Theology, if it is correct theology, will always be about God according to his written Word. Philosophy may have references to what the Bible says but then it will diverge and bring into it the ideas of men and suppositions that are either not supported by the Bible or are in contradiction to the whole counsel of God's Word.
You can find quite a few useful theological resources on the Free Stuff page @ http://web.express56.com/~bromar/

Theology refers to how your thoughts and actions are influenced by an external source, what a theist would call a god. Philosophy is referring to the influence of your personal choices and beliefs upon your thoughts and actions. Theology can be a part of philosophy, but philosophy can only be a response to theology.
Christian theology is limited in it's sourcing to the Bible as revealed by the Holy Spirit, and should be the primary source for all Christian philosophy.

I would say from an academic perspective, theology is an expression of philosophical principles, and so it's not clear how one can make a clean cut between the two.
The same problem surfaces in trying to divide philosophy from science. The discussion of whether something is indeed "scientific" is not itself a scientific question, but a philosophical one.

Christians must only go by theology and not philosophy. Philosophy are men's thought and ideas about the universe and creation excluding the hand of God from everything.

your sort of mixing your metaphores. Discernment is a gift. Theology and philosophy are studies. One is from god and the other is from hard work. You can deny your gifts and ignore your gifts. Theology and philosophy might be better framed by men than god.

You need to become familiar with the authentic and constant teachings of the only Church that Jesus himself ever founded ... the Catholic Church.

You just need to read the Word of God and obey it.
