Philosophy and Morality

[ScottishJohn]

Has anyone gone to the theology thread and asked them to stop using theological terms?

I like to learn about conceptsa and ideas that are new to me, especially when there is often hundreds of years of thinking already happened on a subject that is new to me - stops you from having to reinvent the wheel for every conversation!

The language of philosophy...

On a Philosophy forum...

whatever next?!

I have read many threads on this board in my short time here. And there seems to be one thing that stands out amongst the skeptics.

So many try to be so philosophical --- so existential---so learned--- that it gets to the point that you're not even having a conversation anymore, but rather, you're writing a dissertation, and a rather poorly put together one at that.

Everyone on here probably knows a little something about philosophy and I know in part that's what this forum is, but my goodness. Enough with these Delphic injunctions and models of logic. Speak so that folks can understand what is being said.

All of this Nietzsche and Kant and Hume and Philosophy 101 wordspeak in which people continue to place their trust, but they can't trust God's Word because it "was translated and written by men."

Gee willickers. If one more person says something about models of human behavior and evolutionary theory in response to "Is the sky blue," then I'm going to personally ban you from the board...J/K.

It's a love relationship between the tongue and the ear.

2 Peter 2:17-22
17These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. 18For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of sinful human nature, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. 19They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity–for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. 20If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. 21It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. 22Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,”and, “A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud.”

2 Timothy 4:3
For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.

As always, God's Word holds true.
