Are We All Born Children of God?

Theology and Christian Apologetics

by Melissa Dougherty Many believe that all humans are born children of God. Is this true? I want to examine the Bible’s words about this beautiful theological truth. Spoiler alert- It’s true. According to the Bible, we’re not born children of God. The belief that we’re all children of God is never taught in the Bible and has caused a lot of bad theology. Scripture teaches that though we are all created by God, we become children of God through spiritual adoption. However, we are all born in the image of God. All humans have worth, are creations of God, and He loves us. It’s because He loves us that He became His own creation to save us and redeem us. This is precisely why Jesus had to come in…

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…

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. You’ll learn the best questions to ask when people say they don’t believe in objective truth and why no one…

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.…
