Hello I am a Christian and believe that it is true. I have grown up always desiring God and to serve him. He had showed himself to me ever since. I believe Christianity is true because I see how God works in the life of Christians. There are many reasons that I believe Christianity is true. I always look back at the words of God in the Bible. The word of God has always interested me because I knew I needed it. I do not understand why people do not believe in a God. I use to have my doubts but then I have found evidence for the truth and then believed. I look around and see God's creation and think: Wow there is no way this is by Chance. I look at Israel and see the footsteps of Jesus. Where he walked and where he taught. Sometimes I can not explain to people how much Christ has done for me. I have come here at this Debate to prove that there is a God and that Christianity is true.The believe that I will be asked: Is there extra Biblical evidence? What is the Extra Biblical evidence? I believe my opponent will use Cosmological Arguments. I started defending the faith three years ago. My desire is that all people may go to Heaven and that all people may get to know Jesus. I am 16 years old and I strongly stand firm in my Faith in the existence of God. I believe in an intelligent designer. I will point back to the resurrection of Jesus Christ and will deduce the evidence in this debate. Most of all I will use deductive Logic(Formal Logic). So I hope I give satisfactory evidence and reasoning to support the truth of Christianity and existence of God.

Its not Karma. Karma is in regards to Reincarnation. I do not believe in reincarnation. But most certainly in your context this is not reincarnation nor Justice from God but just simply Gods Permissive Decree for things like that to happen.

I wouldn't necessarily want to tell you to shut up but I will stand up for what I think is right. We are Americans and I completely disagree with an Anti-American mindset. I live here. I love America and so does God. I do not like the politicians and government. But I do like the Land. God Bless America!!!!

And to Answer the Question. No it is not cool to be Anti-American.

Jesus paid the price of sins. But sins must be Justified. God is a Righteous Holy God and must do what is right. Salvation is a gift. He paid the price of sins to buy for salvation. We must acknowledge that Jesus is Savior and recieve him as Savior. He paid the price we couldnt pay but as long as we accept the gift that Jesus paid for, we can have Eternal Life. God Bless.

God created us for his enjoyment. But then we disobeyed him after the Fall. But God still Loves us. God has always loved us and will continue to Love us. Gods Grace is greater than all our sin. Its because of his Love that he gives us Grace. Therefore; God's Love is greater than all our sin. God loved us so much he sent his son on Earth to die for us and rise again. I know that God for sure loves us Humans more than the Universe itself. If God didn't love us we would all be in Hell right now. The Earth would of been destroyed after Adam and Eve. And since God knows all things in all time(past,present,and future) then heck why did he created us if he knew he would never love us. God loves us so much he sent us his son. God loves us and does not consider us as Mosquitoes.

I am pro-life because its not the women's body but its the Baby's. If you don't want a baby then don't have sex. That Simple. I understand that its the women's body but once the Baby is alive inside the womb then the Body is no longer hers but its the Baby's body. Its the Women's body through free will and soul but not by authority. Her Body belongs to God rather you like it or not. Just a man's body belongs to God same it shall be for a women. The women is allowed to do what she wants with her body but once you kill a Baby in the womb then you are held accountable. Its a sin called Murder.

I understand that if she is raped, but sin is sin. Your job as a unintentional mother is to raise your child no matter what circumstance. God allows that to happen for a reason. All bad things are made good when God works out his plan. There is no good reason to murder a baby inside a womb. Murder is Murder. Your job would be to raise the baby to be a moral important person. To be exact, your job is to raise your child to be a mature Christian to serve Christ. You never know; maybe this Baby can lead you to Christ as it gets older. If worse comes to worse don't abort but send to an adoption center as the baby gets older. God allows things to happen so that it may come back to his Glorification. God will make good out of the baby that you do not abort the baby. Trust God and let God work in your life. Don't Abort but wait to see what God is going to do with you.

