Why is it important for the Christian educator to know his/her answers to the questions asked by metaphysics, epistemology, and axiology?
-
We need to understand how we came into being, how we know based on our senses and thru faith, and how to value others especially our students.
-
As an educator is very important that we can give our students clear guidance about the important questions our students are wondering. For this, we must be very knowledgeable of the word of God and be able to clearly communicate the true answer to these questions using the scripture.
-
The Christian Educator must have and develop a Christian philosophy about all three aspects in order to see these principles through the eyes of the Creator, henceforth, becoming their belief system. “Christ is above and beyond what we can just experience through our senses. What we value, valuing truth, and valuing the capacity to learn always has an influence on how we value learners”. Seeing that everything exist in and because of Him give us as educators the ability to thwart the ideas of postmodernism and relativism with Truth.

For knowing the answers will help me give my students proper guide when any of them are confuse about the question of existence, knowing and valuing. And again, I should experience it first as a Christian educator then it becomes real and true.
-
It is important for educators to know their answers to questions asked by metaphysics, epistemology and axiology to be grounded and established in our faith and share that with the students. Grounding provides the basis to be built up as described in Col. 2:6-7. It helps us to know the full love of Christ which in Ephesians we are told passes knowledge.
