Apologetics

Christian apologetics is a field of Christian theology that aims to present a rational basis for the Christian faith, defend the faith against objections, and expose the perceived flaws of other world views.[1] Christian apologetics have taken many forms over the centuries, starting with Paul of Tarsus, including writers such as Augustine of Hippo and Thomas Aquinas, and continuing currently with the modern Christian community, through the efforts of many authors in various Christian traditions such as C.S. Lewis. Apologists have based their defence of Christianity on historical evidence, philosophical arguments, scientific investigation, and other disciplines.

What is your view??

I wish to be very careful and subject myself to the same standard I wish out of any individual who correspond on this site. I just dedicated a better part of two months debating many other worldview issues on other blog spots. My effort was focused on stimulating individuals with other worldviews to visit this blog and exchange ideas and logic. I was also moved to do so, with aspirations of reaching individuals who may be visiting such sites and expose them to a Christian worldview. I was really surprised in my experience. I do not wish to categorize all Atheist or stereotype, never-the-less and unfortunately, I was very unsuccessful at focusing on any one premise to a conclusion. I have invited a plethora of people to debate specific issues and responded to many different subjects and was not able to argue one point to a conclusion before a Pandora's box of whatever was in the woodshed was thrown out for debate. I did get one individual to respond from the Atheist Missionary to the post I presented , "Was there a beginning to the universe", I received the like response of those I received on the blogs I appealed too, a non-answer, then, non-related statements to ad nausium. I so far have come to the conclusion that it is very difficult to get Athiests to share their worldview, other than the non-existence of God. It is the only debate the Atheists that I have been exposed too seem to partake in. I know Atheism means: the disbelief in God, but those who do not believe in God ponder only why it is they do not believe in God and try to disprove it by debunking whatever they can come up with? They never ponder their worldview and how it reveals to them through conforming to such principles consistently, that there could be no way there is a God and the worldview in which they posses answer the questions of their existence?I have been left with no real arguments that would be associated with Agnosticism or Atheism for other worldviews such as Naturalism, Darwinism, Materialism, Realism or any other view other than anti-Christian ism. It is difficult to make any steps toward a commonality or argue how the Christian worldview best explains living things, human existence, mind, consciousness, moral values and truth, or the miracles of the universe, its beginning (if there was a beginning) the constants and values that support life. How can we make sense of creation serving as an explanation to the existence of all things when we cannot even ask ourselves, what we believe? How is it that we are here? What is the purpose if any for our existence? Do we even care? It seems that all the debates are against God and trying to disprove Christianity, not rational, logical discussions for other worldviews and why it is we posses such views or can we live consistently to the worldview we posses?I have this blog to grow in the Lord and his wisdom. To learn more and educate myself on other worldview. I know Christianity is being revealed to all, as a rational, logical and above all, life changing, purposeful answer to all questions for the existence of all things. Humankind is being inundated by media, education, political and social-post modernism that teaches us otherwise.Lets have the discussion.SO LETS ASK THE QUESTION. DO YOU HAVE A WORLDVIEW?YES, OR NO. IF NO Try to reflect on why it is you have no belief system to answer the questions above, and stay tuned. IF YES Respond with a yes and what your worldview is. Stay tuned and help us debate the question posed on Novemer 10th and prepare to answer it staying consistent to your worldview. Pose a question or certain premise to debate.Thank You and God Bless
