Excellent point on the fact that God is THE Almighty.
God The Omnipotent has been called many names. I think that El Shaddai is one of those names. Could you tell us where the name El Shaddai originated? What does it mean?
Thanks,

El Shaddai means "God Almighty." I found a good link that gives some history on El Shaddai HERE. Thank you for your comment and questions.
