Comments on: simple, yet profoundly glorious http://ryancouch.com/archives/63 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 08:18:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: William Shaw http://ryancouch.com/archives/63#comment-39 William Shaw Sat, 28 Jun 2008 19:32:28 +0000 http://ryancouch.com/archives/63#comment-39 I too have heard that "new theology" preached on many occasions and every time I hear it I can't help but feel like that really wasn't what the preacher meant to say. And if only I could sit down with him then maybe he would tell me that I heard wrong or just didn't understand. I feel like the "glory conclusion" is a theology that is arrived at by a process of dedcutive reasoning in the scriptures. It is an attempt to make the praxis of God as logical as we possbily can. Rather than just saying that "God is love" and that He saves us because He loves us, it is taken a step further. You are very right when you say that the difference between these two theologies will lead us to two very different views concerning the character of God. blessings to you and Jenny.
