Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.&nbsp; For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

Maybe you have sat there wondering why the people around you never seem to invite anyone new. An outreach church changes that picture by making every member part of the story instead of leaving it to the pastor alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Think back to the last time someone handed you a simple card or mentioned a website that answered a question you had been carrying for months. That small moment can open the door to faith. Outreach churches focus on those moments so they happen more often and feel less awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The role church plays in our lives grows deeper when the building stays open in spirit all week long. People who never set foot inside on Sunday still need answers about pain, family struggles, and whether God really cares. An outreach church meets them where they already live.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>What Makes an Outreach Church Different\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Most churches want to grow. The difference shows up in the daily habits of regular members. In an outreach church, people keep five invitation cards in their wallet or car at all times. They do not wait for a special event or training class. The cards sit ready because the church made the process simple and repeatable.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One pastor in Montana described how his congregation started placing cards on every chair before service. After the message he asked everyone to hold one during the closing prayer. Within weeks the same people who once said they hated inviting others began handing cards out at work and the grocery store. The change came from removing the fear of what to say next.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Another church ran out of fifteen thousand cards in a short time. Teens who used to freeze when talking about faith found the cards gave them an easy way to start. The cards carried the church name on one side and a website that proves Jesus loves you on the other. No long speeches required.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Biblical Reasons Church Outreach Matters\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Jesus told his followers to go into all the world and preach the gospel. That command did not come with a list of excuses about being introverted or busy. An outreach church takes those words seriously by giving members tools that match real life instead of forcing everyone into the same mold.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Look at the early church in Acts. Believers met in homes, shared meals, and talked about Jesus with people they already knew. The growth came because ordinary men and women kept the message moving. Modern outreach churches follow the same pattern when they equip members with short, natural phrases instead of scripts that feel forced.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Paul wrote in Romans that faith comes by hearing. An outreach church makes sure more people hear. When members carry cards that point to solid answers online, they remove the pressure of having every answer themselves. The church becomes the starting point, not the finish line for every conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Simple Tools That Remove the Fear\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Many believers freeze at the thought of rejection. An outreach church tackles that fear head on with conversation guides that fit in a wallet. One guide suggests saying, “I may never see you again so I wanted to give you this. It is an invitation to my church and a website that proves Jesus loves you.” The words stay short because long explanations often shut doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Another line works when someone hands you something first. You simply add, “And I also wanted to give you this.” The approach feels natural because it builds on what is already happening. Church members practice these lines a few times and then carry the card as a reminder every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Churches also receive custom cards designed with their own logo and colors. The back side explains the website in friendly language so visitors can explore on their own first. No pressure to decide everything in one conversation. The card plants a seed and lets the Holy Spirit do the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Stories From Churches That Started Reaching Out\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Pastor Ron Wilcoxson at First Baptist Church of Blytheville tried many evangelism programs over the years. Evangelism Explosion, the Roman Road, and others all had value. Yet he found the TrueLife.org system the easiest for long-term involvement. His people began sharing faith the very first week because the steps stayed clear and repeatable.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Youth groups tell similar stories. Teens who felt afraid to talk about Jesus now use the cards to start conversations at school. One leader noted that the cards gave them confidence they never had before. The same youth also use the website to strengthen their own faith when hard questions come up.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pastors from different backgrounds, including Jonathan Falwell and Danny Akin, have pointed to the same result. When the church supplies simple tools, members stay engaged instead of burning out after one big push. Growth becomes steady because the method fits real schedules and personalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>How to Begin Outreach in Your Own Church\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Start by ordering a small batch of custom invitation cards for your congregation. Place five on every chair the week before you plan to introduce the idea. During the service, show one short video story from another church that has already seen results. Keep the explanation under two minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Close the service by asking everyone to hold a card during prayer. Pray specifically that God would bring the right people across their path that week. The next Sunday, ask for a show of hands from those who gave a card away. Celebrate every hand. Momentum builds when people see others succeeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Keep the cycle going every week. The repetition trains new habits. Over time the church culture shifts from hoping visitors appear to actively creating opportunities for them to appear. Financial needs, volunteer shortages, and even low morale often improve because new people bring fresh energy and gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Where to Find Help That Actually Works\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>TrueLife.org supplies the cards, the wallet guides, and the online answers that back up every invitation. Pastors can watch a short video at \u003Ca href=\"truelife.org\u002Fpastors\">TrueLife.org\u002FPastors\u003C\u002Fa> that explains the full system without pressure. Church members can send that same link to their pastor and request the free card option from the menu bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The site also offers study guides, video testimonies, and weekly coaching so leaders never feel alone in the process. When your people use the resources, they gain confidence to keep going long after the first excitement fades. The goal stays simple: help more people meet Jesus and connect with a local church family.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If your church feels stuck, the next step is clear. Visit TrueLife.org today, watch the pastor video, and request a consultation. Your congregation already has the heart. The right tools simply give that heart a practical way to reach the people God has placed around you.\u003C\u002Fp>","outreach-church-role-in-lives","Outreach Church: Role in Daily Life and Faith","An outreach church shows the real role church plays in lives.

Tal vez te has sentado allí preguntándote por qué las personas que te rodean nunca parecen invitar a nadie nuevo. Una iglesia de alcance cambia esa imagen al hacer que cada miembro forme parte de la historia en lugar de dejarlo solo al pastor.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Recuerda la última vez que alguien te entregó una tarjeta sencilla o mencionó un sitio web que respondió una pregunta que habías llevado durante meses. Ese pequeño momento puede abrir la puerta a la fe. Las iglesias de alcance se centran en esos momentos para que ocurran con más frecuencia y se sientan menos incómodos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El papel que la iglesia desempeña en nuestras vidas se profundiza cuando el edificio permanece abierto en espíritu toda la semana. Las personas que nunca ponen un pie dentro los domingos aún necesitan respuestas sobre el dolor, las luchas familiares y si Dios realmente se preocupa. Una iglesia de alcance las encuentra donde ya viven.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Qué hace diferente a una iglesia de alcance\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>La mayoría de las iglesias quieren crecer. La diferencia se nota en los hábitos diarios de los miembros habituales. En una iglesia de alcance, las personas llevan cinco tarjetas de invitación en su billetera o auto en todo momento. No esperan un evento especial o una clase de capacitación. Las tarjetas están listas porque la iglesia hizo el proceso simple y repetible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Un pastor en Montana describió cómo su congregación comenzó a colocar tarjetas en cada silla antes del servicio. Después del mensaje pidió a todos que sostuvieran una durante la oración final. En pocas semanas las mismas personas que antes decían odiar invitar a otros comenzaron a repartir tarjetas en el trabajo y en el supermercado. El cambio surgió al eliminar el miedo a qué decir después.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Otra iglesia agotó quince mil tarjetas en poco tiempo. Los adolescentes que antes se quedaban congelados al hablar de la fe encontraron en las tarjetas una forma fácil de empezar. Las tarjetas llevaban el nombre de la iglesia en un lado y un sitio web que demuestra que Jesús te ama en el otro. No se necesitaban discursos largos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Razones bíblicas por las que el alcance de la iglesia importa\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Jesús dijo a sus seguidores que fueran por todo el mundo y predicaran el evangelio. Ese mandato no venía con una lista de excusas sobre ser introvertido o estar ocupado. Una iglesia de alcance toma esas palabras en serio al dar a los miembros herramientas que se ajustan a la vida real en lugar de obligar a todos al mismo molde.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mira la iglesia primitiva en Hechos. Los creyentes se reunían en casas, compartían comidas y hablaban de Jesús con personas que ya conocían. El crecimiento ocurrió porque hombres y mujeres comunes mantenían el mensaje en movimiento. Las iglesias de alcance modernas siguen el mismo patrón cuando equipan a los miembros con frases cortas y naturales en lugar de guiones que se sienten forzados.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pablo escribió en Romanos que la fe viene por el oír. Una iglesia de alcance se asegura de que más personas oigan. Cuando los miembros llevan tarjetas que apuntan a respuestas sólidas en línea, eliminan la presión de tener todas las respuestas ellos mismos. La iglesia se convierte en el punto de partida, no en la meta de cada conversación.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Herramientas sencillas que eliminan el miedo\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Muchos creyentes se paralizan ante la idea del rechazo. Una iglesia de alcance aborda ese miedo de frente con guías de conversación que caben en una billetera. Una guía sugiere decir: “Puede que nunca vuelva a verte, así que quería darte esto. Es una invitación a mi iglesia y un sitio web que demuestra que Jesús te ama.” Las palabras se mantienen cortas porque las explicaciones largas suelen cerrar puertas.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Otra frase funciona cuando alguien te entrega algo primero. Simplemente añades: “Y también quería darte esto.” El enfoque se siente natural porque se basa en lo que ya está sucediendo. Los miembros de la iglesia practican estas frases unas cuantas veces y luego llevan la tarjeta como recordatorio cada día.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Las iglesias también reciben tarjetas personalizadas diseñadas con su propio logo y colores. El reverso explica el sitio web en un lenguaje amigable para que los visitantes puedan explorar por sí mismos primero. No hay presión para decidir todo en una sola conversación. La tarjeta planta una semilla y deja que el Espíritu Santo haga el resto.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Historias de iglesias que comenzaron a alcanzar\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>El pastor Ron Wilcoxson en la Primera Iglesia Bautista de Blytheville probó muchos programas de evangelismo a lo largo de los años. Evangelismo Explosivo, el Camino Romano y otros tuvieron valor. Sin embargo, encontró que el sistema TrueLife.org era el más fácil para la participación a largo plazo. Su gente comenzó a compartir la fe la primera semana porque los pasos se mantuvieron claros y repetibles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Los grupos juveniles cuentan historias similares. Los adolescentes que antes temían hablar de Jesús ahora usan las tarjetas para iniciar conversaciones en la escuela. Un líder señaló que las tarjetas les dieron confianza que nunca habían tenido. Los mismos jóvenes también usan el sitio web para fortalecer su propia fe cuando surgen preguntas difíciles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pastores de diferentes trasfondos, incluyendo a Jonathan Falwell y Danny Akin, han señalado el mismo resultado. Cuando la iglesia proporciona herramientas simples, los miembros permanecen comprometidos en lugar de agotarse después de un gran impulso. El crecimiento se vuelve constante porque el método se ajusta a horarios y personalidades reales.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Cómo comenzar el alcance en tu propia iglesia\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Comienza ordenando un pequeño lote de tarjetas de invitación personalizadas para tu congregación. Coloca cinco en cada silla la semana antes de que planees presentar la idea. Durante el servicio, muestra un video corto de otra iglesia que ya haya visto resultados. Mantén la explicación en menos de dos minutos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cierra el servicio pidiendo a todos que sostengan una tarjeta durante la oración. Ora específicamente para que Dios traiga a las personas adecuadas a su camino esa semana. El domingo siguiente, pide un show de manos de quienes entregaron una tarjeta. Celebra cada mano. El impulso crece cuando las personas ven a otros teniendo éxito.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mantén el ciclo cada semana. La repetición entrena nuevos hábitos. Con el tiempo, la cultura de la iglesia cambia de esperar que aparezcan visitantes a crear activamente oportunidades para que aparezcan. Las necesidades financieras, la escasez de voluntarios e incluso la baja moral suelen mejorar porque las personas nuevas traen energía y dones frescos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Dónde encontrar ayuda que realmente funciona\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>TrueLife.org suministra las tarjetas, las guías de billetera y las respuestas en línea que respaldan cada invitación. Los pastores pueden ver un breve video en \u003Ca href=\"truelife.org\u002Fpastors\">TrueLife.org\u002FPastors\u003C\u002Fa> que explica el sistema completo sin presión. Los miembros de la iglesia pueden enviar ese mismo enlace a su pastor y solicitar la opción de tarjetas gratis desde la barra de menú.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El sitio también ofrece guías de estudio, testimonios en video y coaching semanal para que los líderes nunca se sientan solos en el proceso. Cuando tu gente utiliza los recursos, adquiere confianza para seguir adelante mucho después de que se desvanece la primera emoción. El objetivo sigue siendo simple: ayudar a más personas a conocer a Jesús y conectarse con una familia de iglesia local.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Si tu iglesia se siente estancada, el siguiente paso es claro.

Peut-être vous êtes-vous déjà demandé pourquoi les gens autour de vous ne semblent jamais inviter de nouvelles personnes. Une église d’ouverture change cette image en faisant de chaque membre une partie de l’histoire au lieu de tout laisser au pasteur seul.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Souvenez-vous de la dernière fois où quelqu’un vous a tendu une simple carte ou mentionné un site web qui répondait à une question que vous portiez depuis des mois. Ce petit moment peut ouvrir la porte à la foi. Les églises d’ouverture se concentrent sur ces moments afin qu’ils se produisent plus souvent et paraissent moins gênants.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le rôle que l’église joue dans nos vies devient plus profond lorsque le bâtiment reste ouvert en esprit toute la semaine. Les gens qui ne mettent jamais les pieds à l’intérieur le dimanche ont encore besoin de réponses sur la douleur, les luttes familiales et si Dieu se soucie vraiment. Une église d’ouverture les rejoint là où ils vivent déjà.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Ce qui rend une église d’ouverture différente\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>La plupart des églises veulent grandir. La différence apparaît dans les habitudes quotidiennes des membres ordinaires. Dans une église d’ouverture, les gens gardent cinq cartes d’invitation dans leur portefeuille ou leur voiture en permanence. Ils n’attendent pas un événement spécial ou une formation. Les cartes sont prêtes parce que l’église a rendu le processus simple et reproductible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Un pasteur du Montana a raconté comment sa congrégation a commencé à placer des cartes sur chaque chaise avant le service. Après le message, il a demandé à chacun d’en tenir une pendant la prière de clôture. En quelques semaines, les mêmes personnes qui disaient autrefois détester inviter les autres ont commencé à distribuer des cartes au travail et à l’épicerie. Le changement est venu du fait d’éliminer la peur de ce qu’il fallait dire ensuite.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Une autre église a épuisé quinze mille cartes en peu de temps. Les adolescents qui se figeaient autrefois en parlant de la foi ont trouvé dans les cartes un moyen facile de commencer. Les cartes portaient le nom de l’église d’un côté et un site web qui prouve que Jésus vous aime de l’autre. Aucun long discours n’était nécessaire.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Les raisons bibliques pour lesquelles l’ouverture de l’église compte\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Jésus a dit à ses disciples d’aller dans le monde entier et de prêcher l’Évangile. Cet ordre n’était pas accompagné d’une liste d’excuses liées à l’introversion ou à l’occupation. Une église d’ouverture prend ces paroles au sérieux en donnant aux membres des outils adaptés à la vie réelle au lieu d’obliger tout le monde à entrer dans le même moule.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Regardez l’Église primitive dans les Actes. Les croyants se réunissaient dans des maisons, partageaient des repas et parlaient de Jésus avec des gens qu’ils connaissaient déjà. La croissance est venue parce que des hommes et des femmes ordinaires ont fait avancer le message. Les églises d’ouverture modernes suivent le même modèle lorsqu’elles équipent les membres de phrases courtes et naturelles au lieu de scripts qui paraissent forcés.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Paul a écrit dans Romains que la foi vient de ce qu’on entend. Une église d’ouverture s’assure que plus de gens entendent. Lorsque les membres portent des cartes qui renvoient à des réponses solides en ligne, ils suppriment la pression d’avoir toutes les réponses eux-mêmes. L’église devient le point de départ, pas la ligne d’arrivée de chaque conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Des outils simples qui éliminent la peur\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Beaucoup de croyants se figent à l’idée du rejet. Une église d’ouverture s’attaque directement à cette peur avec des guides de conversation qui tiennent dans un portefeuille. Un guide suggère de dire : « Je ne vous reverrai peut-être jamais, alors je voulais vous donner ceci. C’est une invitation à mon église et un site web qui prouve que Jésus vous aime. » Les mots restent courts car les longues explications ferment souvent les portes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Une autre phrase fonctionne lorsque quelqu’un vous tend quelque chose en premier. Vous ajoutez simplement : « Et je voulais aussi vous donner ceci. » L’approche paraît naturelle car elle s’appuie sur ce qui se passe déjà. Les membres de l’église pratiquent ces phrases quelques fois, puis portent la carte comme rappel chaque jour.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les églises reçoivent également des cartes personnalisées avec leur propre logo et leurs couleurs. Le verso explique le site web dans un langage amical afin que les visiteurs puissent explorer par eux-mêmes en premier. Aucune pression pour tout décider en une seule conversation. La carte plante une graine et laisse le Saint-Esprit faire le reste.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Histoires d’églises qui ont commencé à s’ouvrir\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Le pasteur Ron Wilcoxson de la First Baptist Church of Blytheville a essayé de nombreux programmes d’évangélisation au fil des ans. Evangelism Explosion, la Voie romaine et d’autres avaient tous leur valeur. Pourtant, il a trouvé que le système TrueLife.org était le plus facile pour un engagement à long terme. Ses membres ont commencé à partager leur foi dès la première semaine parce que les étapes restaient claires et reproductibles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les groupes de jeunes racontent des histoires similaires. Les adolescents qui avaient peur de parler de Jésus utilisent maintenant les cartes pour entamer des conversations à l’école. Un responsable a noté que les cartes leur avaient donné une confiance qu’ils n’avaient jamais eue auparavant. Les mêmes jeunes utilisent également le site web pour renforcer leur propre foi lorsque des questions difficiles surgissent.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Des pasteurs de différents horizons, dont Jonathan Falwell et Danny Akin, ont souligné le même résultat. Lorsque l’église fournit des outils simples, les membres restent engagés au lieu de s’épuiser après une grande poussée. La croissance devient régulière parce que la méthode s’adapte aux emplois du temps et aux personnalités réels.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Comment commencer l’ouverture dans votre propre église\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Commencez par commander un petit lot de cartes d’invitation personnalisées pour votre congrégation. Placez-en cinq sur chaque chaise la semaine avant de prévoir d’introduire l’idée. Pendant le service, montrez une courte vidéo d’une autre église qui a déjà vu des résultats. Gardez l’explication sous deux minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Clôturez le service en demandant à chacun de tenir une carte pendant la prière. Priez spécifiquement pour que Dieu amène les bonnes personnes sur leur chemin cette semaine. Le dimanche suivant, demandez un lever de mains de ceux qui ont donné une carte. Célébrez chaque main. L’élan se construit lorsque les gens voient les autres réussir.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Maintenez le cycle chaque semaine. La répétition forme de nouvelles habitudes. Au fil du temps, la culture de l’église passe de l’espoir que des visiteurs apparaissent à la création active d’occasions pour qu’ils apparaissent. Les besoins financiers, les pénuries de bénévoles et même le faible moral s’améliorent souvent parce que de nouvelles personnes apportent une énergie et des dons frais.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Où trouver une aide qui fonctionne vraiment\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>TrueLife.org fournit les cartes, les guides de portefeuille et les réponses en ligne qui soutiennent chaque invitation. Les pasteurs peuvent regarder une courte vidéo sur \u003Ca href=\"truelife.org\u002Fpastors\">TrueLife.org\u002FPastors\u003C\u002Fa> qui explique le système complet sans pression. Les membres de l'église peuvent envoyer ce même lien à leur pasteur et demander l'option carte gratuite depuis la barre de menu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le site propose également des guides d'étude, des témoignages vidéo et un coaching hebdomadaire afin que les responsables ne se sentent jamais seuls dans le processus. Lorsque vos membres utilisent les ressources, ils gagnent en confiance pour continuer bien après que la première excitation s'estompe. L'objectif reste simple : aider davantage de personnes à rencontrer Jésus et à se connecter avec une famille d'église locale.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Si votre église se sent bloquée, la prochaine étape est claire.

Someone sits alone in the coffee shop, scrolling through a phone that never quite fills the hole. Your church has the answer in Jesus, yet handing out tracts or cornering strangers feels forced. Church outreach does not need to look that way. It can feel like one person simply passing a card and saying a short sentence that opens a door.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Real outreach starts with the people already in your pews. When they feel equipped and unafraid, they begin to reach out on Monday morning at work or Tuesday at the gym. The change shows up in new faces on Sunday and in stories of quiet conversations that turn into lasting faith.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Over the years I have watched churches try program after program. The ones that last keep things simple, repeatable, and tied to what Scripture already commands. That is the kind of outreach we are going to talk through here.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>What Everyday Church Outreach Looks Like\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Most people picture a big event with a tent and a band. That can work, but it is not the only way. Everyday outreach happens when a mom slips an invitation card into her neighbor’s mailbox after a playdate. It happens when a teenager hands a card to the barista and says, “I also wanted to give you this. It’s an invitation to my church and a website that proves Jesus loves you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The card itself carries the church logo on one side and a short message on the back that removes the fear of what comes next. No long explanation required. The person receiving it can go home, visit the site, and explore questions without anyone watching. That low-pressure entry point matters more than we admit.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pastor Ron Wilcoxson of First Baptist Church of Blytheville tried many evangelism trainings over the years. He told me the TrueLife approach was the first one his people actually kept using after the first week. They placed five cards on every chair before service, prayed for thirty seconds at the end, and watched members leave with something concrete in their hands. Within months the cards were gone and new visitors kept showing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Biblical Reasons We Reach Out at All\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Jesus did not suggest outreach. He commanded it. Matthew 28:19 tells us to go and make disciples of all nations. The first disciples did not wait for perfect conditions. Acts 8 shows Philip simply sitting in a chariot and explaining Scripture to a man who was already searching. That conversation started with one man willing to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Paul reminds the church in 2 Corinthians 5:20 that we are ambassadors. An ambassador does not invent the message. He carries it. When your members hand out a card that points to clear answers about Jesus, they are doing exactly what Scripture describes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Church outreach also reflects the heart of God for the lost. Luke 15 records three stories of something lost and then found. Each time heaven celebrates. When your church makes invitation simple, you join that celebration instead of watching from the sidelines.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>How to Remove Fear for Your Church Members\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Fear stops most outreach before it starts. People worry about rejection or hard questions. The solution is not more training that piles on pressure. It is a short sentence and a card that does the heavy lifting.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Give members three or four ready phrases they can say in different situations. If someone hands them something first, they reply, “And I also wanted to give you this. It’s an invitation to my church and a website that proves Jesus loves you.” If they feel led to speak to a stranger, they say, “I may never see you again so I wanted to give you this.” The words are natural. They fit in a wallet. They remove the need to improvise.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Youth groups especially benefit. Many teens told their leaders they felt afraid until they had the cards. The card gave them something to hold and a script to follow. Suddenly inviting friends felt doable instead of impossible. Your youth pastor will notice the difference within weeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Practical Steps That Keep Momentum Going\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Start before the service even begins. Place five cards on every chair or stack them near the pews. People pick them up without a big announcement. During the service nothing changes. You preach the same sermon you planned. At the close, hold up a card and pray for thirty seconds that each person will hand theirs out that week. That is the entire system.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Repeat it every Sunday. Consistency beats intensity. Churches that do this report members inviting five people each week without extra meetings or guilt trips. The cards get used because they stay visible and the prayer keeps the focus on dependence on God.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If you are a church member reading this, do not wait for the whole congregation to move. Print a few cards yourself or order them through TrueLife.org. Hand them out this week. Then send the link TrueLife.org\u002FPastors to your pastor and ask him to watch the short video on that page. Many pastors only need to see one real example before they bring the system to the whole church.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Stories That Show What Changes\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>One church ran out of fifteen thousand cards in a short time. Members kept asking for more because the simple tool worked. Another pastor shared that he had never invited anyone to church until he held the card in his hand. The physical object gave him courage he did not have before.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Teens in a different congregation used the same cards to reach classmates who later visited on a Sunday. The parents noticed their kids talking about faith at the dinner table instead of staying silent. Growth showed up in both numbers and changed conversations at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>These results line up with what leaders like Dr. Danny Akin and Ken Ham have said about the approach. It takes evangelism, discipleship, and local church growth and puts them into one simple rhythm anyone can follow. Josh McDowell called it an edge that gives members courage. Fred Luter said it mobilizes people in a way nothing else had.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Where to Find the Tools Your Church Needs\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>You do not have to create the cards or the phrases from scratch. TrueLife.org supplies custom invitation cards branded with your church colors and logo. The back carries the exact language that removes fear. They also provide wallet-sized “What to Say” cards so members always have the phrases ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pastors can schedule a free consultation at \u003Ca href=\"truelife.org\u002Fpastors\">TrueLife.org\u002FPastors\u003C\u002Fa> and watch the short video that explains the full process. Church members can grab free cards right from the menu bar on the same site while they wait for their pastor to get started. The site also offers study guides, testimony tools, and weekly coaching that keep outreach from fading after the first month.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Every major problem in a church ultimately traces back to a lack of growth. More people reached means more workers, more resources, and more joy. Church outreach done simply and consistently answers that need without adding another complicated program. Start this week with one card and one sentence. The people you meet may be the very ones Jesus has already prepared to hear.\u003C\u002Fp>","church-outreach-real-connections","Church Outreach: Simple Ways That Actually Work","Church outreach connects people to faith without pressure.

Puede parecer una persona que simplemente entrega una tarjeta y dice una frase corta que abre una puerta.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El alcance real comienza con las personas que ya están en tus bancos. Cuando se sienten equipadas y sin miedo, comienzan a alcanzar a otros el lunes por la mañana en el trabajo o el martes en el gimnasio. El cambio se nota en nuevas caras el domingo y en historias de conversaciones tranquilas que se convierten en fe duradera.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A lo largo de los años he visto a iglesias probar programa tras programa. Las que perduran mantienen las cosas simples, repetibles y vinculadas a lo que la Escritura ya ordena. Ese es el tipo de alcance del que vamos a hablar aquí.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Cómo se ve el alcance cotidiano de la iglesia\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>La mayoría de las personas imagina un gran evento con una carpa y una banda. Eso puede funcionar, pero no es la única manera. El alcance cotidiano ocurre cuando una mamá desliza una tarjeta de invitación en el buzón de su vecina después de una cita de juego. Sucede cuando un adolescente entrega una tarjeta al barista y dice: “También quería darte esto. Es una invitación a mi iglesia y un sitio web que demuestra que Jesús te ama”.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La tarjeta misma lleva el logo de la iglesia en un lado y un mensaje corto en el reverso que elimina el miedo a lo que viene después. No se requiere una larga explicación. La persona que la recibe puede ir a casa, visitar el sitio y explorar preguntas sin que nadie la observe. Ese punto de entrada de baja presión importa más de lo que admitimos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El pastor Ron Wilcoxson de la Primera Iglesia Bautista de Blytheville probó muchos entrenamientos de evangelismo a lo largo de los años. Me dijo que el enfoque TrueLife fue el primero que su gente realmente siguió usando después de la primera semana. Colocaban cinco tarjetas en cada silla antes del servicio, oraban durante treinta segundos al final y veían a los miembros salir con algo concreto en sus manos. En cuestión de meses las tarjetas se agotaron y seguían llegando nuevos visitantes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Razones bíblicas por las que alcanzamos a otros\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Jesús no sugirió el alcance. Lo ordenó. Mateo 28:19 nos dice que vayamos y hagamos discípulos de todas las naciones. Los primeros discípulos no esperaron condiciones perfectas. Hechos 8 muestra a Felipe simplemente sentado en un carro y explicando las Escrituras a un hombre que ya estaba buscando. Esa conversación comenzó con un hombre dispuesto a hablar.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pablo recuerda a la iglesia en 2 Corintios 5:20 que somos embajadores. Un embajador no inventa el mensaje. Lo lleva. Cuando tus miembros entregan una tarjeta que apunta a respuestas claras sobre Jesús, están haciendo exactamente lo que describe la Escritura.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El alcance de la iglesia también refleja el corazón de Dios por los perdidos. Lucas 15 registra tres historias de algo perdido y luego encontrado. Cada vez el cielo celebra. Cuando tu iglesia hace que la invitación sea simple, te unes a esa celebración en lugar de observar desde la barrera.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Cómo eliminar el miedo en los miembros de tu iglesia\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>El miedo detiene la mayoría de los alcances antes de que comiencen. Las personas se preocupan por el rechazo o por preguntas difíciles. La solución no es más capacitación que añade presión. Es una frase corta y una tarjeta que hace el trabajo pesado.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Da a los miembros tres o cuatro frases listas que pueden decir en diferentes situaciones. Si alguien les entrega algo primero, responden: “Y también quería darte esto. Es una invitación a mi iglesia y un sitio web que demuestra que Jesús te ama”. Si se sienten guiados a hablar con un extraño, dicen: “Puede que nunca te vuelva a ver, así que quería darte esto”. Las palabras son naturales. Caben en una billetera. Eliminan la necesidad de improvisar.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Los grupos de jóvenes se benefician especialmente. Muchos adolescentes les dijeron a sus líderes que se sentían asustados hasta que tuvieron las tarjetas. La tarjeta les dio algo que sostener y un guion que seguir. De repente, invitar a amigos se sintió posible en lugar de imposible. Tu pastor de jóvenes notará la diferencia en cuestión de semanas.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Pasos prácticos que mantienen el impulso\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Comienza antes de que el servicio siquiera inicie. Coloca cinco tarjetas en cada silla o apílalas cerca de los bancos. Las personas las recogen sin un gran anuncio. Durante el servicio nada cambia. Predicas el mismo sermón que planeaste. Al final, sostén una tarjeta y ora durante treinta segundos para que cada persona entregue la suya esa semana. Ese es todo el sistema.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Repítelo cada domingo. La constancia vence a la intensidad. Las iglesias que hacen esto reportan que los miembros invitan a cinco personas cada semana sin reuniones extras ni culpas. Las tarjetas se usan porque permanecen visibles y la oración mantiene el enfoque en la dependencia de Dios.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Si eres un miembro de la iglesia que lee esto, no esperes a que toda la congregación se mueva. Imprime algunas tarjetas tú mismo o ordénalas a través de TrueLife.org. Repártelas esta semana. Luego envía el enlace TrueLife.org\u002FPastors a tu pastor y pídele que vea el video corto en esa página. Muchos pastores solo necesitan ver un ejemplo real antes de llevar el sistema a toda la iglesia.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Historias que muestran lo que cambia\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Una iglesia agotó quince mil tarjetas en poco tiempo. Los miembros seguían pidiendo más porque la herramienta simple funcionaba. Otro pastor compartió que nunca había invitado a nadie a la iglesia hasta que tuvo la tarjeta en la mano. El objeto físico le dio el valor que no tenía antes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Adolescentes en una congregación diferente usaron las mismas tarjetas para alcanzar a compañeros de clase que luego visitaron un domingo. Los padres notaron que sus hijos hablaban de fe en la mesa en lugar de permanecer en silencio. El crecimiento se mostró tanto en números como en conversaciones cambiadas en casa.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Estos resultados coinciden con lo que líderes como el Dr. Danny Akin y Ken Ham han dicho sobre el enfoque. Toma la evangelización, el discipulado y el crecimiento de la iglesia local y los pone en un ritmo simple que cualquiera puede seguir. Josh McDowell lo llamó una ventaja que da valor a los miembros. Fred Luter dijo que moviliza a las personas de una manera que nada más lo había hecho.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Dónde encontrar las herramientas que necesita su iglesia\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>No tiene que crear las tarjetas ni las frases desde cero. TrueLife.org suministra tarjetas de invitación personalizadas con los colores y el logotipo de su iglesia. El reverso lleva el lenguaje exacto que elimina el miedo. También proporcionan tarjetas “Qué decir” del tamaño de una billetera para que los miembros siempre tengan las frases a mano.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Los pastores pueden programar una consulta gratuita en \u003Ca href=\"truelife.org\u002Fpastors\">TrueLife.org\u002FPastors\u003C\u002Fa> y ver el video corto que explica todo el proceso. Los miembros de la iglesia pueden obtener tarjetas gratuitas directamente desde la barra de menú del mismo sitio mientras esperan a que su pastor comience. El sitio también ofrece guías de estudio, herramientas de testimonio y capacitación semanal que evitan que el alcance se desvanezca después del primer mes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cada problema importante en una iglesia finalmente se remonta a una falta de crecimiento. Más personas alcanzadas significa más obreros, más recursos y más gozo. El alcance de la iglesia hecho de manera simple y constante responde a esa necesidad sin agregar otro programa complicado. Comience esta semana con una tarjeta y una frase. Las personas que conozca pueden ser precisamente aquellas que Jesús ya ha preparado para escuchar.","El alcance de la iglesia lleva a personas que sufren a una comunidad y fe reales.

Quelqu’un est assis seul dans le café, faisant défiler un téléphone qui ne comble jamais vraiment le vide. Votre église a la réponse en Jésus, pourtant distribuer des tracts ou aborder des inconnus semble forcé. L’évangélisation de l’église n’a pas besoin de ressembler à cela. Elle peut ressembler à une personne qui tend simplement une carte et prononce une courte phrase qui ouvre une porte.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La véritable évangélisation commence avec les personnes déjà présentes dans vos bancs. Quand elles se sentent équipées et sans crainte, elles commencent à tendre la main le lundi matin au travail ou le mardi à la salle de sport. Le changement se manifeste par de nouveaux visages le dimanche et par des histoires de conversations discrètes qui se transforment en foi durable.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Au fil des années, j’ai vu des églises essayer programme après programme. Celles qui perdurent gardent les choses simples, reproductibles et liées à ce que l’Écriture commande déjà. C’est le genre d’évangélisation dont nous allons parler ici.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>À quoi ressemble l’évangélisation quotidienne de l’église\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>La plupart des gens imaginent un grand événement avec une tente et un groupe. Cela peut fonctionner, mais ce n’est pas la seule façon. L’évangélisation quotidienne se produit quand une maman glisse une carte d’invitation dans la boîte aux lettres de sa voisine après une après-midi de jeux. Elle se produit quand un adolescent tend une carte au barista et dit : « Je voulais aussi vous donner ceci. C’est une invitation à mon église et un site web qui prouve que Jésus vous aime. »\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La carte elle-même porte le logo de l’église d’un côté et un court message au dos qui supprime la peur de ce qui vient ensuite. Aucune longue explication n’est requise. La personne qui la reçoit peut rentrer chez elle, visiter le site et explorer ses questions sans que personne ne l’observe. Ce point d’entrée sans pression compte plus que nous ne l’admettons.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le pasteur Ron Wilcoxson de la First Baptist Church of Blytheville a essayé de nombreuses formations à l’évangélisation au fil des ans. Il m’a dit que l’approche TrueLife était la première que ses membres ont réellement continué à utiliser après la première semaine. Ils plaçaient cinq cartes sur chaque chaise avant le service, priaient trente secondes à la fin et voyaient les membres partir avec quelque chose de concret entre les mains. En quelques mois, les cartes étaient parties et de nouveaux visiteurs continuaient d’arriver.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Les raisons bibliques pour lesquelles nous évangélisons\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Jésus n’a pas suggéré l’évangélisation. Il l’a commandée. Matthieu 28:19 nous dit d’aller et de faire des disciples de toutes les nations. Les premiers disciples n’ont pas attendu des conditions parfaites. Actes 8 montre Philippe assis simplement dans un char et expliquant l’Écriture à un homme qui cherchait déjà. Cette conversation a commencé par un homme prêt à parler.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Paul rappelle à l’église dans 2 Corinthiens 5:20 que nous sommes des ambassadeurs. Un ambassadeur n’invente pas le message. Il le porte. Quand vos membres tendent une carte qui pointe vers des réponses claires sur Jésus, ils font exactement ce que décrit l’Écriture.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>L’évangélisation de l’église reflète aussi le cœur de Dieu pour les perdus. Luc 15 rapporte trois histoires de quelque chose de perdu puis retrouvé. Chaque fois, le ciel célèbre. Quand votre église rend l’invitation simple, vous vous joignez à cette célébration au lieu de regarder depuis les gradins.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Comment supprimer la peur chez les membres de votre église\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>La peur arrête la plupart des évangélisations avant même qu’elles ne commencent. Les gens s’inquiètent du rejet ou des questions difficiles. La solution n’est pas plus de formation qui ajoute de la pression. C’est une courte phrase et une carte qui fait le gros du travail.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Donnez aux membres trois ou quatre phrases toutes prêtes qu’ils peuvent dire dans différentes situations. Si quelqu’un leur tend quelque chose en premier, ils répondent : « Et je voulais aussi vous donner ceci. C’est une invitation à mon église et un site web qui prouve que Jésus vous aime. » S’ils se sentent conduits à parler à un inconnu, ils disent : « Je ne vous reverrai peut-être jamais, alors je voulais vous donner ceci. » Les mots sont naturels. Ils tiennent dans un portefeuille. Ils suppriment le besoin d’improviser.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les groupes de jeunes en bénéficient particulièrement. Beaucoup d’adolescents ont dit à leurs responsables qu’ils avaient peur jusqu’à ce qu’ils aient les cartes. La carte leur donnait quelque chose à tenir et un script à suivre. Inviter des amis semblait soudain faisable plutôt qu’impossible. Votre pasteur des jeunes remarquera la différence en quelques semaines.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Étapes pratiques qui maintiennent l’élan\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Commencez avant même que le service ne débute. Placez cinq cartes sur chaque chaise ou empilez-les près des bancs. Les gens les prennent sans grande annonce. Pendant le service, rien ne change. Vous prêchez le même sermon que vous aviez prévu. À la fin, tenez une carte et priez trente secondes pour que chacun tende la sienne cette semaine. C’est tout le système.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Répétez-le chaque dimanche. La constance bat l’intensité. Les églises qui font cela rapportent que les membres invitent cinq personnes chaque semaine sans réunions supplémentaires ni culpabilisation. Les cartes sont utilisées parce qu’elles restent visibles et la prière maintient l’accent sur la dépendance à Dieu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Si vous êtes un membre d’église qui lit ceci, n’attendez pas que toute la congrégation bouge. Imprimez quelques cartes vous-même ou commandez-les via TrueLife.org. Tendez-les cette semaine. Puis envoyez le lien TrueLife.org\u002FPastors à votre pasteur et demandez-lui de regarder la courte vidéo sur cette page. Beaucoup de pasteurs n’ont besoin que d’un seul exemple concret avant d’apporter le système à toute l’église.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Histoires qui montrent ce qui change\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Une église a épuisé quinze mille cartes en peu de temps. Les membres continuaient à en demander parce que l’outil simple fonctionnait. Un autre pasteur a partagé qu’il n’avait jamais invité personne à l’église jusqu’à ce qu’il tienne la carte dans sa main. L’objet physique lui a donné le courage qu’il n’avait pas auparavant.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Des adolescents d’une autre congrégation ont utilisé les mêmes cartes pour atteindre des camarades de classe qui ont ensuite visité un dimanche. Les parents ont remarqué que leurs enfants parlaient de foi à la table du dîner au lieu de rester silencieux. La croissance s’est manifestée à la fois par les chiffres et par des conversations transformées à la maison.\u003C\u002Fp>Ces résultats concordent avec ce que des leaders comme le Dr Danny Akin et Ken Ham ont déclaré à propos de cette approche. Elle rassemble l’évangélisation, le discipolat et la croissance de l’Église locale en un rythme simple que tout le monde peut suivre. Josh McDowell l’a qualifiée d’avantage qui donne du courage aux membres. Fred Luter a déclaré qu’elle mobilise les gens d’une manière qu’aucune autre n’avait fait.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Où trouver les outils dont votre Église a besoin\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Vous n’avez pas besoin de créer les cartes ou les phrases à partir de zéro. TrueLife.org fournit des cartes d’invitation personnalisées aux couleurs et au logo de votre Église. Le verso porte le langage exact qui élimine la peur.

