Answers to Document B, Eric Farrow: 1. God is the creator of the universe and all things. Because He created time, He is unchanging. He is the same today, yesterday, 4000 years ago, and 4000 years into the future. God is not surprised by history or human actions. God is eternal, meaning not simply that He lives forever but that He has always existed. God is bound to His promises and His curses because having created the law, He is perfect and is unable to break them, unlike us in our sinful nature. God is triune, meaning that He is one God composed of three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God The Holy Spirit.

I pray many are saved before the return of Christ, and it is one of my motivations to become a tent-maker/missionary in Japan.

    The religions of japan are very different from what most Americans are used to. For example, Christianity in America focuses on one God, while the main religion of Japan, Shintoism, believes that everything has a spirit and in a way everything is “god”. Although my first instinct was to avoid anything resembles these practices, my situation forced me to realize that their religion is part of their culture, and although I do not have to participate in their rituals, it is important to respect the beliefs of others. Hostility to opposing beliefs is very dangerous but to change this, a change of perspective is

  • Swinburne's Existence Of A Triune God: Chapter Analysis

    1086 Words  | 5 Pages

    In the first chapter, the metaphysical grounds for Swinburne’s concept of a triune God have been examined and reached the conclusion that there is a higher probability of the existence of a divine individual. In the second chapter, Swinburne’s reasons for considering if there is a divine individual, then there must be three and exactly three divine individuals were presented.

John attests to the eternal Divinity of Jesus Christ in the opening verses of his book: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