Mormons believe the 3 other books that Joseph Smith created. And claim that they believe the Bible. This is were Logic and Reasoning comes in to play. I will give an example in Mormonism when you can use Logic and Reasoning; Here is the Issue: Is Joseph Smith a False Prophet? Well lets reason it out. We believe the Bible is true. What one was made first: The Bible, book of mormon, pearl of great price, or doctrine of covenants? The Answer is The Bible. Those other books were made in the 19th century. Then since you know that the Bible came first then you must look at what the Bible says. The Bible tells us that there will be false prophets. At the end of the book of Revelation(in the Bible) it says not to add anything else in the Word of God and the Bible. God would of added the Mormon books in the Bible. The Bible says not to add any words to his words. Jesus said to watch out for false prophets. The Bible is complete and anything else outside of the Bible is not to be trusted by its words alone unless it be fully backed up by the Bible. Those books pick some verses to support the beliefs of the "credibility" of his vision. But those verses are used out of context. And Logically we can look back at the Bible and see that any prophet outside of the Bible is a False Prophet. The Bible warns of false prophets. Many centuries later this "prophet" claims to be prophet because he sawl a vision. The Bible warns people to not believe any Gospel that is preached outside of his word(The Bible). So what is a Prophet that is not preaching the true Gospel? A false prophet. Therefore Joseph Smith is a false prophet. That is one example of how to use Logic and Reasoning when dealing with Philosophy and other things. There are many other reasons that prove that Joseph Smith is a False Prophet and that Mormonism is not Christian. Part 3

They are far from Christian. They dont have the essential beliefs that the Bible teaches. They did not recieve Jesus therefore their not Christian. Like I have said before: If you have recieved then you are a Christian. Christians are Christ like because when they recieve Jesus they have a new nature that is similar to his. You only get that Nature when you recieve Jesus as Lord and Savior. You get Saved and Born Again when you ask Jesus to come into your life. You must be Born Again to have his( Jesus) nature thus being Christ like. Therefore you must be born again to be a Christian. Mormons do not believe that. Mormons believe that Jesus was an Angel. They believe that Elohim(God the Father) had sex with Mary and created Jesus. That is Blasphemy. They do not believe that Jesus is just as powerful as his Father in Heaven. Christianity is Monergistic Monotheism while Mormonism is Synergistic kathenotheism(Henotheism). They say they believe the Bible but if you really look at their other books you would have to say to yourself: They have some serious misinterpretations of the Bible. You must use Logic and Reasoning when it comes to Extra Biblical references. In other words; Whenever you look at other references that is "Bible related" you must use Logic and Reasoning to interpret and accept extra references as true. Part 2

I completely agree. They are no where near in any agreement with what the Bible says who God is nor what the Bible says who Jesus is. They don't believe the essential teachings of Salvation.

A Christian is someone who recieved Christ as personal Lord and Savior. Why is it important to recieve Jesus as Lord and Savior? Because were sinners and we need a Savior. We are helpless and need to be saved. We can't save ourselves through being a good person but through accepting Jesus's sacrifice on the cross to pay for your sins. Why trust Jesus? Because he is the Son of the one and only God. That Jesus is 100% equal with The Father and the Holy Spirit. There there is One God and three persons which are all equal in intrinct,power, etc... We can trust Jesus because he is God and is that perfect sacrifice for our sins. Jesus has always been God. Salvation is free and has been paid for by Jesus sacrifice on that cross. The only thing we need to do is believe in what Jesus did on the cross and his purpose for doing that. That is was his Grace that he did that. Then ask Jesus to save you from Hell and to be your Lord and Savior of your life. If you have done that then you have recieved Jesus as your Lord and Savior. But Mormons do not believe the Essentials of the Christian Faith. Part 1

Satanism is a deceitful religion. You are worshipping Satan which leaves you open to possession by him or demons. He may appear to be nice or to be trusted but he is most certianly not. Morals stand by the rules of the creater. Satan is very deceitful. Gods Morals stands at the ten commandments. People often get confused of what Christianity is. Christian means to be Christ like. Therefore Christianity is a relationship with God not a religion. The problem here is that you have non-christians thinking their christians going out make a name for themselves that confuses others with supplication of wrong doctrines and not making adequate application. You can only become a christian when you receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. You must read the Bible to get the proper Morals. Do not look at the hypocrites because they are not what a Christian looks like. Just look at the Bible and see what God has laid out for us. I highly recommend that you do not go in Satanism to find Morals because you will end up demon possessed. Demon Possession isn't always painful. But the demons will deceive you and control some of your actions. God Bless you and may you serve Christ not Satan.

