Why do you need to study theology?
Theology is the study of the existence of a supernatural power that is GOD.
It is not necessary to study theology but it is good to do so as the fear of GOD keeps us in self control. The fear of GOD keeps us in our limits, to follow moral values, dicepline etc. and atlast you will become a well reputed person.
If you think that there is no GOD then you wont fear because there is no one to punish and you know the whole world becomes a graveyard within minutes.
So it is good to study theology to be good to do good and become good.
MAY THE GREAT GOD BLESS YOU
Another ViewThe word "theology" comes from two Greek words: theos which means God, and logos which means word. Thus, in the simplest sense, "theology" is the study of God's word.God has given us His word (the Bible) to know Him better. In it He has provided instruction, not to condemn us, but to protect us in this broken world. So, in the simplest sense, we need to study theology so we can do life right and be safe.
The study of God's word also leads us to the Word made flesh (John 1:10), which was Jesus. Only in relationship with Him can theology bear any fruit worth talking about.
