God the Father

Letham also notes that the term “Mother” in reference to God is never a metaphor when used in the Old Testament and is absent in the New Testament (36). Thus, the names ‘Father’ and ‘Son’ portray the relationship between the two as it is “more pious and accurate to name God in connection with his Son an call Him Father, than to name Him from His works and call Him Unoriginate” (Letham 137). As the Father has given the Son the ability to have life in Himself, the Son is also able to grant eternal

for his inheritance early. So, the father gives his son his inheritance to find out that he disappears and is never heard of again. Until, he comes back asking for forgiveness from his father to take him back into their lives. This story teaches you the real meaning of God’s love and how He is willing to forgive us; no matter what the circumstances are. Yes, this parable shows the deep love of a father for his lost son. But it shows the reader, how God our Father is standing waiting for us to come

The poverty of the names calling the Triune God in Korean Christianity: Will God be just a Father to Koran Christian? How have the Korean church been speaking about the Triune God? How have the Korean church been naming the Trinity? Jesus taught us to call God “our Father” when we pray. God has made us reborn as spiritual families through Jesus Christ. However, the Father image of Koreans is not the same as the Father image of Jesus. Due to the still strong Confucian ideology, it is true that Korean

Newton Instructor Rev. Vernita Charles & Instructor Rev. Katrina Huffman Biblical Doctrine January 09 2017 Bible Doctrine Mid-Term - Fall 2016 Matthew 28:19 – “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” The Trinity is an area of the Christian faith where Christians and non-Christians alike struggle to explain the Godhead in a way that is biblical and understandable.  In this paper I will discuss the doctrine

Two Methods of Defending the Trinity Christians believe in one God, yet the apparent contradictory nature of the Trinity is such that it has caused many to doubt whether Christianity is indeed monotheistic. This has consequently caused Christians to defend their monotheism in relation to the Trinity. In the two such defenses that are studied in this essay, we find that Christians have explained the nature of Trinity with varying degrees of effectiveness and success. Timothy the

is God? In Judeo-Christian tradition God created the cosmos and he said it was good. God created everything. “Yahweh” is a form of God’s name in Hebrew which is best translated to “I am who I am”. God is this mysterious divine spirit that was created before time and lives forever. God is the “tremendom”, the holy, fearful and overwhelming mystery that people can only wonder about and try to wrap their heads around. Jews and Christians believe that human beings are created in the image of God. Everyone

Hunger made Elie and his father only closer, but everyone has to eat. The quote is after Elie and his father ran more than 20 kilometers from Auschwitz to an abandoned village. Being hungry, thirsty, and especially exhausted would be the only things a person would think if they had done the march while hungry and thirsty. But Elie comes said that quote to prove the strength of the bond between him and his father. Another time in which the prisoners marched was running to Gleiwitz. They stayed there

lecture we discussed about the Godhead it brought an understanding of how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit cooperate. The Godhead demonstrates God’s intra-relationship by expressing how the persons of the Godhead relate to each other, within the unity of being one indivisible God. The purpose of this paper is to not only gather an understanding of the Trinitarian theology, which is a Christ-centered way of understanding who God is; however, it is to introduce lessons through scripture reading so students

the existence of only one true God, the doctrine of the trinity describes this God as being “three in one”, meaning that there are three entities to compose the singular God. God the Father (also referred to as God the Creator) is responsible for the creation of the universe and all its inhabitants, for sovereignty over His creation, and is the God entity with whom Christian believers have a relationship. Perhaps a more apt description of the character of God the Father could be found in Daniel 2:20-21
