Why we chose our name "Berean Apologetics Ministry"
Acts 17:11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
1 Peter 3:15 But in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you the reason for the hope that is in you. But respond with gentleness and respect
Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, So one person sharpens another.
Ephesians 4:11-12 So, Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
John 13:35 By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another

The above is the condensed version for the purpose of this forum. I have been on different christian forums for the past 20 years and know what I like and do not like from each of them and wanted to create a different environment for believers to discuss theology with other believers. And everyone that has been invited to participate I know from those above mentioned forums. So I thought you would enjoy a forum with these principles as its foundation and its purpose.
hope this helps !!!
