Writing 6

There are 2 kinds of philosophies, the philosophy of man and the philosophy of God. The philosophy of man casts aside God and puts man in the center of it all, judging everything from the eyes of man. The philosophy of God casts aside man and puts God in the center of it all, judging everything from the eyes of God. The basic principle of theological philosophy or theology is self-denial. It is to deny the egoistic view of the world, that is the self-oriented perspective, and the surrender to the divine view of the world, the God-oriented perspective.

The divine philosophy is difficult to accept for many people, as even now they interpret the words of God in the words of man, which is why the Church even now is divided. It is simply the common nature of man to accept their own faults, instead of struggling to overcoming them as much as they can. The reason it is difficult is it defies common understanding. Common understanding, that is human philosophy, states that for all things there must be an absolutely clear rational justification which everyone can agree upon. Divine understanding states that some fundamental truths require different kinds of justification, that is of the heart, and that justification might not be entirely rational. 

As the human is obsessed with pure rationality and has been trapped in their own shallow rationalism, it is difficult to understand the idea of God. However, divine rationality demands of us an acceptance of a different kind of rationality, that is the rationality of the heart. We are to see God on evidences of the heart, motions of the heart, and understandings of the heart. And this evidence of the heart shall be revealed as easy as the sensation of the world. Without the heart, no man can ever see God.

With this writing I wish to express that I may be going to abandon human philosophy and instead pursue divine philosophy. Human philosophy is in my eyes worthless, meaningless, and a waste of resources. Those on the humanist side has actually stated the same about theology, that theology is worthless, meaningless, and a waste of resources. So we view the same about each other, and only God and His time shall reveal who is right about who.

Obviously human philosophy isn't completely and utterly worthless, it is only so when divorced from theology. I have uttered this sentiment multiple times, that human reasoning must never be divorced from divine revelation. Once it is divorced, man will lead himself to his own destruction and demise. When combined with theology, human philosophy becomes an important tool and weapon to enlighten the world about the truth of this reality and how we are to lead our lives. However, currently I wish to take a break from the tiring endeavor of human philosophy and rest in God's revelations.
