Philosophy can be detrimental to our thinking if we fail to view it through the lens of God's teachings. While philosophy itself is not inherently evil, our exposure to it can easily lead to deception. Due to our sinful nature, we have a tendency to create a god based on our own experiences and knowledge. In our society, we spend more time engaging with American philosophy than meditating on God's word and praying. The prevailing belief is that if something works, it must be true. We are naturally resistant to accepting absolute truths that challenge our existing beliefs. Instead, we prefer to find solutions that work in a practical sense, without fully considering the broader scope of absolute truth. We also have a lack of patience when it comes to seeking answers to our problems. We often adopt the mindset that God has done His part and now it is up to us to take action. In other words, we prioritize finding a simple explanation and implementing it into our daily lives, rather than engaging in deep thought or examining the complete truth. The Bible provides a unique framework for discovering truth and defining its essence. It is a divine revelation that stands apart from all other written works. The Bible's credibility lies in its ability to be effective wherever it is read and taught. It is not a futile waste of time, nor does it require our action for its spiritual words to have an impact on our lives. It meets all our needs at every moment of our earthly existence and contains everything necessary for a godly life. The Bible serves as a pathway to developing a relationship with Jesus Christ. If we desire to hear directly from Christ, it must be through the words of Scripture. Philosophy offers a system of pragmatism, while the Bible reveals our true nature, identifies our needs, and explains the gifts and heavenly blessings we receive through Christ. It actively works to renew and manifest these promises and glories in our lives.
