After
many notes that I have shared with you, now I will go into an even
deeper, longer and more delicate topic such as "Theology". You will need a small amount of patience, and continue reading.
I remember when I studied my first school years that's where I learned that ...
1 + 1 = 2
1-1 = 0
1x1 = 1
1/1 = 1
Although
the multiplication tables were not difficult for me, at first I did not
understand the results because although I had good teachers, they were
not excellent at the time of the explanation.
I
do not forget that in high school I had to memorize the rules and
formulas of mathematics to be able to perform arithmetic, algebraic, and
geometric operations without forgetting calculations using the order of
operations.Here, I had a teacher of eminence in Mathematics, my great illustrious and appreciable professor "Mr.Nico ", despite his advanced age, had the patience to explain one by one the steps i needed to follow and I understood them much faster.
The order of operations are rules that determine which mathematical operation is carried out first.
First, operations in parentheses or other symbols.If there are symbols grouped within others, first make the operation that is deeper inside.
Second, multiplication operations from left to right.
Third, addition and subtraction operations from left to right.
Respecting the signs.
Example: 2 + 3 * (4+ (6 * 3-8)) * 2
2 + 3 * (4+ (18-8)) * 2
2 + 3 * (4 + 10) * 2
2 + 3 * 14 * 2
2 + 42 * 2
2 + 84
86
I
still have what I studied in Natural Sciences with the teacher of
surnames "MB" (which we respect, but we bullied him by his surnames, but
he was a good fellow and a very good person, more than a teacher), with
him I learned that the cell was the first thing and there are different classes of cells
and the set of them are of the same kind which form the tissue, then the grouping
of equal tissues create the organ, then the grouping of different organs
form a whole system and the grouping of different systems is the
formation of a body and that everything works in harmony.
In
Biology and Physiology (thanks to Professors Chang and Smith
respectively), thanks to the professors and to those subjects, I learned
the names of each of the organelles of the cell, their functions, their
differences as "osmosis" and the jobs they perform in each one of them.So
all the elements they need to be able to function correctly in order to form organisms; understanding that not all cell clusters form a tissue, just as each
one has a different life span.I
also understood "the balance", "the balance" and "the negative
feedback" neutralize the action of each cell, hormone, tissue, organ and
system inside and outside the body.
In
Chemistry (thankful to all my professors, because they were several) I
learned that the atom is the smallest particle of the elements and the
reunion of atoms form the molecules;but
I discovered that the nucleus of the atom has 2 forms of energy:
protons, they have positive charge, neutrons, have no charge,and 1 external, which are the electrons-have a negative charge-;Depending
on the power, some combinations of elements can be stronger, dangerous,
harmful, weak or favorable than others and the work they do to sustain
the earth and all of us who live on it.
In
Physics (the annoyances of Professor Torricelli, who claimed to be a
direct relative of the famous physicist Torricelli) I had to learn the
laws of: Newton, Coulomb, Pauli, Lorentz, atmospheric, weight, movement
and their formulas to understand how the whole universe works.
Since
the laws of "Physics" are empirical (they are not mathematical or
scientific facts) we still accept them as "laws" although they do not
have a "fact".
But
in Theology I was surprised to learn from the outset that religious
organizations determine the form of how the individual should think,
interpret and study the Sacred Scriptures and should NOT precisely be
the Holy Spirit, nor The Son, nor the Supreme Creator who dictate, guide
or teach interpretation.I
also learned that The Rules are predetermined by man and can change
according to the whim of the leader or theological teacher.
For
professional ethics, I will not mention the names of the institutions
where I attended, first as a tentative student and then as an exhibitor.
The
most surprising thing about this is that along the way I discovered the
immense repertoire of existing Bibles (one for each human need and age)
and I do not speak of languages, but most since the 40's have changed
the essence by : tradition, translation, ease of reading, omission and
human foolishness (more than understanding);being
the majority - at first sight good - vehicles that separate us from the
free, impermissible, difficult and narrow way, to put us in the way
enslaved, permissible, easy and wide as the famous, successful and wise
proverb (Proverbs 14:12).
Using as an example:
◄ Hosea 4: 6 ►
(King James Version 1909)
My people (people, nation, chosen people, country and children) were (past tense) cut down (cut-not fruited-, destroyed -withoutreconstruct-,
desolate -disappeared-, devastated -inhabitable-), because he lacked
(without, without reaching, incomplete - in the past tense) wisdom
(understanding, understanding, fear of the Eternal).Because
you (direct address) discarded (dumped, despised, eliminated, worthless
and unimportant) wisdom (fear of the Eternal), I (direct address) will
cast (remove, remove, omit, remove, separate and abandon) the priesthood
(power, head, example, position, eminence, leadership): and because you
forgot (without memory, without memory - past time) the law (precept,
statute, decree, concept and order) of your God, I too will forget (
without memory, without memory - future time) of your children (seed,
descendant, procreation).
