Our understanding of knowledge, being, space, time...etc...
The assumption that this theoretical omniscient God's mind operates in the same general way as ours seems like a bit of a stretch.
I think the old timey bible stories humanize God in a way that makes him an easier sell to humans, but if such a being existed as defined rather than what we see in the stories, it'd be a much different thing.
If God has nothing to do with our understanding of anything else in existence, then we can't even say if he exists. This line of reasoning you're using is really just a dodge.
One thing I would change from my argument is that P4 should say that the being couldn't know that it is omniscient.
