Systems Of Learning

Three Systems

Of perception: rationalism, empiricism and faith.

Everything that you have ever learned, you have perceived

through either one of these systems or through a combination 

of the three. Rationalism relies solely on reason and sets up

the mine as the criterion for reality, totally apart from authority

or revelation. Empiricism claims that reality is apprehended 

from experience through the sensory system. Thus reality to 

you is what you smell, what you see, what your hear, what you

taste and touch or what you feel. The third system is Faith--

a non meritorious system of  perception or thinking. It is the

realm of faith which becomes the basic system of perception

for spiritual phenomena.

 

 Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, on those

who HOPE in His steadfast love.

Ps 33:18
