God doesn't fit into our logic all of the time.

If M is the mother of P, and P is God, then M is the mother of God. If you deny that that conclusion follows, you are making a fundamental error of reasoning, not understanding the relation of propositions. The first two premises necessarily entail the third. Logic is never violated, just as 1+1 cannot equal 3.

If you think that we cannot use logic to do theology, then give one example of an exception or violation of logic.

It isn't as simple as that.

1)Other than direct creation, the beginning of every life is conception inside a mother's womb
2)God has no beginning
3)God was not conceived in a mother's womb

John 6 ... where 2 fish and 5 barley loaves ... became many more.

Also 1 (the Father) + 1 (the Son) + 1 (the Holy Ghost) = 1 (God)

It's not all about the numbers (or the words).
