Views of God
Seminar Series, Dunwoody Baptist Church,
Atlanta
God's View of Himself (5-7
weeks) How can God be both three and one?
Can something have one essence but still have parts or is this
semantic volleyball? What relationships exist among the
members of the Godhead? Did the Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit all die at Calvary? If the Godhead is one, how
can Jesus be in one place while God the Father is in another
place?
This class examines the trinity from both
historical and theological viewpoints, and gives an easy to
understand analogy from science that helps one to think about
triunity. We find that triunity is not unique to
theology, and in fact most substances in nature display
characteristics that are similar to the trinitarian
Godhead. Based on the article "Physics in the
Theological Seminary," in Jour. Evang. Theol. Soc. 35 (1993)
65.
God's View of His Son (6-8
weeks) What really happened during the
incarnation? If Jesus was really God, why did He have to
learn carpentry from Joseph? Why did He need to eat and
sleep? If he could read the mind of the Pharisees, why
did Jesus need to ask directions?
This seminar discusses the hypostatic union and
what it means to be both divine and human. We show that
dualism is the rule rather than the exception in nature, and
part of the very fabric of the universe. The
God-man is not the problem. The real problem is our
limited notion of what is divine and what is human.
God's View of Life (4-8
weeks) What is truly important in
life? Is there a best way to live? What are the
secrets to a full and successful life? Is there any
super street-smart person who can tell us how to thrive rather
than merely survive?
This seminar takes the audience on a visual odyssey
through the book of Ecclesiastes. The verses of
Ecclesiastes are illustrated by a series of provocative black
and white photographs from contemporary society. The
result is a powerful message about life as seen by the wisest
man who ever lived.
God's View of Space and Time
(8-10 weeks) How can God be in two or more
places at the same time? How can God know the
future? How can God see all of time with one
glance? When Genesis refers to the days of creation,
what span of time is meant and is this a relevant question in
the first place? Is it possible for man to alter
time? Is one second on Earth equal to one second in a
faraway galaxy? What about space? Is the shortest
distance between two points always a straight line?
Could God be existing in a parallel universe that we can't see
but yet exists all around us?
This seminar focuses on time and space was viewed from
the advantage of modern physics. We use
easy-to-understand illustrations from Einstein's theory of
relativity to show that neither time nor space is absolute and
discuss time travel, aging, and distances in the
Universe. Implications for the Christian, theology, and
the Genesis account are discussed.
God's View of Absolutes (4-6
weeks) There are three inviolable limits
in nature, where God in effect says NO FURTHER. The
limits are not matters of improvements in instrumentation but
rather limits which are intrinsic to nature and which
scientists believe can never be surpassed. The limits
are absolute zero, the speed of light, and the ability of
microscopes to reveal smaller and smaller
objects.
This seminar describes each limit in lay terms, why
each limit cannot be exceeded, and the implications for
Christians. What can we learn about God by such
limits? Why would God construct the Universe in this
way? Is He afraid of us discovering a modern tree of
knowledge of good and evil?
God's View of the Universe
(1-3 weeks) Does the Universe have no
end? Where are we located in the vast stellar
abode? How do astronomers know that millions and
millions of galaxies exist? How vast is space? Why
would God create such a huge Universe and populate only a
single planet called Earth? If life exists on other
planets, how many Christs are there?
This topic consists of 40 extraordinary photographs
taken by the world's best telescopes, orbiting instruments,
and microscopes, which take you on a visual journey spanning
millions of light years from the outer reaches of the Milky
Way, into nearby star systems, the solar system, the Earth,
and ending up in the human body where individual atoms are
observed. The highlight is a real-time film of single
atoms moving around on a surface and their one-by-one removal
from the surface, perhaps the highest resolution footage ever
shot and the ultimate in microsurgical technique.
God's View of Christians as
Salt and Light (3-8 weeks) When God left
us here to be salt and light in the world, what did He
mean? What is His perception of salt and light?
Why did He use these words to describe Christians? What
is it about salt and light that make them
special?
This seminar considers the physical and chemical
properties of salt and light, and shows why they are
particularly appropriate words to describe the role of
Christians living in the world. By learning about the
properties of salt and light, new insights about our testimony
and walk with Christ emerge. |
