Marcus Dillard 3/26/2015 Biblical Worldview Romans 1-8 Everyone has Biblical worldviews no matter what race or religion you are. A worldview is the framework of beliefs by a person’s views on the world around him. In common paralance, it is the grid through which a person interprets everything. For Christians it’s the Bible. Scripture is the grid through which believers view existence, truth, sin, salvation, ethics, and evil.
Christianity has organised its principal beliefs into a structured systematic theology in which it draws its sacred writings and traditions from. These principal beliefs include the divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ, the death and resurrection, the Trinity, revelation and salvation. Through the ethical and moral teachings of Christianity and characteristics of religions which consist of sacred texts and writings, rituals and ceremonies, beliefs and believers and ethics; these beliefs can be expressed and connected with the life of adherent’s. The divinity and humanity beliefs identify that Jesus Christ was both fully divine and human, and that he is the second being of the trinity.

This book gives an account of how Christians should believe and act as the way they do. The letter to the Romans was his work of art that summarized numerous essential Christian beliefs. Paul states, “I must tell the good news to everyone” (Romans 1:13-15).Through the works of Paul, one can gather insights into his approaches on the natural world, human identity, human relationship, culture, and an understanding of one’s
Looking to the Bible – specifically in Genesis – God says, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground” (CITE). This is the precursor establishing the ideology which sets humans above all living life on Earth.

We use the Earth as means of accomplishing our objectives with little regard for the consequence of those actions. The ideology of polytheism – notably that of the Sumerian’s Animism and India’s Hinduism - is a complete contrast to the concept’s laid forth in Christianity and Islam.
Also, ‘the angels are sons of God’, (Job 1:6 NIV, TLB), in a sense that they are His creation.” (Sleman 12).

Christians believe if they believe in the “son of God,” then they believe in God as a whole. Lastly, there is “God the Holy Spirit,” which is the power of God. Christians see that God gives life and he lives through His own spirit.

If we live with rose colored glasses on we will always see the world through them if we take them off and live as Jesus lived with the bible as our guide we can’t go wrong. One of the Ten Commandments that stick out in my mind at this point is do unto others as you would have them do unto
Theology The one, true God is one with whom we are able to interact. He has revealed Himself to His creation through both special and general revelation. Through general revelation, God reveals Himself through His creation (Psalm 19:1-6) and through His provision (Jeremiah 29:11). Through special revelation, God has revealed Himself through direct, tangible contact with human beings, most commonly seen through His son, Jesus. Additionally, God reveals Himself to His creation through His Word (John 1:1-18).
