Christian Worldviews

438 Words2 Pages

We are given a mandate as Christians to “go into all the nations and preach the word… If we have a Christian worldview we should also have a heart to fulfil the mandate and spread God’s word to a hurt and dying world. We must use philosophical reasoning based on the Scriptures at all times not just with believers. I, for one, cannot separate my love of talking about and sharing God’s word/love into two categories, believers and non-believers. The believer already knows God’s word and therefore Christ’s mandate is obviously for us as believers to spread the word to non-believers. By having a Christian worldview we as believers have a unique methodology towards philosophy. This methodology is unique because we must have faith that the Bible is …show more content…

Science has changed its stance on ideas because mistakes are possible; history has been twisted to suit personal views; and traditions and experiences are not reliable sources for accurate information. The only final truth is God’s word expressed in the Bible and through personal revelation. God’s word is all truth. The Bible’s truths can be tested and verified through historical documentation. Christian beliefs are based on the inspired word of God through the Bible and through God’s revelation to his believers. We use these sources of information, apply a philosophical mindset and create our Christian worldview. Therefore, we are not asking the non-believer to accept our philosophy as truth by exposing them to blind faith. Instead we are showing them reasonable faith because God has shown himself faithful to reveal truth. Is it not true, that the lost, even without realizing it, are searching for the true meaning of life? When they begin to ask questions to find the answers, and if they are truly seeking the truth, they are lead eventually to the Bible and Jesus. The Bible answers the philological questions to life’s meaning far better than any other worldview. It is much more believable to believe in a God of order and a Creator than to believe in Darwin’s theory of spontaneous

    818 Words  | 4 Pages

    Throughout this book the author, Darrel R. Falk, argues from his personal journey as a professing evangelical Christian and biologist, that only science, and not scripture, can reveal the details of creation. In the first chapter, the author talks about how, when one is living with both science and religion; it is like trying to live in two worlds at once. Falk spoke about how he grew up in a church that taught a literal view of Genesis, but those in leadership were not equipped to answer his questions about contradictions between the Bible and the real world. For this reason, Faulk drifted away from Christianity towards a life studying biology. Eventually he

    A frequently used argument, especially by scientists who believe in god is that religion and science are two completely separate fields of knowledge and therefore there is no rising conflict between them. On the one hand, religion is about faith and provides a legit moral system for people to follow. Religion is about the spirituality of people and ethics. On the other hand, science is a system of empirical facts and data having to do with the understanding of the physical world. Stephen Jay Gould has advocated the non-overlapping magisteria theory according to which science and religion represent different nets of the same inquiry.

    As stated, God has created all of nature and thus His truth should be able to be found through it. Because of this, Christians should also understand that knowledge gained from nature can be true even if it is not outlined in the Bible. As a sinful people discerning God’s truth from nature, it is necessary for there to be a lot of wisdom and self-reflection on the Christian’s part. In understanding psychology and theology, we as Christians must first understand intellectual humility. Entwistle said this about intellectual humility, “Humility as an intellectual virtue involves our recognition of our intellectual abilities and liabilities.

  • Dominant Western Worldview

    The worldview that best explains this book is the Dominant Western Worldview (DWW). This view explains that humans dominate all other living organisms on the planet, and with that we hold the power and responsibility to control what our destiny is. Humanity is one of progress and for every problem, the world provides unlimited opportunities for humans to succeed (Buttel 470). This is proved to be true within the text of Silent Spring as human’s attempt to combat the insect infestations by using harmful chemicals. Throughout the text the consequences of these actions are learned.

    One’s beliefs and experiences influence most everything we do. This is no different when it comes to the type of research subject, type or method that interest us. Through out an academic career those that guide, and teach you inspire styles of writing, interests, schools of thought, philosophies, and many other things. Whether we are interested in finding out the number of people affected by a disease, or the social cause behind the spread of a disease, our initial interest in the subject allows us to be drawn to a specific type of research. Someone with a worthy mathematical background may be more inclined to hold a positivist worldview, and therefore find it more satisfying to perform a quantitative study.

    As instructors, I believe that we should guide and teach understanding of biblical views, and allow students to “help interpret” their own understanding of biblical views and how they can help shape their lives. I believe that if we have a “right understanding” of the bible we will ultimately bring that understanding to our students. By engaging students in conversation regarding what is being learned at any particular time, as instructors, we will have a better understanding of their points of view and be more equipped to helping them better understand biblical teachings. I believe that the secular world and what goes on around us can bring shadow over what we know and believe and doesn’t help us to help our students. We are instructed

    Sadly, countless Christians live life knowing what they believe, but not why. Why do they believe there is only one God? Why do they believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God? Many Infallible Proofs was written as a tool for believers to study the reason for the hope that is within them. Although the first edition was printed in 1974, Henry M. Morris and his son, Henry M. Morris III, revised and edited the book with the revised edition including topics that have surfaced and become prevalent since that time.

  • The Big Bang Theory: Similarities Between Science And Religion

    1172 Words  | 5 Pages

    When incorporating both science and religion to explain the physical, chemical, and biological origins, one must look at the origin of the cosmos, Earth history, the origin of life, and biodiversity. In doing so, one must maintain a balance between science and religion so that one does not supersede the other. Furthermore, by examining both sides, it will establish an answer that is mutually beneficial for both parties. Starting with the origin of the cosmos, Genesis 1:1 states that God created the universe, Earth, day, and night for nothing. While this story is accepted based on faith, science shows a similar event that resulted in the creation of the universe.

    Irene, I am confused that are you trying to apply Christian perspectives to explain Maslow’s theory or you want to prove that our Christian perspective can be parallel with Maslow’s theory. You also mention in your introduction that “Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs will be used as one example for generating thinking about how to apply a Christian perspective to a secular theory.” So, do you actually want to focus on listing out how to apply Christian perspective to secular theory? If your focus is definitely about Maslow’s theory, you may just focus on the discussion on the relationship between human needs and what the Bible says about humanity or our needs.

    Pope John Paul II affirmed evolutionary theory in his message to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, but rejected it for the human soul, which he saw as the result of a separate, special creation. The Church of England publicly endorsed evolutionary theory, including an apology to Charles Darwin for its initial rejection of his theory. For the past fifty years, science and religion has been de facto Western science and Christianity to what extent can Christian beliefs be brought in line with the results of western science? The field of science and religion has only recently turned to an examination of non-Christian traditions, such as Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam, providing a richer picture of interaction.
