Irrational, morality is not necessarily from God, in as He dictates rules He made up for people to live by. In actuality morality is determined because who God is. God says we are to be holy as He is holy, this means we are to live our lives by who God is. God says we are to separate ourselves from the world, He means we are to avoid what the world believes, that morality is subjective and we can live as we see fit. This is why God gave us His word so that we could come to belief in Him and search out who He is in a relationship with Him through Christ. This is a simple way to explain what Christians understand or at least most of us, but to go into it deeply would mean a Bible study which most here would ignore.

Yes, you believe morality is rooted in his nature. But do you have a clear, less vague, answer to my OP question?
The Bible, by the way, surely does not tell you everything you need to know about God's morality.
