Can A Perfect God Have Desires? ? Christian Theology
"There is nothing outside of Him to allow Him to be motivated
externally in the way described, and if there were, its value would be
something He decided, and so could add nothing to Him and provide
nothing for Him, but that which He decided it should have. Nothing can
give Him anything, because everything receives that which it is, from
Him. In this sense, any increase from outside is a self imposed
increase, and because God is the self arbiter of meaning and
significance, cannot ascribe to Him any lack, because it cannot fulfill
any need. But if He should choose to desire it, so be it. There is no
way to judge such a thing from outside of God Himself."

My comment was:
Concerning the Desires of God,I will express it this way:
There are stages in 'understanding', 'empathing', 'believing', 'knowing' and 'etc.ing' the Creation of God.
After having fought the major doubts, the minor doubts and after having sought for possible and maybe new doubts of famous doubters ('listening to the devil'), coming to kind of a 'total conviction' of Creation through 'God',
I have found one thing usefull to get more 'enrichment'.
The mathematical Set Theory.
Mathematics can be helpfull and give tools to reach out to fields that resist description through words (terms). That's Quantity.
Especially Set Theory can help to 'suppose', 'sense', 'feel', 'experience', .. (till now not known) qualities (entities?).
These qualities should be filtered, to come from the liveable, reachable, touchable world of human beings.
Otherwise you drift into phantasy or ideology or plain spiritism.
Just ONE consequence:
It leads to the personal installment of the so called 'fear of god', 'fear of the Lord'!
