1, if heaven and earth are the same...(not higher or lower)
2. if god is un-understandable, is he completly un-understandable? if so whats the advantage in attempting to make any statements about god. if ultimately he is not understandable. saying we can not understand god seems to turn god into nonsense, something we can't have specifics about, only a general idea that has nothing to say.
