What does omniscient mean?

God has unlimited power
God has complete knowledge
God has unlimited goodness and love
God is present everywhere

The correct answer is: God has complete knowledge

The term "omniscient" specifically refers to having complete or unlimited knowledge. In theological contexts, when we say that God is omniscient, we are emphasizing that God possesses perfect knowledge of all things past, present, and future, including the thoughts and intentions of individuals. This attribute suggests that nothing is hidden from God's awareness. While other attributes of God, such as being omnipotent (unlimited power) or omnipresent (present everywhere), are significant aspects of divine nature, they do not pertain to the meaning of omniscience. Therefore, the correct interpretation aligns well with the understanding that omniscience is solely focused on knowledge rather than power, goodness, or presence.
