What is a Christian Worldview?


Some would say the 7 C's of History:

Creation-Curse-Catastrophe-Confusion-Christ-Cross-Consummation.

John Stonestreet (BreakPoint) makes clear some essentials of a worldview [1] >>



According to Stonestreet, "… one who may have influenced Protestant Evangelicalism more than any other towards worldview thinking is Francis Schaeffer. Schaeffer’s most significant contribution was bringing the concept of Christian worldview out of the academy to popular Christian thought."

I highly recommend Schaeffer's Complete Works:

Also, these two video series >>

**How Should We Then Live? - Schaeffer:

**Whatever Happened To The Human Race? - Francis Schaeffer & C. Everett Koop (fmr. Surgeon General):

I argue that Francis Schaeffer leaned toward strict Creationism:

Shouldn't a Christian Worldview include some basic doctrinal standards?

 

The Deity of Christ

Salvation by Grace

The Resurrection of Christ

The Gospel

Monotheism

Jesus is the only way to salvation

Jesus' virgin birth

Doctrine of the Trinity

What about questions like "What is Marriage?" and "What is a Woman?"

Let me know your criteria for the Christian Worldview:

Is it Heretical to Deny Young Earth Science (YES)?

Justin Derby is the purveyor of the Truth: The Objective Reality (TTOR) blog.  We recently did a video with Justin on Christian leaders who take a compromising stand on the age of the earth.  But is it heresy?

Derby has written Another Inconvenient Truth - What Secular America Hates.   
He tackles a number of worldview issues:  atheism, same-sex controversy, church-state relations, the historicity of Christ and eschatology.
We should heed the warnings of Harold Lindsell (The Battle for The Bible) who told us that forsaking the authority of Scripture can lead to a slippery slope of compromise.  Where do Mike Licona and Frank Turek stand on the young earth?

When it comes to heresy, here are a few verses to consider:

1 Cor. 15:3,4
3)  For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,
4)  that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.

Galatians 2:16, 21
16)  ... a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
21)  I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.

Heb. 6:1,2
1)  Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,
2)  and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

What is the basis for unity?
   Apostles Creed
   Nicene Creed
   Creed of Chalcedon
Early ecumenical councils focused on the Trinity and the nature of Christ: one person with two natures.  Jesus was fully human and fully divine.

The Slippery Slope is real!  Many in the BioLogos crowd deny the reality of Adam, this is surely dangerous ground (Rom. 5, 1 Cor. 15, 1 Chr. 1).
