How does God perform thinking?

[tonychanyt]

Human beings perform reasoning in a stepwise manner. We begin with some facts and derive some other facts by deduction. We assume, calculate, deduce, derive, and conclude. That is our thinking process.

God is omniscient. He knows everything. He does not think the way we do. Isaiah 55:

8 “For my thoughts are not your thought, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

God knows everything. There is no need for God to perform step-by-step analysis the way we do.

Can God do math calculations faster than a super-computer?

Yes, furthermore, God knows the answer before the question is presented to the super-computer.

God is omniscient. He knows everything. He does not think the way we do. Isaiah 55:

In fact, our use of the word, "think", itself is presumptive; and when applied to God, is necessarily ignorantly understood.

God knows everything. There is no need for God to perform step-by-step analysis the way we do.

Yes, furthermore, God knows the answer before the question is presented to the super-computer.

The idea goes much farther than just thinking. There is reason to say that for God to think is to do, to say is to create, and to create is to be immanent, to do the infinite is no harder than to do the temporal limited, and it goes on and on. For God to see is to cause.

Nothing exists in and of itself, except God. It is WE who must consider each thing something in/of itself.
