I'm really looking forward to this series! You and Jackie have a gift of communicating the gospel in a way that's simple to understand but never diluting the truth...
I have done many evil sins in my life. I was wretched and deserving of hell. I was lost in nihilism and despair. It's only through God's love for me that I have grace and hope through my Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Without Jesus I am NOTHING and have NOTHING. Glory to God and Jesus for ever and ever, amen.
Nice video. I’m glad your making videos on Jehovah’s Witnesses too Preston I was raised one, and I posted my testimony of how I found Christ. I wore your Jesus Is God shirt during it! Much Love to you bro.
@Caleb I recently had a JW ask me if I believe there is a heaven, I replied 'Yes, there is a heaven and hell' he paused and then started talking about how we return to the earth as dust. As a former JW, is it their beliefs that here on earth is heaven/paradise hence why they don't believe that there is a heaven? I'm only asking as the guy didnt come right out and say they/he doesn't believe there is a heaven so that just got me thinking about it....
Chani Iosia-Sipeli They believe in heaven, but it is a spiritual realm only and only spirits go there. So Jesus (no bodily resurrection), angels, 144000. They believe most Christians will live out their lives on a renewed earth. A good place to start is daenglund.com, he has loads of great free articles
I have just recently learned what an apologetic is. It is a great thing and you are surely blessed. You are helping people navigate biblical scripture which can often times be confusing much like the parables of jesus. God bless and continue your good work brother
Thank you for this video my brother. As I grow more in my walk with Christ I want to be ready and prepared as the Scriptures say. I appreciate you videos and the way you carry out your ministry. May God continue to protect and use you for His Kingdom. Amen [Daz]
This series played a big role in me trying to engage a JW group at the train station where I work. It forced me to tighten my review of scripture so have Spirit led references to bring to their attention versus me just telling them what I think. Nobody needs that. What does the Word say?
Thank you for this teaching and just breaking it down in a way that is digestible. So helpful and filled with such good context to help understanding. 🖤
Apologetics are really only a tool for steeling one's faith in the face of counter-evidence. Otherwise, they would serve no purpose. It's not a response to rational argumentation.
VERY KOOL TO SEE A BROTHER INTO THIS FIELD OF STUDY GOD CAN UNIQUELY USE ANYONE IN THEIR UNIQUENESS. I USE TO HEAR YEARS AGO IT IS NOT ABILITY BUT AVAILABILITY BUT IT IS THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD OVER YOUR ABILITY AND AVAILABILITY FOR HIS GLORY
Thank you. For these videos. They're very inspiring and really convicting as a Christian. I am curious, how do you defend the faith when someone says they are not christian and do not believe in the bible?
the gospel is really for those who are not Christian and didn't believe the Bible.... tell them that it is a must for everyone to believe Bible because it is the only message of God for the salvation of all humanity.... and anyone who rejected the message of the Bible about Jesus will end up in hell fire. that is enough gospel to preach.
thank you for the breakdown and saying that it is an OBLIGATION to be prepared to answer and defend per Scripture. Our dear Ravi Zaccahrias was remarkable at this and along with people like yourself are showing us a great example to follow. Great word and challenge!
Ebone Freeman hello start with this 1) the apologetics study bible (or student version) 2) tactics by koukl 3) the case for.... books by Strobel 4) systematic theology recommended by your pastor 5) love your God by Moreland 6) the three set by j Warner Wallace It is my belief that you should learn the why and how before you focus on particular arguments against a particular group. Blessings to you and yours.
I think we've got this whole "Apologetics" thing quite wrong, there is this "militant" or combative form of Apologetics that is dangerous and that I disagree with, there isn't even such a thing as an "apologist" in the Bible, Ephesians 4:11-12 says *"So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up"* where are "apologists" here? Of course 1 Peter 3:15 does say to "always be prepared to give a (verbal) defence ( Apologian in Greek) to anyone who asks us for the reason for the hope that is in us", but it's NOT specific to "apologists" it is for ALL Christians in general and the purpose of it is to give them an opening to share the Gospe, so the more accurate term would be "evangelism" instead of "apologetics", and this kind of militant "apologetics" is also being misapplied and misdirected, what I mean is "apologetics" should be conditional since 1 Peter 3:15 says tgat we are to give a defence ONLY IF somone "asks us" and not to deliberately go into war with just about any non-christian who doesn't even care and just wants to debate, that's why I also don't believe in street preaching or door-to-door missionary services, as a result of this we attract the wrong kind of people like the athiests and other critics who come to Christian videos only to bash Christianity and poison the place, when they're not even welcome or needed, Christianity is not for them, but if someone is ASKING us, it means the Holy Spirit is convicting and drawing them, "apologetics" should only be for GENUINE skeptics not for critics, there's a difference between a "skeptic" and a "critic" a skeptic is somone who is seeking genuine answers to questions, they're still seekers, whereas a critic is someone who is already CONVINCED in thier minds that Christianity is false such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Cosmicskeptic etc. they have already arrived at a conclusion, so we needn't give them any attention, don't even watch thier videos, we need to focus more on THE CHURCH, rectifying and edifying CHRISTIANS, we need to focus more on our spiritual growth by fasting, prayer, worship and meditating on the word, also we often leave out the most important part of 1 peter 3:15 *"but respond with gentleness and respect"*
I have a jehovahs witness grandfather and everytime i use a scripture that doesnt line up with his teachings or says that jesus is god he pulls out another scripture that seems to stregthen his beliefs. Help please.
Be encouraged since the conversation continues. Write down the scriptures he is using and go home and review them later. Also, study and review scriptures on the subject just because. Don't do it just for the convo but to know what the scriptures say yourself. I've been taking shorthand notes on scriptures that support the deity of Christ so I can better remember what is in the word and where it is. You never know what scripture will be best and when.
