New to this so please bear with me. If by definition, apologetics is defending the faith, who is the object of that defense.
We as believers do not need to defend the faith to each other. We, as believers, should at least believe some of the basic tenents such as the existence of God, the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, Jesus’ propitiation for our sins, that salvation is a free gift of God—not of ourselves lest we boast, and that Jesus will return. So far I am seeing a bunch of yammering between believers about things that don’t mean a hill of beans worth a difference. Preach Jesus and Him crucified. Now, if the object of defense is the unbeliever, the Word is foolishness to them that are perishing and there eyes have been blinded. So we are defending the faith to blind, dying people who have no ability to understand what they are hearing. Now, if the unbeliever is searching, I would assume they are being led by the Holy Spirit and the power of the Holy Spirit will open their eyes and ears to see and hear. We should be unified in the faith to present Jesus to those who are searching for answers. This is my first and only post. So far I have been responding to others.Will not be able to respond. Plan to read and meditate on the Word and rest in my Lord as I prepare for chemo. To Him be the glory
