Old Erich Proverb - Philosophy

Philosophy is a long discussion with no definite conclusion; we need help from a source beyond ourselves.

    Do you see it differently than theology?

      The real question in my mind is whether God has revealed Himself to us. If He has that gives us a source of knowledge beyond ourselves. If this is true, and our theology is based on that then it has a inside knowledge that philosophy does not have. But if our theology is based simply on our reasoning it leaves us in the same place as philosophy.

      I so agree Mike! It is why, IMO, we must filter all of scripture through the life, teachings and ministry of the One who plainly revealed God to us.
