What is the difference between belief and theology?

Answer 1

Answer

Theology is like knowing you should drive 55 because the speed limit sign says 55 but you don't do it, belief is actually driving 55.
Theology is knowing facts. Belief is living them.
Theology is knowing many facts about God.
Belief in God means to have a relationship with Him.
A person may know many things about a favorite celebrity, but they are not actually known by the celebrity themselves. This is theology.
Belief is when the celebrity knows you and acknowledges you as friends, you have a relationship.

We can think of belief as something you do and theology being that in which you believe.

Theology can not be "Knowing Facts" because there is no "knowing" there is only believing. Even the history of science and the subject Philosophy of Science" will demonstrate that they only believe in the scientific notions because they will change them just as theologies do.

The conclusions of logic does not prove something about the universe, only that you have followed the rules of logic. Language is a major problem in theologies. You can not say "God is Prefect and then say "God wants some thing". The translations from Aramaic to Greek and then to Latin and then to the languages of the world of The Bible can leave you only with belief not knowledge.

Answer 2

Theology (from the Greek θεολογία, or theologia) is the critical study of the nature of the divine. As a study, it can apply to any religion but in practice the term is usually applied to the Christian religion. Theology requires faith, which is defined as belief without proof.
