Religiosity has distorted the application of the terms Omni when used in association with Jehovah God of the Bible. God isn't omnipresent. His position is said to be in heaven, so he can't be all places at once. Omniscient and omnipotent are used in an exaggerated way in religious context. Omni comes from the Greek, meaning all, but, just as the term omnivore doesn't imply that an animal will eat literally everything the same logical limitations should be considered when the omni titles are applied to God. An omnivore doesn't eat space time continuum's or thermonuclear warheads. Except for perhaps, in cartoons. Likewise, God can't be everywhere all at once, nor know everything all the time, nor do anything.
God can't lie. God had to ask Adam and Eve, and Cain what they had done. God sent angels to see if Sodom and Gomorrah was as bad as people had been praying to him, and his position is fixed in heaven, though he has appeared in other places. It would be pointless to say God was with Moses on the mountain, or inside Solomon's newly constructed temple.
God can be where ever he wants, can get any information he wants, and can do anything that's within the harmony of his personality and will. But that's as far as it goes.
