How to Use Your Mind and God in Your Theology?

You can't really set up a logical system that is in any sense independent of scripture. You're in danger there if you do. Because god expects us to use our minds. Paul wrote his letters, as peter said some things difficult to understand. He didn't condescend and speak in a patronizing manner. As jesus says, we are to love the lord our god with all our heart, with all our strength and with all our mind. And to deny that is to deny, ultimately, is to deny the gospel.
