1. The law of identity: An apple is an apple. Applies to a single nature. It is what it is.
2. The law of non-contradiction: It cannot be raining and not raining at the same time in the same place. Truth is not self-contradictory.
3. The law of the excluded middle: Either p or non-P. A statement is either true or false. Deals in absolutes.
?The basic laws of logic are neither arbitrary inventions of God nor principles that exist completely outside God?s being. Obviously, the laws of logic are not like the laws of nature. God may violate the latter(say, suspend gravity), but He cannot violate the former. Those laws are rooted in God?s own nature. Indeed, some scholars think the passage ?In the beginning was the Word [logos]? (Jn 1:1) is accurately translated, ?In the beginning was Logic (a divine, rational mind).? For example, even God cannot exist and not exist at the same time, and even God cannot validly believe that red is a color and red is not a color. When people say that God need not behave ?logically,? they are using the term in a loose sense to mean ?the sensible thing from my point of view.? Often God does not act in ways that people understand or judge to be what they would do in the circumstances. But God never behaves illogically in the proper sense. He does not violate in His being or thought the fundamental laws of logic.?
