Did she not say clearly evangelical theology? You imply that one has to go "free range" to be in Jesus' pasture. Once again your opinion. How about just helping a person in need in stead of trying to convert them to your way of thinking hmm?
Read my last post. Jesus had it pretty well covered with His two commandments and the Lord's prayer. As for evangelical theology.,.. ok evangelical philosophy on scripture.
To study and know the nature and will of God. Not an easy task by any means .Hi there, my name is Victoria, and I am currently in Bible college and one of my current classes is Christian Theology and I am really confused. I am reading a book called Evangelical Theology written by Karl Barth, and I am just overall confused, what is theology? What is the point to theology?
Theology currently does not make any sense to me, is there any way that someone would be able to explain theology to me in a way that would make sense to me and help me understand what is going on. I have to read a bunch of the book, and tomorrow I have a quiz on a different theology book from the same class. I just do not know what to do as theology is seeming to make no sense to me. Thanks!
Once again, if that is your opinion then why bother posting here when the girl is clearly asking for help with her studies in college, and not for some alternate perspective on Christianity?
Yes I understand. They are new and must not consider there is an alternative to theology.

Why do you assume it is your place to give it when not asked? I'm not trying to be rude but I am really getting sick of every single thread on this board that could actually be constructive and interesting getting derailed by the same few people that post some vague unrelated word salad.
What you say is what the early gentile church said, our way. That is the difference between institutional Christianity and actually living it. One likes to be in control while God sets us free.

Everyone has the right to know there is an alternative to man's traditional ways. It is what Jesus came to teach. The world desperately tries to hold onto it's own and away from the Kingdom.
But I shall move on so you may continue to hover to hang onto what you hope is one of your own, and the world of man continues to splinter Christianity and form new denominations built upon differing theology. The scriptures stay the same fortunately..
self certain? Yes the scriptures have not changed, neither have the teachings of the apostles and Church fathers
My divisiveness is between the world of man and the Kingdom as Jesus taught. That is divisiveness over far greater things than the petty differences of man.Yet you accuse us as being the divisive ones
Contradiction there. The Apostles taught the Gospel of the Kingdom. Church fathers of the institutionalised church taught their philosophies to fill in for the removal of the Gospel of the Kingdom to have Christianity still make some sense.
And by the early gentile church I should have stipulated the later institutionalised church of the Roman gentiles post Paul.
Oh yes I forgot that you believe the Church ceased to be the true Church after the Gentiles "infiltrated" it. Forget the fact that the fathers such as St. Ignatius as St. Polycarp were literally hand picked by the apostles. St. Ignatius even met Christ as a child.

Evangelicalism, evangelical Christianity, or evangelical Protestantism, is a worldwide, transdenominational movement within Protestant Christianity which maintains the belief that the essence of the Gospel consists of the doctrine of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ's atonement. Evangelicals believe in the centrality of the conversion or "born again" experience in receiving salvation, in the authority of the Bible as God's revelation to humanity, and in spreading the Christian message. The movement has had a long presence in the Anglosphere before spreading further afield in the 19th, 20th and early 21st centuries.
Its origins are usually traced to 1738, with various theological streams contributing to its foundation, including English Methodism, the Moravian Church (in particular its bishop Nicolaus Zinzendorf and his community at Herrnhut), and German Lutheran Pietism. Preeminently, John Wesley and other early Methodists were at the root of sparking this new movement during the First Great Awakening. Today, evangelicals are found across many Protestant branches, as well as in various denominations not subsumed to a specific branch. Among leaders and major figures of the evangelical Protestant movement were John Wesley, George Whitefield, Jonathan Edwards, Billy Graham, Bill Bright, Harold John Ockenga, John Stott and Martyn Lloyd-Jones. The movement gained great momentum during the 18th and 19th centuries with the Great Awakenings in Great Britain and the United States.
It is important to realise that most orthodox churches are not holders of evangelical theology while still preaching the evangel or Good News.
My granddaughter is at a theological college. But to answer has anyone...? Hasn't everyone? I think we all do. Just in different ways. I accepted Jesus at 9 years old. Hardly a PhD level decision. I lived like the devil in me many times. But when I came home (like the prodigal son) I sought a deeper understanding, not a deeper belief. I believed. I followed. I did. But I wanted more just for the sake of knowing more because I am a wanting to know more person. I love the study. There is nothing wrong with being a student of our sovereign God.Has anyone considered simply following and living by His will?
Worked for the earliest followers of Jesus.
