“There you go again. Relying on human logic for doctrine. Its rampant in Catholic doctrine and doesnt work well.”
I am about to express some logical points. I hope you can handle it. We use logic all the time. We even use it when learning from scriptures. If you’re going to deny that you have used logic in learning from scriptures, then I (and I am betting everyone else) would have to consider you some sort of fool. The ability to reason is a gift from God, and there is no reason we shouldn’t use it. Now, everything I just said is perfectly logical. Are you going to disimiss is to remain logically consistent (oh, the irony)?
Matthew 5:22 Whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
I used to rely on logic in reading the scriptures...And like you, I was all over the place...
Then I got saved...I no longer use or need logic...
The scriptures are illogical...They don't make much sense to a person using man's logic...They are foolishness to the natural man...
That's why you guys have to throw out 90% of scripture and call it an allegory...you just don't get it...It doesn't compute to you guys...
