you think He thinks

I am so excited to spend a semester in the class. During our first two hours together, I already heard many things expressed in ways I'd never been previously exposed to. One thing that particularly struck me was Sarah's explanation of orthodoxy and orthopraxy. I've been exposed to them countless times before. Orthodoxy = right thinking, orthopraxy = right practice. But I have never heard it so simply and concisely explained. Sarah said, "So, figuring out what you think God thinks about humanity is very important."

There are some issues where I know what I think God thinks, but the role of women isn't one of them. Of course, I have an opinion. Who doesn't? But until I know why I think I know what God thinks about the role of women, I'm not willing to own that opinion. Hence, my excitement for this semester. I hope that through the course of this class I can develop my personal theology of women and the bible - to figure out what I think God thinks.
