Supernatural

What does it mean to be supernatural? If something does or can interact with something or someone in this system, is it truly supernatural? If by making contact with a system can that phenomenon remain outside of, or 'super' of that system? Is God supernatural? Does He exist outside of this system? If He interacts with this system does He become part of this system? If He interacts with this system does His system become continous with this system? How about a one-way flow valve that allows influence into this system. Could it be a controlled interaction such that it flows one-way? He may interact in this system but this system is blocked from interacting back?

What about prayer from this system to His system?

Hence the argument for the realm of God's existence being in the 4th dimension- a dimension of time??? Having spent a great deal of time interacting between our world and the 2D world I would assume that a similar relationship between God and our world and Mario and myself is conceptually plausible.

On your question of the location of his existense and his relationship with our system, or rather, the relationship between his system and ours and how this affects His character; is it feasible that our system, as in this point of time, is encompassed in His eternal realm? Thereby, God's "supernal nature" is not in question in his interactions with his creations, but rather, we are brought up or this two-way flow valve is opened to his higher plane of existence in those moments of contact between dimensions. In this argument God's system encompasses ours and is not separate from it.

Also, in this arguement, His mastery of a 4th dimension would make His omni- characteristics much more easily comprehensible.
