We continue our introduction to the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. Ryan reminds us of some of the basics of divine naming, and the important of first treating "father," "son," and "holy spirit" as predicates before proceeding to use them as proper or personal names.
Key Takeaways:
1. In God, all are one except where relation of opposition intervenes.
2. Relations make the Trinity.
3. Relations are a certain "towardness."
4. The fath...
In this episode we begin a new series on the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. We focus especially on how we come to know that God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in contrast to how we might come to know other truths about God (that He exists, is incorporeal, etc.).
In this episode we review and explore some of the more challenging aspects of saying relative names of God.
In this episode we continue our study of "relations" and how to say relative names of God (Creator, Lord, etc.).
In this episode we begin a new topic of how to say certain Relative Names of God, such as "God is Creator," "God is Lord," and so forth.
We conclude our study of Moses Maimonides treatment of metaphorical names by looking at "Begetting" and "Abiding."

In this episode we pause to answer a handful of listener questions. You can send your questions to aaron@christcovenantcentralia.com and we may answer them when we do our next Q&A episode.

Hence, if we attribute to God something found in creatures, we must entirely remove everything that smacks of imperfection so that only what is perfect will remain; for it is only according to its perfection that a creature imitates God. I point out, therefore, that our scientific knowledge contains both some perfe...
Key Takeaway
When it comes to positive divine names, we can distinguish between:
1) Simple Perfections (no negation needed)
2) Mixed Perfections (some negation needed, remove the aspect of imperfection and retain the perfection)
3) Metaphorical/Symbolic Names (total negation of predicate, ie. "God is a rock, lion, wrath, other passions, etc..")
