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 truth?

The first study "begs the question", what is truth? We as Christians should know truth as an absolute through Gods Word. Dr. Tackett stresses that Jesus Christ came for redemption, salvation, to set the captives free, but one reason that we fall short of noticing is when Pointus Pilate asked the question of Jesus "who are you and why have you come"? Jesus said, "to testify to the truth". Then Pilate says, "What is Truth"? and walks away. He was starring truth in the face, literally. He never waited for the ultimate authority on Truth to give him the answer. Then Dr Tackett poses the question" Do you really believe that what you believe is really real"?
Because if we believe God is Truth. If we really know he is the only truth, and that is our reality beacuse truth is propositionally what confirms reality, what a difference we could make in gently sharing the truth, allowing God to reveal his Truth through us. There is so much knowledge to be gained from this one part of the study to logically understand how we are in a cosmic battle with the lies of the flesh, world and the devil. If you are interested in discussing Truth, Knowledge and logic pertaining to your worldview please post your comments.

God Bless
