I have not yet, and I want to be ready when it comes.

There have been several times where I’ve had to defend my faith in Christ either with Jehovah Witnesses or Muslims. I start with let’s agree to disagree and my go to scripture is John 1:1. It gives me the opportunity to go deeper into the book of John. Most of the time the conversation is over within minutes. 🙏🏾I pray that it’s the opportunity to plant, water and God gives the increase.

Many times! Evangelizing in the jail ministry, I have been blessed with the challenge to defend my and the Lord’s message.
Atheists, Jews, Hindus, Agnostics, Buddhists, and Muslims are the usual religions to whom I end up defending myself against.

I haven’t had to defend my faith, but the study does strengthen my faith.

When I do my online Bible studies, I am often presented questions by non-believers who try to use “gotcha questions” to derail the message. Scripture also teaches us not to argue, but to defend God. I am constantly asked “How could God allow?” Or, they cherry pick a scripture and ask, “God allowed this person to be killed,” etc. I explain to them that we are in a fallen world, and “bad things” happen now due to the fact that people strayed from God — straying from God is not part of what God wanted for us. Or, when scriptures are cherry picked, I simply say, “Let’s read the entire passage,” and then it goes from a gotcha to a here is how God is great moment.
