Last week, my wife was telling me about a conversation she had. The person she was talking to dismissed her side of the discussion by saying, "You can't put God in a box."
I have always been bothered by this statement. The Stand To Reason blog posted about the same "God in a box" statement here.
So what do you think? "God in a box", is it a valid argument or a last ditch argument for someone who has no Biblical support?

As the article said, "It's a way of dismissing someone's reasons without saying why they're wrong." I am fine with scripture being used to support a position. That is not what was done.
The discussion Kelly had was not my really my focus, but the reasoning of "you can't put God in a box." It is used when someone has no Biblical support for their position. It is almost a throw away statement that is usually said with an air of authority. Like it is an awful thing to “put God in a box.”
God by His very nature is in a box. He also at times throughout history has voluntarily put Himself in a box (after the flood, salvation, Abraham’s covenant, etc.).
