An Assignment For Biblical Worldview

The topic of the image of God is one essential to every human being because it will shape the way in which each individual will look at his or her life. A part of every human’s life is his or her vocation, which will also be changed by the view he or she holds about the image of God. The image of God is the footprint that God left in humans and in no other being in His creation, and it must shape the way in which everyone will look at his or her job.

“It was summertime, and the park’s grass was very green and the air suffused with honeysuckle and lilacs both, which was almost too much” Although springtime and the park they sat at created a peaceful picture, what Lane A. Dean and Sheri were feeling internally was heavy and emotional. For Lane, his internal feelings were a bit deeper and secretive. Not only did he have his unborn baby in mind he was also questioning his feelings toward his girlfriend, as well as his faith. “He rarely before now had thought of damnation and Hell…and in worship services he more just turned himself out and tolerated Hell when it came up, the same way you tolerate the job you’ve got to have to save up for what it is you want” These thoughts about Hell was a starting point for Lane when he begins to question his own faith. Unlike Sheri, this situation made Lane question how much he actually cared for his religion. He also

Today, in modern day living, people are talking about either of the two worldviews, and the importance of that chosen worldview. However, one can choose to live by the principles of a secular worldview or a biblical worldview. This study highlights the distinguishable difference between a secular worldview and a biblical worldview, the incorporation of belief and doctrine, and the theories of vocations and the efforts for living righteously.

God asking why? She said, “And I know we are not going to understand, or like what happens in

Award-winning journalist, Lee Strobel wrote The Case for Christ to retrace and enlarge his journey toward becoming a Christian. Strobel once atheist, and now Christian, shares how he began to look upon the Bible and God. As an atheist, Strobel lived the life of selfishness and only worried to please himself. When his wife began to go to church he wasn’t very pleased until after he saw the positive and attractive change in her. This is the start of his curiosity and investigation about Christianity. He wanted to understand what changed her like this. He wanted to relate with his wife so he decided to study about this and attend church services with her. Strobel began his journey and interviewed thirteen leading scholars who defended their views concerning the historical reliability of the New Testament. Strobel splits the case for Christ into three basic sections: Examining the Record, Analyzing Jesus, and Researching the Resurrection.

Everyone has a Worldview. “A collection of beliefs about life and the universe held by an individual or a group.” (1) Some have a Biblical Worldview. A Biblical Worldview is founded on the word of God. It is how a Christian views the world. Both belief systems are equally important to each individual, but there are differences in the way they view the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture.

The battle between the relationship of science and religion has always been a controversial topic in society. It has been a subject of study since the classical era from scientists, theologists, philosophers, and regular citizens. It is understandable that the perspective on culture and religion are unquestionably varied due to different geographical regions, but why are there so many heated debates regarding the global discussion and what is it that causes those controversies? Is it possible that there is more than two outlooks and theories? Jerome Lawrence and Robert E.Lee contrasts the two perspectives in Inherit the Wind by bringing back an historical and legendary trial. Matthew Harrison Brady, an established lawyer in America demonstrates his ideology in God. Addition to Mr. Brady, his arch nemesis, Henry Drummond, defends his morals by expressing his vision that evolution is where human come from.

The setting is in a southern town.It implies loneliness in the need of redemption because of the violence and grotesque characters.It shows us how the town is full of people who dont care and have no respect. At the end of the day they end up dying alone just like when one is born. One comes to the world alone and leaves alone or ends up being alone because of our actions. Flannery O Conner shows us how society is corrupt and everyone commits errors and has imperfections.When one sees their errors and faces them they tend to find redemption. He obviously does believe because or else he wouldn’t make his own god or church for people to follow. In Wise Blood he tells us “He was going to be a preacher like his grandfather and a preacher can always do without a foot”. Coming back from war, it gave him a different understanding about religion and end up in the wrong path. He tells us since there’s no god there’s no such thing as sins. That is just making himself feel relieved about not getting punished. When he meets Asa Hawks, who lies to him about being religious. He understands how no one really is committed to

Christian spirit supported Eva calmly face death, and death to find her own that sacred place and the holy land. The departure of Eva, its essence is the meaning of death in Stowe's vision, highlights the strong Stowe of profound criticism distorted social values.

And so, as a conclusive demonstration, Drummond places the Bible and Darwin side-by-side, a symbol of the internal search for truth. His half-shrug and half-smile signal an acceptance of his own ignorance (Lawrence and Lee 2.2.79). Through Drummond’s actions, Inherit the Wind proves that a skeptical nature is far more valuable than mere

Journalist Lee Strobel leans back to read in his creaky, wooden chair. His desk at the Chicago Tribune is adorned with writing awards. One reads “UPI’s Top Award for Investigative Reporting in Illinois- Lee Strobel” Strobel’s life is based solely upon logic, and proven fact (Williams). He claims to be an Atheist, and is bemused why his wife converted to Christianity. Lee’s life story will guide us as we discover the truth of Christianity. Although many will mock you for believing that God exists, I have a few factual reasons for my faith.

Biology professor Kenneth Miller’s central argument is that science should not undermine one’s faith in God. “Science itself does not contradict the hypothesis of God.” He makes this argument by stating that science explains the things that God has made and in doing so, trying to prove the existence of God through natural or scientific means does not make sense. Once the supernatural is introduced, there is no way to use nature, thus science, to prove or disprove its existence. Miller argues that science gives us the window to the dynamic and creative universe that increases our appreciation of God’s work. The central point of his argument is evolution. Creationists, of the intelligent design movement, argue that nature has irreducible complex systems that could have only arisen from a creature or designer. This theory is widely supported among devout believers in the Bible and God. Miller argues that if they truly believe this, completely ignoring hard facts and theories, then they are seeking their God in the darkness. Miller, a Christian himself, believes that this “flow of logic is depressing”; to fear the acquisition of knowledge and suggest that the creator dwells in the shadows of science and understanding is taking us back to the Middle Ages, where people used God as an explanation for something they have yet to or want

ABSTRACT: Curiously, in the late twentieth century, even agnostic cosmologists like Stephen Hawking—who is often compared with Einstein—pose metascientific questions concerning a Creator and the cosmos, which science per se is unable to answer. Modern science of the brain, e.g. Roger Penrose's Shadows of the Mind (1994), is only beginning to explore the relationship between the brain and the mind-the physiological and the epistemic. Galileo thought that God's two books-Nature and the Word-cannot be in conflict, since both have a common author: God. This entails, inter alia, that science and faith are to two roads to the Creator-God. David Granby recalls that once upon a time,
