Those are great questions, unfortunately, I am not the one best equipped to tackle your objections.
However I do recommend this book to help answer your questions
"Is God a Moral Monster" by Paul Copan

I'm saying that his character/nature is the perfect moral standard and his commands align with his character/nature.
I believe that He is the beginning and there is nothing beyond Him......I'm not a believer in this moral platonism stuff where there are abstract objects (morals being one of them) floating about (I know that's oversimplified).
