I'm reading Dr. Jordan Cooper's work The Great Divide: a Lutheran Evaluation of Reformed Theology and Dr. Cooper argues that Calvinism is logical but not biblical. Reformed Christians believe God created all things including logic, revelation may be a mystery but never illogical, because the laws of logic are immutable. The example given is double predestination, Lutherans believe God predestines to faith and therefore salvation but not to damnation, but admits the Calvinist is logically correct because not being predestined is in fact, reprobation. If you're not predestination to salvation then you are logically condemned for your sins without hope of salvation.
This is more of a biblical philosophy questions but how do Lutherans understand the laws of logic? Are they immutable? Are the laws of logic superseded when it comes to biblical interpretation on the issue of salvation?
Yours in the Lord,
