Here is something I have been putting together as I read the NT:
The Divinity of Jesus Christ Proved from Scripture
I. Did Jesus claim to be God?
1. Jesus claimed the Divine Name (‘I AM’)
Exodus 3:14
13 Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God...
Strong or positive atheism holds that God does not exist with certainty. Weak or negative atheism merely holds that there is not enough evidence to prove that God does exist.
It's up to you to make your case as best you can.
Now you see why atheists attempt to pin the burden of proof on theists rather than do the work required to develop their own arguments. :cool:
However, there is another active thread for that. In this thread, the OP clearly places the burden of...
The Scientific Burden of Proof
In the sciences, the burden of proof falls to the one proposing a hypothesis. It doesn’t matter what the hypothesis is:
If you want to propose that Particle X exists, the burden of proof falls to you.
If you want to propose that Particle X does not exist, the...
Why not? If you assert that God does not exist, then shouldn't you have to show some evidence of that?
It depends on how the resolution is stated. If the debate topic is: Does God exist?, then the theist has the affirmative and must prove his case. That happens to be the case given the subject...
Yes, I am familiar with the problem associated with proving a negative. Consequently, I think skeptics will have a tough time with this.
Remember, there are two sides to this argument - not one.
Theists affirm that God does exitst, and they attempt to offer convincing evidence for their...
I did not offer any in that post.
I merely pointed out that should I or any other Christian apologist fail to make the case for Christ adequately, that simply means that I am a poor apologist. It does NOT mean that the atheist position has been proven, and skeptics must still offer their own...
That's not what Paul says in the Letter to the Galatians.
Galatians 1:11-24
11 I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. 12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ. 13 For...
Saying that one can prove God's existence is shorthand for saying that the balance of evidence in favor of God's existence outweighs the evidence against God's existence. No one piece of evidence may prove it, but taken as a whole they may very well accomplish that task.
