[Kolokotronis]

Your comment struck me as odd also, A. Here is a more modern expression of the same concept as Kosta alludes to from Met. Hierotheos of Nafpaktos:

"About God we can use both affirmative and negative expressions, because by the first His existence is affirmed, and by the second His transcendence is shown in relation to His created works. There is no likeness between uncreated and created, between God and His creatures. The being of God is simple, unknowable and inaccessible to man and altogether impossible to interpret, because it is beyond all affirmation and negation."

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't think that the Orthodox believed that God consisted of parts, but was simple.
