Hello there, Professor Craig, I hope you are doing well.

Before I begin, I want to thank you for leading me to the faith as your argument for the

resurrection was one of the principal reasons for opening my heart to the possibility of Christianity

leading to my eventual conversion. As I hail from a Hindu background, I've always been fascinated by

objections to Christianity by pagan philosophers.

One particular argument that I found quite difficult to answer is this.

How do we demonstrate that the Yahweh of Israel is the supreme being?

Why couldn't it be that Yahweh is just one deity among millions of other contingent deities

in an infinite pantheon. Why is he the necessary

being? I assume this has to do with something related to the type of miracle that Yahweh performs.

Yahweh's miracles are genuine suspensions of the natural order. For example, the resurrection,

while those performed by demons are merely illusions.

Given that the teleological order of the world is due to the necessary being, Aquinas' fifth way,

true miracles can only be performed by the necessary being and not some contingent entity

within the created order. Is this how you would reason for

this? Thanks in advance and God bless. Adi from India. Adi, I'm so thrilled to learn of your

coming to Christ out of the spiritual darkness of Hinduism. That is an incredible transition. Your question raises the issue

of how we move from a generic monotheism affirmed on the basis of the arguments of natural

theology to one of the specific monotheistic religions,

such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, or Deism.

I've often remarked to Jewish acquaintances that it is really difficult to see how one could

justify belief in Judaism apart from Jesus.
