I miss interpreted what you meant by logical fallacy and that is why I said I probably shouldn't have used the word logical. I know it takes a logical mind to read and to understand the literal, but it also takes a Spiritual mind like that of Christ to understand spiritual.Logical thinking is also of the Christian mind because God uses logic to communicate to us in Scripture. If Scripture wasn't logical, you wouldn't be able to read sentences, paragraphs and whole books of the Bible. It seems that you have a distorted understanding of the meaning of logical.'
What was Jesus view of logic and use of the mind? Matt 22:36-38 makes it as clear as crystal:
I am to love the Lord with all of my mind. FHG, it seems as though that is off your radar.

What you claim to be logical fallacies that I seem to be presenting are only fallacies to those who interpret scripture differently as we will never agree on all things of scripture, but have to draw our own understanding by how we study and by what spirit is teaching us.
There is nothing off my radar when it comes to loving the Lord and even my enemies for that matter. The mind is only part of what Jesus said in Matthew 22:37. Jesus said to love with all your heart, soul and mind. It's logical reasoning that we need to love one another, even those who persecute us as we are to love and pray for our enemies. Our logical mind says yes we need to love because God is love and that is His instruction for us to love, but it is through the Holy Spirit (the spiritual aspect of love) that teaches us how to love from our heart and soul and not only from the mind. there is the literal interpretation and also the spiritual interpretation.
