Hi, Alexis... Welcome to the forum! The Bible teaches that God is a God of knowledge (1 Samuel 2:3, Romans 16:27). Being eternally omniscient (Psalm 139:1-6), God is not only the source of His own knowledge, He is also the source and determiner of ALL truth. Truth is true because God thinks it so. Since that which is not rational cannot be true (1 Timothy 6:20), God must therefore be rational; the laws of logic are the way He thinks. God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33), He is a rational being, the Lord God of truth (Psalm 31:5). God is the God of logic. John, contending with the Gnostic heresy, wrote in John 1:1 that Jesus Christ is called the 'Logic' of God: 'In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with God, and the Logos was God' (the English word 'logic' is derived from the Greek word Logos used in this verse). John 1:1 emphasized the rationality of God the Son. Logic is as eternal as God Himself because 'the Logos is God.' Thus, God and logic cannot be separated... logic is the characteristic of God's thinking. In Him, Doc |
