A p p o l o whatttttttttttt i c s ????

To be 100% honest with you last week at this time I had no idea what the word apologetics even meant. I thought it was someone saying i'm sorry for something but boy was I wayyy off. Apologetics is how to give a defense for your faith. And wow did I know very little about this topic when Kerby Anderson came in to speak to us. First I didn't even know what the word meant and second after I found out I didn't really know much about it still. But watching him walk through the validity of the bible and to be able to see why the bible is true because of the number of ancient manuscripts that we have and the time that is passed between the initial writings and the first documents we have. It is so cool to look at the bible next to all the other old literature that we take as being true from that time period and look at all the numbers of manuscripts that we have and proof that the bible has not been altered at all. And then aside from all this learning about why the bible is true stuff I realized that when he started to talk about other world religions I had no idea about any of them really. I had always looked at them as being a bad thing and so because of that I had never taken the time to be educated or informed on these other religions. But when Kerby came and spoke to us on all of this it really opened my eyes to what the rest of the world is living in and dealing with. It truly made me want to go share the good news with them so much more. This week has been beyond valuable to me in building up a defense for my faith.
