It’s easy to speculate. All that’s needed is a single assumption. So many theologies are based on the Bible plus assumption. The Bible plus assumption is the same as assumption. Assumption is the same as made-up stuff. If God didn’t say it, you don’t know it. Period.

Don’t add to His Words.

What areas of theology cause divisions by speculating? While not all theologies are speculative, many are. Many of these speculations go against the clear teaching of Scripture. Some just go beyond what God is revealing through Scripture.
