- Welcome to The Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. We now move on to the category that I put into the category of God's attributes of personality.
- 00:24
- These are attributes that He communicates to other persons. This would include mankind, and I would say this could also include angels.
- 00:32
- These are attributes that He has passed on, but it's more specifically this and the attributes of morality are those that we say when we say that we were made in the image of God.
- 00:44
- Made in the image of God means we have these attributes, and the first of them is the attribute of spirituality.
- 00:50
- The essence of God is a spirit, and there isn't a part of Him that is this invisible source of personality.
- 00:58
- We also have a spirit, but we're not just a spirit. God is just a spirit.
- 01:05
- So questions that come up is, if God is a spirit, how do we explain all those passages in the
- 01:10
- Bible that speak of people seeing God? These are called Theophanies or Christophanies, if it's seeing
- 01:18
- Christ, and so these are when people see God who presents Himself in a material sense when
- 01:24
- He's really not material. Now if God is spirit, what about all those passages that speak about Him having feet and hands and eyes and ears?
- 01:33
- These are called anthropomorphisms. These are where God uses language we would understand that is something we understand what it means to have eyes and see, but He doesn't have eyes.
- 01:45
- He doesn't see that same way. But this is God speaking down to us in a language or in a way that we can comprehend.
