Name

Part 1

After reading Chapter 2 in the textbook and the lecture for this topic, write a two- to three-sentence answer to each of the six questions that form the basic components or personal commitments for your worldview. Answer the questions about your own beliefs in your own words, not what you think the Christian worldview believes. Keep this worksheet intact and only add your answers under each question.

1. What is your belief about ultimate reality? As a Christian I believe in only one god. I believe that god is an on-time god and he is the one person I know I can always depend on.

2. What is your belief about the nature of the universe? My belief about the nature of the universe I feel like it is a spiritual part in the universe. The nature of the universe can be described as physical laws.

3. What is your belief about human nature and the afterlife? I agree that “humans are made of bodies and souls.” (Naugle, 2002) (Samples, 2007) I believe there is an afterlife after we all go to heaven, I believe we will all come back together in reunite.

4. What is your belief about knowledge? I feel like it is important to have knowledge about god, but people do fall short in god still loves the same. I feel like if god know a person is struggling with knowledge, he will give the person knowledge in a way that they understand.

5. What is your basis of ethics? Ethics is a moral value of what I learned from my parents when growing up, it is a structured way of narrowing my decisions down from right and wrong.

6. What is your purpose? My purpose for taking this class is, because I had to in order to get started on my degree, but most of all I want to be able to gain more knowledge about god.

Part 2

Answer the following two questions with a 250-550-word response for each.

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 lecture. Can you live your worldview out in the world as we know it? Why or why not?

Yes, I will live my worldview out in this world, however, I may slip up at times in do things that I know that I’m not supposed to do, but I know I serve a forgiving God. The scary part about living my worldview is because I know that it is people out in the world who has a different worldview as I do in if I encounter a person with a different belief they might not see eye to eye with me, so I will just have to be careful
