Professor Michele Pasley Worldview Essay My worldview is how I live my life according to certain beliefs, morals, and values. As it states in (Cosgrove, 2006) a worldview is a set of assumptions, or presuppositions, that are generally unconsciously held but affect how we think and live (pg.20)”. For me to be aware of my worldview will help me make right decisions in life. Analyzing the assumptions, addressing questions all align with a Christian worldview. Worldview Assumptions At the start of CWV-101 I had a few assumptions. First assumption was that this course would try and talk me out of my religion. My second assumption was that everyone believed in God. The third assumption was that going to church and reading the Bible makes you a Christian. My final assumption was that I thought everyone desired eternal life. These few assumptions make up my worldview. Questions and Answers from my own worldview perspective
Who is God and what are his Characteristics? God is the creator and master of this entire universe. Because of God we all have life, and all things are possible. I believe that God do exist and he is real. I believe in Jesus Christ his son, as well as the Holy Spirit.”God is a merciful God, and he will not leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 4:31)”. “God is my strength and makes my way perfect (2 Samuel 22:23)”. What is a Human Being and what happens when one dies? Human beings are creations from God, created from the image of God. Humans are formed as temples of Gods. Humans are controlled by their minds, and they daily emotions. Humans do have free will, life after death will depend on their own free will choices. “ quote here “ What is the Nature of the Universe? The universe was created from our God; he created this universe with a purpose filled life (Lecture, 3). The universe has been designed to be for human habitat for all life God
