Regarding the compability between philosophy and the Christian belief I would like to quote the Apostle Paul:
(Colossians 2:8) Look out: perhaps there may be someone who will carry you off as his prey through the philosophy and empty deception according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary things of the world and not according to Christ. . .
The Greek word phi·lo·so·phi′a means, literally, “love of wisdom.” In modern usage the term relates to human endeavors to understand and interpret through reason and speculation the whole of human experience, including the underlying causes and principles of reality.
However Paul was not opposed to knowledge, for he prayed that Christians be filled with it..
But, as he showed, one must appreciate the role of Jesus Christ in the outworking of God’s purpose in order to obtain true wisdom and accurate knowledge and were to look out lest perhaps someone with persuasive arguments carry them off as prey through a human or worldly way of thinking or outlook and not according to Christ.
