I may have asked a similar request of the Christians of the board before but I don't think I phrased the request well enough to be congenial to a fair discussion.
Dear Christians of the board, what is one single argument (any) you would put forth that you think a person if he/she were fully rational should accept as a sound proof of Christianity?
"proof of Christianity" = proof that the God of the bible exists, that the Jesus of the gospels i.e. the supernatural Jesus who died and rose exists, that the holy spirit exists, that angels and demons, that sin exists, that heaven and hell exists.
It doesn't matter what sort of argument you give. It could be anything so long as you think this argument is something that you think a fully rational person would accept.
What constitutes "rational" person is also whatever you think a rational person is. Before you give your argument, please explicitly define what you think constitutes rational thinking.
You should also define what it means for something to "exist." How do you know whether something exists or not?
Lastly, this is not asking for proof the deistic "God." Only the God of Christianity.
