Philosophy is the tree where Theology is a branch. Understanding theological premises can be intellectually challenging. Our thoughts are not tested to withdraw us from facts, but to strengthen our reasonings in an argument. A lot of people will say, "I argued with someone." I am sorry, but that argument wasn't philosophical. It was explicit. An argument without the foundational strength of a strong and valid premise is explicit. If cursing is the foundation of your argument, it is explicit. Theology uses philosophical arguments that often become arrogant, ignorant, and personal which causes the argument to be valid, irrational, and explicit. The irrational part of the argument comes from personal feelings that might attribute to your general cause.
Asking questions is good. For example; Who is God? What is God like? All great questions cannot come from beliefs. In our society, people feel the urge to see something they want to believe in. But, what is faith? Can you see faith? You can see it demonstrated. But, can you see faith? If I cannot see faith, how will I see God? I can see God's creation, but I cannot see God. That is why the Bible tells us what God is like and what Heaven is like. He wants us to envision the perfect picture rather than him saying he looks like this and that. He states "I AM." Who are you? "I AM." I am the creator of perfection. I am who I say I am. I am love. I am joy.
Who are you?
