Bible Question (short): Where can I find a MASTER theologian? |
Question (full): I am a 26 year old male with a neurological quirk that makes me EXTREMELY good at analyzing almost anything... the major exception is people. My social intuition is poor. Please bear with me, I think you will find it worth it. As for denomination I go to a non-denominational church that is closest to Baptist. I have made this as clear as I can in a reasonable lenght of time. If I was too careful with it I would never get it posted. I don't keep track of stuff that doesn't really mean much like denominational names etc. I know I am very far away from being Catholic... I am looking for someone who might be able to help me... after I have some recommendations then to those people I will explain the actual question... until I find such qualified people asking the question itself would actually be counterproductive. Let me explain the type of answer I am looking for below. The short version... I am looking for a MASTER theologian... not someone with a Master's degree in theology, but comparison those are a dime a dozen. I am talking about someone who really knows their stuff. Someone who can support their arguments without referring to other mortal authorities, but let the internal logic of what they say serve in place of that. I am in what I consider to be a rather unusual situation... I have a theological question about how I ought to behave for the greatest glory to Jesus my Savior... that is nothing unusual... what is unusual is the SORT of answer I am looking for. Basically the answer as finally and fully stated must stand on its own merits without giving the least credence to any mortal source as being reliable in its judgment. In other words, God speaks the truth, humans may be in error. For this reason among I will examine the root logic behind everything and that which cannot be proven from factual evidence or from God's word or the Holy Spirit shall be declared to be merely a working hypothesis on the road to a final conclusion. I realize that this is a tall order but I truly feel that God is calling me to seek such a solution and that to do less would be sinful on my part. NOTE ALSO that the answer does NOT have to arrive all nicely packaged. I would accept a sworn traveling companion on my journey, to aid me. A mentor, a partner, a leader, a teacher. I hate treading this path so alone. To say it a different way: Having someone to help me hammer out the solution would be enough, even if their skill were only a little more than mine. I will pray God will send me someone to aid me. P.S. since most everyone I have talked to seems to be so fixated on the question it self rather than the much more important factor of HOW the answer must be phrased in the end I will simply say that it lies in the area of sexual morality as it applies to a single person. Note that any responses that are on this subject without pointing me in the direction of resources (or that ARE resources) that fit the MODE of the answer I want will probably be completely ignored by me. |
