8 EZ Steps To A Comfortable Theology

1. Approach the Bible as if it is primarily a book of doctrine because that is God's purpose for it and the basis of any solid theology.

2. It is significantly easier if you begin with a theology already in place... probably what you were taught in the past.

3. Continues to use old terms to communicate old understandings. These are reliable.

4. When you find scripture that doesn't fit your theology either ignore it or use a hammer. Hammers are the best.

5. In a similar manner, never listen to anything that doesn't fit your theology. The Spirit has already confirm that you are right.

6. Try to keep God as far away as possible from your theology. Remember God likes to throw wrenches.

7. Never forget that the Bible is a monologue. Don't talk back to God.

8. Finally, continue to tell yourself, unconsciously if possible...If I am wrong then Christ disappears...if I am wrong then I can't trust Christ...thoughts like these will keep you passionate.
