ANTI--CHRISTIAN

CHRISTIANITY  HAS ITS OPPONENTS.
Arguments and debates have been made since the beginning of Christianity.The Apostle Paul wrote a letter to the Galatians--THEY WERE TURNING BACK TO WORK-ORIENTED BELIEFS.  YOU MUST BECOME A JEW--MUST KEEP THE LAW.   SEE PROOFS PAGES

APOLOGETICS--which  really is mainly a defense for the gospel
THE LETTER TO THE GALATIANS IS REALLY for the beliefs of salvation  to tell the nation by grace you are saved. The Law brings a curse that you must keep it all--not just a part.  However the Judizers who claim that the believer had to become a Jew to be saved.  Peter also dealt with opponents.

1.       1 Peter 3:15.

15	but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: [being] ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear:	kurion de ton criston  agiasate  en taiV kardiaiV umwn etoimoi aei proV apologian panti tw aitounti umaV logon peri thV en umin elpidoV alla meta prauthtoV kai fobou
16	having a good conscience; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ.

Verse 15 Sanctify

(agiasate). First aorist active imperative of agiazw. This instead of being afraid. Christ as Lord (kurion ton Criston). Ton Criston, direct object with article and kurion predicate accusative (without article). This is the correct text, not ton qeon of the Textus Receptus. An adaptation to Christ of Isaiah 8:13.
