Okay. So we’re continuing the study of theology proper, looking carefully at what’s revealed in God the Creator. We’ve talked about God being immortal spirit, triune person, God the creator. And we’re just, we are wanting to just walk through the text in Genesis 1. Observe what’s there, see what we can infer and understand from now. We, there’s a lot we,…

Okay. We have covered the first and second subheadings under the first major category of theology proper. We talked about the greatness of God and, the, those subheadings under the greatness of God, or God the immortal spirit, and God the triune person. And now we’re looking at that third subheading which we started, started last time, God the creator. So we…
So we have covered the first and second subheadings under the first major category of theology proper, on the greatness of God, and the subheadings are God the immortal spirit. And last time we covered God the Triune person. Now we’re going to look at a third subheading, God the Creator. And this is going to take us a few, a few…
As you know, we finished the first subheading under the first major category of theology proper; God’s greatness and immortal spirit. I’d originally intended to get into a second subheading under God’s greatness called God the Creator, but I said, I decided to make that the third subheading and insert something in between. I debated whether or not to deal with the…
Last time we finished the first subheading under the first major category of theology proper that we’re calling God’s greatness, and we talked about God as immortal spirit. You guys remember what God’s immortal spirit involves, as we were talking about that doctrine. Okay, don’t worry because we’ll review it. Alright? I, I, had intended today to start into the second subheading…
We talked about God as in his greatness, as immortal spirit. As in immortal Spirit God is life giving. He is one. So, we talked about a lot of, you know, the doctrines of obviously monotheism, but also simplicity; in that doctrine of God being one and then God being unchanging; that all comes out of the fact that God is immortal…
Last week we reviewed the doctrine of divine simplicity and that wrapped up the section on God is life giving spirit. And then we got into the doctrine of immutability, that God is an unchanging God. God is, you can look at your outline here and follow this; God is life-giving spirit. God is one. You can see that Roman numeral one,…
This, this study of God, theology proper, we’ve divided God’s attributes, as we’ve said, into two, basically the attributes two categories: the attributes of greatness and the attributes of glory, or goodness, I’m sorry, can’t stop thinking about his glory. So, attributes of greatness and attributes of goodness. Okay, greatness and goodness. In talking about God’s greatness, we’ve looked at his greatness…
Okay, so last time we talked about the fundamental attribute of God’s being, the fact that he is, he is, and that he is the living God. And we identified that by the, by virtue of the references to him as Elohim, that is, a plural of majesty, allowing for a plural, plurality of person. And yet he’s restricted to oneness. He…
Travis: I’m going to get right into review. Last, last time we looked at the fundamental. We were talking about the fundamental incomprehensibility of God, and we talked about that in conjunction with the knowability of God. You may remember, we read from the Athanasian Creed. One God in Trinity, Trinity and Unity and all that, right? We read from Augustine’s Christian…
