Document one was created by a famous Christian John Edwards. John states that God will judge every human, and no one can be saved from hell if they are a sinner. Not even a miracle wouldn’t be able to save you because God has to exact his justice. Document one displays the Christian faith. This shows that the Christian God has to exact His judgement on sinful people.
In the Bible, God is shown to be merciful and loving. " The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works" (Pslm. 145.9). The Lord is good to all, not cruel, and shows mercy to all his creatures. The Lord is the source of love and loves unconditionally even giving his only son so that all may have eternal life. " For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life" (John 3.16).
After explaining the beliefs of Dualism and Pantheism, Lewis raised a question: "If a good God made the world why has it gone wrong?" According to him, there are two views that face all the facts. One is the Christian view that this is a good world that has gone wrong, but still retains the memory of what it ought to have been. Firstly, for Christianity, evil is a parasite, not an original independent thing. The powers which enable to carry on are powers given it by goodness.
According to Nicholi Jr. (2002) our worldview, “helps us understand where we come from, our heritage; who we are, our identity; why we exist on this planet, our purpose; what drives us, our motivation; and where we are going, our destiny” (p. 7). The biggest strength of a worldview is that it enables an individual to form a theory of his or her own reality. The individual then utilizes this concept of reality and its ideals to understand the world in which they live in. For instance, my Christian Worldview is solely based on the solid foundation of God’s inspired Word.
I agree with what you said about Moralistic Therapeutic Deism worldview among teens today is not broad enough because of it’s limited presentative of the world. Everyone in the world is not nice and kind due to evil present in the world. Salvation is the solution to sin in the world and that message is lost when someone think on good is present. The Bible states, “And you children, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord and prepare his way, to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins because of the tender mercy of our God” (Luke 1:76-78). God created man in his image, and we were created to have a relationship with him that consist of love, worship and stewardship.
Phil Connors: If He Attended The Sermon on the Mount "Okay campers, rise and shine... it's Groundhog Day!" played on Phil Connors radio at six A.M. everyday for around ten thousand years. Everyday was the same, nothing ever changed and their was no way to reverse the so called 'curse'. Phil Connors, a miserable weather man with no joy in life, starts off his journey of living the same day over and over again in confusion, anger, denial and fear. The egotistical Phil needed to learn how to make use of his life in this time period of repeating the same day over and over again.
God planned for Jesus to take on the burdens of original sin from humanity and carry them with him on his cross. Jesus provides everyone with salvation through his Death and Resurrection. The books of the Acts of the Apostles and many letters in the New Testament usually categorize Jesus in one of three metaphorical explanations: the Suffering Servant, the Paschal Lamb, and the ransom for many. In the book of Isaiah, many passages describe a suffering servant of God to save people from their sins. This connection can easily be made with Jesus.
But Christ offered a better and more perfect sacrifice. When he died, he
The Sermon on the Mount found in Matthew 5-7, is framework in which Christians are to align their lives with, and where our definition of justice should come from; through Christ’s teachings I am able to see that for my topic of the truths and consequences behind why there is a lack of recognition/awards given to minority actors and how the issues within that are a reflection of America’s issues. The Sermon focuses on not only the relations that we are to hold with others, but also our relationship with ourselves; beyond the types of relations we seek and hold within ourselves the sermon also speaks on how we are to assess what to do when injustice is done. Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, calls for those who vow to live by the Christian way of
It claims that this religion instills guilt for the feelings and aspirations that are inherent to humanity while promoting a moral system that consistently goes against the instincts and nature of mankind. In seeking moral excellence and “the ideals of humanity,” Nietzsche asserts that mankind loses its instinctive desire to grow and become powerful and, therefore, becomes corrupt (Nietzsche 6). To simplify, corruption can be defined as straying away from innate feelings that encourage growth and yearn for power. Nietzsche uses the concept of transvaluation of values to reiterate his argument that everything that Christianity suggested is good is actually evil and vice versa. Nietzsche sees Christianity as nihilistic, stressing that the values and traditions leave people yearning for redemption that they will never be able to achieve on their own.
Kraft explores worldview functions in appendix A of “Christianity with Power.” He starts by overviewing worldview functions and universals. The four worldview functions are explaining, evaluating and validating, assigning and prioritizing commitments, interpreting, integrating, and adapting. The “explaining” function discusses how we, as a society, develop our picture of what REALITY looks like. The “evaluating and validating” function is to enable people to evaluate what goes on and around inside of them and validate common perceptions and behaviors.
My Christian worldview shapes my two philosophy choices in numerous ways. One way my Christian worldview shapes my Essentialism philosophy choice is by giving our student a road map of what will be expected as an adult. Psalm 32:8 states “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.” Just as God teaches, instructs, guides us daily, educators must teach our students the basic skills needed in order to thrive daily and as an adult. One way my Christian worldview shapes my Progressivism philosophy choice is by teaching our students to be considerate of others.
Father Capon states that if what Helen’s notion of God is misconstrued, most likely by her Roman Catholic past. He suggests that she is thinking more along the lines of a Roman god of old or, for that matter, any other god but the Christian God. He goes into further detail by telling her a story of Caligula. Caligula, a Roman Caesar, fell ill and a loyal senator pleads to the gods to take his life in exchange for Caligula’s. When Caligula recovers from his illness he forces the man to take his own life to complete the bargain struck with the gods.
Through our readings and discussion of the Bible, I have had the opportunity to explore and broaden my perspective on the Catholic bible. I also understand that importance of incorporating the morals taught in the Bible into my life. In order to thoroughly understand the Bible, I must decipher between the facts and fiction. My worldview has been changed dramatically as I now have a different outlook of my origins.
As compelling as it is to agree with the persuasive argument Richard Dawkins made about how God was a being who was a cruel, “capriciously malevolent bully…” (Dawkins 1), whom was very judgmental and remorseless in the Old Testaments. You firstly have to put in the matter that even though the punishments given by God may seem merciless, it may have just been a way God had given us to redeem ourselves from the terrible deed that we had committed. We have to remember we are all the children of God and that makes God our Father. Children when given a punishment, sometimes will accept it because they know that is what they deserved, but most of the time they will be guaranteed to be angry and perceive their punishment as unfair or unreasonable.
