Good vs Bad Theology

        My seminary education was far from perfect. Preparation for the practical aspects of ministry was a bit hit and miss. On the other hand grounding in solid Biblical theology was superb. Since my graduation I've always been grateful for the solid theological education I received.  Living in and through this current pandemic much of the popular theology is appalling. Perhaps bad theology can be illustrated by this imagined dialog with God.

COVID patient in ICU:  "God I thought you'd protect me from COVID."                                                   God replies: "I tried! I offered you three choices of COVID vaccines but you refused to be vaccinated."    

Takk for alt,

Al

Hurray! I found a way to leave a comment! (Clearly, I am a slow learner, but I persist.) It is so good to be back. I adore your blend of theology, humor, farming, and literature. Thank you for your shared writing and thinking. Wishing you well, Al. We missed you and Joanne at the LSS Gala. What amazing and creative ministry they are doing in these challenging times. Blessings, Marilyn
