Welcome,

Apologetics

Christian Apologetics is about showing the reasonableness of faith in Jesus Christ. There are varying approaches to this subject. One can talk about historical evidences, legal evidences, experiential evidences, philosophical arguments and more. In the end, we actually rely on God communicating the reality of His existence to us, if we are to know anything for sure. Some would argue that He has done this through nature itself. This is a Scriptural viewpoint, as the Bible says that what may be known about God is clear to all men, being understood by the things that are made (see Romans 1).

The main arguments for the reasonableness of faith in Christ appeal to things like fulfilled Bible prophecy, the circumstances around the alleged resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and the changes that many testify to in response to prayer.

A wise Christian understands that without the working of the Spirit of Truth in a person's soul, they may not yield to the truth about God. They may really be unaware of some important truths. Therefore, in the end, though we may believe our arguments are strong, it will take a move of God in response to fervent, heartfelt prayers of righteous people in order to convince people that Christ should be trusted.

How do you know God is real?

We can know God is real when we experience His reality. God wants us to know that He is real. One way you can find out for sure is through an experimental approach. Pray a prayer like this:

"God, if you are real, show me. If you really exist, I want to know before it is too late."

No one else needs to know if you prayed such a prayer. If there is no God, then He can't respond to any prayer. read more »

Evidence for Resurrection of Jesus Christ

Could Jesus Christ really have risen from the dead?

The truth of Christianity stands or falls with one central issue: the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ from death. Christians traditionally celebrate this event on Easter, but it is relevant for every day actually. If this really happened, then everyone should listen carefully to all that He taught. If not, then no one should trust the New Testament, because the New Testament repeatedly says that Jesus did rise from the dead. read more »

Darwinism Debunked - Evolution Exposed

Naturalistic evolution is the idea that systems, especially biological systems, get more complex by themselves, without the need for some mind or spirit to guide their development. Darwinism proposes that minor changes which give certain biological organisms a survival advantage compound over time to produce major variations and changes, and that ultimately this can explain the origin of species, including man. read more »

Atheists Comment

Hi Mr. Fackerell,

Here's a brief response to "Faith in Atheistic Philosophy. Is it so smart?":

In your page, you claim that atheists cannot know that God exists, because they do not have perfect knowledge of all things. However, one does not necessarily need perfect knowledge of all things to prove a universal negative. read more »

Did Jesus Exist?

Is the Bible the only historical evidence that Jesus called the Christ ever lived on earth?

Communists taught that Jesus never even existed. Are Christians foolishly relying on a made-up story about a Jesus that never even existed? Do Christians believe that Jesus exists or existed only because "the Bible says so" or are there other reasons for believing in Jesus' existence?

Well, actually, Jesus is mentioned by early historians who were not Christians. Let's see what we can learn from them about Jesus.

Does God exist?

I shall always be convinced that a watch proves a watchmaker, and that a universe proves a God. - Voltaire

Here we have the saying of an great influential thinker, who was by no means a Christian. Multitudes of great minds have believed and do believe in God's existence, but today some would have us think that belief in God is illogical, foolish and incompatible with observable facts. read more »

Evidence that the Universe and the things we see in nature were Created

There are really only two possibilities.

1. The physical Universe always existed, and the things we see around us are just products of time, chance, matter and energy. People, aliens (if they exist) and all apparently conscious entities are just physical matter and physical energy which have occurred randomly and as a by product of the "laws of physics". These "laws" just "are" - there is no way to explain why they are the way they are. read more »
