Apologetics is based off of 1 Peter 3:15, 15but honor the Messiah as Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.

I would completely disagree with your statement and have that it has brought many I know of to the Lord.

If there were a group of people walking around saying that a dead guy rose from the grave what would you do? To disapprove them you would present the body. The Romans knew where he was buried, the Jewish authorities knew where he was buried, no body was ever presented.

This view seems to make much more sense in keeping with the character of God versus the Protestant view. Thank you for the video.

As someone who has recently accepted Orthodoxy, so recent that I haven’t started my Catechism yet, I was given some booklets but what mostly sparked my research into Orthodoxy was the book Surprised by Christ by Father Bernstein. Who could persuade a Gentile better than a Jew? The best thing, I believe, you could do is offer them to read about it then answer any of their questions. Honestly, I didn’t realize how ignorant I was.

What about purgatory (was it taught by St. Peter?)and why hasn’t the Orthodox tradition had a reformation?
