Zone1 Leading theologian in ICU after heart attack

[Polishprince]

Rev. Jimmy Swaggart is in bad shape, and his family is asking for prayers.

Swaggart is probably the world's greatest living theologian at this point in time. Certainly has been doing the Lord's work for longer than almost anyone.

WTH is a "theologian?"

WTH is a "theologian?"

Theologians are experts in the theory and practice of theology. "Theo" means Almighty God, "ology" means study of.

Theology is considered to be the most important of the sciences.

 

[Dekster]

WTH is a "theologian?"

One who studies or teaches theology i.e. religion

Rev. Swaggart is significantly older than Leo, so I don't know about that.

Swaggart confessed his sin on TV, and that's the key there.

Today's Christians are not big on forgiveness and repentance. It is a weird revert back the Norse Pagan belief systems that held honor in high esteem. Americans have residual belief patterns that predate the Christian takeover of Europe. Forgiveness is a very Christian thing to do. Holding a grudge against a man for his mistakes comes from the Norse Pagan side of our anthropological development.

Most people professing to be Christians today cannot or will not forgive anybody especially celebrities or well-known persons. It is sad. Forgiveness is one of the greatest traditions in the Christian faith.

OP, Jimmy Swaggart isn't known to be a theologian. He's a known preacher. Prosperity Gospel preacher at that.

Where'd you get that from?

I found a comment online that says Jimmy Swaggert holds a degree in theology from a reputable seminary, but I couldn't find the name of that reputable seminary. The OP could be wrong. Jimmy Swaggert may not be a theologian. Although Theology means the study of God. I guess theologian could be loosely applied to any student of the Bible whether it be formal or informal. Google has no record of Jimmy Swaggert ever attending seminary. It doesn't mean he didn't. That just seems like the kind of information that google would know.

Theologians are experts in the theory and practice of theology.

So is there any consensus among these "experts?"
