Class #4: The Holy Scriptures are the inspired and inerrant Word of God. Written in human language, we use our human reason as a servant to determine what the Scriptural Text says. In our attempt to define God, we find that the rules of human logic, which works well for defining created things, does not help us in defining God.
First of all, God cannot be apprehended by our five senses. Second, we cannot divide God up into the sum of his intelligible parts. Third, God does not fit into a category, as He is unique! Deuteronomy 6:4, “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the Lord is one!”
God is incomprehensible and his substance is indivisible.
