Theology. Truths made complicated?



Definition of Theology; theorically explained in a thesis statement.
[Simple facts made complicated by man]

From an exegetical point of view, the eschatological
structure imposes smothering constraints upon the ramification
of consensus-building. Don't you agree?

Now. The above paragraph paints a classical example of a nonsensical, "makes no sense sentence" that contains no truths.Honestly, isn't sometimes theology of God are depicted this way? However as surprisingly as it is, many eyes sparkle upon these. Question is why?

On a personal note, the theology lesson in WFL: The Grandeur of God, was heaven and earth as compared. I believe theology of God was not meant to be recieved in complicating ways, for a simple reason: Because God longs to be known. However, this does not nesseccarily means it will always be similar to reading enid blyton series.

And though even Peter admitted that parts of God's Word are difficult, understanding them is possible and beneficial. We are finite humans and as such we have finite minds that do not have limitless understanding, but we have a perfect helper who dwells in us that will enable us to understand God's perfect Word.

All in all, I honestly believe in one thing: Since God has given the bible as it is, it is believer's responsibility and joy to seek understanding of it, not to be contented with the level of our knowledge, and believe that certain doctrines are above our pay grade.

Know what?! Suddenly, I have a new urge. The foremost thing once I reached the gates of heaven, (after enjoying the long applause), I will sprint to God for an encyclopedia. I look forward to discover what is unknown. Let this be the motivation to the never-ending desire of chasing, for the understanding of God in my life on earth.
