I have been following this thread somewhat, lurking in the shadows, hesitant to comment, because I can see where both sides of the argument are coming from. Not that I agree with both sides, but I do see where, and why, they take their stand in regards to what they see as logical and illogical. Here is how I see this.
Whenever you look at the things that God has done, such as turn Moses' staff into a serpent, Aaron's rod budding, Peter walking on the water, Peter looking at the crippled man at the gate called Beautiful, and telling him to rise up, etc. Now, to the natural man, all of these things look illogical. But, when you look at them through the spiritual eyes, eyes annointed by the Holy Ghost, you can see how logical they really are. Anything that God does, is logical, whether we see it as such, or not. What I am trying to say is that when God moves, and anoints anything, even an ass to talk, Jesus stating that if the people would hold their peace, the rocks would cry out, etc., that these things are logical, because God empowered them to do these things. I think this verse goes along with the theme of this thread:
1 Cor. 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
It is when we try to see with the wrong set of eyes, we tend to not see what God is really conveying to us through His written Word.
