¿Nacemos todos siendo hijos de Dios?

Apologética, Cristianismo, Español, hijos de Dios, Melissa Dougherty
Por Melissa Dougherty Muchos creen que todos los seres humanos nacen siendo hijos de Dios. ¿No es verdad? Quiero indagar qué dice la Biblia acerca de esta hermosa verdad teológica. Muchos creen que todos los seres humanos nacen siendo hijos de Dios. ¿No es verdad? Quiero indagar qué dice la Biblia acerca de esta hermosa verdad teológica. Alerta de spoiler —Es cierto.Pero de acuerdo a lo que dice la Biblia no nacemos siendo hijos de Dios. La creencia de que todos somos hijos de Dios no tiene sustento bíblico y ha generado muchos errores teológicos. Las Escrituras nos muestran que todos somos creados por Dios, pero nos convertimos en hijos de Dios a través de la adopción espiritual. No obstante, al nacer todos tenemos la imagen de Dios.

Satan at the Grammy’s?

J.R. Klein (Josh Klein) The Grammy’s have long been a cultural symbol of transgression. The goal of the Grammy’s used to be to celebrate the best music artists in the world. It was an awards night. Or, at least, it used to be. They have always been edgy and culturally progressive. For instance, in 1973 Helen Reddy thanked God for her award but referred to God as “she” while doing so.[i] The secular entertainment industry lends itself to this sort of subversive rhetoric. But recently the Grammy’s have become more than a shocking cultural display while recognizing the best secular artists of the day.  Long before 2023’s shocking performance by Sam Smith and Kim Petras[ii], they had shifted from shocking and transgressive to lewd and Satanic. This is not a conspiratorial…

Podcast: Play in new window Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Android | iHeartRadio | Email | TuneIn | RSS The Bible is God’s Word. It contains history, entertaining stories, poetry, philosophy, and personal letters. However, the Bible is not just a list of wise sayings that can be pulled out as if from a fortune cookie. It is a unified work and must be carefully read and studied in context. So, the million-dollar question is: How can we know what parts of the Bible apply to us today? On today’s podcast, Frank responds to a listener who calls him a “heretic” for saying that Jeremiah 29:11 is not a promise to modern-day Christians. After all, if it’s not a promise, why is it in the Bible? And does…
