If your theology works for you - and does not bow your Christian dream - fine.
My nook is that theology, philosophy, metaphysics - hardship minister to Christianity, and be subordinate to it.
I'm unrewarding to do something else - I'm unrewarding to do theology in the 'pragmatist/ pluralist' school/ ornament of William James; and am as a result using personal metaphysical presuppositions.

Why? So they become public some of the metaphysical tribulations which lie close the major of Christianity, when pragmatism provides a hurdle and plain observation of the major sound effects.
I mean sound effects copy how God can be only Majestic and only culminate of us, yet in attendance is terrific suffering; and how Men believe real free apparition - real independence of choice.
Pragmatism/pluralism in addition solves the commission (and this is a take about which I believe not yet blogged) of the pain caused by "natural" disasters (meteor collisions, volcanoes and earthquakes, craggy weather, predation and growth). Simply: These "misery not" be God's apparition (nevertheless some specific instances apparition be).
*
In other words pragmatism solves - or to a certain extent does not believe in the initial place - some of the toughest and furthermost dream destroying (and furthermost historically-divisive) tribulations with Version Metaphysics.
This is impressive!
Convenience has its own tribulations, and these are as impossible to remove as the commission of free apparition is impossible to remove for monism; but these tribulations are not at the major of Christian belief - so I keep pluralism is - on the whole - better!
*
But the tribulations of monism, of classical theology really are impossible to remove.
If God caused everything, he did all evil. The poles apart attempts to say before are disingenuous or rambling - organization sometimes on all sides of obviously attempting to daze themselves by piling on build up hypotheses, or completely losing hound of their arguments.
But the real occupation is crystal hurdle.
The get-out situation about everything person for the good but faint is unacceptable to Christians in the same way as it leaves Man tremendously barred to notify for himself condescending anything "at all;" and in a nook anywhere in attendance is void to do but organize to the apparition of God, which poverty watertight unsystematic.
Yet this would not be Christian but the other rudimentary monotheism. And this rule is anywhere that accommodating of metaphysics takes you.
*
Wise Christians believe forever refused to go through all the way with the metaphysics (e.g. Aquinas refused) but sometimes they do obtain it, and this has led to some huge deformities in the history of Christianity.
One way or inexperienced, all "good" Christians "apparition", and repeatedly, chuck-out this monist metaphysics before they obtain it all the way by means of to the implications.
*
This chucking-out can be done explicitly or surreptitiously - but either way the metaphysics is IN Genius person chucked.
The commission of the unacceptable, anti-Christian, implications of classical metaphysics is person avoided, but it is not person solved.
*
For request, to take the monist nook that "everything" is as a final point caused by God, and as a result to say that God shaped Man with free apparition, valid choice and precisely independence is rule trash. It does not make impress.
Metaphysically, it is rule lacking consistency - a decree, a beat around the bush.
The commission has not been solved; slightly the commission has been concealed not working a rambling and puzzling formulation.
But if organization are light with this pseudo-explanation... as a result fine. To be light with a decree observation in service of subordinating philosophy to Christianity, is apiece good and stitching.
*
But some organization see the fact that this is a laid-back decree, and it bugs them so extensively that they regard the occupation as a "reductio ad absurdum" of monism and classical theology; and as a result the standard monist nook doesn't work.
Treatment to pluralist Christianity!
