Greetings,
Now what do I mean by this title, because I am sure that is what you are asking yourself. For some background info to this question I have been self studying philosophy for some time now. I have read from Empirical Aristotle to Existential Satre. Also "Christan" philosophers like Anselm and Aquinas. Throught all of this the question in my mind has come to, "What is the role of reason in the Christian Faith." Luther called reason a whore, but he sure did use it a lot. Luther, Calvin (and myself) would not call reason or logic a whore in and of itself. I have come to this conclusion:
"When reason is based upon faith(In God's Revelation a.k.a. the Bible, and the finished vicarious work of Christ) reason becomes like a bride. "
"When reason is based on secular Ideas(humansim i.e. Existenalsim, Post Modernsim and the like), reason becomes nothing more than a godless whore."
When reason and saving faith meet, it is like a husband and a bride. Comming together, conjugal bliss forms good and wholesome offspring. But when reason unites with humanism, it is gross immorality. The bed is defiled and disease with hellashious torment is the only thing that is produced. This is...as it were... for your thought. I will give more thought on this tomorow.
By Christ Alone,
Reformer
