Here is another interesting question posed in the book, "Come Let Us Reason" by Norman Geisler and Ronald M. Brooks. It gives great clarity to me how they explain away the misunderstandings conveyed in the question.
"If God created the laws of logic, then why can't he break them? After all, He created the laws of nature and He breaks them every time He does a miracle?"
Here is there answer.
****Natural law is really only a description of how things normally operate, but laws of logic are more like ethical laws that tell us how our minds should operate, even if that is not the way we always think.
Natural laws deal with the ways things are; logical laws deal with the way things ought to be. One is prescriptive, the other is descriptive. One calls for obedience, the other does not. Logic flows from Gdo's rational nature.
Let me know how these logic statements strike you. Does it impact your worldview of God or his power?