We
might think that here it would seem that the prophet or someone with
great power (not the Eternal) speaks to a priest or person in
particular, blaming him for the destruction and lack of wisdom of a
whole country;and that on the children of the priest it will be the punishment for disobedience;but...
(Holy Scriptures 1569)
My people were cut down because they lacked wisdom.Because you have rejected wisdom, I will cast you out of the priesthood;and since you forgot the law of your God, I will also forget your children.
(The Bible of the Americas)
My village is destroyed because of lack of knowledge.Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you so that you are not my priest;As you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.
(The New Bible of the Hispanics)
My village is destroyed because of lack of knowledge.Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you so that you are not My priest.As you have forgotten the law of your God, I too will forget your children.
(Reina Valera Gómez)
My town was destroyed because it lacked knowledge.Because you have discarded knowledge, I will cast you out of the priesthood;and because you forgot the law of your God, I too will forget your children.
(Jubilee Bible 2000)
My people were cut down because they lacked wisdom.Because you have rejected wisdom, I will cast you out of the priesthood;and since you forgot the law of your God, I will also forget your children.
(King James Bible)
My
people are destroyed (present perfect) for lack of knowledge: because
thou hast rejected (present perfect) knowledge, I will also reject
(future) thee, that thou shalt be (present and future) no priest to me:
seeing thou hast forgotten (present perfect) the law of thy God, I will
also forget (future) thy children.
(English Revised Version)
My
people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected
knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be not priest to me:
seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy
children.
Many, although not all, professand
they even boast of being theologians and that they studied in the most
prestigious centers, schools, and universities (because of everything
there is, even invented), and with the best and famous theologians, and
the ego that they have can not enter through the doors of the Catholic
churches (these being the churches that have the widest and highest
doors), nor by the door of the temple of Jerusalem;but nevertheless they continue to instruct the flock in empty, pagan and / or false teachings and teachings;without commenting, or going into details of the high prices they charge to be these guests to preach or teach;beyond the demands that they haveto serve his god "Mammon." (Luke 16:13)
There
are also "popular theologians" who have the good or bad concept of God
and defend their positions according to their own opinions.
◄ Philippians 1: 15-17 ►
The Eternal, whom I serve, is served simply and humbly because he will provide everything;since it does not leave the righteous destitute, nor beg bread.(Psalm 37:25)
We will start with the definitions.
Theology / Theology:
* It is the science that deals with Theus and the knowledge that the human has about HIM.
* The study of the nature of Theus and religious beliefs.(Ing)
* Faculty ..., right ... to read the Holy Scriptures as a lecturer or teacher.(Ita)
* It is the study of The Word of Theus.
*
His Etymology: comes from the Greek language formed by 2 words "Theus" =
"Zeus" and "logos" = "words, treaty, study and reason", therefore it
would be translated: - Study of Zeus - Words of Zeus - Treaty of Zeus -
Reason of Zeus.
But
the characteristic is that if we start with the etymology we would find
the first incongruity, since "Theus" is the name of the greatest Greek
pagan deity "Zeus", as well as "Allah" is for Muslims, Islam and Arabs;"God" for the English and all English speakers;"God" for the Spanish-speaking countries;in the same way "Budah" is for Buddhists, also many Asian religions and ideologies;etc ... being these deities opposed to the CREATOR.So instead of being Theology / Theulogy / Zeulogy, could it be called Allahlogy or Buddhalogy, Godology, Godology?Because
the name of the greatest deity of these cultures is used, but I think
that all these would be incongruent for many "Christians";although the first one is also wrong.
The first four definitions are explained in the following comment.The majority of priests and catholic priests are theologians (since the creator of "theology" is the catholic church);some Protestant preachers and speakers are theologians;others get a doctorate in religion, who are also theologians.But
there comes the discrepancy that being all of them "theologians"
continue defending their own ideologies, beliefs, dogmas and
denominations rather than explaining what they actually studied.
Although
theology (according to the theologians) is divided into 2 categories:
"Ethical" and "Religious (the latter is called" Christian "to not show
that the teachings come directly from the Vatican).
Religious Theology is further subdivided into 5 other categories:
*1 Biblical or Exegetical (exegesis and hermeneutic) belief attached to the Scriptures.
*2 Historical (ecclesiology)
*3
Systematic or Dogmatic (Christology, eschatology, soteriology and
pneumatology) belief attached to what the student believes or the leader
(s) teach (s) that is correct, based on ability, time and age.
*4 Practice or Ministerial (Homiletic)
*5 Philosophical relationship of creation
And each of theseit has its own subdivisions (it continues to be subdivided).
