Epistemics of Divine Reality - Philosophical from Domenic Marbaniang

JOHN 17:1 "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You.” Intro We saw 1. The Revelation of His Glory (John 1:17) 2. The Foretaste of Glory (2 Cor.3:18) 3. Christ in us, Hope of Glory (Col.1:27) 4. Christ Glorified Through Our Dying to Self And Living To Him 5. Christ Glorified Through Our Following Him 6. Christ Glorified Through Our Serving Him Heb.12: Looking beyond the Cross for the Joy: The hour when the Son will be glorified. The victory lay on the focus beyond the Cross. JOHN 13:1-17: Christ Glorified in His Body, the Church Eph.3:21; Jn. 17:10 1. Christ is Glorified When There is Love Among Each Other in the Body John 13:34,35 - Loving your own (your God, your neighbor, your spouse….) Jn.4:20,21 - Loving to the end (1Cor.13: Love’s First Characteristic – “suffereth long”; Love’s Last Characteristic – “never faileth” E.g. Jesus loved Peter to the end Learning to forgive (Eph.4:31) – without knots (worldly love when once broken can never be...

JOHN 17:1 "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You.” Intro We saw 1. Revelation of Glory (John 1:17) 2. Foretaste of Glory (2 Cor.3:18) 3. Christ in us, Hope of Glory (Col.1:27) JOHN 12: GLORIFYING CHRIST THROUGH TRUE DISCIPLESHIP-SERVICE John 12:23-26 1. To Serve Means to First Die “He that loves life…” - Dying to Self - Dying to other interests/affections - Dying to other commitments Becoming a zero (Phil. 2) Humble yourself and He will lift you up E.g. Sadhu Kishan Singh while on journey through Himalayas. The heat of carrying that person on his back kept him from freezing; but, his friend who was in a hurry and wanted to save himself was found frozen to death. JESUS CHRIST – THE WHEAT/SEED: Dies and falls to the ground in order to bear fruit Do you glorify your Master by dying to the world and living for Him? Paul: CROSS: The Great Divider (Gal. 6:14) 2. To Serve Means to Follow - Being Where He Is - Learning What He Wills/Desires - Doi...

JOHN 17:1 “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You.” Intro John uses some important terms again and again: Light, Truth, Love, Glory, Hour We will look at some events where Jesus talks about this hour… THE CANA EPISODE: REVELATION OF HIS GLORY John 2 1. God’s Hour Why did He say “What have I to do with thee?” A Ministry that is - Not compelled by need - Not compelled by passion - Not compelled by circumstances - But by the Hour of God Mary is the earthly mother, but the ministry belongs to the Eternal Father. He was faithful as a Son (Heb 5) He was obedient to death (Phil 2) Dr. Kurien Thomas: I am a servant, but not a servant of men; I am servant of God. 2. Christ’s Glory Why did He turn the water into wine? Why didn’t He turn the stones into bread in the wilderness? Why choose to do this miracle in a remote country like Cana? Why not start in Jerusalem? Answer: To reveal His glory to His disciples Some of His miracles were simply just for His d...

From Lectures on Methodological Issues in Missions, MTh Class, New Life College, Bangalore, 2011 1. Philosophical or Ideological Clashes The clash is between ideologies, and aggression is usually vented through the media of literature, lectures, art forms and media. E.g. Propaganda Literature of Communism, Da Vinci Code, etc. 2. Political Motives Aggression and persecution with political motives. E.g. When Nero burnt Rome and blamed the Christians, executing many of their leaders. 3. Profit Motives Aggression to eliminate economic rivalries or blockades. E.g. Persecution of Paul by Demetrius at Ephesus (Acts 19), Persecution of Jews...

The Scandal of Particularity questions how one Man could be God and also be the Savior of the whole world. There are two pictures in the Bible that answer this: 1. Surety. Jesus Christ is made the surety of the New Covenant by which participants in the Covenant share in the blessings of the Covenant (Hebrews 7:22). Now, a surety is someone who provides a warrant or guarantee for an other. If I wish to borrow Rs.5000/- from a creditor, and he doesn't trust me, he would ask for a guarantor or surety, who answers to him and is willing to pay in case I am not able to pay the amount back. Similarly, when we were weak and without strength, and in a state when we could not repay our debts, Christ paid the penalty of our sins. 2. Priest. A Priest is a legally appointed Mediator who represents man before God; as such, Christ, appointed after the order of Melchizedek as a Priest forever, provides a better sacrifice than the blood of animals that the priests after the Aaronic order presented...

