I am the one who believes that all of God's attributes are independently "all" without reference to any of the others.

Only You?? Logically, God's attributes are intertwined. Logically, without Omnipotence, the others cannot exist. They find their basis in His Omnipotence.

As I said before if God is not Omnipotent, He's not God. This is not limiting God's attributes, it is seeing that there is a logical reason for them, and a logical order to their function. His Foreknowledge flows from His Omnipotence, it does not exist separately from it. His Omnipresence likewise flows from His Omnipotence, for only an Omnipotent Being could be everywhere at the same time. His Love, His Mercy, His Justice, His Holiness, ALL flow from His Omnipotence.

When we refer to Him as God ALMIGHTY, we are acknowledging His Omnipotence. Without His Omnipotence, He is not God.

I don't think they all derive from God's omnipotence.

Otherwise, we'd simply say, "God is omnipotent."
