There is a difference between seeing God's mysterious ways as illogical versus nonlinear. Illogical implies incoherence due to a fundamental contradiction. Nonlinear gives room for the possibility of coherence being revealed in a nonsequential manner.
Story lovers rightly complain at a narrative that is finished but illogical in its fundamentally incoherent storyline. On the other hand, they experience narrative excitement in being delightfully outsmarted by the author when a story is finished with a plot twist that restores coherence in a satisfying nonlinear sequence.
