Is God Too Mysterious to Truly Know?

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley discuss if you can know God truly. **Questions Covered in This Episode:** - Is God too mysterious to truly know? - Why is the emergent church problem coming up again? Why is it happening again? What is a valid response? - Why are you not convinced by the argument that people don't need their Bibles and they can just come to Jesus? - What are the true sources of knowledge of God? - “Don’t put God in a box…?” - How does cultural diversity play into this conversation? **Helpful Definitions:** - General Revelation: God makes himself known in creation. - Special Revelation: God has made himself known in Christ and in Scripture. - Accommodation: We can know who God is because He accommodates Himself to our ways of knowing. - Transcendent: God is wholly other, infinite, and set-apart. - Immanent: God is near and personally accessible. - Archetypal Knowledge: A kind of knowledge only God can have of Himself. Only God can truly know God. - Epistemological Grace: It is gracious that you can know God because He has graciously given Himself to you. **Resources Mentioned in this Episode:** - Romans 11, John 5:37-40, 1 Corinthians 2:10, Acts 17, Revelation 5 Amazon affiliate links are used where appropriate.
