Is natural and revealed knowledge of God the same?

• what does revelation reveals more than nature argue?


  no- Natural knowledge, what we learn from observing the world, is limited. Revealed knowledge, on the other hand, gives us a broader

  understanding of God, including things like God's special plan for us and how to be saved. It's like having a bigger map (revelation) that shows us places beyond our immediate surroundings (natural knowledge).
• what biblical evidence supports revelation reveals more than nature?

  "But as it is written: 'Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.'" (1 Corinthians 2:9, NKJV)
• what does both point to God's existence and glory argue?

  no- Some people believe that natural knowledge of God (what we can understand about God by looking at the world) and revealed knowledge (what we learn from religious texts and teachings) are both gifts from God's grace. Natural knowledge gives us a basic understanding of God's existence and

  greatness through nature, and revealed knowledge is an extension of this grace, providing more details to complete our understanding.
• what biblical evidence supports both point to God's existence and glory?


  "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his

  hands." (Psalm 19:1)
• what does understanding God better with a little help argue?

  yes-Imagine natural knowledge as the foundation and revealed knowledge as the building that stands on it. Revealed knowledge, like insights from religious books, is a grace-filled gift that helps us better understand the foundation of natural knowledge. It's like using a flashlight (revelation) to see more clearly in a dimly lit room (natural knowledge), and both are gifts of grace from God.
• what biblical evidence supports understanding God better with a little help?


  "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God." (Ephesians 2:8)
• what does being like God help us know God argue?

  yes- The idea is that since we are created in the image of

  God, there's a part of us that naturally seeks to understand and connect with God. This inclination is itself a gift of grace, a built-in compass provided by God, pointing us toward a deeper understanding of Him.
• what biblical evidence is being like God helps us know God argue?


  "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he

  created them; male and female he created them." (Genesis 1:27)
• what does revealed knowledge includes extraordinary stuff?

  no- Sometimes, the stories we read in religious texts involve extraordinary events like miracles or prophecies. These events go beyond what we typically see in nature. Think of it like supernatural plot twists in a movie

  that make the story even more interesting and intriguing.
• what biblical evidence supports revealed knowledge includes extraordinary stuff?


  "Jesus answered them, 'I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me.'" (John 10:25)
• what does some belief needs special instructions argue?

  no- Certain beliefs in Christianity, like the idea of the

  Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as one God) or how Jesus' sacrifice saves us, aren't easy to figure out just by looking at the world around us. It's like having a manual (revealed knowledge) that explains the complex parts of a gadget (Christian doctrines) that aren't obvious just by looking at it.
• what biblical evidence supports some beliefs need special instructions argue?


  "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the

  name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." (Matthew 28:19)
