10 points to the first Christian that can prove Christianity is true. Any takers?

Question

Okay, the rules of the game are:

- You have to prove the existance of the Judeo-Christian God, not just a "creator".

- You may not logically contradict yourself.

- Bible quotes may only be used to prove the authenticity of the Bible as the word of God, not as proof for God.

- References for Bible quotes and facts are required.

- Religious experiences must be provable, without a doubt, that they are the work of the Judeo-Christian God.

- The word FAITH is forbidden.

Thanks to all those who answer.

*Please don't answer if you are going to criticise the question. It is only a bit of fun.

** I apologise for any spelling or gamatical errors.

Answer 1

No. I'll stick with these 2 points. Thank you.

Answer 2

If Jesus was lying,the disciples and Paul would not have seen the Risen Christ.(And Jesus would not even make a claim if everyone found out it was bs or die for a lie.) If Jesus was crazy,the disciples would not see the Risen Christ and the tomb was empty. Well,how was the tomb empty? Simple! The Resurrection would never even get off the ground if there was a body in Jesus's tomb! Well what if the disciples were lying or hallucinating? Well,the disciples were tortured and died for their beliefs,so it obviously wasn't a lie. And,if the disciples hallucinated,it would be a miracle if they all had the same hallucinations even though hallucinations are individual! Finally, what if it was just wishful thinking? Well,then Paul would never have seen Jesus! Checkmate!

Answer 3

For me, the fact that we exist at all is evidence for God's existence. How familiar are you with your surroundings? The complexities of the human body couldn't have happened by chance. Heck, I would love to see Chance come up with something so complex as a single cell - even a cell is like a living creature, with organelles and respiratory processes. How about the fact that the Big Bang somehow "managed" to place earth at the exact distance necessary to sustain life on earth? A few miles further and we would freeze, a few miles closer and we would be living in an oven. That's not chance or luck...God did that.

How about answered prayer? I have seen people pray for some pretty specific things and have those prayers answered. When DH was a kid, his family went through some pretty rough patches financially. They got to the point where there was no more food in the house one morning. So they sat down at the table and his mom asked them all what they wanted for breakfast. DHs brother said Applejacks. So they prayed for Applejacks cereal. Within an hour someone had anonymously left a bag of groceries on their front step, and wouldn't you know it, there was even a bag of Applejacks in it!! I have seen way too many answers to prayers like this - situations that seem hopeless or impossible - to think that it's mere coincidence. God is real. I hope and pray that He finds you one of these days!

Sorry I didn't follow your outline and rules better. I hope this at least makes you think.

Answer 4

I'm not a Christian, but I couldn't resist adding Dr. Stephen Unwin's assessment that the probability that God exists is 67%, based on the use of the Bayes equation:
Pafter =Pbefore X D / Pbefore X D-1 + Pbefore .
Of course the "D" value for "divine indicator scale" is subjective, so there goes that argument. I thought it was interesting though, that a theoretical physicist would employ methods similar to the statistical level of quantum mechanic calculations to try to prove the existence of God. It just goes to show that we can't really use quantum mechanic predictions to 100% certainty either...can we really be certain about anything?

Answer 5

Here you go:

There are documented cases where people have been healed in the name of Jesus (the Christian God).

Need an example?

I know of a young girl, who at the age of 6 drank liquid Drano. It destroyed her esophagus and she could not swallow. She was fed through a tube until at the age of 16, she was healed.

Here are the details: A Christian evangelist was in town and asked for those that were sick to come to the front of the auditorium for prayer. The young girl came to the front of the room and was prayed for in the name of Jesus (with the laying on of hands).

So, she goes home and can swallow again. For the 1st time in 10 years, she does not have to eat through a tube.

Doctors have x-ray evidence to verify that her esophagus was rebuilt.

Personally, you can choose not to believe or not. But for the young girl in question, there is not doubt that Jesus has healed her.

There are also instances where others have been healed, but there was not medical documentation before or after. So, that is why I only bring up this case.

#2 - Healing by the intervention of God: Hear the testimony of former Miss America Cheryl Prewitt - she won in 1979.

Answer 6

The closest I can come to is this, what Lewis calls the "Law of Human Nature."
"Men ought to be unselfish, ought to be FAIR. Not that men are unselfish, not that they LIKE being unselfish, but that they OUGHT to be. The Moral Law, or Law of Human Nature, is not simply a fact about human behavior in the same way as the Law of Gravitation is, or may be, simply a fact about how heavy objects BEHAVE. On the other hand, it is not a mere fancy, for we can not get rid of of the idea, and most of the things we say and think about men would be reduced to nonsense if we did. And it is not simply a statement about how we should like men to behave for our own convenience; for the behavior we call bad or unfair is not exactly the same as the behavior we find inconvenient; and may even be the opposite. Consequently, this rule of RIGHT and WRONG, or Law of Human Nature, or whatever you call it, must somehow or other be a real thing- a thing that is really there, not made up by OURSELVES. And yet it is not a fact in the ordinary sense, as in the same way our actual behavior is a fact. It begins to look as if we shall have to admit that there is more than one kind of reality; that, in this particular case, there is something above and beyond the ordinary facts of mens behavior, and yet definitley real- a REAL law, which NONE OF US MADE, but which we find pressing on us."

-CS Lewis

Answer 7

You can't take the word "faith" out of the discussion. That's what Christianity is about.
Why do you ask anyway? Are you beginning to develop an interest? I hope so. It would do you such good.
Good luck with your question. I'm sure you'll get just the answer you're looking for that will make you say "see, I'm right!" Then you can do your little victory dance and think up another question to try to slam Christianity. Have fun.

Answer 8

When a person accepts Christ their lives change. There are thousands of people who's lives have been turned around gotten off drugs & alcohol, as wll as other addications and gone from immorailty to law abiding productiive members of society.

Also if you have ever met anyone who truly follows Christ you will see that they have a peace inside of them that nothing alse can bring.

This may not prove Christianity to you. But it does to me.

So I have to ask you even if there were no God what is wrong with living a life full of peace and morality?

Answer 9

* let's look @ nature - How in the world do those honey bees know to make that hive in that hexagon shape where it will hold the hive together, how they fan it to keep it cool, how they communicate to each other to tell where the nectar is in reference to the sun.

-- a spider how they can create those webs in perfect symmetry.

-- There has to a order there and all kept in order by a All-Knowing, God. It could not just have happened by happenstance.

Answer 10

I can't prove it without using the word faith. If you don't figure out your answer in this life, it will be very clear to you in the next.

Answer 11

for the people who are going to say prove that god isnt real;
if you tell your child 2+2=4 its up to you to prove it to them. it means nothing to them until you explain it.
