Using reason, eh? I salute you as a good representaive of the species.

A little suspect on FR, though...

Reason eh??? Man's reasoning...Man's wisdom...

1Co_1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

1Co_1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

1Co_2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

1Co_2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

1Co_3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

Jas_1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God (not Aristotle), that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Col_2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Why in the world would you guys look to human philosophers instead of God??? And then pat each other on the back for it???

Because God inspired the word. He did not write them.

Speaking I think for both Petrosius and myself (if I may) we are not looking to human philosophers "instead of God." Some adjustment of your perception is needed.

G'night now: I've got an early morning tomorrow. And we just had a glorious rain: I've got a lot of weeding to do.
