Page 3 of 3 And more ever, 2 Corinthian 10: 5, said that the Christian must build a good, thinking and to oppose the falley thinking. With out mastering the philosophy, this contradictory impossible can be conducted. Again, according to Colossians 2: 8, the Christian is not intribited to use the philosophy, but there is inhibited or must be avoided the empty philosophy (Gnostics). Therefore, in order that Christian know a empty philosophy, he or she must understand philosophy is they have no understood the philosophy. For the philosophers, theology – philosophy thinking frame can bridges their ritous understanding on religion. For example, karl max, he said that religion is opiate, duz to he has seen the rituals that conducted has change to bees me a toal for nusthetization of self, more great Augusta comte, he pointed out that rituals of religion is not able to function for improvement the life of human being and then, ultimately he proposed to build one new religion, the religion has more noble the humankind, that is the religion of humanity. It is not surprised when Montaigne said, “creature is whose call ed humankind may be mad. A man is impossible to created a worm what ever, but the man always created dozen god”.[5] Similar to Nietzshe, he seated that modern philosophy (skepticism epistemology) is anti Christian, it is pointed out because assumption that he religion has changed it is not a means. As a result, religion has been used by the leaders of religion as an authority tool, as a tool to ensure for comfortable them self,[6] as such, the religion has distort from the original aim, that is as a means the guide and educate for the human being who held a religion, in order to life better and have the moral.
[1] There is three main theories about the truth. First, theory of correspondence, in which the truth would be received because the existence of relation between a conviction and facts. Second, theory of coherency in under Hegel influence. This theory explained that the truth would be determined by a relation between the assessments itself; third, theory of pragmatics, in which the truth would be determined by the benefit or useful a thing (A.C. Ewing, Persoalan-persoalan Mendasar Filsafat, Yogyakarta, Pustaka Pelajar, 2003). However, the truth, which intended here, is most different from the three theories above.this truth is a truth that is determined on based of what the God proved, both through the holy inspiration especially (Bible + Jesus Christ) or the general revelation (universe). The truth is not relative or subjective. But the truth is an absolutely, similar to the mathematic truth. In which 3 + 4 = 7, it cannot be changed to be 8, although in the based on the common agreement of the all people that they are in this would. Caused the truth of mathematic is the truth of God that His placed in this universe; in which the man could not be able to change with the based on the agreement only. Similar such as the truth by the God that Isaac Newton discovered, “any thing that is throw up, certain, it will fall down”. (Rule of Gravity). It is impossible that an object that throw up, fall up. But it is certainty the object will fall down. This is an absolute truth. The truth that is not based on value and conviction, but it is based on the decision by God that humankind can be known through a searching an tracking or research of humankind on His holy inspiration. Whether through the general universe or the specific holy inspirations.

[4] Descartes pointed out in his book about, discourse on method and related writings in the part of law to guide the intelligence someone to search the truth, Pointe out that a method must be required in order to looking for the truth o bout things. That is why in this writing is used the method of theology – philosophy. Due to assumption that method must be most required in reasoning, cause the method is a measurement to al for the thrut if the method is wrong, the result, that will be reached, also will be wrong.
