How much of Christianity is influenced by Plato/Aristotle?

I’ve recently been looking into Aquinas and from there Plato/Aristotle, and there seems to be quite a large overlap of these philosophical thoughts and Christianity. The history of the church also shows great wholesale adoption of the ideas of Plato and Aristotle so much so that we’ve almost identified the God of the philosophers as YHWH.

What are some concerns and risks here if any or are these two compatible ways of understanding God?

Korean Restaurants — are you getting a bunch of banchan or have you noticed there’s barely any?

I used to get 5-6 banchan before the meal at every Korean spot but now I feel lucky if they serve kimchi. Is this just me or everyone?

Thoughts on Ibn Sina?

Hi All, I am currently looking into the thoughts and theology of Ibn Sina. I would like to know how Islamic scholars view his thoughts, especially his engagement with Aristotelian metaphysics. Is he considered influential in modern Islamic thought or are his ideas relegated to the medieval period? Thank you.

“There is but one only living and true God,who is infinite in being and perfection, a most pure spirit, invisible, without body, parts, or passions, immutable, immense, eternal, incomprehensible.”

Do you affirm the statement above that God is not composed of parts?

This would mean you deny a social trinitarian model for the older divine simplicity model of understanding God ontologically.
