Therefore your god is finite and the thoughts are finite and if your god is as big and bad as you say, your god should know all it's thoughts.

God is the first cause. He doesn't traverse them, He encompasses, precedes and proceeds them. All an infinity is is the limited material reality failing to reach a perfect God. That's why they never end, because they are perpetually falling short of perfection. He is the endpoint; completion. All infinities have their end in God, because He is the sum, and is greater than the sum.
So, God isn't limited by these paradoxes. God can exist in time dimensions like we exist physical dimensions. God can have all thoughts, no thoughts, and everything inbetween, or throw everything away and create it anew. He isn't limited by these definitions.

What do you mean, handle? Allowing for free will means the possibility of some completely rejecting God. That doesn't suggest at all that Adam and Eve couldn't handle obeying one rule.