I have a question that I need an answer for, why do Christians reject keeping sabbath and other laws in the torah that Yahusha/Jesus even kept? Jesus even said that the person who rejects the least commandment in the torah shall not enter the kingdom of heaven-Matt.5:19
I love Jesus but I’m confused on how many takes and perspectives there are, I hang on to my faith because without it I’m lost but it’s hard when it just feel like I’m in a never ending cycle of contradicting thoughts, please pray for me , I want to just simple serve and honor the Lord correctly and wholeheartedly, God bless you
A question for apologists : why some consider Jesus as a God and not a prophet like other prophets ? Is there any solid justification from a holy revelation ?
A drowning man doesn't need a fine-looking rope. Any rope will do. The issue I have with this seeming new wave of people seeking to identify as an apologist is that we seem to spend so much time 'defending the faith,' rather than actually seeking and saving the lost. We seek to convince people with fine-sounding arguments, when I have never heard of Jesus engaging people in these debates which most times are very lengthy, draining, and most times, our time could have been better spent ministering to people who were really hungry to receive Christ. His message was done through simple parables and miraculous signs and wonders. He told us that the harvest is ready but the workers are few. In that metaphor that Jesus gave, an apologetic would be someone trying to assess whether the fruit was ready to be picked. He could be right and lead someone to Christ, but he could be wrong as well. Re the person that is truly ready to receive Christ, you can tell right that right off the bat, much like when you see that ripened fruit on a tree. They are not trying to win an argument, they don't require an apologetic-leveled defense; your testimony most times will suffice and there you go! Too many times I see apologetics argue for hours, everyone walks away still cleaving to their own beliefs, and even worse, even if the apologist so-called 'won,' may never even take that opportunity to lead that person to Christ. We have people committing suicide, overdosing on drugs, alone in hospitals, foster care, in elderly homes and here we are, taking that verse from Peter and making a profession, a title, a ministry out of it. The world is drowning and we are the lifeguard trying to save someone with a fancy rope, even though that person may not even be in the pool.
Hello. I am an atheist. I define atheism as suspending acknowledgement of the existence of gods until sufficient evidence can be presented. My position is that *_I have no good reason to acknowledge the existence of gods._* And here is the evidence as to why I currently hold to such a position. 1. I personally have never observed a god. 2. I have never encountered a person whom has claimed to have observed a god. 3. I know of no accounts of persons claiming to have observed a god that were willing or able to demonstrate or verify their observation for authenticity, accuracy, or validity. 4. I have never been presented a valid logical argument which also employed sound premises that lead deductively to a conclusion that a god(s) exists. 5. Of the 46 logical syllogisms I have encountered arguing for the existence of a god(s), I have found all to contain multiple fallacious or unsubstantiated premises. 6. I have never observed a phenomenon in which the existence of a god was a necessary antecedent for the known or probable explanation for the causation of that phenomenon. 7. Several proposed (and generally accepted) explanations for observable phenomena that were previously based on the agency of a god(s), have subsequently been replaced with rational, natural explanations, each substantiated with evidence that excluded the agency of a god(s). I have never encountered _vice versa._ 8. I have never experienced the presence of a god through intercession of angels, divine revelation, the miraculous act of divinity, or any occurrence of a supernatural event. 9. Every phenomena that I have ever observed has *_emerged_* from necessary and sufficient antecedents over time without exception. In other words, I have never observed a phenomenon (entity, process, object, event, process, substance, system, or being) that was created _ex nihilo_ - that is instantaneously came into existence by the solitary volition of a deity. 10. All claims of a supernatural or divine nature that I have encountered have either been refuted to my satisfaction, or do not present as falsifiable. ALL of these facts lead me to the only rational conclusion that concurs with the realities I have been presented - and that is the fact that there is *_no good reason_* for me to acknowledge the existence of a god. I have heard often that atheism is the denial of the Abrahamic god. But denial is the active rejection of a substantiated fact once credible evidence has been presented. Atheism is simply withholding such acknowledgement until sufficient credible evidence is introduced. *_It is natural, rational, and prudent to be skeptical of unsubstatiated claims, especially extraordinary ones._* I welcome any cordial response. Peace.
The reason apologetics exisist is that for what ever reason a lack of exisistance or a lack of interest, god can not or does not tell us anything. So we are expected to rely on humans to tell us what to believe. This is too important to just take some humans word for it. If god doesn't bother to tell me this stuff then why should I believe that he tells other people stuff. People lie so if god does not bother to tell me stuff it is not important enough to bother with myself. Then of course the same apologetics is required for any god that does not exist. Makes one question things. So the fact that apologetics exist undermines said religion.
I think and believe you to be a dope man Preston and also not every Christian is equipped and mature enough to defend and partake in a conversation and make a defense as 1 Peter 3 15 says. Especially arrogant, combative, dismissive, unwise and messy. Thank You Again
Exactly, give a argument. God judges a man by his heart. God the most high knows a mans heart intent. God knows his people's heart. God knows the heart of the Pagans of this world. Question Christianity. Question its origin. Do your research people.
I have not heard one piece of compelling evidence from apologists demonstrating that a god actually exists. People just believe this stuff on bad evidence. Please feel free to change my mind.
I'm really looking forward to this series! You and Jackie have a gift of communicating the gospel in a way that's simple to understand but never diluting the truth...

