INDUCTIVE REASON

Gather biblical facts and use them to draw

general conclusion.
DEDUCTIVE REASONING
What is logically required in light of the
facts?
RETRODUCTIVE REASONING
Are the pieces are properly related?
It begins with generalization to prove an
idea
Examples

Prove there is ONE God

1. There is One God.

2. The Father is God.
3. The Son is God.
4. The Holy Spirit is God.

Deductive:

God must be One in three because there is one God

Retroductive /Abduction

1. If God is one in a different sense, then He is three in person

2. If God is One in His essence; then in His nature, He is three

Prove That Jesus is God

Inductive Reasoning
1. There is One God
2. The Father is God
3. Jesus claims that He and His Father are ONE

Deductive
1. If The Father is God and equal in oneness

(attribute/characters/NOT personhood) with the Son; therefore,

the Son must be God.
Jesus embodies all the godly attributes of the Godhead bodily .
He is God final(complete/fullness) physical revelation. To know

The kingdom of God manifests on earth when Christ is alive in us
as doers of His commandments. The richness of the Kingdom

sinners because we are blessed with every spiritual blessing in
