Excellent. We "know" a great deal about God in terms of our own self knowledge and perception of creation. Even so, God knows each one of us intimately, but we still lack an intimate knowledge of our creator. This lack of intimacy creates a number of relational issues for humans - and makes discussing God and His nature rather difficult.
Faith (our hope, trust and confidence) in the revealed creator is the starting point in establishing a viable relationship with Him - and in this process, we can begin to discover more about the very nature of God, the who and what He truly is - that transcends our ability to comprehend Him without the use of anthropomorphic symbols.
So, cneasttx has brought us to the point of acknowledging two things concerning our discussing God: (1) We must know something about Him and (2) We must have (a measure of) faith in Him.
What then would be a good next step in being able to define (discuss) God? Or, what are some of the things that hinder such discussions?
