CONTEND FOR THE FAITH
"Contend" for the faith!
People who unduly criticize Christianity typically have no religion or belong to some cult. Just ask them for theirs, when they criticize yours; or go to their page and see their posts and thereby discern.
Most critics like to throw a rock and then hide their hand. Few of them can withstand the scrutiny that they would subject you to. This is also true for certain groups within Christianity itself. Call them out as well for clarification!
The Bible says "contend for the faith." Contend means to live a life worthy of the light of Jesus Christ in you in word and in deed, not "needless disputations" which neither advance nor advantage no one and nothing whatsoever!
