The Lie: The Burden Of Proof Is On The Believers The Truth: The Burden Of Proof Is On The Skeptics

Skeptics keep saying that the burden of proof is on us, when in reality, the burden of proof is on them.

It has already been established that God lives and His Word is Truth. Nobody can change that.

It has already been established that He alone is the one true God and nobody can change that.

This is what God says about Himself:

“I am El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty.’ Genesis 17:1
I Am Who I Am. Say this to the people of Israel: I Am has sent me to you.” Exodus 3:14
And God said to Moses, “I am Yahweh—‘the Lord.’ Exodus 6:2
“I am the Lord who heals you.” Exodus 15:26
“I am merciful.” Exodus 22:27
“Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.” Exodus 34:6
“Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.” Psalm 46:10
“I am the Lord; that is my name! I will not give my glory to anyone else, nor share my praise with carved idols.” Isaiah 42:8
I, yes I, am the Lord, and there is no other Savior. First I predicted your rescue, then I saved you and proclaimed it to the world. No foreign god has ever done this. You are witnesses that I am the only God,” says the Lord. Isaiah 43:11-12
“From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can snatch anyone out of my hand. No one can undo what I have done.” Isaiah 43:13
This is what the Lord says— your Redeemer and Creator: “I am the Lord, who made all things. I alone stretched out the heavens. Who was with me when I made the earth?” Isaiah 44:24
Jesus answered, “I am. And in the future, you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of God, the Powerful One, and coming on clouds in the sky.” Mark 14:62
“I am the light of the world. The person who follows me will never live in darkness but will have the light that gives life.” John 8:12
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me will have life even if they die. John 11:25
Jesus answered, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. The only way to the Father is through me.” John 14:6
The Lord God says, “I am the Alpha and the Omega. I am the One who is and was and is coming. I am the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8

This is what God had said about Himself and what Jesus had said about Himself. What they have said had already been established as Truth and nobody can ever change it.

What has been written in the Word of God as mankind's history has been established as man's history and nobody can change it.

God has proven and is still proving Himself to mankind and nobody can change it.

Now, it is up to the skeptic to disprove what God has already established to be the Truth.

The problem with nonbelievers is that they dont believe in the bible. Its like another religion tries to convince you that their religion is true based on their religious book. You wouldnt believe them. I think as Christians we need to show who God is and His truth through the natural world. Then when they want to listen, show them His word.

@Random3838 Chistians have on multiple occasions savagely fought each other over interpretation of the bible. Study the 30 Years War and the 4th crusade that destroyed (Christian) Constantinople.

@Random3838 When they are shown the Word of God and what God says is true, they come up with the excuse that scripture cannot be used as evidence. God meant it as evidence. I think if people don't want to know who God is, they'll use any excuse in the world, but Jesus said to share the gospel, since His mission was accomplished here on Earth and he ascended into heaven. And yes, not all will believe, that's a given. That's a choice only they can make and I hope they will listen to the Holy Spirit when he calls on them.

Jesus gave his ultimate best and MORE than proved Himself to mankind, which was his own life so that he could save us from the condemnation that sin placed on us. Yet sinful man demands more. Think about this. Even though Jesus came in person and did miracles right before people's eyes, some still rejected him. I don't know how they could have missed it seeing the blind get their sight back and the lame to walk again. So what does this tell us? Jesus said even if one were kind of to come back from the dead and confirm that Jesus is alive, even then, some wouldn't believe. Jesus already proved himself so we don't need proof. We need faith! People can stand around and argue whether or not there is a God or not and if he's alive, all they want, but they can't see the trees for the forest. God didn't leave us to guess how to be saved. We either want to be saved or we don't, and if we do, I don't think we're going to be arguing about every little thing that we don't know, but rather than recognize and appreciate and be grateful for what God did tell us and show us, which was the most important thing of all... how to be saved. That's all we really need to know to get to heaven. It is enough. Jesus is enough, yet some will argue until they lose that opportunity, and wouldn't that be foolish, to lose your own soul just because you had to have all the answers. Satan will have us stall in disbelief, that's for sure. He doesn't want us to have salvation and Eternity in heaven, but that's up to us. I think it would be foolish to miss the opportunity to just trust what God says in His Word, and be saved. A person would have nothing whatsoever to lose, by accepting Jesus as Savior, but if they continue in disbelief, rather than just trust God and take Him at His word, they'll lose everything, including their own soul. God said so. And that would be such a tragedy. One thing we all know and that is that this Earth is not going to last long, so I think it would be really wise to prepare for the afterlife, instead of everyone debating it. Because our souls are definitely going to go one place or the other and we don't want to leave them to chance. That's for sure. Make no decision and leave our soul to chance and not prepare it for heaven, and our souls will definitely not enter Heaven because we cannot drag our sins into heaven with us, so we must ask Jesus to forgive us. There's nothing hard about that.

@badminton I have seen more people attack Christians, then Christians fighting with each other. True, there were wars, but in this present day, it is obvious that Christians are basically in agreement with doctrine. God's Word says that in the last days many will persecute Christians and that is exactly what is happening. God said it would be even worse in the last days, and it is. I don't think there's any need to argue. People share their beliefs on here, whatever they may be, and that's okay. Not all have to agree nor will agree, but I think it is wrong to argue back and forth. I think we can be adults and show each other respect by just listening, and if we disagree, that's okay too, but at least we can be civil to each other in discussing these things, whatever they may be. Constructive criticism is fine and we can all learn from each other, but when it gets to attacking the person themselves, that's a different story and not necessary.
