FAMILY DISCUSSION STARTERS
This week, we researched what other worldviews believe about humans. As a family, read the summary of each worldview.
Naturalism
If you use the naturalist worldview map as your worldview map, you believe that humans are only physical beings. This means you think that humans only are bodies. We are not souls. The you on the inside is just your brain. The thoughts you think don’t come from a mind. They are just the result of chemicals in your brain. What makes you you is your body. When your body dies, you die. You do not exist anymore. This goes along with your worship of matter. Since you cannot see, hear, taste, smell, or touch a soul, you think that souls are not real. This also goes along with your belief that life began accidentally. You believe that humans are simply animals that accidentally evolved from other animals. Because you are an animal that evolved, it doesn’t matter if you are a boy or a girl. There is nothing special about being male or female.
New Spirituality
If you use the new spiritualist worldview map as your worldview map, you believe that humans are only spiritual beings. Because you worship yourself and believe that you evolved accidentally, you think it is your job to continue evolving. You are not trying to change your body but your soul. You believe that if you follow your heart, you will become the best person you can be. Since you believe you have part of god in you, you think that you know what is best for you. It doesn’tmatter if you are a boy or a girl. What matters is how you feel in your heart.
As a family, discuss what each worldview believes about humans. How might believing these different things affect your choices and behaviors? This week, as you read books, watch movies, and listen to songs, pay attention for any messages about what humans are that may come from one of these worldviews.
As a family, thank God for making you in His image. Pray specifically for naturalists, new spiritualists. Ask that God would soften their hearts to the Truth and give you opportunities to share the Truth with them.
