Definition of Theology - The science of God or of
religion; the science which treats of the existence, character, and attributes
of God, his laws and government, the doctrines we are to believe, and the duties
we are to practice; divinity; (as more commonly understood) "the knowledge
derivable from the Scriptures, the systematic exhibition of revealed truth, thae
science of Christian faith and life."
"Those who
maintain ‘There was a time when the Son was not’ rob God of his Word, like
plunderers." Athanasius "No one but one who is God-man can make the
satisfaction by which man is saved." Anselem "In order that men might have knowledge of God,
free of doubt and uncertainty, it was necessary for divine truth to be delivered
to them by way of faith, being told to them as it were, by God himself who
cannot lie." Thomas Aquinas "Faith is awe in the presence of the divine incognito; it is the love of God
that is aware of the qualitative difference between God and man and God and the
world." Karl Barth "If I profess with the
loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except
precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that moment
attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing
Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved, and
to be steady on all the battlefield besides, is mere flight and disgrace if he
flinches at that point. " Martin Luther
"At last meditating day and night, by the mercy of
God, I began to understand that the righteousness of God is that through which
the righteous live by a gift of God, namely by faith. Here I felt as if I were
entirely born again and had entered paradise itself through the gates that had
been flung open." Martin Luther "Can a
mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think.
All nonsense questions are unanswerable." C.S. Lewis "I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use." Galileo Galilei “Blessed are the ears that hear the pulse of the divine whisperer, and give no heed to the many whisperings of the world” Thomas Kempis "You don't have a Soul. You are a Soul. You have a body." C.S. Lewis "A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell." C.S. Lewis "A God who allowed us to prove his existence would be an idol." Dietrich Bonhoeffer "I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use." Galileo Galilei
