"The love of Christ in its sweetness, its fulness, its greatness, its faithfulness, passeth all human comprehension. Where shall language be found which shall describe His matchless, His unparalleled love towards the children of men? It is so vast and boundless that, as the swallow but skimmeth the water, and diveth not into its depths, so all descriptive words but touch the surface, while depths immeasurable lie beneath."
-Spurgeon

The unenlightened man can read this and assume that he stands as the exception. The man touched by the Spirit can read this and know that the word 'immeasurable' seems inadequate. No man can understand the complexities of a God who reigns in the realms of infinite. No man can look to the heavens and say that he has explained the mysteries of a Lord existing outside of time, space, or containment. Any man who dares to challenge the supremacy of God by claiming that he can even begin to fathom all the wonder that is God must be met with rebuke. He must be met with Scripture. He must be met with the heart and mind of Christ. The only understanding we achieve is a blessing of discernment from the Spirit. Any comprehension we obtain is by no means of our own. Furthermore, reducing God into a simple being so that we can understand Him is heretical idolatry and demands repentance.
