Before we continue this, perhaps we should define "incomprehensible" just so we all know.what we're talking about. I looked up the definition on several sources, and there isn't much variation...so I'll give you this one from the free dictionary.
a. Difficult or impossible to understand or comprehend; unintelligible: incomprehensible jargon.
b. Impossible to know or fathom: incomprehensible mysteries.
If something is incomprehensible, that's really all we can know about it for sure. If you say god is incomprehensible, then anything else you claim about that god is suspect. After all, how can you know about god if he is incomprehensible? If you want someone to accept that notion, you're basically telling them that any further attempts to understand god are worthless...as are any further claims about him. The only question now is, how do you know? How can you know god is incomprehensible?
With many christians this is how it goes:
God is incomprehensible when trying to explain bad things that happen. When good things happen, God is easy to understand. This makes it easy to avoid explanation for the reality in the world.
