I think that I'm just gonna let Realboy do all my theological posts from now on.
Here's more from him, on deepening one's understanding of theology:
It seems to me necessary, however, that love for Christ demands that our theology be critically engaged with subjects that He deemed important enough to speak frequently about. If we are indeed to believe His words, we must first ask what they mean, otherwise we will not know what it is we are committing ourselves to. Without asking this and other questions, we won't come to a proper faith at all; we will simply be swallowing the clothing of words that the content of faith wears. And that is an atrocious possibility, one that Hitler used to his full advantage. There is nothing more powerful and easily exploitable than blind faith, which Christians often mislabel "faith like a child".

We must have read each other's mind. I just posted a personal one.
I'll elaborate on the interview in the next one.
Was JJ too horribly upset that I didn't call on his birthday? I've since sent him an email, but then remembered that the computer is broken. :S
Give him hugs and apologize for me.
Love you.
