REVELATION MAKES YAHWEH KNOWN 2

Revelation makes God known

Can someone proclaim God without knowing Him?

Can someone know God without the revelation of God?

       Knowing God is not only to know facts about God but to    know Him personally as one person can know another in trust and in love 

Those who do not believe in God’s revelation cannot speak about God.

REVELATION MAKES YAHWEH KNOWN 1

Revelation makes God known

God is the source of truth. Only through the revelation of God are we able to know God and have the truth (Jn.1:14).

What human authority can establish the truth on earth if God, who is expected to be the supreme authority in theology, is not revealed?

REVELATION MAKES GOD ACCESSIBLE 4

God in the Qur’an is not revealed to Muhammad 

God in the Bible reveals Himself to many people

Who can then claim knowing and having the truth?

      The followers of the Bible or the Qur’an?

REVELATION MAKES GOD ACCESSIBLE 2

Mankind is not able to go to God, but God is able to come to mankind

1.Man is in chain,

2.Every other religion in the world asks personal man (though in chain) to go to impersonal god, but in the Bible personal God comes to personal man in order to unchain him.

3.In other religions, gods wait for the lost man to find them, but in the Bible God searches for lost

REVELATION OF YAHWEH - KEY 2

Revelation of God: a key to personal witnessing

The fact that God of the Bible reveals Himself personally to people as holy, just, loving and savior is to give purpose and meaning to life.

God has created the man for a purpose

To give purpose to life, God’s constant presence and supervision are necessary

REVELATION OF YAHWEH - MAKES PERFECT SENSE

Revelation of God makes perfect sense

YAHWEH is the Creator, the author of life,

1.He gave Adam and Eve life through His personal touch.

2.Could God create, touch and talk without revealing Himself?

The God of the Bible is the personal, relational and active God. He is the God with image:

1.The glory of God will be revealed, and all mankind will see it (Isa.40:5) 

2.I will go before you and will level the mountains (Isa.45:2

TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE 4

The significance of these questions


These questions start discussions from the root so that people might be able to discover the Reliable Standard for life


Every individual needs an absolute standard that leads to freedom and peace and prevents breaching the law and rights of others.


If people discover that the nature of god in their scriptures is against freedom and peace, they will be challenged and moved to search for the truth.

TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE 1

Thought provoking questions can lead to Truth

Questions about God, Satan and Creation 

Is God absolutely holy, just, moral and loving? 

Is God the source of the absolute peace? 

What is the origin of sin? Where has Satan come from? 

Can a just God create sin? 

Can a genuine God have partnership with sin? 

Where did death and suffering come from? 

Did the Holy and Perfect God create a suffering imperfect world? 

Should God reveal His full and absolute justice and release man from Satan? 

Why wouldn’t God be interested in abolishing the work of Satan on earth?

PEACE & TRUTH - ONLY GOD CAN GIVE 5

Why do we need to invite people into a process of discovery?

People need to have reason for life (1Pt.3:15)
“Reasoning” is a great tool for understanding and discovering the truth

Reasoning rejects passivity, fanaticism or violence, and establishes reconciliation amongst nations, and between nations and God.

Violence in the families, in the countries and in the world is not removed unless people are open to reasoning.

PEACE & TRUTH - ONLY GOD CAN GIVE 4

Why do we need to invite people into a process of discovery?

People have capacity to understand the truth and make decision

Because, “the requirement of the law of God is written in the hearts of people and their consciences bear witness to it” (Rom.2:14-16)

Therefore if “we set the truth plainly and commend ourselves to every person’s conscience in the sight of God” (2Cor.4:2),

The law (values) of God is in charge to lead people to Christ (Gal.3:24)

PEACE & TRUTH - ONLY GOD CAN GIVE 3

Why do we need to invite people 
into a process of discovery?

God is the God of reason. He gives understanding in all things (2Tim.2:7)

Come and reason together (Isa.1:18)

God presents reasons for building relationship with people

We also need to help people to be available for God for a reason and be able to express that reason to others

Those who understand God’s mind and heart better will love God with all their hearts and minds (Matt.22:37) and are used better 

Zoroastrianism - 1000 BCE

Zoroastrianism was founded by Zarathushtra (Zoroaster) in Persia which followed an aboriginal polytheistic religion at the time. He preached what may have been the first monotheism with a single supreme god, Ahura Mazda. Zoroastrians belief in the dualism of good and evil as either a cosmic one between Ahura Mazda and an evil spirit of violence and death, Angra Mainyu, or as an ethical dualism within the human consciousness. The Zoroastrian holy book is called the Avesta which includes the teachings of Zarathushtra written in a series of five hymns called the Gathas. They are abstract sacred poetry directed towards the worship of the One God, understanding of righteousness and cosmic order, promotion of social justice, and individual choice between good and evil. The rest of the Avesta was written at a later date and deals with rituals, practice of worship, and other traditions of the faith.

Zoroastrians worship through prayers and symbolic ceremonies that are conducted before a sacred fire which symbolizes their God. They dedicate their lives to a three-fold path represented by their motto: "Good thoughts, good words, good deeds." The faith does not generally accept converts but this is disputed by some members.


According to Zoroastrianism, Ahura Mazda (God) cast a shadow from Himself in the beginning of time. This shadow became possessed of it's own soul and became the God of Light's brother-Ahriman
