Description - Issues raised
This question raised issues of the source of knowledge, the assumption of how did human beings obtained the capacity to acquire knowledge and build on knowledge. The question also raised issues on how we are to be able to discern reality and differentiate truths from lies.
Worldview Outline
Christian Theism
Christian Theism proposes that God has given human beings the power to know and teaches human beings about the world and himself.
Naturalism
Naturalism suggest that human reason such as methods of science help us observe and understand the world.
Eastern Pantheistic Monism
Eastern Pantheistic Monism dismisses knowledge. Questioning the source of knowledge and how one acquires knowledge is, to attempt to discover the beginning, a differentiation, and separateness from the One. Which is against the ideal of Eastern Pantheistic Monism and therefore is avoided.
New Age
New Age suggests that “I know because I am”. When one attain God-consciousness, one just know.
Personal position – core components of Christian Worldview relating to formation & transformation of Australian Society
My personal position is that it is possible to know because God reveals. There are much truth that are unknown to an individuals, especially spiritual truths, because God has not chosen to reveal. The Holy Spirit is the primary knowing, and is given to us as a spirit of sound mind.
