Let me guess, RR. "Good" theology means "your" theology. You're a bullshit artist like all the rest.
No... I've had to change my mind before, I'm sure I'm wrong on some things now, and I may have to eat some crow in the future.
The question always comes down to why? What is the reason or the basis for the claim?
A disagreement, doesn't mean that there is bad theology. I can respect someone who disagrees with me on a matter, if they have thought through and can support their position. If on the other hand, if you have poor hermeneutical practices, are reading into the text, or just ignoring information, then that I would consider bad theology. They should also be reasonably informed on the matter. Really none of these things do not apply only to theology.
As well, I believe in the Principle of Charity. That you should interpret the opposing person or idea, in the strongest and best possible light.
