That is because you r defining it incorrectly. If you are engaging in the study of God's word learning more about who He is, what He has for us and how he wants us to live you ARE engaging in philosophy, by true and literal definition.

so you are saying there is no value in studying the bible to understand reality as God defines it and for that matter the reality of God Himself or even the new life reality he wants us to live? I am absolutely certain neither of us knows all the answers.

Another example of using someone's use of something as the definition of that thing. This is like defining computers as a technological theft device because many use them to steal and cheat. Philosophy is the study of reality, from the Greek word which means a love of wisdom, can this of...

we will save anyone if it mean we can prolong our lives, that is what hopelessness does to you. If this is all there is then might as well stick around as long as possible. This was more for those people than the one who actually got the heart.

This clearly is actually telling you to avoid worldly and deciept That is easy, with the real definition of study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, tying in the entomology of the word from the greek, the love of wisdom, then all who study the bible to better...

You are adding your bias to a definition based of what you think philosophy means. The word itself has no such bias, Philosophy is a word derived from the greek word philosophia which means love of wisdom. If the study of reality using the bible does not constitute a love of wisdom I don't know...

People in history have audibly heard God, I know that answers have come forward in my mind that were the ones I would have chosen, which is like a still small voice. The key hear is not the hearing, but the checking/testing to make sure that which is suggested by said voice is in line with...

Philosophy is human's studying life/reality. There are areas of philosophy focused on what we can reason (as if we are so smrt), but philosophy itself is just the 'study of'. That's like saying science and Christianity are way apart because some people have decided that Darwinian evolution is a...

That's alot of stuff to say truth is not philosophy, you could have just said that. That is only true if you know perfect truth perfectly, which as imperfect being we don't. Yes we can know a perfectly true God, but we don't know him perfectly, thus we study the truth that is his word for more...

Philosophy is the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, so yes Christians who study the Bible are engaging is some level of philosophy.

The prediction is not the issue, you can predict what ever you want, the point I have been trying to make throughout this thread is that playing connect the dots with current events and biblical end times statements is not useful or successful, many people smarter than both of us have tried and...

I am curious; what are some of the most intriguing or interesting or weird or bizarre or even helpful analogies explaining the Trinity that you have come across? Please don't post you feelings about the word trinity, yes I know the word doesn't actually appear in the bible, or you theology of...

first ,that was not now that was 70+ years ago, we are almost a century removed from this event. There no way of knowing how long it will before the next part. The new testament itself is written with a sense of soon to the return of Jesus even then and that was almost 2 millennia ago. The truth...

You saying Russia is coming to get Israel, that is, in fact, by definition, a prediction. You have no way of actually knowing this, which means...drum roll...it is a prediction. A millennia could pass, every last Russian person could be dead and a totally new people group could take over the...

I assume you are using the lamp parable about waiting for the bridegroom...if so this is not about trying to predict the end times. This is about being always ready. The only 'sign' they had was the call that the bridegroom was coming, which is echoed in "trumpet will sound (1 Cor 15:52)." The...

No you are doing exactly the same thing as we did 25 years ago and we also had the audacity to say the same. It has always been the same. Some people get stuck in it and others, like me, move on because Jesus himself pointed out "But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the...

This was just an advisory, which means strong currents not a giant wave. It has since been cancelled.

this the end times predicting that I got caught up in for years, but neither you nor I know what this is until it comes to pass. The Russian federation might completely fall apart and a thousand years from now a completely new entity may appear and be the nation that fulfils this passage, their...

I am not sure I agree here...one we are told in revelation that death will .com on pale horse given 1/4 of people to kill off as it pleases. This could be a quarter of whose left after the first three horsemen plough though or it could be death choosing to which horse they might fall. Of course...

holy wordplay overload Batman. Nice!
