All good points. I mean by larger than logic is that God uses more than just logic in making a choice. He will not be inconsistent. Also, man cannot judge like God, and when he thinks he can, this causes all kinds of problems.

Matt,

i’m pretty sure i agree with everything said here, but don’t you think the “God is larger than logic” idea can, itself, be abused? Don’t you think people can (and have) used that notion as a means to avoid very obvious conclusions or interpretations that are unfavorable or unpallettable to them?

Matthew, great post! I really appreciate your helping us have a better understanding of God’s nature. He truly is larger than logic only.
In my heart I have much to say about this, as the nature of God is very important to me. I believe, due to lack of knowledge of him, that we miss him, miss knowing the fullness of his nature and true character.
I appreciate you shining a light to help us see more clearly the amazing nature of God.

You have a great blog, thanks for sharing.

Hey, thanks for stopping by my blog. I’m jealous of you being in Colorado! I miss that place.
