Christians: is faith superior to logic?

Question

if so, surely you pray instead of go to the doctor upon learning of a life-threatening illness.

Or is it that you are fine with logic, as long as it's not applied to your God Delusion?

Answer 1

Sorry, no logic allowed.

It gets in the way, if you know what I mean.

Love and blessings Don

Answer 2

Every house is built by someone, is that the logic you cannot stomach. Or, since every computer program takes hours and hours to debug and to write, how long did it take God to write our much more complex DNA cellular physical reality program?

Is that the kind of questions you call delusion? or is it the one who believes that leaving building bricks in the yard at night will produce a house by itself in the morning that is delusional? even if the 'morning' might be a few 10,000 years in the future.

Perhaps you need to study logic, math, etc. Have you ever seen magnetism? gravity? or have you just seen the results? Do you believe that these exist even though you cannot see them?

Then you are just as delusional as those that see the wonderful ecosystems that worked perfectly for millennia and believe that these came to be by someone making them.

Did you know that the apostle Luke was a doctor. The Bible never told anyone not to seek medical treatment. In fact, we are shown that God doesn't help us if we don't do what we can to solve a problem ourselves.

After all, most Christians work don't they? Or do we stand with our hands out, faces turned toward heaven, mouthes open so that God can make food fall into our mouthes after having cried, God give us food!

Your kind of shallow thinking and tunnel vision is typical of self-centered egotistical minded individuals.

Answer 3

Faith is by far superior to logic. Faith means you trust God. Logic is something that "seems to be true but actually changes over time." And I would pray to God before I went to a doctor no matter what kind of illness I have - wouldn't you?

Answer 4

Afghanistan under the Taliban was a place where faith replaced logic. I think a lot of Americans secretly want the same thing.

Answer 5

Apples and oranges. Faith and logic can co-exist but one has nothing to do with the other.

Logic is necessary for our human function, faith is necessary for our spiritual function.

Answer 6

What does logic or faith have to do with going to the doctor? Obviously you are NOT logical. Your question makes no sense. Faith is superior. It is our brains that prevent us from using our faith, my point taken by your "logic" question.

Answer 7

I am a Christian, and when faced with any illness, I pray and go to the doctor. Then afterwards, I pray to God and thank him for creating somebody as intelligent and compasionate as my doctor to help me in my time of need.

Someday you will know the truth, no human has ever escaped death.......then you can ask your creator all these questions

Answer 8

My faith is far more superior to my logic. There are tons and tons of things/stuff in the bible or just life it self that I do not understand. Anyone can try but there are just things that most of will never understand till we get to ask in heaven, which is what I believe. I would be the last one to ever try to make sense of some things in life. Sometimes, you just have to have trust,,,,,,,,,,,the same way you trusted you parents as you were growing up.

Answer 9

I don't think you can compare the two. Only God is superior.

Answer 10

No. I'd go the other way around, actually, in most circumstances. But they do approach two different parts of Creation.

Answer 11

Believers, I must say to you THAT IF I COULD SECOND THAT QUESTION, I WOULD. Get exercise, eat healthy, talk about your problems, explore safe healthy sex more often, love yourself, you will end up loving others.
