Apologetics

Statistically, about 85% of high school students who are Christian walk away from their faith by the time they go to college.  A major reason for this “walking away from the faith” is that many college students do not know why they believe what they do, nor can they defend what they believe from criticism of professors, and individuals of other religions.

Apologetics is basically a fancy word for “defending your faith”. The major emphasis of Apologetics in Life Blood Ministries is focused on the historical evidence that Jesus Christ raised from the dead. Everything depends on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. If Jesus raised from the dead, then Christianity is true. If Jesus did not raise from the dead, than Christianity is false. Considering half of an individuals salvation depends on the resurrection (Romans 10:9), the resurrection is a very critical issue to strike.

Brad Lippincott has debated the issue of Jesus’ resurrection being historical at Penn State and has recently given a presentation on the historical evidence of Jesus’ resurrection at Westfield State University.

Using the resurrection of Jesus Christ helps strengthen faith, and is an excellent tool for evangelism with people of all religions. The resurrection gets to the point of Jesus divinity and love quickly.

Additionally, Brad can also do apologetics presentations on:

- The crusades
- Why other first century books are not canonized
