Omnipotence God is all-powerful
Omnipresence God is everywhere
Omniscience God is all-knowing
Omnibenevolence God is all-loving
Let us begin by acknowledging that God is bigger and greater than our thinking. We are the created, thus we cannot fully comprehend everything of the Creator. Neither is it our job to do so. Those theologians who claim to understand God are well intentioned fools in my opinion. It is akin to saying a tiny ant can comprehend where a picnic basket comes from.
Isaiah 55:8-9
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.
‘For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
This is not a complete list of Bible verses, but ones I considered pretty clear in support of the specific Omni. Many of the verses may apply to other Omni’s as they are closely linked.
