God is a rational Being

And His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts! So, is God subject to logic of Creation or is he outside of the laws of this world?

Have you ever looked at the world around you and the sky above? Does any of that make "sense" to you? Is it rational to have billions of galaxies spinning in endless vacuum?

We don't know if God thinks. We don't know how God designs and creates. Whatever it is, it's not our reason for sure. It's not our logic. God is not bound by created relationships of the physical world.

We know God through faith, not through reason. God is a Mystery that is not ours to solve. God gave us the ability to know love and mercy and justice -- things you cannot find in nature, or logically arrive at.

Agree entirely! We can only know of Him, we can't know entirely. It seems as though we're not in disagreement about the big things, we just don't agree on the small things.

God is not subject to anything we can comprehend. Only His own Being must He not contradict.

Yes. Some. Why not?
