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.

You just remember in the U.S.A. we have freedom of religion, guaranteed by the Constitution. In this country people are free to believe any religion they wish. Religious intolerance and fanatism has caused great harm down through history.

The best way to know things is evidence-based rationality, i.e. the scientific method. Step-out of the ignorance of the dark ages into the bright light of rationality and humanistic values.

BTW you are wrong - The burden of proof IS on the one making the claim.

@badminton Christians don't have anything to prove. God already did that and He doesn't need anyone's help. We either believe God or we don't. If you make the claim that God is ficticious, then give your reasons for believing so, and proof that you're right.

@badminton We also have freedom from religion.

This guy is an attention seeker and we feed it. Only his point of view matters, not rationality.

@badminton There's absolutely nothing Dark Age about science and God intermingling. Science compliments God's handiwork. And if it weren't for God giving his wisdom to man, we wouldn't even have science.

@badminton and that puts the burden of proof that God doesn't exist on the non believers. Look around Baddy and explain to us how you know God doesn't exist when you, yourself exist.

@JollyRoger As far as I'm concerned people can believe in any religion they want AS LONG as they respect the rights of others to do the same and respect the secular nature of our public institutions.

It doesn't matter to me if my neighbor believes in one God, 20 Gods or no God at all. As long as they don't try to rob me, assault me or try to force their beliefs on me I am content to live and let live.

@badminton Good attitude! The reason I commented back to you was because you seemed to be putting the onus on someone to 'prove' that God exists. As you say: Believe what you want.

@JollyRoger @badminton @BlueSkyKing

We also have freedom from religion.

Who said anything about religion? Man made organized religion is a danger to anyone caught in it. This is why God hates it so much.

True but there's the other side of the coin that states that we're responsible to believe in the Truth rather than the lie. This is the absolute truth that's been established before the foundations of the earth. This side of the coin often neglected because people want to be their own god rather than have God in their lives. No wonder this fallen world of ours is in such a mess.
