Why Take This Christian Apologetics Online Course?
This Christian Apologetics online course is urgently needed, as biblical deconstruction poses a very real danger to the Church and the believer.
What is biblical deconstruction, and what makes it a threat to the Christian Church and every believer? Biblical deconstruction is a modern-day battlefield from within and without Christianity. It is a spiritual war with the evil intent of separating more than people and denominations. Its’ intent is to blur the definition of Christianity and dilute the moral and spiritual authority of biblical truth itself. In a bold and direct contrast to historic creedal Christianity, progressive Evangelical Christianity accepts that there are multiple ways to connect with God – ways other than Jesus. It represents the complete deconstruction of John 14:6 and Acts 4:12 which is very clear:
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
“And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Biblical deconstruction renounces that Jesus is the only way for us to connect with God. It declares that different religions are alternative pathways to connect with a Universal or Global Christ. The Christian Apologetics online course at the Fully Equipped Bible Institute equips believers with a right and righteous biblical defense of the Christian faith founded in the undiluted truths of God’s Word.
Interestingly, the ‘Universal Christ’ Presented by “Progressive Christianity” is Nothing Like Biblical Jesus.
Richard Rohr, a “deconstruction theologian,” explains that Universal Christ is God – and is everywhere – in other people and in creation. He goes as far as to announce that to be a Christian means to see ‘Christ’ in everything and everybody – both good and evil. Sounds good right? No – fully deconstructed Christianity affirms that Jesus’ teaching provides just one of many routes to experience ‘god’, defined as the sacredness, oneness, and unity of life.

Back to the topic of biblical deconstruction. Let’s shift focus to present day saturation for the meaning of the subjectively defined word “deconstruction.” Specifically let’s connect the post-modern practice used for the deconstruction of biblical faith to the critical considerations of Christian or biblical worldview. We start that conversation with identifying the confusions and clarifying the context and practice. Any effective Christian follower in our day should be knowledgeable and adequately skilled in the understanding of Biblical faith deconstruction and a Biblically based Christian apologetics (basic
defense).
What is the deconstruction of biblical faith?
Deconstruction of biblical faith is a postmodern process of rethinking your faith without regard for the Bible as the objective standard of truth for the spiritual, moral, and ethical authority of the sovereignty of God.
As people with biblical faith and a biblical worldview, we want to use contextually accurate language to describe our understanding of how to live as followers of Jesus, and when we use the word deconstruction according to its most culturally common usage today, we find that the concept it describes is not even present in the Bible.
When advising us on how to evaluate our beliefs and live out our faith, Scripture talks about using discernment (Hebrews 5:14), seeking understanding (Proverbs 2:2-5), abounding in knowledge and approving what is excellent (Philippians 1:9-10), and holding on to what is good (Romans 12:9 and 1 Thessalonians 5:21). However, (and I want to be clearly understood in this) there is nowhere in Scripture where we find approval for the practice of biblical deconstruction.
In the Great Commission, Jesus never says, “Therefore, deconstruct everything I have commanded you.” Instead, we find that He said to His followers to make more disciples and to “teach them everything I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:16-20, NIV). There is no Great Decommission. The practice of deconstruction is fundamentally hostile to God and His Word and is in direct confrontational conflict with Biblical principles of Christianity.
We invite you to be fully equipped to refute the present day threat to biblical Christianity. The Christian Apologetics online course at the Fully Equipped Bible Institute will be a great start. Join us in standing for the timeless truths of the Scripture and the truth that Jesus alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no man comes to the Father except through Him.
