Unreasonable To Not Believe In God
  • Psa 141 For the choir director. A Psalm of

    no God." They are corrupt, they have committed
    abominable deeds There is no one who does good.

7
Is It Reasonable To Believe In God?
  • Creation leads us to reasonably believe in the
    Creator, God
  • Revelation also provides reasonable evidence for
    existence of God

8
Evidence of God From Creation
  • Rom 118 For the wrath of God is revealed from
    heaven against all ungodliness and
    unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in
    unrighteousness,
  • Rom 119 because that which is known about God
    is evident within them for God made it evident
    to them.

9
Evidence of God From Creation
  • Rom 120 For since the creation of the world His
    invisible attributes, His eternal power and
    divine nature, have been clearly seen, being
    understood through what has been made, so that
    they are without excuse.

10
Evidence of God From Creation
  • Psa 191 For the choir director. A Psalm of
    David. The heavens are telling of the glory of
    God And their expanse is declaring the work of
    His hands.
  • Psa 192 Day to day pours forth speech, And
    night to night reveals knowledge.
  • Psa 193 There is no speech, nor are there
    words Their voice is not heard.

11
Evidence of God From Creation
  • Psa 194 Their line has gone out through all the
    earth, And their utterances to the end of the
    world. In them He has placed a tent for the sun,
  • Psa 195 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of
    his chamber It rejoices as a strong man to run
    his course.

12
Evidence of God From Creation
  • Psa 196 Its rising is from one end of the
    heavens, And its circuit to the other end of
    them And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

13
Evidence of God From Revelation
  • Isa 4428 "It is I who says of Cyrus, 'He is My
    shepherd! And he will perform all My desire.' And
    he declares of Jerusalem, 'She will be built,'
    And of the temple, 'Your foundation will be
    laid.'"
  • Isa 451 Thus says the LORD to Cyrus His
    anointed, Whom I have taken by the right hand, To
    subdue nations before him And to loose the loins
    of kings To open doors before him so that gates
    will not be shut

14
Evidence of God From Revelation
  • Isa 454 "For the sake of Jacob My servant, And
    Israel My chosen one, I have also called you by
    your name I have given you a title of honor
    Though you have not known Me.
  • Isa 455 "I am the LORD, and there is no other
    Besides Me there is no God. I will gird you,
    though you have not known Me

15
Evidence of God From Revelation
  • Isa 469 "Remember the former things long past,
    For I am God, and there is no other I am God,
    and there is no one like Me,
  • Isa 4610 Declaring the end from the beginning,
    And from ancient times things which have not been
    done, Saying, 'My purpose will be established,
    And I will accomplish all My good pleasure'

16
Evidence of God From Revelation
  • Isa 4611 Calling a bird of prey from the east,
    The man of My purpose from a far country. Truly I
    have spoken truly I will bring it to pass. I
    have planned it, surely I will do it.

17
Evidence of God From Revelation
  • Luk 2444 Now He said to them, "These are My
    words which I spoke to you while I was still with
    you, that all things which are written about Me
    in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the
    Psalms must be fulfilled."
  • Luk 2445 Then He opened their minds to
    understand the Scriptures,
  • Luk 2446 and He said to them, "Thus it is
    written, that the Christ would suffer and rise
    again from the dead the third day,

18
Words Describing God
  • Elohim power and preeminence
  • Jehovah unoriginated, eternal, immutable,
    self-sustained existence
  • Godhead Godhood, state of being God, essence of
    Divine nature, Deity
  • New Testament clearly reveals 3 persons who are
    Divine, equally God but performing different roles

19
Elohim (Plural) Power and Preeminence
  • Gen 11 In the beginning God created the heavens
    and the earth.
  • Gen 126 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our
    image, according to Our likeness and let them
    rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds
    of the sky and over the cattle and over all the
    earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps
    on the earth."

20
Elohim (Plural) Power and Preeminence
  • Gen 127 God created man in His own image, in
    the image of God He created him male and female
    He created them.

21
Elohim (Plural) Power and Preeminence
  • Gen 322 Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the
    man has become like one of Us, knowing good and
    evil and now, he might stretch out his hand, and
    take also from the tree of life, and eat, and
    live forever"
  • Gen 323 therefore the LORD God sent him out
    from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground
    from which he was taken.

22
Elohim (Plural) Power and Preeminence
  • Gen 324 So He drove the man out and at the
    east of the garden of Eden He stationed the
    cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every
    direction to guard the way to the tree of life.

