Started this bible study Monday and I'm loving it already. I'm looking forward to diving into the subject of sound biblical theology and how it deepens my relationship with God and others.
Already I've learned:
(Definitions derived from Greek Words)
- Theology = theologia = a belief system and world view based on the promises and parameters found in God's Word.
- Theos = God; Logos = Words/conversation.
- Hermeneutic = the lens through which we see and understand.
- Orthodoxy = Orthos = right; Doxa = belief
- Ask yourself, is what I claim about God in line with Scripture and the core beliefs of the Christian faith?
- Orthopraxy = Orthos = right; Praxis = practice
- Ask yourself, does what I claim compel me toward right ways of living?
- Orthopathy = Orthos = right; Pathos = feeling
- Ask yourself, is my heart and emotion attuned to God in light of my theology?
This study has already got my blood pumping and excited for learning more. I can't wait to do day 2's solo work/homework today. I'm looking forward to sharing more with you as I do this bible study.
