SysTheo end Quarter 2 Exam Guides
The Athanasian Creed begins:
Whoever desires to be saved should above all hold to the catholic faith.
Anyone who does not keep it whole and unbroken will doubtless perish eternally.
Now this is the catholic faith:
That we worship one God in trinity and the trinity in unity,
neither blending their persons
nor dividing their essence.
For the person of the Father is a distinct person,
the person of the Son is another,
and that of the Holy Spirit still another.
But the divinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is one,
their glory equal, their majesty coeternal.
This call is tremendous . . . If you do not believe in the Trinity, you are not “saved?!?” Well, since we are reconciled to the Father, through the Blood of the Son, by the Power of the Spirit; since this reality was created by and sustained by God, Father, Son and Spirit; since we are to baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Spirit – you can see why that elder brother of ours said that. Think about it . . .

SysTheo Slide Packs on Why/How we study Theology and Theology Proper: The Nature of God
We have had some GREAT discussions so far and are this day burdened a bit by the Sovereignty of God. I bring us back to Lewis’ statement in Hid book, “Till we have Faces“:
“Holy places are dark places. It is life and strength, not knowledge and words, that we get in them. Holy wisdom is not clear and thin like water, but thick and dark like blood.”
Let’s continue to think and pray and celebrate and worship our richly complex and beautiful God – the only God there is.
