Christian Logic

Many people ask questions about things related to Christianity, and are frustrated with the answers. I think that a lot of the time, they get frustrated because they hope and expect to receive answers that will make logical sense to them. They don't get the answers they're looking for because, quite frankly, it doesn't work that way.

Christianity and what we believe is something that very seldom makes any logical sense. Or rather, it doesn't start with an intellectual understanding. When you accept something on an emotional and spiritual level, your intellectual mind will find ways of making what you believe seem completely rational and logical. Until you do, your mind will simply register those things as silly, laughable, and crazy.

A case in point is the common "Where did Cain find a wife?" question. There are lots of different theories, some of them conflicting. I personally have my own, but I won't bore you with the details.

To me, the answer to the question is ultimately irrelevant, but the thing is, anyone who subscribes to any particular theory automatically believes that their preferred explanation makes perfect logical sense. On the other hand, anyone who doesn't fundamentally believe in the basic tenets of Christianity automatically believes that we're all a bunch of looney toons.
