A Reflection On Socrates And The Bible

I recall that Socrates looked down on lovers of sights and sounds.  I also recall that the bible says not to trust what your eyes can see.

This is what google has to say about it:

Lovers of sights and sounds is Socrates's term for the pseudo-intellectuals who claim to have expertise regarding all that is beautiful, but who fail to recognize that there is such a thing as the Form of the Beautiful, which causes all beauty in the visible realm.

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal". -(2 Corinthians 4:18)
