It is a hard concept

We only understand enough to know we don't understand!

Nicholas of Cusa's writing I refered to is titled "Learned Ignorance". We reach the highest form of wisdom when we realize we don't understand God... I believe that the Eastern Christians here understand this IDEA better than us Western "rationalists".

If that is the extent of your understanding, then go back to your Bible and read it, jo kus. There's plenty to grasp.

"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ." -- 1 Peter 3:15-16

"And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:

For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist." -- Luke 21:13-15
