Why would they come up in your dad's sermons? Does he go around preaching vaguely nondenominational sermons? Do you go to your dad's church every Sunday? Were you there when he blamed the U.S. government for AIDS

This represents a rather odd window where a person completely trusts an ancient book of myths, so much so as to believe in the supernatural without question, but also is skeptical enough to not take the book at face value?

Seems kind of odd, doesn't it.

Omnipotence is WIDELY accepted across all Abrahamic faiths.

It probably is. That doesn't mean that its significance to different sects of different faiths can be accurately determined from selective holy book quotation. We all know that theists generally presume god to be omnipotent. What that actually means probably depends on who you ask.

You mean malevolence, right?

Sure, if that works for you. Find me a bible verse where god claims that suffering isn't part of being human.
