Godââ¬â¢s Existence and the importance of the resurrection to Christianity
prominent figures like Richard Dawkins, rescueropher Hitchens have all argued that God does not exist. However, there is historical proof for Gods human beings. Using varied theories, this paper go out show that God, the creator of the universe exists. The proof that God exists is also thinkn in the fact that we have a savior, Jesus Christ. Our compassionate God direct his son Jesus to die for all the worlds sin. The stand by of sin is death, but thanks to God Christ took away this twitch by dying on the cross. Jesus made atonement for sin. It is by means of Christ that we live. Paul wrote triumphantly in 1 Corinthians 1555, O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? Similarly, Christians rejoice because we have victory everywhere death. To begin, proof of Gods existence is seen in the group of cosmogenic arguments. The cosmogenic arguments argon a set of arguments that demonstrate the existence of a sufficient reason or first cause of the existenc e of the cosmos, or the universe as a whole. There are iii different types of cosmological arguments, the Kalam, Thomist and and Leibnizian cosmological arguments. Proponents of the cosmological argument include Plato, Aristotle, and fanny Locke. Contemporary defenders include William Lane Craig, Alvin Plantinga and Richard Swinburne.Aristotle believed the universe existed since eternity and Christian philosopher can buoy Philoponus (490570 AD) seeked to refute this theory (Cambridge Dictionary of Christian Theology). This led to the the kalam cosmological argument. In A Defense of the Cosmological Argument for the Existence of God, William Lane Craig outlines the kalam cosmological argument. Craig states, the universe had a beginning at some moment in the finite past and, since... ...ould be liars (verse 15). Jesus revealed himself to Mary Magdalene and other women. During biblical times, women were seen as second class citizens. Nonetheless, Jesus honored women because they w ere the first to see him after his resurrection. Verse 17 states, no one would be fall by the wayside from sin if Christ had not been raised from the dead. All past believers are dead (verse 18) and Christians would be the most pitiable people on the earth. Luckily, no(prenominal) of the above is true. Because Jesus died on the cross and was raised to life three days later. Believers are forgiven from their sin and are given a stark naked life. As Christians, our belief is not in vain because the resurrections is an actual event. Christ is not dead and our faith is not useless.Opponents of Gods existence argue if an all-knowing and good god exists, why is there such(prenominal) an abundance of evil in the world.
