When it comes to your beliefs and values: Never explain. Never apologze.
That may sound good to the “world’s way” of thinking - but that is not God’s way.
God makes a point to let people know that He does not desire to send people to Hell for eternity and that He has done all that he could to prevent that from happening - to the maximum extent of giving His own Son to die on the cross.
Some might consider that to be somewhat apologetic.
BUT ... it even goes past that point — to the point where we ARE SUPPOSED TO EXPLAIN and explain to all people who may want to know (or even to those who think we’re irrational and looney) ...
15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;
16 having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.
1 Peter 3
