Biblical reference to social philosophies
The Bible is simply not a scripture of religion; it has important references to several
significant human philosophies ("Christian Philosophy", 2018). Epistemology is the social
philosophy of knowledge. It refers to the knowledge of being informed (Forth, 2016). A concern
which arises in this regard is how does a human being know what is true. They start to ask
questions such as “how did I get here? Why am I here? Where am I going?” The Bible believes
that for the truth to be discovered, human beings first need to achieve the state of being a
complete rational being ("Christian Philosophy", 2018). It is Christ himself who is the
embodiment of all truth and human beings search the truth in Him.
The Christian philosophy of metaphysics is aligned with the Biblical reference to
epistemology. The Bible states that God is the only reality (Forth, 2016). Human beings have
been made in his image and this allows us to be empathetic to one another. “In the beginning was
the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning
with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men” (John 1”1-4) (Forth, 2016).
The Bible prescribes certain ethical principles, which human beings need to follow in
their daily lives. “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof,
for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent,
equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17) ("Christian Philosophy", 2018).
While talking about politics, the Bible states that it is imperative for the human beings to
follow their leaders and pray for their welfare. However, the duty to God always comes first.
