ApologeticsA few months ago, being quite ignorant, I had to ask myself: “what exactly is apologetics?” After some research and some lectures from my professors, I learned that “it is about the defense of the Christian faith, usually on intellectual issues.” (Horton 640). There are many arguments that can be used to defend the faith, however, I will focus on four arguments: the ontological, natural theology, the accuracy of Scripture, and personal miracles. The first is the ontological argument. “Human beings almost universally recognize that there is something, or someone, beyond themselves and that, in one or more ways, they are responsible to that thing or person (Railey/Aker 40). » This shows that the human race recognizes the fact that we are not alone in the universe and that we are to some extent dependent on something supernatural. Second, the appeal of natural theology. We can look all around us at the beautiful things on this earth and we can see that there must have been divine intervention from someone or something. “Creation, with its infinite variety, beauty and order, reflects an infinitely wise and powerful God. » (Higgins 69). Third, there is the accuracy of Scripture. “The Bible is internally consistent even though it was written over a period of approximately 1,500 years, between 1,450 BCE and 100 CE, over 40 generations by more than 40 different authors. ” (Marino Bibliology 4.1.1.3.) “Discovery after discovery established the accuracy of countless details and brought increased recognition of the value of the Bible as a source of history” (Higgins 88). Miracles. I witnessed an exorcism when I was 13. I was at a youth camp and the evangelist came and started praying for this young woman out of the blue. She immediately walked away and started cursing him. He continued to pray for her, then she collapsed to the ground and began convulsing and coughing up blood. I watched in awe as the evangelist said, “In the name of Jesus, you evil flea! I was amazed to see the girl sit up and start praising God and smiling and her whole demeanor changed. Humanity today is looking for something to hold on to and looking for answers..