TrueLife.org는 교회 색상과 로고로 맞춤 제작된 초대 카드를 제공합니다. 뒷면에는 두려움을 없애는 정확한 문구가 적혀 있습니다. 또한 교인들이 언제든지 문구를 확인할 수 있도록 지갑 크기의 “What to Say” 카드도 제공합니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>목회자는 \u003Ca href=\"truelife.org\u002Fpastors\">TrueLife.org\u002FPastors\u003C\u002Fa>에서 무료 상담을 예약하고 전체 과정을 설명하는 짧은 영상을 시청할 수 있습니다. 교인들은 목회자가 시작하기를 기다리는 동안 같은 사이트의 메뉴 바에서 무료 카드를 받을 수 있습니다. 이 사이트는 전도가 첫 달 이후에 흐지부지되지 않도록 스터디 가이드, 간증 도구, 주간 코칭도 제공합니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>교회의 모든 주요 문제는 결국 성장 부족으로 귀결됩니다. 더 많은 사람이 전도되면 더 많은 일꾼, 더 많은 자원, 더 많은 기쁨이 생깁니다. 교회 전도를 단순하고 일관되게 수행하면 복잡한 프로그램을 추가하지 않고도 그 필요를 충족할 수 있습니다. 이번 주에 카드 한 장과 한 문장으로 시작해 보십시오. 여러분이 만나는 사람들이 바로 예수님이 이미 말씀을 들을 준비를 하신 사람들일 수 있습니다.","교회 봉사 활동은 상처받은 사람들을 진정한 공동체와 신앙으로 인도합니다. 간단하고 반복 가능한 단계들이 어떻게 두려움을 없애고 성도들이 자연스럽게 다른 사람들을 초대할 수 있게 돕는지 확인해 보세요.","교회 아웃리치: 실제로 효과가 있는 간단한 방법들","교회 봉사활동은 부담 없이 사람들을 신앙과 연결합니다. 부담이 적은 초대 방법, 성경적 사례, 그리고 교회가 매주 성장하도록 돕는 도구들을 배워보세요.",{"id":371,"title":372,"content":373,"embed":18,"slug":374,"meta_title":372,"meta_description":375,"focus_keyword":376,"excerpt":377,"locale":323,"origin":324,"category_id":18,"image":378,"created_at":379,"updated_at":380,"date":379,"title_es":381,"content_es":382,"excerpt_es":383,"meta_title_es":381,"meta_description_es":384,"title_fr":385,"content_fr":386,"excerpt_fr":387,"meta_title_fr":388,"meta_description_fr":389,"title_ko":390,"content_ko":391,"excerpt_ko":392,"meta_title_ko":393,"meta_description_ko":394},143,"Church Outreach Ideas That Draw People In","\u003Cp>You've probably felt it. The Sunday service ends, and you wonder how to get more people through the doors who really need what your church offers. Outreach isn't about flashy events or pressure tactics. It's about showing up with genuine care and giving folks an easy next step.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jesus told us to go and make disciples, and that starts with simple connections. Over the years I've watched small churches grow because they tried a handful of consistent ideas instead of chasing every new trend. These church outreach ideas focus on real life, not theory.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Let's walk through practical approaches that fit different personalities and church sizes. Whether you're a pastor looking to equip your people or a member who wants to help, these steps keep things natural and repeatable.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Start With Personal Invitations That Feel Normal\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Most people still come to church because someone they know invited them. The key is removing the awkwardness. One church I know hands out simple invitation cards every week. Members grab five before they leave and keep them in a wallet or purse.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The cards carry the church logo on the front and a short message on the back that says something like, \"A website that proves Jesus loves you.\" That line gives people an easy way to hand it over without a long speech. If the person already goes to another church, the card suggests showing it to their pastor for their own outreach.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Scripture backs this up in Colossians 4:5-6 where Paul says to be wise in how you act toward outsiders and let your conversation be full of grace. The card becomes the conversation starter so no one has to feel like a salesperson. Pastors who use this system report members starting to invite within the first week instead of waiting for perfect words.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Try this on Sunday: place the cards on every chair during setup. Close the service with a thirty-second prayer where everyone holds one. That simple rhythm builds the habit fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Serve Your Neighborhood in Visible Ways\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Outreach gains traction when the community sees the church helping without strings attached. One congregation started a monthly neighborhood clean-up. They provided gloves and bags, then offered free coffee and donuts afterward. No sermon required at the event itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Another group partnered with a local school to stock a teacher supply closet. Members dropped off items during the week and the church delivered everything at once. Teachers started asking questions about the church because they noticed the consistent help.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Romans 12:13 reminds us to share with God's people who are in need and practice hospitality. These acts open doors for later conversations. Keep the focus on meeting real needs first. People remember who showed up when the power went out or when kids needed backpacks for the new school year.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Track what your area actually needs. Walk the streets around your building and notice the gaps. Then match one or two needs with skills already in your congregation. This keeps the effort sustainable instead of burning everyone out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Use Online Tools to Answer Questions\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Many people today search online before they ever walk into a building. A strong resource like TrueLife.org gives your members a place to point friends who have tough questions about faith, science, or suffering. The site features videos and answers that stay biblical while speaking to modern doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Encourage your people to share specific links during regular conversations. A member might say, \"I was reading about that exact question the other day,\" then text the link. No debate needed in the moment. The site handles the heavy lifting.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Churches that embed short video clips on their own websites see visitors mention the content when they finally attend. It builds trust ahead of time. Pair this with the invitation cards so the card leads to the website and the website leads back to your services.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Host Low-Pressure Community Events\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Big productions can work, but smaller recurring events often produce steadier results. Consider a free movie night in the parking lot once a month. Families bring blankets and snacks. The church provides the screen and a short welcome that mentions upcoming Sunday services.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Another idea is a simple sports clinic for kids. Volunteer coaches from the church teach basic skills and end each session with a short character story from the Bible. Parents appreciate the free activity and start to see the church as a safe place.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ecclesiastes 3:1 tells us there is a time for every activity under heaven. These events create the time and space for relationships to form naturally. Keep the ask small: just come, enjoy, and consider visiting on Sunday if you want to hear more.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Follow up with anyone who gives contact info by sending a handwritten note within two days. Mention something specific you noticed about their family or conversation. That personal touch stands out in a digital world.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Equip Members With Simple Training and Tools\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Most church members want to reach others but freeze when the moment arrives. Provide short conversation guides that fit in a wallet. One guide walks through four common situations: when someone hands you something first, when talking to a stranger, when meeting another Christian, and when someone says no.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Each response stays short and kind. The goal is confidence, not perfection. Pastors who hand these out along with the invitation cards see consistent use because the words feel natural and repeatable.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Acts 1:8 promises power to be witnesses. Training removes the fear that blocks that power. Start with a single Sunday school class that practices the phrases out loud. Then send everyone out the next week with cards in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Track stories at the end of each month. Celebrate the quiet wins like the member who invited a coworker for the first time. Those testimonies encourage the rest of the church to try.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Build Follow-Up That Actually Happens\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Outreach falls apart without a clear next step after the first contact. Assign every new name to a specific person within twenty-four hours. That person makes a short call or sends a text offering to meet for coffee or answer questions about the church.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Keep the system simple. A shared spreadsheet or church app works better than complicated software no one uses. The goal is speed and personal connection, not data perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hebrews 10:24-25 urges us to spur one another on and not give up meeting together. Follow-up keeps that encouragement flowing to new people. When a visitor returns the second or third time, assign them a regular attender as a friend for the first six months.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Review your follow-up process every quarter. Ask what worked and what felt forced. Adjust based on real feedback instead of assumptions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If you're a pastor wanting to equip your whole church with invitation cards, conversation guides, and online resources that make outreach feel doable, head over to \u003Ca href=\"truelife.org\u002Fpastors\">TrueLife.org\u002FPastors\u003C\u002Fa> and watch the video on that page. Church members can send the same link to their pastor and grab the free card option from the menu bar while they wait.

El servicio del domingo termina y te preguntas cómo conseguir que más personas crucen las puertas que realmente necesitan lo que tu iglesia ofrece. El alcance no se trata de eventos llamativos ni de tácticas de presión. Se trata de presentarse con un cuidado genuino y ofrecer a la gente un siguiente paso sencillo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jesús nos dijo que fuéramos y hiciéramos discípulos, y eso comienza con conexiones simples. A lo largo de los años he visto crecer a iglesias pequeñas porque probaron un puñado de ideas consistentes en lugar de perseguir cada nueva tendencia. Estas ideas de alcance de la iglesia se centran en la vida real, no en la teoría.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Veamos enfoques prácticos que se adaptan a diferentes personalidades y tamaños de iglesia. Ya seas un pastor que busca equipar a su gente o un miembro que quiere ayudar, estos pasos mantienen las cosas naturales y repetibles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Comienza con invitaciones personales que se sientan normales\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>La mayoría de las personas siguen viniendo a la iglesia porque alguien que conocen las invitó. La clave es eliminar la incomodidad. Una iglesia que conozco reparte tarjetas de invitación simples cada semana. Los miembros toman cinco antes de irse y las guardan en la billetera o el bolso.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Las tarjetas llevan el logo de la iglesia en el frente y un mensaje corto en el reverso que dice algo como: \"Un sitio web que demuestra que Jesús te ama\". Esa frase les da a las personas una forma fácil de entregarla sin un discurso largo. Si la persona ya va a otra iglesia, la tarjeta sugiere mostrársela a su pastor para su propio alcance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La Escritura respalda esto en Colosenses 4:5-6, donde Pablo dice que seamos sabios en cómo actuamos hacia los de afuera y que nuestra conversación esté llena de gracia. La tarjeta se convierte en el iniciador de la conversación para que nadie tenga que sentirse como un vendedor. Los pastores que usan este sistema reportan que los miembros comienzan a invitar dentro de la primera semana en lugar de esperar las palabras perfectas.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Prueba esto el domingo: coloca las tarjetas en cada silla durante la preparación. Cierra el servicio con una oración de treinta segundos donde todos sostengan una. Ese ritmo simple construye el hábito rápidamente.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Sirve a tu vecindario de formas visibles\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>El alcance gana tracción cuando la comunidad ve a la iglesia ayudar sin condiciones. Una congregación comenzó una limpieza mensual del vecindario. Proporcionaron guantes y bolsas, luego ofrecieron café y donas gratis después. No se requiere sermón en el evento mismo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Otro grupo se asoció con una escuela local para abastecer un armario de suministros para maestros. Los miembros dejaron artículos durante la semana y la iglesia los entregó todos a la vez. Los maestros comenzaron a hacer preguntas sobre la iglesia porque notaron la ayuda constante.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Romanos 12:13 nos recuerda compartir con el pueblo de Dios que está en necesidad y practicar la hospitalidad. Estos actos abren puertas para conversaciones posteriores. Mantén el enfoque en satisfacer necesidades reales primero. La gente recuerda quién se presentó cuando se fue la luz o cuando los niños necesitaban mochilas para el nuevo año escolar.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Registra lo que tu área realmente necesita. Camina por las calles alrededor de tu edificio y nota las brechas. Luego combina una o dos necesidades con habilidades que ya existen en tu congregación. Esto mantiene el esfuerzo sostenible en lugar de agotar a todos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Usa herramientas en línea para responder preguntas\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Muchas personas hoy buscan en línea antes de entrar a un edificio. Un recurso sólido como TrueLife.org les da a tus miembros un lugar para dirigir a amigos que tienen preguntas difíciles sobre la fe, la ciencia o el sufrimiento. El sitio presenta videos y respuestas que se mantienen bíblicas mientras hablan de las dudas modernas.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Anima a tu gente a compartir enlaces específicos durante conversaciones regulares. Un miembro podría decir: \"Estaba leyendo sobre esa pregunta exacta el otro día\", y luego enviar el enlace por mensaje de texto. No se necesita debate en el momento. El sitio se encarga del trabajo pesado.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Las iglesias que incrustan clips de video cortos en sus propios sitios web ven que los visitantes mencionan el contenido cuando finalmente asisten. Construye confianza con anticipación. Combina esto con las tarjetas de invitación para que la tarjeta lleve al sitio web y el sitio web lleve de vuelta a tus servicios.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Organiza eventos comunitarios de baja presión\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Las grandes producciones pueden funcionar, pero los eventos recurrentes más pequeños a menudo producen resultados más estables. Considera una noche de cine gratis en el estacionamiento una vez al mes. Las familias traen mantas y bocadillos. La iglesia proporciona la pantalla y una breve bienvenida que menciona los servicios del próximo domingo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Otra idea es una clínica deportiva simple para niños. Entrenadores voluntarios de la iglesia enseñan habilidades básicas y terminan cada sesión con una historia corta de carácter de la Biblia. Los padres aprecian la actividad gratuita y comienzan a ver a la iglesia como un lugar seguro.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Eclesiastés 3:1 nos dice que hay un tiempo para cada actividad bajo el cielo. Estos eventos crean el tiempo y el espacio para que las relaciones se formen naturalmente. Mantén la petición pequeña: solo ven, disfruta y considera visitar el domingo si quieres escuchar más.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Da seguimiento a cualquiera que proporcione información de contacto enviando una nota escrita a mano dentro de dos días. Menciona algo específico que notaste sobre su familia o conversación. Ese toque personal destaca en un mundo digital.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Equipa a los miembros con capacitación y herramientas simples\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>La mayoría de los miembros de la iglesia quieren alcanzar a otros pero se congelan cuando llega el momento. Proporciona guías de conversación cortas que quepan en una billetera. Una guía recorre cuatro situaciones comunes: cuando alguien te entrega algo primero, cuando hablas con un extraño, cuando conoces a otro cristiano y cuando alguien dice que no.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cada respuesta se mantiene corta y amable. El objetivo es la confianza, no la perfección. Los pastores que las reparten junto con las tarjetas de invitación ven un uso consistente porque las palabras se sienten naturales y repetibles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hechos 1:8 promete poder para ser testigos. La capacitación elimina el miedo que bloquea ese poder. Comienza con una sola clase de escuela dominical que practique las frases en voz alta. Luego envía a todos la próxima semana con tarjetas en mano.\u003C\u002Fp>Haz un seguimiento de las historias al final de cada mes. Celebra las victorias silenciosas, como el miembro que invitó a un compañero de trabajo por primera vez. Esos testimonios animan al resto de la iglesia a intentarlo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Construye un seguimiento que realmente ocurra\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>El alcance se desmorona sin un siguiente paso claro después del primer contacto. Asigna cada nombre nuevo a una persona específica dentro de las veinticuatro horas. Esa persona hace una llamada corta o envía un mensaje de texto ofreciéndose a quedar para un café o responder preguntas sobre la iglesia.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mantén el sistema simple. Una hoja de cálculo compartida o una aplicación de la iglesia funciona mejor que un software complicado que nadie usa. El objetivo es la rapidez y la conexión personal, no la perfección de los datos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hebreos 10:24-25 nos insta a estimularnos unos a otros y a no dejar de reunirnos. El seguimiento mantiene ese ánimo fluyendo hacia las personas nuevas. Cuando un visitante regresa por segunda o tercera vez, asígnale a un asistente habitual como amigo durante los primeros seis meses.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Revisa tu proceso de seguimiento cada trimestre.

Le service du dimanche se termine, et vous vous demandez comment faire entrer plus de personnes qui ont vraiment besoin de ce que votre église propose. L'évangélisation ne consiste pas à organiser des événements tape-à-l'œil ou à exercer des pressions. Il s'agit de se montrer avec un véritable souci et d'offrir aux gens une prochaine étape facile.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jésus nous a dit d'aller faire des disciples, et cela commence par des liens simples. Au fil des ans, j'ai vu de petites églises grandir parce qu'elles ont essayé une poignée d'idées cohérentes au lieu de courir après chaque nouvelle tendance. Ces idées d'évangélisation pour les églises se concentrent sur la vie réelle, pas sur la théorie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Parcourons ensemble des approches pratiques qui conviennent à différentes personnalités et tailles d'églises. Que vous soyez un pasteur cherchant à équiper votre peuple ou un membre qui veut aider, ces étapes restent naturelles et reproductibles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Commencez par des invitations personnelles qui paraissent normales\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>La plupart des gens viennent encore à l'église parce que quelqu'un qu'ils connaissent les a invités. La clé est de supprimer le malaise. Une église que je connais distribue de simples cartes d'invitation chaque semaine. Les membres en prennent cinq avant de partir et les gardent dans un portefeuille ou un sac à main.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les cartes portent le logo de l'église au recto et un court message au verso qui dit quelque chose comme : « Un site web qui prouve que Jésus vous aime. » Cette phrase donne aux gens un moyen facile de la remettre sans long discours. Si la personne fréquente déjà une autre église, la carte suggère de la montrer à leur pasteur pour leur propre évangélisation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>L'Écriture le confirme dans Colossiens 4:5-6 où Paul dit d'agir avec sagesse envers les étrangers et que votre conversation soit pleine de grâce. La carte devient le point de départ de la conversation, donc personne n'a l'impression d'être un vendeur. Les pasteurs qui utilisent ce système rapportent que les membres commencent à inviter dès la première semaine au lieu d'attendre les mots parfaits.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Essayez ceci le dimanche : placez les cartes sur chaque chaise pendant l'installation. Terminez le service par une prière de trente secondes où chacun en tient une. Ce rythme simple construit l'habitude rapidement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Servez votre quartier de manière visible\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>L'évangélisation prend de l'ampleur lorsque la communauté voit l'église aider sans conditions. Une congrégation a commencé un nettoyage mensuel du quartier. Ils ont fourni des gants et des sacs, puis offert du café et des beignets gratuits après. Aucun sermon n'était requis lors de l'événement lui-même.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Un autre groupe s'est associé à une école locale pour approvisionner un placard de fournitures pour enseignants. Les membres ont déposé des articles pendant la semaine et l'église a tout livré en une seule fois. Les enseignants ont commencé à poser des questions sur l'église parce qu'ils remarquaient l'aide constante.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Romains 12:13 nous rappelle de partager avec le peuple de Dieu qui est dans le besoin et de pratiquer l'hospitalité. Ces actes ouvrent la porte à des conversations ultérieures. Gardez l'accent sur la satisfaction des vrais besoins d'abord. Les gens se souviennent de qui s'est montré quand le courant a été coupé ou quand les enfants avaient besoin de sacs à dos pour la nouvelle année scolaire.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Suivez ce dont votre région a réellement besoin. Promenez-vous dans les rues autour de votre bâtiment et remarquez les lacunes. Associez ensuite un ou deux besoins aux compétences déjà présentes dans votre congrégation. Cela rend l'effort durable au lieu d'épuiser tout le monde.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Utilisez des outils en ligne pour répondre aux questions\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Beaucoup de gens cherchent en ligne avant de franchir le seuil d'un bâtiment. Une ressource solide comme TrueLife.org donne à vos membres un endroit où orienter des amis qui ont des questions difficiles sur la foi, la science ou la souffrance. Le site propose des vidéos et des réponses qui restent bibliques tout en parlant aux doutes modernes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Encouragez vos gens à partager des liens spécifiques lors de conversations ordinaires. Un membre pourrait dire : « Je lisais justement sur cette question l'autre jour », puis envoyer le lien par texto. Aucun débat n'est nécessaire sur le moment. Le site s'occupe du gros du travail.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les églises qui intègrent de courts extraits vidéo sur leurs propres sites Web voient des visiteurs mentionner le contenu lorsqu'ils assistent enfin. Cela crée de la confiance à l'avance. Associez cela aux cartes d'invitation afin que la carte mène au site Web et que le site Web ramène aux services.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Organisez des événements communautaires sans pression\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Les grandes productions peuvent fonctionner, mais des événements récurrents plus petits produisent souvent des résultats plus réguliers. Envisagez une soirée cinéma gratuite dans le stationnement une fois par mois. Les familles apportent des couvertures et des collations. L'église fournit l'écran et un court mot de bienvenue qui mentionne les services du dimanche à venir.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Une autre idée est une clinique sportive simple pour les enfants. Des entraîneurs bénévoles de l'église enseignent les compétences de base et terminent chaque séance par une courte histoire de caractère tirée de la Bible. Les parents apprécient l'activité gratuite et commencent à voir l'église comme un endroit sûr.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ecclésiaste 3:1 nous dit qu'il y a un temps pour chaque activité sous le ciel. Ces événements créent le temps et l'espace pour que des relations se forment naturellement. Gardez la demande petite : venez simplement, profitez-en et envisagez de visiter le dimanche si vous voulez en savoir plus.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Suivez toute personne qui donne ses coordonnées en envoyant une note manuscrite dans les deux jours. Mentionnez quelque chose de spécifique que vous avez remarqué à propos de leur famille ou de la conversation. Cette touche personnelle se démarque dans un monde numérique.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Équipez les membres avec une formation et des outils simples\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>La plupart des membres d'église veulent atteindre les autres mais se figent quand le moment arrive. Fournissez des guides de conversation courts qui tiennent dans un portefeuille. Un guide passe en revue quatre situations courantes : quand quelqu'un vous tend quelque chose en premier, quand vous parlez à un étranger, quand vous rencontrez un autre chrétien, et quand quelqu'un dit non.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Chaque réponse reste courte et bienveillante. L'objectif est la confiance, pas la perfection. Les pasteurs qui les distribuent avec les cartes d'invitation constatent une utilisation constante parce que les mots paraissent naturels et reproductibles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Actes 1:8 promet la puissance pour être des témoins. La formation élimine la peur qui bloque cette puissance. Commencez par une seule classe d'école du dimanche qui pratique les phrases à voix haute. Puis envoyez tout le monde la semaine suivante avec des cartes en main.\u003C\u002Fp>Suivez les histoires à la fin de chaque mois. Célébrez les victoires discrètes comme le membre qui a invité un collègue pour la première fois. Ces témoignages encouragent le reste de l'église à essayer.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Construire un suivi qui se concrétise vraiment\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>L'évangélisation s'effondre sans une étape suivante claire après le premier contact. Attribuez chaque nouveau nom à une personne spécifique dans les vingt-quatre heures. Cette personne passe un court appel ou envoie un texto proposant de se rencontrer pour un café ou de répondre aux questions sur l'église.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gardez le système simple. Un tableur partagé ou une application d'église fonctionne mieux que des logiciels compliqués que personne n'utilise. L'objectif est la rapidité et la connexion personnelle, pas la perfection des données.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hébreux 10:24-25 nous exhorte à nous stimuler les uns les autres et à ne pas abandonner nos rassemblements. Le suivi permet à cet encouragement d'atteindre les nouvelles personnes. Lorsqu'un visiteur revient une deuxième ou troisième fois, attribuez-lui un membre régulier comme ami pour les six premiers mois.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Examinez votre processus de suivi chaque trimestre. Demandez ce qui a fonctionné et ce qui semblait forcé. Ajustez en fonction des retours réels plutôt que des suppositions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Si vous êtes pasteur et souhaitez équiper toute votre église avec des cartes d'invitation, des guides de conversation et des ressources en ligne qui rendent l'évangélisation accessible, rendez-vous sur \u003Ca href=\"truelife.org\u002Fpastors\">TrueLife.org\u002FPastors\u003C\u002Fa> et regardez la vidéo sur cette page.

Sunday morning comes, the sermon lands, and something inside you wants to tell someone about it. But then Monday hits, work piles up, and the moment slips away. That's where outreach churches step in. They don't just talk about reaching people. They give ordinary folks like you and me practical ways to do it without turning every conversation into a sales pitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Church plays a bigger role than most of us realize. It anchors us when life gets messy, gives us people who pray for us, and reminds us we're not alone in following Jesus. Yet the real power shows up when a church trains its members to carry that hope outside the building. Outreach churches focus on exactly that: equipping regular attenders to invite neighbors, coworkers, and even strangers in ways that feel natural instead of forced.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I've watched this play out in small congregations and big ones alike. The churches that grow aren't always the ones with the flashiest programs. They're the ones whose people feel confident handing someone a card or saying a simple sentence that points back to Sunday morning. That confidence changes everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Why Outreach Churches Matter More Than Ever\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Think about the people you see every week at the coffee shop or the gym. Many of them carry quiet questions about God but don't know where to take them. An outreach church notices those people and gives its members tools to bridge the gap. It turns the church from a closed circle into an open door.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Scripture keeps bringing us back to this. Jesus told his followers in Matthew 28:19 to go and make disciples of all nations. That command wasn't just for the original twelve. It lands on every believer today. Outreach churches take that verse seriously by removing the barriers that keep most Christians from acting on it. Fear of rejection, not knowing what to say, and worry about hard questions all get addressed with simple systems.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When a church gets serious about outreach, everything else starts to shift. Giving increases because people see lives changing. Volunteers step up because they feel part of something bigger. Even the atmosphere on Sunday feels different when new faces keep showing up. The church stops being a place you attend and becomes a family you help grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Biblical Patterns That Still Work Today\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Look at the early church in Acts. After Pentecost, the believers didn't stay huddled in one room. They went house to house, shared meals, and kept adding to their number daily. Peter and John healed a lame man at the temple gate and used that moment to preach. Outreach churches follow the same pattern: they meet people where they already are instead of waiting for them to walk through the doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Paul's letters show the same heart. He told the Colossians to let their conversation be full of grace, seasoned with salt. That means real talk, not scripted lines. Modern outreach churches train members to say short, natural sentences like, “I wanted to give you this. It's an invitation to my church and a website that proves Jesus loves you.” The words aren't fancy, but they open the door without pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jesus himself modeled this in John 4 with the woman at the well. One conversation turned into an entire village coming to faith. Outreach churches don't expect every invitation to produce instant results. They simply keep planting seeds and trust God with the harvest. That long view keeps members from getting discouraged when someone says no.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Simple Tools That Remove the Fear\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Most believers want to invite people but freeze when the moment comes. That's why outreach churches often use custom invitation cards. The front carries the church logo and service times. The back gives clear, friendly language that takes the guesswork out of the conversation. Members carry five cards in their wallet or purse every single week.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pastors place the cards on chairs before service or stack them near the doors. After the message, everyone holds one during a short closing prayer. That thirty-second habit turns a good intention into a weekly rhythm. Over time, it becomes second nature. One church reported going through fifteen thousand cards because their people actually used them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conversation guides help too. They give four short scripts for different situations: when someone hands you something first, when you approach a stranger, when you meet another Christian, and when someone says no. These aren't scripts to memorize word for word. They're guardrails that keep the moment friendly and brief. Teens especially benefit. Many youth groups have seen quiet students start handing out cards once they have the words ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Real Churches Seeing Steady Growth\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Pastor Ron Wilcoxson at First Baptist Church of Blytheville tried every evangelism program out there. Evangelism Explosion, the Roman Road, The Three Circles. None of them stuck like the simple card system. His people began inviting within the first week and kept going because the method felt doable long-term.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Another pastor, Bruce Speer of CrossPoint Church in Missoula, noticed that every church problem eventually traces back to a lack of new people. Financial strain, volunteer shortages, even low morale all improve when outreach becomes normal. His church started seeing visitors regularly once members stopped carrying the weight of the entire conversation themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Youth pastors tell similar stories. Kids who once avoided any mention of church now feel comfortable because the card gives them an easy exit if the talk gets awkward. The same cards help adults who have never invited anyone before. One member said plainly, “I never invited people to church until I had this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>How to Get Your Own Church Moving\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>If you're a pastor reading this, the first step is simple.

Llega el domingo por la mañana, el sermón impacta y algo dentro de ti quiere contárselo a alguien. Pero llega el lunes, se acumula el trabajo y el momento se escapa. Ahí es donde entran las iglesias de alcance. No solo hablan de alcanzar a las personas. Dan a gente común como tú y como yo formas prácticas de hacerlo sin convertir cada conversación en una venta.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La iglesia desempeña un papel más grande de lo que la mayoría de nosotros imaginamos. Nos sostiene cuando la vida se complica, nos da personas que oran por nosotros y nos recuerda que no estamos solos al seguir a Jesús. Sin embargo, el verdadero poder aparece cuando una iglesia capacita a sus miembros para llevar esa esperanza fuera del edificio. Las iglesias de alcance se centran exactamente en eso: equipar a los asistentes habituales para invitar a vecinos, compañeros de trabajo e incluso desconocidos de formas que se sienten naturales en lugar de forzadas.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He visto esto en congregaciones pequeñas y grandes por igual. Las iglesias que crecen no siempre son las que tienen los programas más llamativos. Son aquellas cuyos miembros se sienten seguros de entregar una tarjeta o decir una frase sencilla que apunta de vuelta al domingo por la mañana. Esa seguridad lo cambia todo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Por qué las iglesias de alcance importan más que nunca\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Piensa en las personas que ves cada semana en la cafetería o en el gimnasio. Muchas de ellas llevan preguntas silenciosas sobre Dios pero no saben dónde llevarlas. Una iglesia de alcance nota a esas personas y da a sus miembros herramientas para salvar la distancia. Convierte la iglesia de un círculo cerrado en una puerta abierta.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La Escritura nos lleva constantemente a esto. Jesús dijo a sus seguidores en Mateo 28:19 que fueran y hicieran discípulos de todas las naciones. Ese mandato no era solo para los doce originales. Llega a cada creyente hoy. Las iglesias de alcance toman ese versículo en serio eliminando las barreras que impiden a la mayoría de los cristianos actuar. El miedo al rechazo, no saber qué decir y la preocupación por las preguntas difíciles se abordan con sistemas sencillos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cuando una iglesia se toma en serio el alcance, todo lo demás empieza a cambiar. Las ofrendas aumentan porque la gente ve vidas transformadas. Los voluntarios se suman porque se sienten parte de algo más grande. Incluso el ambiente del domingo se siente diferente cuando siguen llegando caras nuevas. La iglesia deja de ser un lugar al que asistes y se convierte en una familia que ayudas a crecer.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Patrones bíblicos que siguen funcionando hoy\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Mira la iglesia primitiva en Hechos. Después de Pentecostés, los creyentes no se quedaron encerrados en una habitación. Fueron de casa en casa, compartieron comidas y siguieron sumando personas cada día. Pedro y Juan sanaron a un cojo en la puerta del templo y usaron ese momento para predicar. Las iglesias de alcance siguen el mismo patrón: encuentran a las personas donde ya están en lugar de esperar a que crucen las puertas.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Las cartas de Pablo muestran el mismo corazón. Dijo a los colosenses que su conversación estuviera llena de gracia, sazonada con sal. Eso significa hablar de verdad, no con frases ensayadas. Las iglesias de alcance modernas capacitan a sus miembros para decir frases cortas y naturales como: “Quería darte esto. Es una invitación a mi iglesia y un sitio web que demuestra que Jesús te ama”. Las palabras no son elegantes, pero abren la puerta sin presión.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El mismo Jesús lo modeló en Juan 4 con la mujer del pozo. Una conversación se convirtió en todo un pueblo que llegó a la fe. Las iglesias de alcance no esperan que cada invitación produzca resultados instantáneos. Simplemente siguen sembrando y confían en Dios para la cosecha. Esa visión a largo plazo evita que los miembros se desanimen cuando alguien dice que no.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Herramientas sencillas que eliminan el miedo\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>La mayoría de los creyentes quieren invitar a personas, pero se paralizan cuando llega el momento. Por eso las iglesias de alcance suelen usar tarjetas de invitación personalizadas. El frente lleva el logo de la iglesia y los horarios de los servicios. El reverso ofrece un lenguaje claro y amigable que quita la incertidumbre de la conversación. Los miembros llevan cinco tarjetas en la billetera o el bolso cada semana.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Los pastores colocan las tarjetas en las sillas antes del servicio o las apilan cerca de las puertas. Después del mensaje, todos sostienen una durante una breve oración final. Ese hábito de treinta segundos convierte una buena intención en un ritmo semanal. Con el tiempo, se vuelve natural. Una iglesia informó que usó quince mil tarjetas porque su gente realmente las utilizó.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Las guías de conversación también ayudan. Ofrecen cuatro guiones cortos para diferentes situaciones: cuando alguien te da algo primero, cuando te acercas a un desconocido, cuando conoces a otro cristiano y cuando alguien dice que no. No son guiones para memorizar palabra por palabra. Son barandillas que mantienen el momento amigable y breve. Los adolescentes se benefician especialmente. Muchos grupos juveniles han visto a estudiantes callados empezar a repartir tarjetas una vez que tienen las palabras listas.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Iglesias reales que experimentan un crecimiento constante\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>El pastor Ron Wilcoxson en la Primera Iglesia Bautista de Blytheville probó todos los programas de evangelismo que existían. Evangelism Explosion, el Camino Romano, Los Tres Círculos. Ninguno se mantuvo como el sistema sencillo de tarjetas. Su gente empezó a invitar desde la primera semana y siguió haciéndolo porque el método se sentía viable a largo plazo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Otro pastor, Bruce Speer de CrossPoint Church en Missoula, notó que todo problema de la iglesia termina por rastrearse a la falta de gente nueva. Las tensiones financieras, la escasez de voluntarios e incluso la baja moral mejoran cuando el alcance se vuelve normal. Su iglesia empezó a ver visitantes con regularidad una vez que los miembros dejaron de cargar el peso de toda la conversación ellos solos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Los pastores juveniles cuentan historias similares. Los jóvenes que antes evitaban cualquier mención de la iglesia ahora se sienten cómodos porque la tarjeta les da una salida fácil si la conversación se pone incómoda. Las mismas tarjetas ayudan a adultos que nunca habían invitado a nadie antes. Un miembro dijo claramente: “Nunca invité a nadie a la iglesia hasta que tuve esto”.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Cómo poner en marcha tu propia iglesia\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Si eres pastor y estás leyendo esto, el primer paso es sencillo.

TrueLife.org también ofrece tarjetas gratuitas a través de la barra de menú una vez que tu iglesia se une. El sitio mismo responde preguntas difíciles que la gente hace, para que los visitantes puedan explorar en línea antes de entrar. Eso reduce la presión para todos los involucrados.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Los correos semanales de coaching mantienen el impulso. Los pastores reciben ideas para sermones, aliento y formas frescas de recordar a su gente sobre las tarjetas. El objetivo no es un impulso único. Es construir una cultura donde invitar se vuelva tan normal como asistir el domingo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Las iglesias de alcance no necesitan más programas. Necesitan miembros que se sientan equipados y entusiasmados. Cuando eso sucede, la iglesia deja de ser solo un edificio en la esquina y comienza a ser el lugar donde las personas encuentran a Jesús. Si tu iglesia aún no ha comenzado, ahora es un buen momento. Toma esas tarjetas, di las palabras simples y observa lo que Dios hace con la fidelidad ordinaria.\u003C\u002Fp>","Las iglesias de alcance nos muestran lo que sucede cuando la fe pasa de los bancos a la vida cotidiana, ayudando a las personas a conocer a Jesús a través de invitaciones simples y constantes.","Iglesias de Alcance que Realmente Cambian Vidas","Las iglesias de alcance ayudan a los creyentes a compartir su fe de forma natural e invitar a otros sin temor.

Le dimanche matin arrive, le sermon porte, et quelque chose en vous a envie d’en parler à quelqu’un. Mais le lundi arrive, le travail s’accumule, et le moment s’échappe. C’est là que les églises d’outreach interviennent. Elles ne se contentent pas de parler d’atteindre les gens. Elles offrent aux gens ordinaires comme vous et moi des moyens concrets de le faire sans transformer chaque conversation en argumentaire de vente.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>L’Église joue un rôle plus important que la plupart d’entre nous ne le réalisons. Elle nous ancre quand la vie devient chaotique, nous donne des personnes qui prient pour nous et nous rappelle que nous ne sommes pas seuls à suivre Jésus. Pourtant, le vrai pouvoir apparaît quand une église forme ses membres à porter cet espoir hors du bâtiment. Les églises d’outreach se concentrent exactement sur cela : équiper les fidèles réguliers pour inviter leurs voisins, collègues et même des inconnus de manière naturelle plutôt que forcée.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>J’ai vu cela se produire dans de petites congrégations comme dans de grandes. Les églises qui grandissent ne sont pas toujours celles qui ont les programmes les plus tape-à-l’œil. Ce sont celles dont les membres se sentent confiants pour tendre une carte à quelqu’un ou prononcer une simple phrase qui renvoie au dimanche matin. Cette confiance change tout.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Pourquoi les églises d’outreach comptent plus que jamais\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Pensez aux personnes que vous voyez chaque semaine au café ou à la salle de sport. Beaucoup d’entre elles portent des questions silencieuses sur Dieu mais ne savent pas où les porter. Une église d’outreach remarque ces personnes et donne à ses membres des outils pour combler le fossé. Elle transforme l’église d’un cercle fermé en une porte ouverte.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>L’Écriture nous ramène sans cesse à cela. Jésus a dit à ses disciples dans Matthieu 28:19 d’aller et de faire des disciples de toutes les nations. Cet ordre ne s’adressait pas seulement aux douze premiers. Il s’applique à chaque croyant aujourd’hui. Les églises d’outreach prennent ce verset au sérieux en supprimant les barrières qui empêchent la plupart des chrétiens d’agir. La peur du rejet, le fait de ne pas savoir quoi dire et l’inquiétude face aux questions difficiles sont tous abordés avec des systèmes simples.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Quand une église s’engage sérieusement dans l’outreach, tout le reste commence à changer. Les dons augmentent parce que les gens voient des vies se transformer. Les bénévoles s’impliquent parce qu’ils se sentent partie prenante de quelque chose de plus grand. Même l’atmosphère du dimanche devient différente quand de nouveaux visages continuent d’arriver. L’église cesse d’être un lieu où l’on assiste pour devenir une famille que l’on aide à grandir.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Les modèles bibliques qui fonctionnent encore aujourd’hui\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Regardez l’Église primitive dans les Actes. Après la Pentecôte, les croyants ne sont pas restés regroupés dans une seule pièce. Ils sont allés de maison en maison, ont partagé des repas et ont continué à s’ajouter chaque jour à leur nombre. Pierre et Jean ont guéri un boiteux à la porte du temple et ont utilisé ce moment pour prêcher. Les églises d’outreach suivent le même modèle : elles rencontrent les gens là où ils sont déjà au lieu d’attendre qu’ils franchissent les portes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les lettres de Paul montrent le même cœur. Il a dit aux Colossiens que leur conversation soit pleine de grâce, assaisonnée de sel. Cela signifie des échanges authentiques, pas des phrases toutes faites. Les églises d’outreach modernes forment leurs membres à dire de courtes phrases naturelles comme : « Je voulais te donner ceci. C’est une invitation à mon église et un site web qui prouve que Jésus t’aime. » Les mots ne sont pas sophistiqués, mais ils ouvrent la porte sans pression.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jésus lui-même a modélisé cela dans Jean 4 avec la femme au puits. Une conversation s’est transformée en un village entier venant à la foi. Les églises d’outreach n’attendent pas que chaque invitation produise des résultats immédiats. Elles se contentent de continuer à semer et font confiance à Dieu pour la moisson. Cette perspective à long terme empêche les membres de se décourager quand quelqu’un dit non.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Des outils simples qui éliminent la peur\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>La plupart des croyants veulent inviter des gens mais se figent quand le moment arrive. C’est pourquoi les églises d’outreach utilisent souvent des cartes d’invitation personnalisées. Le recto porte le logo de l’église et les horaires des services. Le verso fournit un langage clair et amical qui élimine l’incertitude de la conversation. Les membres portent cinq cartes dans leur portefeuille ou leur sac à main chaque semaine.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les pasteurs placent les cartes sur les chaises avant le service ou les empilent près des portes. Après le message, tout le monde en tient une pendant une courte prière de clôture. Cette habitude de trente secondes transforme une bonne intention en un rythme hebdomadaire. Avec le temps, cela devient naturel. Une église a rapporté avoir distribué quinze mille cartes parce que ses membres les utilisaient vraiment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les guides de conversation aident aussi. Ils fournissent quatre courts scripts pour différentes situations : quand quelqu’un vous tend quelque chose en premier, quand vous abordez un inconnu, quand vous rencontrez un autre chrétien, et quand quelqu’un dit non. Ce ne sont pas des scripts à mémoriser mot pour mot. Ce sont des garde-fous qui gardent le moment amical et bref. Les adolescents en bénéficient particulièrement. De nombreux groupes de jeunes ont vu des étudiants discrets commencer à distribuer des cartes une fois qu’ils ont les mots prêts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>De vraies églises qui connaissent une croissance régulière\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Le pasteur Ron Wilcoxson à la First Baptist Church of Blytheville a essayé tous les programmes d’évangélisation existants. Evangelism Explosion, le Chemin Romain, Les Trois Cercles. Aucun n’a pris comme le système simple des cartes. Ses membres ont commencé à inviter dès la première semaine et ont continué parce que la méthode semblait réalisable à long terme.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Un autre pasteur, Bruce Speer de CrossPoint Church à Missoula, a remarqué que chaque problème d’église finit par remonter à un manque de nouvelles personnes. Les tensions financières, les pénuries de bénévoles, même le moral bas s’améliorent quand l’outreach devient normal. Son église a commencé à voir des visiteurs régulièrement une fois que les membres ont cessé de porter le poids de toute la conversation eux-mêmes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les pasteurs de jeunesse racontent des histoires similaires. Les jeunes qui évitaient autrefois toute mention de l’église se sentent maintenant à l’aise parce que la carte leur offre une sortie facile si la discussion devient gênante. Les mêmes cartes aident les adultes qui n’ont jamais invité personne auparavant. Un membre a dit simplement : « Je n’invitais jamais de gens à l’église jusqu’à ce que j’aie ceci. »\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Comment mettre votre propre église en mouvement\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Si vous êtes un pasteur qui lit ceci, la première étape est simple.

