La ciencia y el nuevo ateísmo son incompatibles

Apologética, Apologética cristiana, Biblia, Ciencia, Cristianismo, Dios, Español, Jesus, Nuevo Ateísmo, Teología

Por Shadow To Light Uno de los argumentos centrales del movimiento del Nuevo Ateismo insiste en que la ciencia y la religión son «incompatibles”. Los científicos no deben ser religiosos y si alguien realmente valora la ciencia, se supone que deben abandonar su religión. El argumento es convincente solo para nuevos ateos, simplemente porque es más un tema de conversación para su propaganda anti-religiosa que cualquier tipo de argumento sólido. De hecho, podemos decir que es solo un tema de conversación debido a la naturaleza injustificada selectiva de la comparación. Es decir, si la ciencia es incompatible con la religión, ¿no podría ser también incompatible con otras formas de expresión humana? Jerry Coyne recientemente escribió un post racionalizando su uso de ad hominems y el lenguaje inflamatorio: ¿Sabes qué? Me importa un…

Is the Historical Jesus Fact or Fiction?

Apologetics, Bible, Christianity, Evidence, Fact, Fiction, Free Thinking Ministries, Gospel, history, Jesus, Jesus Christ, New Testament, Skeptics, theology, Theology and Christian Apologetics, Tim Stratton

By Tim Stratton As a pastor who spends a lot of time on the college campus, I hear the following challenges quite often from young skeptics: “There is no good evidence to think that Jesus ever existed,” or “Christianity has pagan roots!” One might put these common challenges as two questions: (1) Did Jesus of Nazareth really exist? (2) Are the gospel records of this man merely fictional mythology? In this essay, I want to explore several lines of evidence that will show that the answer to the first question is a clear “Yes!” and to the second “No!” i. Did Jesus of Nazareth really exist? Though there are many “street atheists,” or “internet infidels” who espouse their unqualified views and who in the process influence many…

Teólogos y pensadores: 12 citas sobre Jesús

Apologética, Apologética cristiana, Biblia, Cristianismo, Español, Jesus, Resurrección, Teología, The Poached Egg

Por The Poached Egg “Jesús es absolutamente único en la historia. En la enseñanza, en el ejemplo, en el carácter, una excepción, una maravilla, y Él mismo es la evidencia del cristianismo” A.T. Pierson “Así que yo me quedo con Él, no con el que afirma ser sabio, Confucio; o el que afirmaba ser iluminado, Buda; o el que afirmaba ser un profeta, Mahoma; sino con el que afirmaba ser Dios en carne humana. El que declaró: “Antes que Abraham fuese, yo soy” – y lo demostró” Norman Geisler “En el Antiguo Testamento tenemos a Jesús anunciado. En los Evangelios tenemos a Jesús revelado. En los Hechos tenemos a Jesús predicado. En las epístolas tenemos a Jesús explicado. En el Apocalipsis tenemos a Jesús esperado. En el Apocalipsis, tenemos a…

Messianic Convergence in the Gospels: A New Way to Frame the Argument from Old Testament Fulfilment

Apologetics, Christianity, fulfilled prophecy, gospels, Is Jesus God?, Jesus, Jesus Christ, Jonathan McLatchie, messianic prophecy, New Testament, Old Testament, Prophecy, prophecy in the New Testament, theology, Theology and Christian Apologetics

Anyone who has spent considerable time studying the gospels can tell that they are literally saturated with Old Testament fulfilment and allusions. Indeed, the early church used two primary lines of argument to establish the Messianic credentials of Jesus of Nazareth — the resurrection of Jesus from the dead and Messianic prophecy. How useful is fulfilment of the Messianic prophecy in the person of Jesus to the purposes of contemporary, twenty-first-century apologists? In this article, I explore a way to frame the argument in a robust and objective way. First, I will summarise my argument, and then I will dig into the details. A Summary of the Basic Argument When it comes to the origins of the gospel narratives, there are three contending hypotheses for explaining their origin. These are:…

Is Hell Torment or Torture and Is there a Difference?

Al Serrato, Apologetics, Christianity, Hell, Jesus, theology, Theology and Christian Apologetics

By Al Serrato Making a case for Christianity can be challenging in this secular culture. And what can be more challenging than explaining –no, than defending – the existence of a place of eternal punishment? It’s easy to be placed on the defensive, with an aggressive challenger deriding how a good and loving God could be so vindictive or petty as to subject his children to eternal torture simply because they didn’t “believe” the right things. But Jesus himself repeatedly spoke of Hell, so however difficult a conversation, it is one we cannot evade. Indeed, in some passages, Jesus likened Hell to the perpetual fires burning in the garbage dump outside Jerusalem, in the place called Gehenna. The Book of Revelation leaves us with the jarring image of the lake…

