EternalUnchangingAll holyAll knowingInfiniteAll present

These words describe God’s Transcendence. How are these words different from things in our normal world?

To define immanence and transcendenceTo explain why God is both immanent and transcendentTo evaluate evidence from the Bible that God is immanent and transcendent

God as Immanent and TranscendentSlide2

God is transcendent means that God is completely beyond the world and different from it. We can’t understand God at all with our limited human minds. He is totally different from anything we can imagine or know.

But God is also immanent

means that God is very close to us, all around us. He is with us, knows us and looks out for us, all the time.God has to be BOTH immanent and transcendent. If God was ONLY immanent, he would just BE the world, and nothing more. He would not be the mysterious, other Being. If God was ONLY transcendent, we could not know him at all. He would be completely beyond us. We could never know his personal care for us. Draw the picture that shows God as “transcendent”. Explain what this means. Draw the picture that shows God as “immanent”. Explain what this means. Explain why God has to be BOTH immanent AND transcendent. *Why would it be impossible to know God if he was only transcendent? Slide3

Was Jacob’s experience of God immanent or transcendent?Find a quote that shows that this is what Jacob thought. Explain what this quote says about God. (PEE).What part of Jacob’s experience also suggests a God who is totally different and other?
