God is not limited by our intellect.

So can God both exist and not exist at the same time? Can God create Himself? Can God be perfectly good and entirely evil at the same time? Can God be limited by our intellect, and not limited by our intellect at the same time?

Anyone who claims that God is not limited by our intellect does not know what he is saying, since it makes all theology impossible, including the very statement that God is not limited by our intellect.

Now you are just being silly.

The statement "God is not limited by our intellect" means that we can not explain all of the mysteries of God. For example. I do not understand the mysteries of Communion.

1 Corinthians 11:27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord.

During communion, I eat bread and I eat the body of the Lord. How can it be both? His body is in, under, and with the bread. How can this be?

I guess if I was Pope, I could come up with a crazy explanation and then curse anyone who doesn't believe. But this is an example of God not being limited by our intellect. I don't understand it and that's OK. Jesus said this is My Body. Who am I to question? It is both.
