The triangle of Omniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnibenevolence describes three fundamental attributes often associated with the divine in theology and philosophy, portraying the ultimate nature of a perfect being.


  1. Omniscience: Omniscience is the quality of possessing complete and unlimited knowledge. It implies an all-knowing awareness of everything—past, present, and future—extending to all events, thoughts, and possibilities in existence.

  2. Omnipotence: Omnipotence is the power to do anything that is logically possible. It signifies unlimited authority and capability to create, sustain, and govern the universe, often seen as the ultimate source of all power.

  3. Omnibenevolence: Omnibenevolence represents infinite goodness and perfect love. It reflects the unwavering commitment to the well-being of creation, embodying compassion, justice, and mercy.


Balancing omniscience, omnipotence, and omnibenevolence paints a picture of a being that is all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-loving—a cornerstone of many theological perspectives.
