The Problem of Defining God

It is difficult to engage God with our minds unless we establish some framework for conceiving of Him or understanding Him. The problem, however, with trying to understand God is that He is beyond our understanding. As a result, any way we conceive of Him will of necessity limit our understanding of who He is to our definition, even though He is far greater than any definition. Perhaps that is why in the Old Testament He gave the enigmatic answer for who He is: "I AM." Anything else would have placed an artificial limitation on who He is.
