What are some advantages of the deposed royalty argument?
-
I think Pascal’s explanation is one so simple that it is often overlooked as we are sometimes struggling to defend or even explain our faith to others. The deposed royalty argument that we are made in his image, fallen and can be redeemed explains human behavior both the “good and the bad.” Pascal says that we can be so much but by His grace can be who we are intended but not if we don’t acknowledge we need him and to let go of our pride.

to get the whole Christian message in one argument
God is the first cause
God is the designer
God is the lawgiver -
The deposed royalty argument stems from the entire Christian foundation, the monotheistic worldview that leads to redemption through our Lord, Jesus Christ, from the same creator/lawgiver, Father, and Holy Spirit. Since man is created in God’s image and His morals are written onto the hearts of man, this message is the way the truth and life; a man knows in his gut that there is an emptiness and an awareness that man is not good on his own. Therefore, this comprehensive perspective of truth reaches individuals deeply and does not lack foundation.
