The attributes of the great God

1. Introduction

The Triune God is a relational God. God is the source of life and is working to share his divine life with his people. We also ask questions about His attributes to get to know God deeper. The God who created this world is self-existing and has various attributes. Find out what attributes you have and see how they come to us and have a practical meaning.

2. Main subject

God's attributes are generally divided into two categories. It has non-shared attributes such as self-esteem, immutability, infinity, and unity, and is a shared attribute that includes sovereignty in knowledge, wisdom, honesty, goodness, holiness, righteousness, will and ability. God's essence is omnipotence, holiness, and love. The essential attribute means the essence of God and is God Himself. The relational attribute is the story of God's relationship with man and the existence of God. The personality attribute means the human personality such as intelligence, affection, and righteousness in the relationship between God and human beings, and the moral attribute is the attribute that occurs in meeting and governing in creation. God's attributes as an eternal God include ubiquity, omniscience, and omnipotence. God is the Spirit and is perfect alone as one who transcends time and space. He is also glorified by beings who are self-conscious, personal, and social. The living God is the source of life and the one who cannot be measured as I am who I am, and God is omniscient because all things are direct and original to God and present. In addition, God knows the world as an Almighty, one who can complete his plan for creation, who judges the created world and brings salvation to the world. Judgment and salvation are eschatological realities. As the immutable being who sees our suffering and is with us, He is the God of the Trinity.

The good God wants to relate to us, is morally pure, holy, unique, absolutely pure, perfect, self-respect, simplicity, infinity and power, goodness and mercy. He is also just, and God's law is perfect and just when God's holiness is related to us. God judges our sins as just, God is the true God, who has the authenticity of the true appearance, and His Word reveals the essence of man and things as truth. Since God is honest in nature, He is approaching the people honestly, so we must approach Him honestly. He is also a faithful man who fulfills his promises thoroughly and perfectly. He also loves us who are not qualified by love, and by giving grace freely according to the needs of the people, we become his children by faith. God is merciful and long-suffering. We can be saved by His patience.

Our response to these attributes of God is a joy to God and awe in praise. It also gives us courage to lead us in bold prayer and to act boldly in faith. God calls us to the eschatological plan of salvation, and the means we give us are acts of earnest supplication and obedience. Through prayer and action, we can be used to bring the power of the kingdom of God into the place of present life in a supernatural way. The God of love responds to creation world with long-suffering and compassion. This serves as a model for our ministry, and we who resemble the Lord of compassion must likewise make compassion our character toward others. However, holy mercy does not come from us, but from love, which must be created in us by the work of the Holy Spirit, so that we can participate in God's work.

3. Conclusion

As Christians, we need to know that God exists with a diachronic ubiquity and is in a complete and complete state as a whole, and we believe that God will overcome evil and create a new order at the time of completion. Also, the good God is holy in that he is just in all things, but he is slow to anger and treats creation with mercy. Both God's essence and God's character are love, but we must boldly participate in God's eschatological and straight-forward redemptive ministry by asking the Holy Spirit to sigh and ask for a wonderful change in mercy and love. Amen.

Christian theological view and the theological meaning of human creation

1. Introduction

We have one identity. Because we believe that the Creator God is the origin of our personal existence and the human nature we are called to share. To this end, we will explain the theological prospects of our identity under the premise that we are open creatures to the world. We will first look at the nature of mankind, and then we will discuss our identity under the biblical and theological concept that it was built'in the image of God'. The main purpose of God's creation is to glorify God and make him happy forever. God's intention is for us to participate in the eschatological kingdom of God, the glorious community of mankind and God. Therefore, when we show God's reign to the world through life, the eschatological community God intends to become can become a present reality.

2. Main subject

[Christian view of humanity]

Human origin is God's act of creation. God made man with deliberate action. According to determinism, creative humanity is the product of any forces other than humans. The choices we make are scheduled and even decided. Humans have a dimension of eternity, so there is a starting and starting point. Human beings are made of earth, so the beginning is clear and we can see the future in God. Because God, the Creator, has given human values, human beings as creatures can be satisfied when they serve and love the Creator. God's image is inherent in human beings that no other creature has, and human beings are not human without God's image. By grasping the concept of God's image, we can infer the destiny of our humans, which God has planned.

