Bible Note: Hello DP Martin,

I'm not sure where we're getting off-track here? I'm not referring to mere "theism". I'm speaking of theology as it relates to the believer! The matter related to a Biblical theology is Christ-centered, not theistic! There's a big difference.

You ask, "So what “maturity” is there in holding on to something that may be contrary to what the Lord God thinks and knows?" That would depend what your talking about. I'm not positive of what answer you're looking for, but there is most definitely a "biblical maturity" that's spoken of. That again is what I'm referring to. We get to know our faith- our Saviour through the written Word, not experientially. Note:

Eph 4:13-14, "until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.
As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;"

Heb 5:12-14, "For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant.

But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil." (NASB)

Heb 6:1 "Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,"

All of this relates to our theology whether we're aware of it or not!

Perhaps you could share a bit about yourself in the User Profile? Knowing something about your "theological" background, beliefs, i.e. church affiliation can be helpful in a discussion such as this:-)

Speaking the Truth in Love,
