A Personal Theology Analysis

Improved Essays
When the author pointed out the differences about how the Catholic church and Protestants receives theology was incredible. I thought it was unique to show the differences between the way each theologian thinks. As a catholic, I can relate to having a theological background using a very traditional viewpoint and inspirations. Our tradition is kept and guaranteed through each one of our popes. Many Protestants excludes our cannons because they were not recognized as scriptures by the Jewish people. I felt like this argument showed how valuable and how different each domination is. I feel as though many feels like Catholic’s don’t follow the bible word by word, but we do just in a very traditional way. My personal theology is produced in canon formation. I think theology is based on tradition because as a …show more content…
Making many changes to become accepted by others around them. Many change either their personality or appearance. People’s opinions about others affect more than just their feelings, but everything about them. I thought this quote really defined the world today. The only person who can change the person you are is, God. Although, first you have to truly know him before you change. I think people should realize that nobody can change how God made you. No surgery or personally change will really change the vision God has for you, no matter what people say about you. I feel like this quote will affect the way we see theology as well. Theology is the study of God and the reasons behind what he does. I think so many of us want to change for the better but don’t have that true theological knowledge of the Holy Spirt. I think when we can fully connect with God, we will see a big change in the person we are. I think people will see that it's not important to change for the people around us, but for God himself. To change for the better and make God proud of his

    As I was reading this article I was angry and felt as if i would not agree with anything said, however, once I regarded the time period and allowed myself to be open to the opinions of others, I began to see some similarities. They were few, but similarities nonetheless. I agree with Macarthur in the aspect of some psychologists disregarding the ability to be assisted by prayer, reading the Bible and meditation with God. I believe that those things are important and vital to finding peace and well as strength through mental and emotional difficulties. Practicing “Christian” Psychologists should never advise against them or promote activity that go against Biblical teaching.…

    The Love of God God is the creator of all life and he is the highest of all powers, he embodies all ‘persons’ (The Father, The Son, and The Spirit). Although we cannot be as him, we should try to follow his guidance. In this world, it is easy to get wrapped in earthly things. We are humans, and many of times we fail by trying to hold a certain status, gain certain materialistic possessions, and cause great emotional/physical harm to one another. In my beliefs, that is not the way one should live.…
