Loading ...Supermodel Christology
flockwoodForget about Chicken Soup. Today, Bible Belt Blogger offers up Supermodel Theology for the Soul.
Kathy Ireland, the former Sports Illustrated cover girl, entrepreneur and author, is promoting her new book, Real Solutions for Busy Moms. She’s also teaching an online Sunday School course. I asked her whether she thinks all roads lead to God.
Her reply: “My faith tells me that we are serving the one true living God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. In the words of Jesus, he said, ‘I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life. No one comes to the Father but through me.’ He didn’t say ‘I am one of many ways.’ He didn’t say “I am a path.’ He was very direct. In reading the New Testament, we’ve got to read the Old Testament, the Torah, the entire Old Testament and it is a beautiful foreshadowing of Jesus Christ. And he is my Lord, my Savior, my best friend and my King.”

Sounds to me like she needs to take her theology back to the shop to be tuned up a bit; no doubt her beliefs make her the darling of the mega-church crowd, but I doubt they’d be accepted very well by more mainstream Christians. Certainly her first grade view of church history and development wouldn’t go over well in any crowd that had actually studied theology.

Theologians will look for proof to support their own agendas. At least Kathy knows what she believes and doesn’t believe in everything, just to be politically correct for the sake of the “mainstream Christian”. The Bible says “Test everything. Hold on to the good.” (I Thess 5) God said that because He knew His truths could stand up to any scrutiny. I encourage you to test His word and discover through your own personal experiences what is worth believing in, and not leave it to theology.