William Lane Craig Lectures on The Evidence for The Resurrection of Jesus

Apologetics, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Historical Evidence, Jesus, Jesus Christ, Resurrection, Skeptics, theology, Theology and Christian Apologetics, william lane craig, Wintery Knight

By Wintery Knight Here is Dr. William Lane Craig giving a long-form argument for the historical event of the resurrection of Jesus and taking questions from the audience. The speaker’s introduction goes for 6 minutes, then Dr. Craig speaks for 35 minutes, then it’s a period of questions and answers with the audience. The total length is 93 minutes, so quite a long period of Q&A. The questions in the Q&A period are quite good. Introduction: Many people who are willing to accept God’s existence are not willing to accept the God of Christianity Christians need to be ready to show that Jesus rose from the dead as a historical event Private faith is fine for individuals, but when dealing with the public, you have to have evidence When making…

Un argumento psicológico contra la teoría de las alucinaciones de Gerd Lüdemann sobre la Resurrección de Jesús

Apologética cristiana, Argumento psicológico, Ateos, Cristianismo, Escépticos, Español, Evidencias, Jesus, Kike Medina, Resurrección, Teología, Teoría de las alucinaciones, Teoría de las alucinaciones de Gerd Lüdemann

Por Kike Medina Introducción: Como es común entre ciertos círculos ateos (sobre todo en redes sociales) podemos encontrar muchas objeciones hacia la existencia de Jesús, sus milagros y su resurrección; Algunas objeciones son decentes y otras son verdaderamente pésicas, formuladas con mucho desconocimiento filosófico y argumentativo, acompañado de ciertas actitudes y prejuicios negativos hacia los cristianos y su fe. Pero hay una objeción que ha ganado fuerza durante los últimos años y ha sido objeto de debate entre muchos apologistas de alto prestigio, sobre todo porque forma parte de una especie de “grupo” de objeciones hacia la resurrección de Jesús y es aquella que postula que los apóstoles y discípulos de Jesús alucinaron al verlo luego de haber muerto por crucifixión y resucitado tres días después. La teoría de las…

Sacrifice and Redemption in the Skywalker Saga

Apologetics, Bible, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, FreeThinking Ministries, God, Jesus, Redemption, Sin, Star Wars, theology, Theology and Christian Apologetics, Timothy Fox

By Timothy Fox With the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the “Skywalker Saga” is officially complete (for better or worse), and we can now examine all nine episodes as a completed whole. (Spoilers ahead!) While all of the Star Wars movies carry similar themes, such as hope, the importance of family, and the ultimate triumph of good over evil, I think there is one concept that rises above the rest: redemption. Quickly defined, redemption is the act of making up for one’s past wrongs. The greater the wrongs committed, the greater the necessary actions to atone for one’s past. Redemption usually (always?) involves some sort of sacrifice, and so sacrifice and redemption are closely linked. The two greatest examples of this in the Skywalker Saga involve Darth Vader and Kylo…

Jesus: The Greater Moses

Apologetics, Christianity, Jesus, Jesus Christ, Jesus the Only Way, JesusIsNotAFakeNews, Moses, New Testament, Old Testament, Ryan Leasure, theology, Theology and Christian Apologetics

By Ryan Leasure An untrained eye might miss it, but the Old Testament, properly read, points to Jesus. From Genesis forward, we see reference after reference to a coming Messiah who would one day crush the head of the serpent (Gen. 3:15). Certainly the covenants with both Abraham (Gen. 12, 15, 17) and David (2 Sam. 7) point to a coming Messiah, but it’s another covenant mediator I want to draw our attention to — Moses. Outside of Abraham, Moses is probably the most significant figure in the Old Testament, because it was through Moses that God gave his Law to the nation of Israel. As special as Moses was, though, God promised Israel that he would send another prophet who was going to be just as, if not more, significant than…

Did Jesus Really Claim to Be God?

AFR, Apologetics, app, cross examined, cross examined official podcast, CrossExamined, crossexamined podcast, Frank Turek, God, google play, iTunes, Jesus, Podcast, podcasting, Radio, Radio Show, Spotify, stitcher, Weekly Podcast

Podcast: Play in new window Sometimes you’ll hear Muslim apologists and other skeptics of Christianity ask, “Where does Jesus say, ‘I am God, worship me’”? You won’t find Jesus using those words anywhere in the New Testament documents. Instead, we read Jesus kept calling Himself “The Son of Man.” On the face of it, that sounds more human than divine. Is that right? Did Jesus really claim to be God in words and actions other than “I am God, worship me”? And if He did claim to be God, why wasn’t He more overt about it? Why not just come out and say it plainly? Frank invites Crossexamined.org board member, and budding apologist, Ryan Crews to the show to answer those questions and more. Join them for a fascinating discussion…
