Lack of education on logic the problem

Somebody's trying to pick a fight...:laugh:

 

I think you are actually being kind in your assessment. There are these days a general lack of logic and consistency in the interpretation of the Scriptures. The trend these days is the make the Bible fit the theology and if that isn't possible, insist that the theology is right anyway. No longer is there a baseline for the faith sorry to say.

 

No doubt about it. And with an intro like that, who wouldn't want to engage him in conversation?

He could start by logically explaining how God preordains everything but is not the author of sin.* Using logic.



*Not my theology, but I presume it is a central tenet of most flavors of Calvinism.

 

With all this talk of logic, I'm wondering if the Vulcan's are invading soon?

 

Got a match? :laugh:

 

been waiting for the answer to this for 10 years.

I'll counter that a lack of faith, not education is the biggest problem on the bb. When someone has all the education in the world and can figure out everything on their own...then there is a problem.

In addition, if everything has been determined, it includes the 'illogic' of the bb members, hence even their views and opinions must be logical.

 

I like this from the Holy Bible:

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.

3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. --Hebrews 11:1-3

 

Yes, you keep banging on about this but I don't see anyone saying anything like you are alleging. Hence my strawman image earlier in the thread. In essence you are accusing people on BB of doing something that no one has done. Give it a rest.

 

No quote will be forthcoming to support this complete fiction Smearing others is not logic, and the smear is the most common form of defense of Calvinism.

Logic applies to God. When someone says something inconsistent with attributes of God, then that statement about God is irrational. So my view is the opposite of what was said by the Calvinist, who simply misrepresents others and avoids logical arguments by using logical fallacies.

I believe theology must be logical, i.e. make sense, and those who propound the pig in poke theology of "God's ways are higher than our own" are simply telling us to accept what is inconsistent with scripture.

 

How? The Bible clearly said Christ (100% God) didn't know something. I know you will counter that it was his humanity that didn't know, but that is false as we cannot separated His deity from His humanity. This thinking was a HUGE error in the early church.

Now what? We accept it on faith...not illogical faith...just faith the His ways and understanding awesomely trumps ours.

 

You said:

Faith is not some stupid decision whereby some person not utilizing intectual facilities just believes against all reason.

I don't see anyone in that thread saying that.


You said:

They were arguing that God is not logical and therefore their theology concerning him does not have to be logical.

I don't see anyone in that thread saying God is not logical. I did see people saying things like, "it's not humanly logical for a person to be fully human and fully God" or "it's not humanly logical for a rod of wood to turn into a snake".

I think you are seeing the words that you want to see and not what is actually written.
