The sovereignty of the self-contained God is the key to every field, in that only the God of Scripture makes all things possible and explicable and is thus the basic premise not only of theology, but of philosophy, science, and indeed all knowledge. In that God is the creator of all things, He is their only valid principle of interpretation, in that they derive both their existence and meaning from His creative act. This belief is herein set forth in terms of various aspects of human thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgain, basic to this study is the belief that such a philosophy finds consistent and able exposition in the writings of Cornelius Van Til.

The humanist faces a meaningless world in which he must strive to create and establish meaning.

It is not without case that Paine’s title is sometimes used as a synonym for the Enlightenment. Its rationalism saw faith as a blind confidence, a belief in nothing, while Hebrews 11:3 tells us it is “through faith we understand…” The Christian must see faith in God’s revelation as opening up understanding, as thinking God’s thoughts after Him, and rationalism as a restriction of thought to the narrow confines of human understanding. Reason is a gift of God, but we must not make more of it than it is.

Neoplatonism is a Greek philosophical assumption about the world. It views that which is form or spirit (such as mind)as good and that which is physical (flesh) as evil. But Scripture says all of man fell into sin, not just his flesh. The first sin was the desire to be as god, determining good and evil apart from God (Gen. 3:5). Neoplatonism presents man's dilemma as a metaphysical one, whereas Scripture presents it as a moral problem. Basing Christianity on this false Neoplatonic idea will always shift the faith from the Biblical perspective. The ascetic quest sought to take refuge from sins of the flesh but failed to address the reality of sins of the heart and mind. In the name of humility, the ascetics manifested arrogance and pride.

The most difficult threats to discern are those that are blended into our very worldview - the ones that we think are true. The Scripture warns, \"If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!\" (Mt. 6:23), i.e., the worst kind of darkness is the darkness we think is light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most neglected but pervasive threats to the Christian world and life view is that of neoplatonism. This leftover of ancient Greek philosophy is grounded upon a dual aspect to reality: It views that which is form or spirit (such as mind) as good an that which is physical (flesh) as evil. Neoplatonism is a \"dialectical\" philosophy that tries to reconcile two basically hostile concepts and retain both within its system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeoplatonism presents man's dilemma as a metaphysical one, whereas Scripture presents it as a moral problem. Basing Christianity on this false neoplatonic idea will always shirt the faith away from the Biblical perspective. Modern ideas of spirituality have developed into a form of over against the Biblical model where the Spirit of God is active in the world and in the person to work out the will of God. Too many Christians believe they can escape sin if they can escape the material world. But Scripture says all of man fell into sin, not just his flesh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlight From Humanity is a revealing look into the nature and effect of neoplatonism on contemporary Christian thought, and it offers sound Biblical solutions for the believer who desires to fully serve God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease Note: \u003c\/em\u003eThe 1st edition does not contain an index.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalcedon Store","offers":[{"title":"New 2nd Ed","offer_id":44270014365753,"sku":"flight-new","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"New 1st Ed","offer_id":44270014398521,"sku":"flightfrom","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used 2nd Ed","offer_id":44270014431289,"sku":"Dflight-new","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used 1st Ed","offer_id":44270014464057,"sku":"Dflightfrom","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/7881\/1449\/products\/Flight667x1000.jpg?v=1667597239"},{"product_id":"the-foundations-of-social-order","title":"Foundations of Social Order","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEvery social order rests on a creed, on a concept of life and law, and represents a religion in action.

Every creed, however healthy, is also under continual attack; the culture which neglects to defend and further its creedal base is exposing its heart to the enemy's knife.

Secular man wants to use the thinks of creation while denying their creator. As Dr. Rushdoony writes, 'there is no law, no society, no justice, no structure, no design, no meaning apart from God.' And so, modern man has become schizophrenic. He wants to assert his autonomy while rejecting the divine order that gives meaning to life.

They were local, parent-teacher enterprises, supported without taxes, and taking care of all children. They were remarkably high in standard and were Christian. From Mann to the present, the state has used education to socialize the child. The school's basic purpose, according to its own philosophers, is not education in the traditional sense of the 3 R's. Instead, it is to promote \"democracy\" and \"equality,\" not in their legal or civic sense, but in terms of the engineering of a socialized citizenry.

Darwin gave an ostensibly scientific justification for man's rebellion against God.

For Christians to argue about the \"unproven\" nature of the evolutionary hypothesis or the circular reasoning of its thought is of some value, but the essential issue is that two opposing religious faiths are in conflict. Evolution is popular because it is such a useful paradigm to sinful men; it dispenses with God as a prerequisite of all things. But Christianity as a religious faith depends not on proofs that are constructions of man's fallen mind, but on the reality of an almighty God who reveals Himself to us by grace.
