Why do so many Christians not have a consistently biblical worldview?

Satans attack on the church is brought through division, through the establishment of so called churches teaching half truths in the name of Christ.

Worldview ~ a comprehensive conception or philosophy of the universe and of humanity's relation to it.

Biblical ~ in accord with the Bible ~ Dictionary.com

Combine both meanings, and a biblical worldview is a concept or philosophy of mankind's relation to the universe that agrees with what the bible says about it.

What I see being lamented here, is the different theological beliefs and interpretations of the Bible.

A person who has a biblical worldview believes there is at least one God who created the world in which we live. There are other beliefs that are mandatory for his/her worldview to be considered biblical. What those beliefs are, are a matter of great discussion. An interpretation of the scriptures determines what else we believe in accordance with the Bible.

I think some of us believe we get to decide what those mandatory beliefs are. That's where the problem has always been with matters of religion and theology. One person's idea of a biblical worldview is different from another person's. It's mostly a matter of Bible interpretation.

The people who say the Bible is a work of fiction, have no biblical worldview; their worldview is secular.

The person who asked this question is insinuating that believers should have one consistent worldview.

That's totally ridiculous and political, in my opinion.

Some people must think that when we are born again, we should all then have the same identical fingerprints, no way to tell us apart.

I'm so glad it ain't like that!!