Other subdivisions of the Divisions of Theology are:
* Christology = Christ in the center
* Eschatology = After life
* Apologetics = Justifying the faith
* Soteriology = Believe in salvation
* Pnuematología = Espíriu
* Ecclesiology = Church and aspects
"The Holy Scriptures" teach us wonders without putting dogmas of men.(Matthew 15: 3-9, Mark 7: 6-9, Isaiah 29: 9-14).
Now we will see the tools of Theology:
Hermeneutics:
* Technique or method of interpretation of texts.
* A branch of knowledge that deals with the interpretation of the Bible or literary texts.(Ing)
*
Contemporary thought of the granting of the same philosophical text
that identifies it and continues with the interpretation of the
religious text.(Ita)
* His Etymology: comes from the Greek "hermēneutikē or hermēneutikós" = "art of interpretation".
Exegesis:
* The interpretation or explanation of something, usually the work of an author or a text in particular.
* Interpretation or critical explanation of a text, especially biblical.
*
His Etymology: from the Greek word "exēgēsis -> exēgeisthai" =
"interpret" derivation of the words "ex-" = "out of" and "hēgesthai" =
"lead, lead, lead".
Homiletics:
* Preparation of the sermon.
* Study commissioned to review the sermon before exposing it.
* The art of preaching or writing sermons (Ing.)
* Literary genre of the sermon (Ita.)
* His Etymology: from the Greek "homilētikós" which is divided into "homilēo" = "conversation"
Apologetics:
* Area of theology that aims to defend rationally and historically the dogmas of the belief or Christian faith.
* Expression or natural demonstration to defend or justify something related to a religious theory or doctrine.(Ing.)
* The defense or justification of faith, especially religious.(Ita.)
* His Etymology: from the Greek "Apologētikos" = "self defense"
Eschatology:
This word has 3 definitions very opposed to each other and that is why it is to take care of what we refer to.
Meaning 1º
* Study of the ultimate destiny of the human being and the universe.
* The part of Theology that studies the death, the judgment, and the final destiny of the souls and the human.
* Doctrine proposed in religious and philosophical scope of the end of the human and the universe.
*
His Etymology 1: of the Greek language divided into the words
"èskhatos" = "last" and "logos" = "words, treatise, study or reason"
understood as "treaty of the last" or "last treatise" reference to
Revelation (although it is not the only book that talks about the end of
the world).
2nd Meaning
* Set of beliefs and doctrines concerning the afterlife.
* Quality of what is eschatological (bulgar, rude or coarse).
*
His Etymology 2: of the Greek language divided into the words "skatós" =
"rude - beyond" and "logos" = "words, treatise, study or reason"
understood as "treat of the rude" or "treaty of the most there or beyond
the grave "
Meaning 3rd
* Use of voices and topics related to excrement and things related to them.
*
His Etymology 3: Word composed of the Greek language, "skor, skat" =
"excrement" and "logos" = "words, treatise, study or reason" translation
"knowledge of excrement"
After understanding the meanings of Theology and some of its tools.I would like to know, if someone could answer without error to make the next question ...
Have
you seen a Catholic theologian preach in a Baptist church, or an
Adventist theologian preach in a Pentecostal church or some Mormon
theologian or Jehovah's Witness preach in other churches or vice versa?
True, NO!Unless
the theologian "repents" and changes his religion (at the obligatory
request of the theologians of the other denomination).
I DO NOT SUPPORT ECUMENISM, but ...
If
they were truly theologians, as they want and / or force the
translation and / or understanding of the word "theology" then they
shouldpreach the truth of "The Holy Scriptures" by sticking to them.On the contrary, they defend their position and denomination, more than the Pure Doctrine;therefore they come to criticize and offend others who do not believe or profess like them from the pulpits.
Theologians continue to open the gap between the denominations more without finding the "true message" that is:
*"Love / Agape" to the Eternal, the Son and the neighbor,
* "The Communion / Koinonia" with the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and the neighbor.
In spite of everything, the theologians say that after having thoroughly studied The Scriptures have already reached ...
THE GOALS OF THEOLOGY
* Orthodoxy is subdivided into:
*
1) The meeting of Churches with beliefs and bases of Chalcedon (5th
century) and that were separated from Catholicism in the eleventh
century
*
2) Conformity with the principles of a doctrine or with traditional
norms or practices, accepted by the majority as the most appropriate in a
certain field.
* But theologians call it "the correct doctrinal knowledge".
*
Orthopraxis "the right action both practical and ethical to live" (live
the message before preaching it - live what is preached)
* Live a life like Jesus with an ending of martyr and pain forachieve
salvation (follow examples such as: Fra Bartolomé de las Casas, mother
of Calcutta, Francisco de Asis, Joan of Arc, etc).
But these live with luxuries, in mansions and surrounded by poor people;Where is the example of orthopraxis?
