It’s worth noting however that the Biblical statement “Nothing is impossible with God” is not the same as saying “Anything is possible with God” since there is at least five things the Scriptures state God cannot do (lie, sin, be unfaithful, change, cease to be). He is indeed powerful as His exclusive right to the title “Almighty” suggests. “Nothing is impossible with God” the Scriptures proclaim. “God is love!” goes way beyond this modest understatement that God is loving. Is God loving and powerful? The Scriptures clearly assert this. Another example might be “If God created everything, who created God?” This question assumes that everything (including God) has been created- when logic demands that something must be eternal (it has always existed) since it is illogical that something could spring from nothing. For example, a question like, “ Why do all criminals chew gum?” assumes that all criminals chew gum. This particular question has two propositions- since it assumes something about God, and something about the world in which we live.įor a question to be reasonable its propositions must be true. Before we answer a question like this we have to identify the propositions within the question. Before I could address this question though, I needed to share some insights into how we generally answer such objections to Christianity. This is the question I was recently asked to address to a gathering of year 9 school students. Home > articles > Is The World Really Getting Darker?
