The Oldest Cult of All - "Philosophy"
 
Dear Forum members of God's Only Forum:

I would like to post a friendly reminder concerning the oldest apostasy in the book:
Philosophy.

While this word sounds benign (as in "love of wisdom") it is far from it.

Allow us to quote scripture on this ancient heresy:
Quote:

16Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. 17Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him. 18Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection. 19And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is? 20For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean. 21(For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)
22Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. 23For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.

So basically you have the kernal of untruth coming from these superstitious Greek homos, which is clearly recognizable in modern heresy's such as the so-called "science" of the seculars.


Modern day superstitions which stem from this ancient heresy are "evolution" the idea that we all are fish inside, and "the Socratic method" which alledgely gives a right to question Revealed Divine Truth.

The Socratic Method is satanic, and homosexual (Greek) in nature.

Scripture does not condone this method and its offshoots.
Quote:

Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God; Romans 3:19

"O that you would be completely silent, And that it would become your wisdom! Job 13:5

He who despises his neighbor lacks sense, But a man of understanding keeps silent. Proverbs 11:12
As evidence of this fact, note that scientific jargon all stems from the Greek language; NOT Hebrew or Aramaic....

Wisdom = keeping silent. Superstition = blabbering on about hypothetical nonsense not found in Scripture.

Amen.

Homosexual is right, brother! I understand that Plato like to bugger young boys. Lends a whole new dimension to the term, "platonic friendship," wouldn't you say?

Show me a philosopher and I'll show you a tenured radical at a public college who uses hypothetical mind games to get young co-eds to "let go of their hangups" and do sexual things with him.

Thank you for that anointed preaching.

God tells us to beware of philosphy:

[Colossians 2:8 KJV] 8 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.

Well we should, since philosphy encourages independent, critical thought instead of complete trust in God:

[Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV] 5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

In my learned, True Christian™ opinion, philosophy is nothing but a system designed by satan to confuse, depress and befuddle. Folks get caught up in the philosophy habit and it moves them away from Righteousness. It puffs up their ego and makes them think they know something when in fact they don't. That's why 99% of all philosophers end up committing sodomy and killing themselves and going to hell.

Satan is good at making simple things complicated. All you need to do is trust in Christ and send in your Tithes. Anyone who lives like that does fine.

Amen!

The only rational mode of thought is Bible-based theology. If you can't ground your thoughts in the facts given to us by God himself, then how could you ever know whether you were wrong? This is why I'm glad I have people like the good Pastor Ezekiel to do the thinking for me.

Colossians 2
8

KJV .. context
Greek philosophers were just terrible. Everything they taught, especially the maniac Democritus, contradicts God's revelation in which knowledge and wisdom are perfected. I do not cherry pick verses that make me feel I'm walking in the air or whatever it is Episcopalians feel like and Zoroastrians so you will find in the context link—well, perhaps you're already aware of this but heathens also check the site and I am happy to post Scripture for them—that wisdom and knowledge are specifically mentioned.
1 9b all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
16a For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible

2 2b-3 the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
Obviously I do not intrude opinions and I don't need to. God spells it out here in words of one syllable so that even a child could understand it. Half baked secularists such as the Archbishop of Canterbury—or even Democritus but he was fully cooked of course—spout off garbage at so-much-per-word (and a couple of free palaces fro the Archbishop) such as there is a difference between the spiritual values of Christians (or Parsees) and the material values of science but whooooooooops!! did the Anglicans forget to tell God who does distinguish between the two AND INCLUDES BOTH? It's not some wisdom it's all wisdom which is differentiated from spiritual understanding sure, even in the same verse, and spiritual understanding is included.

God, in explaining about Creation, specifies all things not only heavenly things but earthly things too. Not only visible things but invisible things too. Not to enable a half baked watered cown assurance of fudgement but the full assurance of understanding and unlike Democritus with his infinite voids and granular motions through minimum dimensions God spells it out very clearly that in Him are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

And that is why philosophy relies on indoctrination: what rational adult knowing The Truth could ever accept mumbojumbo, whether concentrated (Democritus) or in its diluted form (Canterbury)? Whether a child has read up on quantum theory or not, any child knows what "all" means and that is the type of Knowledge described BY GOD in The Bible. When atheism re-emerged during the 17th century, for example with Spinoza, the Greek philosophies which had been shut down for over a millennium also re-emerged. And almost exactly from where they had left off.
The results of that castrophe are seen all around us.
Secular values.
Philosophies.
Vain deceits.
God knew that would happen.
God warned us.
Indeed it is so explicit that comment or opinion is altogether unnecessary but I am happy to post Scripture.

Even Ariana Huffington's liberal propaganda machine has been forced to admit what we already knew about philosophy teachers:

Disgusting!

Since atheist homers are waging a War on Christians, we are free to wage a War on Philosophy.

Philosophy is the "love of wisdom." But God tells us that we are to love Him above all else. To put wisdom before God is to be a fool in Truth.

I Corinthians 1:18-31
18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23 but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
24 but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29 that no flesh should glory in his presence.
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.


Choose not the love of wisdom. Stop vainly thinking for yourself, put your faith in Jesus, and choose the foolishness of God.
