¿Falta el evangelio en el libro de Juan?
Estaba leyendo un artículo por un teólogo del dispensacionalismo[i] “Mid-Acts”[ii] (el hiperdispensacionalismo), acerca del mensaje salvífico en el Evangelio de Juan (“The Gospel Missing in John” [“El evangelio que falta en Juan”]). Aunque simpatizo con enfatizar la judeidad de los evangelios, y he aprendido mucho de los dispensacionalistas de “Mid-Acts” y de “Acts 28”[iii], creo […]
Worrying at the Red Sea, Part 4 (Exodus 14:11-12)
Then they said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us, to bring us up out of Egypt? Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, ‘Let us alone that we may serve […]
Rechazando el Lenguaje del Monergismo y el Sinergismo
Como gente de la Gracia Gratuita, la mayoría de nosotros queremos ser biblicistas estrictos. No estamos atados, o intentamos no estarlo, al lenguaje o a los teólogos anteriores. Queremos ser Bíblicos de principio a fin. Y eso a menudo significa rechazar términos comúnmente usados. Me acordé de esto en mi lectura del libro de Robert […]
Worrying at the Red Sea, Part 3 (Exodus 14:10)
And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them. So they were very afraid, and the children of Israel cried out to the Lord (Exod 14:10). When bad things happen, and you are in difficult circumstances, what is your reaction reflex? What are some of […]
Worrying at the Red Sea, Part 2 (Exodus 14:4)
“Then I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, so that he will pursue them; and I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord.” And they did so (Exod 14:4). When you are in a difficult situation, it is hard not to focus on your […]
Tres falsas suposiciones calvinistas
Le estaba explicando la teología de la Gracia Gratuita a un calvinista cuando, para mi sorpresa, él afirmó que ¡yo realmente creía en la salvación por las obras! Nadie me había acusado de eso antes, así que estaba curioso de por qué él pensaba eso. Durante nuestra conversación, se me hizo claro que él estaba […]
Worrying at the Red Sea, Part 1 (Exodus 14:1-3)
Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:“Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn and camp before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, opposite Baal Zephon; you shall camp before it by the sea. For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are bewildered by the land; the wilderness has closed them in’” (Exod 14:1-3). Are you familiar with […]
La seguridad eterna–la prueba indirecta de Moisés
“Un trabajo hecho a medias no vale nada.” ¿Usted nunca se ha sentido como un fracaso en su servicio a Dios? ¿Alguna vez ha contado el tiempo que desperdició, pensando en las cosas que ha dejado sin hacer, y preguntando cómo eso podría afectar su posición eterna en los ojos de Dios? Seguramente Moisés se […]
Ruling Over Sin (Genesis 4:7)
Have you ever gone camping and awakened to hear an animal creeping outside of your tent, rummaging through your campsite? Maybe you even turned on your flashlight and could see the menacing silhouette creep around you. Were you scared? If you’ve ever experienced that, then you’ll be very familiar with the first mention of sin […]
Christianity Today, Lying, and Transgender Pronouns
I subscribe to Christianity Today, but maybe not for much longer. I’m not the only one to notice that CT has taken a strong “leftward turn” towards the social gospel and (what I think of as) cultural Marxist stances. Most recently, I came across this article, about a controversy in John Ortberg’s Menlo Church. The […]
