Imago Dei's Creation Report

Decent Essays
The nature that humans have from the Christian wordview can best be described as Imago Dei which means the image of God. This is because the creation narrative that is found in the book of Genesis shows that both male and female were created in the image of God and thus were the pinnacle of his creation. The nature of humans also played a role when it came to the purpose mankind had since their purpose was to have God at the center of their lives and worship him. Originally this is what happened during the fellowship in the garden since they had a perfect relationship with God and were able to interact with him personally. However, this all changed during the fall of humanity since it had a widespread impact on the humans. Sin became a part

This correlates with the idea that it is in our nature as humans to react a certain way towards nature. With our minds, we can send signals to our bodies to express an emotion, experience birth and death, and to engage with other people rather that act with an instinct. We react with rational thinking, which characterizes us as being human.…

    The nature of humanity is born to be evil. Mencius believes that nature is good, but Thomas Hobbes and Hsun Tzu helped me come to the conclusion of why we are so evil. It is human nature to do as we please even if it is not the best thing to do. Although, we are taught to love others we overpower it by our evilness. The nature of humans are evil because we are sinful, everyone wants to be better than someone else, and we are influenced by our environment around us.…

    Sin isn’t as appealing to us any longer and when we do fall and sin, it doesn’t feel the same as it did in the past before we were changed.

The life of the viator following entire sanctification is shown in the sermon The New Creation, “But what change will the element of water undergo when all things are made new!…

With the use of Sire’s eight fundamental questions I would like to compare and contrast the Pre-Modern thoughts of the Christian Theistic worldview to the Modern thoughts of the Naturalistic worldview. Beginning with Sire’s first question “what is prime reality-the really…
