Worldview Assignment Apol 104

According to the Bible, there is life after death. When people die, the body becomes separated from the spirit and the soul. It is the body that remains on earth while the spirit goes back to God (John 11:25). Here, depending on your deeds on earth, the spirit may be accepted into Gods kingdom (heaven) or it may be subjected to punishment through hellfire (Matthew 10:28). (625 words)

1. Galatians 6:10 “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith” (King James Version).

There are many different ways to completely define the term “Worldview”. To actually have a worldview it means that you have built a particular opinion of life. The opinions that have been created will help in the development of ideas or decisions as well as how the world around you is perceived. No two people will have the same worldview, most people live their lives. (Open Bible, 2015)

What is the role of a teacher? What is the role of a learner? How does a teacher in a classroom apply their faith, beliefs, and view of the world into their classroom? How does this worldview affect the outcome of the curriculum that is developed and taught to their students? This paper will explore these questions and how the ideas of world view and personal truth affects an educator’s development of curriculum as well as influence the role of the teacher, learner, society, and family.

A world view is the way that someone views the world; his or her particular perspective that is based on her religious, cultural, ideological beliefs that are, in turn, formed form a combination of societal and experiential factors. Religion, for instance, shapes the way that one sees and, in turn, communicates with others; shapes decision of the kind of spouse one will marry; shapes the decisions of one's job; and the way that one decides to educate one's children amongst many other factors. II. Part Two: Articulate the biblical/Christian Worldview (what is believed) for each of the following 5 questions. Give 2 relevant scripture references for each of the five questions below to support why it is believed. (300 words) 1. The Question of Origin

A worldview is easily described as the person’s perception of the world around them and is the framework for decision making. You can think of a worldview like a pair of glasses. When you look out of those glasses what do you see? Dr. Weider in his presentation gave an example; if your glasses are red then everything around you will be red. (Weider & Gotierrez, 2011) This is the same for worldview. Everyone has a worldview if they know it or not. It’s how we organize our thinking about life, death, art, science, faith, learning, work, money, values, and morals. (Weider & Gutierrez, 2011, p.50) Worldview is our underlying

Accordingly, “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain”. Daniel 12:2 tells us that the people sleeping in the earth shall wake not just the saved but the unsaved. There will be a resurrection of the just and the unjust and both will be judged. Dr. Charles Stanley posit, “you can stand on the beach with a title wave coming at you and say I don’t believe it’s coming … that doesn’t stop the water”. There is no way to make it without the blood of Jesus.

Today’s society consists of many worldviews. Most people tend to pull beliefs from different religions, but often stick to one main worldview. A worldview to me is the gathering of beliefs that shape what we do on a daily basis and forms our overall view on life. When I look at my beliefs critically, I am able to see my worldview and see how it compares to different worldviews, but also how it compares mainly to the Christian Worldview.

Other relevance worldviews about this teaching was that, treating each other with respect and dignity will help to foster unity among people and make people to live in harmony as God intended for us that He made in His own image should live. This teaching also encourages us to know how God instructed us to use our tongue. He said that, we should not use our tongue to say evil things to one another or curse, because we are His likeness and we not bad in His sight but good. (Genesis 1:31).

Imitating Christ’s Humility I choose Philippians 2:1-4 from the New International Bible, “Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” I picked this verse because it is a challenge to all Christian to think and act like Jesus. Jesus is the supreme example of looking at things from other person’s point of view.

As Christians, we should not only take care of our friends, and ourselves but also take care of everyone around the world to spread how great and generous God is. No matter who we are, where we come from, and what we do for living do not make difference in relationship with God. Taking an example from Good Samaritan story in Luke’s Gospel, in Jesus’ view, Samaritans who used to be despised and persecuted by Jews were same as His other children. Jesus tried to break the cultural boundaries between each stratum from priest to gentile and he even overcame with purity issues. However people have not been changed much of their attitude toward to others comparing to people in Jesus’ era. We are still living in the world with many hierarchy structures based on ethnicity, gender, age, and the status of society. Unconsciously I sometimes segregate myself from other people. It is truly shameful. It is mainly because we do not try to live like Jesus, because we do not follow his footstep, and because although we said things but we do not put those into action. Living off Christian’s life, we should acknowledge that we are all chosen by God; however, we should not act like Jews who think they are the only one who had been selected by God. We should spread God’s joyful words to other people who have not met

"Love your neighbour as yourself" (Matthew 22:39). Jesus Christ told that many will betray one another and will hate one another.

“Do not take revenge on someone who wrongs you. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.”Matthew 5:39. “Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you.”Matthew 5:44. "Jesus said... ‘all who live by the sword will die by the sword.”Luke 22:51. “Do not repay evil with evil.” Peter 3:9. Our Scriptures tell us that if you see your enemy hungry, go buy that person lunch, or if he's thirsty, get him a drink. Your generosity will surprise him with goodness. Don't let evil get the best of you; get the best of evil by doing good. Romans

Following His discussion of behaviors that one needs to possess for life in the kingdom, Jesus begins talking about the influence of those within the kingdom of God. One of the principles the Bible repeatedly stresses is the absolute obligation for His people to show an example to others. The children of Israel had various laws that made them separate and unique from the people around them (cf. Deut. 14:2, 26:18). Providing a purpose behind this separation and uniqueness, God intends for the idolaters and evil people around them will see their goodness (cf. Deut. 4:6 - 8). Similarly, God expects His people today to present an example to the outside world.

The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.” (Mark 12:30-31) God here clearly states that he wants his creation to be just as benevolent as he is. This is a very possible task that can be achieved if applied to our daily lives.
