“Logic is a large drawer, containing some useful instruments,

and many more that are superfluous. A wise man will look into

are really useful, and to admire the ingenuity with which those

that are not so, are assorted and arranged.”

When we accept the laws of logic, we are not accepting laws external to God to which he must be subject, but we are accepting laws of truth which are derived from God’s holy character ... The Bible as a book written in human language claims to speak the truth. If the word truth is not meaningless, it implies the laws of truth, that is, the laws of logic.
