Christians: is metaphysics of your God or the devil? Be academic and thoughtful or don't respond.?

Answer 1

Quoted Material:
[Argument 1:]

IV. RELATION OF METAPHYSICS TO OTHER SCIENCES
The consideration of the relation in which metaphysics stands, or ought to stand, to the other sciences should result in a refutation of the positivist contention that metaphysics is useless. In the first place, metaphysics is the natural co-ordinating science which crowns the unifying efforts of the other sciences. It accomplishes in the highest plane of knowledge that process of unification towards which the human mind tends irresistibly. Without it, the explanations and co-ordinations attained in the lower sciences would be, perhaps, satisfactory within the limits of those sciences, but would fail to meet the requirements of that unifying instinct which the mind tends to apply to knowledge in general

Metaphysics is the science of the first principles.

This definition also is given by Aristotle (Met. IV, 1003 a, 26). Every science is an inquiry into the causes and principles of things; this science inquires into the first principles and highest causes, not only in the order of existence, but also in the order of thought. It belongs, then, to metaphysics

1. to inquire into the nature of cause and principle in general and to determine the meaning of the different kinds of causality, formal, material, efficient, and final:
2. to investigate the first principles in the order of knowledge, and establish the validity, for instance, of the principles of identity and contradiction.

[Argument 2]: God is the object of theology. It is only natural, therefore, that metaphysics and theology should have many points of contact, and that the latter should rely on the former. Finally, since all truth is one, both in the source from which it is derived, and in the subject, the human mind, which it adorns, there must be a kinship between two sciences which, like theology and metaphysics, treat of the most important conceptions of the human mind. The difference in the manner of treatment, theology relying on revelation, and metaphysics on reason alone, does not affect the unity of purpose and the final harmony of the conclusions of the two sciences.

Points:
1. Metaphysics without the acknowledgement and study of Theology and the relationship between God and man is a denial of a reality which impinges upon the result of the inquiry
2. Metaphysics that lacks a formal scientific approach that includes the study of information revealed to man through God would endanger the man, his soul and life itself.

Conclusion:
Whereas man can be misled to falsely conclude about forces which are unseen and affect his existence, it is folly to not reason with a well-proved Theological Treatise on the Nature of Man and God, and moreover, several such studies. To do so would permit a metaphysical study to correspond to revealed considerations of God, and with prayer, more so.

(1) Metaphysics is the science of being as being.
(2) Metaphysics is the science of immaterial being.
(3) Metaphysics is the science of the most abstract conceptions.
(4) Metaphysics is the science of the most universal conceptions.
(5) Metaphysics is the science of the first principles.

The Categories

Real Being is divided (not by strict logical division, but by a process analogous to it) into Finite and Infinite. Finite Being is divided into the supreme genera, Substance and Accident. Accident is further divided into Quantity, Quality, Relation, Action, "Passion", Place, Time, Posture, and Habit (or possession). These nine Accidents, together with the supreme genus, substance, are the ten Aristotelean Categories into which, as supreme classes, all Being is divided.

Note: There is much written about this from a Christian standpoint, that is very revealing when the soul was bathed in light. At the present time, what is called the dark night, so much of what used to be observable is actually hidden and needs to be looked at from a traditional sense.

Answer 2

Metaphysics of your God or the devil?

Well academically I don't know where to begin . . . . . . Metaphysics is a philosophy that has different meanings . . . . .. there are many various ways to understand metaphysics. Father K expressed only one variation . . . . . . .

You need to explain further what you mean to get an academic or thoughtful answer from me.

God Bless

Answer 3

If you're looking for an academic answer, you should ask an academic question. I have no idea what it is that you are really trying to ask. "is metaphysics of your God or the devil" is an ambiguous sentence. Do you mean to ask if metaphysics is caused, is a tool or such created by either God or Satan? Are you inquiring as to the metaphysics of these beings?

Metaphysics is the study of being or reality. Theology itself is a metaphysical study.

If you are talking about psychical studies, or magical studies, that's something else.

Answer 4

For an academic answer, you MUST ask an academic question!
Is metaphysics of your God or the devil?
WHAT?
And what is the metaphysics of metaphysics?

Answer 5

Great question. I'm not sure I believe in Aristotelian metaphysics - - which is one reason I don't use the word "transubstantiation" when I talk of the Real Presence in the Eucharist. I think that you have to buy into that concept to believe that way - and I can't make that leap. I think the study of it is man-made - mankind searching to make sense out of the physical world. I would not give credit to God or Satan.

Answer 6

Neither. Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy of man.

Answer 7

That may actually confuse a lot of christians, but I know what you are asking. Be nice and make the question understandable. Blunt, too would be good.

Answer 8

It all depends on how it is approached. To learn truth or try to verify ones own agendas?

Answer 9

Dear Asker, wherever you are, Metaphysics is written by people that stays away from God, they want to heal by themselves, they say God is everywhere (which is true) but they don't want to attend the Church by saying that and that puts a person who does that in the state of Atheism.

All of the writers are Illuminati and the most prolific are in the most depth sphere of Illuminism of Masonry which is Satanism.
You can read their books and if you compare to the jobs that some Christians Protestants and maybe some Catholics (I'm a catholic but I have not seen analysis from my church on this subject) and you will see coined phrases that belong to the Satanist Church, like Universal Principles, "I am love", "Me this", "Me that" "I am a magnet for love and money" and more so.

See the influence of Satanism? The individualism that born in the pride of Satan is the base of this cult/pseudoscience, all denial of the power of God, they mention him a few times but in a deceiving way.

By far, the people that most fall in this miserable lie are the women, divorced or married wives and mothers who make unbearable the lives of their relatives once they get in contact with this evil material. The reason is clear, the woman has more attributes than a man in beauty, as the anointed Angel in Heaven that later became Satan; the married woman in an environment of laziness will awake evil thoughts that she should be like a man, working outdoors (if they agreed since the beginning that she would be a housewife) and gets out and cheats on him to "start to be happy".

That's another of their favorite phrases and it was the firstly used in early twentieth century to sell their books, although the false searching for happiness outside the rules of God has been present for centuries as Apostle Paul writes on his books.

Leibniz described that happiness outside God like Optimism, which the last century was turned into Positivism, you know, adapting the old lies to the new times taking words from true, as it was very popular by then the atomic theory (atoms, neutrons, positrons).

You are on time to stop to be deceived by that pernicious material that deceivingly calls itself Metaphysics, according to them Aristotle wanted to write about all what goes beyond the physical world.

And they put him like a father of that pseudoscience, but it's hard to believe that such a man was capable of that evil, because intellectuals in Greece were not materialists and oppressive men, they were kind and affected to knowledge for common wellbeing. That's why apostle Paul had some easiness to spread Catholicism there.

In fact, the Metaphysics proposes all the contrary to what its name suggests and to what their defendants promulgate, all distancing from the God, to find the inner God that there is "inside everyone of us".

That's exactly what believed Satan, and that's taught at the Church of Satan, not what they officiously declare, the love for God and hate for the enemy. it is the hate and deny for God and the hate for the enemy and the love for oneself.

If you truly believe Lord Jesus when he says that the key to the Heaven if forgiving, not like they write in every of their pages, to deny the existence of sin, so they can continue sinning and you have to forgive their execrable sins like fornication; but the true forgiving that takes to take distance from them, even if are your relatives, in their sins, but fighting actively what they do till they get tired of any wickedness.

That is forgiveness, a second opportunity to the sinner, waiting for him/her, not sharing their sins, is the chance to make up their minds to start again as a just born.


Blessings.
