Lesson 3, Who Is Man

Ok, this entry is a bit late... I've had a few irons in the fire and felt that sleep was the priority ;-)

You know... If I didn't know better I would have thought that Pastor Jay read over these lesson notes (based on this morning's sermon). It was right in "lock step" (per se) with this lesson.

Here is a quick overview of last Tuesday's Life Group Meeting:

* Who is Man? Who is God? - The answers to these two questions form the foundation of every one's worldview. The battle within – Galatians 5:16-17 – Our sinful nature is in constant conflict with God's Spirit – Romans 7:15-25, Romans 6:12, Romans 8:5-14.

* Man's Essence - The States of man:

Innocent – Genesis 1:27
Fallen – Romans 5:12, Genesis 6:5
Hell – Revelation 20:15, Hebrew 9:27
Redeemed – Revelation 5:9
Glorified – 1 Corinthians 15:42
Dualistic or Monistic – Both flesh and spirit or purely material?
Naturalistic Philosophy Implications – no gods or purposive forces, no foundation for ethics, no free will, no life after death, no meaning in life

* IMAGO DEO Versus IMAGO Goo...

Have a great week and see you soon!
