When I say that he cannot be understood, I do not mean that nothing can be understood about him; I mean one cannot understand the workings of His mind. One may understand certain truths about God, but to know the workings of His mind is completely beyond humankind. You know that he is above and beyond mankind simply because mankind does not and cannot understand him.

Using your own reasoning, then God must have the ability, since he can do anything, to prevent himself from lying. Obviously, this could go continously in a circle for a long time, so please refer to my previous statement; the workings of God's mind and the exact specifics of his omnipotence are unable to be understood by mankind.


Rian: Hurrah! Reinforcements!

Here is the way I took Anduril's point. You said your God is beyond our comprehension to understand, yet you then proceed to describe certain things about "him". Anything that doesn't jive with your concept is then "written off" because your God is too complicated to understand. Not to be rude, but this seems to be a bit of a "cop-out".
