The Profound Doctrines of the Bible (1 of 3 notes)

Part Two
Bibliology: 9 BIBLE EVIDENCES
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY

By Charles F Baker

1. The Doctrine of God. There is no comparison between the character of the God of the Bible and the god or gods of other religions. The gods of the Greek pantheon are depicted as coming down to Mt. Olympus and indulging in all manner of drunken orgies. The gods of the Hindus are cruel and repulsive. Ganesa, the elephant-headed god, the god of the school children, is a great glutton who is fond of drinking beer and eating pancakes. Kali, the goddess of blood, is a horrible creature with four arms, smeared with blood, wearing a necklace of skulls and a girdle made of men’s hands.²  On the other hand, the God of the Bible is personal, holy, loving, kind, just, provident, all-wise and all powerful; so gracious that He condescended to take upon Himself human nature that He might taste death for every man.
