Here's an interesting piece of theological reflection:
There is a storm cloud that darkens our discussion of God and language, and it is expressed by the formula...the finite is not capable of the infinite. The worry is that mere human words can neither contain nor convey the thought of God. It is best to respond to this concern not speculatively but historically. By nature, the finite is indeed incapable of receiving the infinite. The incarnation is conclusive evidence that, by grace, the finite is made capable of receiving the infinite. Better: God is capable of "receiving" (assuming) human nature. (Deus capax humanitas).
The incarnation thus serves as a check on our tendency to play divine transcendence off against human language. Furthermore, if the incarnate Son of God can speak our words, it follows that we have at least one instance of literal divine speech: When Jesus opens his mouth and speaks Scripture...barth's distinction evaporates." These words do not become but are the word of God. The line between divine and discourse is breached: the infinite intones.
