We are talking about the eight questions, comparing Sire and Hiebert worldviews, and how it is telling us the meaning in what Sire and Hiebert are looking for.
The primary beliefs and the presuppositions at heart of the modern worldview, (it is helpful to start with the Sire’s 8 questions from pp 22-23 of the Universe Next Door, though you may depart from these if something you want to say doesn’t fit neat into Sire’s list).
According to the question given in the book, starting with the prime real and reality of life and nature are assumed to be under the regulation of a God with human personality according to the books of Transforming worldviews and Paul says “ it is intentions …show more content…

God was seen as loving creator who encouraged his children and protected each course of worldly events according to his promises.
There is conflict in modern worldview is naturalism because the modern worldview is talking about reintroduction of Aristotelian dualism in western European though middle ages and creator the creation was God in naturalism the universe is closed system and not open to reordering from the outside either by transcendent being later at length by self-transcendent or autonomous human beings. On what is a human being the modern worldview and naturalism they conflict because in the modern worldview they say human beings are scared canopy that give meaning and security to human endeavors meaning they are gods of world but those gods were gods of power, violence, credulity, not of love, and benevolence while in naturalism human beings are complex machine, they were part mind and in the mind was different substance. It is the great majority of naturalists. Human beings are simply part of the …show more content…

In the battle between the people in the modern world view and Christian Theism, Christian Theism has lost its sacred canopy that gave meaning and security to human endeavors. Both modern worldview and Christian theism live in a life of thinking they are gods of world and gods of power, violence, and cruelty, not of love and compassion. In Christian theism, human beings are created in the image of God and possess character, state of grace, cleverness, principles, gregariousness, and creativity.
In modern worldview and Christian theism, they both exist within the same framework of life after death whereby, they believe either on renovation, and final conclusion. In Christian theism, death is either the gate to life with God and people, or eternal separation. Modern worldview and Christian theism have both the different framework. They individually agree that human beings can recognize the world around them and God himself; He is the maker of the world and of all in it. In the modern world view they believe in the orders and control by laws. This subject of the natural laws are consequently methods to discover and prove certain laws that define good and evil. On the other hand, Christian theism is a conflict by saying human beings were created good, but

Introduced were the three main characters that are the focal point in the Christian worldview, including God who is sovereign and a triune God, humanity who began life in God’s good graces, but quickly fell away because of idolatry and bad choices early on, and Jesus, the Savior who came and rescued them. Crucified and then resurrected, Jesus restored humanity’s relationship with God and because of God’s infinite love, through grace, promised them life eternal. Through this, benefits and strengths of the Christian worldview were brought to the forefront along with some challenges that believers face. Finally, this discussion revealed my own beliefs in relationship to the Christian worldview.

In the Genesis account, God created human beings in His own image and likeness with a body and a soul which enables mankind to have the capacity to reason and choose certain actions that will manifest the Creator’s glory and restore man’s relationship with his true self and God. This statement may cause uneasiness for most people, but it is rather true for the reason that there is an inner voice calling and pulling humankind towards the good. In short, “everyone has natural inclinations towards truth and goodness as God conforms every human person in His likeness of wisdom and goodness as an interior master calling His creation to participate more deeply in their freedom.” Before tackling the first point, we should first prove how people cannot deny the fact that

We live on this Earth as God’s creation and we worship him. On the other hand, the secular worldview claims that the authority of one’s self is more important than the authority of any god or any religion. There is no god or higher power in this worldview, and the existence of anything supernatural, transcendent, or divine is denied. In this worldview, our feelings are the ultimate guide to how we should live our lives. Only we are able to know how we feel.

The Christian worldview believes that God is the ultimate reality. Man, who was created in the image of God, fell from God’s favor in disobedience and has been subject to inherent sin ever since. Jesus, God’s very own son, gave His life as a ransom for all men so that we could be reconciled in fellowship with God. Through faith in the words and works of Jesus Christ, we live a life of faith growing into the image of Christ and learning to love God and man selflessly and fully just as God Himself does. My final analysis of the Christian worldview is that although the great strength of Christianity is that it is rooted in love and forgiveness, yet to its hurt, it is often misunderstood by both non-believers and some believers as people tend to point blame and cast judgment onto others instead of reflecting inwardly and bringing their own issues before God.

In a literature review by Burris and Rempel (2012) they suggested that evil in religions all around the world is surrounded by selfishness, the destruction of well being and impersonality. The researchers in the literature review suggested that in the perspective of Christianity, the concept of evil is seen as an act done to cause an inappropriate suffering. Researchers found that a great example of evil in Christianity is the crucifixion of Jesus was an act to end the well-being of Jesus. Judaism’s has the perspective that there is a dark side to everyone that is similar to the idea of Jung’s shadow, in which there is a part in all humans that is attracted to evil, the yetzer ra. In Islam the nature of evil can be understood within the relationship between adl (having done something in a traditional way) and zulm (having done something in an unorthodox way).

However, if there were one main concept that surrounded the idea of death from a christian perspective, it would be that death for a person whose life has had Christ at its center, is essentially the bridge to eternal life in paradise. When we die, our immaterial soul and spirit are immediately separated from our physical body, which is followed by God’s judgement in order to determine if we will or will not obtain eternal life in heaven. We see evidence of this in 2 Corinthians 5:8 where it says, “We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.” This passage also illustrates that this progression is immediate as there is no occurrence of time spent in something like purgatory. Hebrews 12:23, states that at this point, “the spirits of righteous men made perfect,” meaning that we will be made perfect and free of all

Along with Glaucon’s and Plato’s view of the nature of the man, there were also different views discussed in week four which present the nature of man according to the Judeo-Christian tradition and Rousseau. The views of Plato and the Judeo-Christian tradition are parallel. The Judeo-Christian tradition believe in the dual nature of man in which man is capable of doing both good and evil. It also believes in self-reflection and moral assessment in which it allows the individual to check their lower impulses through conscience, spiritual law, and the holy spirit. The view permits the individual to do good and evil and to measure ourselves in which we can improve ourselves.

A common questioning of a higher power beyond the physical realm lingers in society: Who and what is God?. However, many of these theological questions cannot be answered until we, of course, die. Due to human’s innate curiosity to understand the forces beyond their own, especially in terms of religion, humans find their own reasons to believe in God in the process of discovery. Religion is a sense of belief and worship to praise a higher power (God), and it provides a guide for human beings to have the opportunity to come together and live as one image of God’s children. “Imagine There’s No Heaven” is an article in which Salman Rushdie, the author, presents an atheistic view where religion is pointless, and a higher being is non-existent.

The after-life is a common thing for many religions. However, some of them were too focused on it that made people (at least society’s lower classes) to neglect their existence in favor of the future happiness.
