Gregory, this is always so peculiar to me when people refer to Plato and Aristotle as some sort of original laboratory philosophers that somehow, out of their own brilliant human philosophy, are the REAL creators of Jesus Christ.
Of all of the pathetic, gut-wretching vomit satan has created in the human mind, this parallel between two very brilliant and intuitive men sensoing that in all of creation and their own personal receptories in their bodies and minds put there by God during the Creation process, that there must be SOMETHING do life other than degrading sex orgies on a national basis surrounding the pagan observances of worship of man made images, and throw in the pyschotic and depraved Caesars also as "manifestations of the gods on earth."-- That Aristotle and Plato sensed something more is quite logical. And inescapable. Their writings all point to the Father of Jesus Christ. The God they knew nothing of, nor had read "Jewish ancient writings" I can assure you. First of all, the Jews didn't translate them and send them out to local libraries---DUH!
To twist this into a demonic satanic thesis is one of the scariest and more destructive thought patterns you could ever incorporate into your own.
I will say nothing more about this to you, especially, since I do not see you as one who has sold his soul and posts on Christian threads as a satanic mole, desquised somehow as a curious agnostic.
What I will say is this: HEAR ME IN HEAVEN FATHER GOD. MAY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST REBUKE THESE THOUGHTS FROM OUR FRIEND'S MIND. BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS. MAY THE BLOOD OF JESUS CLEANSE THIS THOUGHT FROM THE PIT. MAY THE BLOOD OF JESUS WASH THE SCALES FROM GREGORY-JOHN'S EYES.
That is what I will say on this. I haven't responded to it in others as it is pearls before swine, which our Lord suggested clearly not to bother.
I would also suggest you spend some quality time pouring over the staement of Paul to the Ephesians about the strange little altar to the "unknown God" someone build. Nameless, not a clue as to who this feeling was comiing from, but obviously not one of the multitudinous manifestations of satan imported by each Roman conquering general from each and every pagan outpost. The reason? They felt if they worshipped everything there was from any country, it coveredc all bases of pagan satanic service.
Paul then says, "Interestingly, it is THIS UNKNOWN GOD I STAND BEFORE YOU TO TALK ABOUT.
iI'm going to go eat before I get on more of a tirade here. This is just one of the bubbling below the surface unbearable situations of human thought I never have time to address. |
