I justify it by metaphysics, historical apologetics, and miracles
such as?
In terms of miracles?
no
metaphysics
Argument from motion is a good one
elabirate
elaborate*
This is the argument
It's establishes *purus actus*
this sounds like the some hermetic stuff, can you confirm @ComradeChaos
@Eoppa this isnt necessarily an argument for christianity specifically, the 7 hermetic axioms are extremely similar
The full argument is 50 steps, but this necessitates a monotheistic, non deistic, perfect, incorporeal, eternal, intellectual, omnipotent/omniscient entity.
Which excludes polytheistic beliefs
not at all
Such as most pagans
in paganism there is one ultimate being
in vedic faith that is brahman
not sure what its called in others
but nonetheless there is one that is ultimate and above all

So you wouldn't introduce any composition into the Brahman?
wdym
Is it composed
in what sense
Divine simplicity
still dont understand what youre trying to ask, im sorry i havent had amuch sleep nor food
I'll just give you the benefit of the doubt that it's synonymous with the Classical Theist conception of God.
Let's take the Zeitoun apparition, how would a pagan respond to something like it.
wtf is that
It was a series of apparitions of our blessed mother in Egypt in the 60s-70s. They were witnessed by millions, confirmed by the government, and local police, photographed, etc.
These are some of the colorized pictures
Others include doves of light, images of unformed light, and other images of Mary
idk, Jesus and Mary are indeed holy. Jesus was a son of god but not the only one
Jesus is an avatar of light afterall
Except what Jesus professed is contradictory to what you profess. And the Church that Mary appears at is contradictory in dogma to you.
The only son of God doesn't mean not the only son
