Sheri Bell, 15 May, 2021

El sufrimiento humano es posiblemente el problema más común y difícil que se ha planteado contra la bondad de Dios. ¿Por qué Dios permite que seamos lastimados y heridos? ¿No es malo sufrir? ¿No apunta esto a un Dios indiferente y distante?

Cuando el Día de la Madre Duele

Sheri Bell, 9 May, 2021

Abraham Lincoln, nuestro decimosexto presidente, es citado diciendo: “Todo lo que soy o espero ser, se lo debo al ángel de  mi madre”. Bien, bien por él. ¡No, genial para él! Fue bendecido.

Resurrección de Jesús: ¿Engaño o Verdad?

JMM Team, 4 April, 2021

El Porqué la Resurrección es Importante. La mayoría de los eruditos coinciden en que Jesús fue una persona histórica real crucificada por los romanos.

Guest Blogger, 27 March, 2021

A lo largo de las Escrituras se nos enseña a apoyarnos en el hecho de que Dios es digno de confianza. Debemos liberar nuestras mentes y corazones de preocupaciones.

Why God? For the Gift of Living Broken

Sheri Bell, 6 February, 2021

There’s a suggestion on the table that God wants us broken. If the word “broken” scares you, you’re not alone. Society has taught us to perceive the word negatively.

Materiales que los Escribas Usaron para Escribir la Biblia

JMM Team, 20 December, 2020

¿Cómo registraron los escribas las escrituras antiguas? Antes de la invención de la imprenta, la única manera de duplicar un manuscrito era pasar horas (¿semanas? ¿meses? ¿años?) copiándolo laboriosamente a mano.

3 Argumentos que Usan los Críticos para Juzgar el Cristianismo

JMM Team, 29 November, 2020

Los cristianos, dicen los críticos, son principalmente hipócritas, intolerantes y juzgadores. Eso debería molestar a los seguidores de Cristo.

Why Did God Create Humanity?

Matthew Tingblad, 6 April, 2020

God knew that not all of humanity would accept Him, so why did He create us? When God created humanity, He considered it “very good” (Genesis 1:31). God’s assessment can be difficult to understand, considering what people have done against God from the start. You and I, as objects of… Read more »

Has the Bible Been Altered Over the Centuries?

Matthew Tingblad, 2 April, 2020

To declare that the Bible has been “altered” over the centuries could mean a number of different things. For instance, you could talk about how later scribes added punctuation markings, lower-case lettering, etc., as their Greek language evolved over time. But that is of little concern.

Could the Gospel Writers Know What Jesus Actually said?

Matthew Tingblad, 18 March, 2020

There was a long period of time between the life of Jesus and the composition of the four Gospels in the Bible. Even when we take conservative estimates for their dating, the earliest we typically see is the book of Mark, written around AD 55-70, about the time the apostle… Read more »

Isn’t the Bible Full of Disagreements?

Matthew Tingblad, 11 March, 2020

One common concern that skeptics have about the Bible is that it doesn’t line up. That it’s full of disagreements, which they say proves that it’s a man-made document, not inspired by God. This question can lead to very murky conversations; however, because people mean different things when they discuss… Read more »

Should Apologists Quote the Bible When Trying to Prove it?

Matthew Tingblad, 27 February, 2020

There’s a common objection apologists hear from skeptics: “You can’t quote the Bible to prove the Bible.”  The answer to that? Yes and no.

Why Believe in God if I Can’t Feel, Hear, or See Him?

Matthew Tingblad, 21 February, 2020

It’s easy to believe in things that we can perceive through our senses. But the sensory things of this world aren’t the only things we believe in, right? We believe in many things that can’t be felt, seen, or heard. Consider the following. We believe in: Scientific theories, such as… Read more »

The Bad News and Good News About Christmas

Guest Blogger, 20 December, 2019

This Christmas, there’s good news and there’s bad news! Any Christmas that revolves around Santa comes down to this: are you on the nice list, or are you on the naughty list? If you’ve been good — you qualify for the nice list — and get the reward! If you’ve… Read more »

¿Es Dios Racista?

