It comes from the Greek word apology, which means ‘defense‘ unabled rational reasoning of faith
Christian apologetics is a theological discipline that provides Reasons, arguments and defense for the Christian faith, faces objections and criticism. It uses philosophy, history, logic and science to show the truth of Christianity, strengthen the faith of believers and help open unbelievers. Her goal is to defend the revealed truth of the Bible and the teaching about God, Jesus Christ and the true meaning of life.
What he says on the subject of apologetics of the Bible – several verses
Love God, with all my heart, soul and mind. (Matthew 22:37)
Always be prepared to give an answer to anyone who would listen to you about the hope you have. (1 Peter 3:15)
Apostle Paul: He explained and proved. (Acts 17:3)
Be careful not to be carried away by the empty delusion of philosophy based on human tradition, on the principles of the world (today’s cultures), And not on Christ. (Colossian 2:8)
Apologetics is for us personally – we will clarify some topics and thus grow in faith. We will become more aware of the difference between today’s culture and what it is trying to fool us with and what God says. We will understand that what was scientifically proven, the laws of physics, etc. support what the Bible says more than the opinions of atheists and Darwinists. Our personal discoveries will be so amazing that we will want to share them with others who don’t know it yet. At the same time, as we gain more personal conviction, we will gain more courage and be better able to respond to the nonsensical claims and slogans we encounter.
Christian apologetics can be divided into groups, whereby each part gives evidence For The existence of God
Science and Logic – The Theory of the Big Bang, Surge, Divine Design, Natural and Physical Laws and new life forms.
historical – Eyewitnesses. Other than biblical sources. Archaeological. Historical credibility of the Bible.
Historical about the existence of Jesus – Proof of its existence. What did he say about himself? What did his brothers think of him? Did Jesus really rise from the dead?
Moral – If there is a god, why is there evil? Mother Teresa vs. Hitler. True. Why is human life important?
wonder – Experience with life after death. signs of God’s presence or naivety?
filled prophecies – Empires that did not exist and came as predicted. Detailed details of Jesus in the Old Testament. The prophecies given by Jesus.
Personal – A fundamental change in the lives of trillions of people from different parts of the world. change in the lives of the apostles.
For example, we learn that the 1st and 2nd law of thermodynamics, Einstein’s theory of relativity, and empirical research on the Hubble Space Telescope all clearly confirm that the universe had its origin. The only question left is whether he cracked himself from nothing, or whether there was a designer, a creator who lives outside of space, time and matter. What is more likely that a car will appear on its own in an empty garage, or that someone will make it?
