Questioning God
Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable. How many hours are there in a mile? Is yellow square or round? Probably half the questions we ask--half our great theological and metaphysical problems--are like that. [...] We cannot understand. The best is perhaps what we understand least.
~C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed, (1961)

Once again Lewis opens a window on Christian mysticism. Is the Trinity 3 or 1? Maybe both, maybe neither. Given that we know we cannot get our heads around quantum concepts why should we be able to understand God at a similar level?
Best to just let faith paper over the gaps.
Works for me! :)
and for me too !
