59. Through Theology in a Year with C. Michael Patton: Embracing Unity in Diversity


Listen Later

Is bad theology a sin? In this episode, we explore this controversial question and how it shapes many unhealthy paradigms within the church. We dive into the tension between differing theological perspectives and ask whether it's always wrong to hold incorrect beliefs. From there, we discuss the beauty of unity and diversity within the body of Christ, recognizing that God created us to be united by central truths while also embracing our differences. These differences help us grow and push us to continually refine our understanding of theology, which is always a work in progress. We wrap up with a reflection on 1 Corinthians 13:12 and how we "see through a mirror dimly," underscoring that this journey of understanding will continue even in eternity.
Let’s continue the conversation in the comments. How do you see the balance between unity and diversity in theology? Is there room for differing views, or do you believe we need strict adherence to certain doctrines?
