What are some advantages of the deposed royalty argument?
-
We were created in the image of God himself. God gave control of this world to Adam, and Adam and Eve ruled. When they fell into sin as led by Satan, they gave up that gift. But we were created in God’s image, so e have reason and logic other creation doesn’t have, and more importantly we have a soul. God has placed inside of us that believe and have accepted his salvation the Holy Spirit which may be the greatest gift of all.

Some advantages of the deposed royalty argument would be reconcilliation with God through Jesus Christ. Pascal argued that “God alone had to produce a great people, elect, holy adn chosen, lead them, feed them, bring them into the place of rest and holiness, make them holy for God, make them the temple of God, reconcile them to God, save them from God’s anger, redeem them from bondage of sin, give laws to His people, write the laws in their hearts, offer himself to God for them, sacrifice himself for them, be a spotless sacrifice and himself the sacrificer by offering up his body and blood to God.” All of this was done so that we (humans) who believe in Jesus can have everlasting life with Jesus.

It reflects humans as a good creation, although we all fall short of the Glory of God and without His redemption we are nothing.
-
It does a great job of explaining the human condition as people experience it to be, where we are both unbelievably optimistic and productive as well as unbelievably depraved and selfish. It recognizes how we are set apart from other living creatures as the ones in charge and it reflects the authority of God that he gave us authority here on earth. It explains how we can be restored or reconciled through Jesus, rather than of our own nature because that is how we became deposed in the first place.

There are 2 main advantages that I see through this lecture that the deposed argument provides. 1. It appeals to the human condition, answering questions such as, how did we get here? or how should we live? 2. It covers the entire Christian message in a single argument, providing resolution to all questions that stem from the first advantage.
