However when one studies the scriptures we find that God is limited to who He is, but then that covers a vastness that is inconceivable for man. ....

This is almost exactly Thomas Aquinas' first objection to the argument. God is inconceivable, and thus Anselm's original formulation - which was of the "God is necessary if conceivable" type - fails because the human mind cannot actually comprehend the concept of a "maximally great being".

No wasn't familiar with it, l try to keep my studies within the Bible and allow God's truth to guide my thoughts. Though I do read somethings pertain to the Bible specifically.
Like I said I'm surprised you did not comment on God being limitless yet having limits, just was surprised, no need to reply if you haven't anything to say.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
