Week Three Devotional My Christian worldview is based upon the doctrinal truth that Jesus Christ is not just a master teacher, but that He is God. I am not willing to change that, but what I am willing to do is make adjustments or amendments or corrections to my worldview surrounding the foundational truth that Jesus Christ is God (Joh 1:1; 1:14, 10:30 KJV). I do not pretend to be an authority on all Scripture, but I do know that the one who is the authority lives in me and speaks to me and through me to others. The Bible speaks to me and tells me “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works (2Tim 3:16-17 KJV). I want to put emphasis on reproof and correction because the Word of God is so deep that there are things that my understanding is in part or in error. I thank God for the Holy Spirit who will not allow me to continue in error and makes a way for correction and reproof. …show more content…
He is the one who knows the deep things of God and gives discernment to His Word and illumination and enlightenment to the reader and hearer of it. Salvation is of the Lord. I cannot save anyone or change anyone. That is God’s business. What God has authorized me, as a child of God, and His ambassador, to do is proclaim His gospel message and plead with others to be reconciled to God (2Cor 5:20 KJV). One day, as Paul points out, there is a Day of Judgment and I will have to give an account for my stewardship of God’s entrusted message to others (2Cor 5:10-11 KJV). My job is not to beat people over the head with Scripture, or argue and debate with them to the point of using violence, but to compassionately be understanding and open to reason with them and not be
Although a worldview ensues what a person believes about the great questions of life, a biblical worldview stands far more intense since it’s filtered through the bible and the outlook stays Christ focused. The book of Romans in the Bible provides an example of what a biblical worldview should be like. As a result of Paul’s truths in Romans 1-8, believers have been able to grasp an understanding of the teachings that express the idea of a biblical worldview that God intended us to perceive.
There are many aspects of the Christian worldview that determines one’s faith. It all begins with God and what he did and why he so great. Then how humanity was shape with its issues and main purpose. The way we see Jesus and what has he done to be apart of are faith and what as humans have found for a restoration. Through analysis the Christian faith and how each of these tie in together. While reflecting on my faith and if lives to the standards of a Christian worldview. Through explaining my understanding of the four aspects of a Christian worldview I will analysis and compare it to my faith.
What is Christianity and why has it been able to develop into a continuously growing and evolving religion?
The American Christian Worldview 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. Every society has a culture.
For a Christian, Scriptures are the basis of what he believes. Scriptures are inspired by God and one can be sure that Scriptures never lie, because God simply cannot lie. God leads us ONLY to the truth: “But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come” (John 16:13). The Bible itself tells us that it is a good teacher and we may use it to teach others: “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,” (2 Timothy 3:16)
Christian faith and Ethos is the class I am taking this term. The professor 's name is Reverend Leroy Leach Jr. The class is about God, the creation, and how to read the Holy Bible.
Elijah Taylor Mr. Sowers Understanding the Times 1/8/2015 Worldview Paper People have eyes. The parts in the eye work together to send a signal to the optic nerve. The optic nerve then sends these signals to the visual cortex — the part of the brain that controls our sense of sight.
Authority of Scripture reconciles the community with God and can transform our lives. To participate in the fuller blessing of understanding, it is important to view Scripture with historical and literary sensitivity, interpret theocentrically, ecclesially, and contextually. I realize each of these can be overwhelming to the average person who is seeking direction for a specific concern in their life. Therefore, Migliore reminds us, interpreting Scripture is practical engagement in the living of Christian faith, love, and hope in a still redeemed world. When we listen carefully to the voices of the past, from a worldwide culture, and guided by the Holy Spirit, we will open ourselves to those transformational opportunities.
Jesus himself was the agent through whom God utilised to carry out his word. Jesus, like the prophets who came before him, saw people for who they were and what kind of character they had [15]. We see this clearly in the story of ‘A sinful woman” who anointed Jesus’ feet and was saved because of the attitude revealed by her actions (Luke 7:36-50). This showed Jesus as a friend to outcasts and sinners, for he did not come for the morally good, but for the sinners (Luke 5:32) [16].
Christianity Project I have learned the importance of ministry during my stay at KCC. I’ve learned that ministry comes in various from, sharing the word of God with others to assisting a peer with homework or giving a friend a ride to a store. All our actions can be considered a type of ministry. Throughout my studies at KCC I have learned that Ministry means simply being a servant to God and to man. Before coming to KCC, I thought ministry focused directly on peaching and teaching within the four walls of the church.
If a rule of life can be likened to a trellis, then scripture will be the timber that eventually becomes the latticework. Therefore, studying and assimilating the scripture is essential to our growth and development as leaders to the sons and daughters we are called to influence and compel to greater heights in Christ. Not only did the Psalmist declare that storing up the Word in our hearts keeps us from sinning against the Lord, Paul also revealed to Timothy that “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works” (Psalm 119:11, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, King James Version). Therefore, if we aspire to accomplish, great works in God, and fulfill our callings, we must know, understand and adhere to the teaching expresses in God’s Word. Moreover, as much as we’d like to dismiss this notion, Scazzero (2014) exclaimed that “we live in a culture shaped by the beast” (p. 43).
... God’s word, and it provides humanity with his truth and revelation. His word is a guide to live by, and through his word, all is made clear. No doctrine or faith in Christianity should stray from the word of God. His word is pure and holy, and it reveals his plans and love for all.
Change. Change is either good or bad, it all depends on perspective. As does my topic, The view of Christianity from the outside. Christianity, in its most basic form is the relationship between an individual and Jesus Christ, who is believed to be the Savior, the one who died for our sins. Many people believe that Christians are just angry, judgmental people who are out to get people on the fence about what they believe.
Although we may not all see eye to eye, we all still have our own worldview. The central idea of a worldview is to be the different beliefs that is an understanding of how we see the world around us. It will be understood by how a person feels about different emotions and ideas that are encountered on a daily basis. A worldview is a response of our heart or inner being: our intellect, emotion and will. (Weider, Gutierrez,59) We create our own personal worldview based on things we believe are true and norms to society. A worldview perspective shapes, influences, and generally directs a person's entire life. (Samples 2007)
The author’s main argument is the failure of moral theology to focus on the everyday ethical issues confronting Christians, while his main aim is the usefulness of social anthropology to moral theology. The author wants a strong (er) relationship or connection between moral theology, i.e. ethics, and anthropology.
