Who we are
“Sola Fide Apologetics and Ethics” is NOT a church and is not intended to be a church! “Sola Fide Apologetics and Ethics” is a Christian apologetic and ethic organization that aims to defend the Christian faith at a rational level in order to strengthen believers’ faith and to elucidate to others reasons to believe in Christ (the mission); by doing so believers will conform themselves
to the Christian worldview and reach out to unbelievers (our vision). Mission: Strengthening believers’ faith and elucidating to others reasons to believe in Christ
Vision: Seeing believers conforming to the Christian worldview and reaching out to unbelievers
2. (Philosophical foundations)
Researchers have revealed that one of the main reasons Christians are leaving the Church is because science has become antagonistic to the Church. Many scientific discoveries challenge numerous interpretations of the Bible and put Christian theology in jeopardy. Whereas science and philosophy are providing more likely rational information about reality, the church has emphasized on believing without explanations. In another hand, due to the fact that rationality and self-expression are some of the characteristics of this postmodern era, man has become self-sufficient: man is, therefore, his own measure, and God’s precepts are underestimated.
3. Our values
At “Sola Fide Apologetics and Ethics,” we believe science does not have all answers to reality but some truths can be apprehended only through special revelation. We also believe that faith comes from the understanding of the Word by reasoning; even when we cannot get all understanding by reasoning because we believe one cannot totally apprehend everything in regarding of God. We believe that faith can be reasonable enough to convince unbelievers of what they have not understood. We also believe that man depends on an infinite higher Being (God). We believe that mankind being independent is a mess and subject to chaos. We believe that Christ is a remedy to all harmful society has been subject to. We believe that is life after death in which circumstances unsaved will inherit eternal death, and saved ones will inherit eternal life. We believe that salvation comes from faith and faith alone in the sacrifice of Jesus-Christ. Sola Fide Apologetics and Ethics intends to engage reflection that will convey convictions to our believers and convince unbelievers on reasons to believe.