23
Elohim and Jehovah Used Together
  • Deu 64 "Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God,
    the LORD is one!
  • Deu 65 "You shall love the LORD your God with
    all your heart and with all your soul and with
    all your might.

24
Godhead Godhood Divine Nature
  • Act 1729 "Being then the children of God, we
    ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like
    gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the
    art and thought of man.

25
Godhead Godhood Divine Nature
  • Rom 120 For since the creation of the world His
    invisible attributes, His eternal power and
    divine nature, have been clearly seen, being
    understood through what has been made, so that
    they are without excuse.

  • Is it reasonable to believe in God?
  • Words describing God
  • Three persons who are one God
  • What the Holy Spirit is not
  • Some attributes of the Holy Spirit

28
Three Persons Who Are One God
  • Along with the Father and the Son, the Holy
    Spirit is God, has same Divine nature
  • Much confusion because of misunderstanding of
    what it means when the Scriptures teach there is
    only one God
  • How can there be one God and three different
    persons who possess the Divine nature, are God?

29
Three Persons Who Are One God
  • Great error when people think of one God, they
    think of absolute one rather than unified one
  • Clear that when speaking of God, Father, Son and
    Holy Spirit, Scriptures speak of a unified one,
    one in nature, purpose and action

30
Examples of Unified One In Scriptures
  • Gen 116 The LORD said, "Behold, they are one
    people, and they all have the same language. And
    this is what they began to do, and now nothing
    which they purpose to do will be impossible for
    them.
  • Gen 3416 then we will give our daughters to
    you, and we will take your daughters for
    ourselves, and we will live with you and become
    one people.

31
Examples of Unified One In Scriptures
  • Mat 195 and said, 'FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL
    LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS
    WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH'?

32
Examples of Unified One In Scriptures
  • 1Co 36 I planted, Apollos watered, but God was
    causing the growth.
  • 1Co 37 So then neither the one who plants nor
    the one who waters is anything, but God who
    causes the growth.
  • 1Co 38 Now he who plants and he who waters are
    one but each will receive his own reward
    according to his own labor.
  • 1Co 39 For we are God's fellow workers you are
    God's field, God's building.

33
Three Persons Who Are God
  • Mat 316 After being baptized, Jesus came up
    immediately from the water and behold, the
    heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God
    descending as a dove and lighting on Him,
  • Mat 317 and behold, a voice out of the heavens
    said, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am
    well-pleased."

34
Three Persons Who Are God
  • Mat 2818 And Jesus came up and spoke to them,
    saying, "All authority has been given to Me in
    heaven and on earth.
  • Mat 2819 "Go therefore and make disciples of
    all the nations, baptizing them in the name of
    the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
  • Mat 2820 teaching them to observe all that I
    commanded you and lo, I am with you always, even
    to the end of the age."

    strive together with me in your prayers to God
    for me,

    and the love of God, and the fellowship of the
    Holy Spirit, be with you all.

    as also you were called in one hope of your
    calling
  • Eph 45 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
  • Eph 46 one God and Father of all who is over
    all and through all and in all.

    those who reside as aliens, scattered throughout
    Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
    who are chosen
  • 1Pe 12 according to the foreknowledge of God
    the Father, by the sanctifying work of the
    Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled
    with His blood May grace and peace be yours in

38
What The Holy Spirit Is Not

    think of absolute one rather than unified one

    Holy Spirit, Scriptures speak of a unified one,
    one in nature, purpose and action
  • Each Divine being, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
    are called God

The Father Is God
  • 1Co 86 yet for us there is but one God, the
    Father, from whom are all things and we exist for
    Him and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all
    things, and we exist through Him.

    possesses

46
Eternal

    who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself
    without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience
    from dead works to serve the living God?

    the depths of God.
  • 1Co 211 For who among men knows the thoughts of
    a man except the spirit of the man which is in
    him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows
    except the Spirit of God.

49
Omniscient
  • Joh 1613 "But when He, the Spirit of truth,
    comes, He will guide you into all the truth for

    made careful searches and inquiries,

    not serving themselves, but you, in these things
    which now have been announced to you through

    long to look.

55
Omnipotent
  • 2Pe 119 So we have the prophetic word made more
    sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to
    a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day
    dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts.
  • 2Pe 120 But know this first of all, that no
    prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own