Josh McDowell, 11 December, 2019

Algunos dicen que Dios es un racista. Un racista es aquel que cree que una determinada raza humana es superior a todas o a alguna de las demás. Este cree que está dotada de una superioridad intrínseca, lo que hace que la discriminación racial esté justificada. Basándose en esta definición,… Read more »

¿Es Dios Sexista?

Josh McDowell, 11 December, 2019

Como cristianos vemos a Dios a través de un lente completamente diferente que el resto del mundo. Los no creyentes retrataban a Dios de muchas maneras distorsionadas, incluyendo misóginas (que aborrece a las mujeres), machista, patriarcal y sexista. Al hacerlo, toman las Escrituras completamente fuera de contexto. Tomar la acusación… Read more »

¿Es Alguna Verdad Solo Preferencia Personal?

Josh McDowell, 8 December, 2019

Probablemente habrás oído a alguien decir: “Bueno, eso puede ser cierto para ti, pero no lo es para mí.” Detrás de esta frase yace una confusión profundamente asentada entre los conceptos de verdad y creencia.

¿Es Realmente Posible Conocer la Verdad?

Josh McDowell, 4 December, 2019

Primero, empecemos por definir la verdad. VERDAD Típicamente, se ofrecen dos definiciones para explicar el mismo concepto de verdad. Webster define la verdad como ” fidelidad a un estándar original.”Tú y yo podemos discutir sobre cuál de nuestros relojes es correcto. Pero para saber con seguridad, tendríamos que comparar nuestros… Read more »

¿Creó Dios a Otros Seres Inteligentes Además de los Humanos?

Josh McDowell, 4 December, 2019

Los científicos dicen que la materia se extiende sobre un espacio de al menos 93 mil millones de años luz. Hay probablemente más de 100 mil millones de galaxias observables en el universo, con un sinnúmero de planetas. ¡Esto es impresionante! Y puede que nos haga preguntarnos, ¿somos los únicos… Read more »

¿Por qué Creó Dios a los Seres Humanos?

Josh McDowell, 1 December, 2019

¿Creó Dios a los humanos porque necesitaba alguien con quien relacionarse? ¿Se aburría y un día se volvió realmente creativo y creó un universo que incluía a las personas? Algunos especulan que Dios quería o necesitaba relaciones humanas, por lo que nos creó para eliminar su propia soledad. Un gran… Read more »

¿Por Qué Peca la Gente Hoy en Día?

Josh McDowell, 26 November, 2019

¿Qué es Realmente el Mal?

Josh McDowell, 21 November, 2019

¿Puede Dios Hacer lo Malo, Cómo Tener Celos?

Josh McDowell, 14 November, 2019

La biblia dice que Dios se pone celoso por nosotros. Pero nos enseñaron desde el principio que estar celoso está mal. Así es Dios capaz de hacer el mal? No. Las Escrituras nos, prometen que “Todo lo que el hace es justo y razonable. Él es un Dios fiel que… Read more »

¿Es Dios masculino o femenino?

Josh McDowell, 12 November, 2019

Para hacer la pregunta, “¿es Dios hombre o mujer?”es como preguntar si Dios es diestro o zurdo. O si su lengua materna es el español o el Inglés. Las preguntas son irrelevantes, porque Dios no está limitado por nuestra humanidad. Dios nos creó a su imagen, pero él no es… Read more »

¿Qué Significa que Dios es una Trinidad?

Josh McDowell, 7 November, 2019

La idea de que Dios es tres en uno es confusa para mucha gente. Dios existe como tres personas, pero él es un ser. Cada persona de la Trinidad —el Padre, el hijo, y el Espíritu Santo— tienen una identidad separada mientras que todavía poseen la naturaleza completa de Dios.Jesús… Read more »
