This week we discuss “Proof Texting” and the difference between reading the Bible as a collection of proof texts versus reading it as a coherent story, understanding the nature of God and salvation, the judgment seat of Christ, the appearance of God’s glory in scripture, God’s purpose for creating the nation of Israel, the poetic nature of the book of Isaiah, doing all unto the glory of the Lord, God’s glory in the age to come, diminishing God and elevating man, the reconciliation of heaven and earth, the things before creation recorded in the Bible, how God got glory and why, and God’s ultimate purpose for creation.

Reply

This week we will examine the question of God’s ultimate purpose for the creation, and mankind especially. “Did God create the universe and mankind for the purpose of glorifying Himself? Or was it for love? or was there some other purpose?” And furthermore, what exactly is glory? What exactly is love? And can we better comprehend the purpose of the creation, in hopes of having a better relationship with our Creator, and of being a better witness for Him.

We’ll do our best to define glory, look at the concept of glory in the historical narrative of the creation week, the first mention of glory in the scripture, how glory relates to men, how glory relates to the relationship between god and man, Moses choice between law and grace, and Moses’ sarcastic reference to glory in Exodus.

This week we’ll examine searches for the location of the Red Sea crossing, physical evidence and spiritual belief, and God’s message to Pharaoh that hardened his heart. We’ll examine the type of faith miracles produce, the process of belief in a fallen & proud world, the miracles of Jesus, and walking by faith and not by sight. We’ll hear the Israelites accuse Moses and God of evil, consider the superstition of the ancients versus modern Christian rationality, witness the parting of the Red Sea, and analyze the Egyptian’s cry of God’s name in their defeat.
