Q

Monarchianism

A

• Term used to describe the belief that emphasizes the undivided unity and sovereignty of God. It rejects distinctions of persons (doctrine of the trinity). There are two very different (polar opposite) beliefs that fall in this category.

i. Dynamic monarchianism – this denies the full deity of Jesus and positions Him as a subordinate God while professing that the fullness of God is manifest in Jesus.
ii. Modalistic monarchianism – God is indivisibly one and declares a full deity of Jesus. AKA “Jesus only” and “New Issue”.

Q

Hypostasis

A

• Greek – usually translated as “person”. The trinity would define Father, Son, Holy Ghost as 3 different persons or hypostases. Oneness theology upholds that Jesus has more than one nature but is one hypostasis. And Hebrews 1:3 states that the Son is the express image of God’s hypostasis as opposed to a second hypostasis.

39
Q

Universal belief.

41
Q

Teleological

A

The argument from design. The structure of nature proves that there is not only a maker but a designer – a Creator and Architect.

42
Q

Anthropological

A

The moral argument. Our intellect, moral nature, conscience, emotional nature must have an anti-type: A creator who is intellectual, moral, etc.

43
Q

Scriptural

A

Scripture does not attempt to prove the existence of God; it assumes, asserts and declares it.

44
Q

50
Q

Give two New Testament scriptures that prove Jesus was the Creator.

A
  • Hebrews 3:3-6

* John 1:10-11

51
Q

Hebrews 3:3-6

A

For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

52
Q

John 1:10-11

A

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

58
Q

That Jesus was only a man who was greatly anointed and used by the Spirit

60
Q

Docetism

A

That Jesus was a spirit being only

61
Q

Cerinthianism

A

Christ was divine being who temporarily dwelt in Jesus beginning at His baptism but withdrew from the man Jesus just before his death

62
Q

Dynamic Monarchianism, Adoptionism

A

Jesus was a man who became God only at some point in His adult life – such at His baptism – as a result as an adoptive act by God.

63
Q

Arianism

A

Jesus was a created diety – inferior to God/ like a demigod.

64
Q

What title emphasizes the divine nature of Jesus?

A

“Son of God” emphasizes the divine nature of Jesus.

65
Q

What title emphasizes the human nature of Jesus?

A

“Son of Man” emphasizes the human nature of Jesus.

66
Q

What three things can we conclude about the use of the term “Son of God”?

A
  • We cannot use it apart from the humanity of Christ, for the phrase always refers to the flesh or to the Spirit of God in flesh.
  • Son is always used with reference to time, for the Sonship had a beginning and will have an ending
  • As God, Jesus had all power, but as the Son He was limited in power.
67
Q

In what two ways does “God the Father” apply to God?

A
  • God is the Father; He is not merely the father of the Son but the Father of all creation
  • He is also our Father by reason of the new birth.
68
Q

What does the term “Son of God” refer to?

A

• The term “Son of God” refers to God as manifested in the flesh in the person of Jesus Christ for the salvation of humanity.

69
Q

Do we believe the Father is the Son? Explain

A

• We do not believe the Father is the Son BUT that the Father is in the Son. The Son died – but the Father did not die. The deity in the Son, IS the Father. Since Jesus is the name of the Son of God, both as to His deity as Father and as to His humanity as Son, it is the name of both the Father and the Son.

70
Q

What three scriptures join together to prove that the Father is the Holy Ghost?

A
  • John 3:16 says God is the Father of Jesus Christ, and Jesus referred to the Father as His own Father many times (John 5:17-18). Yet Matthew 1:18-20 and Luke 1:35 plainly reveal that the Holy Ghost is the Father of Jesus Christ.
  • Joel 2:27-29 records the words of Jehovah God: “I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh.” Peter applied this verse of Scripture of the baptism of the Holy Ghost on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4, 16-18).
  • The Bible calls the Holy Spirit the “Spirit of the Lord” (Isaiah 40:13), the Spirit of God (Genesis 1:2), and the Spirit of the Father (Matthew 10:20). Since there is only one Spirit, all of these phrases must refer to the same being. The Holy Spirit is none other than Jehovah God and none other than the Father.
71
Q

What scripture joins with Joel 2:27,28 to prove that Father and the Holy Ghost refers to the same person?

A

• (Acts 2:16-17) But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

72
Q

List three pairs of parallel verses which reveal that the Spirit of Christ is the Holy Ghost.

A
  • The Spirit of Christ was in the prophets of Old (1 Peter 1:10-11); The Holy Ghost moved on the prophets of old (2 Peter 1:21)
  • Jesus will raise the believer from death (John 6:40); the Spirit will quicken the dead (Romans 8:11)
  • The Spirit is our intercessor (Romans 8:26); Jesus is our intercessor (Hebrews 7:25)
73
Q

Could Jesus sin? Explain.

