The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.

He sure can. That's why God's word tells us to search the Scriptures and compare Scripture with Scripture "to see if these things be so."

To pluck a verse or passage from Scripture and claim "This is what God thinks" is infantile;

lol. No one randomly plucks anything. God's word is written in black and white and made knowable to men with eyes to see and ears to hear. Pray for God to gift you with some.

Scripture represents what God tells us

I thought you just said to believe that was foolish.

-- and he tells us different (and often apparently contradictory) things in different verses and passages.

LOLOL. The last refuge of the Biblically illiterate -- the Bible is too confusing and God is a really bad author so we need a bunch of old, fallible men to tell us what the Doofus is trying to say to us.

Even using the locution "God thinks" is, at the very least, taking unwarranted liberties. Kosta, can we even say "God thinks"?

LOLOL. This entire comment is a riot. You're asking a self-professed agnostic about the authority of Scripture???

AND you're expressing doubt that "God thinks."

lolol. Thanks. This has been fun.

“”AND you’re expressing doubt that “God thinks.””

What is there for God to think about since He knows all things?

From Saint Thomas Aquinas..

“The infinite defies knowledge in so far as it defies counting. To count the parts of the infinite is an intrinsic impossibility, as involving a contradiction. To know a thing by enumeration of its parts is characteristic of a mind that knows part after part successively, not of a mind that comprehends the several parts together. Since then the divine mind knows all things together without succession, it has no more difficulty in knowing things infinite than in knowing things finite.”
