Whose Description of God Is Correct? (Apologetics for Teens Part 6)

The first-cause, design, and moral arguments for God demonstrate that a supreme being exists. Many cultures around the world have recognized this reality because of these types of arguments. The Greeks recognized the existence of a supreme being behind the world, like Aristotle’s “Unmoved Mover.” The Persians held to a monotheistic religion called Zoroastrianism which affirmed a supreme being. Ancient Indian cultures, such as the Nyaya tradition, also posited the existence of a supreme being. Arabic thinkers, such as al-Ghazali, used philosophy to argue for the existence of a supreme being. However, whose description of this supreme being is correct? To determine this, we have to examine the evidence. Christians think that the strongest evidence seems to be that Jesus of Nazareth is this supreme bring; in other words, He was God. By studying history, we see that Jesus actually existed, He claimed to be God, and He did miracles to authenticate His claim to be God. The Apostle Paul in Acts 17 tried to convince Greek philosophers in Athens with a similar type of argument.