We have the meaning of'being built in God's image' in that we have accepted God's plan and are not only fulfilling it now, but will someday realize it fully. In addition, humans have a personal relationship with God the Creator, so humans love God and must answer when God calls. The image of God is related in a special way among Christians. In other words, those who are united with Christ share God's image through that unity. However, this voluntary participation is not stagnant but dynamic. The transformation into God's image is a series of processes that begins with conversion and continues to that great eschatological renewal that will bring us a perfect match with God's image.

[Theological meaning of human creation]

The Creator God created man means that man is not an independent being. Man was created on the sixth day as part of God's creation, and the seventh day is the rest day, so the sixth day can be seen as the last day of creation. There is continuity in the creation. The creatures created from the first to sixth days of creation are ecologically connected, so everything in this world is a huge family. Because of the Creator God, man is not the most superior object in the universe. It is only creation by the Creator. Therefore, human beings are finite and cannot live for a moment without God. We must acknowledge this finiteness and live with each other to help, cooperate, and live. Humans are in a unique position in creation, and between these humans is the relationship of brothers and sisters in God.

The faith community describes the basic relationship between God and the world in two terms:'Creator' and'Creation'. As Christians, we are primarily concerned with the special relationship God wants to share with his moral creatures. Our existence itself is a testimony to God's existence. We owe our existence to the Creator God. We exist only because God has given us existence according to the free grace and the freedom to offer His grace. The confession of faith, “Our origin is in God,” means that God is the basis of human existence. Not only the personal life itself, but the meaning of our lives is not inherent to us. We take the meaning of an individual's life from reality beyond ourselves. Because God gives us meaning. And this implication is directly related to God's intended goal, destiny. Finding the right meaning is the mission of our believers.

3. Conclusion

Since God created man to interact with man in community, man's values ​​must be defined by the Creator God, serve and love him. God has chosen us in Christ before the creation of the world, and has predestined us to be His sons through Jesus Christ, to make us holy and without blemish before him in love (Ephesians 1:4-5). Thus, the image of God is related in a special way among Christians in Christ. Those who are united with Christ share the image of God through that unity and continue to the great eschatological renewal. Human beings are finite and cannot live for a moment without God. We must acknowledge this finiteness and work together to live for God's grand salvation plan, the salvation of the community. Only God can give us the value of existence.

Christian conversion

1. Introduction

The beginning of personal salvation is conversion through the Holy Spirit. Conversion is the holy approach to God and the rebirth of a new life with a break from the previous fallen state. It can be defined as not only a great deal of a lifetime with the Trinity God, but also a life-changing encounter. Conversion consists of repentance and faith. Repentance is the turning of the unbeliever from sin, and faith is moving toward Christ. Here, we first look at the relationship between conversion and regeneration in the salvation process. In addition, while grasping the components of conversion, we examine how the Holy Spirit works in the conversion process from a personal and community perspective.

2. Main subject

When called by God, it goes through the process of conversion. In the salvation of individuals, whether rebirth comes first or conversion comes first is the main criterion between Calvinism (rebirth) and Arminianism (conversion). Wesleyan considers conversion to be a necessary condition for regeneration. In other words, explain that if God repents and believes in God's grace, God will save and transform him. In looking at the Bible's testimonies, there are many verses that indicate that conversion is before regeneration. The appeals of'repentance' to those who hear the gospel certainly imply that conversion leads to regeneration. You can also see that conversion precedes rebirth when judged by Paul in the Philippi prison, "Trust in the Lord Jesus, and you and your house will be saved." In any case, when we are called by God to become children of faith, and when we move our steps toward God, an important part is conversion.

Looking at the personal side of conversion, conversion has repentance and faith. Repentance is a concept that sincerely repents of sins and turns and changes behavior by returning to the one true God, while faith is a procedural concept that is finally completed through the stages of knowledge, consent, and trust. When we realize our sins and turn back, God sees us accepting Christ by faith, and passes us the righteousness of Christ to us by saying “just” to us. There are three elements of conversion. 1) True repentance involves, first of all, a knowledge of God's holiness and dignity. 2) Emotional change follows conversion, and if we go before a holy and just God, those who fear God will mourn their sins. 3) As a willing element of conversion, it means that through conversion, the purpose changes, and the inner distant from sin, while the tendency to seek forgiveness and purity appears.

