Are you in a position to put limitations on what a man, united with God the Father in heaven and Jesus Christ, can do by the power of Jesus Christ?

Well, this is an irrational faith. I can imagine all sorts of things based on this "no limits" theory, like they are sitting around eating peanut butter sandwiches or off creating new worlds populated with Smurfs. But of course I have nothing to back that up except, perhaps, what I would like to believe is happening.

I fail to see how it is irrational. God exists outside of time and therefore heaven, a unity with the Holy Trinity, must also exist in this extemporal realm. This should be a given as it is the faith of all Christians that Jesus always existed, even prior to His conception. Take Moses, for example. Moses died and was buried prior to Christ's resurrection and so had not yet entered into heaven. And yet, during the transfiguration, Moses is able to present himself before Jesus in a physical form and talk with him. How can Moses do this if he is both a) dead and b) not resurrected yet?

God transcends time.

You can call such faith "irrational" all you want, but it is clearly evident in Scripture.
