What does it mean for God to be incomprehensible?
“God is incomprehensible” then amounts to the claim that human rationality fails in attempting to understand God. If so there is no sense in which a belief in the existence of God makes sense.
In what ways is God infinite?
Being truly infinite, God knows no restrictions of space, ability, or power. He is everywhere. There are no edges or limits to His presence, nor are there pockets where He is absent. Neither is there any place where God is not supreme, for He governs all.
Can one believe in God but not religion?

Can you find out the deep things of God?
“But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God” (1 Corinthians 2:10). The gospel (Christ and His salvific work) are “the deep things of God” which are now “revealed by God through His Spirit” to the people of faith.

What does the Bible say about the incomprehensible?
The Incomprehensibility of God. Scripture teaches that we can have a true and personal knowledge of God, but this does not mean we will ever understand him exhaustively. The Bible is clear that God is ultimately incomprehensible to us; that is, we can never fully comprehend his whole being.
Is God’s incomprehensibility the same as his knowability?
This means any dealing with the incomprehensibility of God must also deal with the knowability of God. Therefore we are now in a position to see something wonderful of God’s nature. His incomprehensibility flows from His transcendence over us, while His knowability flows from His immanence.
Is it possible to know God completely?
The Knowability of God The incomprehensibility of God could lead to despair or apathy in the quest to know God, but the Bible also teaches that God is knowable. While God can never be exhaustively understood, he can be known truly, personally, and sufficiently.