If conversion is divided into aspects of external change, there are ethnic conversion, temporary conversion, and repeated conversion. Ethnic conversion appears as a moral renewal, and temporary conversion appears without any psychic change, but with some transitional change. Repetitive conversion means that a temporary conversion is repeated. A person who has been truly converted will live a life devoted to striving to live that life according to God's will. This conversion is created by God and is also our response to that grace. We must continue to repent throughout our lives in the process of sanctification. In the conversion process, there is the work of the Holy Spirit working in the whole process of salvation. It is the consistent claim of the disciples who wrote the New Testament that salvation can never be achieved by human effort alone.

The Holy Spirit gives us a sense of sin (Holy Spirit's illumination). The Holy Spirit calls us to God, even though we are sinners, illuminates the hearts of those who hear the Gospel, so that we can see the revealed truth of God, and enable us to repent and believe so we can respond to the Gospel. If the focus of the Holy Spirit's illumination ministry is on the mind, then the power of the Holy Spirit is related to our will. The individual's response to the gospel through the work of the Holy Spirit is not isolated, but in the context of a community of faith. In the process of conversion, the importance of the community of faith centered on the proclamation of the gospel cannot be overstated. The church serves as an intermediary for converting individual human beings through the proclamation of the Gospel, and also integrates them into new communities. The integration of an individual into the community of the church through conversion means the process of accepting a new frame of awareness and making the frame of awareness of the Christian community own.

3. Conclusion

God chose us in Christ before the creation of the world to make us holy and unblemished before him in love (Ephesians 1:4). The Holy Spirit works in the whole process of salvation, converting us and constantly repenting and moving forward in the life of sanctification. This enables us to respond to the gospel and participate in God's grand plan, eschatological redemption history, in the community context of believers. Amen.

Biblical Linguistics - 6. The Sumerian Languages' Origin

The claims of where the Sumerians come from are usually divided into three categories. The first is that it is from Anatola, Turkey, the second is from Asia, and the third is that it is an alien. The claim that it came from Turkey would be true if some of Noah's descendants, who settled there after the Ark arrived on Turkey's Ararat mountain after the flood, descended back to Lower Mesopotamia. However, considering that the language is an agglutinative language, it seems more convincing to claim that it came from the Asian region, mainly in the Tianshan Mountains and the Altai Mountains. Analysis of the Bible reveals that Noah's eldest son Shem's fourth generation, Belek and Jokdan, was scattered around the world by race and race. Belek and Joktan were descendants of Shem, and the fact that the world had been split from this point would mean that Shem's descendants were divided into two. The Tower of Babel happened around this time. According to the Bible, Nimrod, Ham's second grandson, was the first man to promote the Tower of Babel as the world's first warrior. Given that his country originated in Babel, Erek, Akgad, and Galet, it is likely that Ham's descendants remained in Babel and formed an urban state. At this time, Belek and Yoktan were also divided, so Belek may have remained or moved to another region.

Some say that the origins of Sumer are 'mer' (country of Shem), while others say that Shem is the origin of Sumer's. To argue this, a more logical explanation of the language transition process is needed. Sumer, pronounced Sumer in English, seems more plausible from an etymological origin of the Hebrew word "shamar"(remain, keep). The active participle of "shamar" is the "somer", but in the grammatical rules of the Hebrew grammar, the ‘u’ and ‘o’ in the vowel triangle are often compatible. Then, the meanings of Somer and Sumer are'remnants' or'the keeping people'. So, the Sumerians weren't the people who stayed in the Altai Mountains and descended to Mesopotamia, where the descendants of Joktan settled down? In this way, some of the descendants of Jokdan who lived in the'mountain east of Mesa to Svalle' may have descended back to Mesopotamia and become'remnants'. It is also said that the old name of Seoul has evolved into Sval ---> Svual ---> Seoul. Svual should write'ㆍ', the missing Korean alphabet. The etymological analysis of Seoul will make it more accurate at the next opportunity. Recently, some historical scholars in Korea presume that Jokdan is “Dangun,” the ancestor of the Korean people, and they agree with the claim that their country occupied a large portion of the Chinese continent, including India from the Tianshan Mountains.

