1. Does 1 Timothy 4:10-11 teach universal salvation? 2. Does the Bible teach the doctrine of annihilationism - that there will be no eternal punishment in hellfire or the lake of fire? 3.

Apologetics, simply put, is the defense of the Christian faith and message. We find the following instruction in 1 Peter 3:15, "but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect."
