All logical systems rest on their base assumptions, if one of those base assumptions is not true, then the logic can be internally consistent but flawed.

Absolutely! That's why it is so important to have the immovable, moral foundation of Scripture, and not the shifting sand of tradition, or philosophies of men.

Within the world created for us, there are certain truths outside of the Bible. The best example is mathematics. That's why I used the example that, "Even God can't make 1 + 1 equal 3". The fact that 1 + 1 = 2 is irrefutable truth, and hence God cannot change it.

Except that God is 1+1+1=1. God is God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (OK that is a bit of a cheap shot, but a great example on the limits of logic).
