Knowledge of God Flashcards
Humans have innate knowledge of God
Known innately
Revealed is required for deeper knowledge
Complementary relationship
evaluate the view that God can not be known from creation
can be known by observation
revealed can be stronger
mistake to favour one source
to what extent is faith the only way to know God
Faith is a means but risks fideism alone
Requires regulation in other forms of revelation
complementary relationship of reason and faith
True KOG is revealed in the person of Jesus Christ
Natural made unreliable by the fall
Is through Christ but still has limits
Both to avoid fideism
Fall completely removed any natural K
Still useful but limited
Revelation is better but still limited
Dangerous to rely on one alone, use both
Natural is the same as revealed
Clearly not, limits of NT but useful for baseline
Revealed shows a far more intimate relationship
Not the same but should be used together
