The World View of Liberalism/Modernism

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

Liberalism or sometimes called Modernism attempts to adapt religious ideas to modern culture and modes of thinking. Liberalism is a major shift in theological thinking which occurred in the late nineteenth century.

Although most would start from the orthodoxy of Jesus Christ as the revelation of a savior God, they try to rethink and communicate the … Continue reading →

World Views: Pragmatism

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

Pragmatism is more concerned with what ‘works’ than with what is true. In the absence of objective truth, how are we to decide which of two possible actions is preferable? The answer is provided by the only philosophical system made in America: pragmatism which maintains that the value of ideas is determined by their consequences. Developed by the 19th-century American philosophers Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, and others, this philosophical doctrine holds that the test of the truth of a … Continue reading →

What is a World View?

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

Everyone has presuppositions, a general set of beliefs, a grid through which we perceive everything that happens – a general belief about what is true, and every person will live more consistently on the basis of these presuppositions than even they themselves may realize. A world view is the cherished premises or assumptions you hold about ultimate reality, human beings, and the relationship between the two. James Sire defines world view as, “a set of presuppositions or assumptions which we … Continue reading →

World Views: Marxism/Leninism

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

Faith in god is an aberrant belief arising out of the pressures of the class struggle. A well-developed atheistic worldview is that of Marxism/Leninism. Marxism sees religion and God as man made institutions invented to ease emotional pain and explain life and death. Karl Marx called religion the… “opiate of the masses,” in that it deadened the desire for social change in the present with a hope of heaven. With ties by marriage to Nathan Mayer Rothschild, one of the … Continue reading →

America’s Godly Heritage

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

Active humanists and the liberal media have for years undertaken a concentrated effort to misinform the American public by attacking the “Religious Right” and rewriting America’s Judeo-Christian history in a humanistic tone. The motto at the heart of the American experiment “in God we trust” has been exchanged for “in Man we trust.” Rewriting History The last three generations of Americans simply have not been told the truth about American history as its Christian heritage has been disparaged. For example, … Continue reading →
