God is subject to lower laws separate from himself.
Thats the conclusion that many theists have been incapable of accepting. Theism had been about hierarchy at the expense of objective morality.
The dilemma exposes the fallacy of appeal to authority that makes God as the foundation of morality as logically absurd. The appeal to authority (God said so) leads to the special pleading fallacy (God is a special exemption) which makes deep understanding of the Bible as logically impossible and tends to degenerate into superficial literalism of religious fundamentalism that lacks morality as an appeal to ignorance (A representative of God said so and he doesnt know either and appealed to blind faith.)
Fundamentally morality is nonsense if theism were taken as moral leadership and ultimately would lead to nihilistic moral tyranny with no end.
The only logical conclusion is that true morality is lower than God's ability to see because of his light. That morality is truth beyond his natural grasp to just know. Or if he does know, its beyond his ability to carry it out without help of others who understand morality and have a niche equal to God's, otherwise hierarchy would make morality pragmatically and logically impossible even if God exists as a morally perfect being.
