Last question I asked for arguments against atheism but not to be cocky at all, no one really had any. I figured that was a bad question, what I meant to ask was for arguments in favor of Christianity. Please don't say things like, "Jesus dying on the cross." It has to be evidence for what you claim in order to be a completed Christian Argument. So help me out, I want to learn more arguments for Christianity because atheism is too easy, I want a challenge.

Well the bible gives very clear instructions on how to live a wholesome abundant life full of joy that ends in PARADISE. Let's say you followed the bibles instructions and on your deathbed you learned that there was no paradise. You had a GREAT life, so was that such a bad thing? But there is a paradise and ... a HELL.

The evidence for Christianity is simply this: Jesus was crucified, He died and was buried in a cave, and on the third day He rose again. He was seen by the apostles and then of over 500 people after His resurrection.
The simple fact of the matter is not an arguement at all, but an acknowledgment of the truth. Jesus Christ lives, and all who repent of their sins and accept Him as LORD and Savior will live with Him for all eternity. God doesn't lie, He only speaks truth. Now, do you believe?

A religion unites and binds people into a common world view. The advantages of having a strong bond between a group of people who trust each other and work toward a shared goal is obvious.
The most obvious example of this strength of belief is the Hebrew nation. In fact, the beliefs and practices established thousands of years ago still are a major uniting force today in the spillover spin off Christianity. It is much watered down for common consumption, of course, but sweetened up with a lot of promises - with a few dire punishments thrown in for the truculent.
The value of a religion is what it does for the people who share it's common ideas, not for the accuracy of its "truth." That's why there is no "science of religion."

do you believe that there is a devel or satin? rememer this read mathew 7:13 in the bible do your reserch. the profit or isaiah spoke about JESUS he wrote about the comming massiah in detail this was written 800 b.c. it is easy just not to believe or even give up on something that is challenging. you just have to try and dont give up. tell me when you see a picture or a painting how did it come to be a painting? Now when you see a building how did it come to a building? there was a painter and a builder the bottom line there was a creater right. just like you and i we were created by a creater God his knowledge is beond our understanding thats when faith comes in just give it a try. its not that hard the bible says faith comes from hearing the work go to a christian church try praying in private no one has to know. ask God to help you with your unbelieving heart and ask him to take away satin or any demons that dwell in your home or family members. the devil is behind all the false profits and religion no one can come to the father but through the son only. and a nother word of advise dont get advise from the un godly you will know that they are from god by the fruit they produce they are the one's that watch there life and there docturin. I believe in you c'mon and my prayers go out to you . peace be with you

If you're looking for proof I don't know that I can help you with that because God wants us to believe and that means we have to have faith-faith means trust.
*If you want points to argue then you can argue that why are the Ten Commandments so perfect. They can be used to live by in a family or govern a world?
*When someone says there are no absolutes, then
Why is gravity constant-(that's an absolute)
Why do the season's always change ( that's an absolute)
Why does the sun always shine (that's an absolute)
As a believer it's not our job to win arguments but hopefully to lead those people who chose to, to the love and mercy of God.

You atheists just don't get it. Your wisdom is the one thing that will send you to hell.
God is a Spirit. He can neither be proved nor disproved by proof, evidence or rationale.
To experience God, you must approach Him, know Him and love Him and worship Him -- in faith.
You are fools - the very thing (reasoning) that you think saves you ultimately will destroy you.
If you are without faith, then God does not want you in His heaven - and you will not be there.
God uses this world to separate those WITH faith from those WITHOUT faith.
With things of the world its "seeing is believing"
With things of God its "believing is seeing"
Do YOU believe?

Evidence that Demands a verdict By Josh macdowell is a load of Crap! He claims right off the bat that the bible is written in perfect harmony from front to back...Any biblical scholar would laugh in your face if they heard that. He uses big words to get simple minded people to go "oooooohhhh....ahhhhhhhh" but his arguments are laughable.
Truth is...there are no good arguments for Christianity. None. It's a matter of faith and that is it. Belief without proof is all they have left.

Read "Evidence that Demands a Verdict." That ought to help you with some arguments.

I don't argue Christianity.
Your challenge should be to find out more about God, not argue points of Christianity or atheism.
