And why would Philo be so concerned about bridging the chasm between divine revelation and some man-made philosophy in the first place?

Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Heaven and Earth are God's creations and He has revealed to his people, for the purpose of their spiritual growth and for their praise of His glory, whatever they need to know about them. What did Plato reveal about heaven and earth that God didn't!?

It goes both ways, with Christians being a target of attacks more so than others in at least the last 10 years.
A lot of "warriors" are on this board, who defend the faith, in case you hadn't noticed lately.

"Warriors"? 
Will you please quit blowing smoke up Boxcar's ass? There is no "attacking of Christianity" going on here. All there is is Boxcar's intolerance of any religious belief other than his own.

And you forgot to mention all you skeptics' intolerance of the biblical gospel of Jesus Christ.

Contemplation or a practical path to understanding was the point you missed. You sound as simple minded as boxcar

Just thought it was odd how open they professed to be while talking about the place in the video, then you see crosses all over the place...seems a bit contradictory to me.
But thanks for the insult. As if that was needed. Did I insult you when I replied to you asking this question? No.
You're out of control.

Well...that might be a stretch. But certainly no worse than PA when he hurls gratuitous insults toward people he hates.

I don't hate you. Just feel sorry you cut yourself off from genuine feelings of empathy and compassion in the name of god knows what.

Not nearly as limited as the number of live brain cells wreathing in agony inside your skull.

Wreathing means to encircle. Rather recount your "writhing" brain cell as they are losing it counting chickens.
