[QUOTE=davem] To claim that he was revealing the hidden truth to them simply showed that he had not the faintest grasp of philosophy.

I should have something to say about that. The problem with philosohpy is that it is by all means unstable. Philosophy can contradict istelf by taking on double, triple, even many more meanings. It is not ignorance to simply find yourself believing something and then want to share it. It is actually the way of a human concept. Fighting by means of philosophy can be productive as well as destructive. Paul was not out to fight by means of philosophy, he was shown a way of life and a higher power. It was real to him. It wasn't something he manifested in his mind and came to prove he was right about. He wanted to prove a real thing should be real to all. Agree with me or not, you can't deny that half of what the world exists on is by theory or philosophy. We find a real thing and try to explain it. That is philosophy. Paul wasn't trying to "explain" so much as he was trying to show that it was real. If we sat around and explained everything to everyone and never told them about it, then they'd never get to experience it and explanation is pointless without experience or the promise of experience.(Laughs) and here I am being philosophical about the instability of philoshophy. This world trips me out I tell you.
Anywhosit , all I'm saying is that a grasp of reality is far more valuable than a grasp of philoshophy at times.
