PHILOSOPHY
OF MEN 1
Philosophy is a
comprehensive system of belief. It is a general principle usually moral. Men’s
way and thought are not that of GOD. Isaiah
55 vs. 8-9: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my
ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my
ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. No man on earth
can be compared to the All WISE GOD. The bible said in 1 Corinthians 1 vs. 25: Because the foolishness of GOD is wiser than
men; and the weakness of GOD is stronger than men. Vs. 26: (NIV): Brothers and
sisters think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise
by human standards, not many influential and powerful, not many of high and
noble birth. Vs. 27 (KJV): But GOD hath chosen the foolish things of the world
to confound the wise; and GOD hath chosen the weak things of the world to
confound the things which are mighty. Vs. 28 (NIV): GOD chose the lowly things
of this world and the despised things and the things that are not, to nullify
the things that are, Vs.29 (KJV): That no flesh should glory in his presence.
Philosophy of men sees taking GOD’s glory as nothing. Philosophy of men see GOD’s
rule and will as a defect. Philosophy of men tries to bend GOD’s rule and will
to their own taste. Philosophy of men sees these worldly things as everlasting.
Philosophy of men takes vainglory. Philosophy of men sees this world as theirs.
Philosophy of men loves the world and things that are in it. Philosophy of men
sees prayer and fasting as futile. Philosophy of men walks not in the Spirit;
but after the flesh. Philosophy of men sees their wisdom and knowledge as
spontaneous.
These people also used the
philosophy of men in Genesis 11 vs. 4:
And they said go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach
unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the
face of the whole world. Vs. 5: And the LORD came down to see the city and the
tower, which the children of men builded. Vs. 6: And the LORD said, Behold the
people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do; and
now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. GOD
confound their languages, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
Vs. 9: Therefore, is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound
the language of all the earth; and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad
upon the face of the earth. Philosophy of men will surely fade and fail. Proverb 21 vs. 30: There is no wisdom nor
understanding nor counsel against the LORD. This write up continues…It is
well with us.