Evangelism Explosion, 로마의 길, The Three Circles 등. 하지만 단순한 카드 시스템만큼 지속된 것은 없었습니다. 그의 성도들은 첫 주부터 초대하기 시작했고, 이 방법이 장기적으로 실천 가능하다는 것을 느꼈기 때문에 계속 이어갔습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Missoula CrossPoint Church의 Bruce Speer 목사님은 모든 교회 문제가 결국 새로 오는 사람의 부족에서 비롯된다는 것을 깨달았습니다. 재정 압박, 봉사자 부족, 심지어 사기 저하까지도 아웃리치가 일상이 되면 개선됩니다. 그의 교회는 성도들이 대화의 전부를 혼자 감당하지 않게 되면서 방문자들이 정기적으로 찾아오기 시작했습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>청소년 사역자들도 비슷한 이야기를 합니다. 한때 교회 이야기를 피하던 아이들이 카드가 있으면 편안해합니다. 대화가 어색해지면 쉽게 빠져나갈 수 있기 때문입니다. 같은 카드는 한 번도 사람을 초대해 본 적 없는 어른들에게도 도움이 됩니다. 한 성도는 이렇게 말했습니다. “이 카드가 없었으면 교회에 초대한 적이 없었을 거예요.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>당신의 교회를 움직이게 하는 방법\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>이 글을 읽고 계신 목사님이시라면, 첫 번째 단계는 간단합니다. \u003Ca href=\"truelife.org\u002Fpastors\">TrueLife.org\u002FPastors\u003C\u002Fa>그 페이지의 짧은 영상을 시청해 보세요. 이 시스템이 기존 사역에 어떻게 자연스럽게 통합되는지, 설교를 바꾸거나 추가 모임을 만들지 않고도 어떻게 적용되는지 정확히 보여줍니다. 많은 목사님들이 자신의 교회 규모와 지역 사회에 맞는 방식을 확인하기 위해 무료 상담을 예약합니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>교회 성도라면 같은 링크를 목사님께 보내주세요. TrueLife.org는 교회가 가입하면 메뉴 바를 통해 무료 카드도 제공합니다. 사이트 자체가 사람들이 자주 묻는 어려운 질문에 답변하므로, 방문자들이 교회에 오기 전에 온라인으로 미리 탐색할 수 있습니다. 이는 모두에게 부담을 줄여줍니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>주간 코칭 이메일은 지속적인 동기부여를 제공합니다. 목사님들은 설교 아이디어, 격려, 그리고 성도들에게 카드를 상기시킬 수 있는 새로운 방법을 받게 됩니다. 목표는 일회성 캠페인이 아닙니다. 초대가 주일 출석만큼 자연스러운 문화로 자리 잡는 것입니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>전도 중심의 교회는 더 많은 프로그램이 필요한 것이 아닙니다. 성도들이 준비되고 열정을 느끼는 것이 필요합니다. 그렇게 될 때, 교회는 단순한 건물이 아니라 사람들이 예수님을 만나는 장소가 됩니다. 아직 시작하지 않았다면, 지금이 좋은 때입니다. 카드를 챙기고, 간단한 말을 전하며, 평범한 신실함으로 하나님이 어떻게 일하시는지 지켜보세요.\u003C\u002Fp>","아웃리치 교회들은 신앙이 교회 의자에서 일상생활로 옮겨가는 모습을 보여주며, 단순하고 일관된 초대를 통해 사람들이 예수님을 만나도록 돕습니다.","아웃리치 교회는 신자들이 자연스럽게 믿음을 나누고 두려움 없이 다른 사람들을 초대할 수 있도록 돕습니다. 간단한 도구와 성경적 단계가 어떻게 실제적인 공동체 영향을 만드는지 확인해 보세요.",{"id":421,"title":422,"content":423,"embed":18,"slug":424,"meta_title":425,"meta_description":426,"focus_keyword":427,"excerpt":428,"locale":323,"origin":324,"category_id":18,"image":429,"created_at":430,"updated_at":431,"date":430,"title_es":432,"content_es":433,"excerpt_es":434,"meta_title_es":435,"meta_description_es":436,"title_fr":437,"content_fr":438,"excerpt_fr":439,"meta_title_fr":440,"meta_description_fr":441,"title_ko":442,"content_ko":443,"excerpt_ko":444,"meta_title_ko":445,"meta_description_ko":446},145,"Community Outreach Ideas That Help Churches Grow","\u003Cp>You want your church to matter in the neighborhood around you. People drive past every week, yet many feel disconnected or unsure where to turn when life gets hard. Outreach does not have to mean standing on a street corner with a megaphone. It starts with small, consistent steps that show love and point to Jesus.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The good news is that real growth comes when ordinary members feel equipped to invite others without awkward conversations. Scripture reminds us in Acts 1:8 that we are witnesses starting right where we live. When your people have simple tools and clear words to say, they actually follow through week after week.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One pastor told me his congregation had tried every training program out there. Evangelism Explosion, the Roman Road, even The Three Circles. Nothing stuck until they tried a low-pressure card system that gave everyone the same easy sentence to use. Attendance climbed because members finally felt confident handing something out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Why Everyday Members Need Simple Tools First\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Most churchgoers freeze when the word “evangelism” comes up. They picture rejection or long debates they cannot win. That fear keeps good people silent even though they care deeply about their neighbors. The solution is not more classes. It is giving them one clear action they can repeat without thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Place five invitation cards on every chair before service. At the end, spend thirty seconds praying over those cards together. People leave with something physical in their hands and a reason to use it. One church ordered fifteen thousand cards and ran out within months because members kept asking for more.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Youth groups especially benefit. Teens who once hid in the back now walk up to classmates after school and say, “I may never see you again, so I wanted to give you this. It’s an invitation to my church and a website that proves Jesus loves you.” The card does the heavy lifting. The teen just shows kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Romans 10:14 asks how people will hear without a preacher. In practice that preacher is often the person sitting in the next pew who finally has the right words ready. When fear drops, consistency rises.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Hosting Events That Feel Like Real Community\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Block parties, free car washes, and back-to-school supply giveaways still work when the goal stays simple. Set up a table with the cards and a QR code to TrueLife.org so visitors can explore answers to hard questions later at home. No one needs to pray a prayer on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One congregation in Montana started with monthly pancake breakfasts in the parking lot. Families came for the food, stayed for conversation, and many returned on Sunday because the invitation felt natural. The pastor noted that financial stress and volunteer shortages eased once new families joined and began serving.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Keep the event focused on connection instead of conversion. Matthew 5:16 says to let your light shine so others see your good works. A friendly face and a free card open the door for later conversations that the website can support when you are not around.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Track what works by asking new attenders how they heard about the church. You will quickly see which events turn into regular invitations and which ones need tweaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Partnering with Local Groups Without Losing Focus\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Partnering does not mean watering down the gospel. It means showing up where needs already exist. Food banks, after-school programs, and recovery meetings welcome extra hands. Bring your cards and a short, friendly line: “And I also wanted to give you this. It’s an invitation to my church and a website that proves Jesus loves you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ken Ham has pointed out that many people fear the questions they will get asked. When the card leads to TrueLife.org, those questions get answered by solid videos and articles instead of one nervous church member trying to remember everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Start small. Offer to help at one local event per quarter. Members who once stayed home on outreach days now show up because the task feels doable. Over time the church becomes known as the place that cares, not the place that pressures.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dr. Danny Akin has encouraged churches to use every available tool for both evangelism and discipleship. Partnerships multiply your reach while the cards keep pointing people back to your specific congregation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Training That Sticks Instead of Overwhelming\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Traditional evangelism classes often require weeks of homework and role-play that people dread. Replace that with weekly wallet cards that list four short scripts. The first covers when someone hands you something first. The second works for strangers. The third helps when the person is already a believer. The fourth handles a simple “no.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pastor Ron Wilcoxson of First Baptist Church of Blytheville said this approach is the easiest he has seen after trying multiple programs. Members began inviting within the first week and kept going because the system removed rejection fear and gave repeatable steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Include a short testimony challenge too. Each person records a two-minute story on their phone and receives a personal webpage that includes their video plus the church invitation. Catalog those stories so visitors can read several before deciding to attend.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Josh McDowell calls this kind of training both fun and comprehensive. When the tools fit in a wallet and the words fit in one breath, participation stays high long after the initial excitement fades.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Measuring Growth That Actually Matters\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Track more than Sunday attendance. Count how many cards get taken home each week and how many new visitors mention the website. Watch for members who start inviting without being asked. Those quiet shifts show the culture is changing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Financial pressures, volunteer shortages, and even anxiety in the congregation often ease when new people come in and find hope. Pastor Bruce Speer noted that every major church problem ultimately traces back to a lack of outreach. Growth solves problems both spiritually and practically.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Keep the focus on Jesus. The cards and events are simply bridges. TrueLife.org handles the deeper questions so your people can focus on the next friendly handoff.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If you lead a church, visit \u003Ca href=\"TrueLife.org\u002FPastors\">TrueLife.org\u002FPastors\u003C\u002Fa> and watch the short video on that page. It shows exactly how the system works in real congregations. If you are a member, send the same link to your pastor so your whole church can start using the free cards available on the menu bar.

Cada semana pasan personas en auto, pero muchas se sienten desconectadas o no saben a quién acudir cuando la vida se complica. El alcance no tiene que significar pararse en una esquina con un megáfono. Empieza con pasos pequeños y constantes que muestren amor y señalen a Jesús.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La buena noticia es que el crecimiento real llega cuando los miembros comunes se sienten equipados para invitar a otros sin conversaciones incómodas. La Escritura nos recuerda en Hechos 1:8 que somos testigos empezando justo donde vivimos. Cuando tu gente cuenta con herramientas sencillas y palabras claras para decir, realmente las ponen en práctica semana tras semana.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Un pastor me contó que su congregación había probado todos los programas de capacitación existentes. Evangelismo Explosivo, el Camino Romano, incluso Los Tres Círculos. Nada funcionó hasta que probaron un sistema de tarjetas de baja presión que daba a todos la misma frase fácil de usar. La asistencia creció porque los miembros finalmente se sentían seguros de entregar algo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Por qué los miembros comunes necesitan primero herramientas sencillas\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>La mayoría de los asistentes se paralizan cuando aparece la palabra “evangelismo”. Se imaginan rechazo o debates largos que no pueden ganar. Ese temor mantiene calladas a buenas personas aunque les importen profundamente sus vecinos. La solución no son más clases. Es darles una acción clara que puedan repetir sin pensar.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Coloca cinco tarjetas de invitación en cada silla antes del servicio. Al final, dedica treinta segundos a orar juntos por esas tarjetas. Las personas se van con algo físico en las manos y un motivo para usarlo. Una iglesia pidió quince mil tarjetas y se agotaron en meses porque los miembros seguían pidiendo más.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Los grupos juveniles se benefician especialmente. Los adolescentes que antes se escondían en la parte de atrás ahora se acercan a sus compañeros después de la escuela y dicen: “Puede que nunca vuelva a verte, así que quería darte esto. Es una invitación a mi iglesia y un sitio web que demuestra que Jesús te ama”. La tarjeta hace el trabajo pesado. El joven solo muestra amabilidad.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Romanos 10:14 pregunta cómo oirán sin que haya quien predique. En la práctica, ese predicador suele ser la persona sentada en el banco de al lado que finalmente tiene las palabras correctas listas. Cuando el miedo disminuye, la constancia aumenta.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Organizar eventos que se sientan como verdadera comunidad\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Las fiestas de barrio, los lavados de autos gratuitos y las entregas de útiles escolares siguen funcionando cuando el objetivo se mantiene simple. Coloca una mesa con las tarjetas y un código QR a TrueLife.org para que los visitantes puedan explorar respuestas a preguntas difíciles más tarde en casa. Nadie necesita orar una oración en el momento.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Una congregación en Montana empezó con desayunos mensuales de panqueques en el estacionamiento. Las familias venían por la comida, se quedaban por la conversación y muchas regresaban el domingo porque la invitación se sentía natural. El pastor señaló que el estrés financiero y la escasez de voluntarios disminuyeron una vez que se unieron nuevas familias y empezaron a servir.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mantén el evento enfocado en la conexión en lugar de la conversión. Mateo 5:16 dice que dejes brillar tu luz para que otros vean tus buenas obras. Una cara amigable y una tarjeta gratuita abren la puerta a conversaciones posteriores que el sitio web puede respaldar cuando tú no estás presente.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Haz un seguimiento de lo que funciona preguntando a los nuevos asistentes cómo se enteraron de la iglesia. Verás rápidamente qué eventos se convierten en invitaciones habituales y cuáles necesitan ajustes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Asociarse con grupos locales sin perder el enfoque\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Asociarse no significa diluir el evangelio. Significa presentarse donde ya existen necesidades. Los bancos de alimentos, los programas extracurriculares y las reuniones de recuperación dan la bienvenida a manos adicionales. Lleva tus tarjetas y una frase corta y amigable: “Y también quería darte esto. Es una invitación a mi iglesia y un sitio web que demuestra que Jesús te ama”.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ken Ham ha señalado que muchas personas temen las preguntas que les harán. Cuando la tarjeta lleva a TrueLife.org, esas preguntas se responden con videos y artículos sólidos en lugar de que un miembro nervioso de la iglesia intente recordar todo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Empieza pequeño. Ofrece ayudar en un evento local por trimestre. Los miembros que antes se quedaban en casa los días de alcance ahora aparecen porque la tarea se siente manejable. Con el tiempo, la iglesia se da a conocer como el lugar que se preocupa, no como el lugar que presiona.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El Dr. Danny Akin ha animado a las iglesias a usar todas las herramientas disponibles tanto para el evangelismo como para el discipulado. Las asociaciones multiplican tu alcance mientras que las tarjetas siguen señalando a las personas de vuelta a tu congregación específica.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Capacitación que perdura en lugar de abrumar\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Las clases tradicionales de evangelismo suelen requerir semanas de tareas y dramatizaciones que la gente teme. Sustitúyelas por tarjetas de billetera semanales que enumeren cuatro guiones cortos. El primero cubre cuando alguien te entrega algo primero. El segundo funciona con extraños. El tercero ayuda cuando la persona ya es creyente. El cuarto maneja un simple “no”.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El pastor Ron Wilcoxson de la Primera Iglesia Bautista de Blytheville dijo que este enfoque es el más fácil que ha visto después de probar múltiples programas. Los miembros empezaron a invitar desde la primera semana y siguieron adelante porque el sistema eliminó el miedo al rechazo y dio pasos repetibles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Incluye también un desafío de testimonio corto.

Cuando las herramientas caben en una billetera y las palabras caben en una sola respiración, la participación se mantiene alta mucho después de que pase la emoción inicial.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Medir el crecimiento que realmente importa\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Haz un seguimiento de más que la asistencia del domingo.

Les gens passent en voiture chaque semaine, pourtant beaucoup se sentent déconnectés ou ne savent pas vers qui se tourner quand la vie devient difficile. L’évangélisation n’a pas besoin de ressembler à un prêcheur sur un coin de rue avec un mégaphone. Elle commence par de petits gestes réguliers qui montrent l’amour et pointent vers Jésus.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La bonne nouvelle, c’est que la vraie croissance survient quand les membres ordinaires se sentent équipés pour inviter les autres sans conversations gênantes. L’Écriture nous rappelle dans Actes 1:8 que nous sommes témoins là où nous vivons. Quand vos gens disposent d’outils simples et de mots clairs à prononcer, ils passent vraiment à l’action semaine après semaine.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Un pasteur m’a raconté que sa congrégation avait essayé tous les programmes de formation existants. Explosion Évangélique, la Voie Romaine, même Les Trois Cercles.

À la fin, consacrez trente secondes à prier ensemble pour ces cartes. Les gens repartent avec quelque chose de concret en main et une raison de l’utiliser. Une église a commandé quinze mille cartes et en a manqué en quelques mois parce que les membres en redemandaient sans cesse.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les groupes de jeunes en bénéficient particulièrement. Des ados qui se cachaient autrefois au fond s’approchent maintenant de leurs camarades après l’école et disent : « Je ne te reverrai peut-être jamais, alors je voulais te donner ça. C’est une invitation à mon église et un site qui prouve que Jésus t’aime. » La carte fait le gros du travail. L’ado n’a qu’à montrer de la gentillesse.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Romains 10:14 demande comment les gens entendront sans prédicateur. En pratique, ce prédicateur est souvent la personne assise au banc voisin qui dispose enfin des bons mots. Quand la peur diminue, la constance augmente.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Organiser des événements qui ressemblent à une vraie communauté\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Les fêtes de quartier, les lavages de voiture gratuits et les distributions de fournitures scolaires fonctionnent toujours quand l’objectif reste simple. Installez une table avec les cartes et un code QR vers TrueLife.org afin que les visiteurs puissent explorer plus tard chez eux les réponses aux questions difficiles. Personne n’a besoin de prier sur place.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Une congrégation du Montana a commencé par des petits-déjeuners mensuels aux crêpes dans le parking. Les familles venaient pour la nourriture, restaient pour la conversation, et beaucoup revenaient le dimanche parce que l’invitation paraissait naturelle. Le pasteur a noté que le stress financier et le manque de bénévoles se sont atténués une fois que de nouvelles familles ont rejoint l’église et commencé à servir.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gardez l’événement centré sur la connexion plutôt que sur la conversion. Matthieu 5:16 dit de laisser briller votre lumière afin que les autres voient vos bonnes œuvres.

C’est une invitation à mon église et un site qui prouve que Jésus vous aime. »\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ken Ham a souligné que beaucoup de gens craignent les questions qu’on va leur poser. Quand la carte renvoie vers TrueLife.org, ces questions trouvent des réponses dans des vidéos et articles solides plutôt que dans un membre nerveux qui essaie de tout retenir.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Commencez petit. Proposez d’aider lors d’un événement local par trimestre. Les membres qui restaient chez eux les jours d’évangélisation se présentent maintenant parce que la tâche paraît réalisable. Au fil du temps, l’église devient connue comme l’endroit qui se soucie, pas celui qui fait pression.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le Dr Danny Akin a encouragé les églises à utiliser tous les outils disponibles pour l’évangélisation et le discipolat. Les partenariats multiplient votre portée tandis que les cartes continuent de ramener les gens vers votre congrégation spécifique.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Une formation qui reste efficace sans submerger\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Les cours traditionnels d’évangélisation exigent souvent des semaines de devoirs et de jeux de rôle que les gens redoutent. Remplacez-les par des cartes de portefeuille hebdomadaires qui listent quatre courts scripts. Le premier couvre le cas où quelqu’un vous tend quelque chose en premier. Le deuxième fonctionne avec des inconnus. Le troisième aide quand la personne est déjà croyante. Le quatrième gère un simple « non ».\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le pasteur Ron Wilcoxson de la First Baptist Church of Blytheville a déclaré que cette approche est la plus simple qu’il ait vue après avoir essayé plusieurs programmes. Les membres ont commencé à inviter dès la première semaine et ont continué parce que le système supprimait la peur du rejet et fournissait des étapes répétables.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Incluez aussi un petit défi de témoignage. Chaque personne enregistre une histoire de deux minutes sur son téléphone et reçoit une page web personnelle qui inclut sa vidéo ainsi que l’invitation de l’église. Cataloguez ces histoires afin que les visiteurs puissent en lire plusieurs avant de décider de venir.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Josh McDowell qualifie ce type de formation à la fois amusant et complet. Quand les outils tiennent dans un portefeuille et que les mots tiennent en une seule respiration, la participation reste élevée longtemps après l’excitation initiale.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Mesurer une croissance qui compte vraiment\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Suivez plus que la fréquentation du dimanche. Comptez combien de cartes sont emportées chaque semaine et combien de nouveaux visiteurs mentionnent le site web. Observez les membres qui commencent à inviter sans qu’on le leur demande. Ces changements discrets montrent que la culture évolue.\u003C\u002Fp>Les pressions financières, les pénuries de bénévoles et même l'anxiété au sein de la congrégation s'atténuent souvent lorsque de nouvelles personnes arrivent et trouvent l'espoir. Le pasteur Bruce Speer a noté que chaque problème majeur de l'Église remonte finalement à un manque d'évangélisation. La croissance résout les problèmes tant sur le plan spirituel que pratique.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gardez le focus sur Jésus. Les cartes et les événements ne sont que des ponts.

Ten cuatro o cinco líneas listas para diferentes situaciones.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Si alguien te entrega algo primero, di: “Y yo también quería darte esto. Es una invitación a mi iglesia y un sitio web que demuestra que Jesús te ama”. Cuando hables con un desconocido que quizás nunca vuelvas a ver, prueba: “Puede que nunca te vuelva a ver, así que quería darte esto”.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Para un creyente sin iglesia, la frase se convierte en una invitación a visitar.

Muchas personas toman la tarjeta, así que quería intentarlo”.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Estas frases provienen de pruebas reales en iglesias. Suenan naturales porque son cortas y amables.

Los visitantes nuevos necesitan respuestas a preguntas difíciles, y los miembros de largo tiempo necesitan formas frescas de compartir sus propias historias.

Incrusta un reproductor de video que muestre toda la biblioteca de respuestas a preguntas de la vida o solo los temas que tus líderes elijan. Los visitantes que reciben una tarjeta pueden ir a casa, ver un video corto y decidir visitar sin sentirse nunca acorralados.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>TrueLife.org suministra el contenido y también genera su propio tráfico de regreso a las iglesias que se unen a la red.

L’évangélisation semble écrasante quand tout le monde est occupé et craint le rejet. Pourtant la Bible nous appelle à aller et à faire des disciples, et cela commence par des gestes simples là où nous vivons.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jésus a dit à ses disciples dans Matthieu 28:19 d’aller et de faire des disciples de toutes les nations. Il n’a pas ajouté une liste de programmes compliqués. La véritable évangélisation se développe quand les croyants ordinaires disposent d’outils adaptés à leur vie. C’est là qu’interviennent les idées pratiques.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Une église du Montana a essayé de distribuer des cartes personnalisées après le culte. En quelques semaines, ses membres ont déclaré se sentir plus à l’aise pour inviter des collègues et des voisins. Le changement n’est pas venu d’un gros budget. Il est venu du fait d’avoir supprimé la peur de ne pas savoir quoi dire ensuite.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Cartes d’invitation personnalisées qui éliminent le malaise\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Beaucoup de gens se figent quand ils pensent à inviter quelqu’un à l’église. Ils imaginent de longues conversations ou des questions difficiles auxquelles ils ne peuvent pas répondre. Les cartes personnalisées résolvent ce problème en offrant une étape claire sans nécessiter un long discours.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Concevez le recto avec le logo de votre église et un message de bienvenue simple. Au verso, imprimez une courte phrase indiquant que la carte mène à un site web prouvant que Jésus les aime. Les gens peuvent la remettre et s’en aller s’ils le souhaitent. Pas de pression, juste une porte ouverte.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le pasteur Ron Wilcoxson de la First Baptist Church of Blytheville a essayé cette méthode après des années d’autres programmes d’évangélisation. Il a déclaré que c’était la méthode la plus simple que sa congrégation ait réellement continué à utiliser. Ils ont distribué quinze mille cartes parce que les membres ont commencé à les porter dans leurs portefeuilles et leurs sacs chaque jour.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Placez cinq cartes sur chaque chaise avant le service ou empilez-les près de la sortie. Quand le service se termine, mentionnez-les brièvement. Les membres en prennent quelques-unes en sortant et les gardent prêtes pour le lundi matin au travail ou à la file d’attente de l’épicerie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>La prière de trente secondes qui mobilise tout le monde\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Le changement se produit quand toute l’église prie ensemble pour la même action simple. À la fin du service, demandez à chacun de tenir une carte pendant que vous priez pour qu’ils aient le courage de la donner cette semaine.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cela prend moins de trente secondes, mais cela change l’atmosphère. Les gens repartent avec les cartes en main et le sentiment renouvelé que inviter fait partie du fait de suivre Jésus. Aucune réunion supplémentaire n’est requise et aucun nouveau programme à acheter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Un groupe de jeunes a rapporté que des adolescents qui restaient autrefois silencieux se sentaient désormais à l’aise pour distribuer des cartes à leurs amis à l’école. La prière leur a donné la permission et la carte leur a donné les mots. En quelques mois, la salle des jeunes s’est remplie de nouveaux visages qui avaient d’abord découvert l’église grâce à ces simples bouts de papier.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>L’Écriture nous rappelle dans Colossiens 4:5-6 d’agir avec sagesse envers ceux du dehors et de laisser nos conversations être pleines de grâce. Une courte prière à la fin du service aide cette grâce à se répandre dans les moments de la vie réelle.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Guides « Que dire » qui tiennent dans un portefeuille\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Même avec une carte en main, certains membres hésitent encore au moment précis. Des amorces de conversation courtes imprimées sur une petite carte résolvent ce problème. Gardez quatre ou cinq phrases prêtes pour différentes situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Si quelqu’un vous tend quelque chose en premier, dites : « Et moi aussi, je voulais vous donner ceci. C’est une invitation à mon église et un site web qui prouve que Jésus vous aime. » En parlant à un inconnu que vous ne reverrez peut-être jamais, essayez : « Je ne vous reverrai peut-être jamais, alors je voulais vous donner ceci. »\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pour un autre croyant sans église locale, la phrase devient une invitation à visiter. S’il fréquente déjà ailleurs, suggérez-lui de montrer la carte à son propre pasteur. Le guide couvre même ce qu’il faut dire quand quelqu’un refuse : « Je comprends tout à fait. Beaucoup de gens prennent la carte, alors je voulais essayer. »\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ces phrases proviennent de tests réels en église. Elles sonnent naturelles parce qu’elles restent courtes et bienveillantes.

Les nouveaux visiteurs ont besoin de réponses à des questions difficiles, et les membres de longue date ont besoin de nouvelles façons de partager leur propre histoire. Les sites de témoignages permettent à chacun de créer une simple page en ligne avec sa vidéo personnelle et l’invitation de votre église.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Reliez ces pages dans un catalogue d’église afin que n’importe qui puisse partager le témoignage d’un ami en un clic. Associez-les à des guides d’étude qui correspondent au contenu vidéo sur des sujets comme le doute, la souffrance ou la fiabilité de l’Écriture. Utilisez les guides à l’école du dimanche ou dans les petits groupes pour renforcer la confiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les matériaux d’Evangelism Boot Camp, approuvés par Josh McDowell, offrent aux responsables des leçons prêtes à l’emploi qui ressemblent plus à une conversation qu’à un cours magistral. Quand les membres terminent l’étude, ils savent déjà comment les cartes d’invitation s’intègrent dans une vision plus large du fait de suivre Jésus au quotidien.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ken Ham a souligné que beaucoup de croyants craignent les questions qu’ils rencontreront.

모든 민족을 제자로 삼으라고 말씀하셨습니다. 복잡한 프로그램 목록을 추가하지 않으셨습니다. 진정한 전도는 평범한 신자들이 삶에 맞는 도구를 가질 때 자라납니다. 바로 그 지점에서 실질적인 아이디어가 필요합니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>몬태나의 한 교회는 예배 후 맞춤형 카드를 나눠주는 시도를 했습니다. 몇 주 만에 교인들은 동료와 이웃을 초대하는 일이 훨씬 가볍게 느껴진다고 보고했습니다. 변화는 큰 예산에서 온 것이 아니라, 다음에 무슨 말을 해야 할지 모르는 두려움을 없애준 데서 왔습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>어색함을 없애주는 맞춤 초대 카드\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>많은 사람들이 누군가를 교회에 초대하는 일을 생각하면 얼어붙습니다. 긴 대화나 답할 수

예수님을 따르는 일의 일부라는 새로운 감각을 가지고 떠납니다. 추가 모임도 필요 없고 새로운 교재를 구입할 필요도 없습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>한 청소년부에서는 한때 침묵하던 청소년들이 이제 학교 친구들에게 카드를 건네는 데 편안함을 느낀다고 보고했습니다. 기도는 그들에게 허락을 주었고 카드는 그들에게 말을 주었습니다. 몇 달 만에 청소년실은 그 단순한 종이 조각을 통해 처음으로 교회를 알게 된 새로운 얼굴들로 가득 찼습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>성경은 골로새서 4:5-6에서 우리에게 외부인에 대해 지혜롭게 행동하고 대화가 은혜로 가득 차게 하라고 상기시킵니다. 예배 마지막의 짧은 기도는 그 은혜가 실제 삶의 순간들로 흘러가도록

There are also convincing responses to theories that suggest that He didn’t rise from the dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One such theory is sometimes known as the swoon theory. This theory argues that Jesus never really died, and left the tomb under His own power. He may have fainted or gone into a coma and then recovered. There are several problems with this theory. The Roman soldiers overseeing the crucifixion checked Jesus, found Him dead, and then pierced His side with a spear. Jesus was embalmed and John 19:39 says that the spices and perfumes used to prepare the body for burial weighed “about a hundred pounds.” He was also wrapped in linen and given no medical attention for three days. Those who propose this theory would have us believe that Jesus somehow survived all of this and then managed to move the stone at the tomb’s entrance Himself! The truth is that crucifixion was designed to guarantee death, and no one ever survived it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Another theory says that the women must have gone to the wrong tomb. While it is possible that they could have initially made this mistake, it is one that the authorities would have easily corrected. They knew where the tomb was, because they placed guards there. Had the women spread stories about the resurrection because they had seen a different empty tomb, the Roman and Jewish authorities could have easily referred everyone to the still-occupied tomb. The other problem with this theory is the fact that the disciples verified the women’s report by going to the tomb themselves. John describes how he and Peter “were running together” and how he got to the tomb first and “saw the linen wrappings lying there” (John 20:2-8).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Some argue that the body may have been stolen by the disciples, the women, or by Joseph of Arimathea (the owner of the tomb). Matthew’s gospel tells us more about this theory. The group of religious leaders known as Pharisees, remembered Jesus’ prophecy about rising again on the third day, and convinced Pilate to have the tomb guarded, so that Jesus’ disciples could not steal the body. Matthew says that “they went and made the grave secure, and along with the guard they set a seal on the stone” (Matt. 27:66). This seal was a sign of authentication that the tomb was occupied and the power and authority of Rome stood behind the seal. Anyone found breaking the Roman seal would suffer the punishment of an unpleasant death. Also, moving the stone would have been incredibly difficult to do, and it certainly wouldn’t be quiet. Additionally, most of the disciples were put to death because they were proclaiming Jesus’ resurrection. It is highly unlikely that they would all choose to die for something they simply made up, especially when they could have saved their lives by changing their story.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Matthew also tells us about how the religious leaders of the time explained the empty tomb. The chief priests and elders got together and paid some of the soldiers guarding the tomb to claim that the disciples came during the night, while the guards were asleep, and stole the body. The guards “took the money and did as they had been instructed; and this story was widely spread among the Jews, and is to this day” (Matthew 28:11-15). Under Roman law guards were executed for falling asleep at their post, making it extremely unlikely that they would have been sleeping soundly enough for the disciples to come and steal the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It is even more unlikely that the women stole the body. All the same problems exist with the additional difficulty of the women being unable to move the stone themselves. They recognized their own inability to do so when they returned to the tomb, planning to finish the burial rites with additional spices. In thinking about the problem, “they were saying to one another, ‘Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?’” (Mark 16:3).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Another suggestion is that Joseph of Arimathea stole the body because of his secret belief in Jesus. He would encounter all the same problems that the disciples would in stealing the body, and he doesn’t appear to have a strong motive. If the body were stolen, surely it would have been found by those attempting to put to rest rumors of a resurrection. Also, none of the theories address the multiple resurrection appearances of Jesus.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One theory that does attempt to explain the resurrection appearances is the hallucination theory. It suggests that those who claimed to see Jesus after his crucifixion were imagining it and didn’t really see Him. One reason that a person might imagine the reappearance of a loved one is as a sort of wish fulfillment. Perhaps the overwhelming desire to see the person again would result in a hallucination. However, the disciples appear to have accepted Jesus death and had returned to their ordinary lives. The biggest problem with the hallucination theory is that hallucinations are private and individual. They don’t occur in groups. Yet, in one instance Jesus “appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time” (1 Corinthians 15:6).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A belief that was popularized by a group of people known as Gnostics was that Jesus was resurrected spiritually and not physically. This teaching came out of a belief that anything physical is bad and that everything in the spiritual world is good. The description of the appearances clearly shows that Jesus had a real body after His death and resurrection. He was physically touched. Mary Magdalene clung to Him (John 20:17), Thomas felt His wounds (John 20:27), and Jesus ate broiled fish (Luke 24:41-43). Spirits can’t be touched, and they definitely don’t eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In his book The Passover Plot, Hugh Schonfield suggests that those who claimed to see Jesus after His crucifixion were actually witnessing an imposter, perhaps Joseph of Arimathea. The fact that many of those who saw Him didn’t immediately recognize Him is used as evidence to support this theory. However, in each and every case, the witnesses’ initial doubt about Jesus’ identity was replaced by a confidence that it was in fact Jesus. This theory also fails to provide an explanation for the empty tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Something caused the disciples to move from despair to belief in the days after Jesus’ death. Their discouragement was replaced by conviction that He was, indeed, the risen Savior. The tomb remained empty, Jesus’ dead body was never again seen, and those who saw and believed were forever changed. The most believable explanation for this is that Jesus rose from the dead in bodily form, just as He said He would.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>SUGGESTED RESOURCES\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Those who would like to read more on this topic are encouraged to check out:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>--- ONLINE RESOURCES ---\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gary Habermas - journal articles on the resurrection &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.garyhabermas.com\u002Farticles\u002Farticles.htm\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.garyhabermas.com\u002Farticles\u002Farticles.htm\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Peter Kreeft - Evidence for the Resurrection of Christ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.peterkreeft.com\u002Ftopics-more\u002Fresurrection-evidence.htm\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.peterkreeft.com\u002Ftopics-more\u002Fresurrection-evidence.htm\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lee Strobel - The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=Z5wKYcK_kUs\">https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=Z5wKYcK_kUs\u003Cspan>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>--- PRINT RESOURCES ---\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Winfried Corduan - No Doubt about It: The Case for Christianity (\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0805416471\">http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0805416471\u003C\u002Fa>)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Norman Geisler - Baker Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics (\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0801021510\">http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0801021510\u003C\u002Fa>)\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>","what-are-the-different-theories-concerning-christ-s-resurrection","article","2019-12-19T17:26:41.470Z","2026-07-29T15:34:57.640Z","https:\u002F\u002Fs3.amazonaws.com\u002Ftruelife1\u002Ficons\u002F117\u002Fanswerthumbnails\u002Ffull.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Ftruelifeorg.s3.amazonaws.com\u002Fthumb.png","https:\u002F\u002Ftruelifeorg.s3.amazonaws.com\u002FMarriage+Icon-01.png","\n\n¿Cuáles son las diferentes teorías en cuanto a la resurrección de Cristo?","\u003Cp>Los Evangelios nos dicen que después de que Jesús fue crucificado, un hombre llamado José de Arimatea pidió permiso a Pilato para llevarse el cuerpo y enterrarlo en un sepulcro que nunca había sido usado. Envolvió el cuerpo en lino, y más tarde las mujeres vinieron y prepararon el cuerpo para un entierro adecuado con especias y perfumes. Lucas escribe que cuando las mujeres regresaron al tercer día “encontraron que la piedra había sido quitada del sepulcro”, y cuando entraron “no hallaron el cuerpo del Señor Jesús”, y que aparecieron ángeles y les dijeron que Jesús estaba vivo y había resucitado (Lucas 24:1-6).\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\t\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La resurrección de Jesús está en el centro de la creencia cristiana, pues “si Cristo no ha resucitado, vuestra fe es vana; aún estáis en vuestros pecados” (1 Corintios 15:17). Afortunadamente, hay fuerte evidencia que apoya la resurrección corporal de Jesús. También hay respuestas convincentes a las teorías que sugieren que Él no resucitó de entre los muertos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Una de esas teorías se conoce a veces como la teoría del desmayo. Esta teoría sostiene que Jesús nunca murió realmente, y salió del sepulcro por su propio poder. Puede que se haya desmayado o entrado en coma y luego se haya recuperado. Hay varios problemas con esta teoría. Los soldados romanos que supervisaban la crucifixión revisaron a Jesús, lo encontraron muerto, y luego le atravesaron el costado con una lanza. Jesús fue embalsamado y Juan 19:39 dice que las especias y perfumes usados para preparar el cuerpo para el entierro pesaban “como cien libras”. También fue envuelto en lino y no recibió atención médica durante tres días. ¡Los que proponen esta teoría nos harían creer que Jesús de alguna manera sobrevivió a todo esto y luego logró mover la piedra de la entrada del sepulcro por sí mismo! La verdad es que la crucifixión estaba diseñada para garantizar la muerte, y nadie sobrevivió jamás a ella.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Otra teoría dice que las mujeres debieron ir al sepulcro equivocado. Aunque es posible que inicialmente hayan cometido este error, es uno que las autoridades habrían corregido fácilmente. Ellas sabían dónde estaba el sepulcro, porque colocaron guardias allí. Si las mujeres hubieran difundido historias sobre la resurrección porque habían visto un sepulcro vacío diferente, las autoridades romanas y judías podrían haber referido fácilmente a todos al sepulcro todavía ocupado. El otro problema con esta teoría es el hecho de que los discípulos verificaron el informe de las mujeres yendo al sepulcro ellos mismos. Juan describe cómo él y Pedro “corrían juntos” y cómo él llegó al sepulcro primero y “vio las vendas de lino allí tendidas” (Juan 20:2-8).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Algunos argumentan que el cuerpo pudo haber sido robado por los discípulos, las mujeres, o por José de Arimatea (el dueño del sepulcro). El evangelio de Mateo nos dice más sobre esta teoría. El grupo de líderes religiosos conocido como fariseos, recordaron la profecía de Jesús sobre resucitar al tercer día, y convencieron a Pilato de que hiciera guardar el sepulcro, para que los discípulos de Jesús no pudieran robar el cuerpo. Mateo dice que “ellos fueron y aseguraron el sepulcro, y junto con la guardia pusieron un sello sobre la piedra” (Mat. 27:66). Este sello era una señal de autenticación de que el sepulcro estaba ocupado y el poder y la autoridad de Roma respaldaban el sello. Cualquiera que rompiera el sello romano sufriría el castigo de una muerte desagradable. Además, mover la piedra habría sido increíblemente difícil de hacer, y ciertamente no habría sido silencioso. Adicionalmente, la mayoría de los discípulos fueron condenados a muerte porque proclamaban la resurrección de Jesús. Es altamente improbable que todos eligieran morir por algo que simplemente inventaron, especialmente cuando podrían haber salvado sus vidas cambiando su historia.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mateo también nos cuenta cómo los líderes religiosos de la época explicaron el sepulcro vacío. Los sumos sacerdotes y ancianos se reunieron y pagaron a algunos de los soldados que custodiaban el sepulcro para que afirmaran que los discípulos vinieron durante la noche, mientras los guardias dormían, y robaron el cuerpo. Los guardias “tomaron el dinero e hicieron como se les había instruido; y este rumor se divulgó entre los judíos, y continúa hasta el día de hoy” (Mateo 28:11-15). Bajo la ley romana, los guardias eran ejecutados por quedarse dormidos en su puesto, lo que hace extremadamente improbable que hubieran estado durmiendo tan profundamente como para que los discípulos vinieran y robaran el cuerpo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Es aún más improbable que las mujeres robaran el cuerpo. Existen todos los mismos problemas con la dificultad adicional de que las mujeres no podían mover la piedra ellas mismas. Reconocieron su propia incapacidad para hacerlo cuando regresaron al sepulcro, planeando terminar los ritos de entierro con especias adicionales. Al pensar en el problema, “se decían unas a otras: ‘¿Quién nos removerá la piedra de la entrada del sepulcro?’” (Marcos 16:3).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Otra sugerencia es que José de Arimatea robó el cuerpo debido a su creencia secreta en Jesús. Se enfrentaría a todos los mismos problemas que los discípulos al robar el cuerpo, y no parece tener un motivo fuerte. Si el cuerpo hubiera sido robado, seguramente habría sido encontrado por aquellos que intentaban acabar con los rumores de una resurrección. Además, ninguna de las teorías aborda las múltiples apariciones de resurrección de Jesús.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Una teoría que sí intenta explicar las apariciones de la resurrección es la teoría de la alucinación. Sugiere que quienes afirmaron haber visto a Jesús después de su crucifixión lo estaban imaginando y en realidad no lo vieron. Una razón por la que una persona podría imaginar la reaparición de un ser querido es como una especie de cumplimiento de deseos. Tal vez el deseo abrumador de volver a ver a la persona daría como resultado una alucinación. Sin embargo, los discípulos parecen haber aceptado la muerte de Jesús y habían regresado a sus vidas ordinarias. El mayor problema con la teoría de la alucinación es que las alucinaciones son privadas e individuales. No ocurren en grupos. Sin embargo, en una ocasión Jesús “apareció a más de quinientos hermanos a la vez” (1 Corintios 15:6).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Una creencia que fue popularizada por un grupo de personas conocido como los gnósticos era que Jesús resucitó espiritualmente y no físicamente. Esta enseñanza surgió de la creencia de que todo lo físico es malo y que todo en el mundo espiritual es bueno. La descripción de las apariciones muestra claramente que Jesús tenía un cuerpo real después de su muerte y resurrección. Fue tocado físicamente. María Magdalena se aferró a Él (Juan 20:17), Tomás tocó sus heridas (Juan 20:27), y Jesús comió pescado asado (Lucas 24:41-43). Los espíritus no pueden ser tocados, y definitivamente no comen.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En su libro The Passover Plot, Hugh Schonfield sugiere que quienes afirmaron haber visto a Jesús después de su crucifixión en realidad estaban presenciando a un impostor, quizás José de Arimatea. El hecho de que muchos de quienes lo vieron no lo reconocieron de inmediato se usa como evidencia para apoyar esta teoría. Sin embargo, en cada caso, la duda inicial de los testigos sobre la identidad de Jesús fue reemplazada por la confianza de que en realidad era Jesús.

