Is logic not allowed in Christianity?

Question

I am just wondering since none of them seem to use it.

Answer 1

christianity is a strange cult, they believe in a god that needed blood...the blood of christ to make it all okay...not very bright people.....just humor them as we all do...its like having to hear the slow kid at school stand up and read!!!

Answer 2

How can a question such as yours be valid? Since you do not provide a basis for this supposed lack of logic, there is nothing to be addressed... I guess I did just waste my time...Oh well we wil see how you choose to address this in an update.

Peace

Answer 3

would you like to hear some logic? email me and we'll talk.

logic and the belief in God go hand in hand. His existence is logical. It may not make sense to you cause your logic is all that you want. cause any logic other than yours that threatens your ability to choose what is right and wrong for yourself is ruled out as unreasonable.

Answer 4

Maybe you just have not been exposed to the right Christians.

Dr. Francis S. Collins is Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute at the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. He currently leads the Human Genome Project, directed at mapping and sequencing all of human DNA, and determining aspects of its function. His previous research has identified the genes responsible for cystic fibrosis, neurofibromatosis, Huntington's disease and Hutchison-Gilford progeria syndrome. He is a member of the Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences. For the rest of his credentials, click on the link here: http://www.genome.gov/10000980. Collins spoke with Bob Abernethy of PBS, posted online at http://www.pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/transcripts/collins.html, in which he summaries the compatability of fact and faith thusly:

"I think there's a common assumption that you cannot both be a rigorous, show-me-the-data scientist and a person who believes in a personal God. I would like to say that from my perspective that assumption is incorrect; that, in fact, these two areas are entirely compatible and not only can exist within the same person, but can exist in a very synthetic way, and not in a compartmentalized way. I have no reason to see a discordance between what I know as a scientist who spends all day studying the genome of humans and what I believe as somebody who pays a lot of attention to what the Bible has taught me about God and about Jesus Christ. Those are entirely compatible views.

"Science is the way -- a powerful way, indeed -- to study the natural world. Science is not particularly effective -- in fact, it's rather ineffective -- in making commentary about the supernatural world. Both worlds, for me, are quite real and quite important. They are investigated in different ways. They coexist. They illuminate each other. And it is a great joy to be in a position of being able to bring both of those points of view to bear in any given day of the week. The notion that you have to sort of choose one or the other is a terrible myth that has been put forward, and which many people have bought into without really having a chance to examine the evidence. I came to my faith not, actually, in a circumstance where it was drummed into me as a child, which people tend to assume of any scientist who still has a personal faith in God; but actually by a series of compelling, logical arguments, many of them put forward by C. S. Lewis, that got me to the precipice of saying, 'Faith is actually plausible.' You still have to make that step. You will still have to decide for yourself whether to believe. But you can get very close to that by intellect alone."

Answer 5

They are afraid to use logic!!! That's why they don't even look at evidence their religion is illogical. They know it, they just blindly go and hope they're right....

Answer 6

"Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed. Faith must trample underfoot all reason, sense, and understanding, and whatever it sees must be put out of sight and ... know nothing but the word of God." Martin Luther

"Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has: it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but--more frequently than not --struggles against the Divine Word...." Martin Luther

Answer 7

Gospel of Biff 6.34.76.1.5 78-79

"Though shalt not use logic, or
thou shalt be burned to death in eternal hellfire"

Answer 8

I am a Gnostic Christian and I use logic.

Answer 9

Not that it is not allowed but Christianity challenge the human minds.....

Answer 10

good one. i think they think god is all about rules and if there's no logic, so be it, he is god, ours is not to question why. i think there are no rules and we're making them up as we go along.
