you can't expect to understand God because he is past understanding. His truth is going to defy all logic; that's why the bible says you have to have faith.

I disagree to an extent.

Yes, God is just so huge--which isn't even doing him justice--out minds can't completely comprehend him.

However, God is a good teacher, and the mark of a good teacher is a person who can help others understand him. Thus, we can catch snippets of God form what he reveals to us.

Secondly, faith is limited. You need faith in some real object. If logic directly contradicts faith, then the faith must be re-examined. Some things might not be proven by logic, and be nonetheless true, but things proved false by logic are nonetheless false.
