's incompleteness theorem in action. This theorem states that every nontrivial formal language contains statements which are neither provable nor refutable. I.e., they are undecidable. Here the axiom "God is omnipotent" is applied to the paradox "Omnipotent enough to not be omnipotent".
So you see this is not a decidable question. It is not even a sensible question to ask. It's like the barber who shaves every person that doesn't shave themself. It also goes to show that philosophers and the religious have a tendency to go off on issues which are redundant by science.
In a sense I'm paraphrasing rsl12. But my view of "truth" is the notion of "expert's agreement". And we only have our fellow humans to converse with and ask to be our co-experts at the moment. So we're bound to logic.
