Quotes about Incomprehensible

How great You are, My God! You are beyond my understanding! The number of Your years is past finding out.

But reason itself would suggest it would have to be greater than reality or it would not be reasonable.

Having refuted, then, as well as we could, every notion which might suggest that we were to think of God as in any degree corporeal, we go on to say that, according to strict truth, God is incomprehensible, and incapable of being measured.

You can't analyze God. He is too awesome, too big, too mysterious.

It is incomprehensible that God should exist, and it is incomprehensible that He should not exist; that the soul should be joined to the body, and that we should have no soul; that the world should be created, and that it should not be created .

God is able to do more than man can understand.

Indeed, God is great—beyond our knowledge; the number of His years is unsearchable.
