Q: is the Christian faith reasonable?

A: I answer: Yes. For it is says that there is a Triune God who is Holy who has deal accordingly to His nature with His creation, which He has created, in His image, good, and so thereby pressing man to Live for the glory and enjoyment of God. The problem is that all of man by his own unrighteousness and through Adam's unrighteousness has fallen. They are thereby radically evil, although they may will good at times; there goodness is never truly good as that of the original state of Man. However, they are still in the state of the Image of God. What Christianity teaches is that there is a God who has revealed Himself in three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and who has determined the means of the accomplishment of Salvation for the sins of many through His Son Jesus Christ, and has determined also the means by which Salvation is applied, through the calling and regenerating power of the Holy Spirit, who works in the sinner so that the sinner may repent and believe the good news of Christ and so thereby obtain Christ righteousness who not only came in the flesh to live the perfect life that no one else could by their own powers or willing live and has taken upon Himself the eternal divine wrath of God. This means that everyman should repent and believe (humble themselves), for if they do not and continue to act in rebellion (Pride) God has determined a date when all things will end and retribution will be declared (Rebels will be humbled) and receive the Divine wrath for all of eternity. I ask you to please turn from your sins and trust in Christ for your righteousness.
