You are welcome, GreenHornet. It’s not perfect by any means, but nowhere does Scripture state that we must perfectly understand God. We can’t, and that’s not the gospel message. Believing in who Jesus was on earth and His death, burial and resurrection are essential. It’s not necessary to our salvation to perfectly understand God’s nature. If someone is ever able to do that, I’d love to know. I’m sure my understanding differs from others’ but one is no more nor less saved by the difference so long as that person believes the gospel message and follows after Christ.
Blessings to you.

1Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. 2He came to Jesus at night and said, âRabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.â
3Jesus replied, âVery truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.a â
4âHow can someone be born when they are old?â Nicodemus asked. âSurely they cannot enter a second time into their motherâs womb to be born!â
5Jesus answered, âVery truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spiritb gives birth to spirit. 7You should not be surprised at my saying, âYouc must be born again.â 8The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.âd
9âHow can this be?â Nicodemus asked.
10âYou are Israelâs teacher,â said Jesus, âand do you not understand these things? 11Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. 12I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? 13No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heavenâthe Son of Man.e 14Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,f 15that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.âg
16For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of Godâs one and only Son. 19This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. (John 3:1-21)
