God is.
I think perhaps that is the most true thing I can say. As soon as I extend the sentence, it becomes less true, whether because I use a false noun or adjective, or simply because whatever word I put in that place can never fully encompass all that is god.
I am what I am.
The god of Moses chose no name, but claimed to be being itself--life, breath, being. To be--that verb which can't fully be described--is to be in the presence of god. God is.

Hmm, after trying to explain stative verbs to my students, I realized just 'being' is a very difficult concept to describe. The verb that cannot be fully explained - I never made that connection to God in such a way before.
