apologetics

intelectual defence. Before we proceed any further there is a double question. What do you believe and why do you believe it?. the case and evidence we present for what we believe. greek Apologia means to give a reply or to give an answer. Biblically we find the concept in 1 Peter 3:15

Theology

What is theology? In general the study or wording or understanding (LOGOS) of God. Define Logos as a sufix. then it is joined to a prefix like Bios or Anthropos or Psycho or Astro etc. In our case is Theos which in general terms means God. However we persue our study of God, based in His Word or Bible. Once we enter in the Bible, we find out that in order to understand God or to study God we are faced with a series of topics that lead us to understand HIM, for example we come to study Christology, Pneomatology, Soteriology, Harmatology, eschatology. These are subdivisions of the broad concept we call theology. Other times we call it Theology Proper as the study of God himself. Question: Do you think if there is a difference between study of religion and the study of theology?. Yes, the study of religion is the understanding of human practices, how they worship, how they pray, etc. The human and social behaviours in traditions, practices, fears, hopes, etc, however the second is to know God, supernatural.
