People naturally assume that God thinks. After all, we were created in His/Her image and likeness, so it is obvious that God thinks. God merely has a bigger, grander model of brain-power than his creations have.
But is this kind of
thinking realistic? In order for people to think, what is required? Answer: a human body, a healthy brain, a central nervous system, and one more thing -- you must be alive (a corpse does not think). Yet, God does not have a brain nor a human body (or any type of animalistic form, for that matter). Jesus taught as much, saying God is SPIRIT and we must appreciate and connect with God through our Spirit -- not through our mind (John 4:24).
I suggest that God does not 'think' as you and I think. Rather, God's Intelligence System functions more like the
heart than the mind. The heart doesn't think, it simply knows. It is holistic in nature. It does not operate in a logical, sequential manner.
This would imply that our true identity is spiritual -- that we were created in the image of God with heart-intelligence. And later on ... God created the human body ... that thinks.
