Some questions..

these are some old questions that I found

while digging through and old hard drive,

it would be interesting if anyone had any of the answers.....

We have Philosophy. We have Theology. 

Some people address philosophic issues 

according to their beliefs of God. Other 

people evaluate their beliefs of God 

according to their philosophy.  I see two 

beginnings that can govern your flow of 

ideas, or can dictate the rationality for 

your mental paradigm.  You can start 

with God, or Philosophy.  I believe they 

are both good means with which to 

measure or filter our ideas. 

But they don't seem to mesh very well 

when thinking about origins and causality,

and what we can know about existence.  

They tend to create more

questions than they answer. 

God is stable and rational, but not 

philosophically speaking.  Philosophy 

is logical, but not theologically speaking.  

They both talk about each other, often 

negating principles and ideas of the 

other.  And they are both, theoretically 

or supposedly, truth.  As a Theist, how 

ought I use philosophy? As a philosopher, 

can I presuppose the Truths and Principles 

of God, as knowable truth?  Is human 

understanding adequate to examine God?  

Can you not explain God in accord with 

a philosophical understanding?  Will God 

line up with that, or ought we to line our 

philosophy up with what God is? Will the 

idea of God be clarified by means of 

philosophic inquiry, or will Philosophy 

be further clarified after an 

understanding of God is reached?

So while you are trying to understand what I was thinking about during freshman philosophy, enjoy this picture I took of a bird. A yellow bird.
