I'm wondering this because I'm struggling with the reality that I don't even know enough about the various differing views to come to an actual conclusion about my own beliefs. I know it's a…Continue

Katie A replied to Dave Z's discussion Opinions wanted"I rarely respond here but I thought I would chime in.
I don't think you need to lighten up, but just remember that these are your own boundaries and beliefs. And as much as you want her to adopt them as her own, you can't force that…"
Otsukafan replied to Katie A's discussion How did you formulate your theological beliefs?"What is there left to formulate? God is who He is and has revealed Himself to us. We have the scriptures, the Church fathers, 2000 years of history, traditions and practice. It's not about snorkeling on the surface…"
Katie A replied to Chris Kasztner's discussion The Conundrum of All-knowing God, and Prophecy."Can you clarify "IMO, man needed the knowledge of good and evil to become fully in the image of God. God's intent all along was for man to have that knowledge, but he knew how devastating it would be (as well as how glorious) and he wanted…"
Katie A replied to Katie A's discussion How did you formulate your theological beliefs?"Can you elaborate on what you mean?
I'm assuming you mean as "lay-people" we shouldn't formulate beliefs about theology, only follow what is being taught?

Katie A replied to Katie A's discussion How did you formulate your theological beliefs?"Really helpful...thank you!

Norrin Radd replied to Katie A's discussion How did you formulate your theological beliefs?"A portion of one of my replies in the "Women Pastors" thread probably applies here, so I will paste it:
"For my first 19+ years, I was nominally (= non-practicing) Lutheran. Since being "born again" at college a few…"
Harry replied to Katie A's discussion How did you formulate your theological beliefs?"I formed my beliefs by being brought up in the Lutheran faith from birth. I am still studying the a Lutheran Confessions which I believe correctly interrupt Scripture. A side point, why did no one on this site mention the Feast of the Holy Trinity…"
Otsukafan replied to Katie A's discussion How did you formulate your theological beliefs?"It's not my job to form theology. I'm just supposed to help preserve it."
Dave Z replied to Katie A's discussion How did you formulate your theological beliefs?"I have to agree with Jack and Norrin that we need to be instructed by a variety of sources, meaning don't just listen to one guy or one theological perspective. While scripture is preeminent, no one has a perfect understanding of what…"
Norrin Radd replied to Katie A's discussion How did you formulate your theological beliefs?"Umm... Hmm... I guess "trial and error" might be the closest description of the process. I'll illustrate with some examples:
I was raised nominally (i.e. non-practicing) Lutheran, was "born again" around the middle of…"
Katie A replied to Katie A's discussion Please explain Mathew 25:41..."Well, the problem I see, or the question I have is...from a Calvinist point of view. If God elected some to salvation and others not (before the foundation of the world) and God prepared hell for only the devil and his angels, where did he…"
Jack replied to Katie A's discussion Please explain Mathew 25:41..."Harry; Well, couldn't God have invented something like purgatory for losers? Whoops! sorry! someone else already invented that!
"
Harry replied to Katie A's discussion Please explain Mathew 25:41..."The Lutheran Study Bible note states:
MATTHEW—NOTE ON 25:41 cursed. See p 6. eternal fire … angels. Hell was not prepared for human beings. Those who reject the Lord will go there because the wicked cannot stay with the righteous. "
Jack replied to Katie A's discussion How did you formulate your theological beliefs?" Well, I'm approaching my 77th birthday, and am still learning. (Refining my understanding). I spent my first 17 years, in one "christian" church, believing everything that they fed me. THEN, I discovered that they had been lying…"
Jack replied to Katie A's discussion Please explain Mathew 25:41...""Angels" are messengers-servants. The un-saved are children of Satan, have served him, and propagated his lies, and resisted God's Word, all their lives. They are Satan's "angels". (I'm not denying the non-embodied…"
