This is the 75th installment in “Scripture… As We Live It“:
Above all, keep loving one another checking one another’s theology earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins right theology will keep you pure. (1 Peter 4:8 re-mix)
(Please read the first post for an explanation of this series.)

Yes…right theology is the answer to all of my problems…and it helps me to point out yours as well.
Alan, I am curious. Do you make a distinction between theology and doctrine? If yes, what?
Joe (JR),
I guess I would make a distinction between “doctrine” and “theology” depending on how they were used. In general, I was say that “doctrine” is a specific teaching, while “theology” is a way to understand God. Of course, this could get more specific, and the two terms can be used to refer to the same thing. In this post, I think you could replace “theology” with “doctrine”.
