What does it mean that God is unseen and incomprehensible?
Q166 · Faith in God and Our Knowledge of Him
God has no body that can be seen and touched. The prophets were unable to see God, except within the limits that He allowed, through a tiny part of splendor of His divine glory. He is not seen as He is, but He reveals what He will to each person — just enough for their edification. “No one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him” (Matt. 11:27).
