Thoughts on Theology

The great theologian Augustine (Bishop of Hippo 396-430AD) says theology is “Rational discussion respecting the deity.”

A Christian might say a definition of theology sounds like this: “The study of God through the revelation contained in Scripture.” The problem here is that this excludes non Christian religions who define their theology different… note I didn’t say wrong, just different.

ALL people have a theology of one sort or another. For example, If you believe there is no God, then that is your theology, known as Atheism. If you believe in Buddha, then that is your theology…so on and so on.

I’ll go with this definition from C. Michael Patton, Th. M. of “The Theology Program” , Theology is a belief system concerning deity.

Here lies the 1^st problem… As soon as you start to shoot your mouth off (thoughts with air behind them), you are now a target and may need to wear a helmet…. (read about this at Rob’s blog… here…)
