When people say God is a figment of your imagination. Or when other religions make God out to be someone Who isn’t knowable, I simply say, “Read Exodus chapter 32”. Here you see God has emotions (just like us). He gets frustrated (just like us), and is able to listen to and relate to us. Does that sound like an unknowable God?
11 But Moses tried to pacify the Lord his God. “O Lord!” he said. “Why are You so angry with Your own people whom You brought from the land of Egypt with such great power and such a strong hand? 12 Why let the Egyptians say, ‘Their God rescued them with the evil intention of slaughtering them in the mountains and wiping them from the face of the earth’? Turn away from Your fierce anger. Change Your mind about this terrible disaster You have threatened against Your people! 13 Remember Your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You bound Yourself with an oath to them, saying, ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven. And I will give them all of this land that I have promised to your descendants, and they will possess it forever.’ ”14 So the Lord changed His mind about the terrible disaster He had threatened to bring on His people.
