Is Theology Bible Based?

[Q_Bee]

It appears that most theology has little to do with sacred scripture. Can anyone tell me which theological premises are founded directly upon scripture?

Every single one of them! We look to Christ in all theology. If you are talking specifically about moral theology, we look for moral norms in the Bible and apply them to new situations. We can see St. Paul do this Himself (the Pauline privilege). The Ten Commandments are a good example of moral norms.

If you give specific instances, I will try to show you where the Biblical basis is!

if something is not bible-based, it isn’t theology. Scripture study is a specialization within theology.

If you notice the “encyclopedia” tab above, you could read the whole article on theology which explains the preceding statement.

For instance, the Immaculate Conception. Where do you find the specific reference in the NT?
