Many christians do not possess the ability make an apologetic defense for their faith. This is made clear, when they are challenged. They don’t know how to give a defense.
This is a failure of the church. You may ask, “how do you know this?” Simple, I have been told for there decades, “you can’t argue someone into heaven!”
Just as Scripture is taken out of context so too has the definition of argument. An apologetic answer is not the same as an angry disagreement. But, they are being taught as one in the same.
This is the call the LORD placed on me. 2Timothy415 is about equipping for a defense, to counter myths, and itching ears.
Preach the Word
2Ti 4:1 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:
2Ti 4:2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.
2Ti 4:3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,
2Ti 4:4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.
2Ti 4:5 As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
May the LORD see it through to completion.
AgainstMyths is dedicated to turning the tide of the great delusion. We are living in the time when people are not enduring sound teaching. They have itching ears, accumulated for themselves teachers who suit their own passions, and they have turned away from listening to the truth and wandered off into myths. 2 Timothy 4:3–4 (ESV).
