The Lie of the DaVinci code
Filed Under Polemics, Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
What should we think about the DaVinci Code?
Who did not hear about the DaVinci Code? Really, we should speak, not of the “code”, but the “lie of the Code”. Why? The answer is simple. Although this book of Dan Brown was written as a novel, it is necessary to say that from the beginning of his work he mentions that its text speaks about “historical facts”. Really, he certainly reinvented the history, because nothing in this book and film reports the truth on Jesus Christ. Here are 5 questions and answers which would be necessary to put before us to demonstrate clearly that this book of Dan Brown’s legend is only a “madness”. Let us go on in the following order.

Introduction To Christian Apologetics: The word “apologetics” confuses many into thinking that it refers to some kind of apologizing. Actually this word is not derived from the English world “apology”, but from the Greek word “apologia”, which is a word referring to “making a defense”. Apologetics is a general term, signifying a formal defense of any kind. On the other hand, Christian Apologetics is that branch of Christian theology that answers the question “is Christianity believable”. Integrated Apologetics stands for the special approach developed by us in our course material where we integrate the best from all schools of thought in Christian Apologetics.
In the past four centuries, all kinds of religious and spiritual beliefs have come under intense attack at the hands of radical philosophers and critics. Of this assault, the Christian faith has received the major portion because of a number of historical reasons some of which will be mentioned later.

The Importance And Purpose Of Christian Apologetics
Filed Under Apologetics: Introduction | Leave a Comment
The Importance Of Apologetics: Both the Old as well as the New Testament repeatedly emphasize that defense of faith is an important part of spiritual life. This is why both the Testaments contain numerous apologetic passages. The Jewish and the Church Fathers also understood these benefits, and that is why they devoted considerable time to refuting arguments brought against the Christian faith.
A perusal of the apologetic writings of the Bible and the Fathers would show that the nature of the attacks changed in each generation, and that the reply had to be tailored to meet the needs of each generation. In spite of this changing approach and emphasis, the purpose of apologetics has remained unchanged for all the past millennia.

Though Christian Apologetics is such a life-giving ministry, some people oppose it. We explore some of the reasons here. We will begin with a bit of background first.
Non-interest In Christian Apologetics: Among Christians there are some who do not take any interest and who do not give any encouragement to Christians interested in Apologetics. They do so not due to any fault of apologetics, but mainly due to their own misconceptions, and misunderstandings. Such people can be divided into six categories:
- People who never had any doubts in these subjects.
- People who never had to face questions and attacks from scornful people.
- People who have indeed faced personal doubts and external attacks, but who have been running away from facing the challenge.
- People who believe that the Bible does contain errors.
- People who have lost sensitivity towards the pains and problems of others.
- Pseudo Apologists who love prestige, but who have never mastered the subject.
