>> “Every theological student who errs, does so by straying out of fellowship first.” <<

I would say that most ‘theology’ students were never in fellowship.

Theology is just the all-encompassing term for man made beliefs that are promulgated as Biblical truth.

Believers have no need for theology, nor ‘interpretation.’

Believers read and hear the word of God, and thereby find faith, through the work of the Holy Spirit.

Theologians believe in their beliefs and interpretations, and have no need for the Holy Spirit.

I was unaware that pomposity, arrogance, and judgmentalism were in such short supply here that such strenuous efforts were needed to replenish them.

This is very well said. It's where I've finally gotten to while trying to understand Christian Faith and the "denominationally damaged" christians amongst us and throughout history.

You can't always tell by looking, but often can by listening. And not just with others, but also with ourselves and our own internal dialog.

Is that so? I'm a theologian, and almost every theologian I know walks in the light with Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
