A Study in Contrasts
Hellenism the dominant worldview in the first century, stands in stark contrast to the truths of God found in the Bible.
| Hellenism | Biblical Perspective |
| Human beings are the image of gods. | Only God is God. He is the Lord of the Universe, the creator of mankind. |
| The human mind is the greatest source of wisdom. | God is the Ultimate source of all Wisdom |
| Human beings determine truth; what is right and wrong. | God, the source of truth, has given us the standards to determine what's right and wrong. |
| Human acomplishment is the goal of life. | The goal of life is to glorify and serve God. |
| The human body and what human beings create is the highest standard of beauty. | Human beings create beauty because they are made in the image of God. |
