Paul,

It has nothing to do with "man-centered arrogance", for I fully realize that I cannot resolve everything. But this is not due to the logic I use, (i.e. human logic), it is due to my sin. But you place the paradox, not in the sinful use of logic, but in the nature of the logic itself. According to you, the same logic that man is endowed with, the same logic that is part of the image of God in man, cannot resolve the clear teaching of scriptural doctrines without (to man) contradicting one another. This is unacceptable. The way I see it, if this is the case, either 1) scripture is not doing it's job or 2) the logic God gave man isn't doing it's job.

"To believe in the power of man in the work of regeneration is the great heresy of Rome, and from that error has come the ruin of the Church. Conversion proceeds from the grace of God alone, and the system which ascribes it partly to man and partly to God is worse than Pelagianism" (The Reformation in England (London, 1962), Vol. 1, p. 98)
