Of the ten arguments that the Bible is the Word of God presented by Dr Towns‚ the one that I find the most convincing is the pragmatic test of experience. There is something special about experiencing something yourself. You can then tell somebody about it and really know what you are talking about. You are then more credible. When you tell someone something from experience‚ that person will recognize that you know what you are talking about. See‚ I accepted Christ at the age of thirteen

Of the ten arguments that the Bible is the Word of God‚ I believe that the most compelling argument is The Convicting‚ Convincing‚ Converting Power of the Message. It is hard to imagine that people who have ever read the Bible were untouched by it in some form or fashion. “Even though the Bible tells us of sinful acts‚ it is not a popular book where sinful acts take place”. Not all people who have read the Bible cease to sin; however‚ if people read the Bible and heeded its warning‚ they may

The argument I find to be most convincing is the one that says‚ THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD BECAUSE OF ITS UNIQUE REVELATION OF THE PERSON OF CHRIST‚ the reason why this is so compelling to me because it is human nature that we “believe” in something. As human beings we are easily to be influence and persuaded (as Adam and Eve were in Genesis 3). Of course‚ if you believe in the BIBLE. That is why I find it so interesting that it is easy for men to argue about whether or not the BIBLE is true

presentation of Dr. Towns is convincing on all arguments that the Bible is the word of God. I converted to be a Christian 22 years ago when I became a believer that Christ is God. As a young child is Sunday school‚ I use to ask question to my Sunday school teacher. If the Bible is the word of God‚ why did bad things happen in the Bible if God is a good God? As a teen and staying true to my religious upbringing‚ I knew in my heart that the Bible was the word of God because with God all things are

The Bible has been proven to be true by historical evidence It’s so important to know why to believe the Bible. Christians base so many arguments and their whole belief system off of what the Bible says. When a Christian is asked why they believe what the Bible says though they are speechless. They can argue with the Bible and make points with Scripture about issues‚ but when they are asked what makes the bible reliable they don’t know what to say. The majority of people these days
Premium New Testament God Logic
I find the most compelling argument for the Bible being the Word of God is the Unique Revelation of Jesus Christ. He is by far‚ the greatest man that ever walked the face of the earth. Essentially every aspect of human life has been changed in some way‚ because of the life & teachings of Jesus. As a follower of Christ it is not merely what He taught‚ but who the person of Jesus Christ claimed to be and what he practiced while He was here on earth that convinces me of who He is.

Part B. The ontological argument is a convincing argument. Discuss. The ontological argument was first made famous in the 11th century by St Anslem from Canterbury and was later taken further by French philosopher Rene Descartes. The debate is an attempt to confirm God’s existence as a priori argument. It does not rely on observations of the world around us it simply uses logic and the idea that it is illogical to say that God does not exist as its main factor. There are three elements to St

whole world is created by the God. Because there are so many well designed creatures exist in the world. They are so perfect that it is only possible for God to create it. Obvious function and superb design are present everywhere in the biological world. Well adapted organisms & well designed systems are everywhere in the biological part nature. Such theory is called “ Teleological Argument”. So for my paper‚ l shall argue that the Teleological Argument is not convincing. In particular‚ l raise two

Does ‘Pascal’s Wager’ provide a convincing argument for belief in God? Published in 1670 and named after French philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal; the philosophical theory of Pascal’s Wager reasons that to believe in God is a decision made in a time of uncertainty. The Wager also explains that whether or not God exists‚ we can estimate the outcome; an infinite reward or an infinite punishment. This suggests that the rational choice to live as if God exists is the better of the possible

Pascal says “If there is a God‚ He is infinitely incomprehensible‚ since‚ having neither parts nor limits‚ He has no affinity to us’’ (Pascal‚ 2). Throughout Pascal’s argument he makes the constant notion believing in order to gain finite happiness‚ how is it possible to know if God is willing to provide this infinite gain if he is infinitely incomprehensible? This critical mistake is the very reason Pascal’s argument doesn’t work‚ we just don’t have the knowledge to know about what truly happens