Su desaliento fue reemplazado por la convicción de que Él era, en verdad, el Salvador resucitado. La tumba permaneció vacía, el cuerpo muerto de Jesús nunca más fue visto, y quienes vieron y creyeron fueron transformados para siempre. La explicación más creíble para esto es que Jesús resucitó de entre los muertos en forma corporal, tal como Él dijo que lo haría.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>RECURSOS SUGERIDOS\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Quienes deseen leer más sobre este tema pueden consultar:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>--- RECURSOS EN LÍNEA ---\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gary Habermas - artículos de revista sobre la resurrección &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.garyhabermas.com\u002Farticles\u002Farticles.htm\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.garyhabermas.com\u002Farticles\u002Farticles.htm\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Peter Kreeft - Evidencia de la resurrección de Cristo &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.peterkreeft.com\u002Ftopics-more\u002Fresurrection-evidence.htm\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.peterkreeft.com\u002Ftopics-more\u002Fresurrection-evidence.htm\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lee Strobel - El caso de la resurrección de Jesús &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=Z5wKYcK_kUs\">https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=Z5wKYcK_kUs\u003Cspan>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>--- RECURSOS IMPRESOS ---\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Winfried Corduan - No Doubt about It: The Case for Christianity (\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0805416471\">http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0805416471\u003C\u002Fa>)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Norman Geisler - Baker Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics (\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0801021510\">http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0801021510\u003C\u002Fa>)\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>","\n\nQuels sont les différentes théories concernant la résurrection du Christ ?","\u003Cp>Les Évangiles nous disent qu’après la crucifixion de Jésus, un homme nommé Joseph d’Arimathée demanda à Pilate l’autorisation d’emporter le corps et de l’ensevelir dans un tombeau jamais utilisé. Il enveloppa le corps dans un linceul, et des femmes vinrent ensuite préparer le corps pour un enterrement digne avec des aromates et des parfums. Luc écrit que lorsque les femmes revinrent le troisième jour « elles trouvèrent la pierre roulée devant le tombeau », et lorsqu’elles entrèrent « elles ne trouvèrent pas le corps du Seigneur Jésus », et que des anges apparurent et leur dirent que Jésus était vivant et qu’il était ressuscité (Luc 24:1-6).\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\t\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La résurrection de Jésus est au cœur de la foi chrétienne, car « si Christ n’est pas ressuscité, [votre] foi est vaine ; [vous] êtes encore dans [vos] péchés » (1 Corinthiens 15:17). Heureusement, il existe de solides preuves soutenant la résurrection corporelle de Jésus. Il existe également des réponses convaincantes aux théories suggérant qu’il n’est pas ressuscité d’entre les morts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Une de ces théories est parfois connue sous le nom de théorie de l’évanouissement. Cette théorie soutient que Jésus n’est pas vraiment mort et qu’il a quitté le tombeau par ses propres moyens. Il aurait pu s’évanouir ou entrer dans un coma puis s’en être remis. Cette théorie présente plusieurs problèmes. Les soldats romains qui surveillaient la crucifixion vérifièrent Jésus, le trouvèrent mort, puis lui percèrent le côté avec une lance. Jésus fut embaumé et Jean 19:39 dit que les aromates et les parfums utilisés pour préparer le corps en vue de l’enterrement pesaient « environ cent livres ». Il fut également enveloppé dans un linceul et ne reçut aucun soin médical pendant trois jours. Ceux qui proposent cette théorie voudraient nous faire croire que Jésus a d’une manière ou d’une autre survécu à tout cela et qu’il a ensuite réussi à déplacer lui-même la pierre à l’entrée du tombeau ! La vérité est que la crucifixion était conçue pour garantir la mort, et personne n’y a jamais survécu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Une autre théorie dit que les femmes ont dû se tromper de tombeau. Bien qu’il soit possible qu’elles aient initialement commis cette erreur, c’est une erreur que les autorités auraient facilement corrigée. Elles savaient où se trouvait le tombeau, car elles y avaient placé des gardes. Si les femmes avaient répandu des histoires sur la résurrection parce qu’elles avaient vu un autre tombeau vide, les autorités romaines et juives auraient facilement pu renvoyer tout le monde au tombeau encore occupé. L’autre problème avec cette théorie est le fait que les disciples ont vérifié le rapport des femmes en se rendant eux-mêmes au tombeau. Jean décrit comment lui et Pierre « couraient ensemble » et comment il arriva au tombeau le premier et « vit les bandelettes de lin qui y étaient déposées » (Jean 20:2-8).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Certains soutiennent que le corps a pu être volé par les disciples, les femmes ou par Joseph d’Arimathée (le propriétaire du tombeau). L’Évangile de Matthieu nous en dit plus sur cette théorie. Le groupe de chefs religieux connu sous le nom de pharisiens, se souvenant de la prophétie de Jésus sur sa résurrection le troisième jour, convainquit Pilate de faire garder le tombeau, afin que les disciples de Jésus ne puissent pas voler le corps. Matthieu dit qu’« ils allèrent et rendirent le sépulcre sûr, et avec la garde ils mirent un sceau sur la pierre » (Matthieu 27:66). Ce sceau était un signe d’authentification que le tombeau était occupé et que le pouvoir et l’autorité de Rome se tenaient derrière le sceau. Quiconque était trouvé en train de briser le sceau romain subirait le châtiment d’une mort désagréable. De plus, déplacer la pierre aurait été incroyablement difficile à faire, et cela n’aurait certainement pas été silencieux. De plus, la plupart des disciples furent mis à mort parce qu’ils proclamaient la résurrection de Jésus. Il est hautement improbable qu’ils choisissent tous de mourir pour quelque chose qu’ils auraient simplement inventé, surtout quand ils auraient pu sauver leur vie en changeant leur histoire.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Matthieu nous parle également de la façon dont les chefs religieux de l’époque expliquèrent le tombeau vide. Les principaux sacrificateurs et les anciens se réunirent et payèrent certains des soldats qui gardaient le tombeau pour qu’ils prétendent que les disciples vinrent pendant la nuit, pendant que les gardes dormaient, et volèrent le corps. Les gardes « prirent l’argent et firent comme ils avaient été instruits ; et cette histoire fut répandue parmi les Juifs, et elle l’est jusqu’à ce jour » (Matthieu 28:11-15). Selon la loi romaine, les gardes étaient exécutés s’ils s’endormaient à leur poste, ce qui rend extrêmement improbable qu’ils aient dormi assez profondément pour que les disciples viennent voler le corps.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il est encore plus improbable que les femmes aient volé le corps. Tous les mêmes problèmes existent avec la difficulté supplémentaire que les femmes n’auraient pas pu déplacer la pierre elles-mêmes. Elles reconnurent leur propre incapacité à le faire lorsqu’elles revinrent au tombeau, prévoyant de terminer les rites funéraires avec des aromates supplémentaires. En réfléchissant au problème, « elles se disaient l’une à l’autre : “Qui nous roulera la pierre de l’entrée du tombeau ?” » (Marc 16:3).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Une autre suggestion est que Joseph d’Arimathée a volé le corps à cause de sa croyance secrète en Jésus. Il rencontrerait tous les mêmes problèmes que les disciples pour voler le corps, et il ne semble pas avoir un motif fort. Si le corps avait été volé, il aurait sûrement été retrouvé par ceux qui tentaient de mettre fin aux rumeurs de résurrection. De plus, aucune des théories n’aborde les multiples apparitions de Jésus après sa résurrection.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Une théorie qui tente d’expliquer les apparitions de la résurrection est la théorie de l’hallucination. Elle suggère que ceux qui ont affirmé avoir vu Jésus après sa crucifixion l’imaginaient et ne l’ont pas réellement vu. Une raison pour laquelle une personne pourrait imaginer la réapparition d’un être cher est une sorte de réalisation de souhait. Peut-être que le désir écrasant de revoir la personne aboutirait à une hallucination. Cependant, les disciples semblent avoir accepté la mort de Jésus et être retournés à leur vie ordinaire. Le plus grand problème de la théorie de l’hallucination est que les hallucinations sont privées et individuelles. Elles ne se produisent pas en groupe. Pourtant, dans un cas, Jésus « est apparu à plus de cinq cents frères à la fois » (1 Corinthiens 15:6).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Une croyance popularisée par un groupe de personnes connues sous le nom de gnostiques était que Jésus était ressuscité spirituellement et non physiquement. Cet enseignement découlait de la croyance que tout ce qui est physique est mauvais et que tout ce qui est dans le monde spirituel est bon. La description des apparitions montre clairement que Jésus avait un vrai corps après sa mort et sa résurrection. Il a été touché physiquement. Marie-Madeleine s’est accrochée à Lui (Jean 20:17), Thomas a touché Ses blessures (Jean 20:27), et Jésus a mangé du poisson grillé (Luc 24:41-43). Les esprits ne peuvent pas être touchés, et ils ne mangent certainement pas.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dans son livre The Passover Plot, Hugh Schonfield suggère que ceux qui ont affirmé avoir vu Jésus après sa crucifixion assistaient en réalité à un imposteur, peut-être Joseph d’Arimathée. Le fait que beaucoup de ceux qui L’ont vu ne L’ont pas immédiatement reconnu est utilisé comme preuve pour soutenir cette théorie. Cependant, dans chaque cas, le doute initial des témoins quant à l’identité de Jésus a été remplacé par la certitude qu’il s’agissait bien de Jésus. Cette théorie ne parvient pas non plus à expliquer le tombeau vide.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Quelque chose a poussé les disciples à passer du désespoir à la croyance dans les jours qui ont suivi la mort de Jésus. Leur découragement a été remplacé par la conviction qu’Il était, en effet, le Sauveur ressuscité. Le tombeau est resté vide, le corps mort de Jésus n’a plus jamais été vu, et ceux qui ont vu et cru ont été transformés à jamais. L’explication la plus crédible de cela est que Jésus est ressuscité des morts sous une forme corporelle, comme Il l’avait dit.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>RESSOURCES SUGGÉRÉES\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ceux qui souhaitent en savoir plus sur ce sujet sont encouragés à consulter :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>--- RESSOURCES EN LIGNE ---\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gary Habermas -

And he shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead, whose kingdom shall have no end…\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>and the Chalcedonian Creed (A.D. 451), where the Church affirmed that the Lord Jesus is\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>at once complete in Godhead and complete in manhood, truly God and truly man, consisting also of a reason-able soul and body; of one substance [\u003Cem>homoousios\u003C\u002Fem>] with the Father as regards his Godhead, and at the same time of one substance [\u003Cem>homoousios\u003C\u002Fem>] with us as regards his manhood; like us in all respects, apart from sin; as regards his Godhead, begotten of the Father before the ages, but yet as regards his manhood begotten, for us men and for our salvation, of Mary the Virgin. . . one and the same Christ, Son, Lord, Only-begotten, recognized in two natures, without confusion, without change, without division, without separation; the distinction of natures being in no way annulled by the union, but rather the characteristics of each nature preserved and coming together to form one person and subsistence [\u003Cem>hupostasis\u003C\u002Fem>], not as parted or separated into two persons, but one and the same Son and Only-begotten God the Word, Lord Jesus Christ; even as the prophets from earliest times spoke of him, and our Lord Jesus Christ himself taught us.…\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It has been the conviction of faithful Christians from the inception of the Church that to neglect or compromise such orthodox confessions is tantamount to the betrayal of the Lord. Indeed there is no genuine Christianity other than that based upon the absolute truth of Jesus Christ as the incarnate Son of God. The Body of Christ, if it is to be the true Church of its Lord, must proclaim and embody the gospel of Christ and the Christ of the gospel to all people. It is called to evangelize men and women “out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation” (Rev 5:9), embracing them in a loving community of faith and discipleship under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. In obedience to this Christ-centered mandate, the Church extends itself to all who are in need, especially the disenfranchised, the poor, the oppressed, the despised, the abused and the hurting. Because its Savior is the Savior of the world (1 Ti 4:10; 1 Jn 4:14), the Church is called to be a family of diver-sity which includes people of every race, color, class and nation. We affirm that we are stronger and better together than we can ever be apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Unfortunately, something has gone terribly amiss. We live in a culture that has gone mad in its rebellion against God. Today the Church itself appears on the verge of insanity, having forsaken the exclusive claims of its Christ and the instruction of His Word. We have lost our way and abandoned our moorings. Tragically, the deadly virus of modernity has even infected Evangelicalism. R. Albert Mohler correctly asserts that\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>the theological unity that once marked the movement has given way to a theological pluralism . . . . Indeed, by the late 1970’s it was clear that basic theological fissures were forming . . . . Though the division originated in debates over the for-mal principle of Scripture, it soon spread to material doctrines including Christology, the Atonement, justification, and virtually every other major doctrine.2\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>My main concern is how Christology (the person and work of Jesus Christ) will be understood in the future. George Barna has noted that while most Americans believe good and positive things about Jesus, almost half believe that He sinned. Further-more, pseudo-scholars continue to conjure up bizarre concoctions and fantasies about the historical Jesus that are popularized by a naive and sensationalist media which unfortunately results in significant confusion for the majority of indiscriminate Americans, most of whom are biblically and theologically illiterate. Such reinterpretations of Jesus fail to recognize His historical significance. Jaroslav Pelikan has said, “Regardless of what anyone may personally think or believe about him, Jesus of Nazareth has been the dominant figure in the history of Western culture for almost twenty centuries. . . . It is from his birth that most of the human race dates its calendars, it is by his name that millions curse and in his name that millions pray.”3\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Christians believe that Jesus will continue to be the dominant figure of the twenty-first century, and of every future century. If the Church is to maintain fidelity to “the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3), however, the twenty-first century Jesus must be the Jesus of the first century. Our ever-changing culture needs the never-changing Christ who alone can provide both the foundation and direction for Christian faith and practice as the Church faces the challenges of a new era. Four pillars from the New Testament can provide stability for the Church at the dawn of a new millennium, a time when the Church needs to be recalled to biblical authority, and when it needs to define and defend its faith clearly and fully. Drawn from the comprehensive revelation of the New Testament, these four key Christological texts show how to know and worship the One whom Augustine described as “beauty ever ancient, ever new.”4\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I. Pillar One: Logos Christology (John 1:1-18)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Logos&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>Christology is founded upon the\u003Cem>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>Prologue to John’s Gospel (1:1-18), which has been a bulwark for reflection on a number of crucial theological themes by several significant thinkers. For example, Millard Erickson identifies five attributes and activities ascribed to the&nbsp;\u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem>: (1) Pre-existence, (2) Deity, (3) Creative work, (4) Incarnation and (5) Revelatory work.5&nbsp;Bernard Ramm has written, “It has been standard teaching in historic Christology that the Logos, the Son, existed before the in-carnation. . . pre-existence is part of the protology (‘first things’) or the theology of beginning.”6&nbsp;D. A. Carson addressed the significance of the title&nbsp;\u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;when he explained that “John’s summarizing title for Jesus is the ‘Word.’ It is a brilliant choice. In the beginning was the Word; in the be-ginning God expressed himself, if you will. And that Self-Expression, God’s own Word, identified with God yet distinguish-able from him, has now become flesh, the culmination of the prophetic hope.”7\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>By using&nbsp;\u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem>, John takes a familiar first-century term and fills it with new meaning. The&nbsp;\u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;existed in the beginning and is in some sense distinct from the Father. Yet the&nbsp;\u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;is God. He is the member of the trinitarian Godhead who is the agent of creation and the source of both life and light. He is the “only begot-ten” (\u003Cem>monogenes)\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;of God (1:14, 18; 3:16, 18; 1 Jn 4:9)8&nbsp;who took on flesh (\u003Cem>sarx\u003C\u002Fem>), human nature apart from sin, and entered history to reveal, literally to exegete (\u003Cem>exegesato\u003C\u002Fem>, v. 18) the invisible God. John’s use of&nbsp;\u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;“seems to imply that the word he is speaking of is that prophetic word which goes forth from God’s mouth to accomplish creation, judgment, redemption and renewal. John uses&nbsp;\u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;because it is the natural word for expressing the meaning of the Hebrew word&nbsp;\u003Cem>dabar\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;when the word was used in the context of God’s revela-tion.”9&nbsp;Yet this Word is more than verbal expression. He is a person, and that per-son is the very Son of God. C. K. Barrett clarifies the issue when he remarks, “The deeds and words of Jesus are the deeds and words of God; if this be not true the book [John’s Gospel] is blasphemous.”10&nbsp;\u003Cem>Logos&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>Christology is ontologically focused, for it addresses the person of Jesus Christ rather than His work.&nbsp;\u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;Christology emphasizes how the Son of God is&nbsp;\u003Cem>different\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;from us. A focus on the incarnation, on the other hand, reveals how He has become&nbsp;\u003Cem>like\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;us. Both truths must be maintained in delicate balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The importance of the doctrine of the in-carnation cannot be overstated. It is the vital and non-negotiable expression of historic orthodox Christianity. B. B. Warfield asserted the central character of this essential formula even as theological compromise was sweeping the late nineteenth century:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One of the most portentous symptoms of the decay of vital sympathy with historical Christianity which is observable in present-day academic circles is the widespread tendency in recent Christological discussion to revolt from the doctrine of the Two Natures in the Person of Christ. The significance of this revolt becomes at once apparent, when we reflect that the doctrine of the Two Natures is only another way of stating the doctrine of the Incarnation; and the doctrine of the Incarnation is the hinge on which the Christian system turns. No Two Natures, no Incarnation; no Incarnation; no Christianity in any distinctive sense.11\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Warfield knew what was at stake. He realized that the doctrine of the incarnation of the Son of God permeated the New Testament, and could not be rejected without devastating results. Thus, he concluded that\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>the doctrine of the Two Natures of Christ is not merely the synthesis of the teaching of the New Testament, but the conception which underlies every one of the New Testament writings . . . it is not only the teaching of the New Testament as a whole but of the whole of the New Testament, part by part. Historically, this means that not only has the doctrine of the Two Natures been the invariable presupposition of the whole teaching of the church from the apostolic age down, but all the teaching of the apostolic age rests on it as its universal presupposition.12\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>James D. G. Dunn is led by the historical evidence to argue,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There was no question in my mind that the doctrine of incarnation comes to clear expression within the New Testament - certainly at least in a sense which clearly foreshadows the further growth or evolution to the full blown doctrine of the historic Christian creedal statements. On almost any reckoning, John 1:14 ranks as a classic formulation of the Christian belief in Jesus as incarnate God.13\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To profess that Jesus of Nazareth was God become man is a staggering claim. Yet, the Church’s experience of Jesus drove a band of first-century Jews to this startling confession. Some modern critics deny this fundamental tenet of orthodox Christianity. The authors of&nbsp;\u003Cem>The Myth of&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cem>God Incarnate\u003C\u002Fem>14\u003Cem>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>and the participants in the “Jesus Seminar” are just a few proponents of a movement that is already on the way to the fringe of Christian scholarship. Other experts may seek to redefine&nbsp;\u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;and the incarnation. Those now enamored with “Spirit Christology”15&nbsp;fit this description. Surely Carl F. H. Henry is correct when he claims that “more than any other century since Christian beginnings, our century seems confused over the identity of Jesus and unsure even of what the Nazarene thought of himself and of his role in the world . . . [But] for an orthodox Christian, the most important phrase in all intellectual history is that ‘the Word became flesh’ (John 1:14).”16&nbsp;The identification of Jesus as the God-man must be affirmed at the onset of a new century.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>II. Pillar Two: Servant Christology (Philippians 2:6-11)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Christ-hymn of Philippians 2:6-11 has been called “a christological gem unparalleled in the New Testament.”17&nbsp;With language akin to the Servant Song of Isaiah 52:13 - 53:12 and the washing of the disciples’ feet in John 13:3-17, Paul presents Jesus “as the supreme example of humble, self-sacrificing, self-denying, self-giving service. . . .”18&nbsp;The hymn is rooted in ethical concern, but branches out to address Christology and soteriology as well. It is the ethical focus, however, that is the focal point in “servant Christology.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Verse five commands19&nbsp;believers to have the mind of Christ. This mind is characterized by unity (v. 2), humility (v. 3), and sensitivity (v.4). The idea of humility is developed in the hymn as God’s willingness to be involved with humanity un-folds. Jesus is described in verse 6 as continually existing in the form (\u003Cem>morphe\u003C\u002Fem>) of God. Gerald Hawthorne points out that&nbsp;\u003Cem>morphe&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>expresses the manner in which a\u003Cem>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>thing appears to human senses, and al-ways identifies the form that completely expresses that thing’s underlying being. Therefore, when applied to God the word refers to His essential being, to the actual nature and character of God.20\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Paul is clearly advancing the first-century Church’s understanding of Jesus in a unique and powerful manner. Dunn as-serts that “there was little or no good evidence from the period prior to Christianity’s beginning that the Ancient Near East seriously entertained the idea of a god or son of god descending from heaven to become a human being in order to bring men salvation, except perhaps at the level of popular pagan superstition.”21&nbsp;Yet this is exactly what Paul is saying. Though himself brought up and trained in the strict monotheism of rabbinic Judaism, Paul is compelled by his own encounter with and personal reflection on the risen Lord to affirm the essential deity of Jesus.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yet “equality with God” was not a right Christ felt He had to seize or acquire, since it was His by nature. So He emptied him-self and took the&nbsp;\u003Cem>morphe\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;of a&nbsp;\u003Cem>doulou\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;(v. 7). The parallel of&nbsp;\u003Cem>morphe theou\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;and&nbsp;\u003Cem>morphen\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;\u003Cem>doulou&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>is too striking to be accidental. Images of both an ambitious Satan and Adam certainly come to mind as each in his own way attempted, albeit unsuccessfully and tragically, to seize equality with God. A servant Christology shows a better way, and the text itself adequately ad-dresses what is involved in self-emptying (\u003Cem>kenoo\u003C\u002Fem>): (1) He took the form (\u003Cem>morphe\u003C\u002Fem>, “essential nature”) of a slave (\u003Cem>doulos\u003C\u002Fem>); (2) He was made in the likeness (\u003Cem>homoioma\u003C\u002Fem>) and fashion (\u003Cem>schema\u003C\u002Fem>) of a man; (3) He humbled Himself (cf. 2:3); (4) He became obedient unto death; and (5) He died on the cross.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>These verses reveal something about the very nature and being of our God. They demonstrate that it is of the very essence of this deity to give and to serve. The Son of God did not seize status. Rather, He served. He did not surrender His deity but He did add humanity. As Erickson notes, “The incarnation was more a gaining of human attributes than a giving up of divine attributes.”22&nbsp;Further, the type of humanity He added was not that of a sovereign, but that of a slave. He received not a crown, but a cross. Death is exactly what Christ endured. But it was not just any death, but death by means of an instrument that would move Cicero to write, “Let the very name of the cross be far away not only from the body of a Roman citizen, but even from his thoughts, his eyes, his ears” (\u003Cem>Pro Rabiro\u003C\u002Fem>, 5.10, 16).23\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Verses 9-11 express the divine economy and ordering of status. Theologically, “exaltation” grows out of humility and service. This is a principle of the kingdom, and one that is certainly neglected in American Christianity. Those who would be “super-exalted” (v.9) must first be super-abased. Believers are called to make themselves very low in humble, sacrificial service to others. Such servants embody what God intended humanity to be, be-cause, as William Hendricks has noted, Jesus models “what humanity ought to be and not what it has become.”24&nbsp;Jesus is our ultimate example (1 Co 1:11). As Erickson argues, “Jesus is not only human as we are; he is more than human. Our humanity is not a standard by which we are to measure his. His humanity, true and un-adulterated, is the standard by which we are to be measured.”25\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Christ humbled Himself, but was exalted by God. His acceptance of service unto death was His ultimate&nbsp;\u003Cem>yes\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;both to God and to a lost humanity. It was His ultimate act of obedience to His Father in self-giving, self-sacrificing, self-denying service to others.26&nbsp;Servant Christology calls us to serve others as our Lord has served us.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>III. Pillar Three: Cosmic Christology (Colossians 1:15-20)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As God-man, Jesus Christ defies simplistic explanation. The incomparable Christ transcends human wisdom. As Ben Witherington has written, “No one descriptive term or title adequately encompasses the man who fits no one formula.”27&nbsp;John calls Him the&nbsp;\u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem>. Philippians 2 identifies Him as the&nbsp;\u003Cem>morphe\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;of God. The hymn found in Colossians 1:15-20 introduces Cosmic Christianity through new, but related, concepts. Here Christ is the image (\u003Cem>eikon\u003C\u002Fem>) of God, the firstborn (\u003Cem>prototokos\u003C\u002Fem>) over the cosmos and the Church, the one in whom all the fullness (\u003Cem>pan pleroma\u003C\u002Fem>) of God dwells in a body (2:9-10). Of this text F. F. Bruce writes, “This is one of the great Christological pas-sages of the New Testament, declaring as it does our Lord’s divine essence, pre-existence, and creative agency.”28&nbsp;Bruce links its themes to John 1:1-4, Hebrews 1:2-4, and the Divine Wisdom motif of Proverbs 8:22-31. Cosmic Christianity is mentioned often in theological circles, but is seldom defined adequately. Its biblical warrant originates in this text, so any developing theology along this path should be firmly rooted here.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Paul’s thinking can be conceived as concentric circles of concern that began with the cosmic and the universal, but moved progressively inward first to the ecclesiastical, and finally to the personal. As the “image of the invisible God,” Christ makes visible the God no one has seen (cf. Jn 1:18). It could be said, “Christ is like God.” It could also be said, “God is like Christ.” That He is the visible manifestation of God is immediately and logically tied to His supremacy over three entities: (1) Creation (vv. 15-17), (2) the Church (vv. 18-20), and (3) the Christian (vv. 21-23). Christ is the Lord, the preeminent One, Whom each of these is to serve. His Lordship and supremacy is therefore cosmic, but it is equally personal. He is in no sense a part of creation, because He is its author in every detail. There is no room for pantheistic or panentheistic development. A finite theism is also clearly ruled out. The all-encompassing nature of His cosmic rule is made clear through the word “all,” which is used eight times in verses 15-20. Nothing is outside or beyond His sovereign Lordship. All of reality has been created by Him and for Him. Furthermore, whether it is creation, the Church or the Christian, as Lord, Christ sustains and maintains the existence of each as well. Christ is origin and goal, principle of cohesion and center, master of the visible and the invisible. Without Christ there would be no reality. Without Christ nothing would be, nor would any-thing exist.29&nbsp;Yet through the Son whom the Father loves (v. 13), the cosmos (material creation), the Church (spiritual creation), and the Christian (personal creation) have been brought under the sovereign rule of God. In the old creation and in the new creation, the One and all-sufficient “head” (a distinctively Pauline formulation), the Lord Jesus reigns supreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For the Church on the threshold of a new millennium, the import of a Cosmic Christology is staggering. Christ is to have first place in all things. His theology is to be our theology. His ethic is to be our ethic. His mind is to be our mind. His heart is to be our heart. Christ is to have sovereign control over His body, the Church, whether that body is manifested universally or locally. Its members, each one uniquely gifted for service (Ro 12, 1 Co 12, Eph 4, 1 Pe 4), are to be in absolute dependence upon and in complete surrender to Him for life, power, and mission. In all things, and in each individual, He and He alone is to be supreme.30\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>IV. Pillar Four: Revelational Christology (Hebrews 1:1-3)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Revelational Christology has usually been identified with Wolhart Pannenberg and his&nbsp;\u003Cem>Jesus - God and Man,\u003C\u002Fem>31&nbsp;where he argues that all of history is under God’s direction and is therefore a revelation of God.32&nbsp;It is important to examine Pannenberg’s underlying methodology. His fundamental belief is that Jesus is at the center of every Christian theology, and that human knowledge of God is only made possible through God’s revelation in Christ. Pannenberg asserts that “one can only speak about God himself in that at the same time one talks about Jesus.”33&nbsp;This basic principle reflects the fact that God desires to reveal Himself and has done so in the person of Jesus Christ. His-tory, therefore, is best conceived as the stage upon which the divine actor has played His role. A Revelational Christology, while cognizant of God’s mighty acts in history, focuses on the God who invaded history, the God who brought eternity into space\u002Ftime reality, the God who is the Lord of history. This emphasis on the God of history is the heart of Hebrews 1:1-3. Francis Schaeffer ex-presses the essence of this passage when he states “He [God] is there and He is not silent.”34&nbsp;William Lane writes that the author of Hebrews brings us “face-to-face with the God who speaks. He has repeat-edly taken the initiative to disclose him-self because he wants to be known.”35&nbsp;But in these last days He has spoken and dis-closed Himself decisively, climatically, even finally and for all time in the person of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of God’s determination to be known, we can genuinely and “truly truthfully” know God.

This is also what Christians in this anxious century need to know. Lane concludes, “The word that the Son spoke to them yesterday is the word that he speaks today. And the word that he speaks today is the word that he pledges tomorrow and forever . . . . His abiding, unchanging quality lends stability to men and women in a period marked by instability.”37\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conclusion\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>N. T. Wright has noted correctly “The historian&nbsp;of the first century . . . cannot shrink from the question of Jesus.”38&nbsp;Indeed, no one can shrink from the question of Jesus. What one thinks and believes about Jesus will impact any complete theological framework, any thoughtful worldview. As Wright comments, “If you see Jesus differently, everything changes.”39\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Melanchthon criticized speculative probing and reflection about God and the Christ arguing, “We do better to adore the mysteries of Deity than to investigate them . . . since to know Christ means to know his benefits, and not as they teach, to reflect upon his natures and the modes of his incarnation.”40&nbsp;But surely those who would give exclusive attention to such a dictum are destined for theological error. Clearly, the Spirit of God moved the authors of Holy Scripture to reflect upon the mystery of the incarnation. This fact is evident in the four pillars we have examined. They demonstrate that Jesus Christ is not only, “God for us,” He is also “God with us” (Mt 1:23). Athanasius, and later Anselm, saw clearly that Jesus had to be both fully God and perfect humanity in order to redeem lost humanity.41&nbsp;Christology and soteriology are forever wed. Christological investigation is no mere exercise in metaphysical musings. There is no access to the work of Christ apart from His person. One must know Christ to have access to His work.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Furthermore, the Jesus we so often read about today, one who is only a wise teacher, religious sage, political revolutionary, Jewish peasant, Cynic spinner of proverbs, or spirit-inspired guru is a Jesus far removed from biblical revelation and one who is spiritually bankrupt and totally insufficient to meet the deepest needs of hurting humanity. Such is a vision of a Christ who is totally inadequate to energize and mobilize the Church to be salt and light (Mt 5:13-16) in a world immersed in darkness. I. Howard Marshall gets to the heart of the matter when he argues, “The Christian faith has as its object the Jesus whose earthly life is a matter for historical investigation, but this investigation cannot be carried on in independence of faith . . . always [bear] in mind . . . that the Jesus of Christian belief is more than a merely historical figure .”42&nbsp;Marshall also points out that the early Church’s theological reflection was, in some sense, the inevitable outworking of its encounter with the risen Christ. He contends that upon careful examination the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith are one and the same. Marshall adds that\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>the object of . . . faith is . . . the Jesus whose existence and ministry have been confirmed and illuminated by historical research, but whose significance is only fully seen in the light of that experience of the risen Lord which had coloured the interpretation of Jesus offered in the Gospels and the rest of the New Testament and which continues to illuminate the mind of the believer. For as we have seen, ultimately the earthly Jesus is inadequate. Christian faith joyfully embraces the Jesus of the Bible, assured that the biblical accounts have a firm base in his-tory, but knowing that ‘the Jesus of the historians’ is not enough; only the biblical Jesus Christ, the earthly and the heavenly Lord, is adequate as the object of faith.43\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This is the foundation of a Christology for the twenty-first century. This is the Lord who can provide the only truly satisfying solutions for the cries and pains of a world at the precipice of destruction. This is the Lord of whom Dietrich Bonhoeffer could write,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They must come face to face with him. We may also have to come face to face with Goethe or Socrates. That is part of our culture and ethos. But far more depends upon our confronting Christ — life or death, salvation or damnation. . . it is seen that all rest upon the sentence, ‘And there is salvation in no one else’ (Acts 4:12). The encounter with Jesus is fundamentally different from that with Goethe or Socrates. One cannot avoid en-counter with the person of Jesus be-cause he is alive. With some care Goethe can be avoided, because he is dead. A thousandfold are the ways that men have used to resist or evade an encounter with Christ.44\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Heb 13:8, NKJV). This is the eternal, never-changing Christ for an ever-changing culture. Those who call Jesus “Lord” must be faithful to who He is, what he has done, and the task which He has assigned. Alistair McGrath describes this relationship when he observes, “In its deepest sense, the love of God for man is that of a God who stoops down from heaven to enter into the world of men, with all of its agony and pain, culminating in the grim cross of Calvary.”45&nbsp;Our great God and Savior has so loved us. Dare we love others any less? Dare we ignore the awesome responsibility that is ours? These four pillars, John 1:1-18, Philippians 2:6-11, Colossians 1:15-20 and Hebrews 1:1-3 form the solid foundation upon which any Christian orthodoxy must stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Originally published as Daniel L.

Sus seguidores han proclamado por fe lo que un día será evidente para todos. Todo poder terrenal y temporal reconocerá y estará sujeto a la majestad y al señorío soberano de Jesús. James D.G. Dunn aborda la importancia de Jesús para los creyentes del primer siglo y la naturaleza decisiva de su impacto en sus vidas cuando afirma que\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Algunos movimientos no tienen una figura dominante al principio; pero el cristianismo comenzó con Jesús. Y fue \u003Cem>el significado de Jesús\u003C\u002Fem>, de lo que él había dicho y hecho, junto con lo que los primeros cristianos entendieron que él era y había sido, que estaba haciendo y había hecho, lo que constituyó el factor más significativo en la autocomprensión en desarrollo de la nueva secta y en su sentido de distinción frente a las demás religiones, sectas y filosofías de la época.1\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Como comunidad de fe, la Iglesia sigue siendo la heraldora \u003Cem>del significado de Jesús\u003C\u002Fem>, proclamando \u003Cem>quién\u003C\u002Fem> es Él y \u003Cem>qué\u003C\u002Fem> ha hecho. En medio de un mundo en constante cambio, la Iglesia debe ser fiel en su testimonio de Jesús y su evangelio. A lo largo de la historia, la “esposa de Cristo” ha afirmado su fe mediante confesiones sencillas como Romanos 10:9 y mediante declaraciones credales más desarrolladas como el Credo Niceno (325 d.

Padeció y fue sepultado, y al tercer día resucitó según las Escrituras, y subió al cielo, y está sentado a la diestra del Padre.

En verdad, no hay cristianismo genuino que no se base en la verdad absoluta de Jesucristo como el Hijo encarnado de Dios. El Cuerpo de Cristo, si ha de ser la verdadera Iglesia de su Señor, debe proclamar y encarnar el evangelio de Cristo y al Cristo del evangelio a todas las personas. Está llamada a evangelizar a hombres y mujeres “de toda tribu, lengua, pueblo y nación” (Ap 5:9), abrazándolos en una comunidad amorosa de fe y discipulado bajo el señorío de Jesucristo. En obediencia a este mandato centrado en Cristo, la Iglesia se extiende a todos los que están en necesidad, especialmente a los marginados, los pobres, los oprimidos, los despreciados, los abusados y los que sufren. Porque su Salvador es el Salvador del mundo (1 Ti 4:10; 1 Jn 4:14), la Iglesia está llamada a ser una familia de diversidad que incluya personas de toda raza, color, clase y nación. Afirmamos que somos más fuertes y mejores juntos de lo que jamás podríamos ser separados.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Desafortunadamente, algo ha salido terriblemente mal. Vivimos en una cultura que se ha vuelto loca en su rebelión contra Dios. Hoy la Iglesia misma parece estar al borde de la locura, habiendo abandonado las reivindicaciones exclusivas de su Cristo y la instrucción de su Palabra. Hemos perdido nuestro rumbo y abandonado nuestras amarras. Trágicamente, el virus mortal de la modernidad ha infectado incluso al evangelicalismo. R. Albert Mohler afirma correctamente que\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>la unidad teológica que una vez marcó al movimiento ha dado paso a un pluralismo teológico… En efecto, a finales de la década de 1970 quedó claro que se estaban formando fisuras teológicas básicas… Aunque la división se originó en debates sobre el principio formal de las Escrituras, pronto se extendió a las doctrinas materiales, incluida la cristología, la expiación, la justificación y prácticamente todas las demás doctrinas principales.2\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>Mi principal preocupación es cómo se entenderá la Cristología (la persona y la obra de Jesucristo) en el futuro. George Barna ha señalado que, aunque la mayoría de los estadounidenses creen cosas buenas y positivas sobre Jesús, casi la mitad cree que Él pecó. Además, pseudoeruditos siguen inventando extrañas mezclas y fantasías sobre el Jesús histórico que son popularizadas por unos medios ingenuos y sensacionalistas, lo que lamentablemente genera una confusión significativa en la mayoría de los estadounidenses indiscriminados, la mayoría de los cuales son analfabetos en materia bíblica y teológica. Tales reinterpretaciones de Jesús no reconocen su importancia histórica. Jaroslav Pelikan ha dicho: «Independientemente de lo que cualquiera pueda pensar o creer personalmente sobre él, Jesús de Nazaret ha sido la figura dominante en la historia de la cultura occidental durante casi veinte siglos. . . . Es a partir de su nacimiento que la mayor parte de la raza humana data sus calendarios, es en su nombre que millones maldicen y en su nombre que millones oran».3\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Los cristianos creen que Jesús seguirá siendo la figura dominante del siglo XXI y de todos los siglos futuros. Sin embargo, si la Iglesia ha de mantener la fidelidad a «la fe que de una vez para siempre fue entregada a los santos» (Judas 3), el Jesús del siglo XXI debe ser el Jesús del siglo I. Nuestra cultura en constante cambio necesita al Cristo inmutable que solo puede proporcionar tanto el fundamento como la dirección para la fe y la práctica cristianas mientras la Iglesia enfrenta los desafíos de una nueva era. Cuatro pilares del Nuevo Testamento pueden proporcionar estabilidad a la Iglesia en los albores de un nuevo milenio, un tiempo en el que la Iglesia necesita ser recordada a la autoridad bíblica y cuando necesita definir y defender su fe con claridad y plenitud. Extraídos de la revelación integral del Nuevo Testamento, estos cuatro textos cristológicos clave muestran cómo conocer y adorar a Aquel a quien Agustín describió como «belleza siempre antigua, siempre nueva».4\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I. Pilar Uno: Cristología del Logos (Juan 1:1-18)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La Cristología del \u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem> se basa en el Prólogo del Evangelio de Juan (1:1-18), que ha sido un baluarte para la reflexión sobre varios temas teológicos cruciales por parte de varios pensadores importantes. Por ejemplo, Millard Erickson identifica cinco atributos y actividades atribuidos al \u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem>: (1) Preexistencia, (2) Deidad, (3) Obra creadora, (4) Encarnación y (5) Obra reveladora.5 Bernard Ramm ha escrito: «Ha sido enseñanza estándar en la Cristología histórica que el Logos, el Hijo, existió antes de la encarnación. . . la preexistencia es parte de la protología (“primeras cosas”) o la teología del principio».6 D. A. Carson abordó la importancia del título \u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem> cuando explicó que «el título que Juan resume para Jesús es la “Palabra”. Es una elección brillante. En el principio era la Palabra; en el principio Dios se expresó, si se quiere. Y esa Autoexpresión, la propia Palabra de Dios, identificada con Dios pero distinguible de él, se ha hecho ahora carne, la culminación de la esperanza profética».7\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Al usar \u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem>, Juan toma un término familiar del primer siglo y lo llena de nuevo significado. El \u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem> existió en el principio y es en cierto sentido distinto del Padre. Sin embargo, el \u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem> es Dios. Él es el miembro de la Trinidad que es el agente de la creación y la fuente tanto de la vida como de la luz. Él es el «unigénito» (\u003Cem>monogenes\u003C\u002Fem>) de Dios (1:14, 18; 3:16, 18; 1 Jn 4:9)8 que tomó carne (\u003Cem>sarx\u003C\u002Fem>), naturaleza humana aparte del pecado, y entró en la historia para revelar, literalmente para exégetar (\u003Cem>exegesato\u003C\u002Fem>, v. 18) al Dios invisible. El uso que Juan hace de \u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem> «parece implicar que la palabra de la que habla es esa palabra profética que sale de la boca de Dios para llevar a cabo la creación, el juicio, la redención y la renovación. Juan usa \u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem> porque es la palabra natural para expresar el significado de la palabra hebrea \u003Cem>dabar\u003C\u002Fem> cuando la palabra se usaba en el contexto de la revelación de Dios».9 Sin embargo, esta Palabra es más que una expresión verbal. Es una persona, y esa persona es el mismo Hijo de Dios. C. K. Barrett aclara el asunto cuando comenta: «Los hechos y las palabras de Jesús son los hechos y las palabras de Dios; si esto no fuera verdad, el libro [el Evangelio de Juan] sería blasfemo».10 La Cristología del \u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem> está enfocada ontológicamente, pues aborda la persona de Jesucristo más que su obra. La Cristología del \u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem> enfatiza cómo el Hijo de Dios es \u003Cem>diferente\u003C\u002Fem> de nosotros. Un enfoque en la encarnación, por otro lado, revela cómo Él se ha hecho \u003Cem>como\u003C\u002Fem> nosotros. Ambas verdades deben mantenerse en un delicado equilibrio.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La importancia de la doctrina de la encarnación no puede exagerarse. Es la expresión vital e innegociable del cristianismo ortodoxo histórico. B. B.

La importancia de esta rebelión se hace evidente de inmediato cuando reflexionamos que la doctrina de las Dos Naturalezas no es más que otra forma de afirmar la doctrina de la Encarnación; y la doctrina de la Encarnación es el eje sobre el que gira el sistema cristiano. Sin Dos Naturalezas, no hay Encarnación; sin Encarnación, no hay cristianismo en ningún sentido distintivo.11\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>Warfield sabía lo que estaba en juego.

Históricamente, esto significa que no solo la doctrina de las Dos Naturalezas ha sido la presuposición invariable de toda la enseñanza de la iglesia desde la época apostólica, sino que toda la enseñanza de la época apostólica descansa sobre ella como su presuposición universal.12\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>James D.

Seguramente Carl F. H.

[Pero] para un cristiano ortodoxo, la frase más importante en toda la historia intelectual es que ‘el Verbo se hizo carne’ (Juan 1:14)”.16 La identificación de Jesús como el Dios-hombre debe afirmarse al inicio de un nuevo siglo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>II.

