> Nothing true can be said about God from a posture of defense.

This is a self-defeating statement. The statement itself is a claim about God. If it is true, then it contradicts itself because it asserts a truth about God (namely, that no truths can be defended about Him). This undermines its own premise.

No, it's a second-order statement, a statement about first-order statements. It's not subject to itself.
