There seems to be a great abyss separating the biblical theologian and the Christian in the pew. While the theologian is able to climb the Everest of God’s truth and be transformed by the vision, he often communicates the vision in a language that is beyond us. Thus, we are left at the mercy of popular Christian literature that is often nothing more than quaint stories, pragmatism, and baptized psychology.
– Paul Washer
Ouch… noted…
I’m for sure going to be keeping that in mind.
However, is it not the responsibility of the Pastor to be teaching and preaching on such things of theology to the flock? At least enough so that, if they don’t know what “homoousia” is (for example) they will still know the underlying concept behind it and able to recognize heresies when they rear and ugly head.
