I went to Auburn Avenue to lecture on Church, Lord’s Supper, Baptism, and Way of Salvation/Discipleship.

But the discussion afterwards focused on Theology Proper and Incarnation. I didn’t plan that but it didn’t seem like a stretch at all. As I recall the following came up at some point or another:

• Is God emotional?
• Should we take God at his word that his feelings even when these aren’t reducible to categories like “the elect”?
• Is the “free offer” of the Gospel important–that is, the sincere offer made to all apart from considerations as to what God has fore-ordained about them?
• Is humility an essential attribute of God?
• Does the incarnation reveal God or obscure him at points?
• Why was Gordon Clark considered within the pale when he asked who said, “I thirst” and denied that God thirsted?
• To what extent have we been taught that the “economic Trinity” is a false revelation that we must disregard to know the true God?
