If you call subjective rules rules, we have a problem of communication.

As to the questions, you're ducking. On purpose, I assume.

But the question is serious. If as you claim God is subject to rules, they must have come from somewhere. Ducking it by saying you don't know obviously ends any chance of discussion of the subject. But the basic argument is that if God is all powerful, nobody can make rules for God because if someone or something did, that person or thing is more powerful than God, and therefore God really isn't God.

I know the Greek Gods had to obey rules, but they aren't God as most people in the world conceive him/her/it today.

So if that's as far as you will go, IMO you have made a statement that in internally inconsistent and then shrugging your shoulders and saying you can't know.

Which may satisfy you, but I don't think will satisfy many others here. Certainly not me.
