It's not possible to *test* Cain because god knows the answer already. He know which response will be chosen. To suggest otherwise is to suggest that god is not omniscient.

Your argument is that there are certain possible choices that god knows about, but does not know which one Cain will choose. But re-read that last statement - "does not know." By not knowing something, your position is that god is not omniscient. 

I'm not saying there are certain possible choices God knows about, he knows of all possible choices and outcomes. It doesn't matter to him which Cain chooses as all are a potential reality.

I know my last statement and it's badly worded, I'll admit that. I was mainly trying to form a counter arguement to the idea that an omniscient being had to reason to question someone.

Okay, so now you're saying that all possible choices and outcomes are seen but god doesn't know which will be picked? That's still not knowing something, which negates omniscience.

Potential reality - the implication here is that there are probabilities associated to them, which implies uncertainty. Again, you keep admitting that god does not know things.
