It's hard to talk about something infinite in concrete terms.
Whatever we say about God, it is always going to be at least partially wrong, because God is infinite and we are finite. Our minds are finite, and language is how our minds apprehend the world around us. Language is even more finite than we are.
So allegory and analogy give us some linguistic wiggle-room, and allow us to get closer to the truth about God, closer than we can get with just straight syllogisms and declarative statements.
Read William Blake. He knew this very well and wrestled with language to try to make it describe infinite things.
