The Magisterial Protestant

The Problem of evil is by far the main reason why people reject the existence of the Christian God. The Logical problem is stated by the philosopher Epicurus as follows:  Premise 1, A good God would want to prevent Evil.  Premise 2, A Omnipotent God would be able to stop Evil.  Premise 3, an omniscient God would be aware of evil.  Premise 4, Evil still exists.  Conclusion: therefore an omnipotent, omniscient and good God cannot exist.  This argument states that if a God possessing the qualities of the Christian God particularly Goodness, omnipotence and omniscience exists then this God would want to stop evil because he is good, be able to stop evil because he is all powerful and is aware of all evil because he is omniscient. therefore evil should be impossible in any world this God creates yet evil prevails in the world He created. Therefore it is a logical contradiction for a God with such qualities to exist in our world. This is a valid argument meaning ...

  One of he most foundational doctrines of the Christian Faith is the deity of Christ. Many religions and cults however deny this doctrine such as: Islam, Jehovah's Witness', Mormons etc. The evidence is strongly against their favour as the deity of Christ is undeniable in the Old and new testaments along with Church history. What I will attempt here is to approximate all the evidence for the deity of Christ we have. However this blog will most certainly fail in this endeavor. Allow me to demonstrate. The Scriptures New Testament Here I provide unambiguous statements that the Holy Bible calls Jesus God aswell as the bible saying Jesus does things that we know only God does. Romans 9:4-5 [4] They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises. [5] To them belong the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all , blessed forever. Amen. Philippians 2:5-8 ...

Christians for 2000 years have been proclaiming that a Jewish man by the name Jesus of Nazareth is the promised Messiah, well let's see if he fulfills the prophesies in the Jewish scriptures. According to the Gospels. Jesus was born in Bethlehem Matthew 2:1 , he claimed to be the son of man Matthew 26:64, he was born of a virgin Luke 1:34 , he claimed to be God John 10:33 , John 8:58 , he was pierced and died for the sins of others Matthew 27:32-56, he rose from the dead Matthew 28:6 , his kingdom and reign will never end Luke 1:33 and lastly he arrived and died before 70 AD. Now that sounds very compelling and given that there is no other human in recorded history who claimed to be Messiah before 70 AD, Jesus is the only option The connection We have already gone through the Prophetic expectations for the Messiah but lets completely seal the deal on Jesus not without a reasonable doubt but without a shadow of a reasonable doubt. Isaiah 40:  3    A voice cries:  “...

  Something incredibly strange occurred in the first century. A man was born who would end up being labeled by historians as the most influential man in human history and every religious system known to man mentions him to different degrees. From atheist to believers his name is known by every human being under the stars today? Who was he, why was he important? What if i told you that this man was not only the most influential but also the most anticipated man to ever live such that people before his birth expected him and those after his birth seek his return. I believe that the anticipation of this man is the greatest proof for the Christian claims such that in light of this evidence unbelievers are left without excuse. Unexplainable prophesy   I want us to know and understand that the existence of the Jewish community is independent of scriptural data, they are people who no one historically doubts their existence in the ancient world as they are attested by the record...

Atheists believe that the universe was formed out of nothing, that there was once a non-living primordial soup on earth that would evolve into bacteria to fish to land animals and eventually after millions of years through completely unguided processes human beings evolve from African apes on a planet that was positioned at the perfect distance from a star that was also put there by sheer coincidence. Which sustains conditions on this planet such that it is the only planet among the planets surrounding this star that could sustain life. Christians believe in Genesis 1:1. Notice how I started with the word "believe" for both Christians and atheists, because as you might have noticed, atheism has its own Genesis 1:1. Essentially, atheism posits that life came from non-life, intelligence from non-intelligence order from chaos, everything from nothing. Have scientists ever seen the primordial soup in which all life on earth derived? We see that atheists do have faith to believe i...
