Theology. Literally, “the study of God.” This is outside of true Christianity. “Theology” is a foreign and philosophical conception that may be engaged devotedly and exhaustively without the motivational belief that a definitive and final demonstration of the reality of the God of its subject has been revealed. As a purely intellectual activity, this theology cannot show God to be more than a concept. Christian theology of the NT writers was never systematized and codified but was assumed predicated exclusively upon the implications from the outworking of the messianic oracles as fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth, which eclipsed the era of the past, before the revelation of Christ, when all man had to discern God was concept, proposition, reason, emotion, tradition and logical axioms.