Esta mente se caracteriza por la unidad (v. 2), la humildad (v. 3) y la sensibilidad (v.4). La idea de humildad se desarrolla en el himno a medida que se despliega la disposición de Dios a involucrarse con la humanidad. Jesús es descrito en el versículo 6 como existiendo continuamente en la forma (\u003Cem>morphe\u003C\u002Fem>) de Dios. Gerald Hawthorne señala que&nbsp;\u003Cem>morphe\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;expresa la manera en que una cosa aparece a los sentidos humanos, e identifica siempre la forma que expresa completamente el ser subyacente de esa cosa. Por lo tanto, cuando se aplica a Dios, la palabra se refiere a su ser esencial, a la naturaleza y carácter reales de Dios.20\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pablo está claramente avanzando la comprensión de la Iglesia del primer siglo sobre Jesús de una manera única y poderosa. Dunn afirma que “no había poca o ninguna evidencia sólida del período anterior al comienzo del cristianismo de que el Antiguo Oriente Próximo considerara seriamente la idea de un dios o hijo de dios descendiendo del cielo para convertirse en un ser humano con el fin de traer salvación a los hombres, excepto quizás al nivel de la superstición pagana popular”.21 Sin embargo, esto es exactamente lo que Pablo está diciendo. Aunque él mismo fue criado y formado en el estricto monoteísmo del judaísmo rabínico, Pablo se ve compelido por su propio encuentro y reflexión personal sobre el Señor resucitado a afirmar la deidad esencial de Jesús.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sin embargo, “la igualdad con Dios” no era un derecho que Cristo sintiera que tenía que arrebatar o adquirir, ya que le pertenecía por naturaleza. Así que se vació a sí mismo y tomó la&nbsp;\u003Cem>morphe\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;de un&nbsp;\u003Cem>doulou\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;(v. 7). El paralelo entre&nbsp;\u003Cem>morphe theou\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;y&nbsp;\u003Cem>morphen doulou\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;es demasiado llamativo para ser accidental. Las imágenes tanto de un Satanás ambicioso como de Adán ciertamente vienen a la mente, ya que cada uno, a su manera, intentó, aunque sin éxito y trágicamente, arrebatar la igualdad con Dios. Una cristología del siervo muestra un camino mejor, y el propio texto aborda adecuadamente lo que implica el vaciamiento (\u003Cem>kenoo\u003C\u002Fem>): (1) Tomó la forma (\u003Cem>morphe\u003C\u002Fem>, “naturaleza esencial”) de un esclavo (\u003Cem>doulos\u003C\u002Fem>); (2) Fue hecho en la semejanza (\u003Cem>homoioma\u003C\u002Fem>) y la moda (\u003Cem>schema\u003C\u002Fem>) de un hombre; (3) Se humilló a sí mismo (cf. 2:3); (4) Se hizo obediente hasta la muerte; y (5) Murió en la cruz.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Estos versículos revelan algo sobre la naturaleza y el ser mismo de nuestro Dios. Demuestran que es de la esencia misma de esta deidad dar y servir. El Hijo de Dios no buscó el estatus. Más bien, sirvió. No renunció a su deidad, pero sí añadió humanidad. Como señala Erickson, “La encarnación fue más una adquisición de atributos humanos que una renuncia a los atributos divinos.”22&nbsp;Además, el tipo de humanidad que añadió no fue la de un soberano, sino la de un esclavo. Recibió no una corona, sino una cruz. La muerte es exactamente lo que Cristo soportó. Pero no fue solo cualquier muerte, sino la muerte por medio de un instrumento que movería a Cicerón a escribir: “Que el mismo nombre de la cruz esté lejos no solo del cuerpo de un ciudadano romano, sino incluso de sus pensamientos, sus ojos, sus oídos” (\u003Cem>Pro Rabiro\u003C\u002Fem>, 5.10, 16).23\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Los versículos 9-11 expresan la economía divina y el ordenamiento del estatus. Teológicamente, la “exaltación” surge de la humildad y el servicio. Este es un principio del reino, y uno que ciertamente se descuida en el cristianismo estadounidense. Aquellos que serían “super-exaltados” (v.9) primero deben ser super-abajados. Los creyentes están llamados a hacerse muy bajos en un servicio humilde y sacrificial a los demás. Tales siervos encarnan lo que Dios pretendía que fuera la humanidad, porque, como ha señalado William Hendricks, Jesús modela “lo que la humanidad debería ser y no lo que se ha convertido.”24&nbsp;Jesús es nuestro ejemplo supremo (1 Co 1:11). Como argumenta Erickson, “Jesús no solo es humano como nosotros; es más que humano. Nuestra humanidad no es un estándar por el cual medir la suya. Su humanidad, verdadera y sin adulterar, es el estándar por el cual debemos ser medidos.”25\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cristo se humilló a sí mismo, pero fue exaltado por Dios. Su aceptación del servicio hasta la muerte fue su \u003Cem>sí\u003C\u002Fem> definitivo tanto a Dios como a una humanidad perdida. Fue su acto supremo de obediencia a su Padre en un servicio de entrega, sacrificio y negación de sí mismo a los demás.26&nbsp;La cristología del siervo nos llama a servir a los demás como nuestro Señor nos ha servido.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>III. Pilar Tres: Cristología Cósmica (Colosenses 1:15-20)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Como Dios-hombre, Jesucristo desafía toda explicación simplista. El Cristo incomparable trasciende la sabiduría humana. Como ha escrito Ben Witherington, “Ningún término o título descriptivo abarca adecuadamente al hombre que no encaja en ninguna fórmula.”27&nbsp;Juan lo llama el \u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem>. Filipenses 2 lo identifica como la \u003Cem>morphe\u003C\u002Fem> de Dios. El himno que se encuentra en Colosenses 1:15-20 introduce el cristianismo cósmico a través de conceptos nuevos, pero relacionados. Aquí Cristo es la imagen (\u003Cem>eikon\u003C\u002Fem>) de Dios, el primogénito (\u003Cem>prototokos\u003C\u002Fem>) sobre el cosmos y la Iglesia, aquel en quien habita toda la plenitud (\u003Cem>pan pleroma\u003C\u002Fem>) de Dios en un cuerpo (2:9-10). De este texto F. F. Bruce escribe: “Este es uno de los grandes pasajes cristológicos del Nuevo Testamento, que declara la esencia divina de nuestro Señor, su preexistencia y su agencia creadora.”28&nbsp;Bruce vincula sus temas con Juan 1:1-4, Hebreos 1:2-4 y el motivo de la Sabiduría Divina de Proverbios 8:22-31. El cristianismo cósmico se menciona a menudo en los círculos teológicos, pero rara vez se define adecuadamente. Su fundamento bíblico se origina en este texto, por lo que cualquier teología que se desarrolle en esta dirección debe estar firmemente arraigada aquí.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El pensamiento de Pablo puede concebirse como círculos concéntricos de preocupación que comenzaron con lo cósmico y lo universal, pero avanzaron progresivamente hacia adentro, primero a lo eclesial y finalmente a lo personal. Como “imagen del Dios invisible”, Cristo hace visible al Dios que nadie ha visto (cf. Jn 1:18). Podría decirse: “Cristo es como Dios”. También podría decirse: “Dios es como Cristo”. Que Él sea la manifestación visible de Dios está inmediata y lógicamente ligado a su supremacía sobre tres entidades: (1) la Creación (vv. 15-17), (2) la Iglesia (vv. 18-20), y (3) el Cristiano (vv. 21-23). Cristo es el Señor, el Preeminente, a Quien cada uno de estos debe servir. Su Señorío y supremacía son, por tanto, cósmicos, pero también son igualmente personales. Él no es en ningún sentido parte de la creación, porque es su autor en cada detalle. No hay lugar para un desarrollo panteísta o panenteísta. Un teísmo finito también queda claramente descartado. La naturaleza abarcadora de su dominio cósmico queda clara a través de la palabra “todo”, que se usa ocho veces en los versículos 15-20. Nada está fuera o más allá de su Señorío soberano. Toda la realidad ha sido creada por Él y para Él. Además, ya sea la creación, la Iglesia o el cristiano, como Señor, Cristo sostiene y mantiene la existencia de cada uno también. Cristo es origen y meta, principio de cohesión y centro, señor de lo visible y lo invisible. Sin Cristo no habría realidad. Sin Cristo nada sería, ni existiría nada.29&nbsp;Sin embargo, a través del Hijo a quien el Padre ama (v. 13), el cosmos (creación material), la Iglesia (creación espiritual) y el cristiano (creación personal) han sido puestos bajo el dominio soberano de Dios. En la vieja creación y en la nueva creación, la “cabeza” única y todopoderosa (una formulación distintivamente paulina), el Señor Jesús reina supremo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Para la Iglesia en el umbral de un nuevo milenio, la importancia de una Cristología Cósmica es abrumadora. Cristo debe tener el primer lugar en todas las cosas. Su teología debe ser nuestra teología. Su ética debe ser nuestra ética. Su mente debe ser nuestra mente. Su corazón debe ser nuestro corazón. Cristo debe tener el control soberano sobre su cuerpo, la Iglesia, ya sea que ese cuerpo se manifieste universal o localmente. Sus miembros, cada uno dotado de manera única para el servicio (Ro 12, 1 Co 12, Ef 4, 1 Pe 4), deben estar en absoluta dependencia y en completa entrega a Él para la vida, el poder y la misión. En todas las cosas, y en cada individuo, Él y solo Él debe ser supremo.30\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>IV. Pilar Cuatro: Cristología Revelacional (Hebreos 1:1-3)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La Cristología revelacional se ha identificado habitualmente con Wolhart Pannenberg y su&nbsp;\u003Cem>Jesús: Dios y hombre,\u003C\u002Fem>31&nbsp;donde argumenta que toda la historia está bajo la dirección de Dios y es, por tanto, una revelación de Dios.32&nbsp;Es importante examinar la metodología subyacente de Pannenberg. Su creencia fundamental es que Jesús está en el centro de toda teología cristiana, y que el conocimiento humano de Dios solo es posible a través de la revelación de Dios en Cristo. Pannenberg afirma que “solo se puede hablar de Dios mismo cuando al mismo tiempo se habla de Jesús”.33&nbsp;Este principio básico refleja el hecho de que Dios desea revelarse a Sí mismo y lo ha hecho en la persona de Jesucristo. La historia, por tanto, se concibe mejor como el escenario en el que el actor divino ha interpretado su papel. Una Cristología revelacional, aunque consciente de los poderosos actos de Dios en la historia, se centra en el Dios que invadió la historia, el Dios que introdujo la eternidad en la realidad del espacio-tiempo, el Dios que es el Señor de la historia. Este énfasis en el Dios de la historia es el corazón de Hebreos 1:1-3. Francis Schaeffer expresa la esencia de este pasaje cuando afirma: “Él [Dios] está ahí y no guarda silencio”.34&nbsp;William Lane escribe que el autor de Hebreos nos pone “cara a cara con el Dios que habla. Ha tomado repetidamente la iniciativa de revelarse a sí mismo porque quiere ser conocido”.35&nbsp;Pero en estos últimos días ha hablado y se ha revelado a sí mismo de manera decisiva, culminante, incluso final y para siempre en la persona de su Hijo, nuestro Señor Jesucristo. Debido a la determinación de Dios de ser conocido, podemos conocer a Dios genuina y “verdaderamente”. En una época en que muchas personas enfatizan la&nbsp;\u003Cem>ausencia\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;de Dios y el&nbsp;\u003Cem>silencio\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;de Dios, Hebreos 1 es un correctivo muy necesario para quienes están obsesionados con el&nbsp;\u003Cem>deus\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;\u003Cem>absconditus\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;(“el Dios oculto”).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lane subraya el hecho importante de “que era necesario que Dios y la familia humana pudieran hablar el mismo idioma”. En la persona de su Hijo, el Señor habló a través de uno que es:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>1) heredero designado de todas las cosas (v. 2);\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>2) por medio de quien hizo los universos (lit. “edades”, v. 2);\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>3) el resplandor de la gloria de Dios (v. 3);\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>4) la representación exacta de su ser (v. 3);\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>5) sustentando todas las cosas con su poderosa palabra (v. 3);\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>6) la purificación de nuestros pecados (v. 3); y\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>7) se sentó a la derecha de la Majestad en los cielos (v. 3).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dios ha satisfecho nuestra necesidad de conocerlo “con nuestros sentidos: para verlo, escucharlo, tocarlo . . . . Como los patrones alternantes de un caleidoscopio que se gira en la mano, se nos pide que consideremos a Jesús que es el Hijo eterno, Jesús que es el Hijo encarnado, Jesús que es el Hijo exaltado”.36\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Esta información es lo que los cristianos del turbulento primer siglo necesitaban saber. Esto es también lo que los cristianos de este siglo ansioso necesitan saber. Lane concluye: “La palabra que el Hijo les habló ayer es la palabra que les habla hoy. Y la palabra que les habla hoy es la palabra que les promete mañana y para siempre . . . . Su calidad permanente e inmutable da estabilidad a hombres y mujeres en un período marcado por la inestabilidad”.37\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conclusión\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>N. T. Wright ha señalado correctamente que “El historiador del primer siglo . . . no puede eludir la cuestión de Jesús”.38&nbsp;En efecto, nadie puede eludir la cuestión de Jesús. Lo que uno piensa y cree acerca de Jesús impactará cualquier marco teológico completo, cualquier cosmovisión reflexiva. Como comenta Wright, “Si ves a Jesús de manera diferente, todo cambia”.39\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Melanchthon criticó la especulación y la reflexión sobre Dios y Cristo argumentando: “Hacemos mejor en adorar los misterios de la Deidad que investigarlos . . . ya que conocer a Cristo significa conocer sus beneficios, y no, como enseñan ellos, reflexionar sobre sus naturalezas y los modos de su encarnación”.40&nbsp;Pero seguramente aquellos que darían atención exclusiva a tal dictamen están destinados al error teológico. Claramente, el Espíritu de Dios movió a los autores de la Sagrada Escritura a reflexionar sobre el misterio de la encarnación. Este hecho es evidente en los cuatro pilares que hemos examinado. Demuestran que Jesucristo no es solo “Dios para nosotros”, sino también “Dios con nosotros” (Mt 1:23). Atanasio, y más tarde Anselmo, vieron claramente que Jesús tenía que ser tanto plenamente Dios como humanidad perfecta para redimir a la humanidad perdida.41&nbsp;La Cristología y la soteriología están unidas para siempre. La investigación cristológica no es un mero ejercicio de reflexiones metafísicas. No hay acceso a la obra de Cristo aparte de su persona. Es necesario conocer a Cristo para tener acceso a su obra.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Además, el Jesús que tan a menudo leemos hoy, uno que es solo un sabio maestro, un sabio religioso, un revolucionario político, un campesino judío, un cínico hilador de proverbios o un gurú inspirado por el espíritu, es un Jesús muy alejado de la revelación bíblica y que es espiritualmente vacío y totalmente insuficiente para satisfacer las necesidades más profundas de la humanidad doliente. Tal es la visión de un Cristo que es totalmente inadecuado para energizar y movilizar a la Iglesia para ser sal y luz (Mt 5:13-16) en un mundo sumido en la oscuridad. I. Howard Marshall llega al corazón del asunto cuando argumenta: “La fe cristiana tiene como objeto al Jesús cuya vida terrenal es materia de investigación histórica, pero esta investigación no puede llevarse a cabo independientemente de la fe . . . teniendo siempre en mente . . . que el Jesús de la creencia cristiana es más que una mera figura histórica”.42&nbsp;Marshall también señala que la reflexión teológica de la Iglesia primitiva fue, en cierto sentido, el inevitable resultado de su encuentro con el Cristo resucitado. Sostiene que, tras un examen cuidadoso, el Jesús de la historia y el Cristo de la fe son uno y el mismo. Marshall añade que\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>el objeto de . . . la fe es . . . el Jesús cuya existencia y ministerio han sido confirmados e iluminados por la investigación histórica, pero cuya significación solo se ve plenamente a la luz de esa experiencia del Señor resucitado que ha coloreado la interpretación de Jesús ofrecida en los Evangelios y el resto del Nuevo Testamento y que continúa iluminando la mente del creyente. Porque, como hemos visto, en última instancia el Jesús terrenal es inadecuado. La fe cristiana abraza gozosamente al Jesús de la Biblia, segura de que los relatos bíblicos tienen una base firme en la historia, pero sabiendo que «el Jesús de los historiadores» no es suficiente; solo el Jesús Cristo bíblico, el Señor terrenal y celestial, es adecuado como objeto de fe.43\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Esta es la base de una cristología para el siglo veintiuno. Este es el Señor que puede proporcionar las únicas soluciones verdaderamente satisfactorias para los clamores y dolores de un mundo al borde de la destrucción. Este es el Señor del que Dietrich Bonhoeffer pudo escribir,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Deben enfrentarse a él. También nosotros podemos tener que enfrentarnos a Goethe o a Sócrates. Eso forma parte de nuestra cultura y nuestro ethos. Pero mucho más depende de nuestro enfrentamiento con Cristo — vida o muerte, salvación o condenación. . . se ve que todo descansa sobre la frase: «Y en ningún otro hay salvación» (Hechos 4:12). El encuentro con Jesús es fundamentalmente diferente del que se tiene con Goethe o Sócrates. Uno no puede evitar el encuentro con la persona de Jesús porque él está vivo. Con cierto cuidado se puede evitar a Goethe, porque está muerto. Mil veces son las maneras que los hombres han usado para resistir o evadir un encuentro con Cristo.44\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>«Jesucristo es el mismo ayer, hoy y por siempre» (Heb 13:8, RVR1960). Este es el Cristo eterno e inmutable para una cultura siempre cambiante. Aquellos que llaman a Jesús «Señor» deben ser fieles a quién es Él, lo que ha hecho y la tarea que Él ha asignado. Alistair McGrath describe esta relación cuando observa: «En su sentido más profundo, el amor de Dios por el hombre es el de un Dios que se inclina desde el cielo para entrar en el mundo de los hombres, con toda su agonía y dolor, culminando en la cruz sombría del Calvario».45&nbsp;Nuestro gran Dios y Salvador nos ha amado tanto. ¿Nos atrevemos a amar a los demás menos? ¿Nos atrevemos a ignorar la tremenda responsabilidad que es nuestra? Estos cuatro pilares, Juan 1:1-18, Filipenses 2:6-11, Colosenses 1:15-20 y Hebreos 1:1-3, forman el fundamento sólido sobre el cual debe descansar cualquier ortodoxia cristiana.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Publicado originalmente como Daniel L.

J.-C.), où l’Église a affirmé que le Seigneur Jésus est\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>à la fois parfait en divinité et parfait en humanité, vraiment Dieu et vraiment homme, composé aussi d’une âme raisonnable et d’un corps ; de même substance [\u003Cem>homoousios\u003C\u002Fem>] que le Père en ce qui concerne sa divinité, et en même temps de même substance [\u003Cem>homoousios\u003C\u002Fem>] que nous en ce qui concerne son humanité ; semblable à nous en toutes choses, excepté le péché ; en ce qui concerne sa divinité, engendré du Père avant les siècles, mais en ce qui concerne son humanité engendré, pour nous hommes et pour notre salut, de Marie la Vierge. . . un seul et même Christ, Fils, Seigneur, Unique-engendré, reconnu en deux natures, sans confusion, sans changement, sans division, sans séparation ; la distinction des natures n’étant en aucune façon annulée par l’union, mais plutôt les caractéristiques de chaque nature préservées et se réunissant pour former une seule personne et hypostase [\u003Cem>hupostasis\u003C\u002Fem>], non pas divisé ou séparé en deux personnes, mais un seul et même Fils et Dieu le Verbe Unique-engendré, Seigneur Jésus-Christ ; comme les prophètes dès les temps anciens l’ont annoncé, et comme notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ lui-même nous l’a enseigné.…\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il a été la conviction des chrétiens fidèles depuis la fondation de l’Église que négliger ou compromettre de telles confessions orthodoxes équivaut à trahir le Seigneur. En effet, il n’y a pas de christianisme authentique autre que celui fondé sur la vérité absolue de Jésus-Christ en tant que Fils incarné de Dieu. Le Corps du Christ, s’il doit être la véritable Église de son Seigneur, doit proclamer et incarner l’Évangile du Christ et le Christ de l’Évangile à tous les peuples. Il est appelé à évangéliser les hommes et les femmes « de toute tribu, langue, peuple et nation » (Ap 5:9), les accueillant dans une communauté aimante de foi et de discipleship sous la Seigneurie de Jésus-Christ. En obéissance à ce mandat centré sur le Christ, l’Église s’étend à tous ceux qui sont dans le besoin, en particulier les démunis, les pauvres, les opprimés, les méprisés, les maltraités et les souffrants. Parce que son Sauveur est le Sauveur du monde (1 Ti 4:10 ; 1 Jn 4:14), l’Église est appelée à être une famille de diversité qui inclut des personnes de toute race, couleur, classe et nation. Nous affirmons que nous sommes plus forts et meilleurs ensemble que nous ne pourrions jamais l’être séparément.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Malheureusement, quelque chose a terriblement mal tourné. Nous vivons dans une culture qui est devenue folle dans sa rébellion contre Dieu. Aujourd’hui, l’Église elle-même semble au bord de la folie, ayant abandonné les revendications exclusives de son Christ et l’enseignement de Sa Parole. Nous avons perdu notre chemin et abandonné nos amarres. Tragiquement, le virus mortel de la modernité a même infecté l’évangélisme. R. Albert Mohler affirme à juste titre que\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>l’unité théologique qui caractérisait autrefois le mouvement a cédé la place à un pluralisme théologique . . . . En effet, à la fin des années 1970, il était clair que des fissures théologiques fondamentales se formaient . . . . Bien que la division ait pris naissance dans des débats sur le principe formel de l’Écriture, elle s’est rapidement étendue aux doctrines matérielles, y compris la christologie, l’expiation, la justification et pratiquement toutes les autres doctrines majeures.2\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ma principale préoccupation concerne la manière dont la christologie (la personne et l’œuvre de Jésus-Christ) sera comprise à l’avenir. George Barna a noté que si la plupart des Américains croient des choses bonnes et positives à propos de Jésus, près de la moitié croient qu’Il a péché. De plus, des pseudo-érudits continuent de concocter des mélanges et des fantasmes bizarres sur le Jésus historique, popularisés par des médias naïfs et sensationnalistes, ce qui entraîne malheureusement une confusion importante pour la majorité des Américains indifférents, dont la plupart sont illettrés sur le plan biblique et théologique. De telles réinterprétations de Jésus ne reconnaissent pas son importance historique. Jaroslav Pelikan a déclaré : « Indépendamment de ce que quiconque peut personnellement penser ou croire à son sujet, Jésus de Nazareth a été la figure dominante de l’histoire de la culture occidentale pendant près de vingt siècles. . . . C’est à partir de sa naissance que la majeure partie de l’humanité date ses calendriers, c’est par son nom que des millions maudissent et c’est en son nom que des millions prient. »3\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les chrétiens croient que Jésus continuera d’être la figure dominante du vingt et unième siècle, et de chaque siècle futur. Si l’Église doit maintenir sa fidélité à « la foi qui a été transmise aux saints une fois pour toutes » (Jude 3), cependant, le Jésus du vingt et unième siècle doit être le Jésus du premier siècle. Notre culture en constante évolution a besoin du Christ immuable qui seul peut fournir à la fois le fondement et la direction pour la foi et la pratique chrétiennes alors que l’Église fait face aux défis d’une nouvelle ère. Quatre piliers du Nouveau Testament peuvent apporter une stabilité à l’Église à l’aube d’un nouveau millénaire, une époque où l’Église a besoin d’être rappelée à l’autorité biblique, et où elle doit définir et défendre sa foi clairement et pleinement. Tirés de la révélation complète du Nouveau Testament, ces quatre textes christologiques clés montrent comment connaître et adorer Celui que Augustin a décrit comme « beauté toujours ancienne, toujours nouvelle ».4\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I. Premier pilier : la christologie du Logos (Jean 1:1-18)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La christologie du \u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem> est fondée sur le Prologue de l’Évangile de Jean (1:1-18), qui a été un rempart pour la réflexion sur un certain nombre de thèmes théologiques cruciaux par plusieurs penseurs importants. Par exemple, Millard Erickson identifie cinq attributs et activités attribués au \u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem> : (1) la préexistence, (2) la divinité, (3) l’œuvre créatrice, (4) l’incarnation et (5) l’œuvre révélatrice.5 Bernard Ramm a écrit : « Il a été un enseignement standard de la christologie historique que le Logos, le Fils, existait avant l’incarnation. . . la préexistence fait partie de la protologie (« premières choses ») ou de la théologie du commencement. »6 D. A. Carson a abordé la signification du titre \u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem> lorsqu’il a expliqué que « le titre récapitulatif de Jean pour Jésus est la “Parole”. C’est un choix brillant. Au commencement était la Parole ; au commencement Dieu s’exprimait, si vous voulez. Et cette Auto-Expression, la propre Parole de Dieu, identifiée à Dieu tout en étant distincte de lui, est maintenant devenue chair, l’aboutissement de l’espérance prophétique. »7\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En utilisant \u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem>, Jean prend un terme familier du premier siècle et lui donne un nouveau sens. Le \u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem> existait au commencement et est en quelque sorte distinct du Père. Pourtant le \u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem> est Dieu. Il est le membre de la Trinité qui est l’agent de la création et la source à la fois de la vie et de la lumière. Il est le « Fils unique » (\u003Cem>monogenes\u003C\u002Fem>) de Dieu (1:14, 18; 3:16, 18; 1 Jn 4:9)8 qui a pris chair (\u003Cem>sarx\u003C\u002Fem>), la nature humaine sans péché, et est entré dans l’histoire pour révéler, littéralement pour exégéter (\u003Cem>exegesato\u003C\u002Fem>, v. 18) le Dieu invisible. L’utilisation par Jean du terme \u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem> « semble impliquer que la parole dont il parle est cette parole prophétique qui sort de la bouche de Dieu pour accomplir la création, le jugement, la rédemption et le renouvellement. Jean utilise \u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem> parce que c’est le mot naturel pour exprimer le sens du mot hébreu \u003Cem>dabar\u003C\u002Fem> lorsque ce mot était utilisé dans le contexte de la révélation de Dieu. »9 Pourtant cette Parole est plus qu’une expression verbale. Il est une personne, et cette personne est le Fils même de Dieu. C. K. Barrett clarifie la question lorsqu’il remarque : « Les actes et les paroles de Jésus sont les actes et les paroles de Dieu ; si cela n’est pas vrai, le livre [l’Évangile de Jean] est blasphématoire. »10 La christologie du \u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem> est centrée sur l’ontologie, car elle s’adresse à la personne de Jésus-Christ plutôt qu’à son œuvre. La christologie du \u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem> souligne en quoi le Fils de Dieu est \u003Cem>différent\u003C\u002Fem> de nous. Un accent sur l’incarnation, en revanche, révèle comment Il est devenu \u003Cem>comme\u003C\u002Fem> nous. Ces deux vérités doivent être maintenues dans un équilibre délicat.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>L’importance de la doctrine de l’incarnation ne peut être surestimée. C’est l’expression vitale et non négociable du christianisme orthodoxe historique. B. B. Warfield a affirmé le caractère central de cette formule essentielle alors même que le compromis théologique balayait la fin du dix-neuvième siècle :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>L’un des symptômes les plus inquiétants du déclin de la sympathie vitale envers le christianisme historique observable dans les milieux universitaires actuels est la tendance répandue dans la discussion christologique récente à se révolter contre la doctrine des Deux Natures dans la Personne du Christ. La signification de cette révolte devient immédiatement apparente lorsque nous réfléchissons que la doctrine des Deux Natures n’est qu’une autre manière d’énoncer la doctrine de l’Incarnation ; et la doctrine de l’Incarnation est le pivot sur lequel tourne le système chrétien. Pas de Deux Natures, pas d’Incarnation ; pas d’Incarnation, pas de christianisme au sens distinctif.11\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>Warfield savait ce qui était en jeu. Il réalisa que la doctrine de l’incarnation du Fils de Dieu imprégnait le Nouveau Testament et ne pouvait être rejetée sans conséquences dévastatrices. Ainsi, il conclut que\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>la doctrine des Deux Natures du Christ n’est pas seulement la synthèse de l’enseignement du Nouveau Testament, mais la conception qui sous-tend chacun des écrits du Nouveau Testament . . . elle n’est pas seulement l’enseignement du Nouveau Testament dans son ensemble, mais de l’ensemble du Nouveau Testament, partie par partie. Historiquement, cela signifie que non seulement la doctrine des Deux Natures a été la présupposition invariable de tout l’enseignement de l’Église depuis l’âge apostolique, mais que tout l’enseignement de l’âge apostolique repose sur elle comme sa présupposition universelle.12\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>James D. G. Dunn est conduit par les preuves historiques à affirmer,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il n’y avait aucun doute dans mon esprit que la doctrine de l’incarnation s’exprime clairement dans le Nouveau Testament – du moins dans un sens qui préfigure clairement la croissance ou l’évolution ultérieure vers la doctrine pleinement développée des déclarations confessionnelles chrétiennes historiques. À presque tous égards, Jean 1:14 se classe comme une formulation classique de la croyance chrétienne en Jésus comme Dieu incarné.13\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Professer que Jésus de Nazareth était Dieu devenu homme est une affirmation stupéfiante. Pourtant, l’expérience de l’Église avec Jésus a poussé un groupe de Juifs du premier siècle à cette confession surprenante. Certains critiques modernes nient ce principe fondamental du christianisme orthodoxe. Les auteurs de&nbsp;\u003Cem>The Myth of&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cem>God Incarnate\u003C\u002Fem>14\u003Cem>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>et les participants au « Jesus Seminar » ne sont que quelques promoteurs d’un mouvement qui se trouve déjà en marge de la recherche chrétienne. D’autres experts peuvent chercher à redéfinir&nbsp;\u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;et l’incarnation. Ceux qui sont désormais séduits par la « christologie de l’Esprit »15&nbsp;entrent dans cette description. Certes, Carl F. H. Henry a raison lorsqu’il affirme que « plus que tout autre siècle depuis les débuts du christianisme, notre siècle semble confus quant à l’identité de Jésus et incertain même de ce que le Nazaréen pensait de lui-même et de son rôle dans le monde . . . [Mais] pour un chrétien orthodoxe, la phrase la plus importante de toute l’histoire intellectuelle est celle-ci : “le Verbe s’est fait chair” (Jean 1:14) ».16&nbsp;L’identification de Jésus comme l’Homme-Dieu doit être affirmée au début d’un nouveau siècle.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>II. Deuxième pilier : la christologie du Serviteur (Philippiens 2:6-11)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>L’hymne christologique de Philippiens 2:6-11 a été qualifié de « joyau christologique sans pareil dans le Nouveau Testament ».17&nbsp;Avec un langage proche du Chant du Serviteur d’Ésaïe 52:13 – 53:12 et du lavement des pieds des disciples en Jean 13:3-17, Paul présente Jésus « comme l’exemple suprême d’un service humble, sacrificiel, renonçant à soi-même et donné à autrui. . . ».18&nbsp;L’hymne est ancré dans une préoccupation éthique, mais s’étend également à la christologie et à la sotériologie. C’est toutefois l’accent éthique qui constitue le point focal de la « christologie du Serviteur ».\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le verset cinq ordonne19&nbsp;aux croyants d’avoir la pensée du Christ. Cette pensée se caractérise par l’unité (v. 2), l’humilité (v. 3) et la sensibilité (v.4). L’idée d’humilité se développe dans l’hymne à mesure que la volonté de Dieu de s’impliquer auprès de l’humanité se déploie. Jésus est décrit au verset 6 comme existant continuellement dans la forme (\u003Cem>morphe\u003C\u002Fem>) de Dieu. Gerald Hawthorne souligne que&nbsp;\u003Cem>morphe&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>exprime la manière dont une\u003Cem>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>chose apparaît aux sens humains, et identifie toujours la forme qui exprime complètement l’être sous-jacent de cette chose. Par conséquent, lorsqu’il est appliqué à Dieu, le mot désigne son être essentiel, la nature et le caractère réels de Dieu.20\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Paul fait avancer de manière unique et puissante la compréhension de Jésus par l’Église du premier siècle. Dunn affirme que « il n’y avait que peu ou pas de preuves solides de la période antérieure au début du christianisme indiquant que le Proche-Orient ancien envisageait sérieusement l’idée d’un dieu ou d’un fils de dieu descendant du ciel pour devenir un être humain afin d’apporter le salut aux hommes, sauf peut-être au niveau des superstitions païennes populaires ».21&nbsp;Pourtant, c’est exactement ce que Paul affirme. Bien qu’élevé et formé dans le strict monothéisme du judaïsme rabbinique, Paul est contraint par sa propre rencontre avec le Seigneur ressuscité et par sa réflexion personnelle sur lui d’affirmer la divinité essentielle de Jésus.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pourtant, « l’égalité avec Dieu » n’était pas un droit que le Christ estimait devoir saisir ou acquérir, puisqu’elle lui appartenait par nature. Il s’est donc vidé lui-même et a pris la&nbsp;\u003Cem>morphe\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;d’un&nbsp;\u003Cem>doulou\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;(v. 7). Le parallèle entre&nbsp;\u003Cem>morphe theou\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;et&nbsp;\u003Cem>morphen\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;\u003Cem>doulou&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>est trop frappant pour être accidentel. Les images d’un Satan ambitieux et d’Adam viennent certainement à l’esprit, chacun ayant tenté, bien que sans succès et tragiquement, de s’emparer de l’égalité avec Dieu. Une christologie du Serviteur montre une meilleure voie, et le texte lui-même traite adéquatement ce qu’implique le fait de se vider (\u003Cem>kenoo\u003C\u002Fem>) : (1) Il a pris la forme (\u003Cem>morphe\u003C\u002Fem>, « nature essentielle ») d’un esclave (\u003Cem>doulos\u003C\u002Fem>) ; (2) Il a été fait à la ressemblance (\u003Cem>homoioma\u003C\u002Fem>) et à la mode (\u003Cem>schema\u003C\u002Fem>) d’un homme ; (3) Il s’est humilié (cf. 2:3) ; (4) Il est devenu obéissant jusqu’à la mort ; et (5) Il est mort sur la croix.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ces versets révèlent quelque chose sur la nature même et l’être de notre Dieu. Ils démontrent que c’est de l’essence même de cette divinité que de donner et de servir. Le Fils de Dieu ne s’est pas emparé du statut. Au contraire, Il a servi. Il n’a pas renoncé à Sa divinité, mais Il a ajouté l’humanité. Comme le note Erickson, « L’incarnation était davantage un gain d’attributs humains qu’un abandon d’attributs divins. »22&nbsp;De plus, le type d’humanité qu’Il a ajouté n’était pas celui d’un souverain, mais celui d’un esclave. Il n’a pas reçu une couronne, mais une croix. La mort est exactement ce que Christ a enduré. Mais ce n’était pas n’importe quelle mort, mais la mort par un instrument qui amènerait Cicéron à écrire : « Que le nom même de la croix soit loin non seulement du corps d’un citoyen romain, mais même de ses pensées, de ses yeux, de ses oreilles » (\u003Cem>Pro Rabiro\u003C\u002Fem>, 5.10, 16).23\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les versets 9-11 expriment l’économie divine et l’ordonnancement du statut. Théologiquement, « l’exaltation » découle de l’humilité et du service. C’est un principe du royaume, et l’un de ceux qui sont certainement négligés dans le christianisme américain. Ceux qui seraient « super-exaltés » (v.9) doivent d’abord être super-abaissés. Les croyants sont appelés à s’abaisser profondément dans un service humble et sacrificiel envers les autres. De tels serviteurs incarnent ce que Dieu a voulu que l’humanité soit, car, comme l’a noté William Hendricks, Jésus modèle « ce que l’humanité devrait être et non ce qu’elle est devenue ».24&nbsp;Jésus est notre exemple ultime (1 Co 1:11). Comme l’argumente Erickson, « Jésus n’est pas seulement humain comme nous le sommes ; Il est plus qu’humain. Notre humanité n’est pas une norme par laquelle nous devons mesurer la Sienne. Son humanité, vraie et non altérée, est la norme par laquelle nous devons être mesurés ».25\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Christ s’est humilié, mais a été exalté par Dieu. Son acceptation du service jusqu’à la mort fut Son ultime&nbsp;\u003Cem>oui\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;à la fois à Dieu et à une humanité perdue. Ce fut Son acte ultime d’obéissance à Son Père dans un service de don de soi, de sacrifice de soi, de renoncement à soi envers les autres.26&nbsp;La christologie du serviteur nous appelle à servir les autres comme notre Seigneur nous a servis.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>III. Troisième pilier : la christologie cosmique (Colossiens 1:15-20)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En tant que Dieu-homme, Jésus-Christ défie toute explication simpliste. Le Christ incomparable transcende la sagesse humaine. Comme l’a écrit Ben Witherington, « Aucun terme descriptif ou titre ne peut adéquatement englober l’homme qui ne correspond à aucune formule unique ».27&nbsp;Jean L’appelle le&nbsp;\u003Cem>Logos\u003C\u002Fem>. Philippiens 2 L’identifie comme la&nbsp;\u003Cem>morphe\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;de Dieu. L’hymne trouvé dans Colossiens 1:15-20 introduit le christianisme cosmique à travers des concepts nouveaux, mais apparentés. Ici, Christ est l’image (\u003Cem>eikon\u003C\u002Fem>) de Dieu, le premier-né (\u003Cem>prototokos\u003C\u002Fem>) sur le cosmos et l’Église, celui en qui toute la plénitude (\u003Cem>pan pleroma\u003C\u002Fem>) de Dieu habite dans un corps (2:9-10). De ce texte, F. F. Bruce écrit : « C’est l’un des grands passages christologiques du Nouveau Testament, déclarant comme il le fait l’essence divine de notre Seigneur, Sa préexistence et Son action créatrice ».28&nbsp;Bruce relie ses thèmes à Jean 1:1-4, Hébreux 1:2-4, et au motif de la Sagesse divine de Proverbes 8:22-31. Le christianisme cosmique est souvent mentionné dans les cercles théologiques, mais il est rarement défini de manière adéquate. Son fondement biblique trouve son origine dans ce texte, donc toute théologie qui se développe dans cette voie devrait y être fermement ancrée.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La pensée de Paul peut être conçue comme des cercles concentriques de préoccupation qui ont commencé par le cosmique et l’universel, mais se sont progressivement déplacés vers l’intérieur d’abord vers l’ecclésiastique, et enfin vers le personnel. En tant qu’« image du Dieu invisible », Christ rend visible le Dieu que personne n’a vu (cf. Jn 1:18). On pourrait dire : « Christ est comme Dieu ». On pourrait aussi dire : « Dieu est comme Christ ». Le fait qu’Il soit la manifestation visible de Dieu est immédiatement et logiquement lié à Sa suprématie sur trois entités : (1) la Création (vv. 15-17), (2) l’Église (vv. 18-20), et (3) le chrétien (vv. 21-23). Christ est le Seigneur, le Prééminent, Que chacun de ceux-ci doit servir. Sa Seigneurie et Sa suprématie sont donc cosmiques, mais elles sont également personnelles. Il n’est en aucun sens une partie de la création, car Il en est l’auteur dans tous les détails. Il n’y a pas de place pour un développement panthéiste ou panenthéiste. Un théisme fini est également clairement exclu. La nature tout-enveloppante de Sa règle cosmique est rendue claire par le mot « tout », qui est utilisé huit fois dans les versets 15-20. Rien n’est en dehors ou au-delà de Sa Seigneurie souveraine. Toute la réalité a été créée par Lui et pour Lui. De plus, qu’il s’agisse de la création, de l’Église ou du chrétien, en tant que Seigneur, Christ soutient et maintient également l’existence de chacun. Christ est l’origine et le but, le principe de cohésion et le centre, le maître du visible et de l’invisible. Sans Christ, il n’y aurait pas de réalité. Sans Christ, rien ne serait, ni rien n’existerait.29&nbsp;Pourtant, par le Fils que le Père aime (v. 13), le cosmos (création matérielle), l’Église (création spirituelle), et le chrétien (création personnelle) ont été placés sous la règle souveraine de Dieu. Dans l’ancienne création et dans la nouvelle création, le « chef » unique et tout-suffisant (une formulation distinctement paulinienne), le Seigneur Jésus règne en suprême.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pour l’Église au seuil d’un nouveau millénaire, l’importance d’une christologie cosmique est stupéfiante. Christ doit avoir la première place en toutes choses. Sa théologie doit être notre théologie. Son éthique doit être notre éthique. Son esprit doit être notre esprit. Son cœur doit être notre cœur. Christ doit avoir le contrôle souverain sur Son corps, l’Église, que ce corps soit manifesté universellement ou localement. Ses membres, chacun doté de manière unique pour le service (Ro 12, 1 Co 12, Eph 4, 1 Pi 4), doivent être dans une dépendance absolue et dans une soumission complète à Lui pour la vie, la puissance et la mission. En toutes choses, et dans chaque individu, Lui et Lui seul doit être suprême.30\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>IV. Quatrième pilier : la christologie révélationnelle (Hébreux 1:1-3)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La christologie révélationnelle a généralement été identifiée avec Wolhart Pannenberg et son&nbsp;\u003Cem>Jésus – Dieu et homme,\u003C\u002Fem>31&nbsp;où il soutient que toute l’histoire est sous la direction de Dieu et constitue donc une révélation de Dieu.32&nbsp;Il est important d’examiner la méthodologie sous-jacente de Pannenberg. Sa conviction fondamentale est que Jésus est au centre de toute théologie chrétienne, et que la connaissance humaine de Dieu n’est rendue possible que par la révélation de Dieu en Christ. Pannenberg affirme que «&nbsp;on ne peut parler de Dieu lui-même qu’en parlant en même temps de Jésus&nbsp;».33&nbsp;Ce principe fondamental reflète le fait que Dieu désire se révéler et l’a fait dans la personne de Jésus-Christ. L’histoire, par conséquent, est mieux conçue comme la scène sur laquelle l’acteur divin a joué son rôle. Une christologie révélationnelle, tout en étant consciente des actes puissants de Dieu dans l’histoire, se concentre sur le Dieu qui a envahi l’histoire, le Dieu qui a fait entrer l’éternité dans la réalité spatio-temporelle, le Dieu qui est le Seigneur de l’histoire. Cet accent mis sur le Dieu de l’histoire est au cœur d’Hébreux 1:1-3. Francis Schaeffer ex-prime l’essence de ce passage lorsqu’il déclare «&nbsp;Il [Dieu] est là et Il n’est pas silencieux&nbsp;».34&nbsp;William Lane écrit que l’auteur de l’épître aux Hébreux nous met «&nbsp;face à face avec le Dieu qui parle. Il a répé-té pris l’initiative de se révéler lui-même parce qu’il veut être connu&nbsp;».35&nbsp;Mais en ces derniers jours, Il a parlé et s’est révélé de manière décisive, culminante, voire finale et pour toujours dans la personne de son Fils, notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ. En raison de la détermination de Dieu à être connu, nous pouvons véritablement et «&nbsp;vraiment en vérité&nbsp;» connaître Dieu. À une époque où beaucoup de gens insistent sur l’\u003Cem>absence\u003C\u002Fem> de Dieu et le \u003Cem>silence\u003C\u002Fem> de Dieu, Hébreux 1 est une correction bien nécessaire pour ceux qui sont obsédés par le \u003Cem>deus absconditus\u003C\u002Fem> («&nbsp;le Dieu caché&nbsp;»).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lane souligne le fait important «&nbsp;qu’il était nécessaire que Dieu et la famille humaine puissent parler la même langue&nbsp;».

