We as humans like to question whether God exist or not because, humans like to know anything and everything. In the Christian religion, there are many different types of denominations and the one that will be acknowledged is The Disciple of Christ. When we learn about God its mostly of how we praise him and how to pray to him. These five worldviews that are chosen to help show how The Disciples of Christ denomination see the world Christianity and that is with The Concepts of God, World and Humanity, Worship, Humanity’s problem and solution, and The Afterlife. The Christian religion is sort of complex because there are so many other denominations they may think differently than my denomination of Christianity. Nevertheless, we follow …show more content…
Jesus is the Son of God, and God is a spirit of some sort that knows all and sees all.
In the bible, it is said that God made the heavens and the earth, but that humanity flourished from Adam and Eve. It is said Eve was made from Adams rib, but for him to have someone so Adam was not lonely. Then it’s said God makes everyone in his own image and that we are made from sand. Humanity relates to the world because, without humans, there would be nobody here to pass on the thoughts of God. No one would know he (God) exists because he wouldn’t have had a son to show and follow his word, guide his commands through to the people. Humanity and the world are needed together if not there would be no knowledge of the Christian religion or of “God”. Humanities purpose is sort of complex because there are so many reasons and ideas that people have of too why we are here, but the bibles tells us that the sole purpose of human existence is to get married and make children, worship God, follow his word, never question him, stay away from evil things such as: adultery, killing people. The purpose of human existence, has changed from what God wanted it to be and people hardly follow his commands anymore humans do what they want to do. As far as life on other planets are concerned, there are no other life forms beyond this world that we know of that’s why in today’s time we have sent people and rovers to other planets to see if there are other life forms other
The purpose of the Christian worldview is to guide one how God wanted us to live our lives. It starts from the very beginning of creation to the world we currently live in today. Christians have faith in Christ. Christians truth about God is believed to be “First, God created the world good indeed, the creation, especially man who is its crown, actually manifests God’s goodness and that all creation is fallen through original sin” (Echeyerria, 2007). This is what makes prophecy an integral part of Christianity.
Personally Jesus is many things to me and means many things to me. First and for most he is gods son and is the best example of who God is and calls us to be, he was blameless and pure; to put it simpler, he was perfect. His time of teaching on earth was short but was not short of being a huge impact. Through teaching, praying and leading, Jesus was purely god in the flesh, a man with the same temptations and longings that we as humans have. There are many questions that are hard to answer about what Jesus meant by this or why he did that, but what he desires is a heart that is open to his use and a heart that seeks after in everything that we do.
The first foundational aspect of the worldview is who God is. The Christian’s worldview of who God is that God is part of the Trinity. The Trinity is made up of three persons: The Father, the Son (who is fully God and man), and the Holy Spirit, but they are all one God (Diffey, 2014). Existence is possible because of God. God, “created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1, English Standard Version). God created the world and is still actively involved in it because, “If God’s creative activity is needed to account for the first existence of the world, there is every reason to think that it would be needed to account for the world’s persistence” (McCann, 2012, p. 24). God did not create the world and leave it because, “God’s act of creation is an act of the purest sort” (Dodds & Dodds, 2011, p. 210). God’s love goes hand in hand with God’s wisdom. Wisdom is a
Hebrews 1:2-3 says, “But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven” (NIV). In an article in The Christian Crier, author Jack Wellman gives a great description of Jesus.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of the Virgin Mary. Jesus lived a humble life, spreading the word of the Lord, and died by crucifixion for the sins of all of humanity. “Jesus is referred to as Savior.
My mind started to roam on the possibility that God or a higher being created the universe. Mostly, I am an open-minded person and after reading about the creation story, my mind was thinking about all different types of scenarios relating to the story. When God finished his creation, “And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good” (The Bible). My thoughts viewed God as more than just a creator but someone who’s first intention was to create good. Which brings me to my thoughts on humanity. I think humanity is naturally curious and selfish. Humanity is a race that beholds these characteristics similarly to the selfish and curious act of Adam and Eve. My thoughts have always been the same and reading about the creation story has farther proved my point. On the other hand, I have always thought the point of humanity was to have a purpose on earth. After reading about how God created humans to be responsible for the care of earth, I had to agree with his intentions. I do believe all humans have a certain purpose on earth whether that be a good or bad purpose. God’s intentions follow a similar light to my thoughts. I do think it is a responsibility for us to care for the earth, we live here and we should all take care of it. Humanity was not put here to use all the resources the earth gives us to not care for it back. Overall, reading the creation story has given me conflicting thought about my
One of the first major points that describes who Jesus Christ is how he displays the “…image of the invisible God…” however, he is God but in human form being Christ. He reflects the nature of his father, God. His son, Jesus, is the image of God. He is “… the firstborn of all creation” meaning that
Jesus is the savior. He is the one who gave up his life to forgive the sins of all humankind and to give all of us a second chance at life. Jesus is God's son, sent by God to die to save us all because God loves us and wants to give us all second chances. Growing up in a Christian home, I was taught from a young age to thank Jesus because he sacrificed himself for me and everyone I know so that we can go to Heaven. As a young child, knowing that the result of following Jesus was going to Heaven, it made it ten times easier to truly
One of the most argued world view issues is the one concerning the question is there a god? Many would say that we are our own God. And we are here to do as we please.
Jesus of Nazareth is believed by Christians to be one of the Holy Trinity, defined as being comprised of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. As such, Jesus as the Son, is regarded as
To start off, I will say a very simple fact, Jesus is everything and everyone. Jesus is all that is around us. When I say this I mean that Jesus is the reason we are where we are, He made everything possible for us and we don’t understand that. Jesus is a symbol of strength, Saving grace, human weakness, hope, life, love, understanding, knowledge, wisdom and almost any other intangible definition of humanity that we could think of. The reason I say this is because Jesus of scripture was everything good in the world and also he highlighted humanity as we are. Jesus in scripture is shown in every situation and can be applied to our world as a symbol. He is in all that is good and also in any situation that is bad. I don’t mean bad as in he is the creator of evil because that would be a complete religious contradiction. I mean that Jesus is the hope in any bad situation. He is what makes evil turn out good. Jesus makes anything bad become understandable through all that He means.
This claim has influenced many people’s lives’. Millions and millions of people believe in one or multiple Gods. According to npr.org there are 2.2 billion people in this world that identify as a Christian. This means these people do believe there is a God. According to World bank, there are 7.4 billion people total. Using simple math, it is easy to tell there’s 5.2 billion human beings that do not identify our God as their savior. There are speculated consequences for each side of this.
According to the Christian faith, Jesus Christ is the second person in the trinity of God. He is God in human form, the Son. He is God in the flesh. He is known as the God-man. He was fully human, yet fully God. (Theology for Today, Towns, 155) He experienced all of the trials, temptation, pain, suffering of being confined to a human body. Even so, Jesus was God almighty. By the word of His mouth he could perform miracles never seen before. There were
In the view of His deity, Christ is God. Not only is he Christ, but the Son of God, and called God in the New Testament.
• Jesus is the son of God, he is God in the flesh, he came into this world for two purposes, to teach us how to live on earth and because God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, Jesus. Jesus died on cross for our sins, and is sitting at God’s right hand today.
