Christian Philosophy Research Paper

My worldview is formed by my relationships, challenges and choices I have made, environmental surroundings and my family influence, all which have impressed on me my views of the world.

Imagine a movement starting with just 12 ordinary people that has grown to influence billions across the globe, shaping art, culture, and history for over two millennia. That's the story of Christianity. Christianity originated in the 1st century AD, with its roots in Judea, part of the Roman Empire. It began as a Jewish sect founded on the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, who followers believed was the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament. After Jesus' crucifixion and reported resurrection, his followers spread his teachings.

The Old Testament of the Holy Bible gives many examples which provide modern man with guidelines for the use of scientific method. Millam (2008) explains that there is an underlying order in nature demonstrated by the patterns and regularities of God’s creations. These regularities can be seen in the forces of nature and are stable throughout space and time (Millam, 2008). The original classification of species, use of precise measurement, and even the first account of scientific research, are all included in the Old Testament of the Holy Scriptures. God gives scientists some clear frames of reference for seeking knowledge and truth in science.

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

Yet people are separated from God, not because he is so distant, but rather people are born rebels (i.e., they are born raging against him) (Rom 3:10-18).

Ever since I was six years old, the year I was baptized, I have been on fire for the Lord. I attended a Christian school for eight years and have always been very involved at my church. My first experience outside of my “Christian bubble” was when I went to a public high school. For the first time in my life, I was out of my comfort zone. Being at a public school challenged my faith, strengthened my leadership skills, and forced me to branch out and meet people I would have never encountered otherwise. However, even though being at a public school helped strengthen my faith in ways I would have never guessed, I believe attending a Christian university—like Liberty—is the best choice to further my education. Going to college is new and exciting, but it can also be a demanding and intimidating experience. Being so far away from home, in a different environment,

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

Benchmark - Gospel Essentials Christian Worldview refers to the framework of the beliefs and ideas that individuals or a group understands the world and how they respond with it. It is such a big topic in society today to really understand the true meaning of it and what to believe and what not to believe but also who is god? What is god like and what are the characteristics of god and his creation? The thought of this makes the question expand a little longer and asks the question of what is human nature and what is the purpose of humans and the root cause of human kind of issues?

This means, God created the heavens and the earth, light, expanse or firmament (Heaven), land, water, sun, moon, stars, living creatures, and even order within them and how they would and could reproduce as stated in Genesis 1:1-25. The following paper will look further into what it means to have a Christian worldview, to include, the characteristics of God and his creation, humanity, Jesus, and humanity’s restoration to God. God is not just a cosmic force, he is a personal Spirit. Jesus said, “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24).

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”.

If I were to sum up what I have learned from this course it would be focused on Faith and a new understanding of the Bible. Faith is not just part of religion but every aspect of our everyday lives, and is fascinatingly carried through the Bible from the beginning to the end. It began with the Creation, and continued throughout the Fall, Redemption, and Consummation of Christ. It is the foundation of the Christian perspective and what leads God’s people to salvation and good works. Our modern world is so corrosive to faith that Jesus Christ asked, "When the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:8). He is there to give his people the gift of faith and to help them to grow in living faith that will last forever.

"Secular" means having to do with this world, or that which is temporal rather than spiritual. It suggests something that is not specifically pertaining to religion, or that which is apart from God, although not necessarily opposed to

One of the main ideas of A Christian Manifesto is to remind the reader that the state is and was always based upon the principles of God being the supreme law. To elaborate this, Schaffer cites several passages from the New Testament in which the difference between Government and God is explained. Government is there to commend the right and punish the wrong, but this power is given to it by the Creator. In other words, Government is still a servant to God, not his equal. “God has appointed the state as a delegated authority; it is not autonomous” (91). This is what was believed in during the American Revolution and what the humanist belief system is trying to leave behind. Conflict comes when, influenced by humanism, government goes against God 's law in its governing. Using tax money for legal abortion clinics is a good example of this. The response Schaffer considers appropriate is, civil disobedience.

Christian Tradition course exposed me to the Christian Tradition based on Biblical and church history. The course taught me the differences and similarities of Christian Tradition from other major world religions. I learned about the significance of God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Trinity based on the teachings of the Bible. The course also briefly covered 2,000 years of church history but with emphasis on the impact of the Council of Nicea, Council of Chalcedon, and John and Charles Wesley on Christianity. The professor emphasized the importance of the reformation that sparked a revolution in the church.
