More light about Trinity
This course has further open my eyes to the deep questions about Trinity doctrine which has been confusing me before now
Have always faith in the lord Jesus for fulfilment of your calling.
It is really amasing blessing for the word of the lord Jesus
Theology of God
Sometimes things we look at them lightly yet they have a great analysis. I have learnt a lot on these topics. I liked the comparism of trinity in Old Testament and New Testament. interesting topic when getting into details on the trinity of God and how three works together. This show how God is a God of order so as the church should be. the works of Christ and the Holy Spirit, that was really an eye-opening topic for me, because sometime we read the scripture and want to interpret it on our own forgetting the author and helper in order to interpret it according to the need of the church while still in the rightful assignment of God.

God response to sin
Excellent
Starting at the Beginning
Even though I knew a lot of this already, it was very good to have it explained in a straight forward way. This will help me speak to others about God.
God and Humanity
The subject of humanity in relation to God has been really been insightful and at the same time challenging at a personal level. In the last session, we looked at the issue of the poor and how we as Christians should respond. I believe we cannot as Christians ignore this issue but in one way another take action because this is the heart of God.
The lessons in this series are presented by a number of experienced ministry leaders, with the emphasis on the Holy Spirit – who He is and what He loves to do, the Spirit’s work with and through believers, and Holy Spirit empowered outreach.

Certificate of Theology Reviews
John 17
My journey through the Theology of God, of Humanity and of the Holy Sprit has been wonderful and amazing. It’s been refreshiing, strenghtening the foundations that were already there, stiring me on particularly in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. (See my Review on the Ministry of the Spirit.)
The passage in John 17 clearly shows the God Head at work. Even though Christ was here on earth and the Holy Spirit was in Christ empowering Christ through out His earthly Ministry. We see here in this passage, the Intercessoty Prayer of Christ, how close the relationship between the Father and the Son is. Jesus knew that His time here on earth was coming to an end. (V21-23) So he was praying for those that were given to Hin by the Father and for all those who would hear and and believe their message, that they be one (Church-Bride) just as we are one (God the Father and God the Son). I in Thee and Thou in Me and they in us.
I find this amazing that God, who is 3 in 1. Perfect in Unity, Perfect in Love, Perfect in Relationship wanted to share that with Humanity created in there image. Despite the fall of humanity, God’s Love, Grace and Mercy is so strong that God the Son was willing to take on human form to pay the penalty for our sins, Redeeming humanity. God Still wanted have a relationship with the created. I find this a beautiful thing where Christ has gone back to Glory with a Glorified Body. He is now waiting for the day when the Church (Bride) will be presented to Christ (The Bridegroom) and the relationship will be consumated at the greatest Wedding to take place in Glory. Forever she will be the Lord.
THE ULTIMATE LOVE STORY.
THEOLOGY: the Study of God, Humanity, & Ministry in the Spirit
Completed! So thankful for the thorough look at Christian Theology in such a manageable way. I’ve learned about God’s ID, & how this affects spirituality & behaviour, about the Trinity & how to present the ‘one God, 3 persons’ concept well. I’ve expanded my insights on the foundational concepts of relationship with God, image of God, sin, salvation, forgiveness & human relationships, yes, both within & beyond the church… plus I’ve gained wisdom about the practical outworking of ministering to people in the power of the Holy Spirit. For this, I am sincerely thankful.
A Must Do Course!
I have to admit, I was a bit reserved to do a Certificate in Theology, yet I felt it was necessary. The AXX structure and variety of teachers, rounded off, with the personable style of presentation made this topic very digestable. 🙂
