However, Philosophers such as Philo took a different view. They implied that we could never know God at all because he is completely incomprehensible. Where does the truth lie?
The Bible frankly acknowledges that there are some things about God that are difficult for humans to understand. For example, the length of the Creator's existence, the brilliance of his mind, and the depths of his wisdom cannot be measured, quantified, or fathomed. They simply exceed human comprehension. However, those aspects of God present no obstacle to our getting to know him. In fact, meditating on those very things can help us to "draw close to God." (James 4:8) Let us consider a few examples of such incomprehensible things. Then we will look at aspects of God we really grasp.
