Biblical Worldview: The Natural World From The Book Of Romans

Superior Essays
Introduction
From my experiences, Biblical worldview is simply viewing the aspects of the world from a biblical standpoint. When talking with people that has accepted Christ as their Savior, it is apparent that their perspective of the world automatically changes. The acceptance of Christ as a Savior is the first step, but one must gain an understanding of their salvation and receive guidance through God 's Word . The Lord gave His Word to equip us with the much needed instructions for this present life. The book of Romans, authored by the apostle Paul, is one of his most theological writing and is indeed an instructional book that is easily applicable and pertinent in this day and age. (Hindson & Towns, 2013) From the book of Romans, we can receive instruction on the viewing of this present world through a Biblical and Christian perspective.

The Natural World
In verses 19-20 of chapter one, Paul speaks of the creation of this world. When considering how life began, there are only two options. Either life was created by an intelligent source (God) or it began by natural processes (Ham,2005). In

The world views change as an improvement; most Christians can agree that change has only gone from bad to worse. The only comfort Christians can maintain is that God 's Word never changes. Paul is quick to remind the church of Rome that this time of wickedness will fade in the beauty of God 's promise. "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us" (Romans 8:18). It is through these extreme changes and challenges culture brings up, that we as Christians must constantly maintain our Biblical Worldview and standards even when we are faced with non-Biblical Worldviews.. The Lord provided His children with the essential instruments to endure during these testing times of our faith, our job is to simply apply them in our

    I really enjoyed reading your post and certainly agree that biblical worldview integration is more than merely injecting a scripture verse randomly in a lesson. To your point, “relating scripture to real-time events and subject will make the lesson relevant and relatable” (MacCullough M. , 2006). Furthermore, with today’s classrooms being more diverse than ever before, learning about our student’s cultural backgrounds will give insight into their beliefs regarding faith, which will aid in implementing a well-rounded lesson that allows teachers to successfully integrate a biblical worldview seamlessly. While, it may seem easier to accomplish this in Christian schools, along with integrating Biblical worldview into lessons teacher can also integrate…

However, this is not true; a man’s worldview determines his every act! (Overman) Hitler for example, believed that Jews, disabled people, and elderly people were worthless; he thought that he could make a perfect world.…

    Since Darwin first published his groundbreaking theory of evolution, the origin of life has long been a controversial topic for scholars. For theists, they hold the idea that Darwin’s evolution theory fails to explain how first living organism comes from. They believe that failure to show how the fist living organism occurs implies that there is a creator for life who is God.

Later, study shows that there are several flaws in Miller’s experiment thus fails to show the natural procedure for chemicals to form living organisms.…
