Divine Aseity
Describe this attribute
Describe this attribute
Latin: a (from) se (self)
Self-existence
Ex
While aseity only expresses God’s self-sufficiency in his existence, independence has a broader sense and implies that God is independent in everything: existence, perfections, decrees, and works.
Name one theological system, when taken to its logical extreme, contradicts this doctrine.
Analyze this statement: God created us so that he could have fellowship with us.
How does causative faith compromise God’s independence?
Analyze: Pilate could have released Jesus and refused to crucify him.
Provide a biblical text that proves divine aseity
Immutability

Isn’t this an obvious and clear contradiction?
How does dispensationalism, if taken to its logical extreme, compromise or contradict the doctrine of divine immutability?
How do you pray for the non-elect if God’s decree is immutable?
Define process theology and analyze it in light of divine immutability
Your friend who is a young Christian tells you that he thinks God changes his mind about things and will move to answer our prayers if we really believe.
How would you respond?
Provide a biblical text that proves immutability
Impassibility
Define the doctrine of divine impassibility
Incapacity for being overwhelmed by suffering.
The idea is that God cannot suffer.
Are God’s energies the best way to describe God’s actions?
Such as God was angry?
I prefer to say it this way: God’s dispositions or attitudes do not change.
To shift from God’s favor to God’s anger is not a shift in God but a shift in us.
God’s attitude never changed.
Our behavior shift us to a different divine attitude.
How does evangelical Marxism compromise divine impassibility?
Analyze this statement: God suffers with us.
God needs our help to overcome the oppressors.
God hurts when we hurt…he suffers with us.
Provide a biblical text that proves impassibility
Eternity and Omnipresence
Define eternal
Isa 41
What is time?
Time is best understood as a mode of existence.

Who should we understand being cast out from the presence of God?
