Hogwash

Well,the religion of Christianity is a system of men and as such can be likened to such. But anyone with a brain would understand that the Nation called the Kingdom of God whose National Constitution and Law is the Gospel is not of philosophy

How is it not a philosophy?

The Constitution may be regarded as an achievement of political philosophy. However, the document itself is not of philosophy. If you still don't understand, consider an everyday example you are maybe aware of such as the U.S Constitution.

The Gospel is the Constitutional Law in God's Special Nation of Priests - Exodus 19 vs 6 - which He promised He would constitute of the people of Israel, much the same way the Old Law also is the National Constitution of the Nation of Israel in the Land of Canaan given by God to the people of Israel of who He constituted His nation of Israel.

Don't you know what philosophy is? 🤷‍♂️

Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems concerning matters such as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. It is distinguished from other disciplines by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument.

The gospel of Christ is a philosophy in the sense that it deals with the fundamental problems of life.
It offers a way of understanding existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. And it does so through a bit of rational argument. How's that not philosophy? 🤷‍♂️

Na philosophy or not? 🤣

According to the bible,the gospel of Christ deals with the fundamental problems of life by offering a way of understanding existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Christ's gospel is based on the statement that God created everything and is in control of everything.
This gospel offers hope and a purpose for life in a world that is often filled with pain, suffering, and evil. The gospel of Christ also provides a way to understand the meaning of life and how to find happiness and fulfillment.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)

Now tell me. Na philosophy or not? Stop getting off point! 🤣

Men, you are full of shit. How can you admit that the Constitution is born out of philosophy and yet the document will not be philosophical? Like a baby goat is not a goat! Men, you are still mentally ill.

Correction! Philosophy is the just the use of the ability of thinking. That is the beginning and end of philosophy.

That is why you would always find them saying "Thomas Hobbs thought that or Bentham said that it Augustine believed that..."

These are just people who did their own thinking and we are being told what they thought.

But we all have the ability to think and to do our own thinking, in whatever manner we choose to exercise it and that is why we have arguments.

Thus, we all exercise our thinking ability on any subject we find interesting and that is what philosophy is all about and it is really not our concern what Augustine or Darwin thought.

And that is why I hate what philosophy teachers always do in trying to always force and bend and manipulate our right to think towards accepting and following the thinkings of other people as if we too cannot think or do not have our own thinkings on a subject.

Thinking is free and we all have a right to do our own thinking, undisturbedly!

Firstly, I agree with almost everything you wrote. But, however, as a Christian, we must be able to answer this simple question: "Is the answer provided to this philosophical question justified by the Christian faith?" Inability to give an answer exposes our lack of understanding of Christianity.

Exploring Christianity through a philosophical lens will not only enhance Christians understanding of the unique Christian Faith but also improve Christians abilities to answer philosophical questions from the point of view of Christianity.

Secondly, I agree with your last paragraph: "Thinking is free and we all have a right to do our own thinking." However, I believe you are downplaying the role religion plays in shaping human thoughts-- for example, a Stoic and an Hedonistic might offer different answers to the same philosophical question.

The role religion plays in shaping our thoughts is the reason that the religion of people who are famous for rioting over mundane issues, such as blasphemy, have no civilisations to its name.

Christianity is unique in a way because it helps to shape Christian thoughts for the better.

In my opinion, Christians exploring Christianity through philosophical lens and answering philosophical questions through Christian lens will significantly impact and improve our society. Christianity offers a unique lens through which Christians can understand and approach complex philosophical questions, allowing us to develop a deeper understanding of ourselves, nature, and ultimately, the world around us.

Truth is, people will always choose and act in ways which pleases them. Thus, every thinking out there whether good or evil is open to be carried up by them.

And no matter how much people raise that the Christian thinking is best, immoralist will never find it acceptable.

Therefore, I am just respecting that people have a right to choose a philosophy which they find appealing even if reasonable people will say it is a bad one.
