Problem with all of that.... God isn't a 'being', and is never proposed to be that in our (mainstream Christian') theology.
Frods it feels like you're in a few knots here. The 2 statements above clearly contradict each other. If god exists and descibes himself as "I", then he is at least a mind (and I would argue a physical brain as well) but also a being capable of thought and action.

This is the first time I have heard god described as not a being. Despite being inconsistent with everything I have ever understood about christianity and I admit it could be my error. What was Jesus who clearly was a being? What is god?
