Answering Atheists

[quantumfaith]

What do you know about preaching on sin??? Those whom you hold esteem fail to do this so I will not take your words seriously.

I am shocked.

1 peter 3:15 - But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,

This implies a couple things.

1. A true desire in asking the question.

2. Refraining from answering if it cannot be done with gentleness and respect. This rules out hecklers and argumentative atheists and darwinists.

Not so. 1 Peter 3:15 doesn't rule out those who are hecklers &c. So no, that passage doesn't imply point numbers 1 or 2.

See 2 Timothy 2:25

Refraining from answering if it cannot be done with respect lies upon the one answering as being at fault, not the argumentative hecklers.

Point number 1 is also itself faulty and that excuse isn't found in the text in 1 Peter 3:15. IN fact there is no excuse given for the believer in not answering respectfully. Thus points 1 and 2 from wd are both man made and fallacious ideologies not founded in Scripture. It is nothing but worldy wisdom.
