How did little old us ever take the measure of unimaginably stupendous God?

Christian theists, why is it necessary to use descriptors which apply to nothing else in describing your God. If so why say that God is immeasurable, eternal, omnipotent and omniscient? Do we actually possess the means to determine if any of these claims are true? No.
For Christians, it seems, God is not the primary object of belief. The thing they believe first and foremost is the bible. Back then, to the best of their abilities scribes described God once and for all. Since that time xtians have had the wagons circled defending and promoting that book as the absolute authority for knowing god. The mystery has been replaced with a book, the WORD. Of course, most of us here would agree that God and all that is said about gods are just words. But is there a mystery beyond the words or is it just words all the way down?
Does this resonate for any theists here? Do you admit that the mystery of God is first and foremost a mystery? Or do you feel the WORD is enough, that that is all that is required.
