Apologetics and the embodiment of love of Christ
Apologetics must affirm each of these distinctives without allowing any of them to be the monopoly;
We have a place for the rational.
We have a place for the empirical.
We have a place for the existential.
We have a place for the measure of humanity.
We do not take a single strand of epistomology and make it the fist of all reality; where the question is a rational one, we give a rational answer. Where its an existential one, we give an existential answer.
Jesus is the embodiment of all the prophets. As long as we reach out with the love of Christ, its hard to ignore that there's something special about the gospel.
The converse is true. If we say that we love our spouse but do not embody that love. If the church loves the world but doesn't show the love and care. Yes, the embodiment of the cross.
