    Lecciones de un Estorbante

    Octavio Esqueda — 

    Me encanta la primavera, pero en esta temporada tengo que hacer lo que tanto lamento y pienso es una maldici籀n que viene unida a la hermosura primaveral. Junto con las flores, 獺rboles e incluso el c矇sped, la hierba mala hace su aparici籀n en mi jard穩n cada a簽o a pesar de que nunca es bienvenida en mi casa. Me gusta mucho ver crecer las flores, los 獺rboles y escuchar el sonido de los p獺jaros que visitan nuestro vecindario. Si bien pienso que cortar el c矇sped es un mal necesario que tengo que hacer, realmente ser穩a un poco m獺s atractivo hacerlo si no tuviera que cortar tambi矇n la hierba mala que piensa que est獺 en competencia con el c矇sped para ver qui矇n crece m獺s ...

    Should Christians Accept Intelligent Design?

    William Lane Craig — 

    I'm taking a philosophy of religion course right now, and it is very fascinating to me. I'm taking the course because I am interested in Christian Apologetics. One aspect of Christian Apologetics is to argue for intelligent design. To my surprise, my professor, who is a Christian, does not believe in intelligent design (ID). I also wanted to point out the fact that in an astronomy class my girlfriend is taking, the professor lectured on how most Christians do not believe in ID. As I'm pondering on why my Christian professor doesn't believe in ID and how an astronomy professor lectures on how most Christians don't believe in ID, I start to question if I even know what ID really is ...

    Incarnation and Theodicy

    William Lane Craig — 

    Hi Dr. Craig, Let me first say that while not a Christian myself (although I've somehow ended up doing a theology degree...) I am a very big fan of your program of presenting rigorous and rational justification for Christian doctrine - in particular you have thoroughly convinced me on the cosmological argument! However I am unwilling to move beyond belief in a minimalist Deist creator God for several reasons, among which is the question of: Is the incarnation compatible with theodicy? ...

    What "Dying for our Sins" Means

    William Lane Craig — 

    Dear Dr Craig, I was born in Turkey and simply followed the traditions and became a Muslim. I have always been hungry for knowledge and understanding. So I started to research Islam with the hope that I could have a closer/stronger connection with God. But unfortunately I realized that the Prophet Mohammed stands between God and me. This was my first disappointment. I also found out certain things that put me off so much from Islam, and in fact, from all the other religions. I then became and atheist because I believed it was intellectual, logical and rational. After I studied Mathematical Physics (and understood the true meaning of science, rationality and logic) at university, I realized that atheism was not for me either. My question is about Jesus. I am not a Christian but feeling very close to Jesus since the first day I came to know him. I don't understand him dying for our sins. What does that mean? No Christian has given me a satisfactory answer and I can't think of an answer myself. I am ready to die, today, for my mother but that's not what Jesus did (I assume?). What does it mean to "die for someone else's sins"? ...

    聶Qu矇 Significa Seguir a Cristo? / Who is a Follower of Christ?

    Octavio Esqueda — 

    Uno de los pasajes m獺s conocidos en la Biblia se encuentra en Mateo 28:16-20. Este pasaje es com繳nmente conocido como La Gran Comisi籀n. Jes繳s nos ordena hacer disc穩pulos entre todas las naciones. La palabra disc穩pulo significa aprendiz o seguidor. A inicios de la era de iglesia, se les llam籀 cristianos a los seguidores de Jes繳s (Hechos 11:26). Por lo tanto, disc穩pulo de Cristo o cristiano pueden considerarse como sin籀nimos.

    Pauls 4th Missionary Journey (And I Dont Mean His Trip to Rome)

    Kenneth Berding — 

    Pauls fourth missionary journey? I thought he went on three missionary journeys! Yes, according to Acts, Paul embarked on three missionary journeys. Then he was imprisoned in Palestine for a couple years, transported under guard via ship to Rome (a journey that included a shipwreck on Malta), and spent a couple more years under house arrest in Rome. End of story? No. That is where the book of Acts ends, but it is not the end of the story. There are enough biblical and historical hints floating around to allow us to reconstruct some of what happened next. As a result of such a reconstruction, perhaps we ought to start talking about Pauls fourth missionary journey ...

    New Claims Regarding the Family of Jesus Tomb

    Gary Manning Jr — 

    Geologist claims Jesus was married and had a SON: Expert says he has proof son of God was buried in 'family tomb' along with wife Mary and his brother screams the headline. The sensational headline, along with the release date on Easter weekend, should be our first warning to take the announcement with a grain of salt. To understand what these claims are, we need to go back to a (widely discredited) documentary, The Lost Tomb of Jesus, released by documentarist Simcha Jacobovichi in 2007.

    Is My Argument for Jesus Resurrection Question-Begging?
