Sorry. My finger got in the way. I have a brother who I'm trying to lead to the Lord. He has every reason under the sun why he doesn't believe what im trying to tell him. Maybe my learning Apologetics will help me. My resolve at this time is to Trust God, because I've run out of steam. Thanks Darin for your help in this matter of life or death.
I do not think Apologetics is a valuable tool in any way, shape or form.
Those outside of the body don't see or understand.
Those inside the body are told the tongue is dangerous.
The church is told to show faith - talk is cheap.
Jesus never said to go out and convince the blind of salvation because HELLO?? THEY ARE DEAD.
He said, "go find a house that opens its door to you and declare peace on this house."
SHOWING Jesus is not TALKING Jesus.
The Church is so busy with their lofty words that there are entire groups in therapy circles suffering from religious abuse speak better apologetics than most church attendees.
And they are too - they are suffering religious about that came with the weapon called the tongue.
You can't preach to preach then tell the people to take care of their words and be careful.
It is a mighty weapon that finds very little success.
Using these things INSIDE the church has value but then detaches from its entire premise and definition.
As someone VERY good with words, I missed how much damage I did with my Apologetics. I missed it because I was too busy being right. Those who won't speak to me anymore aren't entirely wrong. I needed to shut up and love because God can speak far better than I can.

Thank you, Darren. That's great material and good for reference, too.
