A Compendium of Evangelical Theology GIVEN IN THE WORDS OF HOLY SCRIPTURE. CHAPTER I. THE BEING OF GOD. 1. Can God be defined? (a) As the human mind is finite, and conceives by defining the limits of the object of its thought, and as God is krown to us to be Infinite, it necessarily follows that the human mind cannot under any conceivable position completely know God as He is, nor be capable of defining His being: (b) But notwithstanding this God is known to us by certain manifestations, as possessing certain attributes, or modes of Laing, the conception of which is possble to us, and these modes represent Him so far as they go: (c) We conceive of each of these attritutes as being possessed by God, in a sense, beyond degree; therefore our conception of these attributes is indefinite ard incapable of being fully defined: (4) But we may be said to define our ilea of God when we furnish a compreFnsive statement of all the attributes of God that are revealed to us in Scripture, and in the form in which they are conceived of by our finite understandings: God has been defined as the rò ov, Absolute Being, and the rò nav, the All-universal Being, which is the Pantheistic view: 1) Self-existent, Absolute, Infinite Spit, which is the Deistic view: (8') Blessed: I TIMOTHY vi. 15. 13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; 14 that thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 15 which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 16 who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. (') Perfect: MATT. v. 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. (s′) Self-sufficient : GEN. xvii. 1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. (C) Eternal: PSALM XC. 2. 1 LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. 2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. (n) Unchangeable: MAL. iii. 6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. JAMES i. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (0) Incomprehensible: I KINGS viii. 27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded? (i) Omnipresent: PSALM CXXXix. 10 LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. 7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10 even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. 13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. 12 The historical: (The scriptural: 3 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the which may be known of God is manifest truth in unrighteousness; 19 because that in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse : 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their darkened. imaginations, and their foolish heart was (e) Further arguments for the being of God based upon : (a) Universal sense of dependence: 32. What is Atheism, and how far is it possible? (a) It is the denial of God: (b) Possible only through sin, which begets ignorance, and blindness, and deafness, and deadness: ROM. i. 21 Because that, when they knew See further chapters vii. and viii.: God, they glorified him not as |
