The Well-Rounded Biblical World-View

Part Two
Bibliology: 9 BIBLE EVIDENCES
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

The Bible avoids all of the extreme and lopsided views of life and the world. Idealistic philosophy denies the existence of matter, holding that only mind is a reality. Materialism holds just the opposite extreme view. The Bible teaches the objective reality of both mind and matter, but points out the ephemeral character of the physical and the abiding character of the spiritual (2Corinthians 4:18). The pantheist denies the transcendence of God and the deist denies His immanence. The Bible teaches both: God is all in all and God over all (1Corinthians 15:28; Romans 9:5). Secularism places all of the emphasis upon the present life; fanaticism ignores the present and concerns itself only with the life to come. Buddhism would suppress all human desire; Hedonism would do nothing but fulfill human desire. Manicheanism held that the human body is evil; Hinduism teaches caste; Confucianism ignores God and the future. The Bible, on the other hand, brings all of these extremes into sharp focus and presents a well-rounded, common-sense world view.
