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.
Response Paper Liberty University Online Kaitlin Camden Rose October 12, 2017 In February of 1968, H.J. McCloskey published an article titled “On Being an Atheist” This short article skims the surface on the viewpoints of atheists and their beliefs that God does not exist. In this article McCloskey shares his opinions in which he believes that he has a strong response and defense against Christians by stating that Christians are unable to provide any solid evidence or any arguments that there is, in fact, a God. He goes on to judge and tears apart the Christian’s cosmological and teleological theories. McCloskey debates that the opinions, beliefs and faith of Christians are all erroneous and he powerfully approaches his arguments
Disproving Christianity and Other Secular Writings seeks to expose the “fallacies, improbabilities, and contradictions created by the Christian tradition” (para. 1), promising to establish such contentions with biblical evidence (para. 2). After exhibiting these contentions, McAfee purposes to establish the conclusion “that the words of The Holy Bible, and therefore the teaching of the Christian community, cannot be a representation of an omnipotent Creator” (p. 109).
