Mis cielos – no están en las estrellas

Apologética, Cristianos, Español, Freethiking Ministries, Josh Klein, Preguntas Sobre el Cielo, Teología
Por Josh Klein Los Cuatro Jinetes del ateísmo irrumpieron en la escena cultural, filosófica y espiritual a principios del siglo XXI. Sus posiciones dogmáticas ateas (o incluso antiteístas, según con quién se hable) se popularizaron de inmediato. El difunto Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett y Sam Harris formaban parte del equipo. Llevaron su vitriolo contra el pensamiento religioso a la corriente principal, buscando, por lo que parecía ser la primera vez, hacer proselitismo entre la gente religiosa para que se convirtiera al ateísmo. Estos hombres fueron apodados “Los nuevos ateos” por la cultura popular y parecían tomar el mundo por asalto, a menudo denigrando a sus oponentes como estúpidos y retrógrados. Simplones creyentes de mitos. El libro de Richard Dawkins, El espejismo de Dios, provocó ondas en el cristianismo…

Jesus Wasn’t a Refugee

cultural apologetics, Culture CrossExamined, he gets us, https://www.melissadougherty.co/, Jesus Christ, Melissa Dougherty, Progressive Christianity, Refugee, Refugee Jesus
It seems that every few years, Christians must deal with a new cultural narrative about who Jesus is and what He came to do. Contextualizing turns into syncretism. Jesus’s name is mixed in with the “gods” of the people. Suddenly we have different versions of Jesus made to fit contemporary expectations, more palatable to the masses. White Jesus. Hippie Jesus. Activist Jesus. And now, refugee Jesus. Let me be clear: I think people’s intentions can be pure. People are trying to do the right thing bringing Jesus to our level. But making God in our own image or in the image of the culture has long-term ramifications that don’t end well and muddle the identity of Jesus and the Gospel. Forget that He was a monotheistic Jewish Middle Easterner, following…

Podcast: Play in new window Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Android | iHeartRadio | Email | TuneIn | RSS Have you ever wondered why reality is the way that it is? And what worldview can best explain it? Some of the greatest thinkers in modern and ancient history have pondered the order and beauty of the universe, only to conclude that an “unmoved mover” or “cosmic lawgiver” is the BEST explanation for its existence. But sadly, many in modern society seem to ignore what’s staring at them right in the face! No matter what you believe, all valid religions or worldviews ought to be able to explain WHY reality is the way it is. To do this, there are at least five aspects of reality that humanity has…
