Problem of Divine Freedom

[Esquilax]

I don't think you've even begun to explore this idea in the other thread. The greek 'logos' and it's meaning when related to creation. It's quite a massive subject and to me, completely alienates the ordinary person when trying to comprehend biblical concepts. I think quoting it bare was incredibly insensitive.

Is that an illogical statement? I think you're a thousand miles from establishing that... and I make no judgement on what your educated opinion may be. Feel free to explain if you want to.

What I'm saying is, accepting the idea that god is constrained by what is logical, god still does a lot of things in the bible that, from a human perspective, are logically impossible. This indicates that logic, such as it is, contains components that are beyond the human spectrum of experience, that god is constrained by. Barring any method by which to determine what these divine laws of logic are, saying that god is constrained by logic is itself a meaningless statement, since a corollary of that is that there is an unknown number of additional tenets of logic beyond our understanding.

It's the same as when people appeal to god's mysterious ways as a means of excusing some action of his, this idea that he possesses an understanding beyond what we can comprehend. Only in this case, it's really the only way to make this statement about god and logic stick.
