Proving God?
I just read this article discussing whether proof of God would in fact destroy Christianity.
It seems that the author has made a few errors. Firstly, he seems to misunderstand the role of free will in Christianity. He says that for God to in effect 'prove' himself would violate the laws of free will. But it would seem to me that instead free will would be upheld in people's choice whether to believe still or not.
But more importantly he has missed the point that God has sent direct evidence of his existence in Jesus. Rossano uses the concept of an engineered and signed package from God, where in actual fact we have a living and true representation of God, in Jesus.
Its interesting to read the some of the comments on this article though (all 3068 of them!) As always a controversial topic.
