I commend you for showing every side of the argument. I also wanted to say that I am not offended at all - I realize that many people are not going to understand the salvation of God, since many of us today (even Christians) want to conform God to what WE want Him to be.

While it boils down to God not having to prove his existence, much like when Lucifer tempted Christ to leap from the Cliff because surely if he were the son of God he would be spared. Had Christ done so, he would have proven that faith is not needed. The lesson here is that it takes faith. Faith in God and why is something that no man can convince another.

For one, the Triune God does not NEED to persuade anyone of anything; but it can be said that He decided, in His holy nature, to come down as a man to die for the sins of the world to ‘persuade’ eternal salvation to those that are willing to accept it.
