Review: Clarity of scripture
Review: Necessity of scripture

Discussion:
Belief in God without belief in Jesus Christ
Jews who don’t accept that Christ has died and rise (NT)
Revelation of God outside of having scriptural reference
Those who don't have access to the Bible
THE CHARACTER OF GOD:
How do you know God?:
scripture
nature
inner need for him (created with a God-shaped hole in us)
Summary: Communicable = more shared; Incommunicable = less shared
God vs. us
Eternity vs. finite
God does not change – he is perfect
His existence is on another plane
Our character/image is in the reflection… we have similar tendencies
Discussion:
“Free will” – the idea of “free” – that we are never truly free.
Secret will and revealed will (p.213). That Your will be done – that
God’s rule is present on earth as it is in heaven.
Judges 14 – Samson wanted a wife among the Philistine (against the
revealed will of God). God’s revealed will and His secret will were in
opposition.
