Now then, for the explanation of my previous post, which I wrote late after arriving home from performing in my church's annual Christmas Dessert Theatre.

Theology is defined as "the study of God and of God's relation to the world." So a theologian is someone who claims knowledge in this area. I am not referring to formal theologians, such as occupy the ranks of our seminaries, disputing over all manner of issues, but rather to any man, laymen or otherwise who is well-versed in the knowledge of God, both through the Scriptures and through the mixing of these Scriptures with faith in holy obedience.

"Best" is used in the normal sense.

"Stories" also, although with special emphasis on allegorical and illustrative stories.

Does my meaning then become clearer?

Why do I say this? It was just a passing thought, on the power of stories, and their use and misuse in society. All stories (meaning invented ones) contain within them a specific worldview. The events in the story correspond to this worldview.

So I think only those with a deep experience of God, knowledge of his ways, and an understanding of his character should tell stories.

The End. I don't think anything is offensive in that.
