For The Brainy Among Us . . .


Give me some feed back, please. What do you think of the following statement?
Analogia entis and analogia fedei must both entertain certain apophatic principles to weed out the unknowable to establish a balanced cataphatic theology. However, no matter how you slice it (mixing metaphors, I know) only God can invite us to stand in awe of His eternal selfhood and no analogy is sufficient for that. So, in a real sense all we can ever know about God is to know His self-disclosure in and through His eternal Word, or Logos, if you prefer. All theology can do is facilitate the journey, but it can never hand God to us on a platter and say, “There He is in all of His essence.” Words, as in theology, are only approximates; and all approximates are ontological orphans at best. 
Thanks!
