The Impact of a Christian Worldview Everyone has a worldview whether it is recognized or not. Our worldview dictates how we live our lives in everything that we say and do in our world today. Examining our personal worldview is important to understanding what motivates us and identifying where we might need to make adjustments so that our worldview lines up with what God has purposed for us. With so many worldviews in the world today, we will consider the impact of the Christian worldview on our…

I will argue that Descartes, using his own criteria for making and avoiding mistakes, cannot be making a mistake when he proves the existence of God in meditation three in his Meditations on First Philosophy. I will develop my argument in two parts. First, I will present Descartes’s argument for how mistakes are made and avoided. Second, I will present Descartes’s first proof for the existence of God in the third meditation, and in the process present the steps clearly and distinctly, exactly…

Structural Relationships of Romans 8:1-17 Structural Relationships: Recurrence: “Law” Language Law of the Spirit of life in Christ (v 2)/ Law of sin and death (v 2)/ Law (v 3)/ Just requirement of the Law (v 4)/ God”s Law (v 7) Paul makes it clear that the the good news is still supported by law; it is not an anarchical system where people can do whatever they want, and God acts arbitrarily. Once the Jew relied upon the written law of Moses, Paul shows here that there is still law, it just…

I have never heard of animism before, but upon reading your explanation I can see how the movie “Avatar” fits into its’ definition. Looking at this movie from a Biblical perspective evokes much you can find wrong with the animism view. This movie reminds me of what Charry describes in “Inquiring after God through Art” when she states, “Art for art’s sake overwhelmed the older notion that art appropriately leads people to God and righteousness. Art came to be focused on forms and techniques of…

does Genesis 1-11 inform our Christian worldview? The first eleven chapters of Genesis begin with the Creation account, from then we go to the Garden of Eden and the first sin, which leads to the fall of man. From there we go from Adam to Noah, the wrath of God over the wickedness of man, the flood, which leads to the covenant of the rainbow, the Tower of Babel and the genealogy of Abram’s family. These first chapters are the basis of the rest of the Christian worldview, in other…

In this part of the chapter, the author examines the principle of law and constancy. The author begins by noting how the creationist view, even espoused in some ways by such pivotal thinkers as Issac Newton to think of there being some definite order, or framework of rules we know as laws of nature, established by what could (in their minds) only be a god (albeit in a time where science was in its infancy and so other ways of contemplating order in the universe hadn’t been developed besides the…

In the first passage, proposed by Rene Descartes in his sixth meditation, the argument is circulated around the ideal that the mind, being a thinking thing, is separately existing from the body, being an extended thing. The notion of a "clear and distinct perception" is also formed by stating that if God exists, it is incompatible with his nature that he can deceive due to the conception that God is a supremely perfect being. This is developed as the theory of dualism which, by the dependence of…

Introduction The teachings of Gita contain the cream of the Vedas and Upanishads. Therefore those read Gita carefully need not to read all Vedas and Upanishad. Gita is a universal scripture message of which is universally applicable anywhere, anytime and at any place. One should not forget basic knowledge given in Gita therefore he/she should recite it every day. It means one should always remain connected with this supreme reality. All religious teachings ask people to remain connected with…

Scott Sturgeon, the author of “Philosophy: The Great Debate”, talks about philosophy and the existence of God. Sturgeon states that every culture believes in a different God. He mentions that people always believed that there is more in life than everything we see and touch. Sturgeon asked us many questions whether God exists because of a psychological defense-mechanism or because of a common experience for all humans that led them to believe in God? Sturgeon talked about Theism which means the…
