Can Theology Define God’s Nature? – Earl L. Henn cgg.org

Ryan Welsh Ryan Welsh 2 years ago in God

Over the centuries, debates over God’s nature have sparked theological controversies. Some argue that the Bible alone isn’t enough to fully grasp God’s essence, leading to the rise of theological speculation. While theology is often equated with doctrines, it’s essentially a structured examination of human reasoning about God. However, relying solely on human logic can yield flawed conclusions, contradicting biblical truths.

Theological reasoning often starts with biblical premises but can diverge into interpretations that stray from Scripture. For instance, theologians may deduce that God lacks form based on His creation of space and time. Yet, such deductions overlook Scripture’s depiction of God’s image and interactions with Moses.

One major flaw in theological reasoning is its elevation of human intellect over divine wisdom. Scripture warns against this, highlighting God’s preference for humility over intellectual pride. Moreover, human logic is inherently limited, especially when applied to spiritual matters beyond our comprehension.

Analogies from science, like quantum mechanics, underscore the inadequacy of human reasoning in grasping unseen realities. Arguments reducing God to mathematical equations are dismissed as philosophical nonsense.

Ultimately, theology alone cannot fully reveal God’s nature; it’s the Bible that provides the authoritative source. Paul’s counsel in Corinthians cautions against speculative reasoning, emphasizing the need to rely solely on what’s written in Scripture. Therefore, true spiritual understanding arises from humble submission to God’s Word, rejecting human wisdom in favor of divine revelation.
