Um...
Are you about to try to contend that the second person of the godhead stopped being God while he was a man??
Are you about to purport that Jesus was not omnipotent while on earth??
That's a pretty serious error.
Lack of education on logic the problem

Man is still having trouble with the logic of his navel.
God is potter; man is clay. That is not logical.
God cannot be defined by the words of man. His ways are not ours.
Man has great difficulty with accountability. This shows up in his worldly endeavors as well as any spiritual inclinations he may have.
Man does not like to be accountable to anyone but himself--so he makes his own religion.
The population of this globe is approaching 7 billion. Most of this number are not Christian. Most of those in Christendom do not follow Christ. Apply logic. Aristotle could not figure it out. A little child can understand.
That is not logical either.
Even so, come Lord Jesus.

You want to see the definition of violating the law of non-contradiction, lets say God ordains whatsoever comes to pass but that does not make him the author of sin. Total irrational nonsense is the mainstay of Calvinism. Thus it is defended with smears, misrepresentations and absurdities. -
Luke thinks he can put God in his box and understand everything about him. He would be better off to simply trust what scripture says.
Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Jesus said he did not know the exact day and hour he would return. I simply believe what Jesus said, Luke has a problem believing Jesus's words. Shame.
Mar 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
Luke's problem is not with me, his problem is with the word of God. It is Jesus who said he did not know exactly when he would return, not me. If Luke believes that is illogical, then he believes Jesus said something illogical. -

Luke, there's nothing illogical by ITL stating he has a dorsal fin???
:confused:
Didn't you say logic = truth? -

do you put God in a box when you say he is holy?
No.
Neither do you put God in a box when you say he is logical. Why? Because all you are ultimately saying is that God is internally consistent which is the ESSENCE of honesty and trustworthiness.
You have a different God in your self-created theology. He is a God who can be less than God- he is a God who can STOP being God whenever he chooses. Your God is mutable, changeable.
You said that your God can lay aside his omniscience.
Then guess what. That means your God can lay aside his holiness, too.
You have put your God in a box and it is a terrible box.
The God of Scripture cannot lay aside his attributes. He is God, and all that that entails, all of the time.
That is not a box, Winman. -
Fortunately, that is not how it works. -
-
He may HAVE a dorsal fin for all you and I know. The little information he has provided does not enable us to utilize logic to prove the falseness of it.
As he provides more information we will probably be able to falsify his statement.
If a man says, "I put a few gumballs in my right pocket and a few in my left pocket so I now have a total of 6 gumballs in my pocket."
Can we apply logic to falsify his statement? Not with the little information he has given. There is nothing illogical about what he said.
But if we find out that his pockets were completely empty and that he put 2 gumballs in one pocket and three in the other, we can apply logic to falsify his claim that he has 6 gumballs in his two pockets. -
If God ordained that evil takes place, then evil men MUST do evil. They cannot refuse or repent from evil. Of course, in your system they cannot possibly will to do anything but evil, because God has ordained it. So, how can God not be the author of evil in your system? -
The second article is a common argument that apologists use to debate the likes of Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins and the late Christopher Hitchens.
Winman, webdog, etc... undermine one of, if not THE, greatest argument for the existence of God.
The fact that transcendent laws of logic exist and are invincible is unequivocal proof that God exists. -
-
Now, the scriptures say God cannot lie, so I believe God cannot lie. He put himself in that box, I simply believe it.
But you would argue with the Lord.
Jesus - But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
Luke - That cannot be true Jesus, that is illogical. You are God and you must know everything at all times.
Jesus- But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
Luke - No Lord, you are mistaken, let me correct you... :BangHead: -
You believe God has horns and eyeballs all over his head, right?
There is no greater ignorance when it comes to Scripture than to demand that everything in it be literal and that anyone who does not take it literally "argues with God." -
Here are two instances where Jesus, in the flesh, healed the sick from apparently miles away. He knew who they were and where they were at(omniscience), healed them that very moment(omnipotence), and by Him doing this, proved His omniprescence in that He healed them from afar off. Jesus in the flesh, was/is still God. -
______________ -
In those two passages I posted, I could see Jesus' omniscience(knowing who was sick and where they were), omniprescence and omnipotence(healing them from afar off), while He was in the flesh. There's nothing but logic flowing from those two passages in accordance to God's attributes of omnipotence,omniscience, and omniprescence.
