In this episode Lane Tipton and Camden Bucey continue their discussion of Geerhardus Vos's Biblical Theology, focusing on pages 369–371. This section addresses Jesus' teaching on the divine majesty and greatness, the retributive righteousness of God, and the implications for true religion. Lane Tipton explains how Vos maintains the biblical tension between God's transcendent majesty and his loving condescension. They discuss how Vos's doctrine of God stands against the errors of theological liberalism, which often reduces the divine character to a single attribute of love divorced from holiness and righteousness. The conversation highlights how Jesus' teaching does not abandon the concept of divine retribution but presents it as an essential and irreducible aspect of God's nature. Drawing connections to the contemporary theological landscape, Camden and Lane address modern tendencies to elevate divine love to the exclusion of justice. They also explore the ways in which Reformed theology provides a robust foundation for understanding God's attributes in their fullness, without compromising his immutability or impassibility. Listen in as they unpack Vos's profound insights and demonstrate how they continue to speak to modern theological debates. 00:07 Introduction 07:41 Vos's Critique of Liberalism 11:32 The Attributes of God 17:02 The Impassibility of God and Its Importance 28:19 True Religion and God's Transcendence 33:04 The Retributive Righteousness of God 44:51 Practical Application 49:53 Conclusion

Is God emotionless and unchanging? Many systematic theologians have long argued that God is completely impassible—meaning He cannot feel, suffer, or be influenced by creation. But is this truly what the Bible teaches? In this episode, Dr. R.T. Mullins joins The Biblical Mind Podcast to challenge traditional ideas about God's nature, emotions, and engagement with the world. He explains how philosophy has often shaped theology more than scripture, why systematic theologians ignore biblical descriptions of God's emotions, and what it actually means to call God all-powerful and all-knowing. Dru and R.T. explore the hidden assumptions behind classical theism, why ancient theologians rejected the idea that God could suffer, and whether modern theology needs a reset. Mullins also discusses how our view of God shapes how we pray, worship, and think about suffering. If you've ever wondered why theology sometimes feels disconnected from the Bible, or why certain doctrines sound more like philosophy than scripture, this episode will challenge you to rethink how we describe God.

Peter Mahaffey - Theology Classes - The Impassibility Of God | October 23 2024 by Royal York Baptist Church

Passage: Genesis 6:6, Exodus 3:1-14 Speaker: Eric Chabaneix

A lecture with Q&A given by Davenant Hall Teaching Fellow, Ryan Hurd. Today, Anselm is much maligned for doing theology which results in a heartless god, and central to this caricature is his doctrine of God's impassibility. However, critics often fail to understand the exact nature of this doctrine. Before one can even consider truth or falsity, one must determine: what does impassibility actually mean? In this lecture. Ryan Hurd determines what Anselm means by saying God is impassible, especially as found in Chapters 7 and 8 of his Proslogion, concluding that his judgment is akin to saying that someone is “invulnerable.” Although many adversities have power over us humans by virtue of our many vulnerabilities, none have any power over God, for he lacks all our vulnerabilities. This alone is what Anselm means when he says God is impassible. As he summarizes, “nothing has power against God.” Ryan Hurd is a systematic theologian whose area of expertise is the doctrine of God, specifically the Trinity. His primary training is in the high medieval and early modern scholastics as well as the 20th century ressourcement movement. He has written a number of articles and regularly does translations of early modern theology sources; but his primary project is writing a systematics of the Trinity. He is a Teaching Fellow at Davenant Hall. For more about Davenant Hall, visit our website here: https://davenanthall.com

The Lord our God is but one only living and true God; whose subsistence is in and of himself, infinite in being and perfection; whose essence cannot be comprehended by any but himself; a most pure spirit, invisible, without body, parts, or passions, who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; who is immutable, immense, eternal, incomprehensible, almighty, every way infinite, most holy, most wise, most free, most absolute; working all things according to the counsel of his own immutable and most righteous will for his own glory; most loving, gracious, merciful, long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin; the rewarder of them that diligently seek him, and withal most just and terrible in his judgments, hating all sin, and who will by no means clear the guilty. [1 Corinthians 8:4, 6; Deuteronomy 6:4; Jeremiah 10:10; Isaiah 48:12; Exodus 3:14; John 4:24; 1 Timothy 1:17; Deuteronomy 4:15, 16; Malachi 3:6; 1 Kings 8:27; Jeremiah 23:23; Psalms 90:2; Genesis 17:1; Isaiah 6:3; Psalms 115:3; Isaiah 46:10; Proverbs 16:4; Romans 11:36; Exodus 34:6, 7; Hebrews 11:6; Nehemiah 9:32, 33; Psalms 5:5, 6; Exodus 34:7; Nahum 1:2, 3.]

