When meditating on Romans 1:21 a while back, this thought came to me: The most basic definition of theology is the right knowledge of God. Therefore, a theologian, should he rightly know God as He is, must at the very least honor Him as God, and as a result, his newfound perspective of the world and life should cause him to give thanks to God (Rom 1:21). Yet, depraved men will not and cannot do either, though both expressions are so obviously elementary. Lettered “theologians” who head universities, are published in prestigious journals, and yet are unregenerate are like a Nobel laureate physicist who denies electromagnetism or a Fields medaled mathematician who rejects simple addition. Still, even sadder are the panelists who awarded him the laureate and the congregations who acknowledge the medal. Indeed, even if it is such a basic statement uttered in an obscure village in some unknown rain forest, the first confession of “Jesus is Lord!” from a newborn Christian’s mouth is truer theology than the combined erudition of all unbelieving theologian from every age, and he a truer theologian than all of them... Very interested in what Mueller has to say about True theologians...Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02338718753812499544noreply@blogger.com
