1. Truth about reality is knowable.
2. The opposite of true is false.
3. It is true that the theistic God exists.
This is evidenced by the:
a. Beginning of the universe (Cosmological Argument)
b. Design of the universe (Teleological Argument/
Anthropic Principle)
c. Design of life (Teleological Argument)
d. Moral Law (Moral Argument)
4. If God exists, then miracles are possible.
5. Miracles can be used to confirm a message from God (i.e., as
acts of God to confirm a word from God).
6. The New Testament is historically reliable. This is evidenced
by
:
a. Early testimony
b. Eyewitness testimony
c. Uninvented (authentic) testimony
d. Eyewitnesses who were not deceived
7. The New Testament says Jesus claimed to be God.
8. Jesus’ claim to be God was miraculously confirmed by:
a. His fulfillment of many prophecies about himself;
b. His sinless life and miraculous deeds;
c. His prediction and accomplishment of his resurrection.
9. Therefore, Jesus is God.
10. Whatever Jesus (who is God) teaches is true.
11. Jesus taught that the Bible is the Word of God.
12. Therefore, it is true that the Bible is the Word of God (and
anything opposed to it is false).

It’s important to understand that the universe is not expanding into
empty space, but space itself is expanding—there was no space before
the Big Bang. It’s also important to understand that the universe did not
emerge from existing material but from nothing—there was no matter
before the Big Bang. In fact, chronologically, there was no “before” the
Big Bang because there are no “befores” without time, and there was no
time until the Big Bang.9 Time, space, and matter came into existence at
the Big Bang.

C. S. Lewis said it best when he wrote, “There are only two kinds
of people in the end: those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done,’ and those
to whom God says, in the end, ‘Thy will be done.’ All that are in Hell,
choose it. Without that self-choice there would be no Hell. No soul that
seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek
find. To those who knock it is opened.”5
