#TheologyThursday

A rich and inspiring #TheologyThursday tonight with @uofgeducation.bsky.social
We explored how Catholic faith, values, and identity shape ethical leadership, the meaning of social justice in schools, and the call for Catholic schools to be centres of excellence—reflecting God in all they do.

Two books laying on a gray cushion. The Idolatry of God by Peter Rollins, and Your God is Too Small by J. B. Phillips

A pair of books grappling in different ways with a major problem in cataphatic theology.

Q: What does it mean that God hardened pharaoh's heart? Doesn't pharaoh have free will?

Christ’s Dual Nature: Insights from Early Church Councils The controversies surrounding Christology in early Christianity emphasized the nature of Christ as both fully human and divine. Originating from debates post-Council of Nicaea, theologians like Apollinaris and Nestorius presented opposing views. The Council of Chalcedon affirmed a union of natures in Christ, asserting it is crucial for understanding salvation through His incarnation.

For theology Thursday I written about the early Church and some of the enlargements over the nature and study of #Jesus Christ known as #Christology. #theologythursday #theology #history #thechurch #faith #christianity

It's #TheologyThursday post your favorite verses 🙏🏿

a gnome playing a guitar with the words love is my weapon music is my religion written below him Alt: A cartoon of a gnome wearing a tie-dye turban and playing a guitar with the words "love is my weapon, music is my religion!" written below him

OK. I am on my way to get cracked and hope that the ice isn't too bad along the way...

Meanwhile, let's play #TheologyThursday #AMA!

What questions do you have about my #theology? Or about #UnitarianUniversalism?

Ask away!

It’s #TheologyThursday for Thanksgiving. The Western idea of a pantheon of Gods like Olympus isn’t the same as the Mesoamerican concept of what we call their “Gods”. Tlaloc isn’t the “God of Storms” as much as “a mythical deity associated with storms”.

If #God created and actively orchestrates everything, then God can operate in ways that are perceived by humans to be impossible.

An all-knowing, all-powerful, and ever-present God has no limits.

This is the foundation of my rationale for a literal interpretation of the #Bible.

#TheologyThursday

Regardless of #faith, we worship what’s most important to us.

When you think of worship, images of singing and prayer probably come to mind.

At its core, worship is devotion, praise, and self-sacrifice.

Do you #worship the Creator above the things that have been created?

#TheologyThursday

Disbelief does not exempt someone from meeting their Maker.

If disbelief is right, we cease to exist at death.

If disbelief is wrong, we likely face an eternity of regret.

If you were the Maker, would you accept someone who rejected you throughout their entire life on earth?

#TheologyThursday

It would be totally reasonable for an all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present Creator of everything to have expectations for the behavior of It’s creation.
#TheologyThursday

Two takes on our origins:

1) Nothing can’t create something, it is no-thing.

2) To not require a preceding creator, the original creator would have also created the concepts of time, matter, and creation itself.

Creator created creation 🤯
