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, |
