G-d's name...
This video clip inspired me to write this reflection:
One of my favorite classes at my divinity school was
doctrine of G-d. It was a more philosophical
approach to G-d but still based on some Biblical doctrines.
Why philosophy? Philosophy by its definition of the word is the
love of knowledge. It helps us to ask
all kinds of questions and take a topic of discussion in all kinds of different
direction.
Philosophy should never limit us in pursue of better understanding
of the examine topic. Some people in the
Church think that the Bible should guide the philosophical pursue of the
knowledge of God, however, that is not what I go for. Yes, the Bible should be one of the sources
that we use to help us to understand how people have related and understood G-d
in the past but it should not limit the way how we approach this question. Also, the philosophy should not neglect the
Bible. It should take it in consideration
as one of the sources that are very important for a good number of people that
are interesting in the question of G-d.
