Produktbeschreibung

The greatest question in life is, "Is there a God?" Related to that are such questions as: "How do you know there is a God? Is it reasonable to believe there is a God? If there are reasons to think there is a God, what are they?" Assume there is a God, the next logical question is, "Has God sent a message to the people on planet Earth? If so, "What is the message? The Bible claims to be such a message, but that claim provokes even more questions. Are there reasons to believe that the Bible is a word from God? Are there books in the Bible that should not be there? Are there books that should be in the Bible but were not included? Do we have an accurate copy of what was originally written? Some translations of the Bible include notes stating that this verse is not found in the best manuscripts. That means that not all manuscripts agree. How do we know which manuscripts are accurate? Peter says that believers should "always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear" (1 Peter 3:15). What are the reasons for the hope believers have? In Is It Reasonable to Believe That There Is a God?, G. Michael Cocoris discusses the nature of proof, lists the reasons for believing there is a God, and that God has sent the human race a message. He also lists reasons for believing that we have an accurate copy of what God has sent. He concludes by explaining the message. Since the existence of God is the greatest question in life, you owe it to yourself to think through that subject and come to your own conclusion. This book will help do that.
