all knowing
A
omnipotent
B
loathsome
C
unconverted
D
sovereign
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Omniscience is the property of having complete or maximal knowledge. Along with omnipotence and perfect goodness, it is usually taken to be one of the central divine attributes. One source of the attribution of omniscience to God derives from the numerous biblical passages that ascribe vast knowledge to him.

Detailed explanation-2: -To be omniscient is to know everything. This often refers to a special power of God. If you combine the Latin roots omnis (meaning “all") and scientia (meaning “knowledge"), you’ll get omniscient, meaning “knowledge of all.” It would be nice to be omniscient: then you would know absolutely everything in the world.

Detailed explanation-3: -The three qualities of God that theologians talk about in this area are the “omnis”: His omnipotence-he can do anything. His omniscience-he knows everything. His omnipresence-he is everywhere.

Detailed explanation-4: -Summary. Omnipotence means that God is in total control of himself and his creation. Omniscience means that he is the ultimate criterion of truth and falsity, so that his ideas are always true. Omnipresence means that since God’s power and knowledge extend to all parts of his creation, he himself is present everywhere.

Detailed explanation-5: -He is All Knowing! To be omnipresent is to be in all places, at all times.
