Thanks for stopping by!
- Establish a working and consistent understanding of God’s Covenant, as revealed in scripture (the revelation.)
- Study word (idea) relationships in the revelation from and by God:
- Covenant
- Commandments
- Law
- Word
- Spoke
- Said
- Promise
- Creation
- Others
- Identify clear statements in the revelation which establish a depiction of the “Nature of Covenant” and its related words (ideas)
- Establish a working description based upon biblical terminology of the “Nature of Covenant.”
- Establish a relational interchange of the revelation in both words and phrases which relate to the idea of the Covenant, and its Nature.
Everything must be supported directly from the Word of God. Everything must be easily demonstrated from the revelation, and avoid large leaps in relational thinking, supported rather by the clear interaction of the Word of God, as given in its revelational form.
We are working to establish not the work of others, but to enhance our abilities to take scripture, and use it in a manner consistent with itself. To do as Paul commands Timothy, that by and through exercising of the Word which is able to make us wise unto salvation we might become better able to serve our God and our fellow man.
Our outside aids should remain confined to historical and antiquitive language works, grammars, polemic, and other such works which will illuminate our understanding of the meaning of the languages and there interaction with one another and mankind, in the historical grammatical delivery, and subsequent development of culture and language within the Church.
We should take nothing for granted found in the teaching of others, who have traveled this path before us, even regarding their dutiful and earnest expositions concerning the revelation, and its plain meaning, as well founded and sure. Faith and life are established in each of us individually, so is our depth of wisdom and understanding. We may be sharpened by the use of scholarly theological works, but we may just as easily be lulled to sleep, it is Gods Word only upon which we must establish and base our understanding of these things.
The object of this study is to train ourselves to extract a sound and thorough understanding of the revelations plain teaching given in various ways down through the ages, and to live and move and have our beings, better defined by a dutiful surrender to the Word, and not its summarized parts, as found in theology.
One thought on “Study of the Covenant of God”
This part which you posted (below) is the thoughts I have been trying to put into words for a while now. After years of walking in a relationship with God and learning much but also falling horibly short everytime; in this time I have heard many things from different standpoints from many Christians. But while many Christians spoke truth to me and no doubtly I could feel the love and touch of God’s love, peace, compassion, ect. in thier lives, there was always some void there, and I have come to realize (or believe) that it is because a lot of Christian kind of stray from the direct connection of the Word to it’s people and start making little side trials which began from the word but are heading towards ‘self evaluating’ and I don’t even know if that’s the right words, but the main core of the thoughts I’ve had are the truth that you know doubt discovered many years ago:
Everything must be supported directly from the Word of God. Everything must be easily demonstrated from the revelation, and avoid large leaps in relational thinking, supported rather by the clear interaction of the Word of God, as given in its revelational form.
