Be sure you answer both Part 1 and Part 2 of this assignment before submitting.

Part 1: Core Worldview Beliefs

Based on the basic components of worldview presented in Chapter 2 and the topic overview, write a response to each of the six questions that form the basic components of your own core worldview beliefs. Respond to the questions about your own beliefs in your own words, and not necessarily what you think the Christian worldview believes. Keep this document intact and only add your answers in the box under each question.

1. What is your belief about the nature of ultimate reality? Why? Your answer in two to three sentences:

I hold a worldview of theism. I believe in a God that created man, and cares for and communicates with man. God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are ultimate reality.

2. What is your belief about the nature of the universe? Why? Your answer in two to three sentences:

I believe that the nature of the universe is a part of God’s creation of the universe and all parts thereof. God is separate from his creation. God rules over his creation. The creation of the universe is a gift from God, ruled by God. God is transcendent.

3. What is your belief about human nature and the afterlife? Why? Your answer in two to three sentences:

Human nature is the free will of mankind. Free will to do and believe as one pleases is a gift from God. Free will does have consequences that result in the afterlife. Life does not end here as we know it. There is a heaven, which is where all live for eternity, who have followed and obeyed God and his divine word. Hell is a place of eternal punishment for those who reject God and his offer of love, life, and most important of all, the main key, Christ. Jesus

4. What are the three worldview (atheism, pantheism, theism) beliefs about the nature of knowledge? Which one best fits your belief? Why?

5. What is your basis for determining moral right from moral wrong? Why? Your answer in two to three sentences:

As a Christian I rely on the holy word of God, the bible, as a guide to ethics, and morals, however not all see this the same way. Jesus Christ, his life is the model for ethics. Jesus is the Christ, he is the way. Jesus gives a guide to proper behavior and attitudes.

6. What is your belief about human purpose? Why? Your answer in two to three sentences:

In my point of view, the goal of human existence is to achieve happiness and contentment so that one might consider their pursuit of purpose. The purpose is also dependent on whether individuals are only focusing on the physical world or also broaden their horizon to include what will happen after they have died in the physical world. We know that we human beings need to go through the human life cycle including: birth, growth, sickness & death. Some people believe there is no other chapter of life after we were dead - just like the lighted candle being put off & nothing can be done.

Part 2: Evaluation

1. Your answers to the questions in Part 1 form the basis of your worldview. Now that you have articulated your worldview, evaluate it according to the practical test described in Chapter 2 of the textbook and the topic overview. Which of the three worldviews most closely matches your core beliefs as you answered in Part 1? Does your worldview pass the practical test for livability? Why or why not? Provide a clear explanation of the workability and practical value in the most important areas of life and experience. Your answer in 200-300 words:

The worldview that relates most with my core beliefs would be Theism. Theism is the belief in a personal and relational God who created and sustains all that exists. I believe in one God, and that my God created man, Heaven and Earth. I believe that my worldview of Theism does pass the practical test for livability. Having faith and believing in Christ brings personal satisfaction within itself. Philippians 4-13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. The verse urges me as a Christian to put my trust in Christ my savior and Lord who helps me in all the things I do.

2. Reflect on your current understanding of the Christian faith. In other words, what is the essence of the Christian worldview? How does one become a Christian? Your response will need to articulate your understanding of Christian beliefs and does not require you to believe it. Your answer in 200-300 words:

To become a Christian, is quite simple. You must believe that you are loved and accepted by God. He created you, you may feel unloved and unworthy but know that God loves all of his children no matter what. It is not important how we come to Christ, but that we come to Christ before it is too late. The Bible teaches us that all humans are sinners and have sinned. You must admit and acknowledge your sins so that you can move forward in your faith in Christianity of becoming a Christian. Commit your life to Christ, you must lay down the worldly life of sin and relinquish all control to him
