Can a Sane and Loving Creator Teach Us Absurdities?

 

Can a body present to our sight that which identifies it as being both a sphere and a cube at the very same moment that we are seeing it?  That is illogical, an absurd concept, and if it were so that various Bible writers had recorded that absurd concept as something enunciated by the Creator (Jehovah), then that alone should be sufficient evidence that the Bible contains error -- that it were not a book that presents to human eyes only statements that are true about the Creator.  Because we similarly find trinitarianism to be illogical (an absurd doctrine), then were the Bible to enshrine such an absurd doctrine, that alone should be sufficient reason for us to reject Biblical theology.  It is absurd doctrine that the Supreme Being could be a sane triunity (i.e., could be three real persons coevally subsisting in one Being/Mind); were even the Bible to enshrine such absurd doctrine, then still we could not believe it.  We then should also know that the Bible was not free from error.

All Biblical doctrines cannot be other than logically coherent, else we then have sufficient evidence that the Bible was not authored by a Creator who loves us. A loving Creator cannot teach us things that are logically incoherent. Apart from Biblical revelation, we know that a Supreme Being lives, that He is our Creator. We also know that He is a loving Creator, and that, too, is knowledge that we should still possess even were there no Bible. So, if, through the course of time, a Bible might have come along that would teach us absurdities, then were we to know it not to be a book authored by our loving Creator.
