1 How Does God Interact With The Mind? Durham University Christians in Science Jonathan Foster Clare Parkinson
2 How do we talk about it? I felt God was telling me I had a sense of God s presence I got a picture of Language of sensing
3 Sensing Model
4 Assumptions 1. God does interact with our minds 2. We are capable of making a free and rational choice about how to respond to God 3. God maintains our free will when he interacts with us
5 Scientific/Philosophical Understanding
6 The mind is a surprising thing! I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am -Descartes

14 Sensing Model GOD?
15 Biblical Understanding
16 Does God interact with our minds? Strong evidence that God does interact with the minds of humans: Seeing God Dreams e.g. Joseph (Matt 1) Visions e.g. Saul (Acts 9) Hearing God Prophecy e.g. Book of Daniel An audible voice e.g. Moses (Exodus 3)
17 Does this still happen today? But the Counsellor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you (John 14:26)
18 Can people make a rational choice about how to respond to God? Many examples in the Bible of people making a decision based on their encounter with God
19 Biblical Examples MOSES When the LORD saw Moses he called to him Moses! (Exodus 3:4)
20 Biblical Examples JONAH The word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai: "Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me." But Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish. (Jonah 1:1-3)
21 Biblical Examples SAUL / ANANIAS ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight. (Acts 9:11-12)
22 Non-Israelites in the OT the LORD made the enemy troops attack each other with their swords (Judges 7:22) The LORD had made them determined to fight the Israelites (Joshua 11:20) He prompted Cyrus to issue the following command (Ezra 1:1)
23 Non-Israelites in the OT speculation Could it be that we only have a choice in how to respond to God if we know something of him already? We only get the story from the point of view of the Israelites Perhaps they just couldn t see what was going on in the minds of their enemies?
24 Moses and Pharaoh Pharaoh s hardness of heart: 1. Pharaoh hardened his heart 2. Pharaoh s heart was hardened 3. God hardened Pharaoh s heart
25 God and Pharaoh What about Pharaoh s free will? Progression through passage Plagues 1-5 Pharaoh hardens his own heart Plague 6 God hardens his heart Pharaoh s free will can remain intact
26 Conclusions Does the sensory model stand up to scientific, philosophical and biblical scrutiny?
27 Conclusions 1. God does interact with our minds
28 Conclusions 1. God does interact with our minds 2. We are capable of making a free and rational choice about how to respond to God
29 Conclusions 1. God does interact with our minds 2. We are capable of making a free and rational choice about how to respond to God 3. God maintains our free will when he interacts with us
30 Conclusions 1. God does interact with our minds 2. We are capable of making a free and rational choice about how to respond to God 3. God maintains our free will when he interacts with us This is what we would expect from a true and loving God
