Law 1: Identity law
Law 2: Non-contradiction
Law 3: Excluded middle
Identity – 1Truth is 2absolute – untruth is absolute. 3Neither can be the other. Therefore, non-contradiction is “neither can be the other.” So, all three are absolutes. Human Logic is based on reality – patterned after reality.
“God, our Creator, gave us truth. We added untruth.”
The principles of logic reflect God. Creation is a reflection of God. God’s creation reflects and demonstrates logic. We have two realities: 1physical and 2spiritual. Human thought – the inhale of knowledge and speech, and the exhale of knowledge – is grounded in God and is God’s work. Therefore, logic is not arbitrary.
Wisdom is “the metabolism of knowledge, followed by logical application.” Therefore, the basic difference between the fool and the wise person is in the attitude and application, not necessarily intelligence.
The wise accept counsel, the fool rejects it.
The wise easily enslaves the fool
because the fool scoffs at wisdom
and seeks their own way.
Do not despise correction or proper authority. Do not seek counsel among peers, for they are no wiser than you. Seek wisdom from seasoned, life-experienced elders, for they are full of insight. Listen to them… while you can.
