PhilosophyBeware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. (Col. 2:8)
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God.

... yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.
1 Corinthians 8:6
The Following User Says Thank You to TheocraticMonarchist For This Useful Post:
But is the Bible really the place to turn for logic? Is not logic the domain of scholars and philosophers? The British philosopher John Locke long ago answered this common misconception: “God has not been so sparing to men to make them barely two-legged creatures, and left it to Aristotle to make them rational.” In other words, logic existed and people reasoned and used the critical faculties of their minds long before any philosopher came along to teach about it.
Of course. Logic did not come about with Aristotle, but God did use Aristotle to systematize it. (It would be a mistake to go to the other extreme and not appreciate the epoch-making achievement of the Stagirite.)
