Worldviews Conference - Session 3 - Ethics

Description: EVERYONE HAS A WORLDVIEW! Everyone has a worldview. It is how we see the world around us, and it is the filter we use for interacting with others. Our worldview is something that develops over our lifetime. It is formed by our upbringing, our environment, our experiences, our education, our religious beliefs, our culture, and everything else that touches our lives. Justin Alfred helps us to understand the different worldviews and how they impact our lives. Session 3 – Ethics Every group has an "ethical" standard based on their grid for truth, but even in a "religious" context, apart from Eternal Biblical Truth, that grid will in some way be based on the allowance certain aspects of human corruption to be justified, as we will see in Islam. On the other hand, for those groups whose ethical standard is based on "human reasoning" and perception, then what we see is a whole scale embrace of all types of sexual perversion as acceptable, and this is also seen in certain religious contexts, as with Islam and Mormonism. Indeed, in the Ancient Near East, all of the "gods" had the same human weaknesses as men, and the gods, consequently, were merely "deified men." However, what we will discover is that man-centered ethics always succumbs to compromise, and the compromise results in very self-destructive concepts.
