Which areas of Christian Theology were especially affected by the ideas of the Enlightenment?

Answer 1

The Apostle Paul answers how Christianity (basically Hebrew doctrine) is effected by the ideas of Enlightenment (philosopha doctrine), in his letter to the Colossians (Colossians 2).

What most people fail to understand is that the term enlightenment was used by modern mankind to bury the name of the doctrine which was used as the basis of enlightenment. This is done on purposed to avoid any connection related to Zealot or Religious adherence to that doctrine.

Philosopha doctrine was given to Socrates by the oracle of Delphi and became the doctrine of choice in Greece and Macedonia. Philosopha doctrine has 5 pillars (also called branches) and one main tenant.

The Pillars:

1. Metaphysics: Existence (Why does mankind exist? Who else exists? and so on)
2. Epistemology: Knowledge based on flesh mans experience and the rules related to his world
3. Ethics: What should one do
4. Politics: Grouping and Shaping humans (political correctness)
5. Esthetics: The definition and appearance of all things (and the shaping of them, via politics)

The Tenant

Dialectics (early argument formed within the box of mans kosmos)

1. Applied Dialectics (Using Aristotle and Hegel's definitions of dialectics as a method of warfare .. to create extreme action (usually negative)in order to bring about the change necessary to force out other doctrine). This method identifies a Thesis, then motivates the Antithesis to use the 5 pillars to demonize and destroy the Thesis in order to bring about Synthesis. Treatment of the Jews by the 3rd Reich is an excellent example of Applied Dialectics being used to destroy an identified Thesis, by Socialists.

Its when philosopha doctrine and its tenant "Applied Dialectics" are used together, that they can create the worst damage via deception. This action is specifically what Paul warns against in Colossians 2. Philosopha doctrine has been used as the basis to redefine the meaning of biblical text, thereby limiting the intent and meaning of bibilcal texts to apply to flesh mankind and that entity's kosmos only.

Enlightenment (zealot or religious belief in philosopha doctrine) has taken all biblical text and redefined it using applied dialectics and the pillars of philosopha doctrine. In that version (known as liberation theology or theology of liberation), All things written are redefined from the viewpoint of the philosopha believer.

Understanding biblical text therefore becomes and indulgence in identifying the entire of the texts as mythical ideology written and supposed at the hands of men, exactly as that of the Greek gods and goddesses. Our Father, his prophets, Christ and his apostles become nothing more than mythical stories, assumed to have no factual basis.

You will find the basis for this approach (enlightenment) in the writings of the zealot purveyors of philosopha doctrine, known as "the young Hegelian's" (Students of Hegel), which include Feuerbach, the Bauer Brothers, Sterner, Marx, and Engels. It was the assumption of these Young Hegelian's that Hebrew doctrine and Christianity were ideals defined by the Jews in order to control their people. The facts related to this belief are that Jews never wrote any of the Hebrew manuscripts, they were all written by Levitical scribes.

Jews were but one of the 12 tribes of Israel (Judah). Its common for those of ill understanding to assume the word Jew and Hebrew mean the same thing. However that assumption is false. Hebrew defines a specific people of Abraham's son Isaac. Jew defines the people of one of the 12 tribes (Judah) of Isaac's son Jacob (Israel).

The acceptance of philosopha doctrine (aka enlightnment) comes during a time that evil men came to power in Christendom (usually the Catholic Church), and used their power for their own evil deeds (insurrection), most all of their deeds standing against the 10 commandments. You will find this same evil take power in the Temple up to and during Christ's time. Christ identifies them and puts them in their place (John 8), as they falsely claim to be of Abraham and of Israel.

The same control, distorting and deception which occurred with the Temple during Christ's time, is occurring today. The zealot philosopha have taken control of the Vatican, subverted the doctrine of Christianity, and Christian teaching. Today Christ is perceived as a radical; a community organizer and not Immanuel as defined by our Father at the mouth of the prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 7), and not the savior or mankind before our Father. The philosopha have removed from Christ the price he paid to become the one sacrifice for the sins of mankind (1 Corinthians 15:3, Colossians 2:13, Luke 3:3), and the ability through that sacrifice to forgive individuals who believe in Christ, of their sins against each other and against our Father.

The philosopha have reduced Christ to being just another political subversive; a man, working against the great corporate system of injustice, according to the dialectic. The Philosopha have stripped Christ of his title of King of kings and Lord of lords, and placed him on the shelf with the other philosopha based ,political subversives such as Mohamed, Moses, Marx, Stalin, Hitler, Mau, Shaw, and so on.
