LittleDavid View Profile History	Is theology compromised when theologians disagree⁉️ Posted : 27 Nov, 2024 06:30 PM A friend tells me no one’s particular point of view (or theology) can be trusted because there’s no way to prove who is really right. My friend doesn’t seem to understand the incoherence in her own argument. If she’s saying that no one’s point of view can be trusted—then carried to its logical conclusion, no one can trust her point of view asserting that no one’s point of view can be trusted. Post Reply
LittleDavid View Profile History	Is theology compromised when theologians disagree⁉️ Posted : 27 Nov, 2024 06:50 PM That’s right, if carried to its logical conclusion, then no one should trust my friend’s point of view when she says that no one’s point of view can be trusted. Unfortunately, she’s not the only one who thinks this way. Many theologians likewise fail. That’s why D A Carson wrote a book entitled “Exegetical Fallacies”. It’s a well written book. Nevertheless, D A Carson doesn’t always follow his own exegetical advice. Post Reply
Handyman62 View Profile History	Is theology compromised when theologians disagree⁉️ Posted : 28 Nov, 2024 07:50 AM I believe part of Satan's plan is to inject as much complication and confusion into the scriptures as possible. Obviously the Bible is both simple and complicated and so understanding all of it is quite frankly impossible for any one person to grasp it all. I think that most people would be way ahead by cutting out the middle man by rejecting most of the different interpretations and just get back to the basics of what the Bible say's. Post Reply

It's theological relativism that is used as a pretext for not surrendering to Jesus Christ. The age-old arguments there is so many denominations , not even scholars can agree etc etc. When that gets presented i give a very overly simplistic analogy that goes like this. You're the driver of a vehicle with three other passengers . Blocks ahead is a street light. 2️⃣ Of the passenger say it's green, one says it's yellow. But you see it as red So are you willing to abandon your adopted ill-fated philosophy of relativism & stop for the red light, or continue on with it jeopardizing your existence as well as your passengers ❓❓ If this doesn't resonate then give them the russian roulette analogy Would you play Russian roulette for $200 ❓❓ or $1,000 ❓❓ or $20,000 ❓❓ most people would say no. Okay and chances are you wouldn't play that game for any amount of money with your eternity. But think of this , every tick of the clock is a click of the gun Because every tick of the clock is a chance for you to get saved & get your heart Right with Jesus Christ. Fact is it's a matter of time before the gun will go off Hebrews 9:27 & there is no second chances no second game of russian roulette 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷 Sounds like an ultimatum from the jigsaw horror movies 🧩🧩 but sometimes it helps those projecting the grand illusion of relativism to dispel it Post Reply

LittleDavid View Profile History	Is theology compromised when theologians disagree⁉️ Posted : 28 Nov, 2024 10:00 AM For sure HC The good o’relativistic collapsible argument. It goes like this: It’s the theory that value judgments, such as of truth, beauty, or morality, have no universal validity but are valid only for the persons or groups holding them. Observe the lack of logic here. If the philosophy of relativism has no universal validity of truth then logically we must conclude that relativism is a colossal and universal absurdity. Post Reply

LittleDavid View Profile History	Is theology compromised when theologians disagree⁉️ Posted : 30 Nov, 2024 12:39 AM John 3:19And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men 👉loved the darkness rather than the Light👈👉because their deeds were evil👈. 20Everyone who does evil 👉hates the Light👈, and 👉👉does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed👈👈. 21But 👉whoever practices the truth comes into the Light👈, so that it may be 👉seen clearly👈 that what he has done has been accomplished in God.” That says it all. Those who love the philosophy of darkness can’t understand the philosophy of light and truth simply because they can’t see the truth while blinded by their chosen darkness. Post Reply
LittleDavid View Profile History	Is theology compromised when theologians disagree⁉️ Posted : 4 Dec, 2024 06:50 PM Ok, so we’ve established one reason why theologians disagree. Sin causes theologians to disagree. A good biblical example of this would be the Pharisees and Sadducees. Jesus pointed this out to them because their anti-biblical traditions allowed them to circumvent the mosaic law and to justify their sin. A second reason theologians disagree is because of institutional ignorance. For example: many Bible students are “educated” in a “protected” denominational echo chamber. Post Reply
