Let me get this straight. You're claiming that God is unknowable because you don't have a @#$%ing clue what He's all about?
You've done an admirable job of demonstrating your own lack of repentence, but that only shows that God is unknown to some, not unknowable.

All it requires is that god is omnipotent.
All you're doing is showing that "omnipotence" isn't a very useful concept.
Can God make a rock so heavy that even He can't lift it?
Can God force us to have free will?
Can God be knowable and still be "super"? That's (part of) what the OP is asking.

What I'm trying to do is show that what is useless is trying to use logic to prove things about god.
Then you're wasting everybody's time. This thread is only about logic.

Strong's

My father gave me one of those about twenty years ago.
Are you familiar with e-Sword? You can download different versions of the Bible and search them quickly. You can also download an annotated KJV with Strong's built right into it.
By the way, Strong's will tell you where the same word is used, and you can learn something from the context. What it won't do is tell you what words "mean". Don't try to pull something like created-and-made-are-different using Strong's.
