Shut up and read your bible. Logic is a tool of Satan.
Heathen.
-------------------------------------------------------
WOW just WOW and WOW skippy, how is it possible to read without a system of logic by which we can create meaningful language, using inferences based on context, syntax, etc...
This is just embarrassing, really. How can you hope to understand God's Will without logic? How could you follow God's commands?
How would you have learned how to speak, walk, or do ANYTHING without deductive and inductive reasoning?
Logic is not the tool of the devil. There is nothing logically inconsistent about God, and we can use logic to defend the faith in almost every circumstance. Using logic we can also explain why certain arguments are fruitless and a waste of time due to the inability to reach a conclusion.
Christ and the Apostles had to understand logic in order to witness to the Jews and later Pharisees. Without an understanding of logic, they wouldn't have even understood the questions, let alone how to answer them.
Don't embarrass yourself with such inane posts. Furthermore, your choice of language belies a lack of compassion and undermines your (apparently insincere) command for the author to read the Bible.
To see how our faith can be IMPROVED with logic, please see below:
--------------------------------------------------------
"The argument for divine atemporality from the doctrine of divine immutability is, indeed, an ingenious one. The logic goes as follows: Since the Bible teaches that God is immutable, it stands to reason that the only way that this idea of an unchangeable God can be maintained with any consistency is to view Him as timeless. For only a timeless being can be spared of the change that occurs from existing at one moment in time to another."
To answer the question, God exists external to time. Being omnipresent atemporally means that His status does not change, but rather that at all times He is as we know Him. His mind has "never" changed, but from our perspective, being subject to time, we see different aspects of Him on different occasions. As our relation to God changes with our understanding of Him, so too God's Will for us takes on new meanings, although His Will had not changed.
God's omnipotence is not in question in regards to changing history, as God knows History and has effected it to His Will as He sees fit. At times a great "unnatural" occurrence may shake our understanding of the way that life goes, and we attribute these to being miracles, but to God they are merely His Will the same as natural occurrences follow His Will. The "changes" are from our perspective only. God's "interference" in the "natural" world is not interference; His "changing" the course of history is infelicitous. The course of history is what it is, and it follows God's Will.
It seems your main contention is that God is not omnipotent because He cannot break His own Will. This is a logical inconsistency as it is not in God's essence to oppose Himself.
