What would be your purpose in studying theology?

I want to be another Aquinas who will fix this mess by getting trads to unite and overthrow the Vatican. someone must do it.   :scratchchin:


Well, you'll only join the rest of the NOers in their ecuмaniac ways after they teach you their theology - what makes you think you can go to [them] for modernist theology training, and come out another Aquinas, anyway?




Unfortunately, soulguard thinks that he can learn something from
reading Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) and other corrupt modern
philosophers like him, and there are plenty to choose from.
 
But don't try to tell him it's dangerous, because then he'll hate you for
telling him the truth.  



If he wants to really have some fun, he should dabble in Pierre Teilhard
de Chardin (1881-1955), Hans Kueng (1928-), Karl Rahner (1904-1984)
and Edward Schillebeeckx (1914-2009).  They'll save him a lot of time,
because they take Kant and apply him to the doctrines of the Church.  

Then, soulguard, you won't even need to study theology,
because you will be ABOVE theology!  

Won't that be great?!

Quote from: Jaynek
I have a Master of Divinity degree.  In my experience, one is taught and exposed to a lot of bad ideas when studying theology at a mainstream college.  I would not recommend it.  I expect it to be harmful to your faith.



There is no question but that it is devastating to your faith.

Anyone who can survive these modern mainstream college theology
courses either didn't need it in the first place (like overqualified due
to private study or whatever) or else it's simply a miracle.  

But God doesn't generally grant miracles like that.  He has done so
in the past, but it has been EXTREMELY rare.  The vast majority of
persons who achieve great learning do not do so by divine
intervention and infusion of knowledge (although it is not impossible,
for anything is possible with God).
