| | Apologetics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Apologists for Islam have defended the Qur'an using rationalist and empiricist arguments, and using cosmological arguments to prove God's existence. | | | Another modern apologist is Ravi Zacharias, author of The Lotus and the Cross: Jesus Talks with Buddha which argues for Christian truth over against world religions and other modern movements. | | | Several of the early Christian apologists developed arguments from fulfilled prophecy and gospel miracles as proofs of Christ's divinity. |

| | He insists also that it is in Christianity that the destiny of the Hebrew religion to become the religion of the world is to find its realization, and hence it is the followers of Christ, and not the unbelieving Jews, that are the true children of Israel. | | | Enlarging on these ideas, the apologists contrast the logical coherence of the religious tenets of Christianity, and its lofty ethical teaching, with the follies and inconsistencies of polytheism, the low ethical principles of its philosophers, and the indecencies of its mythology and of some of its rites. | | | It is true that some apologists see fit to treat also of inspiration and the analysis of the act of faith. |

| | After much intensive study, The Apologist found that the true Christain faith, the fullness of Christianity both historically and in agreement with the Bible was the Catholic Church. | | | After highschool, The Apologist spent a year in college and then gave his life to God in a lay institute in the Church as a consecrated person with the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. | | | However, he noticed that there was a significant difference between the Catholic Faith and the Baptist Faith and wanted to know why he was not a Catholic. |

| | Cult Apologists : What you should know about cult defenders - religious cults, sects and movements |
| | Cult apologists chide or attack the counter-cult movement, which largely consists of Christian ministries, for believing it alone - using the Bible as its standard - can determine what does and does not constitute religious truth in general, and Scriptural orthodoxy (as apposed to heresy) in particular. | | | Note that the term ''cult apologist'' is technical, and not (as some of them claim) derogatory - in the same sense that cult defender Massimo Introvigne mentions ''... | | | An apologist is someone "who speaks or writes in defense of a faith, a cause, or an institution."

| | To be fair to Christians, apologists for other religions are just as dishonest and their followers can be equally naive in trusting these lies. | | | Therefore, with all the knowledge we've gained of science and biblical criticism, apologists have to outright lie just so nothing conflicts with the doctrines of their religion. |

| | Hence, if Roman Catholic apologists want to argue that Protestantism is splintered into 8,196 “bickering” denominations, then they must just as readily admit that their own ecclesial system is splintered into at least 2,942 bickering denominations (possibly as many as 8,000). | | | Yet even this figure is misleading; for it is clear that Barrett defines “distinct denominations” as any group that might have a slightly different emphasis than another group (such as the difference between a Baptist church that emphasizes hymns, and another Baptist church that emphasizes praise music). | | | I have posed this question over and over again to many different Roman Catholic apologists, none of whom were able to verify the source with certainty. |
