• Jesus called himself the “Son of God”

  By Theology School on February 5, 2021 • ( 1 )

  

  Jesus kept pointing people to himself, saying, “Come to me” (Mt 11:28). Buddha said, “Look not to me; look to my dharma (doctrine).” Buddha also said, “Be ye lamps unto yourselves.” Jesus said, “I am the light of the world” (Jn 8:12). Lao Tzu taught the way (tao); Jesus said, “I am the way” (Jn 14:6). Buddha, Confucius, Muhammad and other religious founders fulfilled no prophecies, performed no miracles and did not rise from the dead. Jesus did. Christians ought to realise how difficult, how scandalous, how objectionable, how apparently unbelievable and absurd this doctrine is bound to appear to others. We can’t apologise for truth.

• The Sanctity of life must be matched by Concern

  By Theology School on February 4, 2021 • ( 2 )

  

  The Bible as a whole clearly states that life comes from God as His gift and that we are answerable to him for what we do with our own and other people’s lives. Such responsibility means that we shall all answer before the judgment seat for our actions and failures to act. Thus, any and every taking of life is a most serious business and requires justification to God.

• What Is the Purpose of Spiritual Gifts?

  By Theology School on February 2, 2021 • ( 0 )

  

  The purpose of charismatic gifts is primarily the edification of the whole church, and, secondarily, the conviction and conversion of unbelievers. The once popular view that the charismata were given for the founding of the church and ceased during the 4th century when it became strong enough to continue without their assistance is contrary to historical evidence.

• Who made God?

  By Theology School on February 1, 2021 • ( 0 )

  

  God is the uncaused Being who caused everything else to come into existence. God is the uncreated Creator who created the universe and everything in it.

• Does God exist?

  By Theology School on January 31, 2021 • ( 2 )

  

  If God exists, then we are accountable to Him for our actions. If God does not exist, then we can do whatever we want, without having to worry about God judging us. That is why many of those who deny the existence of God cling strongly to the theory of naturalistic evolution—it gives them an alternative to believing in a Creator God.

• Are you right with God?

  By Theology School on January 31, 2021 • ( 1 )

  

  Being right with God is a matter of your response to what God has done on your behalf. He sent the Savior, He provided the sacrifice to take away your sin (John 1:29), and He offers you a promise: “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Acts 2:21).
