[.. It is even more sad to me when a Christian insists that God must be understandable to him. A Christian should know better than to think God could fit in a tidy little box (to use Quix's term.) ..]

I prefer to think of GOD(father, son, holy spirit) as my friend..
Separating GOD into the immutable is beyond my abilites..
As a child(a human child) God as a personality must be accessible to me..
Must be accessible for me to dare to access him as beneficial..
A child need not totally understand an adult.. to sit in his lap with no fear..

There is no possible way my grand children can understand me or what I am about..
They need only know me personally for I reduce myself TO THEM.. in the moment..

In that way I relate to God, my God.. For my god told me, I think, that he would be as real to me, as I am with him.. There is something extremely logical in that.. that trumps fully understanding everything about him..

My tidy box is as large as I am.. So also to every christian (and Jew too) I think.. is true.. One reason there are many denominations.. probably.. Some of my grand children want to be very close to me, others are happy with a more distant relationship in degrees..

My grand kids have taught me a lot.. about this subject..
