The Following Argument(s) for the Existence of God are Valid - 1F

I will be arguing that the existence of God is highly likely/probable. I will start by defining exactly what God is. God is infinite- God never had a beginning nor will he have an end. God is omnipotent- God is all powerful, nothing is higher then God. God is omnipresent- He is everywhere at all times. I believe that the earth was created through intelligent design, I think it is evident because the earth is so perfect for life if anything changed slightly about our perfect world human life could not exist. The earth is at a perfect distance from the sun, the earth has the right group of elements, the temperature is also great for supporting life on earth. The list goes on. I like to compare the earth to a automobile. If the automobile was not so perfect then it wouldn't be able to run. Each little piece and part of the automobile all come together perfectly to get the hunk of metal moving. Similarly earth's perfect atmosphere,distance from sun, perfect elements and many other things all come together perfectly to support life on earth. Now, with a car it would be illogical to assume that it was created through a random explosion, obviously you would conclude that there was a maker of the car, it is intelligent design why the car runs so great. It is the same logic behind the creation of earth. Our earth is far too perfect to be created through some random elements that wouldn't even exist without a creator. Something cannot be created from nothing. Now I have just stated an argument showing that the likely hood of a God existing is probable, now I will show why the Christian God is the probable God that exists. For evidence supporting the existence of a Christian God exists I like to look at a few things, the first thing is the dead sea scrolls. When archaeologists discovered the dead sea scrolls, scholars were amazed by the similitary of the text between the ancient finding and the modern day translations. This proves to me that the Christian God has preserved his holy word for thousands of years, keeping it from taint. There is also scriptural/historical evidence backing up the existence of a Christian God. Jeremiah 24:1-7 "After Jehoiachin [a] son of Jehoiakim king of Judah and the officials, the craftsmen and the artisans of Judah were carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the LORD showed me two baskets of figs placed in front of the temple of the LORD. 2 One basket had very good figs, like those that ripen early; the other basket had very poor figs, so bad they could not be eaten. 3 Then the LORD asked me, "What do you see, Jeremiah?" "Figs," I answered. "The good ones are very good, but the poor ones are so bad they cannot be eaten." 4 Then the word of the LORD came to me: 5 "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'Like these good figs, I regard as good the exiles from Judah, whom I sent away from this place to the land of the Babylonians. [b] 6 My eyes will watch over them for their good, and I will bring them back to this land. I will build them up and not tear them down; I will plant them and not uproot them. 7 I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart." According to Amos 9:14-15 in the old testament God promises to give the Israelites their home back after being years in exile. "I will bring back my exiled [a] people Israel; they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit. 15 I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them," says the LORD your God. As of May 14th 1948 Israel was founded as the new nation for Jews all around the world. In the passage Zechariah 12:6-8 it talks about Israel "consuming" all the surrounding people with fire but Israel shall remain intact. The verse also suggests that the Lord will protect Israel. " 6 On that day I will make the leaders of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume right and left all the surrounding peoples, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place. 7 The LORD will save the dwellings of Judah first, so that the honor of the house of David and of Jerusalem's inhabitants may not be greater than that of Judah. 8 On that day the LORD will shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the Angel of the LORD going before them." Israel is currently much more powerful then any other middle eastern neighbor. Now you may disregard these verses as irrelevant because they prove the possibility of a Jewish God rather then a Christian God but here comes some more evidence/scripture.(God of the Jews/God of the Christians=one in the same.) There is an entire list of prophecies that have come to pass with the birth of Jesus but the one that is most evidence supporting a Christian God is this verse. According to Isaiah 11:10 The nations shall worship the lord. "In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his place of rest will be glorious." Currently Christianity is worshiped all around the world and stands as the largest religion in the world. Also, Isaiah42:1 suggests the same thing. "Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations." The wide spread of Christianity is evidence supporting a existence of a Christian God. History shows that the spread of Christianity was planned by a higher being. The faith of Christianity was born when Jesus was born sometime during the rule of the Roman empire. There is evidence that the Christians began to spread all around the Roman empire. Letters/writings from Romans of the day suggests this. Pliny the Younger as they call him recorded that "Christian worship practices including the fact that Christians worshiped Jesus as God and were very ethical, and he includes a reference to the love feast and Lord's Supper." Also from The Babylonian Talmud who in his writing speaks of the crucifixion taking place on the eve of Passover and talks about the accusations against Jesus of practicing sorcery and encouraging Jewish rebellion. There is more evidence showing the existence of Jesus/Christians in the Roman empire. Now that being said lets take a look at the spread of Christianity and history. The Roman empire spread throughout Europe and on into the Middle east and the Northern tip of Africa. Now knowing history you will see that Christians spread through out Europe and eventually became the majority of people living in Europe. Later you see the Roman empire fall creating and whole bunch of individual states in Europe. Around 1400 A.D. These states began to grow in power eventually creating an empire's that stretched around the Globe. As the Europeans conquered more and more nations around the world at the same time more and more missionaries began to teach God's love to these conquered people, and in the end Europe's imperialism is what spread the Christian faith. The history speaks for its self, there was obviously a plan it is very unlikely that all of this happened by chance, there must be a higher power. http://www.therefinersfire.org... http://www.adherents.com... http://mb-soft.com... http://bibleforums.org... http://en.wikipedia.org... http://www.gotquestions.org...
