Note that even if (contrary to fact) 'philosophy' & 'theology' named non-overlapping activities, it would still be the case that the same person could do both of them.

There's a lot you can learn by teaching philosophy. So far, the main thing I've learned is that my students do not understand philosophy.

How does the president reconcile "I want to be good" with "I hate my enemies". Clearly whatever idea of God he has is inconsistent with Christian notions.

Reading Richard Swinburne's book "Revelation: from Metaphor to Analogy" can be very helpful for freeing minds from this kind of confusion. Even if you think God speaks through the Bible you don't have to wage an eternal, hopeless, desperate war against biblical scholarship!

When real scholars (like Dr. Haecker here) make provocative statements like this, they're always followed by unduly restrictive (or otherwise idiosyncratic) definitions to make them true. Pseudo-Dionysius is not Maimonides. Everything is itself and not another thing.

I can barely even make sense of A-theory, so I'm not at all convinced it's related to what we ordinarily mean by 'time'.