Perfectly said
I have done many evil sins in my life. I was wretched and deserving of hell. I was lost in nihilism and despair. It's only through God's love for me that I have grace and hope through my Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Without Jesus I am NOTHING and have NOTHING. Glory to God and Jesus for ever and ever, amen.
I Love This.I miss Chuck Missler so Much.What a BLESSING it Is to see more great Apologists rising up to share and REASON together.
I’m a baby apologist❤️❤️❤️ love this video brother.
I can't wait to see what's next and thank you for making these videos. God Bless you, your family and this ministry
Thank You Jesus for the message, and thank YOU for delivering it. God Bless you bro☺️🙏
Big ups big homie. I'm learning a lot.
The Bible said don’t argue! Be gentle and don’t force it on anyone
Nice video. I’m glad your making videos on Jehovah’s Witnesses too Preston I was raised one, and I posted my testimony of how I found Christ. I wore your Jesus Is God shirt during it! Much Love to you bro.
@Caleb I recently had a JW ask me if I believe there is a heaven, I replied 'Yes, there is a heaven and hell' he paused and then started talking about how we return to the earth as dust. As a former JW, is it their beliefs that here on earth is heaven/paradise hence why they don't believe that there is a heaven?

Great video.. brother I’m going to add on soon

Apologetics is an awesome way to defend yourself against the naysayers. You will grow strong. And will have the answers you need. When you need them.
Apologetics are really only a tool for steeling one's faith in the face of counter-evidence. Otherwise, they would serve no purpose. It's not a response to rational argumentation.
Good stuff sir may God bless your vision for Christ.
Yooo lookin fresh, bless this channel
Loving these videos! Would you do one on the compilation of the Bible?
I just found your channel by mistake and truly enjoyed the content. Please keep up the good work 🙏
That was a real nice way to explain
Thank u brother
Thank you so much for this explanation! I look forward to more videos
Thanks for this video Preston, always wanted to know what apologetics means...you are a blessing.
Best and kindly explained..
Oooh can't wait for the next!
Blessings to you
This is exciting!
Great explanation. Thank you brother.
Praise YESHUA!

Glory to God in the highest of Jesus Christ.
There's no apology needed. Christianity isn't something you do, it's something that's done to you by the Holy Spirit. Preach the gospel of grace
Thank you for this.
Any books or study bible recommendations for growing in this area?

