How can an all-powerful God not be able to do things? Most atheists and theists would agree that an omnipotent God could not create square circles or married bachelors, a logical contradiction. Likewise, it is not a limitation on omniscience to not know where Alice in Wonderland is right now. So, omnipotence is being able to do the doable (the supernatural God can do anything except logical absurdities) and omniscience is knowing the knowable (there are things that are inherently unknowable due to the nature of creation God sovereignly chose). Words have a semantical range of meaning. The way Christ is elect is not identical to how individuals become part of Him and HIs elect Church.
