I'm getting closer...
All throughout my early college years, I struggled with the tension between the religious and philosophical worldviews. Now, I think I have reached a milestone of understanding.
I am a philosopher, in the Socratic/Platonic..../Husserlian sense. I am a seeker of truth. I want to understand reality and my place as a human within it. I join with Husserl in the phenomenological revolution, the revolution toward the things themselves!
I am a seeker of Jesus Christ. I want to want to know Him and promised power of his Resurrection. I want to find my cross and carry it. I want to die to myself and become a truly selfless human being.
There is no contradiction between the two statements above!!! Truth is truth. Either Jesus is truth or not. He claims to be and calls us to test his claims (not put to the test, TEST).
