The problem of idolatry is pertinent, but we can also simply
distinguish between good & bad theology. Cf. Luther:
"That person does not deserve to be called a theologian who
looks upon the invisible things of God as though they were
clearly perceptible in the things which have actually happened.
He deserves to be called a theologian, however, who comprehends
the visible and manifest things of God seen through suffering
and the cross."
