The challenge of Christian apologetics: We need SEALs!

Defending the Christian faith is not an easy task. It requires diligent study and hard work, but the rewards are great. This video talks about the need for believers who are willing to work hard, study hard, and present a compassionate defense for the faith.

Grammastola, I am up for the challenge. Thanks for speaking out this most important topic. 1 Peter 3:15 is our marching orders. I have seen first hand, here on Youtube, of scoffers, haters of Christian messengers. But we must press on, defending our faith, in love. It's tough, but we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.

These are great points, grammastola.

@RoseySnakes - I'm no historian or scientist. But I am a programmer analyst whose written programs since 1980. Everything I do is analyzed and better be logical for me to accept. That is how I treat my faith, and have been in apologetics for many years. If you have any faith/theology questions, write me, I'd like to help.

Great message and video. We need to wake our fellow man out deception. Many have been seduced. To run the mechanical test Yeshua gave us to see if we are have been decieved visit teamlaw(dot)net and read the Seduction. Team Law is truly diligent and knowledgable in everything they present regarding matters of law. By the way, I loved the self refuting arguments presentation. You will really like the info on Team Law's website. Eric Madsen is quite a scholar.

The reason for this is because the majority of intelligent, open minded, free thinkers that practice deep thought, reasoning and logic are not Christians.

@MrIcarusflysagain, I personally spoke to Gary Habermas at a conference in Virginia Beach in 2008. He affirmed that Antony Flew was a theist, so that is the most recent information that I've found.

As for organized religion, it's irrelevant to THE INTELLIGENT DESIGN ARGUMENT, which is the issue that you were attacking. One can fully grant that Hoyle did not advocate organized religion (as I explicitly emphasized!), but this does not refute the fact that he recognized the evidence of design.

[MrIcarusflysagain]

@grammastola The interview with Gary Habermas was from 2004. In 2007, Flew told Benjamin Wiker that he re-afirmed his deist position, so I think you are out of date, not me. Incidently, why is it irrelevant whether God is of organised religions, if you are talking about defending Christianity?

[grammastola]

@MrIcarusflysagain I mentioned ID, but only in passing. My discussion of Hoyle's view is covered extensively in other videos.

As for Antony Flew, your information is out of date. According to Gary Habermas, with whom he had extensive communication over the years, Flew became a full-fledged theist a few years ago. He was initially a deist, and was convinced due to the teleological argument. He has since gone beyond that. Whether is God is that of organized religions is simply irrelevant.
