“”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.”

Semantics. God is all-knowing. What God "thinks" is what is.

What God "thinks" is not unknowable. God has revealed what He "thinks" in Scripture.

Whose thoughts? The Lord's thoughts.
