    La navidad y la pascua son los dos eventos claves en el calendario cristiano. En la navidad celebramos la encarnaci籀n de Hijo de Dios quien se hizo hombre y habit籀 entre nosotros. En la pascua recordamos la muerte y resurrecci籀n de Jesucristo. Aunque conmemoramos dos acontecimientos, la realidad es que ambos est獺n unidos porque Jes繳s naci籀 para morir y darnos vida a trav矇s de su resurrecci籀n de entre los muertos. No se puede explicar la navidad sin la pascua y viceversa.

    William Lane Craig — 

    In the news I notice that the BICEP2 project has released some data that measures the polarization of the cosmic background radiation due to gravitational waves in the very first instances of the universes existence. Physicists seem to be getting excited as they claim it supports the multiverse theory. I am not familiar with the mathematics that underpins cosmogony so I was wondering if you had any comments on a few of their claims.

    Scott Rae — 

    Though the New Testament is not a textbook on economics, it was immersed in a particular economic environment and much of the New Testament teaching had implications for economic life. In the New Testament, Jesus takes up right where the Old Testament prophets left off. Care for the poor was just as important to Jesus as it was to the prophets. When the followers of John the Baptist (who was in prison at the time) asked Jesus if He was indeed the Messiah who was to come, He answered in terms that could have been taken right out of the prophets. He put it like this, Go back to John (the Baptist) and tell him what you have seen and heardthe blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are being raised to life and the good news is being preached to the poor (Matt. 11:4-5). The evidence that Jesus was who He claimed to be was not only that He did miracles, but who were the beneficiaries of those miracles were: the poor, marginalized and vulnerable. Similarly, when He spoke of final judgment and what would separate His true followers from the pretenders, He made it clear that how someone treats the poor is a critical indication of a persons spiritual maturity. This is likely what Jesus meant when He said that, I tell you the truth, when you did it to the least of these my brothers, you were doing it to me (referring to feeding the hungry and taking in the needy, Matt. 25:40).

    William Lane Craig — 

    Dr. Craig, I'm an atheist and I've long followed your debates. Though I'm not moved by your arguments I think you present and defend them well. One of these arguments, the fine tuning argument, seems to be quite presumptuous in it's attempt to explain life. It seems to me that it skips quite a few steps to land at a conclusion that life is an ultimate goal of the universe ...http://www.reasonablefaith.org/rr
