Chapter 4: False Philosophical Systems<br />

Conclusion<br />

<strong>Christian</strong> theism is the only true worldview, or philosophy. Jesus<br />

Christ, the Master Philosopher, makes it clear that He is “the way, the<br />

truth, and the life” (John 14:6). There is no neutrality. One is either<br />

with Christ or against Him (Luke 11:23). There is no tertium quid, no<br />

third alternative. <strong>Christian</strong>ity, then, is not a species, it is a genus. As<br />

taught in Genesis 3, all false worldviews are a result of the Fall. Due<br />

to the Fall man is estranged from the God of Scripture, giving rise to<br />

the many false worldviews that have arisen throughout history. It is<br />

the job of the <strong>Christian</strong> theist to defend the truth of <strong>Christian</strong> theism<br />

against all false worldviews. Hopefully, this brief overview of some of<br />

the false “isms” that exist, will be of some aid in this task.<br />
