    When I observe nature I see causation always, no hard evidence to the contrary, and that which does not exist can't cause anything because it doesn't exist, so something can't come from nothing.

    The only possibility then is there is an infinite regress of cause and effects naturally, but then I ask myself, that doesn't make sense because if that were true, we would have happened already having had an eternity to do so. And we would never exist because a past eternity would still be going on for eternity never reaching this point. So infinite regress is impossible and self-contradictory. That which is self-contradictory and impossible is false.

    So since nature can't come from nothing, nor always have existed in infinite regress, logically speaking the only possibility is nature needs a cause outside of itself, outside of time and space, which would be uncreated, our uncreated Creator.

    The question then is not whether atheism is true, but who the uncreated Creator is?

    I take the position the Creator is accessible because that is loving, and the only 3 accessible faiths are Christianity, Islam and Hinduism. The rest are quite minuscule. I know Islam is false because you can't come along six centuries later without any evidence and claim Jesus didn't die on the cross.

    And I know Hinduism is false because its God Brahma is amoral, but how can the Creator have a morality below our own? Furthermore, I don't find coming back as a chicken if I am overly sinful adequately deals with my sin nature in this life. We really only need this one life to decide if we want to be with God for eternity (forgiven) or to be eternally separated from Him in Hell.

    Free will is not truly free if we don't have this free choice. And a chicken doesn't have sufficient self-consciousness and God-consciousness to have the opportunity to be turned back into a human again so that's just silly. A chicken brain doesn't have the capacity to hold a human brain.

    So that proves Christianity is correct and Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. He created us, and nothing that exists exists without Him having created it. There is no way to the Father but through the Son, and there is no other name under heaven by which one can be saved.

    Unless you confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior, He will deny you before the Father. Unless you accept Jesus who He truly is, who died on the cross for the sins of the whole world to save whosoever is willing (John 3.16) and resurrected the 3rd day, you won't be saved.

    The proof of the resurrection is icing on the cake, because nobody is able to find a naturalistic explanation to account for the origin of the disciples' beliefs in their eyewitness testimony to having seen Jesus alive from the dead in various group settings and setting up the first churches on their eyewitness testimony. We know group hallucinations are impossible and people don't willingly die for what they know is a lie when they could have saved their lives by telling the truth. And Jesus wouldn't have looked much like the risen Messiah if He somehow survived the cross all beat up, scourged down to the bone, nails in his hands and feet, thorns in his head and deprived of any sustenance for three days.

    SINCE

    1) something can't come from nothing for what does not exist can't produce anything

    AND

    2) infinite regress is impossible because you would have happened already having an eternity to do so

    THEN

    3) what is outside of nature-time and space-necessarily is the uncaused cause and can't be lesser than us with minds.

    WHO IS HE?

    4) Jesus is God since all naturalistic explanations have been exhausted for the origin of the disciples' beliefs, multiply attested appearances, in various groups.

    Amen.

    p.s. by all means go ahead if you feel the need to challenge these words, but the burden is on you. ...

    When you don't understand why Obama does what he does, consider that maybe it is because he is a Muslim.
    • He got the government to stop using the phrase "Islamic terrorists."
    • He didn't cover his heart for the Pledge of Allegiance.
    • He refused to wear a flag pin on his lapel.
    • In the swearing in ceremony Obama did not place his hand on the Bible which the Supreme Court botched.
    • Obama tried to get Israel from building apartments on their own land.
    • He attended a church for 20 years that praises the nation of Islam.
    • Obama has never attended a Christian service, not once.
    • He was caught reading a book called The Post-American World.
    • He had the Christian symbol covered up in his Georgetown speech.
    • He said one of the prettiest sounds on Earth is the Muslim call to prayer.
    • He recited the first few lines of the Muslim call to prayer perfectly, so he would have said in Arabic that Allah (Satan) is great, that he bears witness there is none worthy of being worshiped except Allah (Satan). Could he be telling the Islamic world he really is a Muslim?
    • Barack said United States is one of the largest Muslim countries in the world even though that is not true.
    • He invited the Muslim Brotherhood to his speech in Cairo.
    • He wants to make friends with Islamic countries but shuns Israel. Would a Christian do that?
    • Obama Administration was for prosecuting the Navy Seals who punched a terrorist.
    • Why would Obama give Miranda Rights ("warnings") to terrorists?
    • He said we will not use Nukes in retaliation even if biological and chemical weapons are used against United States. So go ahead terrorists the door is wide open.
    • Barack refused to go to Arlington Cemetery on Memorial Day and instead went to Chicago on Memorial Day to visit the neighbor's house of Louis_Farrakhan.
    • He told NASA that their foremost mission must now be to improve relations with the Muslim world.
    • Why did he drag his feet and drag out the British Petroleum oil leak. Maybe it is because he wants to take down one of the largest non-Muslim oil companies.
    • Why does Obama allow for the murder of millions of American children by abortion? Killing Americans seems to be no problem for Obama so there will be less Americans for the rest of Muslims to have to kill according to the Koran (see the verses below).
    • He pushed for advancing Islamic law in Kenya in support of abortion by giving 23 million dollars to help fund the agenda.
    • Obama Administration is pushing for the release of the terrorist convicted for the 1988 Pan Am bombing.
    • Barack appointed Rashad Hssain as a special envoy to the OIC, an organization of 56 Muslim countries, essentially creating a Muslim missionary from the U.S. to other Muslim countries and paid for by you and me the taxpayers.
    • Obama bowed to the Saudi Arabia Muslim king.
    • He cut terrorism funding to New York City one day after the New York City bomber was caught.
    • An Egyptian foreign minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said Obama

