The existence of God is rationally necessary, as reason demands that something has always existed, with the power of being within itself. This self-existent being is eternal and unchanging, with its being necessary by virtue of rationality and ontological necessity. [... more]

The concept of self-creation is manifestly absurd, as it would require something to exist before it existed. This idea is often used as a substitute for creation by a self-existent, eternal being. Philosophers and scientists have attempted to articulate this concept through various theories, including spontaneous generation and creation by chance. However, these ideas are often based on logical impossibilities and violate the laws of reason and logic. [... more]

The Bible teaches that God's self-disclosure is plain and clear through creation, leaving every person without excuse. The Apostle Paul explains that this revelation is not just a matter of intellectual understanding, but a moral issue that places us in jeopardy when we deny the plain knowledge of God. The psychology of atheism is rooted in the suppression of manifest truth, and Paul argues that ignorance will not stand as an excuse on the last day. [... more]

Doubts in one's salvation are not a sign of a weak faith, but rather a natural part of the Christian journey. The antidote to doubt is faith, which trusts the promises of God to be true beyond what we may be tempted to doubt. Christians can find assurance in their salvation by turning to the Lord and seeking to understand the doctrine of election, which is a mystery that requires trust in God's sovereignty. [... more]

The Christian faith is not based on irrational leaps of faith, but rather on a solid foundation of evidence and reason.

Sproul explains how Immanuel Kant's critique of traditional arguments for God's existence led him to conclude that morality requires a moral standard giver, and that this standard giver must be a perfect judge who is morally upright, omniscient, and omnipotent. Kant's moral argument for God's existence is based on the idea that morality requires justice, and that justice can only be achieved through a perfect judge who enforces his judgment. [... more]

The concept of self-existence is explored in the context of apologetics, where it is argued that a self-existent eternal being is necessary for reality to exist. This being is described as having the power of being within itself, existing eternally, and being uncaused. The idea of necessary being is discussed, with two distinct ways in which God is described as a necessary being: rationally necessary and ontologically necessary. [... more]

The concept of accountability before God is a central theme in the Bible, with the promise of judgment and redemption for those who believe in Him. The idea that there is no God or no afterlife is a lie that people try to convince themselves of, but the evidence of God's existence is all around us. The Bible teaches that every person will be held accountable for their actions, and that the book of life will be opened to reveal the truth about each individual's deeds. [... more]

The concept of self-creation is a flawed idea that attempts to explain the origin of the universe without the need for a creator. Dr. R.C. Sproul critiques the notion of spontaneous generation and gradual spontaneous generation, arguing that they are forms of self-creation that defy logic and reason. He also explores the idea of creation by chance, which is often used to explain the origin of the universe, but is ultimately unsatisfying and irrational. [... more]

Dr. R.C. Sproul presents the classical method of apologetics, arguing that reason demands the existence of a self-existent eternal being to account for the existence of anything else. He explores the differences between proof and persuasion, and how people may resist the existence of God due to emotional reasons or bias. [... more]

The existence of God is a fundamental premise in building a person's life and worldview, and establishing it is crucial in apologetics.

The debate between these two approaches highlights the importance of rationality and self-consciousness in understanding God's existence. [... more]

Philosopher Immanuel Kant questioned whether we can know God's existence through reason, challenging the classical synthesis of Thomas Aquinas.

[... more]

Great minds can come to differing conclusions about significant issues due to logical leaps and errors in deduction. Dr. R.C. Sproul explores the psychology of atheism, discussing formal errors in reasoning, such as equivocation, and factual errors, including empirical mistakes and the limitations of human perception. [... more]

The question of how we know what we know has puzzled people for centuries, with different approaches leading to varying conclusions. Rationalists argue that knowledge comes from the mind, while empiricists believe it's based on sensory experience. This debate has significant implications for understanding the existence of God and the nature of reality. [... more]

The laws of logic and reason are essential to understanding and defending the Christian faith, as they provide a framework for evaluating truth claims and establishing the validity of knowledge. Dr. R.C. Sproul explores the importance of epistemology in apologetics, examining the assumptions and principles that underlie our understanding of reality, including the law of non-contradiction, the law of causality, the basic reliability of sense perception, and the analogical use of language.

St. Thomas Aquinas distinguished between nature and grace, faith and reason, and philosophy and science, but not to separate them, but to show their ultimate unity. He argued for the existence of God through natural theology, using five proofs and the concept of necessary being, which means God's being is ontologically necessary and cannot not be. Aquinas also emphasized the importance of the analogy of being, which highlights the similarity between God and human beings, allowing for meaningful discussion about God. [... more]

The concept of childlike faith is often misunderstood as a shallow, immature understanding of God, but in reality, it's about implicit trust in a higher power.
