Greece the Birthplace of Philosophy

After much walking, it was a reprieve to relax on the picturesque beaches of Greece.  Everywhere we went were beautiful settings on these ancient isles.  The splendor of the landscapes and Mediterranean waters made it a wonderful place to vacation.

Prior to the birth of Christ, Greece had a strong cultural influence on Rome.  It was this Hellenic culture that gave birth to philosophy (is greek meaning the love of wisdom).  There were members of the primitive church claiming to have "special" knowledge of God that would lead many down paths of apostasy.  Paul repeatedly explained man's wisdom of intellectualism separated members from the Holy Ghost and revelation.

"...my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:  That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God."   -1 Corinthians 2:4-5
