#160 – Infinite & Incomprehensible

13 oktober 2022 · 39 min
Afspelen

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley discuss what it means that God is infinite and incomprehensible. Lees meer

Questions Covered in This Episode:

What do we mean by “the attributes of God?”

What is the difference between incommunicable and communicable attributes?

What do we mean by “God is infinite?”

What does it mean that God is incomprehensible?

Why is this not a problem? What if there is a hidden part of God that I don’t know about, and it’s not good?

Why is it good news that God is infinite and incomprehensible?

Helpful Definitions:

Attribute: Something that is true about God, who he is.

Incommunicable Attribute: Things that are true about God, that are only true of God and are not true of anyone else.

Communicable Attribute: Things that are true about God, that can also become true of us.

Infinite: No limit of any kind.

Omnipotent: All powerful.

Omniscient: All things are known effortlessly and instantly.

Revelation: The self-disclosure of God. God Himself is the sole and proper witness to himself.

General Revelation: God reveals his divine attributes in the world.

Special Revelation: God reveals who He is in the Word of God incarnate and the Word of God inscripturated.

Incomprehensible: Not able to be fully understood.

Apophatic (Negative) Theology: We cannot in language or in knowledge know or rightly articulate the perfect goodness of the nature and character of God. So a more adequate solution than to use words that fail to describe who and what God is, is to use words that describe what he is not.

Gnosticism: A heresy that plagued the early church. One of the main teachings of Gnosticism was that all physical matter is evil and all spiritual and immaterial things are good. Therefore, the Gnostic view of life was that death would free of us from the physical evil we can’t escape. Gnostics taught that after death, humans left their earthly bodies behind and enjoyed an immortal, spiritual presence with God.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

We’ve heard (and subsequently forgotten) the title of JT’s dissertation. Jen and Kyle, if you had to write a dissertation, what would it be on?

My new pastor has grown a lot from his UPC roots, but isn’t quite where I’m at in regards to the trinity. I appreciate that He is looking to the Word and growing, but this is still my biggest concern. He says if NT Wright is a trinitarian, then so is he. I don’t have context to interpret that well. He’s also leery of the word “persons” when speaking of the trinity, but does affirm distinction and oneness. He agrees that Father is not Son, etc, but all three are one God. Can you speak a bit about what I am losing if I agree to disagree here? Is there a major loss in saying ‘three beings, one God’ instead?

Our pastor views keeping a Sabbath as wise and beneficial, but doesn’t believe it’s necessarily a command we have to keep. Is this true?

For Kyle, would you be willing to talk about your relationship with foster care? I’d love to hear about your theology surrounding foster care, and how your faith informs how you’ve participated in caring for foster children and/or their families.

What habits have you guys found to be the most beneficial for your spiritual life and family life?

How do you, in your personal lives find the balance between Christian liberty and holiness, particularly as it pertains to your Christian witness?

What is Phoebe’s role in the delivery of Romans?

When you were in elementary school, what would we have found you usually doing during recess....tetherball? Trading baseball cards? Bullying kids for their lunch money?

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley celebrate episode 150 of Knowing Faith by answering questions submitted by listeners! Lees meer

Questions Covered in This Episode:

How do we reconcile judgment day with the knowledge that when we repent God forgets or casts away our sins?

Will we see King Saul in heaven?

Are false stories the same thing as worldviews?

How can brothers in Christ best supportz sisters in Christ who are pursuing some form of ministry in the US context?

Is the soul inherently gendered as male and female? If yes or no, what are the implications for complementarianism?

Do you consider women’s bible study and women’s ministry the same thing?

Can you help me understand the difference between the ontological and economic Trinity? Why does it matter?

What are your thoughts on Paul saying to not pay attention to genealogies in 1 Timothy?

Why is the Father referred to as God the Father but Christ is referred to as the Son of God, not God the Son? Does this language confuse the equality of the Trinity in any way?

Who is your favorite of the minor prophets and why?

How do we pray Trinitarianly?

Does Kenosis deny the deity of Christ?

I want to develop my own curriculum for our study to use, where should I start?

Romans 7:4 says we have died to the law in Christ Jesus but in Matthew 5:17 Jesus says he didn’t come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. So if we are in Christ it means that we have died to the law, but also we have fulfilled the law in Christ. How can both be true at the same time? Did we die to the law or did we fulfill the law in Christ?

