"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be
ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of
the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:" (1Peter 3:15)
"Now the God of patience and
consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to
Christ Jesus: That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even
the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 15:5-6)
"Where is the wise? where is
the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish
the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by
wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to
save them that believe." (! Corinthians 1:20-21)
"The fear of the LORD is the
beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction."
(Proverbs 1:7)
"The words of a man's mouth are as deep
waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook."
(Proverbs 18:4)
"Speak not in the ears of a
fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words." (Proverbs
23:9)
The Lord has called every Christian to be ready to make a defense of his
faith. That means you are called to give reasonable answers to
questions regarding Christianity. Now, this does not mean that
you must have a Ph.D or that you have to go to seminary. But
it does mean that you should be willing to at least give an answer for
your beliefs. If you find you cannot, then prayerfully take it to God and
start studying.
Christian apologetics is that branch of Christianity that deals with
answering any and all critics who oppose or question the revelation of God
in Christ and the Bible. It can include studying such subjects as
biblical manuscript transmission, philosophy, biology, mathematics,
evolution, and logic. But it can also consist of simply giving
an answer to a question about Jesus or a Bible passage. The
later case is by far the most common and you dont have to read a ton of
books to do that.
