those seeking to understand fully and on earthly terms the fullness of God. J.I. Packer writes in his book Knowing God, “Here are two mysteries for the price of one– the plurality of persons within the unity of God, and the union of Godhead and manhood in the person of Jesus.” (Packer, 53) As christians, it is important for us to be able to know and be able to explain the biblical proof of Christ being both fully man and fully God.…

Each person in the world has some kind of religious values or beliefs. Some people believe that we honor god by giving respect and peace to one another. Others believe that after they lost a loved one, God was their at their side to help them, and that after war tore through their country, they should reevaluate their ideas about religion. When I was listening to the 17 “This I believe…” essays online, 3 stood out to me the most. They all touched me in a way, but also made me think a lot. Why…

So from this we can tell we need to respect God and give him all the glory. In Psalm 10:4 it says “In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his thought there is no room for God”. This explains that a man full or consumed with his own thoughts,…

In my life, I have heard many people talking about a renowned, legitimate, and powerful person, God, and most of them expressed their thoughts in a similar way, that “ I always believe in God and Jesus, and I am trying to do well for his glory.” Explicitly, they declare their genuine beliefs in God and their deeds which honor the grace of God; however, in a deeper manner, I find that so many people are so hypocritical, inasmuch as they merely attempt to be nobly mendacious about their faith and…

This weeks discussion forum asks to talk about the perichoresis relationship of the Trinity. Before this class, I knew that there was a "father", "son", and "spirit" but never dove deep into the meanings or their relationship together. I knew that there was only one God, but I didn't understand the concept of God being three persons. Every time I asked about it, I got the scenario of an egg, just as Grenz and Smith discussed. There is the yolk, egg white, and shell all serving their own roles,…
