Why The Bible Depicts God As Jealous

Al Serrato, Apologetics, Bible, Christianity, God, jealous god, Theology and Christian Apologetics
By Al Serrato In my last post, I tried to make the case that God neither “needs” nor “demands” our praise. I acknowledged that he does, however, expect it, because praise naturally flows to a perfect being. But, the skeptic may counter, doesn’t the Bible describe God as “jealous?” Don’t the Ten Commandments include prohibitions on having “other gods” as well as threats of punishment for those guilty of “iniquity?” Does this not, in fact, amount to God instructing us to worship him, and explaining how angry he will become if we don’t? We come back to the question – why would a perfect being demand worship?” These are good questions, and they deserve an answer. But as we embark upon an answer, it’s worth noting that the questions themselves…

How do you respond when those you love say that reason and evidence are just power plays to support your “oppressive” position? You know, the position they don’t agree with but can’t articulate WHY? In this special podcast episode, Frank responds to a heartfelt message shared by a member of our private CrossExamined Community—a father struggling with the fact that his two children have exchanged the authority of Scripture for the authority of self.

Ingeniería de sistemas en la naturaleza

Cristiano, Dios, Español, Ingenieria, Naturaleza, Universo
Por Cathryn Buse Antes de tener hijos, trabajé como ingeniero de sistemas en la NASA en el Centro de Vuelo Espacial Marshall en Huntsville, AL. A lo largo de mi carrera, conocí a muchos científicos e ingenieros brillantes que eran cristianos comprometidos. Pero también encontré mucho escepticismo intelectual hacia el cristianismo, especialmente en la cuestión de la existencia de Dios. La cuestión de la existencia de Dios es uno de los retos más constantes a los que se enfrentan los cristianos. ¿Cómo podemos responder adecuadamente a esa pregunta, especialmente cuando quien la plantea tiene una mentalidad científica? Una forma es a través de la evidencia del diseño, algo conocido como el “argumento teleológico”. Simplemente significa que donde hay diseño, planificación y orden debe haber un Diseñador, Planificador y Organizador detrás.…

Movie Review – What is a Woman?

  By Josh Klein What is a Woman? Seems like an easy enough question to answer, but these days, apparently, it’s a stumper! Conservative commentator, author, and part-time Virginian, Matt Walsh of The Daily Wire seeks to answer this seemingly innocuous question in a documentary released on June 1st. It is no coincidence that the release coincided with the first day of “Pride Month.” Unfortunately, one needs to be a paying member of The Daily Wire to access the film, but, in my humble opinion, it is quite worth it. You can access the film here: LINK If you are teetering on the edge, deciding whether it is worth your time and money, hopefully this review will help you in your decision. Much can be written about this documentary, but…