I reckon after these tough questions you and your families need a holiday to NZ! What say you all?

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley continue their discussion on Romans by looking at Romans 11:1-24 and also discuss covenantal vs. dispensational views on God’s faithfulness to Israel. Lees meer

Questions Covered in This Episode:

What is the central question of these verses?

Why would Paul feel the need to preemptively respond to this question? What objection is he anticipating?

Who are “His people” (V. 1) and “they” (V. 11)?

V. 11,13 “Israel jealous?”

Would you say that there are some promises that are going to find a unique fulfillment for the broader conception of Israel that are still on the table?

Is Israel given primacy of place in the order of who received revelation and/or in God's grand scheme of salvation?

Do you think most Christian Evangelecals today hold to a broadly dispensational view of God’s covenant faithfulness to Israel?

Does context matter in this discussion?

Helpful Definitions:

Covenantal: Emphasize the unity of the Biblical text from Genesis to Revelation.

Dispensational: Read God’s covenantal history as progressive.

Resources Mentioned in This Episode:

After The Fact: What is Typology and Why Does it Matter with Dr. Jim Hamilton

1 maart 2022 · 8 min
Afspelen

Kyle Worley is joined by Dr. Jim Hamilton, to answer the question, what is typology and why does it matter? Lees meer

Questions Covered in This Episode:

What is typology and why does it matter?

Where would you take someone to see a basic typology in the Bible?

What is the full scope of the way types present themselves?

In what way has studying typology left you with a greater sense of the grandeur of God’s word?

Helpful Definitions:

Typology: Consists of what we might call promise shaped patterns that the biblical authors intended to communicate; that create repetitions in sequences of events that are intended by the authors, under the control of the sovereign God, and they develop across salvation history. Many culminate and are fulfilled in Christ but not all of them.

People, events, and institutions

Guest Bio:

Dr. Jim Hamilton is Professor of Biblical Theology at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and the author of several books, including but not limited to: What is Biblical Theology?, The Bible’s Big Story: Salvation History for Kids, and the recently released two volume commentary on the Psalms from Lexham Press and the forthcoming Typology: Understanding the Bible’s Promise Shaped Patterns. He also serves as the senior pastor at Kenwood Baptist Church.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

Romans 10:1 begins similar to Romans 9:1-3?

What does V. 2 mean?

Does Christ being “the end of the law for righteousness” mean the law has no consequence or relation to the Christian (V. 4)?

It seems like VV. 5-13 is a contrast between “righteousness based on law” and “righteousness based on faith.” Is that accurate?

What does it mean to confess with your mouth?

How does. V. 13 square with doctrine of election?

Questions Covered in This Episode:

Over the last few seasons, we have been using and introducing a ton of terms that could be new for our listeners and thought: “Mother is the repetition of learning, right?” So let’s do some review and repetition on the terms in Romans that concern the doctrine of salvation.

Salvation

Sin

Righteousness

Justification

Faith

Sanctification

In Adam/In Christ

Flesh/Spirit

Adoption

Predestined

Called

Glorification

Helpful Definitions:

Salvation: To be saved from something.

Is the good news, at the highest possible level, that God loves His creation and is bent on redeeming us through the person and work of Jesus.

Original Sin: We are implicated in Adam’s sin.

Sin: Identity: We are no longer living in the identity God has given us. Idolatry: We are born into this world not giving our worship, affection, and loyalty to God. Immorality: We don’t behave as we ought. We are unable and unwilling to choose righteousness.

When we are justified by the blood of Christ, we are saved from sin’s penalty.

Faith:

The instrument of our salvation, we draw everything from the work of Christ and contribute nothing to it.

The ascent of our minds to that which God says is true. Adoration, God deserves my worship, love, and affection. Giving my actions over to Him, a life of obedience, allegiance, and loyalty.

Sanctification: Freed day by day to look mo…

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley are back to discuss the book of Romans! They are joined by Dr. Mike Bird to take a look at Romans 9 and the study of Paul. Lees meer

Questions Covered in This Episode:

Before we jump into Romans 9: How did we get here? What’s the flow and argument of the letter so far?

How does the audience of this letter shape the way we read Romans 9?

What is the argument of chapter 9?

Romans 9:6-7 appears to be distinguishing between two kinds of Israel? Is that correct?

