Question:
People have different images of the world and human nature. We’d like
to know the kinds ofimages you have.Below are sets of contrasting images.
On a scale of 1 to 7 where would you place your image of the world and
human nature between these two contrasting images? Look at the first set
of contrasting images. If
you think that “The world is basically filled with evil and sin” you would
place yourself at 1. If you think that “There is much goodness in the
world which hints at God’s goodness” you would place yourself at 7. If
you think things are somewhere in between these two, you would place yourself
at 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.
Where would you place
your image of the world on each of the scales below?
