I have learned is that God is bigger than my doubts, bigger than my questions, and most of all, God is bigger than the ideas I have about God. Theology and doctrine still matter to me, as what I think about God and who I believe God to be matters. It matters significantly because these beliefs inform how I interact with others and view myself. For example, I believe God is a God who stands with the marginalized, and therefore I am an antiracist. I believe that God loves me; therefore, I know I am deeply loved. These beliefs are not just things I choose to think about randomly, but ideas passed down throughout history - theological opinions extracted from an ancient text. The Bible has stood the test of time, fingers fumbling through the pages, eyes scouring over the words. The Bible has lasted. So, you may be asking yourself, is this article an argument for or against the Bible? Neither. This article is an argument for choosing humility.
