42. Bad theology needs good theology to as the most effective counter

Thu Aug 23, 2018, 12:39 AM

Aug 2018

By bad theology I mean beliefs that contradict the teachings of Jesus, and good theology is consistent with Christ's teachings.

For people who claim to be Christians but don't follow Jesus, it's the feedback of those who do know and follow him that is most likely to cause those holding bad theological beliefs to rethink. And if not them, then maybe those who have just leaned in that direction will hear the true words and turn away from it.

The Talibangelicals' version needs to be countered by those who actually try to do as Jesus would have done. The media spends almost all their time on the former.
