The Evidence for Christ

This is a brief introduction, not a fully detailed account as I am not as well versed in the subject as people who are much older than I am.

To begin I would first point out the Kalam's Cosmological argument was designed to prove a theistic God not just Allah, so with that in Mind I will be starting my series of statements with the Kalam argument along side a few additional points to help lay a better metaphysical ground. Secondly due to the subject matter it is entirely impossible to maintain wholly under materialistic science as there are parts that delve into metaphysics.

1) The second law of thermo dynamics allows us to outlaw an infinitely old universe

2) This is the result of the universe constant state of entropy (losing energy)

3) Therefore the universe must have had a definitive beginning

4) Now then turning to the laws which define scientific thinking we look at the law of Causality

5) The law of Causality: All actions are caused by entities. The nature of an action is caused and determined by the nature of the entities that act; a thing cannot act in contradiction to its nature.

6) Through the law of Causality we know that the universe had an entity that began the singularity.

7) Because the singularity was the initial point of the big bang, the entity must be of a metaphysical nature as all things natural could not exist prior to the singularity.

8) since the entity is of metaphysical nature we now turn to the evidence for why I so proudly proclaim Christ as the Son of God.

9) Of all the world religions I have had the Chance to read about, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are the only religions that make any remote sense on a cosmological scale.

10) Meaning they are the only religions that I have found to be correct under the guidelines of the Kalam argument.

11) knowing that only one of those three can be true as truth means it excludes everything contradictory to it.

12) we are left to examine Jesus Christ, both historically and biblically

13) from a Historical perspective we know that the Man Jesus did in fact claim to be the son of God

14) Biblically we know that the old testament was canonized prior to the writing of the new testament so the bible in and of itself could not have been written by a single man at a single time.

15) the new testament stands true under the same level of analysis as witness statements in cold cases.

16) the new testament has more ancient text to back it up than Julius Caesar.

17) because we know the bible is Authentic we know that 500 people saw him alive after his death.

18) we know he was actually dead due to the fact that when his side was pierced with a spear water and blood came out

19) thus people saw him after he was dead

20) therefore He rose from the dead

21) therefore He met all of the messiah prophecies of the old testament

22) we are now left with only Christianity because the Quran denies the resurrection and Judaism denies the prophetic fulfillment in Christ

this was a very basic outline of the evidence to fully explain every detail of every step it would take books. If you are interested in learning more about the subject I turn you to books by Norman Geissler, J. Warner Wallace, Frank Turek, and Lee Strobel. All of them were Atheists prior to researching the bibles authenticity and the claims of the resurrection, they are all Christians now.
