Biblical Worldview Summary

In the beginning there was nothing. The world at first was an endless space and the earth was unfinished. This is how many creation stories begin. The creation of the world is something many try to decipher. People create myths and legends about the first days of the vast universe and anything that pertains it. It is fascinating how the human mind can come up with many ideas of the birth of the world. In the story of The World on a Turtle’s Back there is mention that in the beginning there was no world, or land; but there was a great ocean and above it a great void of air. That void of air was the Sky World where the story commences. Then there is The Four Creations and The Tohono O'odham Creation Story. All three of these have their similarities and the differences on how the world was built. Each of these stories have a representation of a creator and the way humankind was born.

What does it mean to have a worldview? A worldview is a set of beliefs about our perception of reality that influence our thoughts, morals, and actions. It can be anything from the lessons we learned from our parents and grandparents to our stance on economic policies. Now, what does it mean to have a biblical worldview? A biblical worldview is the lens we use to trust the word of God and how we apply it to everyday life. Our worldview is something we deem true and valuable. Hence, by applying God 's all-knowing truth and wisdom, we allow it to be the groundwork of everything we think, say, and do.

In The Navajo Creation Story Diné Bahane writes that the Gods visited for four days straight and that, the Black Body stayed on the fourth day to explain to the insect people that the Holy People were not happy with them and they did not understand them. He also explained to the insect people that they were to be recreated more in the image of the Holy People. On the twelfth day after the inspect people were clean the Holy People returned bringing with them a sacred buckskin and two ears of corn, one white and one yellow and from a ceremony performed by the Holy People the first man and the first woman were born. In contrast to Diné Bahane Navajo Creation, the Bible states that God alone created the heavens, the earth, and mankind. God

The actual account of biblical creation of the earth is noted in Genesis 1. The Bible tells its readers that the world was created in six days, and on the seventh day, God rested from his work because it was good. Within those six days, God created light and dark, sky, land, the galaxy, the sea and flying creatures, and finally land animals and man. In Popol Vuh, the Maker is a supreme god like being who is noted to be the “mother-father of life, of humankind, giver of breath, [and] giver of heart” (cite). The narrative of Popol Vuh, begins with a sense of familiarity as its first sentence reads “This is the beginning of the Ancient Word, here in this place called Quiché” (cite). The idea of beginnings and blank slates is also apparent in

In Hesiod’s didactic poem, Works and Days, the reader is introduced to the story of Pandora and the Jar. Written in around 700 BCE, this work shows how disobeying the gods may lead to a series of unfortunate events, while also providing modern society a sample on how ancient civilizations attempted to explain why events come to pass much like how Christianity describes the begging of the world and how disobeying God leads to negative events. Both these works give the people something to believe in. Pandora and the Jar can be seen as Ancient Greece’s version of the Bible’s Genesis.

A Worldview is a presuppositions of assumptions which may be true, partially true, or entirely false, which we hold consciously or subconsciously consistently or inconsistent about the basic make-up of our world (Sire, 2009). A worldview is our underlying philosophy of life (Hemphill, 2013).

“In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth.” Following up the debates about God is the Genesis debate. The Genesis debate could be one of the most controversial of all. It discusses how old the earth is and whether a day means a literal 24-hour day or not. The two largest views are the Young Earth View and the Day-Age View. The bible suggests that the earth is a Young Earth and that it was created in literal 24-hours days. But some people believe that the earth was slowly created over thousands of years. If the bible indicates that it is a young earth, humanity doesn’t have the option to believe that it is old. God is the Word, therefore what is read in the bible should be true, with some exceptions when something is not supposed to be taken

A biblical worldview will effect everything I do in my life. One of the most important things is the way we treat and interact with others. It start with the way we think about others, if we know them or not we should see them through the eye of compassion. We must be careful not to judge people because of what we know or don 't know about them. How you speak and treat them will determine if you will ever be able to help them or not. You may have the right message for them but without the right method of love and compassion they may never receive it. When it come to politics and voting in elections your worldview will be what helps make these decisions for you. Using your morals and beliefs formed by your worldview will ensure you can vote with

Our worldview is the lens that we make sense of life and should be intentional as we adopt a philosophy of life that is informed by something greater than ourselves as Christ should be our example, according to 1 Peter 2:21 “for [as a believer] you have been called for this purpose, since Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you may follow in His footsteps” (Amplified Version). For this reason, our moral compass when based on a biblical worldview should influence how we approach making decisions as it pertains to business ethics (Porter,2013).

Native Americans believed that a woman was the first person on Earth and the first deity because she got dropped on water and upon her arrival she made the land/Earth. As described in Native American Creation Myth a “woman or goddess gradually descended from heaven, even into the water”. This shows that water was created before land. According to the Native American Creation Myth, she also created vegetation and even “fruitful and unfruitful trees began to grow.” Native Americans felt that they must respect the Earth and can not own the Earth.

On October 9, 2014, nineteen year old Alan J. Hruby murdered his parents and sister in his own home. Investigators say that he committed this crime to become the “sole heir to [his] family’s money” (Keeping). Alan’s extreme desires overshadowed everything else in his life, including his own family’s well being. Although this example is extreme, greed is prevalent as a motivating factor in many other parts of life. People exhibiting greed will usually show a complete disregard to anything except their own desires. This selfish behavior is also present in The Crucible. Specifically, the characters Thomas Putnam, Abigail, and Parris, show an intense desire for land, love, and power respectively. In the Puritan society that these characters live

Christianity explains salvation as redemption by God’s grace through faith from unrighteousness and sins to Cleanliness, also known as Salvation. The Bible explores salvation in different perspectives including reconciliation, redemption, ransom, forgiveness, and justification. Even though the Bible is a unitary book, the new and the old testaments present salvation in different aspects. However, the different aspects are complementary. In fact, the Old Testament presents many prophesies about salvation that was fulfilled in the New Testament (Kärkkäinen 87).
