Common self contradiction of the religious

"Something can't come from nothing!" Unless you propose a magic man to create the something from nothing, because magic fixes everything.
If God exists then something (the universe) didn't come from nothing, it came from a creator.

Is your argument here that God can't exist forever because He is subject to the 2nd law of thermodynamics?

Jesus death on the cross does not make moral accountability non existent but rather the accountability is transfered from the sinner onto Christ at the cross. As Colossians 2:14 says: "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;"

The reason that the universe requires a cause is because the current scientific data is interpreted to say that the universe cannot be eternal. If the universe was eternal it wouldn't need a cause. If the universe is not eternal, then it must have a cause.

Me:"The universe is made of magic pixie dust, it can create itself."
Theist:"How can it create itself? Isn't that logically incoherent?"
Me:"Oh, this is a special transcendent pixie dust, and is above the laws of logic, so it doesn't apply. Without the universe creating itself, how else could it exist? Something can't come from nothing unless it causes itself to exist!(that is my metaphysical assumption you need to accept)"
Theist:"...."
....then something didn't come from nothing.

If it could be proven beyond doubt that God exists...
and that He is the one spoken of in the Bible...
would you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ?
