Understanding God?
My friend Aj's most recent post inspired me, so I thought I would share my comment on his blog here as well.
"Honesty is one of the best reasons to be in the dog house. I have been in the dog house for a lot less valuable things (like just being dumb). =)
I think your thought is a good one. As much time as we try to understand the opposite sex, who we can see, hear, touch, smell, etc. How much more mysterious God is who we can't see, hear, touch, smell, etc.
What a beautiful thing it is to love (God or the opposite sex) with out understanding, or needing to define. But to trust, honor, and have relationship with. Let's let mysteries be mysterious, and celebrate the beauty of relationships, and a love that doesn't always need to understand."

Sadly, honesty is a quality that is hard to find in people these days.
In the same way that John's gospel doesn't claim to have everything Jesus said or did, I tend to think that our entire Bible, which includes millenia of history of God's working in people's lives, cannot even come close to containing God. I think Paul's word, "indrescribable," talking about Jesus, is one of the best boxes for God yet
