Biblical Worldview And Summary And Analysis

622 Words3 Pages

When I hear the word, theology, many ideas come to mind. First, theology is the study of God. It is how we view God, or how we understand God. In my apologetics class last semester, we studied various world views through the examination of how Christians should view the world. I have learned that most religions believe in some sort of supreme being or force as in the biblical worldview, but they have changed God to fit their wants and needs influencing their culture through their daily choices of trying to reach some ultimate reward. When I hear the word theology, I think of a very intense Bible study about God’s word and doctrine. Thoughts about who is God and how does he try to have a relationship with me and how do I have a relationship with Him are questions I consider as part of my understanding of God. I feel small when I consider that …show more content…

While their topic of discussion was about the ark and dinosaurs, they kept pointing back to our supreme creator. They reminded us how God’s creation came because he spoke and it was so…and furthermore, it was good. I like a beautiful painted sunset to “declare the glory of God” (Psalm 19:1, King James Version). Because my family attends church, I received my first real Holy Spirit illumination when I was only 5 years old. I not only understood what it meant to be saved, but also explained the meanings of the elements of the communion to my pastor in such a way that made him reevaluate how much spiritual understanding children can have. Today my pastor was relating how Hezekiah pressed in to God and reminded Him of his desire to serve God (Isaiah 38, King James Version). The Lord honors faithfulness. Sometimes we need to open our mouths and remind God of our faithfulness. We need to see that God has a home in our heart and he will take the throne. We were urged not to make God

When the pastor would give the benediction I somewhat understood what he was preaching about. I understood that the Lord would be there and he would always be there, but what I didn’t get is why people could hear him speaking and I couldn’t. Now, I see how growing up in a church changed me for the better and helped me realize I am better than the people I hang around with. The people I’m with don’t want what’s best for me; they want to see me fail. I know that being an outsider in church was normal because most people felt the same way I felt.

More specifically, in the religious text “Psalms” many people look towards God to aid them in their hardship. Breugmann asserts that this call for help is segmented in four sections: the address, complaint, an ask, and a promise. In order to dive deeper in this ideology of how people in Psalms seeked sanctuary in their own turmoil, we will be analyzing Psalm 22. Before getting into any specific analysis of what makes up the Psalm 22 sense of disorientation, it’s crucial to determine why the speaker is

For me, theology is theo- or God and -ology or the study of. From this, I understand theology to be the study of God.

Marcus Garvey has been an inspiration and a motivation to me as I look towards a secondary education. Mr. Garvey was a political leader in Jamaica. This enabled him to be a part of a growing force of activist that aided African Americans in establishing communities. He was also a journalist, publisher, entrepreneur, and founder of the Black Star Line which was a shipping and passenger line that was instrumental in helping Africans return to their ancestral lands (Encyclopædia Britannica Online Marcus Garvey profile). Mr. Garvey continues to inspire me today.

This is important so that we can communicate effectively, and so we can organize our conclusions in a way that makes sense. While Christian Theology is any Christian conversation, systematic theology should be defined more narrowly. Dr. Kreider states that systematic theology can be defined as, “humans responding in a systematic way to revelation (especially in Scripture), expressing the truth about the triune God in language informed by culture and the Christian tradition” (2). This definition includes the word, “systematic” which means that instead of just thinking about God, systematic theology should include an effort to organize our understanding of God’s revelation, and ensure that each part fits into a cohesive whole. We also take into account the understanding of theology expressed by Christians in the past, and Christians in our community today, so we minimize the risk of twisting the scriptures out of ignorance (3, 2 Peter 3:14-18).

After a few weeks of trying to suppress this feeling of emptiness I had gained from not going to church, I decided that it was unavoidable; I still wanted to be a part of the church, despite the fact that my family did not. The thought of being different from the rest of my family scared me, but eventually, I gathered enough courage to ask my parents to take me to church again. At first, they snickered like hyenas and teased me, but once they saw the stern look on my face, their howling ceased and they agreed. Choosing to continue going to church despite being the only one in my family has marked my transition from childhood to adulthood.
