What are some evidences that the God of the bible is true?
What is the evidence?
What are the two types of Gods revelation that would tell us that the God of bible is the true and living God?
#1 Special Revelation
This is the miracles and overriding of the laws of nature where God can step in. Examples would be the parting of the red sea.
"special revelation" is God's intervention to make God's will and knowledge available that would not otherwise be available through general revelation.
Other means by which God gave special revelation were by "divine voice or writing", "angels", "prophets", "visions" "dreams", "divine dictation", "inspiration" and "Spirit's guidance or guidance from the Holy Ghost".
#2 General Revelation
This is the the testimony of creation of the Godness and power of God such as observation of nature, philosophy and reasoning, conscience or providence.
Any more thoughts?
Not a bad post but I don't know if you can evangelize anyone on the internet. They say the wand chooses the wizard right? God chooses you and for the folks that don't believe, God could get them to believe if he wanted to. It's your job to testify to your beliefs in your actions. Reasoning doesn't win people over. It probably scares them away. Tell people not to go to church, and more of them probably will.
The bible teaches that we are to give a reason for our faith if anyone asks. I am approaching common questions I get asked. Thanks.
Evidences?
All of natural theology: the Ontological Argument, Cosmological Argument, Teleological Argument, etc.
Also, philosopher Alvin Plantinga has argued that God's existence is a "basic belief", that is, a fact known by the mind without evidence required. Thus, it would be rational, even without evidence, to believe in God, because he has given us knowledge of him directly.
I would add that the Scriptures have the power to convict, which would also bestow direct knowledge.
Yep great points
