As a member of the Armed Forces, this comment honestly offends me. I've been in for 6 years now, already completed 1 deployment and have not at any point felt "good" about holding a gun in my hands shooting "bad" guys. The fact that you even think that shows how ill-informed you truly are. I urge you to take time out of your honorable life and go spend some time with these people that you are so quick to bash.
If god doesn't know what decision we will make then god is not omnipotent, simple as that. Omnipotent means knowing everything, past, future and present, but if god doesn't know what we will do then he doesn't know everything and is not omnipotent.
I would have to say that omniscient means knowing everything infinitely. Omnipotent means all powerful. I guess you could say that by being omnipotent you would be omniscient but I think there is at least a slight difference in the two.
