Yeah i agree.....however i became the first kind of person....Originally posted by gasband:hmmmm....
ok u have a pt there as in people may get into an intellectual argument instead of focusing on God...
but well apologetics if used well can be a good way to help people understand certain aspects of christianity better.
Hmmm....yeah maybe u were unable to separate it well. Apologetics should onli help u to understand the doctrines better, to better understand the context of the doctrines, to clear up any misunderstandings due to insufficent theological knowledge....but it should never be used to measure how well a person knows God. Cos those are head and literal knowledge.....being close to God is another issue....Originally posted by M©+square:Yeah i agree.....however i became the first kind of person....
And i don't like who i am now.![]()

No worries bro, just keep praying, just remember God always loves you.
ya thats why i say its onli an intellectual discussion....nothing replaces the bible.....continue to read God's words...the truth shall set u freeOriginally posted by M©+square:Still apologetics are from a man's studys....
I wouldn't discredit the time spent thru explaining biblical mysteries...
However, i think the best answer could only come from the Word.
hahaha i never heard of him, to be frank, i rarely read christian literature, onli a few...i onli read the bible....well but its good to read them anyway, good input, i like biographies especialyOriginally posted by M©+square:Heard of Gordan Lindsey?
Yup he has a series of books called the Creation Series.....i haven't got it yet. But i think it's worth the buy....cos i like the author.
It's actually good to keep away from Books. IF you've heard of A.W Tozer...he doesn't read any books other then his bible, but when he spoke the word....it's so clear and it's still applicable today.Originally posted by gasband:hahaha i never heard of him, to be frank, i rarely read christian literature, onli a few...i onli read the bible....well but its good to read them anyway, good input, i like biographies especialy
Of cos i heard of him, his books on prayer is great insights...ya good example to learn from....Originally posted by M©+square:It's actually good to keep away from Books.
