Our worldview is how we interpret the world around us. It is a lense on how we see the world. It determines how we interact with each other in society. It determines our morals and ethics. This view is, however, not always the same “ Worldviews can and do change. In general, worldview has been most influenced by religion and science. The key is that our belief system determines what we think is possible, and what we think is possible influences the results we create or allow in life. The interactions of all our individual worldviews shapes the condition of humanity and therefore, given our technologies, of planet Earth.” A worldview is a little bit like glasses. They help us to see the world around us. However, sometimes, we don’t have the right prescription. If we don’t have the right prescription, then we will not be able to see correctly. We have to go to an expert (e.g. a doctor) to get the right prescription.
Christianity is a theistic religion, and they believe that there is one God, incarnate in three essences or beings. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are these three essences. Along with this, they believe God is a supernatural being. The revelation of Christianity is given in two ways: general revelation and special revelation. Christians believe in dualism and states that the mind is immaterial while the body is a mortal being. Human beings are comprised of both of these essences. In view of this, Christians believe in supernaturalism. Supernaturalism is the belief that the world is comprised of more than just mortal matter, but is also composed of more than just a spiritual realm. There is a mix of these two that helps the world to function properly. They also believe in the existence of moral absolutes. This ...

...ostmodernism. Also, Secular Humanism, Marxism/Leninism, Postmodernism and Cosmic Humanism all deny the existence of moral absolutes. This however, is not a logical way to live. If morals are not absolute, than the concept of morals is overruled, and it is just whatever pleasures you. In all the areas covered above, the only worldview that seems to correctly interpret the world is Christianity. It is the only one that accurately explains the world we live in. All the others are merely a man-made attempt to try to understand something we cannot possibly understand on our own.

In Charles Colson and Nancy Pearcy's essay, "Worldviews in Conflict," the authors evaluate the shifting culture context of today's society and how Christianity fits into this situation. The essay compares the differing views between Christianity and today's worldview, and informs the reader on how to engage today's culture.

A Christian worldview leads us to believe in moral absolutes, miracles, human dignity, and the possibility of redemption. True Christianity is more than a set of ideas used at church. Christianity, as taught in the Bible, is itself a worldview. The Bible never dis...

Christians are required to believe: that there is one supreme, eternal, infinite God, the Creator of heaven and earth, the good will be rewarded by him forever in heaven, and that the wrong who die unrepentant will be punished for ever in hell, that in the Holy Trinity there are three Persons, coeternal, coequal: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity became man and died on the cross to save us, in the Commandments of God and of the Church, the seven rituals were instituted by Christ to give us grace; especially, that Baptism is necessary and that the Eucharist is a pledge of our upcoming glory, That
All people have a worldview based on personal beliefs that form their reality and what they feel is meaningful in life. I am a Christian with a biblical worldview, which is based on the word of God. My faith in Jesus as my savior is what drives the meaning of who I am and the importance of life. The Book of Romans 1-8 provides the word of God and answers questions about how Christians can live a righteous life for our savior Jesus Christ.
The Christian worldview is centered on the Gospel and places their beliefs in the essential teachings of the Trinity, the deity of Jesus Christ, and Jesus’ resurrection from the dead (DiVincenzo, 2015). This paper will explain who God is and what he created, what our purpose and nature is as humans, who Jesus was and what he did while on earth, how God plans to bring his people back into the right relationship with himself, and as a Christian how one is to live their life with an analysis of the Christian worldview.
What is a worldview? According to the PowerPoint presentation made by Dr. James Henderson, a worldview is a commitment to a basic view about reality, a set of assumptions and commitments to an emotional, ethical, and spiritual orientation, which can be expressed as a story or a set of logical presuppositions about what we believe, which to me means that one’s viewpoints, expectations, ethical and societal beliefs are systematized by what is acceptable, tolerable and unobjectionable. In contrast, a biblical worldview is a comprehensive perception of the world as we know it through Christian morals, principles, and consciousness.
A worldview is a philosophy of life or concept of the world: ‘a Christian world view revolves around the battle of good and evil’ (University, 1884). A person’s worldview can be affected by many factors in life – it can be affected by their inherited characteristics, by their life situations and their background experiences , by their values in life, by their attitudes and lastly their habits that they developed in life and many more factors, all these factors can vary from one person to another.
All across the United States Christians are talking about this term called Worldview. What is it anyway? Many times, we release our guard and end up allowing society to change our thinking into what the rest of the “popular culture” thinks of our very being. As Christians, we should be giving scriptural backup for whatever conclusions one makes about this culture.
the gap that existed between man and God because of sin, has been bridged. His precious blood that was shed on the cross wiped away all our sins. Furthermore, the death of Christ means humanity received grace; “grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” According to John the Baptist in John 1:18, know one has set eyes on the Father, but through Jesus Christ, who is in close relation with God the Father, has made Him known.
All people have a worldview that is based on personal beliefs forming their reality and what they feel is meaningful in life.

Hey Doug, I was wondering what your worldview is. In case you don’t know what a worldview is I will give you the definition for it. A worldview is basically how a person sees the world. Every person is entitled to have a worldview and I was wondering which was yours because everyone has a worldview whether the person knows it or not. A person might just even see the world as a happy place and that would count as a worldview because that’s how the person sees the world. Colossians 3:17 “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” There are many different worldviews per person in this world.
In today’s Christian worldview there are many essential basics. God is the biggest element because he is the reason why there is a Christian worldview. Humanity and Jesus was created for God’s use. God used Jesus to restore humanity since the fall of humanity many people had turned against GOD. In my essay I hope to explain the importance of each essential component is to the Christian worldview and what I believe when it comes to the Christian worldview.
Worldview is how you view the world around you and your place in it. Obviously a worldview is shaped and expanded over the course of a lifetime by many different influences. It is important to really examine your worldview and support it using many viewpoints. This paper will be made up of three parts all incorporating my worldview. In the first part I will explain my worldview in detail. In the second part I will be comparing my worldview to another. Finally, in the third part I will use my worldview to support my stance on an ethical dilemma of abortion.
The World View is a global concept. It defines our standard of how things are or should be in the world we live in. It makes up our rules of how we and others should act and our values and morals to behave in the world. For most of the people, the world view is a vague set of rules that we have unconsciously adopted from the society. Generally our family, religious groups and society seldom allow us for making creating our own. Through our intellect, we can create aspects of our world view. In short the World View is a filter through which we make judgments of others and ourselves.