The basis for this claim is that there are the following'Summer's eight Korean elements': ① racially dark hair, small height, flat head  ② using lunar calendar ③ using the 'sunjang'(burial of the living with the dead) system ④ using agglutinative language ⑤ cuneiform ⑥ sexagesimal system ⑦ color No pottery use ⑧ Sharing of the tomb system. In addition to this, you can add ⑨ a a game of yut culture ⑩ counting ⑪ topnot culture ⑫ Korean wrestling. Among them, the most important factors for distinguishing the same race or ethnicity are'linguistic similarity' and'number counting', and there must be a convincing common factor in these two points. There are two common elements in Sumerian culture and Korean culture. As an agglutinative language, Sumerian and Korean have the same meaning and are pronounced the same or more than 500 words. Among them, the verb is said to be over 300 words. There is also a vowel harmony phenomenon. Not only are the two languages ​​the same, given the word order, the object, and the verb, but also the incomplete nouns (dependent nouns) such as'~thing' and'~only' in Korean. In the Samguksagi of Kim Boo-shik, there are records of the old numbers that remain in the central part of Korea today.

These theories are still a hypothesis. And some theories have a biblical basis, and some are unfolded theories. This paper will comprehensively organize these achievements to date and analyze them step-by-step and systematically based on the Bible, and will make good suggestions for related academics. Based on these studies, it is hoped that a more accurate analysis of language and history will be made.

Understanding the essence of the Trinitarian Church

1. Introduction

The church is a covenant people. The term'Ecclesia (people called out)' expresses this well. On the other hand, looking at the nature of the Trinity Church, it refers to the Church as the Kingdom of God, the Church as the Body of Christ, and the Church as the Temple of the Holy Spirit, each of which is associated with a member of the Trinity God Let us examine the three elements in turn.

2. Main subject

The New Testament says the church belongs to God and a holy priest. Just as Israel was chosen as God's people, the New Testament church now enjoys that relationship. The church is made up of God's people. Christ was recognized as a church by presently working in the church. The church is a church is the proclamation and expansion of the gospel centered on Christ in the history of God. In the Old Testament, Israel was identified with God's people, and the people God called, gathered, and chose were Israel. In the New Testament, God called not only Jews, but Gentiles as God's people. God cares for the people, keeps them like pupils, and wants them to be loyal to God. There are Old Testament circumcision and the Ark of the Covenant, and the New Testament inner circumcision (heart circumcision). The traits required of God's people are holiness, sanctification, and the Church of the Bride of Christ must be holy.

The New Testament also says that the church is the body of Christ with Christ as the head. The Church as the body of Christ emphasizes the unity of Christ with the Church, the gathering place of the saints and the place where Christ is now active. The saint is a member of the body, nourished in Christ and grows in it. The owner of the church is Christ, and the church must be ruled and followed by Christ's guidance. It exists only to do the will of Christ, and in this respect the Church is the presence of Christ in the world. Like the human body, the church is a unity of diversity. True fellowship goes beyond self-interest, unites the true and close sympathy of Christ and the saints, Christ and the Church, and is baptized with one Holy Spirit to form one body (unified body). Applicable to all who enter the church, all human barriers must be removed from the church and participate in the mission of the gospel, the last mission of the Lord (the Great Commission) through the work of Christ. Not all members have the same function, but everyone has the same goal. Everyone should be interested in other members, and use their gifts to serve the whole.

The church is the temple of the Holy Spirit. In Israel, if the temple was in a little special way, God's presence, the focus of God's presence is no longer a special building, but a fellowship, or community, of God's people. The presence of the Holy Spirit among us has important ethical implications. We must live a holy life because we are the transformation of the Holy Spirit. It is God the Father after the Pentecostal event that made the church as the temple of the Holy Spirit indwell, not only in the individual but also in the community. Those who are empowered to be children of God who have received Jesus Christ must bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit. When we live together with the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit comes into us. God also confers power on the church. The church can fulfill its mission with the power and power of God the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit also gives unity to the church, not only working to build a sense of community, “we,” and to respond sensitively to the Lord's guidance, but also to lead the Church at the will of the Holy Spirit. God gives the gift of the Holy Spirit to individuals and church communities as a gift for the church. Eventually, the sovereignty of the Church is Jesus Christ and God, and the Church is governed by God and is sanctified and purified by Him.

