Why You Reject the Gospel You who are reading this may be a 'skeptic'. You may not believe that God created the whole universe and sent Jesus. You may think that the vicarious ministry of the cross and resurrection are religious illusions.You may find it very difficult to believe the gospel that Jesus solved the problem of human sin and opened the 'way of salvation'.

How to Confirm the Existence of GodBefore determining whether the statement "God exists, and if you repent and believe in Jesus, you will go to heaven" is true or false, the most critical issue that must be resolved is to confirm whether "God exists or not." If God does not exist, all these secondary debates become meaningless.I will try to verify the existence of God through five systemati.. 2024. 6. 15. 5. Proof of the Existence of God (Deductive Evidence) 5.1. Proof by Deductive ReasoningThe first way to discuss the existence of God is through deductive reasoning. Deductive reasoning begins with premises that are so self-evident to be considered 'true' without requiring 'proof', that is, 'axioms', and obtains additional truths through a logical derivation process (generally syllogism).For example, let's assume there is an axiom that 'if you work .. 2024. 6. 15. 6. Proof of the Existence of God (Inductive Evidence) 6.1. Proof by Inductive ArgumentThe second way to prove the existence of God is through inductive argument based on hypothesis setting.

Empirical Evidence for GodNow let's take a look at some more concrete and empirical evidence for the existence of God. Previously, we were able to confirm the existence of "God" through philosophical and scientific methods. However, if "God" does not "directly" show His existence and power to humans, we would only be able to verify the existence of God in a speculative and academic way.But .. 2024. 6. 15. 8. Are Miracles Possible? 8.1. Irrational and Supernatural Miracles, Are They Really Possible?The Bible describes numerous miracles and supernatural events.

Questions about the Nature and Historicity of the Bible The basis of faith for those who believe in Jesus is the Bible, but isn't the Bible a "historical novel" or "religious scripture" made up by people against the backdrop of ancient Israel 2,000 years ago?Why is the Bible not just a simple religious book but a historical book that records historical facts, and what is the evidence for that? Are the facts and contents recorded in the Bible historic.. 2024. 6. 15. 10. The Archaeological Reliability and Historicity of the Bible Is the Bible truly a record of historical facts written by the inspiration of God, or is it simply an ancient religious text fabricated by human thoughts long ago?What basis do we have for trusting this ancient document called the Bible? Can the biblical record itself be considered reliable by objective standards?10.1. Criteria for Determining the Authenticity of Historical RecordsHow can we det.. 2024. 6. 15. 11. Evidence from Other Documents Is there any other documentation that provides evidence for the facts recorded in the Bible?Do the historical facts recorded in other documents align with the content of the Bible?Is it possible that the Bible was artificially manipulated or recorded historical facts differently?We have previously confirmed that the Bible has overwhelmingly superior 'archaeological' and 'textual' accuracy and re.. 2024. 6. 15. 12. Archaeological Evidence Is there any actual archaeological evidence related to the events, place names, and remains mentioned in the Bible?Do the archaeologically revealed historical facts support the contents of the Bible?So far, we have confirmed that the Bible is an unparalleled document in terms of accuracy and reliability compared to any other ancient historical document describing a person.

The Prophecies of the Bible From now on, we will examine the Bible's prophecies that have been fulfilled in the current generation in which you and I are living, are currently being fulfilled, or will occur in the future.The most clearly fulfilled prophecy in the current generation is the restoration of the nation of "Israel." First, let's briefly look at the history of Israel.The history of the "Israeli" people was a hist.. 2024. 6. 15. 15. Prophecies of the Future So far, we have examined biblical prophecies that have been fulfilled or are currently being fulfilled. So, what does the Bible prophesy about the days to come?

Evidence of God's Existence Revealed in the Origin of the Universe So far, we have examined the historicity and truthfulness of the Bible. You have likely realized by now the falsehood of the vague notion that the Bible is just one among many ancient religious texts filled with mystical stories.

These combined to give rise to primitive life forms which diversified into various organisms through endless evolution. Humans too are a product of this evolutionary process. The Bible states that God created the enti.. 2024. 6. 15. 18. Experiential Evidence So far, we have examined objective evidence supporting the truth of the Bible and God's existence. Such evidence, mainly historical and scientific, has strong objectivity but cannot serve as experiential evidence.This is not to say that the aforementioned "objective evidence" is incomplete or meaningless. It is strong evidence, but it is not evidence that I can feel directly enough to gain a rea.. 2024. 6. 15. 19. Contradictions in God's Attributes If God is righteous and overflowing with love, how can a loving God torment countless people in hell?If people go to hell because of their "sin," isn't God the originator of "sin" and "evil"?

The Way of Salvation If you have now realized that the Bible and the gospel are not simply a religious fantasy made up by humans, but a clear truth, all that remains is to believe in Jesus and be saved.
