Christian Philosophy In
"Nutshell"

Hi Brian: good show, buddy, blessed by Holy Spirit u demonstrate once again. Well, remember any religion's purpose is to integrate conscious mind w. emotions, sub-conscious, etc.--to make the person whole, spirit w. mind and body, etc.
Ok, and then note the CORE of the religious vehicle is the inner PHILOSOPHY--this is the real substance of it all. And w. Christianity, worship of truth, Christ is mere character, figure, symbol for TRUTH--for truth is what we worship--Gosp. JOHN 14:6--and this should be definitive. Any Christian MUST acknowledge this worship of truth if he wants to be Christian--and the HERETICS are the ones who deviate, "going their own way."
Note also, a philosophy is also often best understood in terms of Hegelian-style anti-theses; thus Christianity stands for truth vs. Jew/Satanic lies (see Gosp. JOHN 8:44), based upon OBJECTIVE reality vs. subjectivism of Satanism (extreme subjectivism, idea that mind/consciousness is source of reality, making the subject God, the creator).
Thus truth is the basic, fundamental thing, value--EVERYTHING ELSE is secondary, including "faith," "peace," "love," etc. "Good" does not and cannot exist within an objective, hence DETERMINED reality, absolute cause-effect, no perfectly "free" human will. Humans are sinners by definition, and no human will can ever change this. Only way to heaven and "salvation" is by God's mercy and grace--cannot be done by human alone--as demonstrated. by St. Augustine in his battle against Pelagian heresy--ck Jewwy Wikipedia for easy source, ref.
Now then note the Christian philosophy is thus definitively laid down, Christ being TRUTH, the only way to God and hence happiness (or perhaps better, satisfaction). And the implication then is such truth principle entails the OBJECTIVE (Aristotelian) reality as basis--it doesn't depend merely on what someone says--as the Pharisees insist, according to their filthy Talmud, "midrash," and "Oral Law Tradition." See Talmudical.BlogSpot.com, RevisionistReview.BlogSpot.com, Come-and-hear.com, and TruthTellers.org for best Talmudic expo.
Ok, and now finally, for this short, "nut-shell" expo here, the basics to Christian philosophy laid-down, the Christian ETHICS is founded and provided-for regarding the beginning principles--the objective reality. And note it's these Christian ethics which are most noted, discussed, and revered by the Christian people throughout the ages, fm the very beginning--these ethics being what Christianity really is all about for at least 90% of the Christian volk and "faithful" (loyalists)--they don't really grasp the more basic metaphysics too terribly well, not making a tremendously great effort to do so.
So u see, Christianity is, as in Old Testament, a LITERARY religion, tradition--getting the lessons and Christian philosophy itself fm a story given in literature--just like the Greeks got theirs fm the Illiad and Oddysey legends/myths. Christianity, worship of TRUTH (= Christ) is extremely Greek for inspiration--as was the original Torah of Mosaic law.
Remember also, this literary tradition is NECESSARY as the people of time of Christ were fairly illiterate, to great extent--they didn't necessarily attend too much schooling, so they'd stock their memory by means of this kind of mythos and story fm which they'd draw lessons and moral-type development which would be noted and discussed w. their parents and elders, family members, etc.