    4. Richard Dawkins

    Dawkins thinks a non-existent God who created universes is better than an existing God who creates universes. But that is logically incoherent because there is no possible universe in which a non-existent being exists.

    This is not my most favorite proof, since I prefer my resurrection proof using the Minimal Facts Approach and the 4 Step Proof for God, but the ontological is the most elegant.

    The Ontological Argument (The Nature of Existence or Being)
    1. It is possible that a maximally great being exists (omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and morally perfect in every possible world). Hence atheism is false. The basic meanings are Atheism is the word in the English language to claim God does not exist. Agnosticism is the word in the English language to say one is not sure.
    2. If it is possible that a maximally great being exists, then a maximally great being exists in some possible world (eventually you would come to a world with a maximally great being because there would be an infinite number of possibilities).
    3. If a maximally great being exists in some possible world, then it would exists in every possible world (true by definition, because part of being maximally great is to exist in every possible world).
    4. If a maximally great being exists in every possible world, then He or She exists in the actual world.
    5. If a maximally great being exists in the actual world, then a maximally great being exists.
    6. Therefore, a maximally great being exists.

    Bart Erhman is more honest than most atheists, but the facts he concedes still necessitates the resurrection of Jesus.

    William Lane Craig shows the same thing: an infinite regress cannot exist.

    If you are a low caste or no caste Hindu then you are stuck at that low level because that's what you deserve from your previous life. And people shouldn't reach out to help you, because they might jeopardize their own karma by interfering with you living out the miserable existence that you deserve. Simply said, people must accept their lot in life and not try to better themselves. This creates a really bad stigma, instead of realizing the reason there is pain and suffering is because of the sin of man, and we should strive to overcome it by the proper measures, first by being saved in Christ.

    Why do so many people want to make themselves God? Why do so many people gravitate towards this conclusion? There is lots of this going on in Christendom also, but of course they are not saved. Have they forgotten that we are God's creatures? Given a choice we tend to select beliefs that elevate who we are, that diminish personal responsibility, that gives us greater freedom to call 'good' what the Scriptures call 'sin', and that put ourselves in charge of our own destiny, rather than saying to God, as the psalmist did, 'My times are in your hands.' (Ps. 31.15) People have had great success in this world and they think of themselves as God. Others have had no success, but holding onto this idea they are a god, uplifts them. The question is who is doing the uplifting and is agreed to by God? What kind of God would we be so imperfect and flawed? Calling oneself God, or a little god, or God in nature and life, diminishes the need to give God His rightful place. We don't need to be more self-centered; we need to be God-centered. We can't find the real Jesus by thinking we are virtually His equal as Mormons believe.

    These days if someone says he believes in Jesus, you have to ask them, 'Which Jesus?'

    Our beliefs can't change reality that is set for forever. Whether we choose to believe it or not, Jesus is the unique Son of God. How do we know? Because he convincingly demonstrated the trustworthiness of his remarkable claims through his resurrection. He is who he is, regardless of what we think. So we have a choice: we can live in a fantasyland of our own making such as atheism or agnosticism and believing whatever we want about him, clinging to our pet teachings and grand assumptions about the historical Jesus; or we can seek to discover who he really is-and then bring ourselves into alignment with the real Jesus and his teachings.

    Amen.
