Does He know all future events or just past ones? In His native plane or only ours (using the programmer analogy)? Does He know all the logical implications of His knowledge or is He limited by processing power? (If so why run a simulation at all?)
Must God be greater than all other beings? All other possible beings? Or can God also have a God? Why not skip your intermediate God and pick the greater being to worship?
(Again, I think the naiive interpretation is incoherent.) Is God a halting oracle? At what degree?
Or if not (because halting oracles are in some sense “impossible”), how many digits of Chaitin’s constant does He know?
I’m not expecting an actual number here. These are rhetorical questions pointing out that any such number would be finite, and thus there are questions with answers that God does not know, and therefore, no matter what number you pick, in principle, beings could be greater than God.
Must God be omniscient?

I would say that God do not have a God, otherwise we would consider the second one as the true God.
Regarding halting oracle, let me first read it and understand what is it.