A

• Scripture tells us that Jesus was fully God and fully man. Through his lineage and the Immaculate Conception, we realize he did not inherit the sinful nature of man as was passed down from Adam and Eve. He was however, born with human will. We hear this through his prayer in the Garden, “not my will but yours be done”. In other words, even though he was fully God, in His humanity, he could have chosen to go against God’s will and follow His own human will. His example of obedience and submission shows us that His divine nature took charge over his human nature even in the face of multiple temptations. His divine nature made it impossible for Him to sin.

74
Q

Define Ebionitism

A

• A false belief originating with first century Jewish Christians who regarded Jesus as a divinely inspired prophet but not God in the flesh. They rejected the teachings of Paul and emphasized the Law of Moses.

75
Q

Define Gnosticism

A

• The belief that all matter is evil, that the spirit is good, and that salvation is achieved by deliverance from matter by some higher power or being. The god of this belief is unapproachable but there are layers/levels beneath him as a means to connect with him. They believe that Jesus was a spirit only and that he inhabited the physical person who died.

76
Q

Define Logos

A

• Literally translated from Greek - means “word”. John 1:1 translated as “Word” means the mind, thought, plan, activity, utterance, or expression of God. It may be the unexpressed thought of God or the expressed thought of God as in flesh through Jesus Christ.

77
Q

Define Monothelistism

A

• (aka Monotheletism) 7th century doctrine that taught Jesus had only one divine-human will. This differs from the majority view that Christ had two cooperating wills (human and divine).

78
Q

Define Subordinationism

A

The belief, in accordance with a belief of plurality of persons in the Godhead, that one person in the Godhead is subordinate to or was created by another person in the Godhead.

79
Q

Define Patripassianism

A

• The name given to modalistic monarchianism which comes from the Latin words that mean, “the Father suffered”. It has been misinterpreted by Trinitarians to mean that God, Himself, suffered and died but that is not what modalism teaches. Modalism teaches that the Father is in the Son (as opposed to the Father is the son). The flesh was not the Father, the Father was in the flesh.

80
Q

Define doctrine

A

Doctrine is a group of foundational truths or principles in a particular belief system. As apostolic, our doctrine is taken exclusively from the Bible because it is the only book that is written in complete truth.

81
Q

What word basically means the same as doctrine?

A

Theology and doctrine share the same basic meaning. Doctrine comes from the Greek didaskalia which refers to both the physical act of teaching as well as what is being taught. Theology refers to teaching/studying about God.

82
Q

What does systematic theology emphasize?

A

Systematic Theology takes a holistic approach. A theologian taking this approach would thoroughly study the bible on a given topic and idea and then organize the information to present a comprehensive look /summary of that topic.

83
Q

What does biblical theology emphasize?

A

Biblical Theology emphasizes history. In this approach, one would take a particular subject and study the era/timeframe in which it happened, as well as the historical significance/meaning of that particular event. The theologian would then study how doctrine was affected by those events.

84
Q

List five advantages the study of doctrine offers.

A
  • Doctrine will keep us from spiritual error.
  • Doctrine will help us to keep a steady focus on the path we are on and the end goal of an eternity with Jesus. It “settles” us.
  • Doctrine reveals God’s eternal plan.
  • Doctrinal study helps to bring God’s approval to us
  • A strong doctrinal foundation will help us stand during the challenges of the end time.
85
Q

How was “spirituality” defined in Chapter One?

A

In Chapter 1, spirituality was defined as “Man’s contact with God’s reality through his own spirit, his sensitivity to the Holy Spirit’s leadership, his acceptance of the worship of Jesus Christ, his positive relationship with the body of Christ, and his understanding of how to possess his vessel with honor (maintain a Christian lifestyle in a hostile environment).”

86
Q

What is a “subjective experience,” and why can’t we base our beliefs on them?

A

Subjective experience is one’s own personal encounter/experience with God. It comes in many forms and is unique to the individual. Beliefs cannot be based on subjective experiences because they are exactly that – subjective. They come from a one sided vantage point and are based on experience as opposed to fact. Formulating a system of beliefs or doctrine based on individual experience will always lead to error because it contains the element of humanity. The only reliable source for basing our beliefs is the Bible because it is the infallible word of God. Personal experience is a good start to build faith but it must be coupled with sound study of the word in order to form a firm foundation in truth as the individual grows to maturity and understanding.

87
Q

What scripture states that the truly spiritual person will acknowledge that the Epistles are not personal opinions and optional but are “commandments of the Lord”?

A

I Corinthians 14:37 states, “If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things I write unto you are commandments of the Lord.”

88
Q

Define Christology

A

Broken down, Christology is the learning or teaching about Christ.

89
Q

Define Monotheism

A

Monotheism is the belief in only one God. It comes from the Greek words monos meaning alone, single, one; and theos meaning God. Although, generically speaking, Christians are considered monotheists, there are several doctrines within Christiandom that teach the Godhead with multiple “persons in unity” whether that be biitariansim (Two persons in the Godhead but one God) or trinitarianism (three persons in the Godhead but one God). Both weaken and present confusion to the strict monotheism that is taught in the Bible.

90
Q

Define Polytheism

A

Polytheism is the belief in more than one god. Hinduism and Buddhism are examples of two religions that have a foundational belief in multiple gods.
