Why apologetics?
![Page 3: Residential Bible School: Apologetics & Basic Beliefs](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558cd6b9d8b42a75228b469c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Principles Distinguish between tough questions and
tough problems “I don’t know” is fine! Unanswered
questions don’t mean Christianity is false! Love is more important than logic What can YOU learn? The “seeker” issue (or why ‘proof’ is almost
never sufficient); psychological certainty vs. epistemic certainty

The Problem of Evil
• Why doesn’t God stop evil?
• Why didn’t God stop Hurricane Katrina, the Haitian Earthquake, etc.?
• Why is there pain?
• Why do bad things happen to good people?

What happened on the Cross?

Consider…
• All evidence suggests that Jesus really died (water from body, unbroken legs, burial)
• Jewish leaders claimed the disciples stole the body but tomb was guarded by Roman soldiers (whose lives were at stake)
• More than 500 people saw Jesus resurrected, and who was present for days (hallucination cannot explain this!), see Acts 1
• The first witnesses were women! (not good for credibility or conspiracy!)
• What motives did disciples have for lying? So they could ‘look good’? So they could be persecuted and die as martyrs?!
![Page 59: Residential Bible School: Apologetics & Basic Beliefs](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070321/558cd6b9d8b42a75228b469c/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
More ‘hot’ questions
• What about those who didn’t get to hear the Gospel through no fault of their own?
• How do we even know Jesus existed?
• What about Da Vinci Code?!
• Why does God create all people sin-less? Won’t that be the case in Heaven?

“Most of our brothers showed unbounded love…never sparing themselves and thinking only of one another…Heedless of danger, they took charge of the sick, attending to their every need and ministering to them in Christ…drawing on themselves the sickness of their neighbors and cheerfully accepting their pains…”
Bishop Dionysius of Alexandria, AD260

“The heathen behaved in the very opposite way. At the first onset of the disease, they pushed the sufferers away and fled from their dearest, throwing them into the roads before they were dead and treated unburied corpses as dirt, hoping thereby to avert the spread and contagion of the disease; but do what they might, they found it difficult to escape.”
Bishop Dionysius
