What is a Christian worldview?
-
What is a Christian worldview? I want to understand more about the local christians' opinions (perhaps from experts and guru) about Christian worldview. CE and MC or any experts may want to comment. Icemoon I miss your comments ...

Your source of 'Christian Worldview'?
Cheers -
Type CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW at your explorer and you can get tons of stuff. I do not wish to put links here as I do not have time to vet to any of them.
Maybe you can start by stating what you think. -
I'm asking for your opinions hey....

Hi happyharvest,
Like what I PMed you a few weeks/months ago, though you are here to seek opinions, it will be good for you to post some of your opinions too. Don't be afraid that people will disagree. It is only then you will know what to accept and what to reject.
There are many threads started asking a seemingly question but it sometimes turn out to be a flame bait. Or people waiting to add fuel to fire will jump in. This is especially common in forums that touch on 'sensitive' subjects.
So please feel free to speak your opinions first. It's too vague to start a meaningful discussion. -
But what if in the first place I dun have any opinions on it? Blank.Originally posted by sillyme:Hi happyharvest,

Then it shouldn't bother you in the first place.Originally posted by happyharvest:But what if in the first place I dun have any opinions on it? Blank. -
I find it very funny. A Christian without his own worldviews & you say dont bother? Then what is a Christian worldview then?Originally posted by Chin Eng:Then it shouldn't bother you in the first place. -
Thanks for replying. I was worry that you would ignore me forever.Originally posted by Chin Eng:Then it shouldn't bother you in the first place.
If you do not know anything about something and when your non-christian friends ask you, does it bother you that you do not know at all? -
If one does not an opinion about something, than that something should not bother this person. I did not say we should not be bothered by it. Well, I am glad you found it funny, hope you had a good laugh.Originally posted by John The Baptist:I find it very funny. A Christian without his own worldviews & you say dont bother?

No not really? Afterall I do not claim that I am a know it all... If the topic interest me I may do some research with credible sources. If it does not interest me or if I think it is beyond me, I probably don't have an answer and move on.Originally posted by happyharvest:If you do not know anything about something and when your non-christian friends ask you, does it bother you that you do not know at all?
As sillyme had once adviced to you, state your case clearly if you do not wish to be misunderstood. In this case, I am sure you have an opinion of what a Christian worldview is, be it a personal one or a organsational one. Even as you claim to be a young Christian, I am sure you have an opinion as what a Christian is, what is the world that surrounds this Christian and his reaction and respond to this world. -
Unker, thanks for replying.Originally posted by Chin Eng:Then it shouldn't bother you in the first place.
Will look into soon. This topic doesn't seem to ring a bell in my knowledge.

there is no shame in claiming "i dont know". being honest is better than trying to be anything esle.

Haiz.

Chin Eng,
Can't seem to find credible source about this subject from the net.
It seems like a new movement/idea.
You know when it started?
The closest to this term i've heard was 10/40 windows, praying for the world events and happenings.
Cheers -
what's that.. first time heard of it
-
Me also...Originally posted by dumbdumb!:what's that.. first time heard of it

The articles and explainatories are doubtful.
Well, i think we wait for HappyHarvest to reveal what it is, since he knows most things he ask. -
aiya .. if you are a christian you surely have a worldview one .. the decisions you are making every day depend on your worldview to a certain extent. I understand sometimes it is difficult to explain to non believers.Originally posted by happyharvest:Thanks for replying. I was worry that you would ignore me forever.

I recommend (I downloaded last time) the audio lectures by Dr Ron Nash:
Apologetics
Advanced Worldview Analysis
These lectures were given at Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando, Florida (isn't that where Disneyland is located??). Dr Nash himself is a baptist and he is a philosopher by training.
PS: They changed the website .. last time can just download the files directly .. it should still be free to register now. -
No lah. Not a new movement per se.Originally posted by M©+square:Chin Eng,

Wikipedia (which I do not consider as an authority in anything other than being a good read) defines it as:
1. Most commonly, a number of unique Christian worldviews held by those referring to themselves as Christian;
2. Alternatively, the common elements of all Christian worldviews;
3. Most rarely, a single "Christian worldview" on the full range of issues, in which all views differing from the "Christian worldview" are seen as "non-Christian" or "sub-Christian."
There are tons of sites when you type in either "Christian Worldview" or "Definition of Christian Worldview". I had previously stated that I will not provide any links because I am uncertain of these sites' theology.
In reality, even before reading up wikipedia, I have concluded that there is not one universal Christian worldview (ie point 3 above).
I just wish that the thread starter can do some prior research instead of just dumping the question here in EH. This is especially so when one is questioning his own faith. -
uh... so u mean a worldview is like a common understanding or belief between a group or an organization across the world?
-
I get that idea from website lar. I dun want to be accuse of getting "inaccurate" infor from website lo. Also no point using that as my opinions right? So juz coming here to see the opinions of individual christian's view here lo. Never know can spark so many commotions.Originally posted by Chin Eng:No not really?

Also, you seem to like to jump to conclusion some(or many) things hor... Nvm lar.... no time to explain much...
