God as transcendent and unknowable

• To say that God is transcendent, means He is beyond the space-time universe. Those who believe this view God as not a thing or an object, God is not made out of anything and does not exist in anything
• So, God cannot exist in time or space, since to do so would limit him. God is eternal, He has no beginning or end
• Nothing created God, He is an omnipotent creator, but He did not create himself. God is his own existence and God's essence is to exist.
• Isiah 55:9 - 'For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are many ways higher than your ways and my thought than your thoughts'. 1 Corinthians 2:11 - '...No one comprehends the thoughts of God except the spirit of God'
• In reply to Moses, God says "I am who I am" Exodus 3:15. This shows God's transcendence and unknowability. God is the creator and cannot be categorised, known or understood by any other being
