BIBLE 105-B15
Essay Question 1: Biblical Worldview

Biblical Worldview
Genesis chapters 1-11 depicts four great events that explains the creation of the heavens and the earth and all that is in them. The creation and the fall of man. It explains how sin enters into human nature and man loses his relationship with the creator. It tells how God judges man because of sin, although sending a great flood to destroy His creation, He preserves a remnant because of His compassion for what He had created. In this essay I will explain my worldview on how these events have impacted the natural world, human identity, human relationships and civilization. Chapter one of Genesis tells us that the earth and all that is in it exist because God said “let there be….” The earth, the sun, the moon, the stars, the fish in the ocean, the animals on the land, the birds in the air, even down to the creepy crawling things God said “let there be”. Then it tells us that God created man in His own image and gave him also a help mate and gave them dominion over all that He had created. The author tells us that God did all this in six days, and on the seventh day He rested and reviewed all His work and declared it to be good!
As I look around and notice all the trees, the flowers, beaches, oceans, watch a sunset or the rising of a full moon, all the things nature has to offer, I must agree with God that it is good. In fact, as I look around me the explanation given in Genesis chapter one is the only one that makes sense. The Holy Spirit within me confirms this explanation. The author says that God made man in His own image. That means I am somewhat intelligent and a big bang theory or theory of evolution insults the intelligence that God has ingrained in me as a part of Himself. God has given us so much of Himself and we have allowed the enemy(satin) to deceive us to the point we are lost even with the specific instruction manual that God has given us.

    I really enjoyed your writing on the use of debt and principles in light of the Biblical Worldview. The points your raised showed your knowledge of both very well. I particularly liked your point that while borrowing is frowned upon in the Bible, investing and working your money is encouraged. While there is much guidance in the Bible on management and usage of money, it can be confusing and seemingly contradictory. This is also reflective in business. Corporations do not choose to borrow for growth purposes lightly. There is much thought and analysis on the future benefits and risks to borrow before any loan papers are signed.…

    He created the sun, moon, stars, heaven, and hell. In the Genesis creation we are faced with a divine drama of the beginning that can only be understood through faith. How long did it really take? Are Gods days the same as ours or are they longer? These questions may never be answered in this life time, and are not the focus of the Genesis creation. It is more about the spiritual and moral revelations. Genesis 1:26, God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness..." In the creation of the world, this is the only time God refers to himself in the plural form. Then God took the man Adam, and the woman Eve, and placed them in the Garden of Eden to take care of it, and he told them to be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth (Genesis 1: 28). Then God commanded Adam and Eve saying, "Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die" (Genesis 2:16-17). The story continues with the devil, also known as the serpent, tricking Eve into eating from the forbidden tree and convincing her to get Adam to eat also. The result of them going against Gods commandment was being expelled from the Garden of Eden, and being forced to labor over the earth. Humans will experience pain and suffering, weeds, thorns, and…

    Often times, new believers are encouraged to read through the book of Romans. This is because Paul is able to break down essential aspects of the Christian life in a way that is both probing and encouraging. It covers aspects of the natural world, human identity, relationships, and culture. As with every word of the Bible, this book transcends time and culture and speaks as much in todays’ time as it did to the Roman church to who Romans was originally written. As believers in Christ, it is important to live these truths so that He may use our lives for His glory and honor.…

    This paper is a discussion on my worldview and my personal beliefs about God and creation. I will be contrasting it with a secular writing, the “Ransom of Red Chief” by writer O. Henry. I will discuss how I came to form these views, and defend each of my arguments with examples from the bible and similar writings. A quick summary of what I believe about God, creation, humankind, epistemology and ethics are as follows. I believe God is all powerful and all knowing, and loves his creation enough to sacrifice his son for it. I believe he made people in his image to worship him, and I believe we need a personal relationship with him to be saved. I believe we know things through looking at the bible and the world around us and using basic logic to tie it together. What I believe about ethics is that every person was created in God’s image and the world also created by him, so we must treat both respectfully and as God tells us to in the bible.…

    Now, the LORD God gave Adam some instructions, he told him that he may freely eat from any tree in the garden. However, he forbid Adam from eating from the Tree of knowledge of good and evil. He said “thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest therof thou shalt surely die.” (Gen. 2:17) The LORD God provided us with so many food options, he even realized that Adam would need help so, from the ground, he created “beasts of the field, and every fowl of the air” (Gen. 2:19). However, “for Adam there was not found any help meet for him” (Gen. 2:20).…

    The first four commandments focus on the relationship between man and God. They command man to revere God and worship Him only. Further, the Sabbath day should be honored as the day a man focuses on their creator. On the other hand, the other six, focus on the relationship between man and another. The emphasis is that people should live harmoniously with one another, thus eliminating vices such as murder, stealing, disrespect, adultery, coveting and bearing false witnesses (Exodus 20, King James Version).…

    There is currently a major dispute on whether or not the United States Constitution correlates with a Biblical worldview. When the founders wrote the Constitution they wrote it based on what had thrived within many previous civilizations and people groups such as the Roman, the Greek, and the Hebrew which happens to be, the Bible. Research shows that, the U.S. Constitution was written by deriving ideas from several different philosophers, and many principals and passages from the Bible.…

    The Book of Genesis can be described as a story, a historical account, or just as a written set of answers to questions that may seem unanswerable. Aside from which category this section of The Bible this may fall into, it has been one of the most influential texts of all time. For this reason, it is pivotal that we examine the text more closely in order to determine certain patterns which may lead to a valid interpretation of a book that has an infinite amount of interpretations. One of the most vital patterns to identify is the growth of God’s relationship with man. By analyzing the passages in The Book of Genesis and how they intertwine, one can see that the relationship is positively advancing in terms of trust and confidence.…
