#1. Philosophy: “the love of wisdom”.
Philosophy is the study of the fundamental nature of truth, reality, knowledge, beauty, and ethics.
COL 2:4,8
Philosophy asks good questions.
All the right answers are in the Bible!
There is the wisdom from above, and then there is another wisdom that is earthy, natural, and demonic.
There is what the Bible teaches about the subjects of philosophy….
…and then there is everything else -
which is either
man-made or demonic.
What is truth?
Your answer to that question determines your philosophy.
