There are those who condemn teaching on such difficult topics as election on the basis that "we shouldn't pretend like we understand everything about God". Setting aside the fact that this is the biggest straw man since Ray Bolger, is that really the goal of theology? Of course we will never fully understand God, but are we not called upon to understand God to the extent that He has revealed Himself? Shouldn't the fact that certain teachings of Scripture are difficult cause us to grapple with them more diligently? And, does understanding God better somehow cause us to marvel at His immensity less?
Greg Koukl of Stand to Reason has an excellent post this morning. Well worth the read.
