Omnipotence, of course, means having ALL power. The literal meaning
of the term is 'all-powerful'. Therefore, by definition, something
that is omnipotent has all the power in or of the cosmos.
Omniscience literally means 'all-knowing' - therefore something that
is omniscient does indeed possess all knowledge that exists anywhere
and at any time.
If the Bible does not mean the above when it uses these two terms,
then it has no business using them. These are the definitions of
these words: "all-powerful" and "all-knowing".
I think it is in total agreement with Christianity to say that God
needs us in His work.
Then God is not omnipotent, and the Bible lies if it calls Him that.
Flawless logic.
