Post your answers to the following questions here:
1. Christ asked the question, “Who do men say that I am?” (Matt. 16:13). Why do you think that Christianity has historically made belief in the deity of Cas the primary test for orthodoxy?
2. Mormons do not believe that Christ was God. Jehovah Witnesses believe that Christ is the brother of Michael the archangel. Why do you think that the cults reject Christ’s deity?
3. Further discuss the “Arrogance of a Madman” argument for the deity of Christ. How strong of an argument do you think this is for Christ’s deity? How do you think an objector could respond to this argument?
4. Further discuss the ministry and person of the Holy Spirit. Why do you think that so little is said about Him even though He is equal to the Father and the Son in power and dignity?
5. Do you unknowingly subordinate the Person of the Holy Spirit to the Father and the Son? Why or why not?
6. What can you do to rightly elevate the Holy Spirit to His rightful place in the Trinity both in your heart and mind?
7. How was your thinking challenged the most by this lesson? Explain.
