2 The Triune God
3 The Bible assumes that God exists and that we can know it God possesses a certain nature we can grasp God can and has communicated with mankind God s benevolence can be known God s revelation can be recognized, understood and followed an objective moral code exists that can be known, understood and followed
4 The Parable Of The Good Samaritan (Lk 10:25ff) Christ assumed the lawyer... knew what the law said and meant... could understand the parable... had the moral capability and amenability to understand and obey the parable Why? Because God made the world/man that way. We can think as God thinks (rationality), feel as he feels (emotion), judge as he judges (morality), want what he wants (volition) and act as he decrees/desires (behavior)
5 What is man?... that You should exalt him... (Job 7:17)... that You are mindful of him... (Psalms 8:4; Heb 2:6)... that You take knowledge of him?... (Psalms 144:3)
6 What is man? Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." (Genesis 1:26-27)
7 Man Is Touched By God
8 What is man? "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Thessalonians 5:23)
9 body - soul - spirit
10 body the body both of men or animals; the living body soma JHT
11 soul the seat of the feelings, desires, affections, aversions;... a moral being designed for everlasting life psuche JHT
12 spirit the vital principal by which the body is animated pneuma JHT
13 body - soul - spirit
14 soul rational emotional moral volitional behavioral temporal/eternal
15 soul rational - thought, reason, memory emotional moral volitional behavioral temporal/eternal
16 soul rational emotional - love, hate, passion moral volitional behavioral temporal/eternal
17 soul rational emotional moral - conscience, oughtness volitional behavioral temporal/eternal
18 soul rational emotional moral volitional - will, decision making behavioral temporal/eternal
19 soul rational emotional moral volitional behavioral - man s actions temporal/eternal
20 soul rational emotional moral volitional behavioral temporal/eternal - now & forever
21 What does this mean? rational emotional moral volitional behavioral temporal/eternal
22 What does this mean? rational - we can think like God emotional moral volitional behavioral temporal/eternal
23 What does this mean? rational emotional - we can feel like God moral volitional behavioral temporal/eternal
24 What does this mean? rational emotional moral - we have conscience like God volitional behavioral temporal/eternal
25 What does this mean? rational emotional moral volitional - we can choose like God behavioral temporal/eternal
26 What does this mean? rational emotional moral volitional behavioral - we can act like God temporal/eternal
27 What does this mean? rational emotional moral volitional behavioral temporal/eternal - we can be with God now
28 What does this mean? rational emotional moral volitional behavioral temporal/eternal - we can be with God forever
29 What does this mean? God wants us to think like Him. God wants us to feel like Him. God wants us to have a conscience like His. God wants us to choose like Him. God wants us to act like Him. God wants us to be with Him - now and forever.
30 Man Is Touched By God
31 Can man, touched by God,... know/understand God? (Deut 29:29; Rom 11:33) are his higher ways/thoughts beyond us? (Is 55:8-9) Rom 1:18ff - his existence is clearly seen Acts 14:17 - his benevolence is everywhere/always Acts 17:27 - he seeks to, and can be, found 2 Pet 1:3-4 - we can make his nature our own
32 Can man, touched by God,... understand God s nature here and now? understand God s nature before here and now? is what God is what God has always been?
33 The Nature of God... usually considered as applying exclusively to us does God s nature apply only to us/within time? or has what it is in time always been what it is in eternity?
34 The Nature of God... has always been as it is (Mal 3:6; Heb 13:8) has always been as it is in time has always been as it is in eternity
