In this second part of his series on myths in Christian apologetics, Dr. Groothuis discusses five more myths about apologetics. He refutes the notion that God is above logic, arguing that God is the source of logic. He clarifies that Jesus used reasoning in his ministry and that Paul was successful at Mars Hill. Groothuis emphasizes the importance of using words to preach the gospel and explains the hypostatic union, stating that Jesus is truly God and truly man, not 100% of each. He advocates for the cumulative case method in apologetics and stresses the necessity of mastering logic. He also counters the idea that no one becomes Christian through apologetics, asserting that the Holy Spirit can use apologetics to draw people to faith.
Myth 6: Jesus is 100% God and 100% Man
Myth 7: It Doesn't Matter What Apologetic Method You Use
Myth 8: Christians Need Not Master Logic and Argument Forms
Myth 9: We Cannot Know Everything, So God Might Exist in Our Ignorance
Myth 10: No One Becomes a Christian Through Apologetics
Douglas Groothuis, Ph.D., is a Professor of Philosophy at Denver Seminary and the author of nineteen books, including Fire in the Streets (a critique of critical race theory or wokeness) and Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith.

A Prayer for Unity in the Church This Christmas - Your Daily Prayer - December 22
It’s easy to take offense when someone hurts you, or you’re frustrated with where you are in life, and it seems as though everyone around you is thriving. But, when we take an honest look at ourselves and see how God loves us (1 Corinthians 13), we realize we have no right to hold any grudges against our brothers and sisters.
