    Apologetics is a rational defense of the Christian faith. It comes from the Greek word apologia, which means “to give a reason or defense”. 1 Peter 3:15 tells us “sanctify the Lord in your heart, and always be ready to give a defense (apologia) to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear”. In Jude 1:3 we are told to “…contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints”. Titus 1:9 makes this work a requirement for qualified elders. “holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict”

    The Bible clearly tells us to be ready to answer anyone who asks “tough” questions about our faith. If we as Christians do not know why we believe what we believe then how can we explain our faith to those who are lost. Furthermore, a realization that our faith is not irrational or illogical often leads to profound growth in our own spiritual lives.

    I will present here articles on many different topics about the defense of Christianity. I will answer many questions, including “Is there a God?”, “Who was Jesus Christ?” and “Can we believe the Bible?” I hope you all find these articles to be interesting and informative.

    What is truth? Truth is telling it like it is. Truth is that which corresponds to its object. An abstract truth corresponds to abstract reality (2+2=4) and a concrete truth corresponds to concrete reality (place, time, person, etc.).The truth presented in the Bible is absolute. This means it applies to everyone, everywhere, and during every time.

    What is the current attitude towards truth in America? Post-modernism and secular humanism believe that truth is socially constructed and inseparable from the needs and desires of certain people in a certain time and place. Truth is now considered to be “relative” to any specific set of circumstances and is not objective or absolute. Because of this relativistic view of truth, it is now widely believed (often within the Church itself) that all of the religions and philosophies of the world can be equally “true”. It is now taboo and politically incorrect to state that someone else’s beliefs are wrong simply because they do not agree with your own beliefs. This attitude has created a culture were no one is really sure what is right or wrong and that is exactly what the people who deny the existence of truth want. The Bible is under attack because people do not want to live according to the rules that God has made. In a futile attempt to escape the natural guilt that comes when a person breaks these rules some people foolishly bury there head in the sand and say “what rules?”

    Is it true that there is no such thing as truth? If this statement is true than it is false because if there were really no such thing as truth than that would also have to apply to this statement. This statement is self-referentially absurd. To deny truth is to affirm it. If there is no absolute truth then that is the truth absolutely. If someone says that we cannot know the truth then how do they know it is true that we cannot know? In the event that some one tries to convince you that there is no such thing as truth, just as
