omniscience

Omniscience refers to having unlimited understanding or knowledge. In religious contexts, particularly within classical theism, God is described as an omniscient, omnipotent, and perfect being who is the absolute, eternal first cause. This means God possesses complete knowledge of all things, including the future, which is seen as existing in God's eternal "Now".12

While God's essence is considered beyond human comprehension and reason, theists believe in a form of knowledge of God through rational argument and, often, divine revelation. This understanding of God's omniscience is a fundamental aspect of many religions, though it raises philosophical questions about free will and the nature of knowledge itself.342
