[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am aware of the term and do not label myself so. I only enjoy helping people learn about Christianity, and more specifically, the love of Jesus Christ. I truly believe Jesus Christ died on the cross for us, and I truly love other people and wish for people to be brought salvation. It was a long road for me to accept Christ completely.[b] I apologize for nothing,[/b] I love Christ only. It’s simple. I know who Sproul is; but I don’t see myself as such a person. I have basic Bible knowledge and learn and grow in the Word through study and prayer and fellowship with others, believers and non-believers.[/quote]

Ok, So now it's obvious that you are never going to get it, but hopefully others -- non-apologists-- will understand after receiving so much information and seeing your numerous responses.

You seem like a good person, though misguided regarding religion. and, as you seem to know, children will go their own way when they are adults.

People can make their own decisions about religion and take or leave anything people type online, including about what I type online. I have zero need to label myself according to the opinions of other people. I honestly represent my beliefs and have no worries about that issue. I am certainly not misguided about what I believe.

People who represent themselves as atheist but are actually anti-theist are deliberately trying to confuse others, and people who do so are disingenuous.

Atheists don’t believe in gods or God. Anti-theists believe religion is harmful. They may even believe God or gods exist, but think religion and Gods or gods have no redeeming qualities or no positive impact at all on people or the world in general.

Christian apologists are a thing, but those people usually attend a dedicated program of education devoted to the subject and feel it is their mission in life is to mount a vigorous defense of Christianity. That’s not me. I did attend a religious college and have studied the Bible, but have never attended any courses that instruct believers to be apologists. I don’t have a degree in theology. I have done mission work abroad and it has been in the field of medicine. Any mission work I have done has been first and foremost, medical care to other people. Incorporation of the love I feel from God and the love Jesus Christ exhorts us to feel for our fellow man is inseparable from any care I provide to any person I treat, though.

You are too much into defining others by your definitions and don’t have the personal knowledge and information you need to do so. [/quote]

And you have shown, via your writing, that you're a Christian apologist who does not understand the terminology or who doesn't want to.  It doesn't matter, really.  You are happy and seem harmless and perhaps feel that your religious beliefs inspire you to help others in need.

Atheists and anti-theists and "nones" can help people in need without being religious, which I assume you are aware of.[/quote]
