I do not believe God would break His own laws. The same way that God will not lie, He will not break His covenant, He will not violate His own will and He will not give His glory to another. There are certain things that God will not do. If God works in a certain way, it is the way He has outlined in Scripture.Katabole wrote:Hi Bipp. Not sure if you intended this for me or Hugh.

As He says,
Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not;...
I do believe however, that there are many laws of Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics that humanity has not discovered and may never discover but God knows those laws and the full extent of what those laws can do and it is evidently some set of highly advanced laws that were required to resurrect the physically dead body of Jesus into a new resurrected body. Evidently, in the heavenly dimension, there must be quite a different set of laws but they would nonetheless be laws, just a lot more advanced that what we are familiar with in this Universe.
It would be some kind of similar set of laws for example, when Jesus healed those who were blind or deaf. In order to heal a blind person, that is, to make a working eye from a blind eye, or to create a working ear from a deaf ear, Jesus would have had to have the ability to manipulate matter on the subatomic and level and then rearrange it and to do so virtually instantaneously. It would still require, chemistry, mathematics and physics of an extremely highly advanced sort. But if you were the person who created those laws and had absolute power to use them, then they would certainly seem miraculous, seeing as the word miracle comes from the Latin, "miraculum", something wondered at.
I do not want to limit God. I believe God has already put limits on Himself. But I do not want to claim something like, "Can God create a rock that not even He can lift?" Or, "Can God force me to love Him without violating my free will?" That type of thinking would come under the Omnipotence Paradox.

It was intended for Hugh , but I didn't mean God would break a promise or covenant .
Perhaps I should have worded it better .
What I mean is that God can most certainly temporarily interrupt or suspend the laws of physics . Isn't that what the supernatural means anyways ?
