And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me
with all your heart. Jer 29:13
What is Theology?
Theology is, God talking about Himself, and allowing us in on
the conversation. True Theology is the discourse of divine revelation,
the self disclosure of God, to those who are privileged to hear.
Theology is more than a cerebral speculation about divine things. It is the
subjective work of the Triune God, bringing men and women into an experience of
the Truth , as it is in Jesus Christ. True theology is a beholding of the glory
of God, in the Person of His Son, by the Spirits aide, according to the purpose
of The Father.John 6:45
It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man
therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto
me.
What is Systematic Theology?
It is a consequent of true theology. A natural outflow of the revelation of
God. His person and His work is made known to us , through the scriptures.
Precept upon Precept, Line upon line, Prophet upon Prophet, Apostles and
prophets of the New testament, setting forth the character and nature of God, in
Christ, and the grand scheme of redemption thereby. Systematic theology then, is
the discovery and orderly setting forth of every saving doctrine: from God’s
eternality, to his redeeming glory, and everything in between, revealed in Holy scripture and made plain so as to make all men see their condition,
and need of this glorious Savior who is called God, in Christ. 2tim 3:15
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to
make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
What is Paterology?
Theology proper, is that approach to divine truth which acknowledges God the
Father as the fountain head of all things, and the first cause of everything. He
is the beginning , begetter, and perfecter of all things. He is the one for
which all things were made. He is to be understood as the head and God of all
his creatures and especially man. For which the SON, so fully and effectually
declared Him to be.
The Fatherhood of God, is that true and biblical perspective consistent with
creation, extolling the masculine, loving, husbandry, of God, as the life,
order, sustainer, and redeemer, of all things. The Paternal nature of the True
God, is what the Son has revealed in the gospel, for the comfort and edification
of all the elect.
A denial of the Fatherhood of God, is paganism, and an admission of having
never seen, the SON!
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the
bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. John 1:18
