Is one called "omniscient" because [one] knows all objects simultaneously, or in succession one after another, or because [one] knows the entire world through one eternal form, or because [one] knows only what is useful for human purposes such as the effects of actions, or is [one] called "omniscient" because [one] possesses the capacity to know all things - like fire which, though not actually consuming everything either simultaneously or successively, is still called "all-consuming"?
