The Biblical worldview of the natural world can be summed up with the verse, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3: 23). Human Identity Man’s identity was to be the ruler over all things on earth (Genesis 1: 28-30), but man’s sin made him unrighteous (Tinsley 2014). Paul declares all humans to be unrighteous, both Jews and Gentiles, in the following quote. “What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage?
It is founded in God, Who did not only create the Ten Commandments, but He is the standard and the law. God allowed sin to come into the world. He did not create it, yet He created the possibility of it. God cannot sin nor even be tempted by sin. He is so holy, just, and full of grace that He had to send His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for these sins and humans’ depraved condition.
This was suggested as naïve optimism and unrealistic by anti-transcendentalists. They though that people who desired complete individualism would give rise to the worst aspects of human nature. Hawthorne in his story shows that relying on one’s self is a type of evil. An initial reading may show this tale to be about the idea that sin is in all men’s hearts and that there is a universal desire to keep it hidden. However much we may want others to be transparent, it is impossible because everyone wears a veil.
The consequences of the sin of Adam, was that all humans and angels fell and became separate from God and Adam’s sin is seminally present in all humanity, because we all originate from him. Also because of the angelic fall, natural evil was created because of the disharmony created in nature from some Angels going against God .Augustine says that the only solution to come back to God and remove original sin is to follow Christianity. This is where humans have a choice to accept Christ and God or reject it, this is a soul deciding choice. If humans choose to reject Christ then they will go to Hell and are morally evil because they have a lack of good in them to follow Christ. If humans choose to follow Christ they will go to heaven.

I would have chosen to do this crime and I should be held responsible. The Traditional View of Human Nature is similar to the romantic view regarding good vs. evil except it’s not fashionable but more widely-held. The vision of Dr. Jekyll was to create a race of angels (human beings) with a desire to only do good. According to the reading his experiment failed and the small spot in his soul grew and grew until he was completely possessed. Jekyll was pure evil and in return became the infamous Mr. Hyde.
‘The Crucible’ is a play that demonstrated the human abuse of power and ability to manipulate weakness to achieve their own goals. Throughout the play, the church, the court, and citizens abuse power. Power is rooted by greed, and to receive their desires the people of Salem accuse and allow innocent people to be convicted, tried, and killed. Salem was a very religious town, and because of this their court of law had a foundation from the bible and made no exceptions besides that. “This is a court of law.
Augustine believes that evil is a ‘privation of good’ not an entity in itself. If the world was good when God created it, where did the evil come from? Augustine believes evil was a result of angels who turned away from God, misused their free will and tempted Adam and Eve, which is the origin of moral evil. Augustine reasoned that all humans are worthy of the punishment of evil and suffering because we are “seminally present in the loins of Adam”’ deserving of the punishment for original sin.
This clearly states that the sins of one’s society affects every member of the society even though it may affect them in different ways. The American culture is seemed to be either naturalists or supernaturalistic about our worldview opinions of God. Naturalist individuals believe that there is no such thing as God; they believe that science should take full credit for everything that has happened in the world and for our beautiful universe. They believe the man is the creator of all things good and bad in our world. They also believe that there is no force greater than man and the man is the creator of the world.
What?? “Man was created as broken a labor tool for the use of gods and at the end of everyone’s life lays the underworld, a generally dreary place” (Rachels and Rachels). This statement alone show that man is no better than woman and how can they just simply deny woman a voice. Truth did not let how she looked, get in the way of her fighting for equality among women, it only made her stronger. She was a firm believer in the bible and she hoped that one day that the equality among men and women would prevail.
