  The lecturer states she “would contend that only a believer is able to truly love wisdom as God created us to love.” Do you agree or disagree? Explain.

  I agree with the Lecturer. God’s word says that we should seek the wisdom that is from above.

  I agree with the lecturer. Only through God can we gain real and authentic wisdom. Since he made us, he is the perfect one to equip us.

  1. Can an unbeliever love wisdom?
  I agree that only a believer can truly love wisdom, because God is love. To love wisdom and gain true wisdom a person must know and obey God, and one can only do this as a born again Christian. A born again Christian will fear God and then be given the blessing of knowing God and therefore gaining wisdom. An unbeliever seeks knowledge of the natural world but is lacking the wisdom that only God can him.

  As a believer, I agree with the lecturer because if philosophy itself is to love wisdom, and as Genesis 1:26-27 states, God created us in His image, according to His likeness, humanity may only love wisdom through a relationship that conforms us to similitude with God, whose truth becomes the bedrock of the believer’s life. However, unbelievers are likely to argue that wisdom is a universal concept outside Christianity. Non-theistic philosophers love wisdom, but believers hold fast to the distinction between their earthly (worldly) and heavenly wisdom since worldly wisdom despises and rejects Christ.

  As a Christian educator I hope to learn how to effectively apply God’s Word to each subject taught to students. I also hope to grow on being a discipline maker and helping students to understand the Word of God.

  Why is it imperative that Christian educators have a Christian philosophy of education?

  Because as stated in the video “philosophy is a person’s belief system about the world” “The purpose of Christian education is to pass down knowledge, value, and truth to the next generation” only a born again believer can teach these truths the way that God intended. As a believer our belief systems about the world is that we all need God, the world needs God. Our parts as educators is to do our part and teach that to our children. Train them while they are young, instill in them about the love of God and how much He loves us. “For God so LOVED THE WORLD, that He gave His ONLY begotten son that WHOSOEVER believes in Him should not perish but have EVERLASTING LIFE” John 3:16 -17 “for He sent His son into the world not to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be SAVED.” It is very imperative that Christian educators have a belief system that the world needs God, because if we as Christ centered educators do not believe this, then how can we teach it? We cannot, we must believe it. Our philosophy must be Christ Centered.

  As a Christian educator, it is vital to have a Christian philosophy because God has called me to educate students of his Word. The philosophy of public schools deal with the world. However, a Christian philosophy deals with God and how we must live with God by our sides. This should be taught to Christian students so they will not lean on the world’s understanding, but the understanding of God.

  Whether or not I am thinking about it I am passing on my belief system to my students. My belief system is my philosophy as a Christian so to be aware of it and to be able to summarize it would help me convey it with intentionality.

  The Bible states in proverbs 9:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”. In order for educators to be of Godly influence in the lives of students they must hold God’s word as a source of wisdom and guidance. It is impossible to truly love wisdom if God and his word in not in the heart. As christian educators we are called to teach students a philosophy different than that of the world. God has left his foot print in his creation. His word must be taught as the absolute truth in order to contradict any belief that apposes to it truth. To pass down knowledge, truths and values to the next generation our philosophy must be founded in our love for God’s wisdom. According to the word of God in Proverbs 22:6 we should “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it . When the word of God is imparted in the heart of young ones and accompanied by Godly example their lives will reflect a love for wisdom.
