psychohmike submitted: "Don't remember where I found this. Maybe if more people quit thinking like westerners preterism wouldn't seem so outlandish; please not the differences between western and eastern thinking, and how disciplines such as theology, philosophy and logic are greatly affected by those differences.
Enjoy these presentations!

(User Info | Send a Message) | I gotta say, the very first presentation is excellent, especially when it describes the west vs. east views of truth:
Greeks: Greeks see truth as static and unchanging.
Hebrew: Hebrews see truth as unfolding.
Greek: For Greeks, the ultimate in truth tends to be scientific and rational. When looking at scriptures they focus on how things are done. They come to believe truth as they think it through.
Hebrew: Hebrews see the ultimate in truth as religious and experiential. When looking at Scripture, they focus on what was done and who did it. They come to believe truth as they experience it.

(User Info | Send a Message) | | Yeah, this is good stuff. The Greeks were responsible for our ability to do science, but the Hebrews are responsible for our ability to do theology. The worldviews are actually complementary, as long as they each do what they're intended to do and stop trying to sack the other guy's turf. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | In the recent past I have spent several years in Hebrews roots movements (not messianic -there is a difference). Much of the time it leads right into legalism, specifically Sabbath keeping, clean and unclean foods, the annual Holidays, and for many, the “613” (where applicable).
[Now I want to qualify my statement- I still attend Sabbath keeping congregations, and I still attend the “feast of the OT”; but I do it for tradition sake, not covenantal sake]
Extreme examples:

(for you sports fans, read the Baal article. I bet you didn’t know that watching the college basketball playoffs this weekend was/is participating in baal worship!)

Anyways, there is some good and intresting material historically speaking, but most want to go back into bondage.
Be Well All,
Chef Tony

(User Info | Send a Message) | Let's note assume that there are different "truths" between the east and the west. Man was made in the image of God, and thus, we "think" the same. Note what the website says, "Greek thinkers express truth..." and "westerners express truth..." The WAYS in which they express truth are different, but the LOGIC through which they express them is the same. If it were not, then we could not KNOW (knowledge) what the pictures meant.
