Is using logic to answer spiritual matters like using a thermometer to change TV channels?

I agree with you.  You cannot use logic to figure out All Powerful Super Natural God.\nIsaiah 55:9 As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.\nBlessings:  Kaitlynn

There is an excellent book in Barnes and Noble\non The English Language. It refers not only to language but how thinking starts. My answer is "yes". Thinking is cultivated through relationships whether they are vocal or non-vocal (reading).\nOnce beliefs are established, changing a thinking style is almost impossible, unless the person reaches a place of desperation because they realize their thinking has ruined their life. Some people then go to God, some to therapists, some to friends.

Belief in a supernatural being is the easiest answer one can give for most of all unanswered questions raised by not knowing where we come from or where we are going to. Therefore, such belief is not explainable from a logic point of view.

No. All kinds of instruments unrelated to human perception register the assorted physical properties of the universe, like energy, radiation, etc.,.

Spirituality transcends reasoning. Hence the term "leap of faith"? So don't bother with semantics. You should be flattered there are people praying for you here, jim. I know I would if I were in your shoes. lol.

That's also known as "relativism" and it's circular logic(no logical conclusion)\n\nRead John 3:16 for my stance...

I believe the same methods used to prove physical phenomena can be used to study and document spiritual phenomena.  \n\nFor example, given the developments in nanotechnology and MRI imaging, it won't be long before science can detect, measure and prove the existence of or changes in human brain chemistry and spiritual energy, that occur in cases of demonic oppression and healing through spiritual treatment such as deliverance prayer.\n\nThe same way microscopes proved the existence of "invisible" viruses and bacteria that caused physical infection, I believe technology will be used to prove the existence of demonic energies that cause criminal, mental and physical addictions, as well as the power of prayer to cast out these "spiritual viruses" so that the human mind and spirit can be permanently healed.

Seriously...I would give up television and radio and start reading books on things like Sufism. Especially anything at all by Idries Shah...like learning how to learn...knowing how to know...things like that...His books while not instruction in Sufism, do give the reader a basic course in STRAIGHT THINKING...something almost no one is capable in America today..\n  Also...religion is debilitating..even if you think you are intelligent now, you can increase your capacities vastly by giving up religious and 'magical' thinking...it opens up your capacities...It's is all about capacity...IQ is short for...Intelligence QUOTIENT...think about this... think think THINK.....

Yes now test it validity and gain of the new knowledge. To know good and bad are of the same energy is to gain the knowledge to balance the 2 in your life in perfect order that neither will exist.

Logic is not used to ASCERTAIN truth, it is used to reason truth and prove it's fallability.\n\nThe aspect used to ASCERTAIN truth is the question.

yes, of course it is, it helps you with a logical line of thinking, this is osmething that can only come from mathematical logic.  This helps with critical thinking.  Also a basic understanding of math is important...taxes and bank statements are one think i would want to be able to figure out on my own...

There is a theory stating that the universe can be composed of information.  However, transmitting an object through a network or a cable means that you have to "transform" the object´s atomic structure and make it compatible with the format and bandwith of the means you are using to transmit it.  Theoretically it is possible (like in the movie "The fly"), but current science has still its limitations about it.

My thought is simply this,  use the scientific method to find out.  First suppose there might be a God and that He wants to commune with you.  Then set up an experiment that will have predictable results if performed reliably by anyone.  There is such an experiment set out in the Bible,  I did it in all sincerity of heart and the predicted results became evident.\n\nIf I thought you actually wanted to know and not sit and think (knowledge is circular) then I would explain it to you, but my assumption is thinking is your method of escape and I do not want to ruin it for you.\n\noh yeah let me point out you have your finger in your nose again

Yeah, I understood enough about what you want to know by the question. Big question to answer however, like weather our mind (heart) is very changeable like you see. For example as one of factord, word... it is EVENTUALLY regarded and understood by people who can understand or cannot understand without any tacts like Aboves. So if it's changeable or not, it depends on whom you talk through the words. And ...

very good!! you are starting to see the errors of your ways.  Fuzzy logic doesn't really hold true, that's why Science has to rule out the Bible as a credible source for anything.\n\nPEACE!  and have a GOOD day!

Do you know what it took to even ask the question? You have a physical machine called a body that is able to use its mind to ponder the question, relay visual information from a physical world of comparable low-tech computers through the optic nerve, into the brain, with the mind to comprehend the ramifications, then transfer that thought process to an incredibly complex systems of nerves, tendons, and touch to the fingers to type the letters. This then communicates a question of the soul. The soul is something that science cannot a.) explain and b.) create. It can only mimic with unsatisfactory results. That soul is concerned for the existence of an eternal destiny beyond time and space--that there is a world beyond the physical world we see in the here and now. The free-will to choose to believe or not believe. A being that can love, write poetry, paint or play works of incredible complexity and beauty. To smell, and taste, enjoy. So, like you, I set out on a path to find my Creator. It is obvious that He exists, but is He personal or an impersonal force? My answer came through the study of prophecy in the Bible. Like the DNA strand and life itself, it was hard to dispute the evidence. Now with the realization of the truth of the Bible, God made it clear that He was not only a personal God, but One who wanted to know ME, and that He knew everything about me--the number of every hair on my head (which lowers daily).
