THEOLOGICAL DOCTRINES

1. GOD IS SATISFIED WITH HIS WORKS. And God saw everything that he had made, and behold it was very good. (Gen. 1:31.) GOD IS DISSATISFIED WITH HIS WORKS. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. (Gen. 6:6.) 2. GOD DWELLS IN CHOSEN TEMPLES. And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him: I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice. . . . For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there forever; and mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually. (2 Chron. 7:12, 16.) GOD DWELLS NOT IN TEMPLES. Howbeit the Most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands. (Acts 7:48.) 3. GOD DWELLS IN LIGHT. Dwelling in light which no man can approach unto. (1 Tim. 6:16.) GOD DWELLS IN DARKNESS. The Lord said he would dwell in thick darkness. (1 Kings 8:12.) He made darkness his secret place. (Ps. 18:11.) Clouds and darkness are round about him. (Ps. 97:2.) 4. GOD IS SEEN AND HEARD. And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my backparts. (Ex. 33:23.) And the Lord spake to Moses face to face, as a man speaketh to his friend. (Ex. 33:11.) And the Lord called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid. (Gen. 3:9, 10.) For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. (Gen. 32:30.) In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw, also, the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up. (Is. 6:1.) Then went up Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel. And they saw the God of Israel. . . . They saw God, and did eat and drink. (Ex. 24:9, 10, 11.) GOD IS INVISIBLE AND CANNOT BE HEARD. No man hath seen God at any time. (John 1:18.) Ye hath neither heard his voice, at any time, nor seen his shape. (John 5:37.) And he said, Thou canst not see my face; for there shall no man see me and live. (Ex. 33:20.) Whom no man hath seen nor can see. (1 Tim. 6:16.) 5. GOD IS TIRED AND RESTS. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. (Ex. 31:17.) I am weary with repenting. (Jer. 15:6.) GOD IS NEVER TIRED AND NEVER RESTS. Hast thou not heard that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? (Is. 40:28.) 6. GOD IS EVERYWHERE PRESENT, SEES AND KNOWS ALL THINGS. The eyes of the Lord are in every place. (Prov. 15:3.) Whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. (Ps. 139:7-10.) There is no darkness nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings. (Job 34:22, 21.) GOD IS NOT EVERYWHERE PRESENT, NEITHER SEES NOR KNOWS ALL THINGS. And the Lord came down to see the city and the town. (Gen. 11:5.) And the Lord said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous, I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and, if not, I will know. (Gen. 18:20, 21.) And Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord, amongst the trees of the garden. (Gen. 3:8.) 7. GOD KNOWS THE HEARTS OF MEN. Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men. (Acts 1:24.) Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine up-rising; thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. (Ps. 139:2, 3.) GOD TRIES MEN TO FIND OUT WHAT IS IN THEIR HEARTS. The Lord, your God, proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord, your God, with all your heart and with all your soul. (Deut. 13:3.) The Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thy heart. (Deut. 8:2.) For now I know that thou fearest God, seeing that thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me. (Gen. 22:12.) 8. GOD IS ALL-POWERFUL. Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is there anything too hard for me? (Jer. 32:27.) With God all things are possible. (Matt. 19:26.) GOD IS NOT ALL-POWERFUL. And the Lord was with Judah, and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron. (Judg. 1:19.) 9. GOD IS UNCHANGEABLE. With whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (James 1:17.) For I am the Lord; I change not. (Mal. 3:6.) I, the Lord, have spoken it; it shall come to pass, and I will do it. I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent. (Ezek. 24:14.) God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent. (Num. 23:19.) GOD IS CHANGEABLE. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. (Gen. 6:6.) And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil that he had said he would do unto them, and he did it not. (Jonah 3:10.) Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said, indeed, that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me forever; but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me. . . . Behold, the days come that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house. (1 Sam. 2:30, 31.) In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, set thy house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. . . . And it came to pass afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, Turn again and tell Hezekiah, the captain of my people, thus saith the Lord, . . . . I have heard thy prayer, . . . and I will add unto thy days, fifteen years. (2 Kings 20:1, 4, 5, 6.) And the Lord said unto Moses, Depart and go up hence, thou and the people. . . . For I will not go up in the midst of thee. . . . And the Lord said, I will do this thing, also, that thou hast spoken. . . . My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. (Ex. 33:1, 3, 17, 14.) 10. GOD IS JUST AND IMPARTIAL. The Lord is upright, . . . and there is no unrighteousness in him. (Ps. 92:15.) Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? (Gen. 18:25.) A God of truth, and without iniquity, just and right is he. (Deut. 32:4.) There is no respect of persons with God. (Rom. 2:11.) Ye say the way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; is not my way equal? (Ezek. 18:25.) GOD IS UNJUST AND PARTIAL. Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. (Gen. 9:25.) For I, the Lord thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation. (Ex. 20:5.) For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to election, might stand, . . . it was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. As it is written, Jacob have I loved, and Esau have I hated. (Rom. 9:11, 12, 13.) For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance; but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. (Matt. 13:12.) 11. GOD IS THE AUTHOR OF EVIL. Out of the mouth of the Most High proceedeth not evil and good? (Lam. 3:38.) Thus saith the Lord, Behold I frame evil against you and devise a device against you. (Jer. 18:11.) I make peace and create evil. I the Lord do all these things. (Is. 45:7.) Shall there be evil in the city, and the Lord hath not done it? (Amos 3:6.) Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments that they should not live. (Ezek. 20:25.) GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF EVIL. God is not the author of confusion. (1 Cor. 14:33.)
