1 - What is a properly basic belief?


A properly basic belief is something you know to be true and show to be true without needing to prove it.

(Examples: God exists, I exist in reality, the past wasn’t just made up 5 seconds ago, I see things, and pain hurts.)


Genesis 15:6 - And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.


Deuteronomy 27:10 - Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the Lord thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.


Mark 1:15 - And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.


Romans 10:9 - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.


James 2:19 - You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!
