Natural Theology

Let's do one more and wrap it up. https://tellonym.me/cheri.askq/illanswer

Background story was a bit rough. Didn't grow up in the same church. Quest for truth. I tried to look for serious churches that teach properly. Eventually, I found the Lutheran Church when I was in grade 7. Started theology back in mid 2020. During the pandemic, I had much time to read and study. I was in grade 9 then.

I always had the curiosity or passionate to study the Word. I ascribe that to God. But initiated when my Pastor offered to me to join the seminary and I accepted it. Been almost 6 years now and have done many private studies both in theology and philosophy, as well as other topics. I'm sort of a jack of all trades and I don't limit myself to a single topic.

Mostly controversial in Ethiopia and revivalist dominated areas. I listen to music. There's no such thing as secular, and/or if there is, it's not to be listened. Music is the greatest gift that God has given to us next to the Word and our Reason, probably. Be educated enough to value the content of music and choose what to listen. Do classical music and country ones, rather than some modern rap, explicit, lust driven songs. Those are just sinful, and it's obvious. Another time for the supporting arguments on this. I'll share my playlist of music someday soon.

Yes, absolutely. You can take your time and ask me more questions for clarifications. The role of women in theology and church is significant. Ignorance of the Word has led us to confusion and disorder in the family education and church life. Paul's Epistles have enough advices in them about Women and how a man of God should behave and he/she needs to equip himself/herself by the Word of God. Balance house chores with theology, vice versa. See Marry and Martha's story and what Jesus tells her it's more important to sit at his feet and learn the Word. So theology is more important, but house chores too, although not in the same degree.

Humility, gentleness, modesty and purity is all you need. Date for marriage, nothing else. And acquaint yourself with the Word of God. Try to date a traditional protestant men. Settle early. And if you have purity, expect that from the guy as well and pray for the best. I don't have much to say. and I'm thankful for the girlfriend that I have in that regard. God bless.

No, but I don't rock with modern thinker's metaphysics. But classical and christian one. Mostly Thomist, but not strict. Zabarella, Scotus, Suarez, etc could be mentioned...

Yes, repentance and meditation on the Word of God. This is what I can say. Read Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, and passages from the Bible that speak about the purpose of life and the resurrection that awaits us before heaven. Repentance= change of mind and way, not remorse only.
