Theology

From Michael Williams “As Far as the Curse is Found”

  • The point to glean here is that our doctrinal orthodoxy does not save us.
  • Certainly, Scripture puts great emphasis on right doctrine.
  • As a theologian, in the doctrine business, so to speak, I have no interest in depreciating the importance of right belief.
  • But doctrine, even orthodox doctrine, is not the final test of Christian faith.
  • One might be most rigorous in biblical and creedal orthodoxy but spiritually dead.
  • Theological acumen and doctrinal knowledge are no measure of godliness.
  • And as with Abraham, God’s choosing and saving us does not require us to have first attained complete theological proficiency