T. Wright a justement noté «&nbsp;L’historien du premier siècle . . . ne peut échapper à la question de Jésus&nbsp;».38&nbsp;En effet, personne ne peut échapper à la question de Jésus. Ce que l’on pense et croit de Jésus aura un impact sur tout cadre théologique complet, sur toute vision du monde réfléchie. Comme le commente Wright, «&nbsp;Si vous voyez Jésus différemment, tout change&nbsp;».39\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Melanchthon critiquait les sondages et réflexions spéculatives sur Dieu et le Christ en arguant&nbsp;: «&nbsp;Nous faisons mieux d’adorer les mystères de la Déité que de les investiguer . . . car connaître Christ signifie connaître ses bienfaits, et non, comme ils l’enseignent, réfléchir sur ses natures et les modes de son incarnation&nbsp;».40&nbsp;Mais ceux qui accorderaient une attention exclusive à un tel dicton sont assurément destinés à l’erreur théologique. De toute évidence, l’Esprit de Dieu a poussé les auteurs de la Sainte Écriture à réfléchir sur le mystère de l’incarnation. Ce fait est évident dans les quatre piliers que nous avons examinés. Ils démontrent que Jésus-Christ n’est pas seulement «&nbsp;Dieu pour nous&nbsp;», Il est aussi «&nbsp;Dieu avec nous&nbsp;» (Mt 1:23). Athanase, et plus tard Anselme, ont vu clairement que Jésus devait être à la fois pleinement Dieu et humanité parfaite afin de racheter l’humanité perdue.41&nbsp;La christologie et la sotériologie sont à jamais unies. L’investigation christologique n’est pas un simple exercice de spéculations métaphysiques. Il n’y a pas d’accès à l’œuvre du Christ en dehors de sa personne. Il faut connaître Christ pour avoir accès à son œuvre.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>De plus, le Jésus dont on nous parle si souvent aujourd’hui, celui qui n’est qu’un sage enseignant, un sage religieux, un révolutionnaire politique, un paysan juif, un cynique tisseur de proverbes ou un gourou inspiré par l’esprit, est un Jésus bien éloigné de la révélation biblique et qui est spirituellement en faillite et totalement insuffisant pour répondre aux besoins les plus profonds de l’humanité souffrante. Une telle vision d’un Christ totalement inadéquat pour dynamiser et mobiliser l’Église à être sel et lumière (Mt 5:13-16) dans un monde plongé dans les ténèbres. I. Howard Marshall va au cœur du sujet lorsqu’il soutient&nbsp;: «&nbsp;La foi chrétienne a pour objet le Jésus dont la vie terrestre est matière à investigation historique, mais cette investigation ne peut être menée indépendamment de la foi . . . en gardant toujours à l’esprit . . . que le Jésus de la croyance chrétienne est plus qu’une simple figure historique&nbsp;».42&nbsp;Marshall souligne également que la réflexion théologique de l’Église primitive était, dans un certain sens, le résultat inévitable de sa rencontre avec le Christ ressuscité. Il soutient qu’après un examen attentif, le Jésus de l’histoire et le Christ de la foi sont une seule et même personne. Marshall ajoute que\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>l'objet de . . . la foi est . . . le Jésus dont l'existence et le ministère ont été confirmés et éclairés par la recherche historique, mais dont la signification n'est pleinement perçue qu'à la lumière de cette expérience du Seigneur ressuscité qui a coloré l'interprétation de Jésus offerte dans les Évangiles et le reste du Nouveau Testament et qui continue d'éclairer l'esprit du croyant. Car, comme nous l'avons vu, en fin de compte le Jésus terrestre est insuffisant. La foi chrétienne embrasse avec joie le Jésus de la Bible, convaincue que les récits bibliques ont un fondement solide dans l'histoire, mais sachant que « le Jésus des historiens » ne suffit pas ; seul le Jésus-Christ biblique, le Seigneur terrestre et céleste, est adéquat comme objet de la foi.43\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Voilà le fondement d'une christologie pour le vingt et unième siècle.

C'est ce Seigneur dont Dietrich Bonhoeffer a pu écrire,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ils doivent se trouver face à face avec lui. Nous pouvons aussi devoir nous trouver face à face avec Goethe ou Socrate. Cela fait partie de notre culture et de notre ethos. Mais bien plus dépend de notre confrontation avec le Christ — la vie ou la mort, le salut ou la damnation. . . on voit que tout repose sur la phrase : « Et il n'y a de salut en aucun autre » (Actes 4:12). La rencontre avec Jésus est fondamentalement différente de celle avec Goethe ou Socrate. On ne peut éviter la rencontre avec la personne de Jésus parce qu'il est vivant. Avec un peu de soin, Goethe peut être évité, parce qu'il est mort. Mille fois sont les voies que les hommes ont utilisées pour résister ou éluder une rencontre avec le Christ.44\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>« Jésus-Christ est le même hier, aujourd'hui et éternellement » (Hé 13:8, NKJV). C'est le Christ éternel et immuable pour une culture en perpétuel changement. Ceux qui appellent Jésus « Seigneur » doivent être fidèles à qui Il est, à ce qu'Il a fait et à la tâche qu'Il a assignée. Alistair McGrath décrit cette relation lorsqu'il observe : « Au sens le plus profond, l'amour de Dieu pour l'homme est celui d'un Dieu qui s'abaisse du ciel pour entrer dans le monde des hommes, avec toute son agonie et sa douleur, culminant dans la croix sinistre du Calvaire. »45 Notre grand Dieu et Sauveur nous a tant aimés. Osons-nous aimer les autres moins que cela ? Osons-nous ignorer l'immense responsabilité qui est la nôtre ? Ces quatre piliers, Jean 1:1-18, Philippiens 2:6-11, Colossiens 1:15-20 et Hébreux 1:1-3 forment le fondement solide sur lequel toute orthodoxie chrétienne doit reposer.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Publié à l'origine sous le titre Daniel L.

Carl F. H. Henry가 “기독교 초기 이후 어떤 세기보다도, 우리 세기는 예수의 정체성에 대해 혼란스러워하며, 나사렛 예수가 자신과 세상에서의 자신의 역할에 대해 어떻게 생각했는지조차 확신하지 못하는 것 같다. . . .

Gerald Hawthorne은 \u003Cem>morphe\u003C\u002Fem>가 사물의 본질적 존재를 완전히 표현하는 형태를 가리키며, 인간의 감각에 나타나는 방식을 표현한다고 지적한다. 따라서 하나님께 적용될 때 이 단어는 하나님의 본질적 존재, 즉 하나님의 실제 본성과 성품을 가리킨다.20\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>바울은 분명히 1세기 교회의 예수 이해를 독특하고 강력한 방식으로 진전시키고 있다.

Erickson이 지적한 대로, “성육신은 신적 속성을 포기하는 것보다 인간적 속성을 얻는 것이었다.”22&nbsp;더 나아가, 그분이 더하신 인성은 주권자의 것이 아니라 종의 것이었다. 그분은 면류관이 아니라 십자가를 받으셨다. 죽음은 바로 그리스도께서 견디신 것이다. 그러나 그것은 단지 어떤 죽음이 아니라, Cicero로 하여금 “십자가라는 이름 자체가 로마 시민의 몸은 물론 그의 생각, 눈, 귀에서도 멀리 떨어져 있어야 한다”고 쓰게 만든 도구에 의한 죽음이었다(\u003Cem>Pro Rabiro\u003C\u002Fem>, 5.10, 16).23\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>9-11절은 신적 경륜과 지위의 질서를 표현한다. 신학적으로 “높아짐”은 겸손과 섬김에서 비롯된다. 이것은 왕국의 원리이며, 미국 기독교에서 분명히 소홀히 여겨지는 원리이다. “지극히 높아지려는”(9절) 자들은 먼저 지극히 낮아져야 한다. 신자들은 다른 이들을 향한 겸손하고 희생적인 섬김으로 자신을 매우 낮추도록 부르심을 받았다. 그러한 종들은 하나님이 인간을 의도하신 바를 구현하는데, William Hendricks가 지적한 대로, 예수님은 “인간이 되어야 할 모습이지, 인간이 되어 버린 모습이 아니다.”24&nbsp;예수님은 우리의 궁극적인 본보기이시다(고전 1:11). Erickson이 주장하는 대로, “예수님은 우리가 인간인 것처럼 인간이시지만, 그분은 인간 이상이시다. 우리의 인간성은 그분을 측정하는 기준이 아니다. 그분의 인간성, 참되고 순수한 인간성이 우리가 측정되어야 할 기준이다.”25\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>그리스도는 자신을 낮추셨으나 하나님에 의해 높아지셨다. 죽기까지 섬김을 받아들이신 것은 하나님과 잃어버린 인류를 향한 그분의 궁극적인&nbsp;\u003Cem>예\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;였다. 그것은 아버지께 대한 순종의 궁극적인 행위이자, 다른 이들을 향한 자기 내어줌, 자기 희생, 자기 부인의 섬김이었다.26&nbsp;종의 그리스도론은 우리로 하여금 주님께서 우리를 섬기신 것처럼 다른 이들을 섬기도록 부른다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>III. 세 번째 기둥: 우주적 그리스도론 (골로새서 1:15-20)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>하나님-사람으로서, 예수 그리스도는 단순한 설명을 거부하신다. 비교할 수 없는 그리스도는 인간의 지혜를 초월하신다.

F. Bruce는 “이것은 신약성경의 위대한 그리스도론 본문 중 하나로서, 우리 주님의 신적 본질, 선재, 창조 사역을 선언한다”고 썼다.28&nbsp;Bruce는 이 주제들을 요한복음 1:1-4, 히브리서 1:2-4, 그리고 잠언 8:22-31의 신적 지혜 모티브와 연결한다. 우주적 기독교는 신학계에서 자주 언급되지만, 적절히 정의되는 경우는 드물다. 이 주제의 성경적 근거는 이 본문에서 비롯되므로, 이 길을 따라 발전하는 신학은 반드시 이 본문에 단단히 뿌리박아야 한다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>바울의 사고는 우주적이고 보편적인 것에서 시작하여 점차 교회적, 그리고 마침내 개인적인 것으로 나아가는 동심원으로 이해될 수 있다. “보이지 아니하는 하나님의 형상”으로서, 그리스도는 아무도 보지 못한 하나님을 보이신다(참조. 요 1:18). “그리스도는 하나님과 같으시다”고 말할 수 있다. 또한 “하나님은 그리스도와 같으시다”고 말할 수도 있다. 그분이 하나님의 가시적 현현이라는 것은 즉각적으로 그리고 논리적으로 세 가지 실체에 대한 그분의 최상권과 연결된다: (1) 창조(15-17절), (2) 교회(18-20절), (3) 그리스도인(21-23절). 그리스도는 주님이시며, 탁월하신 분이시며, 이 모든 것이 섬겨야 할 분이시다. 그러므로 그분의 주권과 최상권은 우주적이면서 동시에 개인적이다. 그분은 창조의 일부가 아니시다. 왜냐하면 그분은 모든 세부에서 창조의 저자이시기 때문이다. 범신론이나 범재신론의 발전을 위한 여지는 없다. 유한한 유신론 또한 분명히 배제된다. 그분의 우주적 통치의 모든 것을 포괄하는 본성은 “모든”이라는 단어를 통해 분명해지는데, 이 단어는 15-20절에서 여덟 번 사용된다. 그분의 주권적 통치 밖에 있거나 그 너머에 있는 것은 아무것도 없다. 모든 실재는 그분에 의해, 그분을 위하여 창조되었다. 더 나아가, 그것이 창조든, 교회든, 그리스도인이든, 주님으로서 그리스도는 각각의 존재를 유지하고 보존하신다. 그리스도는 기원이시며 목적이시며, 결속의 원리이시며 중심이시며, 보이는 것과 보이지 않는 것의 주인이시다. 그리스도 없이는 실재가 없을 것이다. 그리스도 없이는 아무것도 존재하지 않을 것이며, 어떤 것도 존재하지 않을 것이다.29&nbsp;그러나 아버지께서 사랑하시는 아들을 통하여(13절), 우주(물질적 창조), 교회(영적 창조), 그리스도인(개인적 창조)은 하나님의 주권적 통치 아래로 인도되었다. 옛 창조와 새 창조에서, 독특하게 바울의 표현인 “머리”, 주 예수님은 최상으로 다스리신다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>새 천년의 문턱에 서 있는 교회에게, 우주적 그리스도론의 중요성은 압도적이다. 그리스도는 모든 일에서 첫 자리를 차지하셔야 한다. 그분의 신학이 우리의 신학이 되어야 한다. 그분의 윤리가 우리의 윤리가 되어야 한다. 그분의 생각이 우리의 생각이 되어야 한다. 그분의 마음이 우리의 마음이 되어야 한다. 그리스도는 그분의 몸인 교회를, 그 몸이 보편적으로든 지역적으로든 나타나든, 주권적으로 통제하셔야 한다. 각 지체는 섬김을 위해 독특하게 은사 받은 대로(롬 12, 고전 12, 엡 4, 벧전 4), 삶과 능력과 사명을 위해 그분께 절대적으로 의존하고 완전히 복종해야 한다. 모든 일에서, 그리고 각 개인 안에서, 오직 그분만이 최상이어야 한다.30\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>IV. 네 번째 기둥: 계시적 그리스도론 (히브리서 1:1-3)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Revelational Christology has usually been identified with Wolhart Pannenberg and his&nbsp;\u003Cem>Jesus - God and Man,\u003C\u002Fem>31&nbsp;where he argues that all of history is under God’s direction and is therefore a revelation of God.32&nbsp;It is important to examine Pannenberg’s underlying methodology. His fundamental belief is that Jesus is at the center of every Christian theology, and that human knowledge of God is only made possible through God’s revelation in Christ. Pannenberg asserts that “one can only speak about God himself in that at the same time one talks about Jesus.”33&nbsp;This basic principle reflects the fact that God desires to reveal Himself and has done so in the person of Jesus Christ. His-tory, therefore, is best conceived as the stage upon which the divine actor has played His role. A Revelational Christology, while cognizant of God’s mighty acts in history, focuses on the God who invaded history, the God who brought eternity into space\u002Ftime reality, the God who is the Lord of history. This emphasis on the God of history is the heart of Hebrews 1:1-3. Francis Schaeffer ex-presses the essence of this passage when he states “He [God] is there and He is not silent.”34&nbsp;William Lane writes that the author of Hebrews brings us “face-to-face with the God who speaks. He has repeat-edly taken the initiative to disclose him-self because he wants to be known.”35&nbsp;But in these last days He has spoken and dis-closed Himself decisively, climatically, even finally and for all time in the person of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of God’s determination to be known, we can genuinely and “truly truthfully” know God. In a day when many people stress the&nbsp;\u003Cem>absence\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;of God and the&nbsp;\u003Cem>silence\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;of God, Hebrews 1 is a much needed corrective for those obsessed with&nbsp;\u003Cem>deus\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;\u003Cem>absconditus&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>(“the hidden God”).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lane underscores the important fact “that it was necessary for God and the human family to be able to speak the same language.” In the person of His Son, the Lord spoke through one who is:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>1) appointed heir of all things (v. 2);\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>2) through whom He made the uni-verses (lit. “ages,” v. 2);\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>3) the radiance of God’s glory (v. 3);\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>4) the exact representation of His being (v. 3);\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>5) sustaining all things by His powerful word (v. 3);\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>6) the purification for our sins (v. 3); and\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>7) sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven (v. 3).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>God has met our need to know Him “with our senses: to see him, listen to him, to touch him . . . .

T. Wright has noted correctly “The historian&nbsp;of the first century . . . cannot shrink from the question of Jesus.”38&nbsp;Indeed, no one can shrink from the question of Jesus. What one thinks and believes about Jesus will impact any complete theological framework, any thoughtful worldview. As Wright comments, “If you see Jesus differently, everything changes.”39\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Melanchthon criticized speculative probing and reflection about God and the Christ arguing, “We do better to adore the mysteries of Deity than to investigate them . . . since to know Christ means to know his benefits, and not as they teach, to reflect upon his natures and the modes of his incarnation.”40&nbsp;But surely those who would give exclusive attention to such a dictum are destined for theological error. Clearly, the Spirit of God moved the authors of Holy Scripture to reflect upon the mystery of the incarnation. This fact is evident in the four pillars we have examined. They demonstrate that Jesus Christ is not only, “God for us,” He is also “God with us” (Mt 1:23). Athanasius, and later Anselm, saw clearly that Jesus had to be both fully God and perfect humanity in order to redeem lost humanity.41&nbsp;Christology and soteriology are forever wed. Christological investigation is no mere exercise in metaphysical musings. There is no access to the work of Christ apart from His person. One must know Christ to have access to His work.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Furthermore, the Jesus we so often read about today, one who is only a wise teacher, religious sage, political revolutionary, Jewish peasant, Cynic spinner of proverbs, or spirit-inspired guru is a Jesus far removed from biblical revelation and one who is spiritually bankrupt and totally insufficient to meet the deepest needs of hurting humanity. Such is a vision of a Christ who is totally inadequate to energize and mobilize the Church to be salt and light (Mt 5:13-16) in a world immersed in darkness. I. Howard Marshall gets to the heart of the matter when he argues, “The Christian faith has as its object the Jesus whose earthly life is a matter for historical investigation, but this investigation cannot be carried on in independence of faith . . . always [bear] in mind . . . that the Jesus of Christian belief is more than a merely historical figure .”42&nbsp;Marshall also points out that the early Church’s theological reflection was, in some sense, the inevitable outworking of its encounter with the risen Christ. He contends that upon careful examination the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith are one and the same. Marshall adds that\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>the object of . . . faith is . . . the Jesus whose existence and ministry have been confirmed and illuminated by historical research, but whose significance is only fully seen in the light of that experience of the risen Lord which had coloured the interpretation of Jesus offered in the Gospels and the rest of the New Testament and which continues to illuminate the mind of the believer. For as we have seen, ultimately the earthly Jesus is inadequate. Christian faith joyfully embraces the Jesus of the Bible, assured that the biblical accounts have a firm base in his-tory, but knowing that ‘the Jesus of the historians’ is not enough; only the biblical Jesus Christ, the earthly and the heavenly Lord, is adequate as the object of faith.43\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This is the foundation of a Christology for the twenty-first century.

But far more depends upon our confronting Christ — life or death, salvation or damnation. . . it is seen that all rest upon the sentence, ‘And there is salvation in no one else’ (Acts 4:12). The encounter with Jesus is fundamentally different from that with Goethe or Socrates. One cannot avoid en-counter with the person of Jesus be-cause he is alive. With some care Goethe can be avoided, because he is dead.

Alistair McGrath describes this relationship when he observes, “In its deepest sense, the love of God for man is that of a God who stoops down from heaven to enter into the world of men, with all of its agony and pain, culminating in the grim cross of Calvary.”45&nbsp;Our great God and Savior has so loved us. Dare we love others any less? Dare we ignore the awesome responsibility that is ours? These four pillars, John 1:1-18, Philippians 2:6-11, Colossians 1:15-20 and Hebrews 1:1-3 form the solid foundation upon which any Christian orthodoxy must stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Originally published as Daniel L.

Because in the ancient world, contrary popular opinion, women could testify at a court of law in the first century, but there was an inverse relationship in how important the issue was and whether you could use a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Think about this, you’re “making up,” inventing the Christian story decades later and you are trying to prove an empty tomb.&nbsp;Do you use women as your primary witnesses? Of course not, because people are not going to let you get away with that.&nbsp;Why do all four Gospels use the women testimony?&nbsp;Easy because they were the first to find the empty tomb and hence that is probably the strongest evidence for the empty tomb.&nbsp;It is the witnesses they chose because they were truly witnesses and I think this other witness is equally strong.&nbsp;It is what I call “The Jerusalem Factor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It goes like this, if Jesus had been buried in Rome and you’re preaching in Jerusalem and you say, “He is buried in Rome, go see the tomb He is not there.”&nbsp;&nbsp;Are you going to get on a ship and go to Rome?&nbsp;I don’t think so, but the early preaching started in Jerusalem, the very city where He died and was buried, the very city where He was raised and appeared.&nbsp;If you want to take a Sunday afternoon&nbsp;stroll down to the empty tomb you can verify for yourself in about how long, an hour, that that tomb is empty.&nbsp;In other words, bury Him in some other city but don’t go preaching it in Jerusalem unless the tomb is empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now some skeptics will say, “now come on, according to your own book, Acts, they don’t start preaching this until fifty days.&nbsp;The body would be all rotted by then.”&nbsp;First of all, bodies don’t rot at fifty days.&nbsp;Secondly, there would be nail marks in the wrist and the feet and a spear wound.&nbsp;That is not going to away in fifty days.&nbsp;Here is the most important reason: Christians didn’t teach “there is a body in the tomb but we can’t tell who it is.”&nbsp;They said “there is no body in the tomb, its empty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If you find any body in the in the tomb you would be right and Christians would be wrong.&nbsp;You could only make that claim in the city in the time when it happened if there is no body in the tomb.&nbsp;So women in Jerusalem are tough but think about a couple of others.&nbsp;Critics often say if we have more than one independent source in the ancient world for something then we have a good chance of it being true.&nbsp;We have several independent sources for the empty tomb and critics count that very, very highly.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Some critics say three, some critics say four different sources but we have more than one.&nbsp;We have several, and in the ancient world that makes a big difference.&nbsp;Here is another one.&nbsp;The Greek word&nbsp;“\u003Cb>anastasiV\u003C\u002Fb>,”&nbsp;the Greek word for “resurrection,” the word itself means “to stand up again.”&nbsp;The word is almost never used, some say never used in ancient literature, pagans, Jewish or Christians perhaps never in any context other than a body being raised.&nbsp;Now that’s important because if a body is raised it is not in the tomb and so again the tomb is empty.&nbsp;See these are some of the reasons the critics today take the tomb very seriously and critical scholars,&nbsp;more critical scholars than not believe the tomb was empty because of facts just like these.\u003C\u002Fp>","Have you ever wondered what convincing evidence there is for Christ's resurrection?

Por supuesto que no, porque la gente no te va a dejar salirte con eso.&nbsp;¿Por qué los cuatro Evangelios usan el testimonio de las mujeres?&nbsp;Fácil, porque ellas fueron las primeras en encontrar el sepulcro vacío y por lo tanto esa es probablemente la evidencia más sólida para el sepulcro vacío.&nbsp;Es el testimonio que eligieron porque realmente eran testigos y creo que este otro testimonio es igualmente fuerte.&nbsp;Es lo que llamo “El Factor Jerusalén”.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Va así: si Jesús hubiera sido enterrado en Roma y estás predicando en Jerusalén y dices: “Está enterrado en Roma, ve a ver el sepulcro, Él no está allí.”&nbsp;&nbsp;¿Vas a subirte a un barco e ir a Roma?&nbsp;No lo creo, pero la predicación temprana comenzó en Jerusalén, la misma ciudad donde Él murió y fue enterrado, la misma ciudad donde resucitó y se apareció.&nbsp;Si quieres dar un paseo dominical hasta el sepulcro vacío, puedes verificarlo tú mismo en aproximadamente cuánto tiempo, una hora, que ese sepulcro está vacío.&nbsp;En otras palabras, entiérralo en otra ciudad, pero no vayas a predicarlo en Jerusalén a menos que el sepulcro esté vacío.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ahora algunos escépticos dirán: “vamos, según tu propio libro, Hechos, no comienzan a predicar esto hasta cincuenta días.&nbsp;El cuerpo ya estaría podrido para entonces.”&nbsp;En primer lugar, los cuerpos no se pudren en cincuenta días.&nbsp;En segundo lugar, habría marcas de clavos en las muñecas y los pies y una herida de lanza.&nbsp;Eso no va a desaparecer en cincuenta días.&nbsp;Aquí está la razón más importante: los cristianos no enseñaban “hay un cuerpo en el sepulcro pero no podemos decir quién es.”&nbsp;Decían “no hay cuerpo en el sepulcro, está vacío.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Si encuentras algún cuerpo en el sepulcro, tendrías razón y los cristianos estarían equivocados.&nbsp;Solo podrías hacer esa afirmación en la ciudad en el momento en que sucedió si no hay cuerpo en el sepulcro.&nbsp;Así que las mujeres en Jerusalén son difíciles, pero piensa en un par de otras.&nbsp;Los críticos a menudo dicen que si tenemos más de una fuente independiente en el mundo antiguo para algo, entonces tenemos una buena probabilidad de que sea verdad.&nbsp;Tenemos varias fuentes independientes para el sepulcro vacío y los críticos cuentan eso muy, muy altamente.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Algunos críticos dicen tres, algunos críticos dicen cuatro fuentes diferentes, pero tenemos más de una.&nbsp;Tenemos varias, y en el mundo antiguo eso marca una gran diferencia.&nbsp;Aquí hay otra.&nbsp;La palabra griega&nbsp;“\u003Cb>anastasiV\u003C\u002Fb>,”&nbsp;la palabra griega para “resurrección,” la palabra misma significa “levantarse de nuevo.”&nbsp;La palabra casi nunca se usa, algunos dicen que nunca se usa en la literatura antigua, pagana, judía o cristiana, quizás nunca en ningún contexto que no sea el de un cuerpo siendo resucitado.&nbsp;Ahora eso es importante porque si un cuerpo es resucitado, no está en el sepulcro y así de nuevo el sepulcro está vacío.&nbsp;¿Ves?

Je ne pense pas, mais la prédication précoce a commencé à Jérusalem, la ville même où il est mort et a été enterré, la ville même où il est ressuscité et est apparu.&nbsp;Si vous voulez faire une promenade dominicale jusqu'au tombeau vide, vous pouvez vérifier par vous-même en combien de temps, une heure, que ce tombeau est vide.&nbsp;En d'autres termes, enterrez-le dans une autre ville mais ne prêchez pas cela à Jérusalem à moins que le tombeau ne soit vide.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Maintenant, certains sceptiques diront : « allons, selon votre propre livre, les Actes, ils ne commencent pas à prêcher cela avant cinquante jours.&nbsp;Le corps aurait été complètement décomposé d'ici là. »&nbsp;Tout d'abord, les corps ne se décomposent pas en cinquante jours.&nbsp;Deuxièmement, il y aurait des marques de clous aux poignets et aux pieds et une blessure de lance.&nbsp;Cela ne va pas disparaître en cinquante jours.&nbsp;Voici la raison la plus importante : les chrétiens n'enseignaient pas « il y a un corps dans le tombeau mais nous ne pouvons pas dire qui c'est. »&nbsp;Ils disaient « il n'y a pas de corps dans le tombeau, il est vide. »\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Si vous trouvez un corps dans le tombeau, vous auriez raison et les chrétiens auraient tort.&nbsp;Vous ne pourriez faire cette affirmation dans la ville au moment où cela s'est produit que s'il n'y a pas de corps dans le tombeau.&nbsp;Alors les femmes à Jérusalem sont difficiles mais pensez à quelques autres.&nbsp;Les critiques disent souvent que si nous avons plus d'une source indépendante dans le monde antique pour quelque chose, alors nous avons une bonne chance que ce soit vrai.&nbsp;Nous avons plusieurs sources indépendantes pour le tombeau vide et les critiques comptent cela très, très haut.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Certains critiques disent trois, certains critiques disent quatre sources différentes mais nous en avons plus d'une.&nbsp;Nous en avons plusieurs, et dans le monde antique cela fait une grande différence.&nbsp;En voici une autre.&nbsp;Le mot grec&nbsp;«\u003Cb>anastasiV\u003C\u002Fb>»,&nbsp;le mot grec pour « résurrection », le mot lui-même signifie « se lever à nouveau. »&nbsp;Le mot n'est presque jamais utilisé, certains disent jamais utilisé dans la littérature antique, païenne, juive ou chrétienne, peut-être jamais dans aucun contexte autre que celui d'un corps qui est ressuscité.&nbsp;Maintenant, c'est important parce que si un corps est ressuscité, il n'est pas dans le tombeau et donc encore une fois le tombeau est vide.&nbsp;Voyez, ce sont quelques-unes des raisons pour lesquelles les critiques aujourd'hui prennent le tombeau très au sérieux et les érudits critiques,&nbsp;plus d'érudits critiques que pas croient que le tombeau était vide à cause de faits comme ceux-ci.\u003C\u002Fp>","\n\n예수께서 시체로부터 부활하시었나요?","\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit;\">그리스도의 부활에 대한 설득력 있는 증거가 무엇인지 궁금해 본 적이 있으신가요?&nbsp;부활에 관한 저술과 연구로 저명한 기독교 학자 게리 하버마스 박사와 함께, 이전에 생각해 보지 못한 증거들을 공유하는 이 영상을 즐겨보세요.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.garyhabermas.com\u002F\">게리 R. 하버마스 박사\u003C\u002Fa>에 대해 더 알아보실 수 있습니다. 그는 \u003Ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.liberty.edu\u002F\">리버티 대학교\u003C\u002Fa> 철학과 신학과 학과장 겸 특훈연구교수입니다. 또한 그의 저서인 \"\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FCase-Resurrection-Jesus-Gary-Habermas\u002Fdp\u002F0825427886\u002Fref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1284259865&amp;sr=1-1\">예수 부활의 증거(The Case For the Resurrection of Jesus)\u003C\u002Fa>\"를 강력히 추천합니다.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>TrueLife.org는 여러분이 교회 공동체의 큰 축복을 경험할 수 있도록 목사님을 소개해 드리는 데 기꺼이 도움을 드리고자 합니다. \u003Ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.truelife.org\u002Flocations\">교회 찾기\u003C\u002Fa>를 이용해 가까운 목사님을 쉽게 찾고 이메일을 보내시기 바랍니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Ftruelife.org\u002Fanswers\u002Fhow-can-i-be-forgiven-and-go-to-heaven-video\">용서받고 천국에 가고 싶으시다면 여기를 클릭하세요!\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>","\u003Cp>예수님은 죽음에서 부활하셨는가?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>게리 하버마스 박사\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>비평학자들은 예수님의 부활에 대한 가장 중요하고 강력한 증거가 네 복음서에 모두 있다고 생각하며, 네 복음서는 서로 다른 출처에서 왔고 그 출처들은 모두 여자들이 빈 무덤의 첫 증인이었다고 일치하게 보고합니다.&nbsp;그것이 왜 중요한가요? 고대 세계에서는 대중의 의견과 달리 1세기 법정에서 여성이 증언할 수 있었지만, 문제의 중요성과 여성을 사용할 수 있는지 여부 사이에는 역관계가 있었습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>이것을 생각해 보세요. 수십 년 후에 기독교 이야기를 “만들어내고,” 빈 무덤을 증명하려고 하는데, 주요 증인으로 여성을 사용하시겠습니까? 물론 아닙니다. 사람들은 그렇게 하도록 내버려두지 않을 것이기 때문입니다.&nbsp;왜 네 복음서 모두가 여성의 증언을 사용하는가요? 간단합니다. 그들이 빈 무덤을 가장 먼저 발견했기 때문이며, 따라서 그것이 빈 무덤에 대한 가장 강력한 증거일 가능성이 높습니다.&nbsp;그들은 진짜 증인이었기 때문에 그 증인들을 선택한 것입니다. 그리고 저는 이 다른 증인도 똑같이 강력하다고 생각합니다.&nbsp;제가 “예루살렘 요인”이라고 부르는 것입니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>이렇게 설명할 수 있습니다. 만약 예수님이 로마에 묻히셨고 여러분이 예루살렘에서 전도하며 “그분은 로마에 묻히셨습니다. 가서 무덤을 보십시오. 그분은 거기 계시지 않습니다.”라고 말한다면,&nbsp;여러분은 배를 타고 로마로 가시겠습니까? 저는 그렇지 않을 것 같습니다. 그러나 초기 전도는 예수님이 죽으시고 묻히신 바로 그 도시, 부활하시고 나타나신 바로 그 도시인 예루살렘에서 시작되었습니다.&nbsp;일요일 오후에 빈 무덤까지 산책을 가면, 그 무덤이 비어 있다는 것을 약 한 시간 만에 직접 확인할 수 있습니다.&nbsp;다시 말해, 다른 도시에 묻으시되, 무덤이 비어 있지 않다면 예루살렘에서 전도하지 마십시오.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>이제 어떤 회의론자들은 “자, 여러분의 책인 사도행전에 따르면, 그들은 50일이 지나서야 이 사실을 전하기 시작합니다.&nbsp;그때쯤이면 시신은 이미 썩었을 것입니다.”라고 말할 것입니다.&nbsp;첫째, 시신은 50일 만에 썩지 않습니다.&nbsp;둘째, 손목과 발에는 못 자국이, 옆구리에는 창 자국이 남아 있을 것입니다. 그것은 50일 만에 사라지지 않습니다.&nbsp;가장 중요한 이유는 다음과 같습니다. 기독교인들은 “무덤에 시신이 있지만 누군지 알 수 없다”고 가르치지 않았습니다.&nbsp;그들은 “무덤에 시신이 없다. 그것은 비어 있다”고 말했습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>만약 무덤에서 어떤 시신이라도 발견된다면, 여러분이 옳고 기독교인들이 틀린 것입니다.&nbsp;그런 주장은 그 일이 일어난 도시와 시기에 무덤에 시신이 없을 때만 할 수 있습니다.&nbsp;그래서 예루살렘의 여성들은 강력한 증거이지만, 다른 몇 가지를 생각해 보세요.&nbsp;비평가들은 종종 고대 세계에서 어떤 사건에 대해 독립적인 출처가 하나 이상 있으면 그것이 사실일 가능성이 높다고 말합니다.&nbsp;우리는 빈 무덤에 대해 여러 독립적인 출처를 가지고 있으며, 비평가들은 이를 매우, 매우 높이 평가합니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>어떤 비평가들은 세 가지, 어떤 비평가들은 네 가지 다른 출처라고 말하지만, 우리는 하나 이상을 가지고 있습니다.&nbsp;우리는 여러 개를 가지고 있으며, 고대 세계에서는 그것이 큰 차이를 만듭니다.&nbsp;여기 또 다른 것이 있습니다.&nbsp;그리스어 “\u003Cb>anastasiV\u003C\u002Fb>,” “부활”을 의미하는 그리스어 단어는 그 자체로 “다시 일어나다”를 의미합니다.&nbsp;이 단어는 고대 문헌, 이교도, 유대인 또는 기독교 문헌에서 거의 사용되지 않으며, 어떤 이들은 아마도 시신이 일으켜지는 맥락 외에는 전혀 사용되지 않았다고 말합니다.&nbsp;이것이 중요한 이유는, 시신이 일으켜진다면 그것은 무덤에 있지 않기 때문이며, 따라서 다시 무덤은 비어 있다는 것입니다.&nbsp;이러한 이유들 때문에 오늘날 비평가들은 무덤을 매우 진지하게 받아들이며, 비평학자들 중 다수가 이러한 사실들 때문에 무덤이 비어 있었다고 믿습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"id":264,"title":568,"description":569,"featured":50,"transcript":570,"subtitle":571,"playerembed":572,"category_id":474,"slug":573,"answertype":531,"created_at":553,"updated_at":574,"thumbnail":575,"embed_thumbnail":576,"embed_icon":503,"title_es":577,"description_es":578,"playerembed_es":579,"transcript_es":580,"title_fr":581,"description_fr":582,"playerembed_fr":18,"transcript_fr":583,"title_ko":584,"description_ko":585,"playerembed_ko":18,"transcript_ko":586,"question_id":18,"category_slug":476,"category_name":-1},"Is Jesus God?","\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit;\">Many people state that \"Jesus was not God,\" but what did Jesus say?

Of course not, because\r\npeople are not going to let you get away with that.&nbsp;Why do all four Gospels\r\nuse the women testimony?&nbsp;Easy because they were the first to find the\r\nempty tomb and hence that is probably the strongest evidence for the empty\r\ntomb.&nbsp;It is the witnesses they chose because they were truly witnesses and\r\nI think this other witness is equally strong.&nbsp;It is what I call “The\r\nJerusalem Factor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>It goes like this, if Jesus had been buried in\r\nRome and you’re preaching in Jerusalem and you say, “He is buried in Rome, go\r\nsee the tomb He is not there.”&nbsp;&nbsp;Are you going to get on a ship and go\r\nto Rome?&nbsp;I don’t think so, but the early preaching started in Jerusalem,\r\nthe very city where He died and was buried, the very city where He was raised\r\nand appeared.&nbsp;If you want to take a Sunday afternoon&nbsp;stroll down to\r\nthe empty tomb you can verify for yourself in about how long, an hour, that\r\nthat tomb is empty.&nbsp;In other words, bury Him in some other city but don’t\r\ngo preaching it in Jerusalem unless the tomb is empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>Now some skeptics will say, “now come on,\r\naccording to your own book, Acts, they don’t start preaching this until fifty\r\ndays.&nbsp;The body would be all rotted by then.”&nbsp;First of all, bodies\r\ndon’t rot at fifty days.&nbsp;Secondly, there would be nail marks in the wrist\r\nand the feet and a spear wound.&nbsp;That is not going to away in fifty\r\ndays.&nbsp;Here is the most important reason: Christians didn’t teach “there is\r\na body in the tomb but we can’t tell who it is.”&nbsp;They said “there is no\r\nbody in the tomb, its empty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>If you find any body in the in the tomb you\r\nwould be right and Christians would be wrong.&nbsp;You could only make that\r\nclaim in the city in the time when it happened if there is no body in the\r\ntomb.&nbsp;So women in Jerusalem are tough but think about a couple of\r\nothers.&nbsp;Critics often say if we have more than one independent source in\r\nthe ancient world for something then we have a good chance of it being\r\ntrue.&nbsp;We have several independent sources for the empty tomb and critics\r\ncount that very, very highly.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>Some critics say three, some critics say four\r\ndifferent sources but we have more than one.&nbsp;We have several, and in the\r\nancient world that makes a big difference.&nbsp;Here is another one.&nbsp;The\r\nGreek word&nbsp;“\u003Cb>anastasiV\u003C\u002Fb>,”&nbsp;the Greek word for “resurrection,” the\r\nword itself means “to stand up again.”&nbsp;The word is almost never used, some\r\nsay never used in ancient literature, pagans, Jewish or Christians perhaps\r\nnever in any context other than a body being raised.&nbsp;Now that’s important\r\nbecause if a body is raised it is not in the tomb and so again the tomb is\r\nempty.&nbsp;See these are some of the reasons the critics today take the tomb\r\nvery seriously and critical scholars,&nbsp;more critical scholars than not\r\nbelieve the tomb was empty because of facts just like these.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>","transcript-did-jesus-rise-from-the-dead","2026-07-29T16:01:45.874Z","https:\u002F\u002Ftruelifeorg.s3.amazonaws.com\u002Fresources\u002F1661459149404_Screenshot%202022-08-25%20162531.png","\u003Cp>¿Resucitó Jesús de entre los muertos?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>Dr. Gary Habermas\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>Los estudiosos críticos piensan que la evidencia más importante y más sólida para la resurrección de Jesús se encuentra en los cuatro Evangelios, y los cuatro Evangelios provienen de fuentes diferentes y esas fuentes informan unánimemente que las mujeres fueron las primeras testigos del sepulcro vacío.&nbsp;¿Por qué es eso significativo? Porque en el mundo antiguo, contrariamente a la opinión popular, las mujeres podían testificar en un tribunal de justicia en el primer siglo, pero había una relación inversa entre la importancia del asunto y si podías usar a una mujer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>Piensa en esto, estás “inventando”, creando la historia cristiana décadas después y estás tratando de probar un sepulcro vacío.&nbsp;¿Usas a las mujeres como tus principales testigos? Por supuesto que no, porque la gente no te va a dejar salirte con la tuya.&nbsp;¿Por qué los cuatro Evangelios usan el testimonio de las mujeres?&nbsp;Fácil, porque ellas fueron las primeras en encontrar el sepulcro vacío y por eso esa es probablemente la evidencia más sólida para el sepulcro vacío.&nbsp;Son los testigos que eligieron porque realmente fueron testigos y creo que este otro testimonio es igualmente fuerte.&nbsp;Es lo que yo llamo “El Factor Jerusalén”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>Funciona así: si Jesús hubiera sido enterrado en Roma y estás predicando en Jerusalén y dices: “Está enterrado en Roma, ve a ver la tumba, Él no está allí”.&nbsp;¿Vas a subirte a un barco e ir a Roma?&nbsp;No lo creo, pero la predicación temprana comenzó en Jerusalén, la misma ciudad donde Él murió y fue enterrado, la misma ciudad donde resucitó y apareció.&nbsp;Si quieres dar un paseo dominical hasta el sepulcro vacío, puedes verificarlo por ti mismo en aproximadamente cuánto tiempo, una hora, que ese sepulcro está vacío.&nbsp;En otras palabras, entiérralo en otra ciudad pero no vayas a predicarlo en Jerusalén a menos que el sepulcro esté vacío.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>Ahora algunos escépticos dirán: “vamos, según tu propio libro, Hechos, no comienzan a predicar esto hasta cincuenta días.&nbsp;El cuerpo ya estaría todo podrido para entonces”.&nbsp;En primer lugar, los cuerpos no se pudren en cincuenta días.&nbsp;En segundo lugar, habría marcas de clavos en las muñecas y los pies y una herida de lanza.&nbsp;Eso no va a desaparecer en cincuenta días.&nbsp;Aquí está la razón más importante: los cristianos no enseñaban “hay un cuerpo en el sepulcro pero no podemos decir quién es”.&nbsp;Decían “no hay cuerpo en el sepulcro, está vacío”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>Si encuentras cualquier cuerpo en el sepulcro, tendrías razón y los cristianos estarían equivocados.&nbsp;Solo podrías hacer esa afirmación en la ciudad en el momento en que sucedió si no hay cuerpo en el sepulcro.&nbsp;Así que las mujeres en Jerusalén son difíciles, pero piensa en un par de otras.&nbsp;Los críticos suelen decir que si tenemos más de una fuente independiente en el mundo antiguo para algo, entonces tenemos una buena probabilidad de que sea verdad.&nbsp;Tenemos varias fuentes independientes para el sepulcro vacío y los críticos valoran eso mucho, mucho.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>Algunos críticos dicen tres, algunos críticos dicen cuatro fuentes diferentes, pero tenemos más de una.&nbsp;Tenemos varias, y en el mundo antiguo eso marca una gran diferencia.&nbsp;Aquí hay otra.&nbsp;La palabra griega&nbsp;“\u003Cb>anastasiV\u003C\u002Fb>,”&nbsp;la palabra griega para “resurrección”, la palabra en sí significa “levantarse de nuevo”.&nbsp;La palabra casi nunca se usa, algunos dicen que nunca se usa en la literatura antigua, pagana, judía o cristiana, quizás nunca en ningún contexto que no sea el de un cuerpo que resucita.&nbsp;Ahora eso es importante porque si un cuerpo resucita, no está en el sepulcro y así de nuevo el sepulcro está vacío.&nbsp;¿Ves?

