/christian/ - Christian Discussion and Fellowship

>especifically

Anyways:

1) Aquinas' Five Ways / Principle of Sufficient Reason

2) Historicity of the Resurrection

3) Credible accounts of supernatural events throughout history

4) Personal unexplainable events

Truth is a man. A personhood and not an abstraction.

Only the Orthodox faith has this explicitly.

A better question that that my atheist friend asked that I need help answering is why is God male?

1) The Minimal Facts Argument

2) Simply looking at the world we live in:

"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."

- C.S. Lewis

Because he incarnated in a male body?

>>734412

God is male because he is supreme authority and men are made in his image while women are made to submit to men.

Tbh the woman only becomes subjected to her husband as a result of the Fall.

Before incarnation gender is a thing that cannot be applied to God. This isn't Mormonism.

>Tbh the woman only becomes subjected to her husband as a result of the Fall.

No, not really. Remember that woman was created for man, they weren't created as equals. This is symbolized by God removing Adam's rib and creating the woman out of that. God created woman so that man isn't alone. So you could say that Man is made in the image of god, and Woman is the personification of God's care for Man.

<For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 1 Cor 11:8-9

<But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 1 Tim 2:12-13
