Philosophy Beware 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.

The value of worldly wisdom

Here is a link to a transcript of a sermon that John MacArthur preached: The Value of Worldly Wisdom* -* John MacArthur

What do you think of it? John MacArthur defines philosophy as man's wisdom. I thought philosophy could be either God's wisdom or man's wisdom depending upon your approach to philosophy. Not all philosophy is man's wisdom. For example, logic, a branch of philosophy, is not man's wisdom. Logic was not invented by man; it was discovered by man.

Haven't read this yet, but tell me if I am far off in my thought that Truth is not so much discovered but revealed. God reveals to us what He wants us to know...when He wants us to know it.

I agree. God reveals the Truth to man.
