1 | A Philosophy According to Christ | Col 2:8 | Lionstrong | 5638 | ||
This verse is misquoted to say let no one take you captive through philosophy, but Paul doesn't say that. He says philosophy... according to the tradition of men, etc., rather than according to Christ. So there can be a philosophy according to Christ, a philosophy as Paul says that takes every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. In the nineteenth century Christian thinkers called this philosophy Christian theism. Today they call it a Christian or Biblical world and life view. The objective is the same, to see and interpret all of life, every endevor of human interest, occupation and study, from the perspective of God's revelation to Man, the Holy Scritures, and to bring all of life under the lordship of Christ. |

Greetings, Mark; ............... To answer your question, no one asked. I was just taking advantage of Lockman's offer of "a free study Bible with an unlimited margin." ............ The idea is to make a comment on or ask a question of a verse or passage. Then someone else in the forum applying 2 Tim 3:16 may fill out the thoughts or make corrections, or give a different point of view, or give an answer from Scripture. ........................ Do you have any thoughts on this passage, Mark? Do you think there can be such a thing as a Christian philosophy? |

Hi Lionstrong, I know that this is an old post but tell me more about "a free study Bible with an unlimitd margin." Mark did not offer any thoughts to you. I would offer a comparison of Col 2:8 with John 15, perhaps verse 3. John 15:3, "You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you." From the heart, Ray |

John 15:3 "You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. I am sorry, Ray. I see no relevance in your verse to my comments on Col 2:8. The subject is Christian philosophy. What are YOU talking about, or what is the relevance of John 15:3 to the subject of Christian philosophy? P.S. I'm happy that people are digging up my old posts. Bible study is what this forum is about and it does not matter how old the post is. There ARE no "dead" posts! |

Hi Lionstrong, Your thought was that a Christian philosophy should come from the perspective of the Holy Scriptures. John 15:3 says to me that the word that was spoken, the Holy Scriptures, has already prepared them. Now all they, and in application, all we have to do is abide in Him and walk in Him as Colossians 2:6 says. The branch that walks in Him bears fruit and walks in Him or else it is taken away. Every branch that is firmly rooted in the vine bears fruit because He prunes it and establishes it, being built up in Him. I see the relevance of Col 2:8 with John 15:3 in that we have Christ, and we have no need of anything else. We are already pruned and ready to bear fruit because of the word of truth. Not only do His words abide in us , John 15:10, but He abides with you and He will be in us, John 14:17. Apart from the Holy Spirit we can do nothing. We need to keep His word also as He teaches us all things and reminds us of all the things that Jesus said to us. John 3:25, "The woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us." John 14:24, "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but of the One who sent Me, the Father. So I see all three Person of the triune God speaking the words of God. This is my Christian "philosophy" which is taken from the word of God. I hope to know Him better and better, and the Holy Scriptures is all I need. John 14:7, "If you had known Me, you would have known My *Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him." John 14:25, "These things *I have spoken to you while abiding with you. John 15:3, "You are already clean because of the word which *I have spoken to you." I hope that some of this makes sense to you. From the heart, Ray |

Ray, In terms of developing a biblical world and life view, what you wrote does not make sense to me. I recommend you read Gordon H. Clark's "A Christian View of Men and Things." You can order it on-line at www.trinityfoundation.org. Peace, |
