Beware the concept of "contradiction" - Aristotle's Law of the Excluded Middle (either/or) - with reference to the Word of God. God's ways are not our ways, His thoughts are not our thoughts.

So beware of it and don't beware of it, at the same time and in the same sense. God ways are not our ways, and they are our ways, at the same time and in the same sense. God's thoughts are not our thoughts, and they are our thoughts, at the same time and in the same sense.

Good luck!

Aha, the above reveals why this sidebar with you seems to have no end.

Like space/time, causality, mathematical structures, every thing and every one - logic is part of the Creation - not a restriction on the Creator.

A thing is true because He says it.

We must believe Him unreservedly to follow Him. When Christ told Peter to come to Him across the water, while Peter believed everything was fine, but when he noticed the water, he sank.

me: But if the sheep hears and obeys the Shepherd's call - no matter how badly the pen might be built - he will be ok.

iscool: And who taught you that??? The author of the Bible or the leader of a religion???

The author of Scriptures taught me as He has taught you:

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. - I John 4:4-6