Jesus is all God and all Man. No reincarnation. Jesus is the second person in the Trinity. Jesus has always been God. Not Eve!!!!!!! There is no such thing as Reincarnation. "Its appointed for man once to die but after that the Judgement(Hebrews 10:27)" Each person only lives once first of all. Second of all; Jesus is God and is the second person in the Trinity. Jesus, Holy Spirit, and The Father are the same in power, existence,etc... Jesus in no way is a Reincarnated person. That is Blasphemy to say that almighty God who sent his son to die- Jesus is Almighty God the second person of the Trinity. That is Blasphemy.

First if all: Israel gave their some of their land to the Palestinians. All the land they have was given to them by God. Not already occupied. That land was theirs (Israelites) to begin with.

Second of all: Israelites are not evil but strictly Moral and will not allow any evil acts from other nations. Israel is our ally( Americas). Israel warns other nations and its citizens. No way they are evil.

Not true. I dont believe in God to feel good but because I know there is a God and has searched for a God and has found him. I dont just fake belief in God but want to have a good relationship with God. God is proven true through his son Jesus.There is truth out there but you cant just disregard truth based on what you feel is True. You just need more truth and better reasoning and may want to consider to search for a God. Because if you play the game "oh maybe God is real" then your playing a dangerous game. Because if God is real and you havent gotten Right with God through his son then your going to Hell. A Righteous God must send all Unrighteous to Hell. You can only be justified through his son. If you really care about the truth then you will really search for God sincerely.

There is a God for sure. The perfection of the things out here had to be created with an intelligent mind. No way a big bang made everything perfect and reasonably stable. "The Big Bang" started with one atom? The explosion from one Atom would only have enough force to create a nuclear explosion without not create a whole Universe with perfect life on Earth. You cannot disprove the existence of God. Ceasar only has 3 eyewitnesses of his Existence which then clarifies his existence but Jesus 18 eyewitnesses of his Existence and you still can't believe? Jesus had been proven to be the son of God. There is no good reason for Athiesm to be true. The proof of Jesus is the proof of God's existence. They definitely did not make up the stories of Jesus. All of the Canon(66 books in the Bible) agrees within its self. For example; Luke will give another perspective of Jesus in the same event as what Matthew wrote. Athiest say that the Gospels contradict each other but it actually appears to contradict each but it does not. Apparent contradictions are good to see from different eyewitnesses because if they said the same event exactly the same then it would appear that they set up a made up story. But you can put the perspectives of different eyewitnesses stories into one. Just like there can be 4 witnesses of a wonderful BBQ. One can talk about the grass, one can talk about the Chicken,one can talk about the salad, and one can talk about the fireworks. Each testimony may not talk about the same things about the BBQ nor have the same order but if you put all of the 4 testimonies together you will then get a full picture of the BBQ. They may even address what the other testimonies did address also but in a different way. Ok you get the point. The Bible is proven true through Archaeology and reason. God is proven true through the ressurection of his son Jesus. Prophecy proves the Bible to be true. Science and God agrees with each other. We dont agree with the Atheistic philosophy of science. If you come at the right approach then you will understand that science proves God. "There is no good reason for Athiesm to be true." William Lane Craig stated. I completely agree on that statement from Craig.

Having Cancer is not wrong. It is not a sin but happens because of sin. Everyone sins. Sometimes things just happen that cause cancer. Cancer happens by many possibilities. God allows things to happen due to our sinful nature. There is no specific sin that causes Cancer. Its not sin that causes Cancer but God allowing cancer because of sin. Lets get it straight first: #1 God doesn't want any to perish at all. God wouldn't directly put cancer on someone unless he has a really good reason. 99% of the time there is no reason. God puts some things (diseases,cancer, sickness,etc...) on people so that they can live a better life closer with God. God will allow things to happen to people to draw us closer to him. God might use cancer. Remember that most of the time God will not directly cause Cancer to happen. #2 Sin will not cause cancer.

Its just completely wrong to say that sin causes cancer. God allows it to happen but 99% of the time doesnt directly cause it to happen.

No. If we have complete freedom we would destroy each other. There must be law to obtain freedom. There must be restrictions to keep freedom. Freedom is being able to choose between many choices. But there cannot be choices that will hurt others and etc....