3. Conclusion

As people of the kingdom of God, we deserve to be holy and constantly go through the process of sanctification. The church is the body of Christ, headed by Christ. We are to be united with Him as members of Christ. Also, the church is the temple of the Holy Spirit. It is the Father (God) after the Pentecostal event that made the Church as the temple of the Holy Spirit present, and confers power to the church, not only in the individual but also in the community. In conclusion, the church chosen by God is nurtured by the saint Christ and sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

Faith is a process of sanctification through personal faith and godly living, but it is also a community guided by God's economic providence. Community salvation is a concept above the salvation of individuals. The problem is, in a phenomenal situation like the reality of the present, it is a question of how to maintain the faith of the community and the salvation of the community while maintaining the individual's faith. This worldwide pandemic situation may stop after a certain period of time, but we must see that another pandemic will continue in the future. The book of Revelation predicts that this tribulation will continue until Jesus comes. It is time to gather the stops of the believing brothers.

Biblical Linguistics – 5. The Sumerian Origins and Civilizations

We study the history of the nation of Israel in order to study the Bible, and we cannot ignore Israel's pre-history beginning with Abraham and Isaac. In fact, the appearance of the Hebrews took place long after human civilization began. It may be difficult to realize, but the time interval from the beginning of civilization in the Near East to the beginning of Israel is farther than the time interval from Abraham to our time. Israel's pre-history is still a presumption, not a sure theory. Therefore, we want to define through biblical reasoning based on the Bible.

We are not archaeologically and biologically trying to trace prehistoric history. It is beyond the scope of this paper. Developing discussions in the Biblical archaeological scope will fit the subject. However, the chronology of biblical archeology itself is already controversial. For example, the controversy over whether the seven days of Genesis is actually seven days or a certain period is symbolically described as one day. Judging from geological data, Noah's Flood would be between 4,000 and 3,000 years B.C. The question then becomes how to get the period from Adam to Noah. Therefore, we will begin the discussion based on Noah's Flood.

The Sumerian civilization is at the heart of Israel's history. They founded civilization in the lower part of Mesopotamia, and they are one of the mysteries of human history that led to brilliant civilization. The advanced civilization has continued to lead the absurd claim that the Sumerians are aliens. It is only possible to guess what race they came from and where they came from. In the inscriptions excavated in the ruins, they are described as "a short-beard, short, flat-headed people." It can be inferred that it looks similar to the Asian.

Also, the language used is agglutinative language, which can be found only in Korean and Japanese, including the Altai. In the meantime, in Western linguistics, the Sumerian deadlock was considered a language unparalleled. On the other hand, the origin of Korean and Japanese was not known in the East because there were no languages ​​worldwide that used agglutinative languages ​​such as Korean and Japanese. However, it has been argued that the Sumerian wedge character is deciphered, and that the Sumerian is an ancient Korean family and that the Sumerian is related to the Korean language.

In Mesopotamia there were not only Sumerians, but also Semitic inhabitants called Akkadians. These were semi-nomads who had lived in the northwest of Sumer from an early age. They used Semitic (Akkadian) languages ​​that were completely different from Sumerian, but used wedge syllables to describe the language. It was impossible to distinguish between Sumerian and Semitic elements in Mesopotamia religion because these two races were mixed around B.C.3,000. Subsequent thesis examines the origins of the Sumerians, the Sumerians who have been racially and linguistically followed.

[1] Also called an affixing language. It has an intermediate characteristic between isolated words and inflected words, and the affix is combined with the root to indicate the function of each word in the sentence. Also, unlike in the case of inflected words, there is no change in language in the stem.

Preaching other religions-Islam

Born in Mecca in the Middle East in the late 6th century, Muhammad founded Islam with Mecca as a holy land in the early 7th century. The Islamic law of'Sharia' consists of the four elements of the Koran, Hadith, Dias and Izma. The planned and explosive growth poses the greatest threat to the Christian world. In their scriptures, the Koran, you can find that “all who do not follow our religion will be killed”, verses that legalize abuse or sexual crimes against women, or that are full of contradictions. Because of this wrong religion, good Muslims who cannot count are being oppressed and suffering. We must lead them in the way of salvation through proper missionary methods.

