If it were possible for there to be a Systematic Theology that the Church could derive from Scripture and come into agreement with, then yes, that would be a good thing. The problem I see, though, is that whatever that Systematic Theology was...it would interfere with what most want to believe is true.

We have the truth of the Word of God as our guide, yet refusal to embrace a concept of error on our part demands a separation between differing groups of Christians. I think it very reasonable for many to want an ordered system of belief in regards to Scripture, and that this is why men adopt Systems that are available. I think this is why many are attracted to the Catholic Church, because we would think that if anything is going to be orderly in this world...it would be Christianity, right? Particularly when we are commanded to be orderly, lol, and in agreement.

But it's no different, I feel, than how most of us choose which fellowship we are going to attend: we look around until we find a group that...agrees with us.

God bless.

And the one word that presents itself first when we look at "how God has dealt with man from Adam forward to Jesus" is grace.

It was grace that did not demand eternal separation for men like Abraham and David who died offering up only the deaths of others, their own deaths not exacted because Christ had not yet atoned for their sins on an eternal basis. It was grace that gives all men revelation of God that they might come into obedience to His Will.

But what I see often is a merging and blending of Old and New Testament concepts to the point where the distinctions that exist are lost, and the resulting Theology fails to place the differing provisions given to differing economies in a proper context.

God bless.

Think that in the New Covenant theology and progressive Dispy, see in that blending on theology happening to some extent!
