Why believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob Jimmy Aiken next?

Hello and welcome to Focus, the Catholic Cancer's podcast for Living, Understanding, and defending your Catholic

faith.

I'm Cy Kellett, your host, and last time we asked Jimmy about the Kalam argument, does it

prove God's existence? And there's a whole area of philosophy and theology

devoted to defending, explaining, debating the existence of God. But what about the particular God of the Jewish people, the God of

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? Can we make a coherent argument about why to accept that

God, that particular God, and some will put it this way. That one God out of all the possible

gods of all the religions of the earth, well as a matter of fact, there's very compelling reasons

why you should accept that God. One being he is the

true and living God and so we asked Jimmy Aiken to come in and explain all of that.

So here's Jimmy on not just God in general,

but specifically the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Is he the real God? Okay, so Jimmy, before we start with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, I want to ask you about Abraham, Isaac, and

Jacob, because the Bible presents some people as pretty clearly allegorical, like maybe

the beloved in the song of songs or the prodigal son. Some people it's not clear, allegory or real person,

like I'm thinking Noah or Jonah or even Job.

And other people like Jesus are clearly,

the Bible intends us to take this to be a real person who really lived.
