What is worldview? can you enlighten me? can we look at a world map?Originally posted by happyharvest:But what if in the first place I dun have any opinions on it? Blank. -
so whats a wolrdview in the first place?Originally posted by Chin Eng:No lah. Not a new movement per se.
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. -
We all jump to conclusions when there is nothing to fall back on. You have a tendency to make one statement without providing the background. Sometimes you seem to want to learn, other times you just want to be entertained. If you want people to understand you correctly, please be clear.Originally posted by happyharvest: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.
Also, you seem to like to jump to conclusion some(or many) things hor... Nvm lar.... no time to explain much...
No lah.... I only teach one month every quarter year. My own kids? nope! We are all having fun at home.
Entertainers, please do your jobs.

I do not come to EH to be entertained, for that there's always Chit Chat, Bar or the movie forum.

1. The overall perspective from which one sees and interprets the world.Originally posted by laurence82:so whats a wolrdview in the first place?
2. A collection of beliefs about life and the universe held by an individual or a group.

Sometimes I do not want to give too much background is because it may be some personal stuff or something I do not want to tell you all mah. Okay, I understand you are a careful person, so next time I try to be clear as possible. But then, some of the questions is quite clearcut. No need to provide too much background. Just a Q&A. I don't understand. Commenting them can be so difficult mah?
I don't think I ask questions to be entertained ba. Only in giving some stupid comments, maybe you can consider that.
For that remarks I make, just a joke lar. Just being playful... Sorry if that offend you.
Anyway, peace lar. I don't want to waste my energy arguing these things lar.

Consider this HH,
I am dissecting this entire thread.... (at least the first few)
Note 1: Your question.
Note 2 and 3: MC and my respond, asking you to clarify. No issues here.
Note 4 and 5: You still don't answer answer our questions. Not even a statement to say you have no opinion.
Note 6: I'd consider this to be a gem of a reply by our venerable mod, sillyme. Apparently I (or MC) are only ones with trying to understand where you are coming from. Take heed his advice!
Understand that I have made an attempt to find out what you are thinking. You are just not providing an answer. Much like trying to pry open an oyster. How many times must a man ask a question before an answer be given?Originally posted by happyharvest:Since my questions or comments may be ambiguous, then don't jump to conclusions lo. Try to learn more about it before saying something about that person.... It is a skill to be learn, perhaps ba...
Difficult. Because I don't know where you are coming from. You have time and again call some of us (experts, though I think I am not). If you have a problem (medical or psychological), wouldn't the experts (the doctors) want to know as much as possible? Is it wrong thento ask for more facts before commenting? But after a couple of notes, the explanation (albeit even a simple one will do) does not materialise, one can only guess. The situation for asking the question can determine how the answer be given. Know this!Originally posted by happyharvest:Sometimes I do not want to give too much background is because it may be some personal stuff or something I do not want to tell you all mah.

Well, I am not sure when you are serious and when you are not. I guess this another area to be learned too.Originally posted by happyharvest:I don't think I ask questions to be entertained ba. Only in giving some stupid comments, maybe you can consider that.
Yup P.E.A.C.E - PLEASE EXPLAIN ALL, CONFUSION EXPLODES!Originally posted by happyharvest:For that remarks I make, just a joke lar. Just being playful... Sorry if that offend you.

I really have no idea why the word "peace" is abbreciated. I can only assume it means something, but I am too afraid to guess. I guess asking an answer from you wll be quite futile -

I am speechless ... LOL ...
Does Christians love to do all these things? That means me also.. but trying to avoid that and have been aoviding .. ... pointless...
BTW, the P.E.A.C.E is just to make it look nice. I'm decorating the word peace. If you take everything what I have typed so seriously, there is always room to debate. -

Ain't this a clear cut questions? It is like asking, what is the meaning/definition of christianity, catholics... . What background do I need to put in before I can hear opinions? -
I just want to point up to you that there were attempts to understand you. You wrote that I did not "try to learn more about it before saying something about that person."Originally posted by happyharvest:You really love to dissect people thread, aren't you.

In order to help you understand where I am coming from and there were attempts to understand you, there is a need to look back at the progress of the chain of communication. Perhaps you are right, I should learn not to analyse you too much, if you can learn to write appropriately.
The peace thing? Well, you can joke, and I can't?

Are you asking the definition: try wikipedia or a good dictionary. They can define words better than any one here. I believe I have already posted some definitions for people who could not be bothered to look them up. The answer is already given. Please refer to the earlier portion of this thread.
Are you asking for a universal Christian worldview? or a specific denomination's Christian worldview? or an individual Christian worldview?
Do you have your own Christian worldview? ie even without coming across this words in the first place, I am sure you have already formed your own opinion of what a Christian world is - this is your Christian worldview. -
Before I saw this words, I don't have what Christian worldview. And my answer to this questions are taken from the net.Originally posted by Chin Eng:Well, I thought you'd wanted to stop this debate.....

Nvm, I will still try to look out in wiki or any great sources.
Thanks for your input. -
And this is not a debate. Just wanting to hear opinions from local christians in the first place.Originally posted by Chin Eng:Well, I thought you'd wanted to stop this debate..... -
Take away the "technical" term of worldview, we all have views about what/where we are. Take family for instance, our worldview is molded by our experience, culture, social standing etc. My worldview of the family is an extremely happy one and I believe that there are ways to make the family happy. Whether I am correct in this assumption or not is not the issue.Originally posted by happyharvest:Before I saw this words, I don't have what Christian worldview. And my answer to this questions are taken from the net.
When you became a Christian, I am sure you are suddenly faced with possibly a strange and unique culture, usually quite warm and fuzzy initially. Your experience will be built with your encounters with your church folks and your opinion of the Christian world is being molded via such stimuli. You WILL form an opinion of what being a Christian is. This IS YOUR WORLDVIEW, whether you know this terminology or not is, again, not the issue.
What you do not have is AN OFFICIAL definition of a Christian worldview, but you have it nonetheless, otherwise how would you decide to go to church week after week. It is NOT possible that you do not have an opinion of your experience. -
Hi guys/gals,
I hope there are no more quarrels among christians. Let me start it first: Peace to all EH forumers.
Anyway, this is where I saw this word and get the answer from:

Okay, noted. Btw, I am all along in church since a baby . . . Other than that, I do not want to reveal too much in EH. I am still in the process of forming my worldview . . . I am still young! I am still studying how Christians should view the world.

If you read carefully all threads and posts, I believe all are responsible for it.Originally posted by sgdiehard:Hi, if you don't quarrel, there is no quarrel here.

And by your comments in this posts, I think this is rather redundant and it is because of this kind of comment that sprak commotions. Indeed, you need to learn patience from Uncle CE. -
