Example of Presup Apologetics in Politics

Presup apologetics is a biblical way to defend the Christian faith by stating one’s core beliefs are derived from the Bible.

The Difference Between Evidential & Presuppositional Apologetics

For those who do apologetics (defense of the Christian faith), there are two basic approaches; (1) Evidential and (2) Presuppositional.   Both have biblical examples but only one can deal a death blow to an unbelieving worldview and be biblically shown as the basis for all Christian defense.   Let me explain… when the disciples…

Exposing the World’s Inconsistency
