Omniscient, Omnipresent, Omnipotent...

Somewhere in this forum I went to great pains to explain how a being cannot be both omniscient and omnipotent at the same time.

A simple example is that an omniscient being will know everything and therefore can never be surprised, change his/her mind or do anything unexpected.

If this is the case then they cannot be omnipotent as, of course, an omnipotent being can do anything.

On the other hand, if they are indeed omnipotent and can do anything then they do have the ability to be surprised etc. in which case they can't be omniscient.