Is Paul trying to make the argument that the promises of God to Israel are not for all of ethnic Israel and are only for the children of the promise?

What are people's working assumptions of Israel in the Bible?

Is there a more pressing question for Paul? Is God faithful (V. 6)?

The most incendiary section of this chapter to modern readers is Romans 9:13-18. How does Paul build the tension in his argument? How does he relieve it?

Why would you encourage someone to read Romans 9?

If you just had to steer people away from the biggest misunderstanding, in your view, of Romans 9: How would you caution them?

Study of Paul: What do you see right now as some of the most interesting questions that are being asked in Pauline scholarship?

Complementarianism: Why do you care about the issue of women in the church?

Helpful Definitions:

Israel: The name for the sacred people in the Jewish sacred history.

Ethnic Israel: Those who are genetically, biologically, or familially part of the people of God.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

“Do you have recommendations for books/podcasts/resources/etc for doing something similar but age appropriate for older kids?”

“Is the language about God being Father & Son literal or figurative or both?”

“Are we ever at risk of reading too much into parallels, types, significant numbers etc. and drawing conclusions that weren’t intended as we attempt to comprehend and interpret on our own?”

“Why do you think that in the New Creation there will be no darkness (Rev. 21:22-25) yet in the first creation, before there was sin, God created darkness and light? 1 Jn 1:5 says there is no darkness in God, but why then did God create night in the first place?”

“Regarding Gen 3:24. What happened to the garden, the cherubim & flaming sword after Adam and Eve left? What happened to the tree of life or tree of knowledge of good & evil?”

“What is a theological belief or tradition that you used to hold too firmly but changed your mind (or at least you are no longer as confident in)?”

“I’ve been wrestling with postmillennialism, amillennialism, and premillennialism eschatology and have been leaning towards post. I know it’s not an essential of our faith but I was wondering what you guys can comment on this and any good resources as well.”

“Are you ever worried about how much influence you are having through the podcast?”

“Is justification by faith alone a first-tier ("essentials") issue in your view? It seems that many evangelicals do think so, but if so, how does that affect how we view people in church history like Thomas Aquinas, if this doctrine is an "essential" belief to be saved?”

Questions Covered in This Episode:

“Jen, I have heard you at least twice talk about situations where it’s ok to lie → I think you used the phrase “truth to whom truth is due” → How does that fit with scriptures' admonitions against lying? You guys are some of the best bible teachers I know so obviously you're not saying to just lie whenever. Please help! Thanks Jen for all the work you do keeping JT and Kyle in line and on track!”

“What do you think of the conversations about how we should not refer to ourselves as sinners once we’re saved?”

Who is having this argument?

What do you think of the idea of dating your spouse?

“Thoughts on Christians reading apocryphal documents?”

“What is your favorite book that you read in 2021, and what books are you reading now?”

“How should believers regard secular art/entertainment with obviously biblical themes? I watched Dune this weekend and found it to have a lot of biblical themes. Are all works of art/entertainment just outworkings of the ultimate story of the bible?”

“How would you clearly define the gospel?”

“My six year old wants to know if we will see the Holy Spirit in heaven?”

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley are joined by Dr Jarvis Williams to look at Romans 8:18-28 and discuss suffering and our ultimate hope. Lees meer

Questions Covered in This Episode:

What are the sufferings that Paul has in mind here?

Creation is personified here as something that is waiting and groaning, is that strange to hear about something non-personal in personal terms like that? (v. 19, 22)

What is the “revealing of the sons of God?”

But it’s not just creation, it’s also we ourselves who are growing as we wait for adoption? But haven’t we already been adopted? (Rom. 8:15-18)

The Spirit helps us by interceding with “groanings too deep for words,” what does Paul have in mind here?

Discuss why Romans 8:28 is better in its context.

What is our hope?

Helpful Definitions:

Sufferings: The normal rhythms that all human beings experience in this present evil age that are the result of the fall and the curse that Jesus has come to deliver us and the creation from. (Could be persecution for our faith, cancer, poverty, etc.)

Guest Bio:

Dr. Jarvis Williams is Associate Professor of New Testament Interpretation at the SBTS. He has published numerous books including Christ Redeemed us from the Curse of the Law, a commentary on Galatians, and the recently released Redemptive Kingdom Diversity: A Biblical Theology of the People of God, and has commentary with IVP coming out on Romans.
