Maimonides said the only honest way to describe God is to list what God isn't

In The Guide for the Perplexed, the medieval rabbi and philosopher Maimonides argued that no positive human description, wise, powerful, even 'good,' can truthfully apply to God, since it would falsely reduce the divine to something comparable with created things. Instead, he said, we can only make progress through negation: God is not ignorant, not weak, not made of parts. Piling up enough denials, Maimonides argued, gets you closer to the truth than any list of praises ever could.
