It just simply means that a right belief leads to right living. What we believe about Jesus, or the Father, or the Holy Spirit, leads us to behave in certain ways. Aberrations are everywhere of course: the Emergent village, Mormonism, cults of all kinds. I guess in relation to these posts, knowing the Truth about Jesus should put us in the upper right quadrant of the graph you presented in the follow up post.

I've experienced a lot of REAL life and what I've known in those circumstances about God and the way He works, loves, keeps, instructs, etc, has been my refuge. I also think that a proper theology breeds Christlikeness.

I think I'...should I or shouldn't I? hmmmm. I think I'm still really close to the 'theology nazi' phase. I mean... look around you. Most or too many people have no clue what Truth is or what the Bible says about things. Rather, folks want to put their thoughts and feelings right up there with the veracity of the Holy Scriptures. NO WAY! That's a sure-fired way to screw things up. I'm fed up with the pastor who has untethered himself from the Solid Rock of Jesus Christ in order to coddle and pander to a group of people who want to 'play nice' in the middle of a battlefield. So play down the truth and play up the 'feelings' and the warm fuzzies and the sovereignty of man in setting his own path to God. Its shameful and arrogant.<br /> I realize I may still want my black & white to be where is doesn't belong, but I'll err on the side of Truth if I have to. I've seen the other side for 40+ yrs. Erring on the side of grace may sound 'holy and righeous', but it may be nothing short of pandering to the flesh. <br /> This is why we need solid theology from the Word of God. Correct, biblically informed theology is an anchor for our hearts and minds.<br /><br />Jennapants may want her moment to 'feel'... but the Truth is the same yesterday, today and FOREVER. God is Truth... our pride will always offer a way to set ourselves above the truth. The 'theological' truth is what we need most... it is an anchor for the soul. Without it we are tossed about by every wind of doctrine.<br /><br />Sorry if its coming across preachy.. I just have been to the other side and it ain't glory.<br /><br />I agree Chris... having your theology correct is of paramount importance. Know God's Word... listen to Him speak/breathe it out to you daily.<br /><br />I hope and pray my love will be eternal and not temporal in its focus and impact.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
