¿Qué pensaba Jesús sobre el Antiguo Testamento?

Antiguo Testamento, Apologética, Bibliia, Cristianismo, Español, Jesus, Ryan Leausre
Por Ryan Leasure No es raro que los cristianos hagan sombra al Antiguo Testamento. Estos cristianos dicen que aman a Jesús, pero que podrían prescindir de esos textos judíos primitivos. De hecho, muchos cristianos sugieren que gran parte del Antiguo Testamento es ahistórico. Acontecimientos como el diluvio, el hecho de que Jonás fuera tragado por un gran pez o el ardiente juicio de Sodoma y Gomorra nunca sucedieron. Y luego está la infame cita de que los cristianos simplemente necesitan “desengancharse del Antiguo Testamento” porque gran parte de él es vergonzoso o difícil de entender. ¿Por qué no podemos centrarnos en Jesús? Ciertamente, podemos simpatizar con estos sentimientos. Después de todo, el diluvio y el juicio de Sodoma parecen bastante increíbles y, además, bastante duros. ¿No sería más fácil ignorar…

Should Christians Pursue Personal Success?

Apologetics, Apologetics for Parents, Christianity, Comfort, Culture CrossExamined, Jesus, Mike Taylor, success, truth, Wealth
By Mike Taylor Have you ever found yourself looking at someone else’s life on social media and wondering how they’re able to do all that they do? We see people on Instagram taking vacations, buying cars, starting businesses, quitting their jobs, and doing other glamorous things all while simultaneously raising multiple kids and finishing their Master’s degree. Or so it seems, at least. And as we take in their glorious life, we can’t help but wonder: how on earth do they have the time and money and energy to do these things? Then we might start to wonder, “Is living a life focused on material wealth and personal success something God wants for us?” Because it feels like the glorification of wealth is everywhere we look nowadays, and Christians are…

Podcast: Play in new window Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Android | iHeartRadio | Email | TuneIn | RSS There are some people in the Christian church that say we ought not to expose false teachers or publicly name names. Rather, we should just focus on preaching the gospel. Question: Suppose your pastor got up one Sunday and told the congregation that they’d just found out that someone in the church had been exposing your kids to pornography and drugs. What would be your first question? “Who is this person pastor?!” Now suppose that same pastor responded with, “I don’t like to name names, let’s just focus on Jesus.” Would you accept that? No, and you shouldn’t! So it is when false teachers spread poisonous messages within the…

Serpientes, dragones y la Biblia

Apologética, Biblia, Cristianismo, Cristianos, Escépticos, Español, Evangelio, Preguntas sobre la Biblia, Ryan Leasure, Satanas, Teología
Por Ryan Leasure Si eres de una iglesia de los Apalaches que manipulan serpientes, lamento decepcionarte. Este no es ESE tipo de post. Por el contrario, es un post sobre cómo la Biblia retrata a las víboras, las serpientes y los dragones. Más aún, se trata de cómo un poderoso guerrero vence a una serpiente para rescatar a su preciosa novia. Si esta historia te resulta familiar, es porque muchos grandes cuentos infantiles del pasado cuentan este mismo tipo de historias. Verás, la Biblia presenta tres personajes principales:[1] 1) la serpiente (el villano, Satanás), 2) la damisela en apuros (el pueblo de Dios) y 3) el cazador de serpientes (el héroe, Jesús). Cabe señalar que “Serpiente” es un término bíblico que incluye tanto a las serpientes como a los dragones[2];…
