Aristotle and Ministry

This is a post which was originally so "hot" that I took it down. When my first philosophy paper was published in 2013, I was surprised by the reaction. People said I was quoting ancient Greeks (Aristotle) rather than Scripture. I was spending ministry time on philosophy. And if I was that good at philosophy, why was I in ministry? Besides, it was all very simple. Anyone could have written that. Not least, I was elevating myself above Aristotle by purporting to interpret him. Some people found such comments very funny. I didn't see the joke at the time. I said thanks to God that I had accomplished that.
