Worldview: ten Commandments and God

Yvette Gross 11/9/2012 Apol 104-D11LUO As per the definition put up in the dictionary to define Worldview, it is as follows. The oer entirely perspective from which oneness sees and interprets the world. A collection of beliefs about behavior and the universe held by somebody or a group. This acts the theory which I use to understand, perceive this world. It helps me to mold according to the norm. Therefore, I fit nicely in with the status quo and non ruffle all feathers. Or so they look at. PART 2 The scriptural/ Christian worldview of Origin, Identity, Purpose, Morality, and Destiny. 1. The school principal of origin-Where do we come from? How did we come into costence? Christian believes that divinity fudge created earth, the promised lands and everything in it out of his own will. Christian believe that mankind was created by the one and only sovereign theology (Genesis 127). The bible states that the process in which theology created Adam and Eve (Genesis 27-8, 23). Adam was created from the dust off the ground and Eve from Adam. God who do the world and all things in it, since he is master copy of heaven and earth (Acts 1724-25). Therefore, we all atomic number 18 created by God. 2. The question of Identity-Who am I? What does it mean to be a human? Are humans to a grander extent important than animals? Christians worldview teaches that God created man (Genesis127). We were created in Gods own image. We were given responsibility over the earth and rulers over animals (Genesis 126-28). Since we were created in Gods image, we are separate from animals and are given the right over animals (Genesis 128). We were known to God forrader our births. 3. The question of meaning/ Purpose- Why do I exist? The victor purpose of the first mans creation was when Adam rebelled against God. men and women discovered themselves to exist in order to know God, to do his will, to promulgate him, and to enjoy him forever (1 Corinthians 1312). Why do I exist? We are here because God created men and women to inhabit it (Genesis 126-28 27). Also, our purpose is to know Christ, to allow him access to our lives, and to develop a in-person relationship with him (John 173). We are to love other Christian believers. 4. The question of Morality- What is meant by right and wrong? and How should I live? The basis in which we differentiate between right and wrong is our knowledge of Gods law. This knowledge comes from two sources manifestation and conscience. The bible says that God wrote his law on our hearts (Romatns 215). This is conscience.God gave a commandment to Adam and Eve in the garden. He gave ten commandments down to two essential commandments- love God and love your neighbor (Exodus 20). completely of these represent Gods revelation of his law. 5. The question of Destiny- Is at that place life after death What will decease to me when I die? Christians believe in two eternal states for all human beings Heaven or Hell. Heaven and Hell are two eternally places where people exit in the presence and blessing of God in Heaven (Revelation 21) or in a state of separation from God, being punished in Hell( Revelation 20 11-15) (weirder and Gutierrez pg65).A new heaven and a new earth will come. But the day of the lord will come as a thief in the dark , in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat both the earth and the whole kit that are in it will be burned up (Peter 2 310). Our salvation is a gift to any of us who wants to give birth it. Part 3- How might/ should biblical worldview influence the way? A study worldview of mine is to do unto others as you would like done unto you. This is an important means which I am cognitive of most days. Therefore, when addressing others it is important that I take aim my words wisely.There are times it may be difficult and I need to be on a time out, however, this too shall pass. All humans are to be tre ated with prise, dignity without regard to their spiritual convictions, race or creed, and their social status. In the political/voting arena, my filling for any particular fecesdidate is, does he/she represent me? Do they represent my views? willing their worldview blend or shatter mine? Shall my family, friends and loved ones be represented as well? Furthermore, shall this candidates worldviews affect my life in a positive or negative manner?If any of these questions are received as Nay, then my support is withdrawn. An aunt of mine warns me to turn off the water faucets. It is a bad habit of mine to let the water flow freely as I do other things in the kitchen or house. She further warns that this is wasting water and goes on to explain drought. to me. Her warnings have awakened a new concern for the milieu my children and I live in. No longer does the water flow freely. I am becoming aware of my carbon footprint being left(a) on this earth. Therefore, lights are turned off, no littering or polluting our waters.The aerosol can has become an enemy within my household for it is weakening our ozone layers. A future career will be established in the same stain as my choice of political candidates. How will it affect my livelihood? Is there a pension attached. How will my medical needs be met? Will they respect my choice of religions and give me the religious holidays off? The main verifiable here is, Do not ruffle my feathers. Meaning, do not tempo on how I view the world. Do not insist I adopt your belief system that does not agree with mine. However, I shall respect your worldview.
