1. Postmodernism is characterized by the belief that truth is relative and there is more
than one way to God, dependent upon one’s cultural understanding of God. Does
Postmodernism conflict with a biblical worldview?
In fact, a biblical worldview is not in conflict with Postmodernism because both
affirm the importance of individual faith and subjectivity.
Postmodernism conflicts with a biblical worldview because it is unclear as to the
nature and personality of God and affirms cultural relativism over a position of
absolute truth.
Insofar as Postmodernism rejects the importance of cultural values, it rejects a
biblical worldview.
Postmodernism rejects secularism, so it is in perfect agreement with a biblical
worldview.

1. Which of the positions below would best represent a biblical perspective on criminal
justice policy?
In the New Covenant with Christ, we are called to love and forgive our enemies;
therefore, the State should no longer punish criminals.
The biblical model for criminal justice is in keeping with a direct application of what
is seen in the Old Testament under Mosaic Law.
Criminals must be punished in order to protect citizens. The State is divinely
mandated to do this.
Because of the biblical understanding of sin, we are reminded that the State must
punish criminals but that the State itself can be unjust in doing so.

All this happened to Nebuchadnezzar the king. Twelve months later he was walking
on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon. The king reflected and said, ‘Is this not
Babylon the great, which I myself have built as a royal residence by the might of my
power and for the glory of my majesty?’ While the word was in the king’s mouth, a
voice came from heaven, saying, ‘King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared:
sovereignty has been removed from you, and you will be driven away from mankind,
and your dwelling place will be with the beasts of the field. You will be given grass to
eat like cattle, and seven periods of time will pass over you until you recognize that
the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and bestows it on whomever He
wishes. ’Immediately the word concerning Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled; and he was
driven away from mankind and began eating grass like cattle, and his body was
drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers and
his nails like birds’ claws.
Which of the following governmental principles can be inferred from this passage?

1. Many worldviews, both religious and philosophical, would contend that racism is
wrong. The strongest reason from a biblical worldview, that opposes racist ideology
would be:
We should just treat people the way we want to be treated.
There are governing laws against using racist words and actions, and the Bible is
clear that we should obey the laws of the land (society or government).
All humanity was created in the “image or likeness of God” and therefore all
humanity, regardless of what one might define as “race” have equal value.
We all live on this planet together, and we need to get along with each other to be
successful.

have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we
walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the
blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin,
we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful
and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say
that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us” (King James
Version). According to the Scripture, why does mankind need salvation?

1. An exponential function is one that grows faster and faster as the exponential
variable grows larger. Money that is invested grows exponentially with time, which
means that it grows faster and faster the longer that it is invested. How does this
apply to saving money for a future time when you will be too old to work?
The exponential nature of investing money makes saving easy. There is no need to
start early.
The longer you save, the less you need to save each month and a few years delay
makes a huge difference in how much a person needs to save each month. Start
saving as early as you can.
The exponential nature of saving money has minimal impact on the outcome of any
savings plan.
The difference in saving money starting at age 25 versus starting saving at age 45 is
easily manageable.
