God's Response to PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy can be broken into at least four main divisions:

  • Value theory (what's right or wrong, what's the best political system, what does it mean to be a good person).
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Fear God, and keep his commandments:
for this is the whole duty of man.
Ecclesiastes 12:13
  • Knowledge theory (also known as epistemology - pronounced ee-pist-ehm-ah-oh-gee), it is the study of what we can know, what it means to say something is true, and whether we can have certainty.
 God is not a man,
that he should lie;
Numbers 23:19
  • Reality theory (also known as metaphysics - what sort of stuff is the world made up of, what does it mean to say something is 'real', how do objects exist through time and space).
Through faith we understand that the worlds
were framed by the word of God,
so that things which are seen
were not made of things which do appear.
Hebrews 11:3

  • Critical thinking (how can we evaluate arguments, under what circumstances if we have two true sentences can we say a third is true, how do we categorize things).
Beware lest any man spoil you
through philosophy and vain deceit,
after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world,
and not after Christ.
Colossians 2:8
 
Problem with PHILOSOPHY-----
........always learning
but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.
2 Timothy 3:7
