Is Apologetics Necessary, or Is It Just for People Who Enjoy Arguing for Sport?
02/11/2026 | 27 mins.Questions about why we discuss evidence for God—who requires it and whether it’s necessary—and whether or not it’s inappropriate to use apologetic methods such as classical apologetics that argue for less than a triune God.
Why do we discuss evidence for God? Who requires it, and why must we provide it? Is this necessary, or is apologetics a wing of the faith that enjoys arguing for sport?
Since the only true God is triune and there is no salvation with general theism, is it inappropriate to use apologetic methods such as classical apologetics that argue for less than a triune God?- Question about the behind-the-scenes work that has to be done to write a book, an article, or an in-person talk.
Would Greg mind pulling back the curtain a bit and talking about all the behind-the-scenes work that has to be done to write a book, an article, or an in-person talk? - Questions about why God would give us an unclear book that condones awful practices, and how we can know that commands for the Israelites to kill all the inhabitants of a city were truly commands from God rather than from men who falsely attributed their own commands to God.
If Christianity is true, why would God deliver it to us in a book left up to so many interpretations and that condones so many awful practices?
How can we know that commands for the Israelites to kill all the inhabitants of a city, including women and children, were truly commands from God rather than from men falsely attributing their own commands to God? - Questions about what to say to those who refuse to engage with a “script” and questions to ask someone who doesn’t care about spiritual things to get them to care about eternity now.
What do you say to those who refuse to engage with a “script”?
What questions or info can you give someone who doesn’t care about spiritual things to get them to care about eternity now?
