BEWARE, THEOLOGIANS

Two biggest, universal, prevalent pitfalls in theology:

1-Quoting man and man-made terms in place of the the Bible.

2-Quoting Bible verses most of the time to back up man-made statements.

– – –

Solutions:

1-Skip man-made terms of theology, not in the Bible.

(The Bible itself has plenty of words to describe God and explain His Word, without elevating our words to doctrinal status.)

2-Let the Bible speak for itself.

Let the Bible speak first.

Get doctrines and beliefs directly from the Bible, not from man.

(“Trust Me” can be as dangerous from a theologian as from a politician.)

The above title—dual meaning:

Beware of theologians at work.

and

Theologians beware.
