Hmm....What if God gave us all his abilities including omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, perfect goodness, and. But our personality/characteristic still exist, only our negatives intentions are erased.
This is a What if question, so i'm only asking hypothetically about this idea.

lol great point!!, however i stated that you are omniscienct, so you would have known answer at the moment you receive god's ability.
remeber: no negative intentions(destruction, pain, hate, greed, etc.)

let me once clarify this again:
1. You are Omnipotence - wealth, power, greed serves no purpose.
2. You are Omniscience - you know what you and others are going to do, plus you know how to prevent the negative events.

We would then be equal to God. That can't be bad.

we will then all be the same, and depending on peoples views difference can be both good and bad. We might still have our good personalities and characteristics but then it will be the same through out everyone because everyone is yet so all powerful to make themselves "Perfect".The problem is though we won't want to be perfect because (usually) greed is a bad quality, and we won't have the want to become perfect. Also we then won't know what truly is good or bad, because we have nothing to compare to, if let us say it just happens sometime, we might be able to compare to the past, but since the negativity there will also be erased we still won't have anything to compare to. Then there are the other intentions and qualities that can be good and bad, such as curiosity, heroism, greed, life, and death. Curiosity is what got us this far in life we were curious about things and we studied them and used it to our advantage, but also because we were curious so people died, "curiosity kills". Heroism is good cause it saves peoples lives, but then it also might clog ones mind and make then forget common sense and they will do something stupid and then possibly die. Greed is already stated above. Life can be good and bad, shi* happens then it is bad, happy things happen then it is good. Death can be good because it is a peace of mind, but it is also bad because it causes sadness for those around, the problem is sadness is not allowed because sadness is negative. If you look at the neutral personalities and traits, and even powers there will be a lot of flaws. But sooner or later we will adapt to it and live on our daily repetitive lives.

The relative knowledge of the existence of the concept of Evil would only redefine the severity of it's definition.
Its a double negative as Evil does not equal Not Not Good.
As for omniscience, if someone becomes aware of their actions independently from their decisions -- they would only possess the illusion of free will as every action could be argued as a casual result of they environment in which they exist -- thus any decision would be predetermined in advance.

If this ever happened, someone would come along and try to take over, and that would be the end of utopia. In a perfect world peopled by a race of perfect people someone would think that They were just a little bit more perfect than others. We need our imperfections as much as we need Our individuality and unique personality.

You asked if we could find the flaw. The flaw is called "Hypothesis contrary to Fact". I can't argue for an unknowable. It's like saying ,"Buy X brand dog food. Your dog will think it's steak!" How could one possibly know that? But it is ok, I guess, to speculate. I just can't conceive of a human being with those abilities and gifts, that's all.

That doesn't really make sense. If some of your intentions are "erased" then so is a part of your personality. Also, since your personality changes with everything you learn, being omni-anything will change you into someone you wouldn't recognize. You would no longer be yourself.

We'll be making movies, TV serials, writing stories with no villans but only heroes. That sucks. Who will the hero fight to prove his heroism? Well, atleast we'll make movies about storms and fire accidents. Wait, we would be imniscientific....
forget it, I guess it wasn't a good attempt to answer this question. But hey, I got 2 points.

It is in man's nature to destroy.
History proves that time after time.
Man would use those powers to it's ultimate demise. And it would happen probably 100 times quicker than it already will.
