Do you think that there is a need for various Christian Theologies?

Question

There are various theologies that try to discern Gods activity within the human experience, time, and place. There's liberation theology, black theology etc. Considering the given fact that truth transcends culture, how does one in your own opinion deal with culture and truth when the fact is culture exists and centuries of standard processed theology which happens to be western thought during a DIFFERENT TIME PERIOD has not effectively reached other oppressed communities OF TODAY. Would there be a use ( if in agreement) for an appropriate theology that could effectively reach oppressed communities, which would not only bring salvation but freedom in identity, social, economic living from oppressors/oppression.

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

Theology is man's attempt to understand "mystical" documents written by other men on behalf of God. Western theology places a greater value on the individual vs the group, so violence against an individual is less likely vs, middle eastern societies which emphasis the religious group as a whole.

In reality, the least violent amongst humans tend to be highly educated people who don't even believe in a deity. So if increasing identity, economic living social progress, and doing away with oppression is our goal, we should focus on facts and avoid the whole notion of salvation altogether.

Answer 3

The reason there are so many is because large groups of people cannot agree on anything, especially beliefs. There would be no way to set up just one standard for religion, short of a miracle that's undeniable and visible to everyone on the planet. In the mean-time, I'm all for people believing whatever they want to believe, as long as they don't try to force it upon me.

Answer 4

the theologies of christianity are:
falsehoods, lies and deceptions, accompanied by false promises that will never come true.

Here's the Solution to christian theologies and HOW to eliminate christianity and religion from YourLife:

Create a Private, Personal, Direct, Divine Relationship with Our Creator and save your Soul from religion's and atheist's beliefs.

Love and Believe in Our Creator;
Love and Believe in Yourself.

Only with Our Creator's Love and Peace will we be Truly Free!

Without God, there is No Love; Without religion, there are No Wars!

"religion is Spiritual fraud"; "religion is the Worse invention of humanity" - Jesus Christ, Buddha and any one else with Spiritual intelligence.

atheists = all the people in religion = all the ignorant fundamentalists = all the cults/superstitions = paganism

Answer 5

So long as it does not contradict the Biblical scriptures, then various theologies is beneficial. In the epistle to the Hebrews it says the Word of God is living and active, its meaning adapts as we adapt, but it does not contradict itself. For instance thievery is not at one time immoral and then becomes moral.

Answer 6

By it's very nature, theology is speculative. That fact implies diversity of thought.
When one moves from speculation to certainty, theology becomes doctrine or dogma.

Answer 7

I suppose it would depend on the object of need. God doesn't need anything. So that's out. And those that 'need' multiple Christian Thologies are perhaps needing things that are not actually a part of Christianity. But then, traditions are difficult to break!

Answer 8

No need. It just seems to me that the different ones just emphasize different things. It confuses, if you ask me.

Answer 9

no, there's aboslutely no need because it will simply lead to more problems.

Answer 10

yes,i think so.