Lectures in Hamartiology The Sinful Nature 'Nature' here must not be understood as similar to that in 'human nature' or 'feline nature'. It is the principle of sin, which Romans 7 talks about, the law of sin. In essence, it is selfishness, covetousness, the end by which 'good' or 'evil' is defined. When Adam sinned, the choice broke him off from the Life of God and mankind became autonomous. Man could decide what was right or wrong by reference to himself. [Even philosophers have referred to happiness as the desired end]. That is the principle of lawlessness that is internal, intense, and universal. Therefore, the condemnation hangs over the head. Man is not compelled by the sin principle, he chooses to walk according to it in his condemned state of separation from God, in his state of Spiritless carnality, and thus subservience and enslavement to sin. He is now flesh (in the sense of not having the dominance of the law of the Spirit, Rom 8:2) an...

The next key verse is 2:44 which talks about the coming everlasting Kingdom of Jesus Christ . And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. (Daniel 2:44) Daniel, unlike his contemporary Ezekiel , is more concerned about the political future of the world and emphasizes on the Kingdom of God. He hailed from Judah and the Lord had chartered his course into the palace of Babylon . Ezekiel, on the other hand, was of a priestly family and his visions were primarily related to the religious life of the people. Ezekiel's visions relate to the TEMPLE - the Glory of God, the Cherubim, etc. Daniel's vision is about the THRONE - the Kingdom of God. Ezekiel envisions a coming world to be filled with the presence, knowledge, and glory of God. Daniel envisions a world ruled absolutely by Jesus Christ. ...

The Book of Daniel was written sometime between 606-530 BC when Daniel prophesied through the times of Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, and Darius the son of Ahasurus in Babylon. The Book contains dreams, visions, and prophecies related to global politics revolving around the Jews whose nation Israel/Judah was snatched from them through conquests, first by Assyria and then by Babylon in 586 BC. The dreams, visions, and prophecies declare that though Israel was suspended as a nation from the realm of politics, God ‘s sovereign rulership over world politics had not come to cease. In terms of ethno-religio-political locus, the Book portrays one center: The Messiah who is the Son of David (the next immediate circumferential center being the Jewish people to whom He first belongs, ethno-religio-politically speaking). In terms of geo-political locus, the center is Jerusalem, the City of David (the immediate circumferential center being Palestine ). Jerusalem is destined to be the Capital of th...

Written for a friend, January 2009 Factually speaking, there is nothing more relevant to the life and destiny of any people than the  Gospel of  Jesus Christ ; it delivers them from the pit of destruction and places them on the path of salvation originally charted out for them. Therefore, there is nothing more relevant than the Gospel of Jesus Christ. However, the problem of relevance revolves around the people’s lack of awareness of Christ as really relevant to them. Therefore, this concerns the problem of presentation or communication of the Gospel. The seed is not sown before the ground is prepared. The seed will only spring forth if the ground is suitable for it or relevant to it. Similarly, the seed of the Gospel can only find right ground in the hearts of those who are receptive to it. This receptivity is the condition of being able to find the Gospel relevant for the soul. Theologians refer to it as  preparatio evangelica or the preparation for the Gospel. That ...

Notes: 1. Sensory Memory (SM) : Remembrance of a sensation lasting from a split of second to some 10 seconds. It is like a spark that is intense and strong but evaporates. 2. Short-term Memory (STM): Stores limited information for a limited amount of time. The older data will give way to the newer to accomodate space. 3. Long-term Memory (LTM): Stores unlimited information for unlimited amount of time. Must be retrieved by means of memory bookmarks, clues. But, thanks for the mind's ability to self-organize; the search isn't very difficult, given the proper clues. LTM is like the Library STM is like the Desk SM is like the Page I'm reading Illustration: I remember the taste of the candy while eating : Sensory Memory . It is so real; that's one reason why SM has more appeal than LTM. Joke: "A philosopher gives up his philosophy over a tooth-ache". I remember the taste for some time after: Short-term Memory. I recall the taste, but indefinitely: Long-term Memory...

Notes: Unconditioned & Conditioned Response Spontaneous Recovery (SR) MEMORY Unconscious and Conscious Bottom and Surface Things that are immediately useful (interesting) are put on the desk. The others are thrown in the stores. SR - the brain searches the stores for clues, etc to meet the immediate situation. The presentation of CS is the clue and stimulus of the SR-CR

From Lectures on Psychology An important field of psychological research is the biology of behavior, also variously called physiological psychology, psychobiology, or biopsychology, whatever. The theological problem is that the Bible doesn't accept that moral choices are physiologically determined. Determinism may form the basis of animal behavior, but not of man who is held morally responsible for his actions. Though, materialists may disagree, the argument connects to the factor of difference, namely the spirituality of man. The inner conflict of Romans 7 is the conflict between the physiological determinant and the soul's incapability due to sin to obey God's law, an external factor not belonging to the cause-effect system of the flesh. Therefore, as long as we were in the flesh, the passions did what they would. However, the introduction of the Law posed the conflict because the soul finds itself in the bondage of the flesh, so knowledge conflicts with determinist anim...
