I'm pretty sure that objections to these things are as old as their insistence Bel.
Anywho, your revision of the omnis doesn't help god escape the dilemma referenced. God would be uniquely powerless in the situation you described for the same reason that god is uniquely powerless in the situation the other poster described. You could call gods uniquely powerlesss situation omnipotence if you like, since any power outside of it would be self defeting within the context of omniscience as either of you have described...but that's all you'd be doing...and that's probably why the omnis have always been subject to these objections. Objections that existed before christ was a twinkle in pauls eye, and long before the catholic church took to laundering it's silly ideas by dropping the names of dead pagans. Pagans who..and I can't believe this escaped our super academic notice...got it wrong themselves.
