Does God Fit Into A Box? The Question Of Theology

Does God Fit into a Box?
The Question of Theology

Charles Schultz had some tremendous religious insights. One of his “Peanuts” cartoons pictures Lucy and Linus looking out the window at a steady downpour of rain. “Boy,” says Lucy, “look at all that rain. What if it flood the whole world?”

“It will never do that,” replies Linus. “In Genesis 9:1-29, God promised Noah that it would never happen again, and the sign of that promise is the rainbow.”

“You've taken a great load off my mind,” says Lucy with a relieved smile. Linus replies, “Sound theology has a way of doing that.”

Everyone has a theology — some concept of what God and man and the universe is all about. That theology may not be systematized or even clearly stated. But it is still there. The question is not whether you hold to a theology, but rather whether that theology is sound and Biblical.
