The Wisdom Revealed By The Spirit
5 So that your faith should be based, not on the philosophy of man, but on the power of God. 6 Yet there is a philosophy that we teach to those whose faith is matured, but it is not the philosophy of to-day, nor that of the leaders of to-day-men whose downfall is at hand. 7 No, it is a divine philosophy that we teach, one concerned with the hidden purpose of God-that long-hidden philosophy which God, before time began, destined for our glory.
