How we should speak of God

Let me be honest here, although I love theology I sometime hate talking about it.......

To often we talk about what we know about God and we forget about what we do not know. We forget that our theology needs to leave room for mystery.

I also have a firm belief that all theology is flawed. Paul says that, We only know in part. (1 Cor 13:12) We have only a portion of what we will know of God in heaven. We should speak humbly about what we are so firmly convinced of.

This is not to say that we shouldn't vigorously defend our theological positions, but we should do it with respect for others. Remembering that we could be just as wrong as they are.
