There are things about Jesus that are really very theological and maybe beyond the average church sermon. The place of a theology class is appropriate these as with another major matter of theology - eternal life. If theology were used to teach about the applied theology of how the nature of Jesus as eternally alive from the dead and as able to make students of His worthy of eternal life then raise them at the resurrection leads to transformation into eternally living children of God it would allow complex matters about Jesus to be considered carefully more than in churches. This care in understanding such subjects is necessary for longlasting discipleship of Jesus, not just for academic training. The complex issue presents itself, for example, whether Jesus taught that He comes from the eternal past or not quite eternal past as Arius may have taught. Then the concept of eternal future or there being some kind of 'end' and How He will remain alive for it all to be able to ensure the lives are saved who always eternally trust in Him. This can be revealed in an instant but for manybitvtakes much thought and learning so love itself leads to a desire that theology education be a platform to help students of theology becomes or remain students of Jesus Christ.
