This is why God created a universe fit for human life, and why he laid down guidelines for how to live our lives. According to Christianity, each one of us is created for communion with God; God wants to know us, to love us, and to rejoice with us. Examples in the Bible are Proverbs 19: 21 and Ephesians 3: 20. The most basic principle of the Christian moral life is the awareness that every person bears the dignity of being made in the image of God. He has given us an immortal soul and through the gifts of intelligence and reason enables us to understand the order of things established in his creation.
35).” God designed every organism and every person; and if this organism is living then God is living in it. God is absolute goodness, which means that every creation of His is good. As Williams says on page 34, “There is indeed a beginning point, but it is the beginning of an active relationship that never stops. For God to create is for God to ‘commit’ his action, his life…” God
His four premises lead to the one conclusion that “God therefore exists eternally. His premise one begins by saying that one has in their mind the (innate) idea of a supremely perfect being; therefore they must affirm all the perfections of such a being. This goes to say and could be understood by
John 17:3 sums up the point of life: to know God. If there truly is this all-powerful, all-knowing, all-good God of which the Bible speaks, of course He would be the One worth knowing in this universe. Man was created in God’s image, so his life’s ambition should be to find what that image is and who that God
Thus the LOGOS, in Heraclitus's view, is the unifier in nature. Heraclitus argued that to understand correctly how things come to be and what it is to be (LOGOS) one must see that all things are unified in the LOGOS. Moreover, Heraclitus wrote, “For all things come to be in accordance with this LOGOS.” (McKirahan 116, Fr. 10.1) Thus, the LOGOS is also the origin of all things insofar as it is the arrangement of all matter. Through this arrangement or unity of all things, Heraclitus concluded that, “all things are one.” (McKirahan) In doing so, Heraclitus solidified his concept of unity in the universe and explained how this is possible through the constant interaction and balance between opposite things in the universe.
Scripture is the grid through which believers view existence, truth, sin, salvation, ethics, and evil. This biblical worldview is based on God’s truth and the humanity and the purpose of God in our lives. The Natural World We see the natural world as being created by God and through his words. God has always shown who he was through the creation of himself and mankind. God was one that spoke into existence on everything he foreseen present or future.
McCloskey attempts to make an argument for the non-existence of God and to give reasons why atheism is more comforting than theism. This paper is a response to that article which will address certain ideas raised by Mr. McCloskey. This author is a theist and will present arguments to show the reasoning for the existence and necessity of God. To begin with, McCloskey suggests in his article that the theist’s arguments are “proofs” which do not provide definitive evidence for the existence of God, so therefore, they should be discarded. This is not a justified argument due to the fact that theists do not try to definitely prove the existence of God.
Worldview Assignment Part One: What is a worldview? A worldview is the essence of our being, the very core of who we are in relation to our emotions, desires, and the decisions we make. It also helps us determine how we see the world around us and the events that happen in it (Weider and Gutierrez 59). Part Two – One: The Question of Origin The biblical/Christian Worldview believes that mankind, the universe and everything in it was created by God, with humans being created from God’s image. They also believe that all members of the Trinity “played a role in creation of the universe and mankind” (Weider and Gutierrez 65).
God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). He created the universe, and all that is in it, visible and non-visible, and He holds it all together (Colossians 1:16, 17). God takes pleasure in His creation and wants it to be fruitful. Psalm 104:31 says, “May the Lord rejoice in His works.” This is a fact that the Lord does and will continue to rejoice in His creation. Mankind was created in God’s image, with God’s breath.
