Divine Conspiracy 1 - Jesus and Culture

Follow along with Dallas's slides: dwillard.s3.us-west-1.amazona...
Description: The Divine Conspiracy is God's plan and process of overcoming evil with good in human history. In this first of twelve sessions, Dallas discusses the reality of Christ and the Cross in human history as what brings us into the flow of the single greatest force in human life. You will learn:
- Christ is the source of all knowledge and reality
- The greatest challenge facing the church today
- The three background stories in our culture today
- Why God doesn't make Himself more obvious
- Why the issue of social authority is what underlies all the battles in our culture
- Why character can only develop with freedom
Basic idea: There is a divine conspiracy and it will win. It is a conspiracy because God must be hidden in order that humanity may take the opportunities that present themselves by self-will and take them if they want.
Major texts: Col 1:13-20, Phil 2:5-11, Matthew 13

His key words are wisdom, knowledge, Kingdom and the Bible. About 43:05 he says, God wants to perfect the will in human history. At 43:25, he says, He empowers us to do what we want. I come to Christ by watching the world and becoming more aware of myself before my fellow man. As my conscience began to work, the Holy Spirit gave me the tool I needed. Conviction of sin. I confessed and repented and allowing the Bible to penetrating and see my fellow man in a different light. I was that sinner he revealed in the Bible and the need of a Savior and the Bible told me plain and simply...that Jesus was that Savior. What a God who die for my sins.

32:00 this is in agreement with actual Islamic framework.

[@ThomasMeierz]

Can you elaborate?

[@no42arak-st-floor44]

in true Islamic (Shariah laws), not referring to any radical and biased/false interpretation of Quraan in order to benefit certain personal preferences; laws, and holt scripture (I e. Quraan, directives) are inseparable. This pertains to taxation, divorce, Will & Succession, etc.