On the other hand, we must be vigilant and deal with the threat of the destruction of Christianity through Islam. Many civilized prophets predict the Muslim occupation of the Christian state, and their active and planned missionary work is beyond imagination. For preaching, as well as marrying people from the country, they are forgiven even if they lie to the point, and they expand their power by mobilizing all kinds of methods, including cruel punishment for the apostate and 'the Koran in one hand and the cruel conquest in one hand'. We must publicize and cope with the dangers. Of course, there may be a reason why God permits this Muslim expansion. In fact, Muslims share the Old Testament with Christianity and Judaism. As the Jews are converted in the last days, Muslims are saved if they accept Jesus Christ as their Savior. We need to believe in God's economic providence and keep our Christian role.

The missionary contact method is possible by awakening their wrong doctrine. First of all, the Koran's description of the basic ideas of Christianity in a passive way reveals that it is a Gnostic heresy that was practiced in the Arabian Peninsula at the time and preached that this is not a Christian orthodox faith. By doing this, we seek the way of mission, and the other way, we approach the issue of Christ's uniqueness and Christian exclusivity in an active way. To this end, the numerous prophecies of the Old Testament tell us that only through'Jesus Christ' has been fulfilled, the death and 'resurrection of the ransom.' It must be made clear that there is no one but Jesus who has proved through the promised Savior Christ. Explain that through the Bible that Jesus is the Christ, Christianity is bound to be exclusivity, and it must be said that the Bible is the only way, not the various paths to the mountain, to be saved. In fact, even in the Koran, Jesus appears as a prophet. It would also be a good way to get in touch with Muslims and start talking about Jesus Christ first.

Bible Linguistics – 4. A language that flows through human history like a drama

Why did God allow human language? It was to praise God the Creator in one voice. God wiped out the fallen mankind by the flood, and then prospered again through Noah's descendants. However, people fell into pride and tried to challenge God by building a tower of Babel. The Tower of Babel might have been intended to create a high place and evacuate safely again in the event of a flood. Until this tower of Babel was built, mankind was speaking only one language. God confuses language to condemn this human pride. This congestion would have been achieved by different pronunciations and word order for each language. This event contrasts with the incident of the Pentecostal Holy Spirit in Acts 2 in the New Testament. This case is the New Testament version of the gracious reversal of the Old Testament version of the Tower of Babel. In the Pentecostal event, the disciples began speaking in more than 15 different languages. Here, the unification of the divided language in Babel took place. In Babel, humans used language to enhance their honor, but in Mark's attic, the “new” language was used to announce “God's great work”. In Babel, God scattered people by judgment, but in Jerusalem, God scattered people and used them to preach the gospel worldwide.

The Hellenistic period, the middle and old history of the Old and New Testaments, provides a very important clue regarding biblical linguistics. The Hellenistic era is linguistically linking the Tower of Babel and the Pentecostal events. Galatians 4:4 says, "When the time came, God sent his son." Here, "time" is the Greek word "Kronos," meaning a certain period. This "Kronos" is a concept that contrasts with "Kyros," which means "opportunity." Therefore, literally "When the time came" can be translated as "the fullness of time came." The last warning of the Old Testament Malachi says, "Remember the covenant of Sinai (Mal. 4:4)." God is silent for a long period of 400 years after Malachi. This Hellenistic era, commonly referred to as silence, is understood as the period God prepared Jesus Christ. God indeed sent the Messiah over the history of this period. Through this biblical evidence (Isaiah 7:14, etc.) and the development of history (the Greek and Roman periods), God makes the Greek language the world language and uses the Roman Empire to preach Jesus Christ to all nations.

Through this biblical story, we can see that God is using language to proclaim God's righteousness. I've been interested in languages, so I've studied many languages, and I continue to learn languages. It may seem that my current language ability is my own effort, but when I read the story of the Bible, the language ability is entirely a gift from God. It is a gift that is used to reveal the glory of God. This gift may come as a miracle in the absence of human effort, such as the coming of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. When analyzing Corinthians, it is presumed that Paul spoke dozens of languages. It seems that he also received the gift of dialect as a foreign language.
