It seems to me that some mortals want to apply the laws of logic to God, e.g. the Law of Identity or the Law of the Excluded Middle --- as if God, the Creator of such laws, is restricted by His own Creation.

I think it's worth noting that when it really mattered He CHOSE to abide by the exact laws that He set for us.

He DID NOT need to become fully Man through the Incarnation.

He DID NOT have to suffer and die on His Cross.

He DID NOT have to be Resurrected and Ascend into Heaven.

He could have saved mankind WITHOUT any of these things, He CHOSE not to.

He CHOSE to be fully Man and sacrifice Himself out of His love for us.

One of the most intriguing things about God is that He bases His right to rule us not on His power but on the fact that He keeps His promises. That is why "King of Kings and Lord of Lords" is written on Yeshua's thigh: In Abraham's day, one put one's hand under the thigh when swearing an oath.

God did not NEED to sacrifice His Son; He did so to reveal His love. He did not NEED to fulfill prophecy; He did so to prove His trustworthiness. He did not NEED to Incarnate and live perfectly under His own rules; He did so to demonstrate His righteousness. Therefore, we who know the Messiah Yeshua are no fools to love Him, trust in Him, and submit to His judgment.

Shalom.
