Of course I've said before.. you're assuming a deity existant in time to make that stick. As the Christian God is understood/ defined to exist outside of time, that doeasn't apply.
An omniscient god knows everything. Therefore he can never change his mind, have a new idea, be surprised etc.
However, if he is also omnipotent he can do anything including these things. If he cannot do these things he is not omnipotent and yet if he can then he can't be omniscient.
Either/or but not both.
That was aimed at anyone, even you.
I was assuming an entity that exists within the known laws of reality as beyond these is outside our understanding and therefore any prediction concerning this hyperthetical realm, including your 'that doesn't apply' statement is unknowable.
