Introduction to God’s Aseity & Necessity:   This evening we’ll look at God’s aseity (self-existence) and His necessity (He is essential for all else to exist).

Introduction:   In our class this evening we will examine the impassability and infinitude of God.  Both are difficult for finite humans like us to understand but the impassability of God is especially difficult.  In fact, some modern theologians (so called “open theists”) reject the traditional view of God’s impassability.   Assignments to complete before […]

Introduction:   Tonight we look at two of God’s attributes that are familiar to most Christians–His omnipotence and omnipresence!  Both of these attributes are clearly taught in the Bible and both are a great comfort to the believer while a terror to the unbeliever!   Assignments to complete before our next class:   Reading: Read chapter […]

Introduction:   Because God is infinite, eternal, and omnipresent it follows that He knows everything that can be known—that is, He is omniscient (all-knowing). Additionally, He possesses all wisdom by which He is able to make the best use of His unlimited knowledge—He is therefore omnisapient (all-wise).  Since He is all-knowing and all-wise it is […]

Introduction: In our class this evening we’ll evaluate God’s majesty, beauty, and ineffability!  The first two are attributes of His nature while ineffability is not properly an attribute of God, but rather reminds us, that even what we know of God’s attributes is limited because we are finite beings. God is so great that ultimately […]

Introduction: We turn now to God’s Life and Immortality.  While most believers would quickly recognize these attributes of God few recognize how we as humans experience these qualities of His Nature.  Furthermore, God’s Life and Immortality play a major role in how a person will experience eternity!   Assignments to complete before our next class: […]

Introduction:   In our class this evening we will examine the attributes of God’s jealousy and moral perfection.  Both of these characteristics of God are widely misunderstood and often used by atheists & nontheists alike to argue against the existence of God.  However, the Bible clearly ascribes these attributes to God, and properly understood are easily […]

Introduction:   Tonight we tackle two familiar attributes of God; His truthfulness and His omnibenevolence. While we might consider both of these attributes to be self-evident nonetheless today there are many who question whether truth even exists, and if it does whether it is absolute or relative.  Additionally, while all Christians believe that God is good […]

Introduction:   In our final class we will examine God’s mercy and wrath.  Some theologians identify these as attributes of God’s nature, while others see them as activities that flow from His attributes of goodness (omnibenevolence) and justice respectively.  Ultimately how we categorize God’s mercy and wrath is insignificant compared to which we will experience […]
