    Christian Worldview Paper

    The Old Testament of the Holy Bible gives many examples which provide modern man with guidelines for the use of scientific method. Millam (2008) explains that there is an underlying order in nature demonstrated by the patterns and regularities of God’s creations. These regularities can be seen in the forces of nature and are stable throughout space and time (Millam, 2008). The original classification of species, use of precise measurement, and even the first account of scientific research, are all included in the Old Testament of the Holy Scriptures. God gives scientists some clear frames of reference for seeking knowledge and truth in science.…

    The scientific method is a tool that enables a person to seek out new knowledge, or correct and integrate new knowledge. It is composed of eight individual steps: which start out with defining a question, gathering information and resources, form an explanatory hypothesis, test the hypothesis by performing an experiment and collecting data in a reproducible manner, analyze the data, interpret the data and draw conclusions that serve as a starting point for new hypothesis, publish results, and ends with a retest. The steps can be grouped into four different essential elements: operation, observation, model, and utility function.…

    Christian Psychology Article Summary

    As the author begins the article, Christian Psychology, its first subtitle clearly states author’s opinion about integration CITATION Chr86 \l 1033 (Christian Psychology, 1986). The article says that the Bible is the only casebook for the cure of souls, therefore integration is not applicable CITATION Chr86 \l 1033 (Christian Psychology, 1986).

    Spiritual Assessment Article Review

    The article, “Self-forgiveness: The Step-Child of Forgiveness Research”, authored by Julie H. Hall, and Frank D. Fincham, is intended to promote further research into forgiveness. The article identifies the differences (along with the similarities) between interpersonal and intrapersonal forgiveness, and submits that more research has been done in the interpersonal arena, and less research has been directed toward intrapersonal, or self-forgiveness. The authors describe in this article, that unless an offense has been committed, there is no need or reason for forgiveness at all. An offense could be considered a behavior that harms another person; thus interpersonal harm has been done. An offense can also be considered intrapersonal, because any harmful behavior also hurts the perpetrator in some way, (when the offense is recognized as a harmful act) because the guilt that the perpetrator may feel affects his or her own self perception negatively. Behaviors that affect only the perpetrator, such as self-harm, would be considered intrapersonal. Self-forgiveness employs the idea that one must recognize the offense either to self or others, de-personalize the act from the person committing the act, and acceptance of the independence of the person from the act in order to come to terms with it-(the act was bad, I am not bad), and self-forgiveness. The self-forgiveness component relieves the individual of self damnation, and opens the door for positive progression in a more healthy direction.…

    Theological Research Paper: Nine Spiritual Gifts

    These gifts were so prevalent and common in the first century of the church that all churches had manifestations included in their services. This has given those who are believers in cessationism, (an end of charismatic gift after the first century), a strong argument. If during the first century all churches had all nine gifts why would the Holy Spirit put a limit on the number of gifts a church could have. Since most churches practicing tongues today are not utilizing all nine gifts in every service as was done in the first century.…
