John 17:3 says that God wants to have a personal intimate relationship with man through His Son, Jesus Christ. What is right and wrong and how should I live? Right and wrong is based upon God’s holy standard, not
CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW Introduction Every individual has a worldview whether they realize it or not. A person’s worldview can be Christian, secular, or a combination of both. To fully understand Christian Worldview it is important to understand what worldview means in general and to also have an idea of what secular worldview means (Christianworldview.net). The Bible states, “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon” (Matthew 6:24 KJV).
In detail we will discuss the relationship between inspiration and inerrancy. And then, before concluding this paper we will discuss how the answers to these questions provide structure to how we as Christians should live our lives. To a Christian who has accepted God as their personal Lord and Savior the Bible has authority. The same should not be said for someone who hasn’t made that confession. As a Christian we have accepted that the Bible contains the true Word of God written by apostles who received divine inspiration to guide the recorded works.
How can one share that which has not been adequately learned? And why would one who has total assurance of all that is in God’s word, be afraid to hold it up to any challenge or other worldview? Faith in the God of truth can be defended as truth, unashamedly from any attack. “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer, to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.
Man was created with moral and spiritual capacities, among other things, from God so that we may understand our identity as His creation. “Theists believe that the purpose of mankind is to know God” (Weider & Gutierrez, 2011, p. 60). The Bible, according to Christians, is just one tool through which God speaks to man. In John 17:3 and Leviticus 19:37 we see just a few examples of God’s purpose for mankind. God also has standards for man regarding morality and/or ethics.
The Bible is the basis for many major Christian beliefs; it is used in the liturgy of Christianity; it is the basis for prayer and it provides the guidelines for the behaviour of Christians. It is particularly in the context of sacramental liturgy or worship that the Bible is viewed as as important and sacred, for it is here where Christians celebrate the Eucharist, Mass and Lordʼs Supper. The Bible teaches them about the nature of God and the ministry and teachings of Jesus. Through the Bible, the basis of Christian Belief is interpreted and accepted by the adherents. The Bible teaches and illustrates Christian key beliefs and ideas.
Christian Education is a part of God’s purpose to put everything in Creation under the feet of Christ; it serves as part of His purpose to subdue people from all nations to the glory of God. I also think a Christian Education is a better education, because it feed the soul as well as the mind. It addresses the whole human being; it involves the body, sprit and the mind. One important goal of Christian Education is to teach the student to reason biblically. If each adult person or the parents of younger student took it upon themselves to be more Christ-like and build their foundation of education to glorify God, they would choose the Christian Education over the Public Education, which is controlled by the state.

BIBL 110 B09 9/18/2014 Biblical Worldview Essay The book of Romans is a story that tells us more about how God wants his people to live in the ages of sin without partaking in actions that are not within the Gospel. The Christian lifestyle is broken into many different aspects in life. These different views consist of the natural world, our identity as disciples of the lord, the relationships that we partake in and even our culture of life. The many things that we can participate in our daily lives is exactly where we need to put our focus in. This is where the reference of Romans comes into play.
But also Absolutism does not take other situation into consideration, things change and people change, so should the rules change as well? Personally, I think that they need to be amended; this could cause even worse conflicts than they are in this day and age, although it might be necessary, Common sense isn’t that common. An example of the Absolute theory is the Divine law theory; this is all stated in the bible, it dictates what’s good and what’s bad, according to the will of God. Everything we do, has the question behind it: Does it follow the will of God? This is the question absolutes ask before making any decisions.
