I love it, Charlie. Whip those saggy theological minds into rock-hard shape! If you need me to teach a paedobaptist session, give me a call.
I'm going to come off as completly uneducated on the docterine of god, but i'm curious to hear the answers to these questions. I'd like to know you guys' ideas about this.
Ok, since no one else will bite, I will give it a try. Please remember this is without studying, so if I bomb don't tell the seminary.
1)
2) False
3) False
4) True
5) all-powerful
6) all-knowing
7) justice
8) I know this isn't the exact word but "function."
9) out of nothing
10) for his glory
Hope I didn't give any heretical answers.
By the way, sorry but I couldn't remember the answer to numbero uno.
Michael - you get a 90...very good.
1) We can know God exists by listening to our hearts, looking at nature, and looking at Scripture.
"Function" is indeed the correct answer.
Other examples of God's attributes are his love, goodness, mercy, holiness, peace/order, jealous and wrath.
Charlie,
I don't believe in partial credit so I didn't answer number one. Not sure where Grudem gets the first part of the answer to question one. Maybe Romans 1 and 2. But, I would probably include that in general revelation. It might be splitting hairs, but that is just me.
Romans 1 and 2...but 'listening to our hearts' is my words, not Grudem's.
Really,
How would you explain the difference between general revelation and listening to our hearts?
I'm not sure what you are asking.
Charlie,
You explained that there are three ways to know God exists. One of those ways is by listening to our hearts. I would tend to place that in the same category as general revelation, which is sometimes called natural law (Aquinas and Lewis saw natural law and general revelation as the same thing). My question is then, how do you (since you make a division between the two) explain the difference in the two? It is not a big deal. I'm not saying you are wrong or anything. I'm just curious.
Well 'listening to our hearts' and 'looking at nature' are both considered general revelation. I guess the distinction would be to say that 'listening to our hearts' is internal general revelation whereas 'looking at nature' could be considered external general reveation.
