1 | Why are there disagreements... | 2 Tim 2:15 | kalos | 109726 | ||
New Creature: I'm not aware that anyone has stated or implied that one cannot be a humble servant (and prayer warrior) without being a theologian. However, it has repeatedly been implied that one must choose to be one or the other -- that it's either humble servant or theologian. That one couldn't be both at the same time. Please understand that in saying these things, I am not targeting you or implying that this is how you think. I'm just saying that generally speaking, these are the attitudes of many, many people. I've encountered these attitudes for half a century -- long before I ever heard of the Internet, let alone this forum. Be assured that even if I were to disagree with or challenge something you've written (most of the time I agree with you), I consider you a friend, one who is like minded in the things of the Lord. Peace, kalos |

Kalos, Good News? THEOL'OGY, n. [Gr. God, and discourse.] Divinity; the science of God and divine things; or the science which teaches the existence, character and attributes of God, his laws and government, the doctrines we are to believe, and the duties we are to practice. Theology consists of two branches, natural and revealed. Natural theology is the knowledge we have of God from his works, by the light of nature and reason. Revealed theology is that which is to be learned only from revelation. Moral theology, teaches us the divine laws relating to our manners and actions, that is, our moral duties. Theology, teaches or explains the doctrines of religion, as objects of faith. Scholastic theology, is that which proceeds by reasoning, or which derives the knowledge of several divine things from certain established principles of faith. PUB'LISH, v.t. [L.publico. See Public.] 1. To discover or make known to mankind or to people in general what before was private or unknown; to divulge, as a private transaction; to promulgate or proclaim, as a law or edict. We publish a secret, by telling it to people without reserve. Laws are published by printing or by proclamation. Christ and his apostles published the glad tidings of salvation. Th' unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator's power display; And publishes to every land The work of an Almighty hand. 2. To send a book into the world; or to sell or offer for sale a book, map or print. 3. To utter; to put off or into circulation; as, to publish a forged or counterfeit paper. 4. To make known by posting, or by reading in a church; as, to publish banns of matrimony. We say also, the persons intending marriage are published; that is, their intention of marriage is published. According to Webster’s some of you may already be published theologians—and right here on this forum. Colin |