Je ne pense pas, mais la prédication primitive a commencé à Jérusalem, dans la ville même où il est mort et a été enterré, dans la ville même où il est ressuscité et est apparu.&nbsp;Si vous voulez faire une promenade dominicale jusqu'au tombeau vide, vous pouvez vérifier par vous-même en combien de temps, une heure, que ce tombeau est vide.&nbsp;En d'autres termes, enterrez-le dans une autre ville mais n'allez pas prêcher cela à Jérusalem à moins que le tombeau ne soit vide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>Certains sceptiques diront : « Allons, selon votre propre livre, les Actes, ils ne commencent à prêcher cela qu'après cinquante jours.&nbsp;Le corps serait déjà décomposé à ce moment-là. »&nbsp;Premièrement, les corps ne se décomposent pas en cinquante jours.&nbsp;Deuxièmement, il y aurait des marques de clous aux poignets et aux pieds ainsi qu'une blessure de lance.&nbsp;Cela ne disparaîtra pas en cinquante jours.&nbsp;Voici la raison la plus importante : les chrétiens n'enseignaient pas « il y a un corps dans le tombeau mais nous ne pouvons pas dire qui c'est. »&nbsp;Ils disaient « il n'y a pas de corps dans le tombeau, il est vide. »\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>Si vous trouvez un corps dans le tombeau, vous auriez raison et les chrétiens auraient tort.&nbsp;Vous ne pourriez faire cette affirmation dans la ville et à l'époque où cela s'est produit que s'il n'y a pas de corps dans le tombeau.&nbsp;Alors les femmes à Jérusalem sont déjà un argument difficile, mais pensez à quelques autres.&nbsp;Les critiques disent souvent que si nous avons plus d'une source indépendante dans le monde antique pour quelque chose, alors nous avons de bonnes chances que ce soit vrai.&nbsp;Nous avons plusieurs sources indépendantes pour le tombeau vide et les critiques accordent beaucoup, beaucoup d'importance à cela.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>Certains critiques en disent trois, d'autres en disent quatre sources différentes mais nous en avons plus d'une.&nbsp;Nous en avons plusieurs, et dans le monde antique cela fait une grande différence.&nbsp;En voici une autre.&nbsp;Le mot grec&nbsp;« \u003Cb>anastasiV\u003C\u002Fb> »,&nbsp;le mot grec pour « résurrection », le mot lui-même signifie « se relever à nouveau. »&nbsp;Le mot est presque jamais utilisé, certains disent jamais utilisé dans la littérature antique, païenne, juive ou chrétienne, peut-être jamais dans aucun contexte autre que celui d'un corps qui est ressuscité.&nbsp;Or c'est important parce que si un corps est ressuscité, il n'est pas dans le tombeau et donc à nouveau le tombeau est vide.&nbsp;Voyez-vous, ce sont quelques-unes des raisons pour lesquelles les critiques d'aujourd'hui prennent le tombeau très au sérieux et que les érudits critiques, plus d'érudits critiques que pas, croient que le tombeau était vide à cause de faits comme ceux-ci.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>","\n\n예수께서 죽은 후에 부활하셨나요?","\u003Cp>예수님은 죽음에서 부활하셨는가?\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>Dr. Gary Habermas\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>비평학자들은 예수님의 부활에 대한 가장 중요하고 강력한 증거가 네 복음서에 모두 있다고 생각하며, 네 복음서는 서로 다른 자료에서 유래했음에도 불구하고 여자들이 빈 무덤의 첫 목격자였다고 일관되게 보고하고 있습니다. 이것이 왜 중요한가요? 고대 세계에서는 일반적인 견해와 달리, 1세기에는 여성이 법정에서 증언할 수 있었지만, 문제의 중요성과 여성 증언의 사용 가능성 사이에는 반비례 관계가 있었습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>이 점을 생각해 보십시오. 수십 년 후에 기독교 이야기를 “만들어내고” 빈 무덤을 증명하려고 하는데, 주요 증인으로 여성을 사용하시겠습니까? 물론 아닙니다. 사람들은 그런 주장을 그냥 넘기지 않을 것이기 때문입니다. 왜 네 복음서 모두가 여성의 증언을 사용하는 것일까요? 간단합니다. 그들이 빈 무덤을 처음 발견했기 때문이며, 따라서 그것이 빈 무덤에 대한 가장 강력한 증거일 가능성이 높습니다. 그들이 선택한 증인들은 진짜 증인이었기 때문입니다. 그리고 저는 이 또 다른 증거도 똑같이 강력하다고 생각합니다. 제가 “예루살렘 요인”이라고 부르는 것입니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>이렇게 설명할 수 있습니다. 만약 예수님이 로마에 묻히셨고 여러분이 예루살렘에서 전도하면서 “그분은 로마에 묻히셨으니, 가서 무덤을 보십시오. 그분은 거기 계시지 않습니다”라고 말한다면, 배를 타고 로마까지 가시겠습니까? 저는 그렇지 않을 것이라고 생각합니다. 그러나 초기 전도는 예수님이 죽으시고 묻히신 바로 그 도시, 예수님이 부활하시고 나타나신 바로 그 도시인 예루살렘에서 시작되었습니다. 일요일 오후에 빈 무덤까지 산책을 하신다면, 대략 한 시간 정도면 그 무덤이 비어 있다는 것을 직접 확인하실 수 있습니다. 다시 말해, 다른 도시에 묻으시되, 무덤이 비어 있지 않다면 예루살렘에서 전도하지 마십시오.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>일부 회의론자들은 “자, 여러분의 책인 사도행전에 따르면, 그들은 50일이 지나서야 이 사실을 전하기 시작합니다. 그때쯤이면 시신은 이미 썩었을 것입니다”라고 말할 것입니다. 첫째, 시신은 50일 만에 썩지 않습니다. 둘째, 손목과 발에는 못 자국이, 그리고 창 자국이 남아 있을 것입니다. 그것은 50일 만에 사라지지 않습니다. 여기 가장 중요한 이유가 있습니다. 그리스도인들은 “무덤에 시신이 있지만 누군지 알 수 없다”고 가르치지 않았습니다. 그들은 “무덤에 시신이 없다. 그것은 비어 있다”고 말했습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>만약 무덤에서 어떤 시신이라도 발견된다면, 여러분이 옳고 그리스도인들이 틀린 것입니다. 그 주장은 그 일이 일어난 도시와 시간에 무덤에 시신이 없을 때에만 할 수 있습니다. 그래서 예루살렘의 여성 증언은 강력하지만, 몇 가지 다른 점도 생각해 보십시오. 비평가들은 종종 고대 세계에서 어떤 사건에 대해 독립적인 자료가 두 개 이상 있으면 그것이 사실일 가능성이 높다고 말합니다. 우리는 빈 무덤에 대한 여러 독립적인 자료를 가지고 있으며, 비평가들은 이를 매우, 매우 높이 평가합니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>일부 비평가들은 세 가지, 일부는 네 가지 다른 자료라고 말하지만, 우리는 하나 이상의 자료를 가지고 있습니다. 우리는 여러 개를 가지고 있으며, 고대 세계에서는 그것이 큰 차이를 만듭니다. 또 다른 점이 있습니다. “부활”을 뜻하는 헬라어 “\u003Cb>anastasiV\u003C\u002Fb>”라는 단어 자체는 “다시 일어나다”라는 의미입니다. 이 단어는 고대 문헌에서, 이교도, 유대교, 기독교 문헌에서 시신이 일으켜지는 맥락 외에는 거의 사용되지 않으며, 어떤 이들은 결코 사용되지 않았다고 말합니다. 이것이 중요한 이유는, 시신이 일으켜졌다면 그것은 무덤에 있지 않기 때문이며, 따라서 다시 무덤이 비어 있다는 것입니다. 보십시오, 오늘날 비평가들이 이런 사실들 때문에 무덤을 매우 진지하게 받아들이는 이유가 바로 여기에 있으며, 비평 학자들 중 다수가 이런 사실들 때문에 무덤이 비어 있었다고 믿고 있습니다.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>",[],{"id":623,"name":624,"description":625,"slug":626,"background":627,"thumbnail":628,"supercategory":624,"created_at":480,"updated_at":629,"embed_thumbnail":630,"embed_icon":631,"featured_category":18,"name_es":632,"description_es":633,"playerembed":634,"order":18,"name_fr":635,"description_fr":635,"name_ko":636,"description_ko":637,"answers":638,"testimonials":675,"isVideo":50},22,"Sexuality","Sexualty","sexuality","https:\u002F\u002Ftruelifeorg.s3.amazonaws.com\u002Fresources\u002F1671824666540_Screen%20Shot%202022-12-23%20at%202.43.30%20PM.png","https:\u002F\u002Ftruelifeorg.s3.amazonaws.com\u002Fresources\u002F1671824669159_Screen%20Shot%202022-12-23%20at%202.43.30%20PM.png","2023-08-03T06:47:57.651Z","https:\u002F\u002Ftruelifeorg.s3.amazonaws.com\u002Fresources\u002F1671824669507_Screen%20Shot%202022-12-23%20at%202.43.30%20PM.png","https:\u002F\u002Ftruelifeorg.s3.amazonaws.com\u002Fresources\u002FSexuality.png","La Sexualidad","\n\nSexualidad","\u003Ciframe src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplayer.vimeo.com\u002Fvideo\u002F14892659?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;color=BF1E2E&amp;autoplay=1\" width=\"935\" height=\"526\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen>\u003C\u002Fiframe>\n","\n\nSexualité","\n\n섹슈얼리티","\n\n섹스",[639,654],{"id":640,"title":641,"description":642,"featured":9,"transcript":18,"subtitle":18,"playerembed":643,"category_id":623,"slug":644,"answertype":531,"created_at":645,"updated_at":646,"thumbnail":647,"embed_thumbnail":18,"embed_icon":18,"title_es":648,"description_es":649,"playerembed_es":18,"transcript_es":18,"title_fr":650,"description_fr":651,"playerembed_fr":18,"transcript_fr":18,"title_ko":652,"description_ko":653,"playerembed_ko":18,"transcript_ko":18,"question_id":18,"category_slug":626,"category_name":-1},211,"Does God Love Gay People?","Some of the hardest questions our culture deals with today revolves around homosexuality.

Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon and his close&nbsp;associate, Sophie Neveu, match wits with a faceless power broker working for Opus&nbsp;Dei, a shadowy Catholic sect. This sect is believed to be plotting to seize the secret&nbsp;guarded by a medieval organization called the Priory of Sion. Unless Langdon and&nbsp;Neveu can decipher the puzzle in time, the secret of the priory and a stunning&nbsp;historical truth will be lost forever. According to \u003Ci>The Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi>, the person on&nbsp;Jesus’ right is not the apostle John but rather Jesus’ wife, Mary Magdalene, so the&nbsp;Holy Grail is not the cup from which Jesus drank at the last supper, but it’s in fact&nbsp;a person, Mary Magdalene, who in her womb bore Jesus’ child through whom His&nbsp;physical bloodline is continued today.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Dan Brown, the author of the \u003Ci>Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi>, is spuriously maintaining that his book&nbsp;is not merely fiction, but fact, which considerably ups the ante regarding his claims.&nbsp;In fact, page one of \u003Ci>The Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi> contains the astonishing assertions that “all&nbsp;descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals in this novel are&nbsp;accurate.”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>And to help us find the truth, Dr. Michael Green and Dr. Andreas Kostenberger&nbsp;are here to assist us. Both have written extensively on \u003Ci>The Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi> and are&nbsp;preeminent New Testament scholars and apologists of our day. \u003Ci>The Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;claims that it is not the Biblical Gospels, but other ancient writings called the Gnostic&nbsp;Gospels, that tell the real story of Jesus. But who were the Gnostics?\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The Gnostics saw the body as the prison of the soul, and you escaped from it via the&nbsp;secret knowledge that they had. The rejected the God of the Old Testament as an evil&nbsp;spirit. They were elitist, they were selfish, and they saw salvation as sort of flowing&nbsp;from their own selves and not from Christ. Hardly very Christian.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>What these Gnostics left behind are some writings that are known as the Gnostic&nbsp;gospels, dug up in a big, great big jar in the middle of the desert in Egypt, and they’re&nbsp;hopelessly unreliable. I’ll tell you why. First of all, they’re not gospels at all. A gospel&nbsp;has the life, the death, the resurrection of Jesus. They don't have that at all. They&nbsp;have conversations with the supposedly risen Christ and they are very strange&nbsp;stuff. Secondly, they’re late. They were written a hundred and fifty to two hundred&nbsp;and fifty years after the real gospels and they were never accepted into any list of&nbsp;the church’s books. Most of them only survive in one copy, and that copy is full of&nbsp;holes. And thirdly, their contents are crazy. In one place, they claim that children&nbsp;are conceived by kissing and women cannot be saved unless they become men.&nbsp;Fascinating to me that the uh, few scholars that give much credit to the Gnostic&nbsp;gospels - most of them are women. But of course, Gnosticism’s got no place for&nbsp;women whatsoever. Ah, well, just shows how crazy it is. The Gnostics stand out in&nbsp;strong contrast to real Christianity. You see, real Christianity is rooted in the work&nbsp;of Jesus Christ, not in some pretended knowledge. Real Christianity flowed from&nbsp;the inspired Scriptures of the Old Testament and the Gospels, not from some secret&nbsp;theosophical speculation. And real Christianity came from a God Whose revelation&nbsp;is clear for all to see in the Bible, not in the magical incantations of Gnosticism. And&nbsp;real Christianity demanded a holy life, not self-mortification on the one hand, or&nbsp;sexual indulgence on the other. And those are the two opposite results you get once&nbsp;you start rubbishing the human body. Real Christianity looked for the salvation of all&nbsp;who put their trust in Christ, not for a narrow-minded, arrogant few.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>As you see, the Gnostics and their gospels are unreliable, while the Biblical Gospels&nbsp;are reliable and true. Nevertheless, despite the fact that the Gnostic gospels were&nbsp;written well over a hundred years after Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and despite&nbsp;the fact that the Gnostic gospels make all kinds of highly questionable claims about&nbsp;Jesus and the Christian faith, \u003Ci>The Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi> builds its argument on passages&nbsp;found only in the Gnostic gospels, which claim that Mary Magdalene had a special&nbsp;relationship with Christ.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>There is not a single shred of evidence in any ancient document that Jesus was&nbsp;married, either to Mary Magdalene or to anyone else. \u003Ci>The Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi> says that&nbsp;if Jesus had been single, the New Testament would certainly mention this because&nbsp;Jewish males were all expected to be married. But Old Testament prophets like&nbsp;Jeremiah or Elijah were not married,&nbsp;neither was John the Baptist. Jesus Himself&nbsp;commends those who may not marry for the sake of God’s kingdom and so does&nbsp;the apostle Paul, so people in Jesus’ day would have&nbsp;been familiar with the tradition&nbsp;that some holy servants of God remained unmarried. All the New Testament says&nbsp;about Mary Magdalene is that she had seven demons exorcised by Jesus and that&nbsp;she was one of a group of women who helped support Jesus out of their own means.&nbsp;It also says that Mary was the first to see Jesus after the resurrection. That’s very&nbsp;significant and makes Mary a very important person in the Bible, but obviously it&nbsp;doesn’t mean that she was Jesus’ wife. So, then, where does \u003Ci>The Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi> get&nbsp;the idea that Mary was Jesus’ wife?\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The answer is the Gnostic gospels, specifically, the Gospel of Philip, which was&nbsp;written well over a hundred years after the biblical gospels. This one passage&nbsp;in the Gospel of Philip, which reads: “There were three who always walked with&nbsp;the lord: Mary his mother and her sister and Magdalene, the one who was called&nbsp;his companion. His sister and his mother and his companion were each a Mary.”&nbsp;(Gnostic Gospel of Philip 59:9-10)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>In the Gospel of Philip, Mary Magdalene is called Jesus’ companion, but the word&nbsp;for companion does not mean wife or spouse as \u003Ci>The Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi> claims, but&nbsp;close follower. It is used in this way ten times in the New Testament and not once&nbsp;implies a marital or sexual relationship. In the same Gnostic Gospel of Philip, we&nbsp;read:&nbsp;“And the companion of the Lord… Mary Magdalene… loved… more than…&nbsp;all… the disciples… and used to… kiss her… often… on her…” (Gnostic Gospel of&nbsp;Philip 63:34-64:5)\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>And that second passage is full of gaps and breaks off at the most&nbsp;critical point. Did Jesus kiss Mary on the cheek… on the lips? In any case, kissing was&nbsp;perfectly normal in the ancient world as it is in countries like France today. The New&nbsp;Testament talks about greeting one another with a holy kiss. The bottom line is this: The New Testament is completely silent about Jesus’ marriage to Mary Magdalene&nbsp;and the two Gnostic passages \u003Ci>The Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi> cites don’t call Mary Jesus’ wife but&nbsp;only say, as the New Testament does, that she was a close follower of Jesus.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The underlying agenda in \u003Ci>The Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi> is to reduce Jesus to human&nbsp;proportions as one who was married like the rest of us, who had a child, and so on.&nbsp;But the New Testament paints quite a different picture. What does it tell us about&nbsp;Jesus? And especially about His divine status, something \u003Ci>The Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi> says He&nbsp;only acquired in the fourth century. In \u003Ci>The Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi>, Teabing declared: “...until&nbsp;that moment in history, the fourth century AD, Jesus was viewed by his followers as&nbsp;a mortal prophet… a great and powerful man, but a man nonetheless.”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Jesus certainly believed that He shared the nature of God, and He made that claim&nbsp;in Matthew’s Gospel chapter twenty-six, verse sixty-three and following: “The high&nbsp;priest said to Him, ‘I charge You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the&nbsp;Christ, the Son of God.’ ‘Yes, it is as you say,’ Jesus replied. ‘But I say to all of you: In&nbsp;the future you will see the Son of Man (that was His name for Himself) sitting at the&nbsp;right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.’” (Matthew 26:63-64)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The first century church certainly believed that Jesus was God. Paul, writing to the&nbsp;Philippians in chapter two, verses five through seven, he says “Your attitude should&nbsp;be the same as &nbsp;that of Christ Jesus, who, being in (the) very nature (of) God, did not&nbsp;consider equality with God something to be grasped (onto).” (Philippians 2:5-7)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>And then again, in Colossians chapter two verse nine: “In Christ all the fullness of the&nbsp;Godhead lives in bodily form.” (Colossians 2:9)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Incredibly powerful statement. The first letter of John, chapter five verse twenty,&nbsp;refers to “Jesus Christ… the true God and eternal life.” (1 John 5:20)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>And even Jesus’ opponents understood that He claimed to be God. In the Gospel of John, it says: “For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him: not only was He&nbsp;breaking the Sabbath, but He was (even) calling God His own Father, making Himself&nbsp;equal with God.” (John 5:18)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>And there are many more passages I could have mentioned that also clearly refer to&nbsp;Jesus as God. Early church history points to the divinity of Christ as well. Clement,&nbsp;for example, one of the early church fathers, wrote in AD 100: “We must think of&nbsp;Jesus Christ as we do of God.” At much the same time, the church father Ignatius&nbsp;wrote that: “God himself came among us in human form.” Also Pliny the Younger, a&nbsp;roman governor, who was not even a Christian, wrote in A.D. 112 to Emperor Trajan&nbsp;that Christians were singing a “hymn to Christ as a God.”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>All these passages from the New Testament and the early church fathers blatantly&nbsp;contradict \u003Ci>The Da Vinci’s Code\u003C\u002Fi>’s claim that Jesus did not consider Himself to be&nbsp;God and that He was viewed as a mere mortal until the fourth century and at only&nbsp;at that time was He elevated to the status of deity for political reasons by Emperor&nbsp;Constantine at the Council of Nicaea. Obviously, Jesus’ deity is emphatically not a&nbsp;fourth century A.D. invention as is alleged by \u003Ci>Th\u003C\u002Fi>\u003Ci>e Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi>.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Now if Scripture is true, and there is no evidence for Jesus’ marriage to Mary&nbsp;Magdalene, there is no need for any of the other claims. There is no need for a secret&nbsp;society to guard this secret. There is no need for the church to cover up evidence&nbsp;that doesn’t exist. And there is no basis for Leonardo to secretly encode information&nbsp;about Jesus’ marriage to Mary Magdalene in his paintings. So, the whole theory&nbsp;underlying \u003Ci>The Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi> collapses.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>There are really only two options you can have, one is to worship nature, the other&nbsp;is to worship nature’s Creator. Brown says early Christianity suppressed what he&nbsp;calls the sacred feminine. In point of fact, the sacred feminine turns out to be a cold,&nbsp;pitiless naturalism in which we are all trapped. There is nothing beyond it.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>So, there is no Da Vinci Code, no secret marriage of Jesus to Mary Magdalene, no&nbsp;lovechild named Sara springing from that union who carried on Jesus’ bloodline&nbsp;through the French&nbsp;Merovingian kings. Jesus claimed to be God and was believed to&nbsp;be God by His first followers. As many holy men in Jewish life and as was fitting for&nbsp;the One Who is the Son of God, Jesus was unmarried, and Jesus’ legacy continues not&nbsp;in a line of physical descendants, but in the church of those who believe in Jesus as&nbsp;God and Lord and Savior.

Preguntas como “¿Era Jesús Dios?” “¿Estaba&nbsp;casado Jesús?” e “¿Es fiable la Biblia?” En esta respuesta, examinaremos más de cerca&nbsp;algunos de los supuestos hechos históricos en \u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi> para ver si esta&nbsp;posición puede sostenerse mediante una investigación histórica responsable.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi> lleva al espectador a una vertiginosa carrera por París, Londres&nbsp;y otros lugares de Europa. El simbologista de Harvard Robert Langdon y su estrecha&nbsp;colaboradora, Sophie Neveu, miden sus fuerzas con un poder oculto que trabaja para el Opus&nbsp;Dei, una secta católica en la sombra. Se cree que esta secta planea apoderarse del secreto&nbsp;guardado por una organización medieval llamada el Priorato de Sión. A menos que Langdon y&nbsp;Neveu logren descifrar el enigma a tiempo, el secreto del priorato y una asombrosa&nbsp;verdad histórica se perderán para siempre. Según \u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>, la persona que está a&nbsp;la derecha de Jesús no es el apóstol Juan, sino su esposa, María Magdalena, por lo que el&nbsp;Santo Grial no es la copa de la que bebió Jesús en la última cena, sino que en realidad&nbsp;es una persona, María Magdalena, que en su vientre llevó al hijo de Jesús, a través del cual&nbsp;su linaje físico continúa hoy en día.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Dan Brown, el autor de \u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>, sostiene de manera espuria que su libro&nbsp;no es mera ficción, sino un hecho, lo que eleva considerablemente la apuesta respecto a sus afirmaciones.&nbsp;De hecho, la primera página de \u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi> contiene las asombrosas afirmaciones de que “todas&nbsp;las descripciones de obras de arte, arquitectura, documentos y rituales secretos en esta novela son&nbsp;precisas”.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Y para ayudarnos a encontrar la verdad, el Dr. Michael Green y el Dr. Andreas Kostenberger&nbsp;están aquí para asistirnos. Ambos han escrito extensamente sobre \u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi> y son&nbsp;destacados estudiosos del Nuevo Testamento y apologistas de nuestro tiempo. \u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;afirma que no son los Evangelios bíblicos, sino otros escritos antiguos llamados los Evangelios&nbsp;Gnósticos, los que cuentan la verdadera historia de Jesús. Pero ¿quiénes eran los gnósticos?\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Los gnósticos veían el cuerpo como la prisión del alma, y uno escapaba de ella mediante el&nbsp;conocimiento secreto que ellos poseían. Rechazaban al Dios del Antiguo Testamento como un espíritu maligno. Eran elitistas, egoístas, y veían la salvación como algo que fluía&nbsp;de ellos mismos y no de Cristo. Difícilmente muy cristianos.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Lo que estos gnósticos dejaron atrás son algunos escritos conocidos como los evangelios&nbsp;gnósticos, desenterrados en un gran, muy grande recipiente en medio del desierto de Egipto, y son&nbsp;totalmente poco fiables. Te diré por qué. En primer lugar, no son evangelios en absoluto. Un evangelio&nbsp;contiene la vida, la muerte y la resurrección de Jesús. Ellos no tienen nada de eso. Tienen&nbsp;conversaciones con el supuesto Cristo resucitado y son material muy extraño.&nbsp;En segundo lugar, son tardíos. Fueron escritos entre ciento cincuenta y doscientos&nbsp;cincuenta años después de los evangelios reales y nunca fueron aceptados en ninguna lista de&nbsp;los libros de la iglesia. La mayoría de ellos solo sobreviven en una copia, y esa copia está llena de&nbsp;lagunas. Y en tercer lugar, su contenido es disparatado. En un lugar afirman que los niños&nbsp;se conciben besándose y que las mujeres no pueden salvarse a menos que se conviertan en hombres.&nbsp;Fascinante para mí que los pocos estudiosos que dan crédito a los evangelios gnósticos —la mayoría de ellos son mujeres. Pero, por supuesto, el gnosticismo no tiene lugar para&nbsp;las mujeres en absoluto. Ah, bueno, solo demuestra lo disparatado que es. Los gnósticos destacan en&nbsp;fuerte contraste con el cristianismo real. Verás, el cristianismo real está arraigado en la obra&nbsp;de Jesucristo, no en algún conocimiento fingido. El cristianismo real surgió de&nbsp;las Escrituras inspiradas del Antiguo Testamento y los Evangelios, no de alguna especulación&nbsp;teosófica secreta. Y el cristianismo real provenía de un Dios cuya revelación&nbsp;es clara para todos en la Biblia, no en las incantaciones mágicas del gnosticismo. Y&nbsp;el cristianismo real exigía una vida santa, no la automortificación por un lado, o&nbsp;la indulgencia sexual por el otro. Y esos son los dos resultados opuestos que se obtienen una vez&nbsp;que empiezas a despreciar el cuerpo humano. El cristianismo real buscaba la salvación de todos&nbsp;los que ponen su confianza en Cristo, no de unos pocos arrogantes y estrechos de mente.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Como ves, los gnósticos y sus evangelios son poco fiables, mientras que los Evangelios&nbsp;bíblicos son fiables y verdaderos. Sin embargo, a pesar de que los evangelios gnósticos fueron&nbsp;escritos más de cien años después de Mateo, Marcos, Lucas y Juan, y a pesar&nbsp;de que los evangelios gnósticos hacen todo tipo de afirmaciones muy cuestionables sobre&nbsp;Jesús y la fe cristiana, \u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi> construye su argumento sobre pasajes&nbsp;que solo se encuentran en los evangelios gnósticos, que afirman que María Magdalena tenía una relación&nbsp;especial con Cristo.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>No hay ni un solo indicio de evidencia en ningún documento antiguo de que Jesús estuviera&nbsp;casado, ya sea con María Magdalena o con cualquier otra persona. \u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>dice que&nbsp;si Jesús hubiera estado soltero, el Nuevo Testamento ciertamente lo mencionaría porque&nbsp;se esperaba que todos los varones judíos estuvieran casados. Pero los profetas del Antiguo Testamento como&nbsp;Jeremías o Elías no estaban casados,&nbsp;tampoco lo estaba Juan el Bautista. El mismo Jesús&nbsp;elogia a quienes pueden no casarse por causa del reino de Dios y también lo hace&nbsp;el apóstol Pablo, de modo que la gente en tiempos de Jesús habría estado&nbsp;familiarizada con la tradición&nbsp;de que algunos siervos santos de Dios permanecían solteros. Todo lo que dice el Nuevo Testamento&nbsp;sobre María Magdalena es que tuvo siete demonios expulsados por Jesús y que&nbsp;era una de un grupo de mujeres que ayudaban a sostener a Jesús con sus propios recursos.&nbsp;También dice que María fue la primera en ver a Jesús después de la resurrección. Eso es muy&nbsp;significativo y hace de María una persona muy importante en la Biblia, pero obviamente no&nbsp;significa que fuera la esposa de Jesús. Entonces, ¿de dónde saca \u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi> la idea de que María era la esposa de Jesús?\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>La respuesta está en los evangelios gnósticos, específicamente en el Evangelio de Felipe, escrito más de cien años después de los evangelios bíblicos. Este pasaje del Evangelio de Felipe dice: “Había tres que siempre caminaban con el Señor: María su madre y su hermana y Magdalena, la que era llamada su compañera. Su hermana y su madre y su compañera eran cada una una María.” (Evangelio Gnóstico de Felipe 59:9-10)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>En el Evangelio de Felipe, María Magdalena es llamada compañera de Jesús, pero la palabra para compañera no significa esposa o cónyuge como afirma \u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>, sino seguidora cercana. Se usa de esta manera diez veces en el Nuevo Testamento y en ninguna implica una relación matrimonial o sexual. En el mismo Evangelio Gnóstico de Felipe leemos:&nbsp;“Y la compañera del Señor… María Magdalena… amaba… más que… todos… los discípulos… y solía… besarla… a menudo… en su…” (Evangelio Gnóstico de Felipe 63:34-64:5)\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Y ese segundo pasaje está lleno de lagunas y se interrumpe en el punto más crítico. ¿Besó Jesús a María en la mejilla… en los labios? En cualquier caso, el beso era perfectamente normal en el mundo antiguo como lo es hoy en países como Francia. El Nuevo Testamento habla de saludarse unos a otros con un beso santo. En resumen: el Nuevo Testamento guarda completo silencio sobre el matrimonio de Jesús con María Magdalena y los dos pasajes gnósticos que cita \u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi> no llaman a María esposa de Jesús, sino que solo dicen, como hace el Nuevo Testamento, que era una seguidora cercana de Jesús.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>La agenda subyacente en \u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi> es reducir a Jesús a proporciones humanas como alguien que estaba casado como el resto de nosotros, que tuvo un hijo, etc. Pero el Nuevo Testamento pinta un cuadro muy diferente. ¿Qué nos dice sobre Jesús? Y especialmente sobre su condición divina, algo que \u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi> afirma que adquirió solo en el siglo IV. En \u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>, Teabing declaró: “...hasta ese momento en la historia, el siglo IV d.C., Jesús era visto por sus seguidores como un profeta mortal… un hombre grande y poderoso, pero un hombre al fin y al cabo.”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Jesús ciertamente creía que compartía la naturaleza de Dios, y lo afirmó en el Evangelio de Mateo capítulo veintiséis, versículo sesenta y tres y siguientes: “El sumo sacerdote le dijo: ‘Te conjuro por el Dios viviente: Dinos si tú eres el Cristo, el Hijo de Dios.’ ‘Sí, como tú dices,’ respondió Jesús. ‘Pero yo os digo a todos: En el futuro veréis al Hijo del Hombre (ese era el nombre que Él se daba a sí mismo) sentado a la derecha del Poderoso y viniendo sobre las nubes del cielo.’” (Mateo 26:63-64)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>La iglesia del primer siglo ciertamente creía que Jesús era Dios. Pablo, escribiendo a los Filipenses en el capítulo dos, versículos cinco al siete, dice: “Vuestra actitud debe ser la misma que la de Cristo Jesús, quien, siendo en (la) misma naturaleza (de) Dios, no consideró el ser igual a Dios como algo a qué aferrarse.” (Filipenses 2:5-7)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Y luego, en Colosenses capítulo dos versículo nueve: “En Cristo habita corporalmente toda la plenitud de la Deidad.” (Colosenses 2:9)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Una declaración increíblemente poderosa. La primera carta de Juan, capítulo cinco versículo veinte, se refiere a “Jesucristo… el Dios verdadero y la vida eterna.” (1 Juan 5:20)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>E incluso los opositores de Jesús entendieron que Él afirmaba ser Dios. En el Evangelio de Juan dice: “Por esta razón los judíos intentaban con más empeño matarlo: no solo porque quebrantaba el sábado, sino porque también llamaba a Dios su propio Padre, haciéndose igual a Dios.” (Juan 5:18)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Y hay muchos más pasajes que podría haber mencionado que también se refieren claramente a Jesús como Dios. La historia temprana de la iglesia también apunta a la divinidad de Cristo. Clemente, por ejemplo, uno de los padres de la iglesia primitiva, escribió en el año 100 d.C.: “Debemos pensar en Jesucristo como pensamos en Dios.” Casi al mismo tiempo, el padre de la iglesia Ignacio escribió que: “Dios mismo vino entre nosotros en forma humana.” También Plinio el Joven, un gobernador romano que ni siquiera era cristiano, escribió en el 112 d.C. al emperador Trajano que los cristianos cantaban un “himno a Cristo como a un Dios.”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Todos estos pasajes del Nuevo Testamento y de los padres de la iglesia primitiva contradicen abiertamente \u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>la afirmación de que Jesús no se consideraba a Sí mismo Dios y que fue visto como un simple mortal hasta el siglo IV y solo entonces fue elevado al estatus de deidad por razones políticas por el emperador Constantino en el Concilio de Nicea. Obviamente, la deidad de Jesús no es en absoluto una invención del siglo IV d. C. como se alega en \u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Ahora bien, si la Escritura es verdadera y no hay evidencia del matrimonio de Jesús con María Magdalena, no hay necesidad de ninguna de las otras afirmaciones. No hay necesidad de una sociedad secreta para guardar este secreto. No hay necesidad de que la iglesia encubra evidencia que no existe. Y no hay base para que Leonardo codifique secretamente información sobre el matrimonio de Jesús con María Magdalena en sus pinturas. Así que toda la teoría subyacente de \u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi> se derrumba.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>En realidad, solo hay dos opciones: una es adorar a la naturaleza, la otra es adorar al Creador de la naturaleza. Brown dice que el cristianismo primitivo suprimió lo que él llama lo sagrado femenino. En realidad, lo sagrado femenino resulta ser un naturalismo frío e implacable en el que todos estamos atrapados. No hay nada más allá de él.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Por lo tanto, no hay Código Da Vinci, ni matrimonio secreto de Jesús con María Magdalena, ni hija llamada Sara nacida de esa unión que continuó el linaje de Jesús a través de los reyes merovingios franceses. Jesús afirmó ser Dios y fue creído como Dios por Sus primeros seguidores. Como muchos hombres santos en la vida judía y como correspondía al que es el Hijo de Dios, Jesús permaneció soltero, y el legado de Jesús continúa no en una línea de descendientes físicos, sino en la iglesia de quienes creen en Jesús como Dios, Señor y Salvador.

