Views of Scriptural and Historical Evidence

Everyone has a worldview, whether we know it or not. Worldview is the way a person makes sense of the world, life and reality. For example: I view the glass as half full, but you might view the glass as half empty. We both see the glass but we do not agree on how to view it. Our worldview is formed by our education, family beliefs, the culture we live in, and media we are exposed to. For many of us our surrounding culture influences our worldview and we have never had to think about why we believe what we believe and we wouldn’t be able to defend our beliefs to others.

The IMF oversees the exchange rate of currencies and encourages the free convertibility of any currency into another nation’s form of currency. A Biblical Worldview component should be added to the IMF for the purpose of instilling absolute truths to prevent cultural subjectivity and corruption. Having Biblical worldview added as a component provides an authority for absolute truth to be derived from. Absolute truth would be determined through the authority of God and His word. Having God as a standard for morality would help to prevent corruption arising from subjectivity determined by power-alliances and bribery.

Christians view the Question of Origin as God being the creator as stated in Genesis 1:1. He created mankind out of nothing.

A worldview is the overall structure that a human being can use to interpret the world and how it applies to their life individually. It is what people believe about the big questions in their lives; who are we, how did we get here, is God real and why are we here? In today’s modern world, there are many different views regarding the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture. This paper will focus on the worldview and implications of these topics based on the Bible, in particular, Romans 1-8, and how it still applies in today’s world.

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.

Christians form a worldview from many places, including on the internet, in the workplace, at school, from family members and friends, “these worldviews find their way behind the church doors” mixed in with Christian thoughts, and sometimes thought of as Christian beliefs (Wilkens & Sanford, 2009, pp.18). God’s word should be the only answer to a Godly worldview. Paul’s letter to the Christians in Rome disclose to the world, his views of the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture.

God, everyone has heard of this being, some believe in it while others don’t. Many people blindly follow or stay away from God and the holy book, but have no proof of god being real or fake. Non-believers say its fake and for people with desperate mindsets, others say the bible is there proof and that the word is god’s word. I myself am a man of religion who believes there’s a god, but my question is could the bible really be true?

When one has decided on a worldview, it will govern the life they lead and play into motives, morals, and actions. I have chosen a path in which I believe is not of human ideas but a holy, purposeful way to live. I am an evangelical Christian and I believe the Bible is God’s written Word and I base my entire life and the way I look at the world off of it. There are five categories that are unique to my Biblical worldview that shape the way I live. Metaphysics, Theology, Epistemology, Anthropology, and Ethics determine the different branches in my worldview and the assumptions I make. In my opinionated worldview, God exists and is at the center with everything else revolving around Him.

A worldview and Biblical worldview are similar to each other, however there are differences to each of them, that make them distinctive from one another. The true differences between the two views are: where is the perception coming from, various opinions and frame work that the perception is based off of.

The way a person decides to see the world and how they respond and act toward people, events and things as they happen around them is called their worldview. A worldview is established by our upbringing by parents, friends, teachers, media and religious education.

Looking back, we can see glimpses of the lives of those who lived in the Ancient Near East, known as the ANE, through their stories and myths that have survived over centuries of time. Many of these stories contain unique elements that make each one personal to the civilization that they belong to, but there are common themes and ideas that are virtually shared between the traditional stories stemming from this region of the world. In fact, these parallels even extend into Old Testament literature; laced within the stories that we’ve come to know and love. It is not surprising that the Old Testament contains similarities found within ANE tradition, seeing that

While it also legitimizes the state of Israel as a homeland for the Jewish people, Christian Zionism is rooted in Dispensationalist Theology and is not a secular movement like Herzl’s modern Zionism. Dispensationalist Theology is the belief that we are in the end of times, and that the messiah will be returning, but only if a Jewish state exists and if all Jews “return” to the Holy Land. John Nelson Darby interpreted the bible this way, and Cyrus Ingerson Scofiled spread this ideology in the 19th century with a Bible he created to spread these ideas. This specific Bible became the most studied Bible ever. One important component to Dispensationalist Theology is the teaching of the “Rapture.” The Rapture refers to a period of time before the Second Coming of the Messiah in which God will remove all his true believers from the earth, and all of their souls will rise into heaven. After the Rapture comes the “Abomination of Desolation.” This will be a violent period that will consist of “many wars, famine, and disease.” After the Abomination of Desolation, the Great Tribulation will take place. During this time period, Dispensationalists believe that the ant-Christ will take over the world. Dispensationalists believe that the anti-Christ will be incredibly popular throughout the world and that “those who oppose him will be ostracized from their societies.” Additionally, during the Great Tribulation, Dispensationalists believe that 144,000

With relevance to the notion of taking valid action, the Biblical Worldview can find a reflection in the ACIEVE model. One of the important principles with respect to such application is leading the whole process and setting the goals based on the values rather than on rules. Besides, the model encourages participation, which is also a crucial element of the Biblical worldview based on the statement that necessary is“not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock” (1 Peter 5:3). Hence, the equality of the participants of decision making would lead to the positive outcomes and

The New Testament and the Old Testament are similar in that they both speak of fulfillment for God’s

Throughout the decades the traditional belief of the author of the first five books in the Hebrew Bible is believed to be Moses. The Pentateuch is the first division of the Hebrew Bible which consists of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Contrary to traditional belief, it is thought that the Pentateuch is a conglomeration of early written documents. The Documentary Hypothesis explains the issues of how and why the Pentateuch was written. The Documentary Hypothesis presents four source documents the Yahwist document, the Elohist document, the Deuteronomist document, and the Priestly document as the basis of the first five books in the Hebrew Bible that would later form the Pentateuch as the world knows it today.
