Christian Apologist Research Paper

651 Words3 Pages

You are confusing the definitions of apologists and scholars. The apologists only goal is to defend his opinion. Not to pass on knowledge that I believe is an evangelist 's job.

No, you are confusing a term with its application; a Christian apologist is first and foremost an evangelist.

Your analogy is also slightly off track. If you are comparing your maths teacher to an apologist is believe the correct comparison would be that the apologist is a teacher that does not follow the textbook but rather gives you his own version of maths which is much easier and that most likely differs from the actual math in the final exam.
Hmm, I think you do not realise how aped that comment is, the bank of England chief executive was asked by a reporter- if the sales generated by Christmas would kick start the economy, his response got all Christians nodding, what did he say - “we won’t see the benefits of Christmas until Easter”. His words had truth beyond his meaning. …show more content…

Of course, anyone could make a mistake, however, as you guys like to say peer review would correct any errors as unlike atheism Christianity has a source of authority that is held by every Christian, therefore, a Christian apologist does not only have atheistic criticism but those like me holding them to the source of our

In essence, Hendricks sketches the blueprint from which Jesus developed and exercised his political consciousness.

  • Summary Of Kinnaman's Unbiased Assessment Of Christianity

    429 Words  | 2 Pages

    I agree with Kinnaman’s unbiased assessment of Christianity and I find his research extremely helpful, because it provides us with a clear idea and an approximation of the precise degree of disdain and distrust others have towards the Christian faith. Furthermore, his research permits us to stand apart and examine ourselves as Christians. Kinnaman’s research results uncovered the most common points of skepticism and objections raised by outsiders towards the church and Christianity (Kinnaman, 2007). According to Kinnaman, the six issues or themes outsiders have against believers are the following: 1) Hypocritical 2)

    Misquoting Jesus In one of his best-selling book, Misquoting Jesus, Dr. Bart Ehrman, a well-known and respected New Testament professor and critic, seeks to show that the New Testament is a corrupt document changed through evolutionary processes of scribal adjustment, early Christian theological apologetics, as well as poor scholarship. Ehrman is able to make textual criticism an argument because the study of the text has shaped his life into the person he is today. In the introductory section of the book, he explains his story. After his transformation as a young man, he studied at the Moody Bible Institute, Wheaton College as well as Princeton Theological Seminary.

Parnell’s article, “Growing Christian Persecution in America: Believe It or Not,” thousands of Christians all over the world have died for their beliefs in twentieth century; however, this anti-Christian ideology has quickly spread to the United States over the last five decades.

  • Christian Sociological Influence

    1791 Words  | 8 Pages

    The Christian Sociological parts, have influenced each other in the past. Christian churches in U.S. society still maintain importance because "approximately 80 percent of Americans...identify themselves as Christian; many of the new immigrants in fact are Christian, e.g., those from Haiti, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Central America" (Caiazza, 2010, p. 190). In terms of their role in the Christian Sociological model, Stuckenberg (1880) holds that the individual "in society is a representative of Christ and of" the "Gospel" (Matt. 5:13-15) where their testimony leads the world to judge Christianity (p. 266). Their "conduct before others should be in harmony with his true worth and dignity" (Stuchenberg, 1880, p. 267).

  • Ethos Pathos And Logos By Reid And Hogan

    Reid and Hogan make very clear the pitfalls that preachers can find themselves in. There is a temptation to compromise the purpose of preaching. “There is significant pressure on preachers to energize, engage, and entertain listeners while also sharing profound insight.” (19) There is one thing missing in the previous statement, a need keep the Scriptures in mind, because preaching without the Scripture is not preaching anymore, it is just public speaking.

  • Pascal's Waager Rhetorical Analysis

    619 Words  | 3 Pages

    Christians are devout believers in one God, the Bible and Heaven and Hell. We believe in God’s omniscience and omnipotence (all-powerful). Therefore, being a Christian myself, I believe that anyone claiming to believe in God when in fact they don’t are no different than an atheist because they are only saying they are believers in hopes of gaining a reward. I find this philosophical theory interesting because I have never heard of betting on God’s existence by pretending to believe in him. Oftentimes people like myself are taught about God and Christianity at an early age in life.

  • Outline To The Book 'The Pastor' By Eugene Peterson

    1488 Words  | 6 Pages

    In his memoir “The Pastor”, Eugene Peterson, renowned biblical scholar, Christian author, and Presbyterian pastor, offers us a glimpse into what it truly means to be a pastor. He gives insight not just to the destination of pastoral leadership, but gives detail to the journey that led him both to his calling and to his pastoral placement. The tagline to the book, “Every step an arrival”, rings clear throughout the book as he shows us that his experiences growing up in the Montana wilderness, and the steps God brought him through in his early work as a pastor were not just means to an end, but rather purposed by God to be destinations in themselves. Peterson’s message seems to echo the thought that it is in the journey we find true meaning,
