Before we delve into this topic, let us go back to the book of Genesis chapter 1 verse 26. (God said let us make Man in our own image, after our likeness) There are two very important words here, IMAGE and LIKENESS. Let’s first look at the word IMAGE, it means the exact reflection of one’s self, when you look in the mirror, you see the exact reflection of yourself, so we wouldn’t be wrong to say that God looks like Man. Then the word LIKENESS, also means characteristics, behavior, attributes, abilities, nature or actions, so in both reflection and in actions Man is like God.
It is true that religion and science aren’t always viewed as compatible, and the idea that they have nothing to do with each other isn’t that uncommon. However, for a religion that claims to be an objectively true explanation of reality, science and religion must be two sides of the same coin. Christian apologetics is an attempt to demonstrate that the Christian worldview makes sense not only as a spiritual explanation, but as a philosophically and scientifically accurate understanding of the universe. Mormonism also presents itself as an objectively true religion and should, therefore, offers ways to understand it within the context of science and philosophy. Part of the way the LDS church does this today is through the organization, FARMS (Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies), which serves the research and publish scholarly analyses of the Book of Mormon, the Bible, early Christian history, and ancient temples.
A collection of accounts from various writers that lay out the bases of the Christian religion. A sacred book, accepted by the Christian church and inspired by God, and thus trusted upon providing guidelines for belief and behaviour. The Bible is a guide for living life to the full, it gives the readers a roadmap for the journey of life. It comprises stories for children and grownups, these stories emphasize the triumphs and failures of ordinary people. A treasury of insight as to who we are, and a source book for everyday living.
The Bible is humankind’s exceptional Truth, their guide to life, and filled with many answers to humanities life expectancy. However, God expects that his people work on building on their wisdom, education and/or knowledge about themselves, the world they live in, and the Truth about their existence. God pleads with his people seek knowledge, wisdom, insight, and understanding, meaning beyond reading the Bible, it is about all things--Everything (Proverbs 1:7, 2:10, 8:10, & 15:14). According to Barclay (n.d.) Biblical “Truth” is primary, however, one must use the Biblical understanding (Truth about life) to help explore all things and happenings in the current life, including psychological awareness [Audio podcast/Video lecture].
To understand myself and strengthen my relationship with God, it is important to read the Bible and understand the messages and purpose of each book. Having a Biblical worldview is important. It is the foundation of everything I say and do. The choices I make should be based off the word of God. To provide an insight into my thoughts on the word of God, I will be discussing Romans pertaining to questions that every person should think about.
We must consider this teaching through exercising a creative-redemptive power over the world in which we live (Graham, 2009). History has taught us that education is essentially to prepare children for the "real-life" world and their future (Barton, 2004). However, having a Judeo-Christian belief prepares students to fulfill their God-given purpose through education. We are made in God 's image and although we sin and have our faults, we are made good through Him and in Him (Graham, 2009). The philosophy of education gets to the heart of a biblical worldview, which oversees our feelings and actions.
The Bible begins with the words, “In the beginning. God created the heavens and the earth” What a good concept to start with as I explore the Church of the first five Decades, New beginnings in the church of Christ. The call to the apostle was a comprehensive one the Lord asked that each of His followers live the lifestyle of a true member. During the first century of the Church, Jesus Crucified had His Apostles and His disciples to manifest his ineffable love to the whole world.
Philosophy is the knowledge and reality of nature. It is a way of life and it is helpful with academics. The Lord is the basis of all philosophy. Christians can use the Bible for all kinds of knowledge and use the Trinity to teach them what they need to be doing. Christians take for granted what they have and that is all about moral issues.
To educate effectively, we must be prepared, plan, and present subject matter with imagination and vitality. In Matthew 7:29, it states, “Jesus taught with a commanding assurance and vigor that amazed the multitudes.” Curriculum development necessitates the formation of a framework that will provide concepts and materials which will expand the learning process. The position of the teacher not only leads but serves (Matthew 20:25-28). Leading and serving as a biblical worldview can be successfully intertwined into the role of the teacher, impacting the development of the curriculum.
Which is an important role in students’ lives. Christian in the public school system can have difficult time following their beliefs when teaching. Teachers who have a Christian philosophy approach to education from a perspective of a Christian biblical worldview can influence students. Educator’s and school counselor’s that have a Christian philosophy can teach Christian ideas in students to help with character development. It essential for an educator to understand each student and guide them to God’s mission in life (Barlett, 2007).
(5) As people read the Bible, they will begin to comprehend how life-transforming reading and applying DU the Bible is. (2)To begin studying the Bible, your time with God, your heavenly Father IWW, should be approximately 15 minutes each day. (4)Beginning with Acts, one could devour SV one chapter per day. (3) Realistically, a person could read one chapter in Proverbs daily, which WW is in the Old Testament. Another idea for a Bible plan would be to use a concordance and complete a topical QA study by looking up a word; for example, one could complete a topical study on faith by reading the Scripture listed in the concordance under the heading.
Through the beginning of the world, there is God, the Creator of all things and our Father. Through His creation, He created two humans named Adam and Eve. They were immortal, they do not care whether they were naked or do anything, they were not suffering, and they were free to do anything except eating the fruit of truth in the paradise of Eden. But the serpent or we should say “Satan” tempted Adam and Eve to eat the fruit. God got angry and forced Adam and Eve to leave the Eden and suffer.
However students in any university will receive only a partial education of facts and worldly wisdom because they lack the fear of the LORD. Psalm 111:10 declares, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom” (NASB). Scruton attempted to appeal to his readers common sense however he did not appeal strongly to the readers common morals. Each of us beings, made in God’s Image, has a common moral code that all men share at least part of. Scruton should have appealed to this aspect of men to truly drive his point
Despite the opposition teachers face from outside the classroom, it is essential that a student’s learning enviornment remains free from bias and serves as place for constructive classroom discussion. As you continue to read my paper, I will discuss both sides of this argument - how students are being affected and what we can do to solve this longtime debate of God verses
Education is an issue that is often talked about. It is an issue that is highly debated about when trying to find the most effective way to teach. In Howard Gardners ' Book “The Disciplined Mind” he simplifies this issue by stating “...I believe that three very important concerns should animate education; these three concerns have names and histories that extend far back into the past. There is the realm of truth-and it 's underside, what is false of indeterminable. There is the realm of beauty- and its absence in experiences or objects that are ugly or kitchy.