* Orthopathy "emphasize biblical feelings and emotions"
* Orthos = right, pathos = pain, sufferinge -ia = quality;all together = the quality of the right to suffer / the right to the quality of suffering.
The
order of the Father, of the Son and remembered by the Holy Spirit in
each moment is that we should please and please the deity and divinity
rather than the human being;the
purity of the gospel that is The Son and is the one who taught us the
way of how we should be bearers of the gospel and the truth in: words,
actions, actions, witness and fruits since everything must be in
harmony.
I
hope you now understand why the true Jewish religious teachers are
scholars in "The Word of Ha'Shem (TaNaK / Old Testament and Brith
Hadassha / Renewed Covenant / New Testament)";although
there are orthodox, conservative, reformist, etc. scholars who do not
believe in the "Brith Hadassha" for being: written in Greek, it speaks
of a prophet Jesus who claimed to be the Messiah and son of God.There is some friction for all this and because we believe in Mashiach / Messiah.Still,
none of the scholars believe we are "theologians" because we would be
changing the name of the Eternal - which we respect with all our heart,
soul and spirit (Deuteronomy 6: 1-9) - for one that is not (in this
case, Zeus) / Theus).That's why in our Hebrew writingthey
will find "G_d" and not "God" although most of them will find "Ha'Shem"
= "His Name", also "Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent, Lord, Eternal,
Creator, Omniscient, Father, Everlasting, Maker, Avva ( Papito and not
Abba) and Causaser ".
Let's examine what the Father commands us to do.
Numbers
6: 1-8 the law of the Nazareth for people - regardless of the tribe
they belonged to - who will dedicate themselves to obey, understand,
know, learn The Law of the Everlasting under the Hebrew writings, being
directed and taught by the Eternal or by some head Priest (only those
who ministered in the temple).
From
the Hebrew "נזר נזיר" = nazyir nazir = "consecrated, separated" as
"קדשׁ" = kodesh = "Holy", "קדשׁ קדושׁ" = kadosh kadosh = "Section",
"קדשׁ" = Kadash = "Clean".
Let's see now:
* The blessing and prophecy about Joseph (Genesis 49: 22-26).
* The vow of Paul (Acts 18:18).
* The 4 in Paul's vow and purification (Acts 21: 22-26).
The
apostle Paul could not be a priest because he belonged to the tribe of
Benjamin, therefore he was a Pharisee like his father (Acts 23: 6) and
as we already read, he vowed to be a Nazirite.
Clarifying:
Pharisee = believed in The Resurrection
Saduceo = """ The reencarnation
Herodian = Defender of Herod
Essene = Predecessor of Jesus?
NONE OF THESE GROUPS WERE MENTIONED AS NAZARESand all these went out during the five hundred years that the Almighty did not speak to his people.
Pharisee
(from the Aramaic p'risha = separate) No prophet mentions them and they
begin to be mentioned in the apocryphal books (1st Maccabees 1: 62-64)
before Christ;however, the four gospels mention them as the most influential and religious group of that time.
Saduceo
(Greek "Sadduokkaioi", from the Latin "Sadducaei") some believe that
they were from a religious group and that its founder was Sadoc a rabbi
who lived in 300 BC and others believe that they are from the priest
Sadoc (2 Samuel 8:17 ) but the two hypotheses are false, since they
believed in Reincarnation (it is a Canaanite belief and it goes back
from Ashtaroth / Asherah) not in the Resurrection, the latter is a state
very well founded by the Holy Scriptures.
Herodian politico-religious group that obeyed Herod and his laws, but wanted to keep the religion intact.But
they were always going to defend the political over the religious, but
they joined the Pharisees and Sadducees to kill Jesus.
Essene religious group mentioned by Titus Flavius Josephus;he mentions them as a separate religious group;not
by the exterior but by the interior, their ways are based on the fact
that other beliefs sought to please the flesh and they pleased the
interior and followed the teachings of Jesus, the apostles and others
similar to the previous ones.
Now let's see what The Savior said regarding the teachings of the Pharisees and Sadducees Matthew 23: 1-7;also
the apostle Paul spoke about the theology and teaching of the Pharisees
(do not get confused with all the teachings of the Eternal that appear
in the Old Testament) Philippians 3: 4-6;Acts 22: 4 and Philippians 3: 8-12.
The
Pharisees of that time, like the rabbis and orthodox priests,
conservatives and current reformers, not only use "The TaNaK" but they
argue with each other, they also rely on books without divine
inspiration;among
these I will mention "The Kabbalah", "The Talmud", "The Midrash", etc
... that's why The Messiah said "on the chair of Moses sat the scribes
and Pharisees" (being only the lineage priests those who could sit in
Moses' place).
Are we going to say "we are under thegrace and we will not obey the law "?
Matthew 5:17;1st John 3: 4;James 2: 9;1 Timothy 1: 9;Romans 7: 7, 25;8: 2.
