The God of the Bible Exist

Thank you for keeping to two arguments per round. The reason for this is because some people raise many arguments in a single round and there is not enough space allowed to answer it all. If you ignore some arguments then they claim you could not answer their arguments, If you only answer briefly then they say you did not answer the arguments adequately. Argument 1 - Rebuttal Eye witness statements are not enough evidence for the existence of God In any court of law, Eyewitness accounts are allowed and valid. However, The truthfulness and credibility of the witnesses must be established. The people who witness in the Bible that God exists range from fishermen to doctors. They were persecuted and killed, They did not gain any fame or fortune for preaching the Gospel given by God. The motives and logic behind this indicates that, As witnesses, Their testimony is valid. It is not very logical to assume that these witnesses would be willing to die for a lie or some story that they fabricated. Would you be willing to die for claiming the flying spaghetti monster might exist? Would you be willing to die for believing the homeless guy you mention? The Jews made a covenant with God and this memorial is repeated even today by fathers who pass down the eye witness accounts from generation to generation that God exists. Does it sound logical that a father would lie to his own flesh and blood? Despite facing death, The Jews never changed their tradition because they regard the testimonies handed down as true and faithful. The Jews keep on returning to Israel despite being dispersed to all nations and persecuted, Do you know why? It's because they say that GOD gave them that land. Some may doubt the accounts but this is a tradition that was handed down uniformly. It did not start with one or two persons while being contradicted by others at the same time. It was handed down by the whole nation and the story never changed over thousands of years. There are even accounts found from people who were not Israelites who testify of the relationship God established with Israel. There is consistency and uniformity in their testimony that cannot be denied. For you it may not seem as much but to establish history or to be considered as true in a court of law, It carries a lot of weight. To claim that "eyewitness statements are not enough" is a statement that contradicts logic and cannot be proven true beyond any reasonable doubt because eyewitness accounts are used even today (despite of video, Photography, Social media etc. ) as valid evidence to establish truth. If what you say is true then we cast doubt on everything we know about history. Argument 2 - Rebuttal I believe that the Bible is perfect in that it records the events faithfully that God wants to be known. The Bible contains lies that were told (for instance Genesis states that Eve was told they will not die, But they did), It contains mistakes made by people and so on. That does not mean that the Bible itself is a lie or is a mistake, It means that the Bible accurately and faithfully recorded past events. However, You are correct that I do not believe that God "would do wrong". I disagree with your analysis of 1 Cor 10:13 because you take it out of context. The verse you quote specifically says: "Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able". Paul is saying YOU and in the context of this verse, YOU refers to believers and not all of humanity. Paul specifically addresses his letter to the believers at the Church of the Corinthians, Not anyone and everyone (1 Cor 1:2). Secondly, "what is common to man" does not justify your interpretation that "humanity has caused their temptation". Paul says in the same letter that believers must keep themselves from idols. Idols are lifeless objects and cannot reasonably be associated with humanity. You first substitute "common to man" with humanity and then end up formulating an argument based on "humanity" and how humanity was created that is something different than temptation that is "common to man" and which can be many different things other than humanity. But to address your point, Even though your context is wrong, We find the answer to the problem you create in Romans chapter 5:13 "For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law". Children (up to a certain age) or retards who are not able to understand the law is not under it and therefore sin is not imputed to them. It is not only about what is wrong but also about what is just. To present an analogy, Are you suggesting that if someone decide to jump in front of a car and is killed, That we blame the driver? Killing intentionally is wrong, But if you accidently killed someone then you can be acquitted. According to the Bible, God created humanity with the ability to choose, And that is common to all. The act of choosing based on moral decision making involves temptation as well. I do not see how God can do wrong by being just to those who cannot exercise this common attribute in a logical and reasonable manner like others do.
