Is the Christian God really all good, all powerful and present everywhere, and the creator of everything?

Christians describe God often in ways that make Him look like He's not all powerful or present everywhere. For example when people say He "cant do evil" or "evil is the absense of God", or that He didn't create evil.

Update:

@atheists: I mean this within the context of God existing, even if that is ficitional in your opinion. Just pretend it's the same as if I were asking about Spiderman. Just because he doesn't exist doesn't mean he can't shoot webs.

    God indeed has free will. However, neither God nor man is able to act against themselves. If a man does evil which he would prefer not to do, it still must be a part of who he is.

    Our Ability to accurately describe God is flawed because we cannot fully comprehend God. Because He is God and He is much bigger than us

    We have the bible which expresses some of his nature that we can accept, even if we cannot understand. Things like Trinity, Omniscience, Omnipresence et all, are well beyond our ability fully grasp

    As darkness is the absence of light,

    Evil is the absence of God's Goodness. Those who reject God dwell in the dark

    God created the POTENTIAL for evil, but all evil is fomented in the heart of man

    As for when God judges us, it is righteous and true, and while it can be very very harsh, it is never undeserved, and it is never evil
