Don't tell me it doesn't follow, tack, it's your own business.
You told me that god could sin, and implored any christian that would be surprised by this to take it up with the authors. Well, you're the author. If all god has to do is create a human avatar for all his sinning needs, then it's not actually beyond his abilities to do so. Patently incogent by your own definitions? Yeah, ofc, but them's the breaks. Intentionally confusing ideology cobbled together by committees of people and cultures with their own idioms and their own purposes. If this were the only illogical thing you believed that god could do it breaks this whole logical limit crap all by it's onesies...but it isn't. You, and abrahamics throughout all of time... have thought, as you put it, that god could do whatever he willed to do.
Logical impossibility is an afterthought. God defines those borders as he wills them, as well. God does what it wants, how it wants, when it wants. No deal or state of affairs could be enforced between man and this entity. The christian religion was founded by the notion that god had abandoned a pact and made some new one. Tomorrow, god could abandon yours. Nothing you can do about it, may as well try to beat back leviathan.
I get that you trust that the other will hold up it's end..it would only be shittier if you didn't considering the price paid. That's good, as far as it goes, that's all you can do. Hope that you don't end up like any of gods other abandoned hopefuls, or the people he flat out tells you he doesn't know regardless of all their testifying and miracle working in his name. Here's what I wonder, though. Does that deal hinge on believing contradictory things, or is that elective?
