DOES GOD EXIST?
The historical evidence for Christianity centers on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, which are supported by early, well-attested documents such as the New Testament, as well as non-Christian sources like Josephus and Tacitus. The rapid growth of the early church, the willingness of the apostles to die for their claims, and the empty tomb all point to the resurrection as a real historical event, not a legend or myth.

DOES OBJECTIVE TRUTH EXIST? – John 14:6b
Objective truth is truth that is true for all people, at all times, regardless of beliefs or feelings. In Christianity, Jesus is seen as the embodiment of objective truth. In John 14:6, Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." This means that truth is not just an idea, but a person—Jesus—who reveals the ultimate reality about God, humanity, and salvation. Christians believe that following Jesus is following the truth that applies to everyone, everywhere. In the late 1800s, objective truth was fragmented into 5 "truths": Perspectivism, Relativism, Subjectivism, Pragmatism, . Inspired by the idea of Immanuel Kant. Immanuel Kant changed the understanding of truth by arguing that we don’t experience reality directly as it truly is (the noumenal world), but only as it appears to us through our senses and mental categories (the phenomenal world). He claimed that the human mind actively shapes our experience of the world, meaning truth is not just discovered but filtered through our perception. This shifted the focus from purely objective truth to a more subjective, human-centered understanding of knowledge. While Kant affirmed that truth and reality exist, he believed reason alone cannot fully access them—especially when it comes to ultimate questions like the existence of God.

IS JESUS THE ONLY WAY?
Religion is a set of beliefs and practices centered around the worship of a higher power or ultimate reality. It often includes moral teachings, sacred texts, rituals, and a sense of purpose or meaning in life. Religion helps people understand the big questions of life—such as where we come from, why we’re here, and what happens after death. Religion can be categorized into 4 major categories: Atheism/Agnostism Scientism Polytheism Monotheism How does Jesus fit into all these 4 categories?

About Lesson

The existence of God is supported by strong philosophical, scientific, historical, and moral evidence—such as the beginning of the universe (Kalam Cosmological Argument), the fine-tuning of the universe, the existence of objective moral values, and the historical evidence for Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. These collectively point to a personal, intelligent Creator. If God exists, then atheism (which denies God’s existence) is false, and agnosticism (which claims we can’t know) is unreasonable in light of the available evidence.

Polytheism is a type of religion that believes in and worships multiple gods or deities, each with distinct roles, powers, and personalities. These gods often represent natural forces (like the sun, wind, or sea), human emotions, or aspects of life such as love, war, or fertility.

Key Features of Polytheism:

  • Many gods: Each god has specific responsibilities and domains (e.g., a god of the sky, a goddess of harvest).

  • Mythology: Rich stories explain the gods’ origins, actions, and relationships with humans.

  • Rituals and worship: Followers often offer sacrifices, prayers, and festivals to honor different gods.

  • Cultural influence: Polytheistic religions are deeply tied to the culture and history of a people.

Examples of Polytheistic Religions:

  • Ancient Greek and Roman religions (e.g., Zeus, Athena, Mars, Venus)

  • Hinduism (many deities like Vishnu, Shiva, Lakshmi, though some view it as ultimately monotheistic)

  • Norse mythology (Odin, Thor, Freya)

  • Egyptian religion (Ra, Isis, Osiris)

In short, polytheism is a religious system with many gods, but Christianity affirms that there is only one true God, revealed through Scripture and the person of Jesus Christ.

CONCLUSION

If there is one all-powerful, infinite, and eternal God, then the idea of multiple gods becomes logically impossible. An all-powerful God would have no equal—no other being could share His ultimate power, authority, or existence. Multiple gods would limit each other, meaning none would be truly supreme. Therefore, the existence of one true God logically nullifies the concept of many gods, because true divinity cannot be divided or shared.
