Is Belief in God Rational
Is Belief in God Rational?
I believe that God is good, the one Supreme Being, the creator and the ruler of the universe and belief in God is rational. God to me is a higher power and an entity that is above and beyond the universe. He created the universe and the physical laws that govern it. “The Lord made the earth by his power; by his wisdom he created the world and stretched out the heavens.” (Jeremiah 51:15) The verse tells us that the earth was made by His power, established by His wisdom and that the heaven was made by His understanding
God is characterized as being a source of pure morality, the picture of utter goodness, as well as being all knowing and all powerful.

The God revealed in Scripture and worshipped by Christians is obviously mysterious and considered supernatural. That is, it is impossible for any of us to fully comprehend God due to limitations placed upon us by both our own limited, thinking and by God himself. Simply God transcends human comprehension. He is beyond human logic, beyond man's ability to reason and assume. God is considered supernatural, even though it is not used in the bible but it is an important function in defining some of the emphasis of scripture. For example, when God speaks to humans and when Jesus was raised from the
