“The primary problem in Christian apologetics is . . . to achieve a concept of God which will require a minimum of argument
Whatever kind of apologetics that may be, it certainly is not Christian, for Christ Jesus never taught such things. (he taught us what he learned from his father (john 12:49)
(John 8:38) What things I have seen with my Father I speak;
a God of love, mercy and peace,...........he taught us to be loving and peaceable
Let . . . screaming and abusive speech be taken away from you.” (Ephesians 4:31)
“If possible, as far as it depends upon you, be peaceable with all men.”—ROMANS 12:18.
“Man’s wrath does not produce God’s righteousness.”—Jas. 1:20.
such a theology of apologetics is truely unchristian we must imitate god......who is slow to anger(2 peter 3:9)

Apologetics means to argue in favor of a philosophy.
It doesn't mean apologising.

Those who try to disprove Christianity are in for an insurmountable task!
God's word is all we need to remain ever faithful.

It is to provide a logical defense of the faith of Christianity. It is not intended to provide the sole basis for faith, but to satisfy valid intellectual questions for the sake of our intellectual honesty.
