As Christians, we should be lights for Christ and show His love through us. We often forget how many people can look up to us so we should watch how we live our lives. We are called to be set apart and not conformed to the world. Lies and deception are major sins in our world today. No one can trust each other or keep their word. They lie to others and break their promises. Christians should not live as promise breakers but promise keepers! Jesus is our perfect example as a promise keeper. He always keeps his promises and never deceives us. He promised eternal life to those who believe and accept him and eternal life they shall receive! We should keep the promises of others and gain their trust. Jephthah kept his vow for "a vow was a solemn

Religion 120 has taught me something more than just the meaning of religion. I would argue that I will be taking away more knowledge from this class than any other class I have taken so far in my college career. The learning path Professor Robert takes has benefited me throughout the semester. The learning path I took persuaded me to open my mind and absorb and understand the ideas of other individuals. After I opened my mind up and read all of the content we were assigned in class, along with listened to my classmates and professor Robert’s take on religion, I was able to picture religion as something other than just the physical place of worship and discussions taken place there. When most individuals think of religion they think about going to church and not much else. Religion is so much more than just the physical place and the individuals leading the practice. Religion has the potential to help guide you in life, along with giving you a sense of meaning in this big world. Religion has the power to help you connect with individuals like yourself,
How did the earth and everything on it come into existence? This is a question, that for the Christian worldview is answered by the Bible, in Chapters 1 and 2 of Genesis. The Bible makes clear to it’s readers that God existed before anything else. The creation account in Genesis 1 splits creation into 6 days and a 7th day of rest. The first day God created the earth and Heaven as well as day and night. The second day God separated the earth from heaven to create the sky. On the third day God separated the waters on earth so there would be dry land. He created plants and trees that could bear fruit and seeds. God made theses plants so that they would be able to keep growing from the seeds that fell from them. On the fourth day God created the
My name is Asia Harvey. I am eighteen years old. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I am a freshman in college majoring in communications. Worldview to me means how everyone in the world interprets reality. I believe everyone has a worldview and it is influenced by our ethics, morals, and family values. It can also be influenced by what we hear, what we read, what we see or who we associate with. Worldview is mostly influenced by religion and science even though, a worldview can and do change. I believe the Christian worldview deals with the belief in the Bible. It leads me to believe that God created the universe in six days and on the last day he rested and that I am God's creation put on earth to fellowship with him and govern
When it comes to living out the beliefs of the Christian worldview, the way to do so is by attempting to emulate the behaviors that Jesus displayed during his limited time on earth. This is because as Christians we are expected to live a life that mirrors his since Jesus lived a sinless life and had a perfect relationship with the Father. Trying to emulate the behavior of Christ and by virtue living out the virtues of life is based upon the examples left within the Bible. In the Bible, Christ showed how his followers were to live out his teachings in their everyday lives despite the persecution that they would face from others. Instances of this include when he told Peter not to fight the guards, when he spoke of turning one's cheek, and when
In Rhetoric, it is very easy to manipulate someone, but if someone can learn to use these rhetorical tools to push a point, but not manipulate them, then it is moral. There is a fine line between rhetoric and truth. The question is, should we strive to be on that line or stay away from it? Rhetoric could be for truth, trying to push Christianity, while truth is always moral and never for evil. Rhetoric is the art of using words skillfully in speaking or writing.
A worldview is one’s presuppositions and values that a person tries to use to understand the world around them. A presupposition affects how we believe and reflect on how we view Politics, Science, and our ethics. A Christian world view helps us to interpret God, Jesus, ideas, beliefs, convictions, and our habits of the world. The cool thing is that everyone has a worldview whether they think it or not there isn’t such a think as “worldview neutral” because believing in not worldview is a worldview. God says in Matthew 12:30 “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters” and in Luke 9:50 “Do not stop him, for whoever is not against you is for you” so being for God is follow his holy world the bible. So, when we read the bible it says, “That everything you do in the name of Lord Jesus, Giving thanks to God The Father through him”.
How are “schemas” in keeping with a Christian Worldview and how will you use this understanding when treating clients?
The first and most important theme in a Christian worldview is believing in the one true God. The creator of all things in the universe.
A Christian worldview is a theistic worldview in which it is believed everything that exists in because of God. Everything as we know it was created by God himself. Right off the bat the bible says “In the Beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1 New American Standard Bible). The Bible says “God created man in his own image” (Gen 1:27), again showing God is the creator of everything, including humankind. In Rev.4:11, John gives glory to God for creating all things. God created everything, and it is through His will that we exist.
“As we evaluate the adequacy of competing worldviews, it soon becomes evident that not all of them give the same answers to life’s most profound questions.” (Wilkens & Sanford, 2009) A worldview is our perception or conception of the world around us and provides answers to questions like, “What part do I have to play in this world?” It is important to constantly evaluate and check your worldview to ensure that you are truly living to what you say you believe. During my examination of different worldviews and the comparison to the Christian worldview, I have come to realize how things like individualism, moral relativism, and even nationalism have come to play a part in my own worldview and I have learned the importance of constantly comparing
I believe each of us, as health professionals, have felt the calling on our lives to serve and help others. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” God has a perfect path set out for each of us. God is using my education to help improve the populations overall health as a tool to reach millions for his glory. “Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” Proverbs 16:3. I wholeheartedly believe that God is using me to love and help my community become healthier in both a physical and spiritual sense.
According to Dr. James Henderson, a Christian worldview is authentic Christianity is Christ-centered and biblically-based, which means focusing on God’s word. As Christians, we want to live our lives as a reflection of the Bible and the unfolding plan of God revealed in the unity of the Scriptures. We believe that God exists and that god is the standard by which we measure everything else.
For centuries, Christians have been debating if it is ever right to lie. Their arguments all deal with a Christian’s interpretation of what the Bible has to say about the issue. The ninth commandment asserts “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor” (ESV Ex. 20.17). This seems fairly straight-forward: a person should never lie. However, the Bible also tells stories of men and women, who are considered people of faith, who have lied. The debate emerges when the question is asked, “In these instances, were these people right to lie?” I believe that it is never permissible to lie except when someone doesn't deserve the truth or doesn't expect the truth.
In the views of the Christians, Jesus is the son of God who came to this world to pay for our sins, he was the one to fulfill the Old Testament laws and prophecies, the one that tragically died on the cross for us, and he was the one that rose from the dead when most doubted that he had such power. He performed many magnificent miracles which were written in the gospels by his very own eyewitnesses. He is said to be divine in nature but in essence is a human. Christianity teaches that there is only one God in all existence and that God made the universe, the Earth, and created both Adam and Eve. God created man in his very own image and this is what makes us special. God also gave us the god of free will. The sacred text of Christianity is
