Are you an historical, analytical philosopher ? or a Spirit-led here-and-now philosopher with augmenting God-given creative imagination ? or other? If you are a philosopher who presently does not believe in a three-fold Universal God, human Beings and in Universal Force-energy-matter, there is no need to even try to attempt a real philosophy of unification of all realities.Try a different avocation.
Peace and progress into ALL TRUTH !

My use of the term: "three-fold" refers to:
1. God
2. human Beings
3.Force-energy
When I refer to the Paradise Trinity, I use "Trinity" or "Triune" or "Three Persons of Deity", etc. (always capitalized words)

To "OpinionatedKitten"
"Tiger Tiger, Burning Brighty" is related to my here and now Spirit of Truth Authority. I am very much an eclectic-exegete who believes and teaches only from about the best 1% or the (not very) "Old Testament" and about the best 15% of the (less old) "New Testament"; also I know well the current Epochal Revelation of Truth; and I am, in I AM, led even more by continuing, Real-time-Eternal Personal God-consciousness. Don't assume that all Christians are the same in God-Knowing and in philosophical logic and in science reasoning. The three-fold genious, Blaise Pascal, in so-later- called "Pensees", stated (my rough paraphrase) Deep human minds have thousands of categories of humans; small minds have just a few (much prejudiced) ones. There are now 38,000 or more groups of Christians, each with a different creed; and each Individual therein is Absolutely Unique in both time and in Eternity with a Living one-of-a-kind Personal Spiritual Relationship with God !

Yeah, and if your a real philosopher you're guided by reason in search or general principles or normative criteria. A real philosopher--by using reason--understands that belief in a god "is a leap beyond rationality." As, Soren Kirkgerrard said. Even Immanuel Cant knew.
It sounds as if you are trying to stretch the very book you are supposed to follow, t aking what you want and discarding the rest, just like the many before you, such as Joeseph Smith had done. The simple fact beyond all this is that true philosphers know the difference between reason and faith. You don't seem to know.

Generally speaking, philosophy moves away from scriptural revelations in its explanations.
Just for starters, do you actually believe that the Bible never underwent any kind of historical process before being handed to us in its present version? Do you think God zapped the book into existence one day?
Critical thinking such as this (on the subject of history) might snap you out of such a naive view of religion and truth. Even theologians (serious ones anyway) have to admit the Bible is not something to be simply swallowed whole. Fundamentalism is mostly a quirky social phenomenon that only exists in the United States and which the rest of the world regards as odd at best.

Cutting through all that rhetoric you spewed out, the fact is that the Bible and Science have the same author. In fact, Christianity and Philosophy are naturally integrated, that is leaving out Nietzsche', Wittgenstein, Sartre, Foucault, Derrida, and others, who all have given philosophy a bad name. I don't believe I would use three fold universal God, as I would use the triune God head, in which all three persons are co-equal, co-majestic, and co-eternal in nature. I guess I am an analytical philosopher, but not in the spirit of Russell or Wittgenstein. In addition, I am a Christian and a Philosopher, neither at the expense of the other.

Why are you assuming that all spirit led philoshopers use the Bible? And for that matter, not all Christians believe in the Trinity. You claim to love the truth, well the truth is that the Bible doesn't mention the trinity. The truth is very subjective. Read a book.

I entertain all teachings and science, Christian, Pagan, Sumerian, Egyptian, Greek, Mayan, Aztec, Incan, Hebrew, Hindu, etc. So yes.

Yes, you try to incorporate all of those things for a more well-rounded viewpoint.
