The Importance of Apologetics.

Christianity Is Under Attack! Are You Equipped With The Truth?
—————
But in your hearts set Christ apart as holy [and acknowledge Him] as Lord. Always be ready to give a logical defense to anyone who asks you to account for the hope that is in you, but do it courteously and respectfully.
― 1 Peter 3:15 [AMPC]

I have been wondering through the wasteland of religions and spirituality for years because I did not have a good and solid foundation in the Truths of Christ. It is through people like you Mr. Turek and other apologetic teachers that brought me back into the firm foundation that is Christ and I am very thankful for that. I started out Christian and because of Internet I was bombarded with so many truth claims that because I was never taught the reasons Christianity is true I bought it hook line and sinker, oh by the way I am a grandma and 59.

I wish I could honestly refute what Frank says sometimes, but the truth is he's usually right. I never went to university, but I did make some choices in my early 20s that I knew were wrong...and the reason was I became tired of caring. I was desperate for someone to love me exactly as I was, and I didn't get that from most Christians or the church in general. I rebelled because I was angry and afraid, having been "beat with the Bible" way too many times in my childhood. Even now, after coming back to Jesus a few years ago, I still struggle with my memories and emotions.

And its exactly when the issue is not intellectual but moral, that we as preachers and prophets full of the Holy Ghost enters into scene, to impact them with the full weight of the gospel!

It's not about the religion. It's about the gospel.

We grow our faith through the accumulation of reasonable evidence.

Taped prior to Hanegraaff's conversion to Greek Orthodox. I wonder how Frank feels about that?

The Bible talks about “clouds” going up and down with people going in and out. Clouds do not make those movements described in the Bible but spaceships do. Jesus ascended in a “cloud” (Acts 1:9). God rides in a “cloud” (Isaiah 19:1, Psalm 104:3). Jesus will come back “with” the “clouds” (Mat 26:64, Rev 1:7). Jesus will come back commanding a fleet of starships. The church will be raptured “in” the “clouds” (I Thess. 4:17). Spaceships will be used to rapture the church. The ancient did not have vocabulary or knowledge to understand what they saw so they called the flying objects “clouds”, “chariots”, and “pillars”, because was the words they had to describe something flying in the sky. The Bible even tells in Psalm 68:17 how many spaceships are in the fleet “The
chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands” (about 20, 000). There is a good research done by Patrick Cooke called “The Great Deception – The Bible UFO Connection” which has the original words describing spaceships. It is all over the Bible. Jesus is real. He is the savior of the world but He is not seating in a puffy cloud. He is commanding a powerful army, which will take control of our planet. Jesus said that He was not from this world. He used the word "kosmos" which means another planetary system. The Bible says that God presides over a great assembly, probably a confederation of planets. The book of Job actually talks about beings coming from other planets to meet with God.

Apologetics is principally for people who already believe. There is no reason to believe God exists. Frank's arguments are deeply flawed. If you already believe they probably sound good, but if you don't and hear both sides it's pretty easy to show how bad these arguments are.

Any god that does not exist needs apologetics as said god does not exist. Why would anyone accept any "answers" from humans that lie. God too important to take some guys word for it. Humans can get it wrong. But the sad fact is apologetics are needed as god can not or will not answer these questions himself. A god that needs apologetics has no more validity than a god that does not exist.
