We are told the bible is the word of God. That it was divine revelation that inspired men to write down what God had to say to us. God very clearly has thoughts. We are told he has a plan and a will of his own and how we fit into that plan. He has very specific rules for us to follow... etc. God has thoughts is my point.
With all that in mind (no pun intended), I have to ask what I think is a pretty obvious question.
Where are these thoughts coming from?
He very clearly has a mind with thoughts, intentions and desires, much like how we do... but we explain the mind as coming from the processes of the brain.
Where's God's brain? Does he even have one, and if he doesn't, why do we?
I believe the NT scriptures reference the Spirit of God as being what knows the thoughts of God, and that those thoughts are then made known to humans via the Holy Spirit (not sure if Spirit of God and Holy Spirit are one and the same scripturally speaking, I'm assuming they are).
Now, I don't know if that's implying that the Holy Spirit IS the mind of God ... as in, "Wherever the Holy Spirit is, there is the mind of God. It's not in a brain, it's wherever-that-Spirit-is" or not. If so, then perhaps that is the answer scripturally speaking: the mind of God is found wherever the Holy Spirit is. The Holy Spirit being the "brain" as it were. Whatever that means.
Along the same lines as what you've pointed out, the scriptures indicate God has a heart as well (or at least Yahweh/Elohim/etc does, I'm drawing a blank at referencing a NT scripture on the "heart of God" at this moment. I may be missing an obvious one). Does this "heart" circulate blood lol ? If so, in what body lol ? There are branches of Christianity that believe God was once a mortal human I believe (Mormonism).
This is probably one of the more interesting theories I've come across, which is essentially a time-travel plot: Jesus is actually the origin point for "God". The reason this universe exists in it's current state, is because it's the one that God was born in, via Jesus. Jesus is "God", just not *yet*. He hasn't evolved into that state fully yet. It "had to exist" in order to facilitate the creation of God directly. Once Jesus died, he transcended and resurected, by way of a time paradox lol. He should technically not exist, yet does, and the death and resurection are an example of the time paradox at work. He is evolving in time to become what he will eventually be: God all in all, able to manipulate time and space, etc. So linearly speaking, the creation of the universe and God happened not in the past, but the future ... Jesus' future. It seems like our past, but it's Jesus' future, according to his own timeline. Once it's all said and done, the universe gets closed up, the time paradox sealed, and "eternity" can now exist as "God" has become all that God is supposed to become, and can now effectively end the time loop and paradox, creating something "new" from what is left.
IOW ... everything concerning God started with Jesus. Thus the "brain of God" was at one time Jesus' brain, etc. I can't remember all the details of the theory, but I thought it was rather fascinating ... an interesting story in the hands of the right person
