  4. Modernism Distorted sense of certainty Man in his pride thinks he is God Truth without God Postmodernism Distorted sense of uncertainty Man in his “humility” will not speak boldly for God God without Truth

  5. 7 TENETS OF POSTMODERNISM Unlimited variation of words No rules of logic to govern dialog No limits to defining meaning No metanarrative Defiance of authority Deconstruction of Truth Relativism

  6. Trajectory

  7. Genesis 3:1-4 Compared to Genesis 2:16-17 “He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.” “And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

  8. TO DISBELIEVE & DISOBEY THE BIBLE TO DISBELIEVE & DISOBEY GOD TO BELIEVE & OBEY THE BIBLE TO BELIEVE & OBEY GOD

  9. IS THERE A GOD? “IT’S NOT THE ABSENCE OF EVIDENCE. IT’S THE SUPPRESSION OF IT.” Romans 1:18-19 Psalms 14:1; 53:1 NATURE TELLS US THERE IS A GOD Romans 1:20 Psalm 19:1-2 WE HAVE AN INNER SENSE THAT GOD EXISTS. Romans 1:21&25 Hebrews 11:6 THE HOLY SPIRIT, THROUGH SCRIPTURE, CONFIRMS IN OUR HEART – THERE IS A GOD! Romans 8:15-16 MORAL RIGHT & WRONG / JUSTICE Declaration of Independence – inalienable rights

  10. 10 ATTRIBUTES OF GOD OMINIPRESENT – Psalm 139:8 OMNIPOTENT – Mark 14:36a OMNISCIENT – 1 John 3:20b LOVE – 1 John 4:8 CREATOR/LIFE-GIVER – Acts 17:24-25 UNCHANGING – Malachi 3:6 ETERNAL – Psalm 90:2; Revelation 1:8 HOLY – Isaiah 6:3;Revelation 15:4 JEALOUS – Deuteronomy 4:23-24 NEVER LIES – Proverbs 30:5-6; Titus 1:1-2)

  11. Two truths in direct opposition to postmodernism • Truth exists and the Bible is the statement of all truth. • There is a true metanarrative and it is in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation

  12. TRUTH EXISTS AND SCRIPTURE IS THE STATEMENT OF ALL TRUTH.

  13. 5 Categories of Scientific Knowledge found in Genesis 1:1 In the beginning (time) God (force) created (action) the heavens (space) and the earth (matter).

  14. NORMA NORMANS NON NORMATA The norm of norms that cannot be normed

  15. THERE IS A TRUE METANARATIVE AND IT IS GENESIS TO REVELATION

  16. Creation of Man The term translated in English as man is the Hebrew word A-dam. This is a collective noun that has a plural membership. A-dam is male and female.

  17. Point of Agreement The male and female (A-dam) are created equally in God’s image with equal importance and equal value. Point of Disagreement The birth order and the resulting differences in roles and responsibilities were established by God (Genesis 2) before the Fall in Genesis chapter 3.

  18. Definition of the Fall The original human lapse from God and godliness into sin and lostness. (The Reformation Study Bible)

  19. BEFORE THE FALL Full equality of God’s image, value, importance Leadership role of the man Helper role of the woman Unity of 1 man / 1 woman in marriage THIS IS GOOD! AFTER THE FALL Disparity in relationship Distortion of roles Difficulty and pain in areas of responsibility THE CURSE!

  20. The Metanarrative Christ restores the primary roles of men and women Paul reaffirms this restoration.

  21. AS BIBLICAL WOMEN IN A POSTMODERN CULTURE WE WILL: Declare that God’s Word is Truth to a world that deconstructs truth. Declare that God’s Word is our authority to a world that debunks authority. Declare the Truth about biblical womanhood to a world that believes the distortion of that Truth. Live and tell the Truth to the glory of God! A BIBLICAL WOMAN STANDS ON THE WORD OF GOD.

  22. The Decisions We Face
