Subject: What do we need to know about God |
Bible Note: jamison What makes you think that someone who believes in theology today has not tested it out to see if it lined up with what Jesus taught and what the apostles taught? Is it because they don't believe what you believe, whatever that is, that you still have not disclosed what that is? Jesus clarified the law, He set forth new teachings about old things. You are stuck on phraseologies like "mainstream theology" which doesn't mean anything specific. You speak in great generalizations. I think that you would like to think that theologians today can be likened to Pharisees who built their teachings on their misunderstanding of the purpose of the law. Theologians have for centuries built their teachings on what Christ directly taught about everything he addresses, as well as what the apostles taught about what they addressed. There is a real difference between the Pharisees teaching and Christian orothodox theology. You seem very willing to poke at what others believe in challenging them to think outside the box as if they haven't, but very unwilling to say what you really believe about the subject at hand in detail. You still are unwilling to answer Hank's questions. Tell us what your real objections are step by step about "mainstream" theology so that we can properly address your concerns please. It is not very fair of you to tell everybody that your theology is not imortant here while you attempt to get others to explain theirs. John 3:18 He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. I think that Jesus was clear that you have to accept Jesus as savior or perish - you said you could not find where in the Bible that concept. And when I posted you a bunch of scriptures prooving that it is true that the Bible teaches you had nothing to say about that it is true, that the theology is sound, and you moved on to the next part of your point. You can address, or not address anything you please, but are you really willing to put forth what you believe theogically for everyone to see or just "knock" everyone else for having "main stream" theology. peacebestill |
