If a person's concept of God requires that He comply with his own sense of time, space, matter/energy, physical laws and the laws of logic — then he would have a very reduced concept of God, a small 'god' of his own imagination, a false god his mortal mind could comprehend.

In short, this person would know nothing about God as He IS, I AM THAT AM. Human categories of logic and reason cannot even address I AM THAT AM in His unimaginable immensity, let alone taxonomically/linguistically classify Him in ways that can be studied by the scientific method.

It is so interesting that you suggest human cognition is limited to four dimensions, "intentionally so." That is a pregnant thought....

Thank you ever so much, dearest sister in Christ for this, one-among-many-other splendid essay/posts that I read from you today!

So very true!

Thank you so much for your insights, dearest sister in Christ, and thank you for your encouragements!

well put, though (playing Devil's advocate again), technically, none of us can know anything more than superficial about God. We can arrive at the idea of the Trinity by understanding what it is not. Correct?
