Philosophy : the search for truth and reality

Philosophy: The object of philosophy is to ascertain facts of truth, and causes of things or their phenomena, to enlarge our views of God and His works...
Noah Webster 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language

3rd New Edition International Dictionary (humanist - politically correct)
"...a search for the underlying causes and principles of reality" (assumptive language - no God).

"Political correctness: obfuscation of truth" dplinderman copyright 1989

A servant of the Lord must not quarrel. Instead he must be kind to everyone. He must be a good teacher. He must be willing to suffer wrong. He must be gentle in correcting those who oppose the Good News. Maybe God will allow them to change the way they think and act and lead them to know the Truth. Then they might come back to their senses and God will free them from the devil's snare so that they can do His will (2 TIM 2: 24-26 Names of God Version)

We must not be condesending, or badger the non-believers with "the errors of their ways".
We must see them as we once were ourselves, CAPTIVES of the Devil.

Be careful not to let anyone rob you 'of this faith' through a shallow and misleading philosophy. Such a person follows human traditions and the world's way of doing things rather than following Christ (COL 2: 8 NGV)

Don't become like the people of this world. Instead, change the way you think. Then you will always be able to determine what God really wants - what is good, pleasing, and perfect (ROM 12: 2 NGV)
KJV same verse .. And be not comformed to this world: but be TRANSFORMED by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (ROM 12: 2 KJV)

...we are changed into HIS Image with ever-increasing glory. This comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. (2 COR 3: 18 b.)

The Lord is the Spirit. The Spirit is Truth. The Truth is THE WORD OF GOD see John 17:17

Buy into the Humanist World View - Buy into the assumptive language of humanist thought - comform to the world.

Buy into the Word of God - Know the Truth - Know Freedom.
