Evangelism: the spreading of the Christian gospel by public preaching or personal witness.
Big difference. What I keep telling my Army associates.
Apologetics: reasoned arguments or writings in justification of something, typically a theory or religious doctrine.
The above is what goes on here primarily. However, in only a few weeks of regularly posting here, the "apologetics" happening here is like the movie "The Notebook." Same arguments every week, same dueling links etc.
I can probably highlight this weekend's threads:
-Sola fide
-Sola scriptura
-Canon/Apocrypha
-Luther was a drunk, letch, tore up the Bible, chased around milk maids
“Big difference. What I keep telling my Army associates.”
One spreads the Christian gospel in the hope of converting people to Christianity. It is a distinction without a difference.
“Same arguments every week, same dueling links etc.”
Yes, there are some here who have made a career of spreading falsehoods about the Catholic Church. Quite often, some Catholic will trouble himself to point out the errors. Then the protestants begin to behave badly.
