Detailed Worldview Outline
Introduction: In this outline you will learn about who God is, and the nature of our universe. Does us living in this world have a purpose, or is it just wasting our time? Growing up we are set around a worldview of beliefs, and stories, and are set to believe that those are true. This world allows for a diversity of worldviews, but which one is correct or incorrect?

1. Who is God and what are His characteristics?
God is the creator of human beings and the ruler of our universe. God has many characteristics including being: independent, infinite, eternal, incomprehensible, supreme, sovereign, faithful, majestic, and promising.
2. What is a human being and what happens when you die?
A human being is mankind. After we die, we are promised an eternal life in heaven as long as we believe in God, and understand why his only son died on the cross for our sins, and rose up three days later.
3. What is the nature of the universe?
There are various views as to the nature of the world based on religion: dualism, monism, monistic theism, pantheism, pluralism, and theism. We are taught throughout different scriptures that God is the creator of our universe. God made sure that this universe had everything we needed to live a good life.
4. How do you know what you know? How do you know what is true?
Having a book, like the bible, is the means that we need to understand the truth. The bible makes distinctive truth claims. For instance, it claims, that God exists.
5. What is right and wrong or how can we know there is a right and wrong?
Quoting the bible allows us to prove that the Bible is true. To us the bible is a reliable document because it was recorded and transmitted through history. Even though the bible is a reliable source to most Christians, we will never really know if its completely true.
6. Is life pointless or is there purpose? Life is all

    “Over 3,000 times in Scripture the authors claim their message is from God” (Towns, p.4). Think about authors of any other work of literature. They always claim what they have written. If the human messengers of the Bible are conveying their own message or one of someone else and not the one from God, why would they not take the credit? Why say the Word being written is from God? As argued by Towns, “…when we find such phrases as ‘the word of the LORD came to me’ or ‘the mouth of the LORD has spoken…’ it is not unusual that God is claiming authorship of the Bible” (p.4). God wanted to make sure that no man could mistake the source of the Bible.…

    How do we tell wrong from right and right from wrong? When we make a choice is it based on our beliefs or what we value in life? As we move on with life, we never really think about all the choices we have made in our lifetime and sometimes we take those for granted. Making a decision can be compared to an example like having to pick which road we want to take. Left or right? We do not know where either will take us but when we make the decision and go through with the experience, we will realize if that was a generally good choice or not. Comparing life is as simple as having to pick what direction to go.…

    God is characterized as being a source of pure morality, the picture of utter goodness, as well as being all knowing and all powerful. In the bible it states “God created man in His own image…” (Genesis 1:27). We were created as God’s masterpiece; we were created in the image of him. The bible itself stands alone among religious books confirming what we have learned to be true from science, that the universe had an absolute beginning. (See Genesis 1:1, Genesis 2:3-4, Isaiah 42:5).…

    The authority of Scripture is a key issue for the Christian Church in this and every age. Those who profess faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are called to show the reality of their discipleship by humbly and faithfully obeying God's written Word. To stray from Scripture in faith or conduct is disloyalty to our Master. Recognition of the total truth and trustworthiness of Holy Scripture is essential to a full grasp and adequate confession of its authority.…

    When thinking about my view of the world, there is a jumble of different philosophies, beliefs, and ideas going on in my head. There is so much to take into consideration, and it seems that everything is connected but also scattered in a way that it is hard to really be able to dig deep and explain on paper what my worldview is. After many headaches and deep thoughts, I boiled it down to the things that I could not get out of my head. No matter how hard I tried, I could not get rid of these thoughts when thinking about what to say. These key parts of my worldview are that I believe in the theory of evolution and the big bang theory, not that God created Earth. I believe there is not a higher figure that determines where you go when you die. I also believe in a person’s right to make choices regarding their own life. Although my values and beliefs may have been shaped from the people around me, I feel that I have values and beliefs that are truly my own and are not what other’s want me to value and believe in.…
