The Bible is not a textbook on systematic theology, though there is nothing wrong with theology, as long as it is personalistic. This means recognizing that the Bible is the expression of God as the divine Being, existent in three actual Persons, Who relate to individuals as persons. Ontology is the study of being. Epistemology is the study of knowledge. It is concerned almost exclusively with how and what men may know, not who man is and how he should be.
Man is a person, designed for fellowship with a Person.
It is revelation from Person to person, not simply mind to mind. Theology and Creaturehood Man's theological enterprise is circumscribed by his creaturehood. The Creator-creature distinction is the foundation of all theology. Because man is a person, he cannot escape his nature in his theological understanding or in anything else. This means, among other things, that he cannot duplicate God's mind.
