Bible Question (short): followup |
Question (full): Is it anthropopathic because our theology dictates it to be? Another words, our we letting our presuppositions dictate our interpretation, or are we letting the Bible speak without our presuppositions. I listed just a couple of examples, but there is a number of instances in scripture which seem to really say just that...God changed his mind. I guess the big question would be, "who defines what verse is Anthropopathic?" There are many verses where everyone in Orthodox Christianity would agree on; However, Dr. Harden feels that the account in Genesis addressing God's sorrow is Anthropapathic. Why? Because feelings like sorrow imply lack and since God is totally complete he can never lack anything. I would disagree and believe that passages that write about God's emotions are not anthropapathic at all. However, where is the line drawn? Have we allowed Platonic reason to form our understanding of the Biblical God? Is the label, Anthropapathic, used to do away with verses that don't fit our understanding of who God is? |