Good job with your explanation thank you
Thanks for sharing your God given wisdom 🙏 much love brother in front of God no one has a height or color we are all the same the front of God. Amen
Thank you
Appreciate The Content !
I have a jehovahs witness grandfather and everytime i use a scripture that doesnt line up with his teachings or says that jesus is god he pulls out another scripture that seems to stregthen his beliefs. Help please.

Since he’s in person he has the chance to take it out of context so review the verses and study
have you checked out jesse lee peterson church bond? or kyle beverley street evangelism?
I have a question that I need an answer for, why do Christians reject keeping sabbath and other laws in the torah that Yahusha/Jesus even kept? Jesus even said that the person who rejects the least commandment in the torah shall not enter the kingdom of heaven-Matt.5:19
Hi! As far as I read, Jesus didn’t keep the Sabbath because He healed a man on Sabbath
nicely done
Brother you teach me personally
I love Jesus but I’m confused on how many takes and perspectives there are, I hang on to my faith because without it I’m lost but it’s hard when it just feel like I’m in a never ending cycle of contradicting thoughts, please pray for me , I want to just simple serve and honor the Lord correctly and wholeheartedly, God bless you
how awesome is this.
Amen cuz the lord knows I am wretched but those who do t believe in God does not mean he does not believe in them
Nicee. What are the best books for apologetics ?
All these new terms can we just keep it simple. Followers of Christ works for me
I agree, why the focus on the titles so much. We are all children of God, Jesus never called by any title.
No you can't just start and move there in following it's has purpose and reasoning for what you say, do and represent.
Yes VERY ENCOURAGING 😍😍😍😍😍😍
A question for apologists : why some consider Jesus as a God and not a prophet like other prophets ? Is there any solid justification from a holy revelation ?
The truth right here 🧨
So. What is an apologetic? So, does it mean to defend something? Does it mean to apologize for some offense? I am more confused .. 🤷🏽♀️

Humbly request please tell what I can do?

5. Of the 46 logical syllogisms I have encountered arguing for the existence of a god(s), I have found all to contain multiple fallacious or unsubstantiated premises.
6. I have never observed a phenomenon in which the existence of a god was a necessary antecedent for the known or probable explanation for the causation of that phenomenon.

I welcome any cordial response. Peace.
Wow, ok. This isn't what I was expecting, it's basically defending Christianity. Defend your faith in the one true God. 👍
It was Peter who said that not Paul! 😊
LOVE THIS!
Is it Paul or Peter tho? :/
AMEN
Hey Preston, do you (or anyone reading this) have any good book recommendations that accommodate navigating apologetics (alongside the Bible)?
"A shot of faith to the head" by Mitch Stokes is a good place to begin for more philosophical apologetics.
The reason apologetics exisist is that for what ever reason a lack of exisistance or a lack of interest, god can not or does not tell us anything. So we are expected to rely on humans to tell us what to believe. This is too important to just take some humans word for it. If god doesn't bother to tell me this stuff then why should I believe that he tells other people stuff. People lie so if god does not bother to tell me stuff it is not important enough to bother with myself. Then of course the same apologetics is required for any god that does not exist. Makes one question things. So the fact that apologetics exist undermines said religion.
Can you discuss hebrew Israelites?
They some real clowns, oh my goodness.
Amen 🙏🏾
Is apologetics a glossary trick to obscure all of Christianity's blasphemy against Christ?
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The word defense isn't even in the original kjv scripture 1 Peter 3:15 y'all so lost
Apologestics = Tautology. This is a nice etymology lesson, though.
I think and believe you to be a dope man Preston and also not every Christian is equipped and mature enough to defend and partake in a conversation and make a defense as 1 Peter 3 15 says. Especially arrogant, combative, dismissive, unwise and messy. Thank You Again
Exactly, give a argument. God judges a man by his heart. God the most high knows a mans heart intent. God knows his people's heart. God knows the heart of the Pagans of this world. Question Christianity. Question its origin. Do your research people.
Which of the more than 4 200 are you talking about?
I have not heard one piece of compelling evidence from apologists demonstrating that a god actually exists. People just believe this stuff on bad evidence. Please feel free to change my mind.
tru dat brodie, tru dat!
Can you please speak about hebrew Israelites
They are hateful and hold a works based salvation doctrine aka none of them are saved. The fruits of the Holy spirit are not present in that camp.
Jesus is not god brother he is the son of The Most High God
First
my brother