Absolute freedom does not exist because there are some things we cannot do that we want to do. We do not have all the choices to do things like we want to.

God is the same yesterday ,today, and always will ne. There is only one God. God showed himself as a powerful God in the Old Testament so that they know that your doing wrong. Christ now shows his love to bring all to Salvation. God has always loved humanity abd always will. I will follow up with this Later.

I completely agree on what your saying but when you stated that you must change your ways to go to heaven. Not true. You must recieve Jesus and trust him as your savior to get to Heaven. Repent in the Bible means a change of someones mind. What Does that mean? It means you must change your Mind about God and you. You must no longer believe that you're able to get to heaven on your own but that you need a savior. Repentance does not mean in the context that its a change of ways. If it was it would be legalism. Because changing your ways is work. Salvation is a Free gift from God. Romans 6:23. I encourage that you read the book of Romans verse by verse. Dont think that you must change your mind to be saved. Thats not what Jesus is saying. But what he is saying is that Mindset of that we can save ourselves( synergism/Legalism) must change into a Mindset of that you must be saved and its God alone that saves ( Monergism) through his son. That Christ is the Only way to Heaven. God Bless you and may the good Lord be with you.

Yes there is a reason God had to sacrifice his son because were sinful and need a Savior. God will not let sin into heaven and had to pay a blood sacrifice. No Human could so Jesus came. Romans6:23( For the Wages of sin is death but the gift of God is Eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord). He sacrificed himself because he loves us so much John3:16. God is a Righteous and will do what is right. Just because some will accept Jesus as Savior does not mean that he wouldnt die for the whole world. God loves us so he wanted to provide a way through his son. Without the sin sacrafice there would be no way to heaven. You would still be able to escape Hell but will not go to Heaven. God brought people to a place called Abrahams Bosom. Which was a holding place for those who trusted in Jehovah(God the Father); its not purgatory. There is no purgatory. Its in the Catholic Bible which is not Archeologically proven. But the King James Bible is proven accurate. We will save that debate for another time. Anyway, eventhough you could not go to heaven you could still be saved from hell by trusting in God the Father. But without the sacrifice of Jesus you could not go to Heaven. Sin had to be paid for in order for you to go to Heaven. But back in the Old Testament you had to sacrifice things to not be punished. The sacrifices were not for you to go to Heaven but for you to worship God and do what he asked. Sacrifice with Blood. Jesus sacrificed his himself with his own blood. God loves all and has paid the price for all the Sinners through his son Jesus. No Hell was not Destroyed forever Because Jesus talked about Hell so much and has warned us about Hell so much. Also; Jesus put the sins of the world in Hell after he died on the cross. We are condemned unless we recieve Jesus and accept his Gift of Salvation. The Bible has been Archeolically proven in many ways. Thousands of copies proven and put together as one Document. All of these scrolls all line into one story. Look at prophecy. In scriptures you see they are coming into affect and them testifying from Thousands of years apart. The Bible is True and just think of it this way: God is real and wants to reveal himself to you and has revealed himself through out the Bible. All you got to do is serk him truly and soon you will find him. There is proof of his resurrection throughout archaeology. Ill come back to you later. God Bless you and may he reveal himself to you.

Jesus spoke in Parables because he wanted them to think and dwell on it. But mainly all these parables had heavenly meanings. God had explained the parables to the Disciples at a different time. Look at Paul; he had so much doctrine being preached. Jesus must of explained to the Disciples. Just think; Jesus died and rose again for the sins. 500 men sawl him go into heaven. There are many copies of these scriptures. These Disciples would not die for something that was not 100 true. Lets face it: just because you can't understand it doesn't mean that its not true.

Im sorry I rushed reading and didnt realize that you said he was a devout Christian. No God will not send him to Hell.

Thats the only way you can stop crime. No other method will work.

You must understand that God will send all to Hell unless you receive his son Jesus. God is Righteous and Holy and you cannot assume that God will let us all to Heaven because we cannot keep the Law. The purpose of the Law is that we know that were all helpless and need a savior. No no no no no: Just because Jesus died on the Cross does not mean everyone is already saved but must be justified to get to heaven. Salvation is a gift. Were going to Hell unless we receive Jesus.
