Apologetic Questions

The Apologist's Questions

In the realm of theology and apologetics, a diverse array of inquiries may come the way of an Apologist, necessitating thorough consideration and study to attain a comprehensive grasp of potential responses. It's important to bear in mind that not every interaction with non-believers or those exploring the Gospel of Jesus Christ requires the presence of an Apologist.

In my theological perspective, the role of an Apologist becomes particularly relevant when individuals harbor questions or concerns that might otherwise act as obstacles to their faith. The purpose is to address these inquiries to a degree where they become more receptive to the profound truths and blessings that God extends to them. In essence, the Apologist steps in to remove stumbling blocks and facilitate a clearer path toward embracing the message of God's grace.

The truths to remembers are these. 

• The Apologist does not bring the non-believer to faith, only the Holy Spirit can do this. 
• The Apologist is the arguer, the Evangelist is the one who makes the call to faith. 
• Evangelists should have access to an Apologist that help remove barriers to non-believers obstacles to belief. 

The following are some of the questions that are important to consider.

Question: Did Jesus die on the cross and was he resurrected?

Question: Is the Bible trustworthy given all the different copies and translations?

Question: Why does God allow Evil to happen?

Question: What about all the people who never hear of Jesus?

Question: How can Jesus be the only way to God?

Question: Isn't Christianity just an excuse for people who are scared?

Question: There are so many religions, aren't they all just different ways to God?

Question: I couldn't be Christian, because they are so judgmental, why is that?

Question: How do we know that the Interpretations of the Bible are accurate?

Question: Why do Schools and Universities still teach Evolution if it is not true as Christians assert?

These questions are not all inclusive but are some of the ones that I personally have encountered. They are difficult to answer in a singular setting, and they take real contemplation and study to ensure that the answers are accurately articulated in a manner that someone who has not studied them can understand and really find the answer they are looking for. 

One persistent challenge that Christians and Christianity face is the presence of atheists who approach discussions with a closed mindset. These individuals typically have no genuine interest in engaging in a meaningful conversation or a learning experience. Instead, their primary intention seems to be centered on engaging in arguments, already firmly convinced that Christians are irrational and lacking in knowledge regarding their beliefs. 

As I progress in writing and exploring my Apologetic journey I hope to provide my research and answers to the questions I pose above.
