"Three cultural paradigms"


Three cultural paradigms

Each provides a mental lens or filter through which we discern reality and hear God's Word.
 
CHRISTIANITY

Old Paradigm

HUMANISM

Transition

GLOBALISM

New Paradigm

Biblical Absolutes & Values
Relative Values
Global Absolutes & Values
God is personal (loves us) and greater than His creation
God is a crutch or illusion
An impersonal universal god (pantheism) makes all things one (monism). All religions must be reformed and adapted as models for a new unifying global spirituality. *
Emphasize individual worth Emphasize human evolution Emphasize the collective: Individuals have value according to their part in the "Greater Whole"
Teach personal responsibility
Teach human rights
Teach collective duties or responsibilities
Don't tolerate sin (but love sinners)
Tolerate all lifestyles
Don't tolerate dissenters (zero tolerance)
Trust God
Trust human reason
Trust the state
 The UN stresses 'GLOBALISM' and the leftists adhere to humanism and relative moralism.  http://www.crossroad.to/charts/paradigm3.html
