As Mr. Hinz said, I’m going to try to be as concise as possible.
What is Prime Reality?
Prime reality comes from God’s creation. God created everything in the beginning, and it was good. Reality is God’s Creation. He created everything. You get where I am going, God created everything, so all reality comes from him.
What is External Reality?
External reality includes heaven and miraculous deeds. I believe that God created miracles to show us his wonderful power, we see him through Jesus’ miracles in the Bible. Heaven is where we go after death, if we have given our hearts to our Lord Jesus Christ
What does it mean to be human?
A human is created in God’s image. A human has dominion over the earth (Genesis 1), but was sinful and Jesus saved us from sins by dying on the cross (Matthew 28). Humans are born into sin, but gain life through giving our lives to Christ. Christians are also a light on earth to share God’s good news.
What happens after Death?
After death, if you have given your life to God, you go to heaven. It doesn’t matter how many good deeds you’ve done. All that matters is that you’ve repented your sins to God. If you have not given your life to Christ, you will go to hell, which is controlled by satan.
How do we know right from wrong?
Christians know right from wrong based on what God has told us through Jesus’ life and the Bible. We know that humans are sinful, but by repenting our sins to God, we are eternally forgiven by Jesus’ death on the cross.
What is the meaning of human history?
Human history shows us how God works. For example, we get to see not only Jesus’ life, but also how he worked in the disciples. We get to see how the jews were freed from Egyptian slavery. I could go on and on…
What personal, core commitments are consistent with this worldview?
- Your sins are forgiven by Jesus’ death on the cross.
- We are lights for God’s word on earth.
- We are told to go and tell all the nations about the good news.
- Heaven is waiting for us after our earthly death and we we will be there for eternity.
Mr. Hinz, I would like to thank you for all the work you have put into this class, but most importantly, all the knowledge you have given us. I know that what I have learned this year is priceless information about my faith and I will take it with me forever. I was really challenged this year and I appreciate that because having gone to this school for so long, a challenge was long over due. Thank you for creating the blogs as an outlet for those of us who don’t always like to speak up in class and can better express our thoughts through words. They have really stretched me. Thanks for playing such a huge part in my faith journey.
