Featured Lack of education on logic the problem

Take this quote from the first page:

Or this one by Winman on page two:

Or this one on page 5 by webdog

Or this one from Alive in Christ on page 8:

Or this one from Skandelon on page 11:

Or this one by In the Light on the same page:

In Skan and ITL's posts they are asking whether these things are logical in an attempt to imply that you can't apply logic to God. That's the point of this thread- to show how poorly educated so many members of bb are concerning logic and how uncommitted they are to its authority over their theologies.


I could go on and on. But I think I made my point.

 

No it is not a contradiction.

I am mortal human flesh and everlasting spirit.

Those things do not contradict each other.

An object has takes up space in three dimensions at the same time: height, width and depth.

The fact that an object is high wide and deep is not contradictory.

There is nothing about the hypostatic union that violates any fundamental law of logic.

 

What does that have to do with anything- whether or not I can prove it?

Explain to me what are these "human" rules of logic and how they are different from divine laws of logic.

 

Different, sure.

But it does not violate the law of noncontradiction in the same way that the soul and flesh of man co-existing do not violate that law.

That is why my anecdote is applicable and did not require correction- unless the goal is perhaps an effort to "humble me" since you perceive I am trying to do that to others?

 

God did not become finite when he took on flesh.

Your premise is flawed. God became a man IN ADDITION to being God- not in contradistinction to being God.
While God he became man and while a man he was still God.


This is perfectly logical.

A tiger kills his first man. He is now a maneater. He is still as much tiger as he ever was- he simply, while remaining a tiger, IN ADDITION to being a tiger also became a man-eater.

This does not violate any law of logic.

The addition of something does not violate logic.

 

I am familiar with those paradoxes and I still think logic is of God.

God is internally consistent. That is where logic comes from.

It is what God is- internally consistent.

The reason anything means anything is because the source of EVERYTHING is God who is, always has been and must always be logical.

 

Why can't I say it?

Why do I have to have one to say it is not a contradiction.

I say a man can have both silver and gold in his safe at the same time. I don't have to have them to say he does.

No, no. You are the one who said that there are these mysterious "human laws of logic" in contradistinction from the divine laws of logic. I have never heard of these human laws. I would like to know what they are and how they differ from the divine ones.

 

Tensions do not equate violation of logic.

There is nothing about God inspiring men to write in their own style exactly what he wants to communicate that in any way violates any fundamental law of logic, for example.

What we have to e careful about doing is saying "I don't understand something therefore it is not logical."

I don't understand brain surgery but the things about it that I do know do not themselves violate logic.

 

You can say you have a dorsal fin. Yes. There is nothing illogical about that statement. Weird- yes. Unnatural- probably. Illogical- no.

I have stated that the three fundamental laws of logic come from God numerous times. They exist ONLY because God is internally consistent.

Now it's your turn. What are these man-made laws you talk about?

 

Certainly. WHILE walking the earth he was at the same time upholding all things by the word of his power.
