Do you recognize these eight theological terms?
10/9/2020
While reading my emails I came across one from Facts and Trends that sparked an interest. It is called “8 Theological Terms Everyone in Your Church Should Know” and can be found at:
The terms are:
- Omnipotent
- Omniscient
- Omnipresent
- General Revelation
- Special Revelation
- Justification
- Sanctification
- Glorification
I have heard of justification and sanctification since childhood. The others I have picked up on over the last fifty something years.
Sanctification was my first term to hear on a regular basis then we got a pastor that talked about the omnipotent power of God. Then as I became an adult and started to get into a more regular, steadfast Bible Study and got deeper in the Word of God I learned about justification and the two revelations. Naturally, I had heard about revelations just not the breakdown of them into two different categories. However, the breakdown does make sense and helps explain some things.
It was almost twenty years ago that I heard the meaning of the second and third term; omniscient and omnipresent. It was in my first “dip” into studying the book of Revelation. When the teacher mentions these two words the whole class got a blank look on their faces. He had to take the time to explain them which helped all of us understand them better.
Therefore, I felt this article would be a good one to spread to you, my reader.
