Christian Views On The Origin Of The World And Humanity Flashcards
Why do Christians beliefs on the creation of the world very?
It depends on their view of the Bible itself
What do Literalists and Creationists believe?
That the bible and all that is in it is true. They believe that, as it was inspired by God through the Holy Spirit, there is no reason to suspect falsity within the records and a Christian should have FAITH in the face of science. They would suggest that everything in the world has a purpose and reason, linking to the belief in the SANCTITY OF LIFE
What do liberals alternatively argue?
that whilst the Bible is a source of knowledge and wisdom it should not be followed exactly.
What do they believe about the Bible?
It provides a meaning and understanding to an unanswered question that provides a role for God in the world. They would say the world is there to explain the purpose and direction for the world.
