Revelation and the God Revealed in It

  1. Does nature teach us anything about God which the Bible does not?


The Doctrine of Scripture
  1. What are some reasons why God would want to communicate to humans?
  2. We train dogs to understand our words instead of trying to learn theirs, then why does God try to speak to us humans in our language rather than teach us His? 
  3. Is the Bible the Word of God, or does it contain the Word of God?  What is the difference?


The Nature of Inspiration
  1. What is the difference in the authors of the Bible being inspired rather than the words?
  2. If it is only the thoughts that are inspired why should we learn scripture word for word?
  3. Why do you think God did not dictate the Bible word for word?


The Mystery of the Triune God
  1. How would you explain the trinity to person who accuses Christians of having three gods?
  2. Should we always address our prayers to the Father only, or may we pray to the Holy Spirit and to Jesus?


The Attributes of Our Creator
  1. How would a God who created us relate differently to us than a God who found us?
  2. Can we know about God from personal experience alone without the Bible?


The Activities of God
  1. If you were God, how would you try to interact with your created beings?
  2. Will God help one who does not believe in Him?
