the Church went into pretty detailed description of the Triune God,

And how well does this detailed description work for you as far as helping "know exactly who we have that intimate relationship with, to know exaclty who that person is"?

I'd venture, not much. It's important for Church theology, but for the goal of knowledge sufficient for intimate relationship? I don't think so.

For me, ineffable means you're not going to get there in this manner -by detailed or exact definition, else God would be effable.

You mean how realistically does this description represent the ineffable God? Not very. But if you are willing to accept it in faith, then it's very detailed and deceptive. It makes you feel that you 'know' him.

Yup. That's why +Paul kept insisting on faith and the idea that one is saved by faith alone.
