Actually, the New Testament makes use of Greek philosophy. It's really cool. Jesus is called "the Word" over and over. This makes absolutely no sense in English. People that try to make sense of it without understanding the Greek philosophers are dumb. Jesus is called Logos, which does mean "word", but it also means "reason", "logic", "argument", etc, and has that connotation. More importantly, Heraclitus wrote massive tomes on what he called "Logos". John is totally using Heraclitus to explain his religion. According to Heraclitus, Logos is divine, eternal, created order from chaos, connects to human beings, unifies, and adherence to the Logos naturally promotes peace and civilization, and a whole bunch of Jesus similarities. Even more, Justin Martyr (early 2nd century) wrote about how Heraclitus and Socrates were Christians before Christianity!
Guys at the beginning of Christianity would absolutely agree with you. Those Greek philosophers were the best. I have no idea why Christianity has abandoned the Greeks that were so highly esteemed by the forerunners. It's a shame.
