Improved Essays
Perhaps as a believer in God and a disciple of Jesus Christ, it is paramount to look at others views and perspectives on the subject such as the origins of nature and the Universe, or perhaps, where do we as humans come from and what happens after death. These among other questions are imperative to have an answer to.

My worldview is as simple as how I see my surroundings in conjunction with the set of values about basic aspects of reality that ground and persuades all my perceiving, philosophy and understanding as well as my actions. In addition to that, as Dr. Lew Weider, a Professor at Liberty University mentioned on the video presentation. “A Biblical worldview is a persons’ own philosophy of life.” Personally, I loved how he illustrated

So I have decided to present it through one of my favorite passages from the Bible, the preface to the Gospel according to John the Apostle (John 1:1 There is currently considerable debate among between the secular and Christians as to who God really is, however, let me express how I view God in my own world. Perhaps, one can star from the beginning. A literal interpretation of Genesis 1 may in fact be accurate, but it is not essential to right understanding. Furthermore, I found myself agreeing more and more with Bruce Waltke who states that the Genesis creation account is a literary-artistic representation of a Creator, One who designed accordingly to His knowledge and intelligent. Waltke continues by stating that the creation account of Genesis is not a scientific account, nevertheless, because an intelligent being created it is consistent with …show more content…

And this is what I believe with all of my heart. God is the center of all neither the creation; neither humans nor any created beings and even the nature is or will take the place of

    Many people don’t know what they want to be when they “grow up”, as for my mother she didn’t know what type of religion she wanted to be in when she “grew up”. However, she did know the basics that she believed in which was God, the Holy Spirit, his son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Bible that being said she considered herself Christian and raised me as a Non-Denominational Christian. That was until my senior year of High School when my mom decided she no longer wanted to be part of the Non-Denominational Christian faith and switched over to becoming part of the LDS faith known as the Mormons and flipped my life upside-down with their different views of norms and values. Growing up Non-Denominational Christian is fairly simple faith and to me…

    This world was created by God, the Father-Mother and Great I AM, since time immemorial. The Christian Scientist conception of God is a bit more nebulous than that of traditional Christianity. God isn 't seen necessarily as a distinct being. Rather, according to Mary Baker Eddy, “All is [the] infinite Mind [of God] and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all” (Christian Science, “What is Christian Science?”). Christian Science doctrine stresses the infiniteness of God, who is the Creator and Sustainer of mankind.…

    Modern scientific thought includes many theories pertaining to the origins of the world, especially the evolution of man. The Old Testament gives correct instruction and starts with the wonder of God’s work as it directly relates to people. First, God made our world (Genesis 1:1-25), next he created us (Genesis 1:26-27). There is no better explanation of what we are and that we are beholden to our Creator.…

    I believe that “in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth,” and more importantly, created us the human beings. It was through taking 2 years of Sports Science that I’ve truly realized and was astonished by how powerful and magnificent God’s creations are. Let’s take our bodies for an example. Our eyes capture panoramas that no other high-tech cameras can; our motor units allow our muscles to work with great strength or precision; our intelligence allow us to think, create, and innovate things that no other species can. No matter how advance or complicated a machine may be, never will it be able to comparable to the level of complexity in a human body.…

    While there are a plethora of beliefs about how creation of the world came to be; there is no doubt that its creation reflects a part of the image of God. In this paper I will argue according to Athanasius, both salvation and creation represent the duality of the divine and human within Jesus Christ. One of the first arguments that Athanasius makes to prove this is to link Jesus to the creation of the world. The first step of this process is to first discredit the other beliefs about how the world came to be from the Epicureans, Plato, and the Gnostics. For Athanasius this is a crucial step as it establishes the foundation to the dual nature of christ.…
