Not by our standards. Consider that perfect order would require nothingness, but God as one with infinity defines all things being possible. Even the limits of our Big Bang still do not encompass the reach of infinity. That love is above order dictates logic is a symptom not a purpose. It's logical to top your gas in winter, but love let's you fill 3/4 and give a few bucks to the needy. :wink:

Isaiah 55:8-9: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."(ESV)

Isaiah 55:8-9:"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are..."

In everything we do we apply some logics to derive or arrive at expected inferences. And God being the Master Planner,Craftsman,Potter..has set,laid down rules or logics as it were. But its beautiful! As co-heirs with Christ,He says in John 15:15 "Henceforth I call you not servants;for the servant knoweth not what his master doeth:but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known to you." And 1st Cor 2:10-12 buttresses "But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit:for the Spirit searcheth all things,yea,the deep things of God.
11: For what man knoweth the things of a man,save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man,but the Spirit of God.
12: Now we have received,not the spirit of the world,but the Spirit which is of God;that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God."

"Does God have to be...logical"?


He is.


"Great is the LORD,
and greatly to be praised;
and his greatness is unsearchable."
Psalm 145:3


His logic is past finding out.

"O the depth of the riches
both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
how unsearchable are his judgments,
and his ways past finding out!"
Romans 11:33



Especially when I consider that...

"Unto me,
who am less than the least of all saints,
is this grace given,
that I should preach among the Gentiles
the unsearchable riches of Christ;"
Ephesians 3:8
