If so this is a basic mistake many people make (like John Frame) in thinking men can know God in His divine essence. James Dolezel points this out (so far as Professor Frame is concerned) and I think Dr. Poythress probably thinks the same way. This is a basic denial of the WCF 2:1 and how God is “incomprehensible”. The problem I believe is a misunderstanding of the archetype ectype distinction. Of course we cannot not know God in His divine essence and can only apprehend God through the media He provides and that “media” is NOT God, in His divine essence.

“You don’t have to become like God to have communion with him.”
