Answer 2

Epistemology How do I know what I know.
Ok, 4 verses here: 1st Cor.2:10-13
1Cr 2:10 But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.


1Cr 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.


1Cr 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.


1Cr 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

Theology Who or what is God ?

It is better than asking "What is God?" This is because God exists, created us, loves us, is concerned for our being, desires to provide for us, and sent the Son to redeem us. If we were to ask "What is God?" we might be tempted to say that God is the infinite being, the creator, a presence, or something like that. In some respect, this would be true. But the first question brings us closer to understanding more of who God really is in His character and His love for us as revealed in the Bible.
The Bible teaches us that in all existence, from all eternity, there has been and always will be only one God. God was never created, is completely loving, completely just, completely holy, completely merciful, and that He desires the best for us. God is holy and He can have nothing to do with sin as the Bible says, "His eyes are too pure to look upon evil," (Hab. 1:13). This does not mean that God cannot see what someone does that is wrong. It is a way of describing how holy God is. God cannot sin. He is perfect.
In Christianity, God is a Trinity. This means that God is three persons, not three gods. Technically, the doctrine of the Trinity states that in the one God is the person of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each is not the same person as the other; yet there are not three gods but one. This is similar in analogy to the nature of time. Time is past, present, and future. The past is not the same as the present, which is not the same as the future. But, there are not three times. There is only one thing called time.
The reason the word "person" is used in describing the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is because each exhibits attributes of personhood -- not in a body of flesh and bones, but in personality. In other words, each has a will, loves, speaks, is aware of others, communicates with others, etc. These are attributes of personhood and we see the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit each demonstrate these qualities.
Because of the Trinity, God can become flesh in the form of the Son, and still exist in such a way so that He can run the universe. Therefore, the Son can communicate to us on our level.
Following are a couple verses that hint at the Trinity.

Matt. 28:19, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit."
2 Cor. 13:14, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all."
The Bible says there is only one God: "I am the Lord, and there is no other;
Besides Me there is no God," (Isaiah 45:5). Yet, the Bible teaches that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are each called God.
Below is a very brief chart that shows that each of the persons in the Trinity share the same attributes that only God shares. But remember, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit each have wills, and speak, etc. Therefore, we say there are are three persons.

Answer 3

1).
John 1

The Word Became Flesh

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning.

3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.


John 14:26
But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.


2.) Deuteronomy 32:6
Is this the way you repay the LORD, O foolish and unwise people? Is he not your Father, your Creator, [ Or Father, who bought you ] who made you and formed you?

1 John 4:8
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

3.) John 14:6
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

John 6
66From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.

67"You do not want to leave too, do you?" Jesus asked the Twelve.

68Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God."

Answer 4

Epistemology
- I know what I know by experience and observation.

Luke 7:22 So he replied to the messengers, "Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.

- I also know how to tell if someone is telling the truth. That is to say, if what they say is true.

Isaiah 53:1 Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
Proverbs 12:17 A truthful witness gives honest testimony,
but a false witness tells lies.
_______________________________

Theology
- The nature of the Creator is revealed in the creation. We can know of God by knowing ourselves because God made us in His image:

Genesis chapter 1:26-27
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.

- and by understanding the world around us, the universe:

Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
________________________

Ontology
- What is real? The first knowable truth or awareness of reality is "I am". You know that you exist. You can say of yourself, "I am". Everyone can say this and know it to be absolutely true. From here we perceive reality.

John 8:58 "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!"

Exodus 3:14 God said to Moses, "I am who I am . This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.' "

Answer 5

1) 2 Peter 1:20-21 “Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”

2 Timothy 3:16 “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness”


2) He is our Creator & Savior (Too many Scriptures to name here)

3) God is real.......the truth of the Scriptures is real (Again....way too many Scriptures to name)

Answer 6

That would not be a "true christian" as you say, but someone who worships the bible, not Christ. There is in fact a difference between worshipping the finger pointing toward God, and worshipping God. Read your bible, even it says, the "Word of God" is NOT the bible, but Christ.

Answer 7

Hebrews 12:29 KJV
"For our God is a consuming fire."

John 4:24
"God is a Spirit:......"

John 1:1
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

---------------------------------------

John 14:6 KJV
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, THE TRUTH, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father (God), but by Me (Jesus)."

Nothing is more real than the TRUTH.

John 8:32 KJV
"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

John 8:36 KJV
"If the Son (Jesus) therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."

As an American I know all about the "freedom in the Lord."

Answer 8

Blind faith...

If I put all the scripture in the bible right here, it would mean the same...