You may need a snickers, but God doesn't. Listen and see why that is good news for us and helps us trust God.About the Guest(s):Samuel Renihan is the guest spotlighted in this episode. With a deep commitment to theology, Sam serves as one of the pastors at Trinity Reformed Baptist Church in La Mirada, California. He possesses an academic background with a focus on Spanish language and literature for his undergrad followed by an MDiv at Westminster in Escondido, capped with a PhD from the Free University of Amsterdam. He is dedicated to exploring Baptist confessional theology and history, offering rich insights into the doctrines that shape faith and practice. Sam is also a family man, married to Kim with a son named Owen, and he has an intriguing musical taste influenced by ancient folk stories from Finland.Episode Summary:In this enriching episode of Renewalcast, Coalt Robinson sits down with Pastor Samuel Renihan to delve into the nuanced and complex doctrine of divine impassibility. The discussion aims to unravel the intricacies of this crucial theological concept and its implications for understanding God's unchangeable nature. The conversation opens doors to a greater comprehension of how divine attributes provide comfort and assurance within the Christian faith.Renihan articulates the essence of divine impassibility, emphasizing its role in characterizing God as unchanged and unchangeable by external or internal forces, particularly in terms of emotions. This leads into an exploration of the impact of such a doctrine on our interpretation of scripture and the nature of God's commitments, such as the promise of unfailing love and mercy. Furthermore, Renihan highlights the importance of balancing the understanding of God's love with his justice, stressing the immutable and perfect nature of both attributes.Key Takeaways:Divine impassibility asserts that God is not subject to change, either externally or internally, especially concerning emotions.Passages that seem to suggest God experiences emotional change are interpreted through metaphoric language contextualized by other scriptures affirming God's immutable nature.Impassibility does not negate God's affective attributes but rather nuances them as perfections integral to his essence – e.g., God as love itself rather than possessing the quality of love.The doctrine provides reassurance of the steadfastness of God's promises, both in the unchanging nature of his love for the redeemed and the certainty of his justice towards the wicked.The conversation around impassibility touches on practical aspects of faith, from the assurance of salvation to the understanding of God's discipline and just wrath.Notable Quotes:"Impassibility is that God's not passable. He can't be changed by outside forces, external forces, nor does he act upon himself to change himself in any way.""His love is impassable, and his love will always be perfect and always be marvelous and always at the full for his people, which assures us in so many ways.""…the gospel is not about changing God's mind. The gospel is about changing you.""God's justice can do nothing else but approve of a righteous object. That same justice to us is mercy and kindness, whereas to the wicked it is wrath and anger.""Even the afflictions that God permits in our lives, he does so with a loving purpose of sanctifying us…"Resources:James Dolzal's book, "All That Is in God"Sam Renihan's own book, "God Without Passions: A Reader"We invite you to listen to the full episode for a more thorough understanding and appreciation of the doctrine of divine impassibility as Samuel Renihan unpacks its profound implications for the Christian faith. Stay tuned to Renewalcast for more thoughtful and enlightening discussions on matters of theology and practice.

What is divine impassibility? Can God feel pain? Does God have emotions? Is God impassible?

Does God have emotions? Without much thought, many of us instinctually say “YES!” Maybe you think back to the passages of scripture where God's anger is kindled. Or where men and women of the bible work to please God. Or maybe even scriptures on God's compassion for the widows and orphans. Well, philosophers describe God's emotions very differently than we do. They suggest, if we can do something to make God happy, make God angry, or make God cry, then we control the uncontrollable, and we can change the unchangeable? The theological position that states that God's emotions are unchangeable is called impassability. Listen as Dr. Amos Winarto discusses this philosophical/theological doctrine regarding the emotions of God. Donate (Paypal)https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=GC2Z86XHHG4X6___________________________________________________________________________________Exclusive Content (Patreon)https://www.patreon.com/TheRemnantRadio___________________________________________________________________________________Michael Rowntree's Church Bridgewayhttps://www.bridgewaychurch.com/___________________________________________________________________________________Michael Miller's Church Reclamation Churchhttps://reclamationdenver.com/___________________________________________________________________________________Kairos Classroom: Use Promo Code Remnant for 10% offhttps://kairosclassroom.com/classes__________________________________________________________________________________Remnant News Letterhttp://eepurl.com/hSCQRv__________________________________________________________________________________Free Mini E-coursehttps://remnant-university.teachable.com/p/free-mini-courseKairos Classroom: Use Promo Code "Remnant" for 10% offhttps://kairosclassroom.com/classes Kairos Classroom: Use Promo Code Remnant for 10% offhttps://kairosclassroom.com/classesSupport the show

Jordan talks with Paul Gavrilyuk about divine impassibility. They cover topics like: What is the doctrine of divine impassibility? Is the doctrine biblical in any sense? Is it a false dilemma to choose between an unrestrictedly impassible and unrestrictedly passible God? Are there various different ways it has been understood in history? Is impassibility consistent with any passions being ascribed to God such as love or delight? Is impassibility consistent with God having emotions? If God is to have compassion can he be impassible? Does compassion require suffering?Resources:1) The Suffering of the Impassible God: The Dialectics of Patristic Thought, Paul GavrilyukSubscribe to (and learn more about) the London Lyceum Society + here.Support the show

The doctrine of God’s impassibility may seem counterintuitive to many Christians today, but actually, impassibility is an essential belief of Christian orthodoxy. Impassibility was not only affirmed in the great confessions of faith throughout church history, but also defended as vital to the doctrine of God itself. But how does a theologian reconcile divine impassibility… Download Audio