Tous deux ont beaucoup écrit sur \u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi> et sont&nbsp;des éminents spécialistes du Nouveau Testament et apologistes de notre époque. \u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;prétend que ce ne sont pas les Évangiles bibliques, mais d'autres écrits anciens appelés les Évangiles&nbsp;gnostiques, qui racontent la véritable histoire de Jésus. Mais qui étaient les gnostiques ?\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Les gnostiques considéraient le corps comme la prison de l'âme, et on s'en échappait par la&nbsp;connaissance secrète qu'ils possédaient. Ils rejetaient le Dieu de l'Ancien Testament comme un esprit&nbsp;maléfique. Ils étaient élitistes, égoïstes, et voyaient le salut comme une sorte d'émanation&nbsp;d'eux-mêmes et non du Christ. Pas très chrétiens.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Ce que ces gnostiques ont laissé derrière eux sont des écrits connus sous le nom d'Évangiles&nbsp;gnostiques, découverts dans un grand, très grand pot au milieu du désert en Égypte, et ils sont&nbsp;totalement peu fiables. Je vais vous dire pourquoi. Tout d'abord, ce ne sont pas des évangiles du tout. Un évangile&nbsp;comporte la vie, la mort, la résurrection de Jésus. Ils n'ont rien de tout cela. Ils&nbsp;contiennent des conversations avec le Christ soi-disant ressuscité et ce sont des choses très étranges.&nbsp;Deuxièmement, ils sont tardifs. Ils ont été écrits cent cinquante à deux cent&nbsp;cinquante ans après les vrais évangiles et ils n'ont jamais été acceptés dans aucune liste des&nbsp;livres de l'Église. La plupart d'entre eux ne survivent que dans un seul exemplaire, et cet exemplaire est plein de&nbsp;trous. Et troisièmement, leur contenu est fou. À un endroit, ils prétendent que les enfants&nbsp;sont conçus par un baiser et que les femmes ne peuvent être sauvées que si elles deviennent des hommes.&nbsp;Fascinant pour moi que les quelques érudits qui accordent du crédit aux Évangiles gnostiques - la plupart d'entre eux sont des femmes. Mais bien sûr, le gnosticisme n'a aucune place pour&nbsp;les femmes. Ah, eh bien, cela montre à quel point c'est fou. Les gnostiques contrastent fortement avec le vrai christianisme. Vous voyez, le vrai christianisme est enraciné dans l'œuvre&nbsp;de Jésus-Christ, pas dans quelque connaissance prétendue. Le vrai christianisme découlait des&nbsp;Écritures inspirées de l'Ancien Testament et des Évangiles, pas de quelque spéculation&nbsp;théosophique secrète. Et le vrai christianisme venait d'un Dieu dont la révélation&nbsp;est claire pour tous dans la Bible, pas dans les incantations magiques du gnosticisme. Et&nbsp;le vrai christianisme exigeait une vie sainte, pas l'automortification d'une part, ou&nbsp;l'indulgence sexuelle d'autre part. Et ce sont les deux résultats opposés que l'on obtient une fois&nbsp;qu'on commence à dénigrer le corps humain. Le vrai christianisme cherchait le salut de tous&nbsp;ceux qui mettent leur confiance dans le Christ, pas pour une minorité étroite d'esprit et arrogante.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Comme vous le voyez, les gnostiques et leurs évangiles sont peu fiables, tandis que les Évangiles&nbsp;bibliques sont fiables et vrais. Néanmoins, malgré le fait que les évangiles gnostiques ont été&nbsp;écrits bien plus de cent ans après Matthieu, Marc, Luc et Jean, et malgré&nbsp;le fait que les évangiles gnostiques font toutes sortes d'affirmations hautement contestables sur&nbsp;Jésus et la foi chrétienne, \u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi> fonde son argument sur des passages&nbsp;trouvés uniquement dans les évangiles gnostiques, qui prétendent que Marie-Madeleine avait une relation&nbsp;spéciale avec le Christ.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Il n'existe pas le moindre fragment de preuve dans aucun document ancien que Jésus était&nbsp;marié, que ce soit à Marie-Madeleine ou à quelqu'un d'autre. \u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>\u003C\u002Fdiv>dit que&nbsp;si Jésus avait été célibataire, le Nouveau Testament l’aurait certainement mentionné, car&nbsp;les hommes juifs étaient tous censés être mariés. Mais les prophètes de l’Ancien Testament comme&nbsp;Jérémie ou Élie n’étaient pas mariés,&nbsp;pas plus que Jean-Baptiste. Jésus lui-même&nbsp;fait l’éloge de ceux qui ne se marient pas pour le royaume de Dieu, et l’apôtre Paul en fait autant, de sorte que les gens du temps de Jésus&nbsp;connaissaient la tradition&nbsp;selon laquelle certains serviteurs saints de Dieu restaient célibataires. Tout ce que le Nouveau Testament dit&nbsp;à propos de Marie Madeleine, c’est qu’elle avait sept démons que Jésus a chassés et qu’elle faisait partie d’un groupe de femmes qui soutenaient Jésus de leurs propres moyens.&nbsp;Il dit aussi que Marie fut la première à voir Jésus après la résurrection. C’est très&nbsp;significatif et cela fait de Marie une personne très importante dans la Bible, mais cela ne signifie évidemment pas qu’elle était l’épouse de Jésus. Alors, d’où vient l’idée dans \u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi> que Marie était l’épouse de Jésus ?\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>La réponse se trouve dans les évangiles gnostiques, en particulier l’Évangile de Philippe, qui a été&nbsp;rédigé bien plus de cent ans après les évangiles bibliques. Ce passage&nbsp;de l’Évangile de Philippe, qui dit : « Il y avait trois personnes qui marchaient toujours avec&nbsp;le Seigneur : Marie sa mère et sa sœur et Madeleine, celle qui était appelée&nbsp;sa compagne. Sa sœur et sa mère et sa compagne étaient chacune une Marie. »&nbsp;(Évangile gnostique de Philippe 59:9-10)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Dans l’Évangile de Philippe, Marie Madeleine est appelée la compagne de Jésus, mais le mot&nbsp;pour compagne ne signifie pas épouse ou conjointe comme le prétend \u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>, mais&nbsp;proche disciple. Il est utilisé de cette manière dix fois dans le Nouveau Testament et n’implique jamais une relation maritale ou sexuelle. Dans le même Évangile gnostique de Philippe, nous lisons :&nbsp;« Et la compagne du Seigneur… Marie Madeleine… aimait… plus que…&nbsp;tous… les disciples… et embrassait… souvent… sur… » (Évangile gnostique de&nbsp;Philippe 63:34-64:5)\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Et ce second passage est plein de lacunes et s’interrompt au moment le plus&nbsp;critique. Jésus embrassait-il Marie sur la joue… sur les lèvres ? Quoi qu’il en soit, le baiser était&nbsp;parfaitement normal dans le monde antique, comme il l’est aujourd’hui dans des pays comme la France. Le Nouveau&nbsp;Testament parle de se saluer par un saint baiser. En fin de compte : le Nouveau Testament est complètement muet sur un mariage de Jésus avec Marie Madeleine&nbsp;et les deux passages gnostiques cités par \u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi> n’appellent pas Marie l’épouse de Jésus, mais disent seulement, comme le Nouveau Testament, qu’elle était une proche disciple de Jésus.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>L’intention sous-jacente dans \u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi> est de réduire Jésus à des proportions humaines&nbsp;comme quelqu’un qui était marié comme nous tous, qui a eu un enfant, etc.&nbsp;Mais le Nouveau Testament brosse un tableau tout à fait différent. Que nous dit-il sur&nbsp;Jésus ? Et surtout sur son statut divin, quelque chose que \u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi> prétend qu’Il n’a acquis qu’au quatrième siècle. Dans \u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>, Teabing déclare : « …jusqu’à&nbsp;ce moment de l’histoire, le quatrième siècle après J.-C., Jésus était considéré par ses disciples comme&nbsp;un prophète mortel… un homme grand et puissant, mais un homme néanmoins. »\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Jésus croyait certainement partager la nature de Dieu, et Il l’affirma&nbsp;dans l’Évangile de Matthieu, chapitre vingt-six, verset soixante-trois et suivants : « Le grand&nbsp;prêtre lui dit : “Je t’adjure par le Dieu vivant de nous dire si tu es le&nbsp;Christ, le Fils de Dieu.” “C’est toi-même qui l’as dit,” répondit Jésus. “De plus, je vous le déclare :&nbsp;vous verrez désormais le Fils de l’homme assis à la&nbsp;droite du Puissant et venant sur les nuées du ciel.” » (Matthieu 26:63-64)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>L’Église du premier siècle croyait certainement que Jésus était Dieu. Paul, écrivant aux&nbsp;Philippiens au chapitre deux, versets cinq à sept, dit : « Ayez entre vous les dispositions que l’on doit avoir dans le Christ Jésus : lui qui,&nbsp;de condition divine, ne retint pas jalousement le rang qui l’égalait à Dieu. » (Philippiens 2:5-7)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Et encore, dans l’Épître aux Colossiens, chapitre deux, verset neuf : « Car en lui habite corporellement toute la plénitude de la&nbsp;divinité. » (Colossiens 2:9)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Déclaration incroyablement puissante. La première épître de Jean, chapitre cinq, verset vingt,&nbsp;parle de « Jésus-Christ… le vrai Dieu et la vie éternelle. » (1 Jean 5:20)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Même les adversaires de Jésus comprenaient qu’Il prétendait être Dieu. Dans l’Évangile de Jean, il est dit : « C’est pourquoi les Juifs cherchaient encore plus à le tuer : non seulement il violait le sabbat, mais il disait aussi que Dieu était son propre Père, se faisant lui-même&nbsp;égal à Dieu. » (Jean 5:18)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Et il y a bien d’autres passages que j’aurais pu mentionner et qui désignent clairement Jésus comme Dieu. L’histoire de l’Église primitive témoigne également de la divinité du Christ. Clément,&nbsp;par exemple, l’un des Pères de l’Église primitive, écrivit vers l’an 100 : « Nous devons considérer&nbsp;Jésus-Christ comme nous le faisons de Dieu. » À peu près à la même époque, le Père de l’Église Ignace&nbsp;écrivit que : « Dieu lui-même est venu parmi nous sous forme humaine. » De même, Pline le Jeune, gouverneur romain, qui n’était même pas chrétien, écrivit en 112 après J.-C. à l’empereur Trajan&nbsp;que les chrétiens chantaient un « hymne au Christ comme à un dieu. »\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Tous ces passages du Nouveau Testament et des Pères de l’Église contredisent ouvertement \u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>l’affirmation selon laquelle Jésus ne se considérait pas comme Dieu et qu’Il était considéré comme un simple mortel jusqu’au quatrième siècle, moment où Il aurait été élevé au rang de divinité pour des raisons politiques par l’empereur Constantin lors du Concile de Nicée. De toute évidence, la divinité de Jésus n’est absolument pas une invention du quatrième siècle après J.-C. comme l’affirme \u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Or, si l’Écriture est vraie et qu’il n’existe aucune preuve du mariage de Jésus avec Marie Madeleine, il n’est nul besoin des autres affirmations. Il n’est pas nécessaire qu’une société secrète protège ce secret. Il n’est pas nécessaire que l’Église dissimule des preuves qui n’existent pas. Et il n’y a aucune raison pour que Léonard de Vinci ait secrètement encodé des informations sur le mariage de Jésus avec Marie Madeleine dans ses tableaux. Ainsi, toute la théorie sous-jacente au \u003Ci>Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi> s’effondre.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Il n’y a en réalité que deux options possibles : soit on adore la nature, soit on adore le Créateur de la nature. Brown affirme que le christianisme primitif a réprimé ce qu’il appelle le sacré féminin. En réalité, le sacré féminin se révèle être un naturalisme froid et impitoyable dans lequel nous sommes tous prisonniers. Il n’y a rien au-delà.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Il n’y a donc pas de Code Da Vinci, pas de mariage secret de Jésus avec Marie Madeleine, pas d’enfant de l’amour nommé Sara issu de cette union et qui aurait perpétué la lignée de Jésus à travers les rois mérovingiens français. Jésus a affirmé être Dieu et a été cru comme tel par Ses premiers disciples. Comme beaucoup d’hommes saints dans la vie juive et comme il convenait à Celui qui est le Fils de Dieu, Jésus était célibataire, et l’héritage de Jésus se poursuit non pas dans une lignée de descendants physiques, mais dans l’Église de ceux qui croient en Jésus comme Dieu, Seigneur et Sauveur.

어쨌든, 키스는 고대 세계에서 완전히 정상적인 일이었으며, 오늘날 프랑스 같은 나라에서도 그렇습니다. 신약성경은 서로 거룩한 입맞춤으로 인사하라고 말합니다. 결론은 다음과 같습니다. 신약성경은 예수님과 마리아 막달레나의 결혼에 대해 완전히 침묵하고 있으며, \u003Ci>다빈치 코드\u003C\u002Fi>가 인용하는 두 영지주의 구절은 마리아를 예수님의 아내라고 부르지 않고, 신약성경이 말하는 것처럼 그녀가 예수님의 가까운 제자였다는 것만을 말합니다.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Ci>다빈치 코드\u003C\u002Fi>의 근본적인 의도는 예수님을 우리와 같은 결혼한 사람, 자녀를 둔 사람 등으로 인간적인 수준으로 격하시키는 것입니다. 그러나 신약성경은 상당히 다른 그림을 그립니다. 그것은 예수님에 대해, 특히 그의 신성한 지위에 대해 무엇을 말하고 있습니까? \u003Ci>다빈치 코드\u003C\u002Fi>는 예수님이 4세기에 와서야 그 지위를 얻었다고 말합니다. \u003Ci>다빈치 코드\u003C\u002Fi>에서 티빙은 이렇게 선언합니다. “…역사상 그 순간, 즉 4세기 AD까지, 예수님은 그의 추종자들에게 필멸의 예언자로 여겨졌다… 위대하고 강력한 사람이었지만, 그래도 한 인간이었다.”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>예수님은 자신이 하나님의 본성을 공유한다고 확신하셨고, 마태복음 26장 63절 이하에서 그 주장을 하셨습니다. “대제사장이 그에게 말하였다. ‘살아 계신 하나님으로 맹세하여 우리에게 말하시오. 당신이 그리스도, 하나님의 아들이오?’ 예수께서 대답하셨다. ‘네가 말한 대로이다. 그러나 내가 너희에게 말한다. 앞으로 너희는 인자(그가 자신을 부르신 이름)가 권능의 오른편에 앉아 하늘 구름을 타고 오는 것을 보게 될 것이다.’”(마태복음 26:63-64)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>1세기 교회는 분명히 예수님이 하나님이시라고 믿었습니다. 빌립보서 2장 5-7절에서 바울은 이렇게 말합니다. “너희는 그리스도 예수의 마음을 품으라. 그는 근본 하나님의 본체시나 하나님과 동등됨을 취할 것으로 여기지 아니하시고…”(빌립보서 2:5-7)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>그리고 골로새서 2장 9절에서 다시 말합니다. “그리스도 안에는 신성의 모든 충만이 육체로 거하시고…”(골로새서 2:9)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>놀랍도록 강력한 선언입니다. 요한일서 5장 20절은 “예수 그리스도… 참 하나님이시며 영생이시라”고 말합니다.(요한일서 5:20)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>심지어 예수님의 반대자들도 그가 하나님이라고 주장하는 것을 이해했습니다. 요한복음에서 말합니다. “이 때문에 유대인들은 더욱더 그를 죽이려 하였다. 안식일을 범할 뿐만 아니라, 하나님을 자기의 친아버지라고 불러 자기를 하나님과 동등하게 만들었기 때문이다.”(요한복음 5:18)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>예수님을 하나님으로 분명히 언급하는 다른 많은 구절들도 언급할 수 있습니다. 초기 교회사도 그리스도의 신성을 가리킵니다. 예를 들어, 초기 교부 중 한 명인 클레멘트는 AD 100년에 이렇게 썼습니다. “우리는 예수 그리스도를 하나님으로 생각해야 한다.” 거의 같은 시기에 교부 이그나티우스는 이렇게 썼습니다. “하나님 자신이 인간의 모습으로 우리 가운데 오셨다.” 또한 기독교인이 아니었던 로마 총독 플리니우스 더 영거는 AD 112년에 트라야누스 황제에게 기독교인들이 “그리스도를 신으로 찬양하는 노래”를 부르고 있다고 썼습니다.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>신약성경과 초기 교부들의 이 모든 구절들은 \u003Ci>다빈치 코드\u003C\u002Fi>와 명백히 모순됩니다.예수께서 자신을 하나님으로 여기지 않았으며, 4세기까지는 그분이 단순한 인간으로 여겨졌고, 그때에야 콘스탄티누스 황제가 니케아 공의회에서 정치적 이유로 예수님을 신격으로 격상시켰다는 주장은 사실이 아닙니다. 예수님의 신성은 \u003Ci>다 빈치 코드\u003C\u002Fi>에서 주장하는 것처럼 4세기 발명품이 결코 아닙니다.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>성경이 참되고, 예수님과 마리아 막달레나의 결혼에 대한 증거가 없다면, 다른 주장들도 필요 없습니다. 이 비밀을 지키기 위한 비밀 결사도 필요 없고, 존재하지 않는 증거를 숨기기 위한 교회의 은폐도 필요 없습니다. 또한 레오나르도가 자신의 그림에 예수님과 마리아 막달레나의 결혼에 관한 정보를 비밀리에 암호화했다는 근거도 없습니다. 따라서 \u003Ci>다 빈치 코드\u003C\u002Fi>의 이론 전체가 무너집니다.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>실제로 선택할 수 있는 것은 두 가지뿐입니다. 하나는 자연을 숭배하는 것이고, 다른 하나는 자연의 창조주를 숭배하는 것입니다. 브라운은 초기 기독교가 그가 말하는 신성한 여성성을 억압했다고 주장합니다. 사실, 신성한 여성성은 결국 우리 모두가 갇혀 있는 차갑고 무자비한 자연주의에 불과합니다. 그 너머에는 아무것도 없습니다.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>그러므로 다 빈치 코드도, 예수님과 마리아 막달레나의 비밀 결혼도, 그 결합에서 태어난 사라라는 사랑의 자녀가 프랑스 메로빙거 왕조의 혈통을 이어갔다는 주장도 없습니다. 예수님은 자신이 하나님이라고 주장하셨고, 첫 제자들도 그분을 하나님으로 믿었습니다. 유대 사회의 많은 거룩한 사람들처럼, 그리고 하나님의 아들이신 분께 합당하게, 예수님은 결혼하지 않으셨으며, 예수님의 유산은 육체적 후손의 혈통이 아니라, 예수님을 하나님과 주님, 구주로 믿는 교회에서 계속됩니다. 거짓에 속지 말고, 진리에 사로잡히십시오. 진짜 복음서 중 하나를 확인해 보십시오.",{"id":707,"title":708,"description":709,"featured":50,"transcript":710,"subtitle":711,"playerembed":712,"category_id":677,"slug":713,"answertype":531,"created_at":553,"updated_at":714,"thumbnail":715,"embed_thumbnail":716,"embed_icon":503,"title_es":717,"description_es":718,"playerembed_es":719,"transcript_es":720,"title_fr":721,"description_fr":722,"playerembed_fr":18,"transcript_fr":723,"title_ko":724,"description_ko":725,"playerembed_ko":18,"transcript_ko":726,"question_id":18,"category_slug":680,"category_name":-1},56,"The Da Vinci Response","\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit;\">Have you ever read \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ci style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit;\">The\u003C\u002Fi>\u003Cspan style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit;\">&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cem style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit;\">Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cspan style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit;\">&nbsp;or had a chance to watch the movie?

I’ll tell you why. First of all, they’re not gospels at all. A gospel&nbsp;has the life, the death, the resurrection of Jesus. They don't have that at all. They&nbsp;have conversations with the supposedly risen Christ and they are very strange&nbsp;stuff. Secondly, they’re late. They were written a hundred and fifty to two hundred&nbsp;and fifty years after the real gospels and they were never accepted into any list of&nbsp;the church’s books. Most of them only survive in one copy, and that copy is full of&nbsp;holes. And thirdly, their contents are crazy. In one place, they claim that children&nbsp;are conceived by kissing and women cannot be saved unless they become men.&nbsp;Fascinating to me that the uh, few scholars that give much credit to the Gnostic&nbsp;gospels - most of them are women. But of course, Gnosticism’s got no place for&nbsp;women whatsoever. Ah, well, just shows how crazy it is. The Gnostics stand out in&nbsp;strong contrast to real Christianity. You see, real Christianity is rooted in the work&nbsp;of Jesus Christ, not in some pretended knowledge. Real Christianity flowed from&nbsp;the inspired Scriptures of the Old Testament and the Gospels, not from some secret&nbsp;theosophical speculation. And real Christianity came from a God Whose revelation&nbsp;is clear for all to see in the Bible, not in the magical incantations of Gnosticism. And&nbsp;real Christianity demanded a holy life, not self-mortification on the one hand, or&nbsp;sexual indulgence on the other. And those are the two opposite results you get once&nbsp;you start rubbishing the human body. Real Christianity looked for the salvation of all&nbsp;who put their trust in Christ, not for a narrow-minded, arrogant few.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>As you see, the Gnostics and their gospels are unreliable, while the Biblical Gospels&nbsp;are reliable and true. Nevertheless, despite the fact that the Gnostic gospels were&nbsp;written well over a hundred years after Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and despite&nbsp;the fact that the Gnostic gospels make all kinds of highly questionable claims about&nbsp;Jesus and the Christian faith,&nbsp;\u003Ci>The Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;builds its argument on passages&nbsp;found only in the Gnostic gospels, which claim that Mary Magdalene had a special&nbsp;relationship with Christ.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>There is not a single shred of evidence in any ancient document that Jesus was&nbsp;married, either to Mary Magdalene or to anyone else.&nbsp;\u003Ci>The Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;says that&nbsp;if Jesus had been single, the New Testament would certainly mention this because&nbsp;Jewish males were all expected to be married. But Old Testament prophets like&nbsp;Jeremiah or Elijah were not married,&nbsp;neither was John the Baptist. Jesus Himself&nbsp;commends those who may not marry for the sake of God’s kingdom and so does&nbsp;the apostle Paul, so people in Jesus’ day would have&nbsp;been familiar with the tradition&nbsp;that some holy servants of God remained unmarried. All the New Testament says&nbsp;about Mary Magdalene is that she had seven demons exorcised by Jesus and that&nbsp;she was one of a group of women who helped support Jesus out of their own means.&nbsp;It also says that Mary was the first to see Jesus after the resurrection. That’s very&nbsp;significant and makes Mary a very important person in the Bible, but obviously it&nbsp;doesn’t mean that she was Jesus’ wife. So, then, where does&nbsp;\u003Ci>The Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;get&nbsp;the idea that Mary was Jesus’ wife?\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The answer is the Gnostic gospels, specifically, the Gospel of Philip, which was&nbsp;written well over a hundred years after the biblical gospels. This one passage&nbsp;in the Gospel of Philip, which reads: “There were three who always walked with&nbsp;the lord: Mary his mother and her sister and Magdalene, the one who was called&nbsp;his companion. His sister and his mother and his companion were each a Mary.”&nbsp;(Gnostic Gospel of Philip 59:9-10)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>In the Gospel of Philip, Mary Magdalene is called Jesus’ companion, but the word&nbsp;for companion does not mean wife or spouse as&nbsp;\u003Ci>The Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;claims, but&nbsp;close follower. It is used in this way ten times in the New Testament and not once&nbsp;implies a marital or sexual relationship. In the same Gnostic Gospel of Philip, we&nbsp;read:&nbsp;“And the companion of the Lord… Mary Magdalene… loved… more than…&nbsp;all… the disciples… and used to… kiss her… often… on her…” (Gnostic Gospel of&nbsp;Philip 63:34-64:5)\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>And that second passage is full of gaps and breaks off at the most&nbsp;critical point. Did Jesus kiss Mary on the cheek… on the lips? In any case, kissing was&nbsp;perfectly normal in the ancient world as it is in countries like France today. The New&nbsp;Testament talks about greeting one another with a holy kiss. The bottom line is this: The New Testament is completely silent about Jesus’ marriage to Mary Magdalene&nbsp;and the two Gnostic passages&nbsp;\u003Ci>The Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;cites don’t call Mary Jesus’ wife but&nbsp;only say, as the New Testament does, that she was a close follower of Jesus.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The underlying agenda in&nbsp;\u003Ci>The Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;is to reduce Jesus to human&nbsp;proportions as one who was married like the rest of us, who had a child, and so on.&nbsp;But the New Testament paints quite a different picture. What does it tell us about&nbsp;Jesus? And especially about His divine status, something&nbsp;\u003Ci>The Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;says He&nbsp;only acquired in the fourth century. In&nbsp;\u003Ci>The Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi>, Teabing declared: “...until&nbsp;that moment in history, the fourth century AD, Jesus was viewed by his followers as&nbsp;a mortal prophet… a great and powerful man, but a man nonetheless.”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Jesus certainly believed that He shared the nature of God, and He made that claim&nbsp;in Matthew’s Gospel chapter twenty-six, verse sixty-three and following: “The high&nbsp;priest said to Him, ‘I charge You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the&nbsp;Christ, the Son of God.’ ‘Yes, it is as you say,’ Jesus replied. ‘But I say to all of you: In&nbsp;the future you will see the Son of Man (that was His name for Himself) sitting at the&nbsp;right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.’” (Matthew 26:63-64)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The first century church certainly believed that Jesus was God. Paul, writing to the&nbsp;Philippians in chapter two, verses five through seven, he says “Your attitude should&nbsp;be the same as &nbsp;that of Christ Jesus, who, being in (the) very nature (of) God, did not&nbsp;consider equality with God something to be grasped (onto).” (Philippians 2:5-7)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>And then again, in Colossians chapter two verse nine: “In Christ all the fullness of the&nbsp;Godhead lives in bodily form.” (Colossians 2:9)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Incredibly powerful statement. The first letter of John, chapter five verse twenty,&nbsp;refers to “Jesus Christ… the true God and eternal life.” (1 John 5:20)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>And even Jesus’ opponents understood that He claimed to be God. In the Gospel of John, it says: “For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him: not only was He&nbsp;breaking the Sabbath, but He was (even) calling God His own Father, making Himself&nbsp;equal with God.” (John 5:18)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>And there are many more passages I could have mentioned that also clearly refer to&nbsp;Jesus as God. Early church history points to the divinity of Christ as well. Clement,&nbsp;for example, one of the early church fathers, wrote in AD 100: “We must think of&nbsp;Jesus Christ as we do of God.” At much the same time, the church father Ignatius&nbsp;wrote that: “God himself came among us in human form.” Also Pliny the Younger, a&nbsp;roman governor, who was not even a Christian, wrote in A.D. 112 to Emperor Trajan&nbsp;that Christians were singing a “hymn to Christ as a God.”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>All these passages from the New Testament and the early church fathers blatantly&nbsp;contradict&nbsp;\u003Ci>The Da Vinci’s Code\u003C\u002Fi>’s claim that Jesus did not consider Himself to be&nbsp;God and that He was viewed as a mere mortal until the fourth century and at only&nbsp;at that time was He elevated to the status of deity for political reasons by Emperor&nbsp;Constantine at the Council of Nicaea. Obviously, Jesus’ deity is emphatically not a&nbsp;fourth century A.D. invention as is alleged by&nbsp;\u003Ci>Th\u003C\u002Fi>\u003Ci>e Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi>.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Now if Scripture is true, and there is no evidence for Jesus’ marriage to Mary&nbsp;Magdalene, there is no need for any of the other claims. There is no need for a secret&nbsp;society to guard this secret. There is no need for the church to cover up evidence&nbsp;that doesn’t exist. And there is no basis for Leonardo to secretly encode information&nbsp;about Jesus’ marriage to Mary Magdalene in his paintings. So, the whole theory&nbsp;underlying&nbsp;\u003Ci>The Da Vinci Code\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;collapses.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>There are really only two options you can have, one is to worship nature, the other&nbsp;is to worship nature’s Creator. Brown says early Christianity suppressed what he&nbsp;calls the sacred feminine. In point of fact, the sacred feminine turns out to be a cold,&nbsp;pitiless naturalism in which we are all trapped. There is nothing beyond it.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>So, there is no Da Vinci Code, no secret marriage of Jesus to Mary Magdalene, no&nbsp;lovechild named Sara springing from that union who carried on Jesus’ bloodline&nbsp;through the French&nbsp;Merovingian kings. Jesus claimed to be God and was believed to&nbsp;be God by His first followers. As many holy men in Jewish life and as was fitting for&nbsp;the One Who is the Son of God, Jesus was unmarried, and Jesus’ legacy continues not&nbsp;in a line of physical descendants, but in the church of those who believe in Jesus as&nbsp;God and Lord and Savior.

El codigo Da Vinci.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>El c&oacute;digo Da Vinci plantea varias preguntas importantes que tienen una relaci&oacute;n directa con la naturaleza y la veracidad del cristianismo. Preguntas como &ldquo;&iquest;Era Jes&uacute;s Dios?&rdquo;, &ldquo;&iquest;Estaba casado Jes&uacute;s?&rdquo; Y &ldquo;&iquest;Es confiable la Biblia?&rdquo;. En esta respuesta, analizaremos m&aacute;s de cerca algunos de los supuestos hechos hist&oacute;ricos del C&oacute;digo Da Vinci para ver si esta posici&oacute;n puede ser apoyada por una investigaci&oacute;n hist&oacute;rica responsable.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>El C&oacute;digo Da Vinci lleva al espectador a una carrera impresionante por Par&iacute;s, Londres y otros lugares europeos. El simb&oacute;logo de Harvard Robert Langdon y su asociada cercana, Sophie Neveu, combinan ingenio con un agente de poder sin rostro que trabaja para el Opus Dei, una secta cat&oacute;lica oscura. Se cree que esta secta est&aacute; conspirando para apoderarse del secreto guardado por una organizaci&oacute;n medieval llamada Priorato de Sion. A menos que Langdon y Neveu puedan descifrar el rompecabezas a tiempo, el secreto del priorato y una sorprendente verdad hist&oacute;rica se perder&aacute;n para siempre. Seg&uacute;n el C&oacute;digo Da Vinci, la persona a la derecha de Jes&uacute;s no es el ap&oacute;stol Juan, sino la esposa de Jes&uacute;s, Mar&iacute;a Magdalena, por lo que el Santo Grial no es la copa de la que Jes&uacute;s bebi&oacute; en la &uacute;ltima cena, pero en realidad es una persona, Mar&iacute;a Magdalena, quien en su vientre dio a luz al hijo de Jes&uacute;s a trav&eacute;s de quien Su l&iacute;nea de sangre f&iacute;sica contin&uacute;a hoy.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Dan Brown, el autor del C&oacute;digo Da Vinci, sostiene espuriosamente que su libro no es simplemente ficci&oacute;n, sino un hecho, lo que aumenta considerablemente la apuesta con respecto a sus afirmaciones. De hecho, la p&aacute;gina uno del C&oacute;digo Da Vinci contiene las asombrosas afirmaciones de que \"todas las descripciones de obras de arte, arquitectura, documentos y rituales secretos en esta novela son precisas&rdquo;.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Y para ayudarnos a encontrar la verdad, el Dr. Michael Green y el Dr. Andreas Kostenberger est&aacute;n aqu&iacute; para ayudarnos. Ambos han escrito extensamente sobre El C&oacute;digo Da Vinci y son destacados acad&eacute;micos y apologistas del Nuevo Testamento de nuestros d&iacute;as. El C&oacute;digo Da Vinci afirma que no son los Evangelios b&iacute;blicos, sino otros escritos antiguos llamados Evangelios gn&oacute;sticos, los que cuentan la verdadera historia de Jes&uacute;s. &iquest;Pero qui&eacute;nes eran los gn&oacute;sticos?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Los gn&oacute;sticos vieron el cuerpo como la prisi&oacute;n del alma, y t&uacute; escapaste de &eacute;l a trav&eacute;s del conocimiento secreto que ten&iacute;an. El rechaz&oacute; al Dios del Antiguo Testamento como un esp&iacute;ritu maligno. Eran elitistas, eran ego&iacute;stas, y ve&iacute;an la salvaci&oacute;n como algo que fluye de s&iacute; mismos y no de Cristo. Dif&iacute;cilmente cristiano.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Lo que estos gn&oacute;sticos dejaron atr&aacute;s son algunos escritos que se conocen como los evangelios gn&oacute;sticos, desenterrados en un gran tarro en medio del desierto en Egipto, y son sin esperanza poco confiables. Te dir&eacute; por qu&eacute;. En primer lugar, no son evangelios en absoluto. Un evangelio tiene la vida, la muerte, la resurrecci&oacute;n de Jes&uacute;s. No tienen eso en absoluto. Tienen conversaciones con el Cristo supuestamente resucitado y son cosas muy extra&ntilde;as. En segundo lugar, llegan tarde. Fueron escritos entre ciento cincuenta y doscientos cincuenta a&ntilde;os despu&eacute;s de los verdaderos evangelios y nunca fueron aceptados en ninguna lista de los libros de la iglesia. La mayor&iacute;a de ellos solo sobreviven en una copia, y esa copia est&aacute; llena de agujeros. Y en tercer lugar, sus contenidos son locos. En un lugar, afirman que los ni&ntilde;os se conciben bes&aacute;ndose y que las mujeres no pueden salvarse a menos que se conviertan en hombres. Es fascinante para m&iacute; que los pocos eruditos que dan mucho cr&eacute;dito a los evangelios gn&oacute;sticos, la mayor&iacute;a de ellos son mujeres. Pero, por supuesto, el gnosticismo no tiene lugar para mujeres en absoluto. Ah, bueno, solo muestra lo loco que es. Los gn&oacute;sticos destacan en fuerte contraste con el cristianismo real. Ver&aacute;, el verdadero cristianismo est&aacute; enraizado en la obra de Jesucristo, no en un conocimiento pretendido. El verdadero cristianismo fluy&oacute; de las Escrituras inspiradas del Antiguo Testamento y los Evangelios, no de alguna especulaci&oacute;n teos&oacute;fica secreta. Y el verdadero cristianismo vino de un Dios cuya revelaci&oacute;n es clara para que todos la vean en la Biblia, no en los encantamientos m&aacute;gicos del gnosticismo. Y el verdadero cristianismo exig&iacute;a una vida santa, no la auto mortificaci&oacute;n, por un lado, o la indulgencia sexual por el otro. Y esos son los dos resultados opuestos que obtienes una vez que comienzas a limpiar el cuerpo humano. El verdadero cristianismo buscaba la salvaci&oacute;n de todos los que confiaban en Cristo, no de unos pocos arrogantes y de mente estrecha.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Como puede ver, los gn&oacute;sticos y sus evangelios no son confiables, mientras que los evangelios b&iacute;blicos son confiables y verdaderos. Sin embargo, a pesar del hecho de que los evangelios gn&oacute;sticos fueron escritos m&aacute;s de cien a&ntilde;os despu&eacute;s de Mateo, Marcos, Lucas y Juan, y a pesar del hecho de que los evangelios gn&oacute;sticos hacen todo tipo de afirmaciones muy cuestionables sobre Jes&uacute;s y la fe cristiana, El C&oacute;digo Vinci construye su argumento sobre pasajes encontrados solo en los evangelios gn&oacute;sticos, que afirman que Mar&iacute;a Magdalena tuvo una relaci&oacute;n especial con Cristo.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>No hay una sola pizca de evidencia en ning&uacute;n documento antiguo de que Jes&uacute;s estaba casado, ni con Mar&iacute;a Magdalena ni con nadie m&aacute;s. El C&oacute;digo Da Vinci dice que si Jes&uacute;s hubiera estado soltero, el Nuevo Testamento ciertamente lo mencionar&iacute;a porque se esperaba que todos los hombres jud&iacute;os estuvieran casados. Pero los profetas del Antiguo Testamento como Jerem&iacute;as o El&iacute;as no estaban casados, ni tampoco Juan el Bautista. Jes&uacute;s mismo elogia a quienes no pueden casarse por el reino de Dios y tambi&eacute;n el ap&oacute;stol Pablo, por lo que la gente en los d&iacute;as de Jes&uacute;s habr&iacute;a estado familiarizada con la tradici&oacute;n de que algunos siervos santos de Dios permanecieron solteros. Todo lo que dice el Nuevo Testamento acerca de Mar&iacute;a Magdalena es que ella ten&iacute;a siete demonios exorcizados por Jes&uacute;s y que era una de un grupo de mujeres que ayud&oacute; a apoyar a Jes&uacute;s por sus propios medios. Tambi&eacute;n dice que Mar&iacute;a fue la primera en ver a Jes&uacute;s despu&eacute;s de la resurrecci&oacute;n. Eso es muy significativo y hace de Mar&iacute;a una persona muy importante en la Biblia, pero obviamente no significa que ella era la esposa de Jes&uacute;s. Entonces, &iquest;de d&oacute;nde saca El C&oacute;digo Da Vinci la idea de que Mar&iacute;a era la esposa de Jes&uacute;s?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>La respuesta son los evangelios gn&oacute;sticos, espec&iacute;ficamente, el Evangelio de Felipe, que fue escrito m&aacute;s de cien a&ntilde;os despu&eacute;s de los evangelios b&iacute;blicos. Este &uacute;nico pasaje en el Evangelio de Felipe, que dice: &ldquo;Hab&iacute;a tres que siempre caminaban con el se&ntilde;or: Mar&iacute;a, su madre y su hermana y Magdalena, la que se llamaba su compa&ntilde;era. Su hermana, su madre y su compa&ntilde;era eran cada una Mar&iacute;a \"(Evangelio gn&oacute;stico de Felipe 59: 9-10).\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>En el Evangelio de Felipe, Mar&iacute;a Magdalena se llama la compa&ntilde;era de Jes&uacute;s, pero la palabra para compa&ntilde;era no significa esposa o c&oacute;nyuge como dice el C&oacute;digo Da Vinci, sino seguidora cercana. Se usa de esta manera diez veces en el Nuevo Testamento y ni una sola implica una relaci&oacute;n matrimonial o sexual. En el mismo Evangelio gn&oacute;stico de Felipe, leemos: \"Y la compa&ntilde;era del Se&ntilde;or ... Mar&iacute;a Magdalena ... am&oacute; ... m&aacute;s que ... a todos ... los disc&iacute;pulos ... y sol&iacute;a ... besarla ... a menudo ... sobre ella ...\" (Evangelio gn&oacute;stico de Felipe 63: 34-64: 5)\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Y ese segundo pasaje est&aacute; lleno de lagunas y se rompe en el punto m&aacute;s cr&iacute;tico. &iquest;Jes&uacute;s bes&oacute; a Mar&iacute;a en la mejilla ... en los labios? En cualquier caso, besarse era perfectamente normal en el mundo antiguo como lo es hoy en pa&iacute;ses como Francia. El Nuevo Testamento habla de saludarnos unos a otros con un beso sagrado. La conclusi&oacute;n es esta: el Nuevo Testamento no dice nada sobre el matrimonio de Jes&uacute;s con Mar&iacute;a Magdalena y los dos pasajes gn&oacute;sticos que cita el C&oacute;digo Da Vinci no llaman a la esposa de Mar&iacute;a Jes&uacute;s, sino que solo dicen, como lo hace el Nuevo Testamento, que ella era Un seguidor cercano de Jes&uacute;s.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>La agenda subyacente en El C&oacute;digo Da Vinci es reducir a Jes&uacute;s a proporciones humanas como alguien que se cas&oacute; como el resto de nosotros, que tuvo un hijo, y as&iacute; sucesivamente. Pero el Nuevo Testamento pinta una imagen bastante diferente. &iquest;Qu&eacute; nos dice acerca de Jes&uacute;s? Y especialmente sobre su estado divino, algo que el C&oacute;digo Da Vinci dice que solo adquiri&oacute; en el siglo IV. En The Da Vinci Code, Teabing declar&oacute;: \"... hasta ese momento en la historia, el siglo IV dC, sus seguidores ve&iacute;an a Jes&uacute;s como un profeta mortal ... un hombre grande y poderoso, pero un hombre de todos modos\".\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Ciertamente, Jes&uacute;s cre&iacute;a que compart&iacute;a la naturaleza de Dios, e hizo esa afirmaci&oacute;n en el Evangelio de Mateo, cap&iacute;tulo veintis&eacute;is, vers&iacute;culo sesenta y tres y siguientes: \"Mas Jes&uacute;s callaba. Entonces el sumo sacerdote le dijo: Te conjuro por el Dios viviente, que nos digas si eres t&uacute; el Cristo, el Hijo de Dios.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>64&nbsp;Jes&uacute;s le dijo: T&uacute; lo has dicho; y adem&aacute;s os digo, que desde ahora ver&eacute;is al Hijo del Hombre(asi se llamaba &eacute;l mismo) sentado a la diestra del poder de Dios, y viniendo en las nubes del cielo.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;&rdquo;(Mateo 26: 63-64)\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>La iglesia del primer siglo ciertamente cre&iacute;a que Jes&uacute;s era Dios.

El simbologista de Harvard Robert Langdon y su estrecha&nbsp;colaboradora, Sophie Neveu, miden sus ingenios con un poder broker sin rostro que trabaja para el Opus&nbsp;Dei, una secta católica en la sombra. Se cree que esta secta planea apoderarse del secreto&nbsp;guardado por una organización medieval llamada el Priorato de Sión.

Según&nbsp;\u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>, la persona que está a&nbsp;la derecha de Jesús no es el apóstol Juan, sino la esposa de Jesús, María Magdalena, por lo que el&nbsp;Santo Grial no es la copa de la que bebió Jesús en la última cena, sino que es en realidad&nbsp;una persona, María Magdalena, que en su vientre llevó el hijo de Jesús, a través de quien Su&nbsp;lignaje sanguíneo físico continúa hoy.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Dan Brown, el autor de&nbsp;\u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>, mantiene de forma espuria que su libro&nbsp;no es meramente ficción, sino realidad, lo que aumenta considerablemente la apuesta respecto a sus afirmaciones.&nbsp;De hecho, la primera página de&nbsp;\u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;contiene las asombrosas afirmaciones de que “todas&nbsp;las descripciones de obras de arte, arquitectura, documentos y rituales secretos de esta novela son&nbsp;precisas”.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Y para ayudarnos a encontrar la verdad, el Dr. Michael Green y el Dr. Andreas Kostenberger&nbsp;están aquí para asistirnos. Ambos han escrito extensamente sobre&nbsp;\u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;y son&nbsp;destacados estudiosos del Nuevo Testamento y apologistas de nuestro tiempo.&nbsp;\u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;afirma que no son los Evangelios bíblicos, sino otros escritos antiguos llamados los Evangelios&nbsp;Gnósticos, los que cuentan la verdadera historia de Jesús. Pero ¿quiénes eran los gnósticos?\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Los gnósticos veían el cuerpo como la prisión del alma, y se escapaba de él a través del&nbsp;conocimiento secreto que ellos poseían. Rechazaban al Dios del Antiguo Testamento como un espíritu maligno. Eran elitistas, egoístas, y veían la salvación como algo que fluía&nbsp;de ellos mismos y no de Cristo. Difícilmente muy cristianos.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Lo que estos gnósticos dejaron atrás son unos escritos conocidos como los evangelios&nbsp;gnósticos, desenterrados en un gran, muy grande jarro en medio del desierto de Egipto, y son&nbsp;irremediablemente poco fiables. Te diré por qué. En primer lugar, no son evangelios en absoluto. Un evangelio&nbsp;contiene la vida, la muerte, la resurrección de Jesús. Ellos no tienen nada de eso. Tienen&nbsp;conversaciones con el supuesto Cristo resucitado y son material muy extraño.&nbsp;En segundo lugar, son tardíos. Fueron escritos entre ciento cincuenta y doscientos&nbsp;cincuenta años después de los evangelios reales y nunca fueron aceptados en ninguna lista de&nbsp;los libros de la iglesia. La mayoría de ellos solo sobreviven en una copia, y esa copia está llena de&nbsp;agujeros. Y en tercer lugar, sus contenidos son disparatados. En un lugar, afirman que los niños&nbsp;se conciben besando y que las mujeres no pueden salvarse a menos que se conviertan en hombres.&nbsp;Fascinante para mí que los, uh, pocos estudiosos que dan mucho crédito a los evangelios gnósticos - la mayoría de ellos son mujeres. Pero, por supuesto, el gnosticismo no tiene lugar para&nbsp;las mujeres en absoluto. Ah, bueno, solo muestra lo loco que es. Los gnósticos destacan en&nbsp;fuerte contraste con el cristianismo real. Verás, el cristianismo real está arraigado en la obra&nbsp;de Jesucristo, no en algún conocimiento fingido. El cristianismo real fluyó de&nbsp;las Escrituras inspiradas del Antiguo Testamento y los Evangelios, no de alguna especulación&nbsp;teosófica secreta. Y el cristianismo real provino de un Dios cuya revelación&nbsp;es clara para que todos la vean en la Biblia, no en las incantaciones mágicas del gnosticismo. Y&nbsp;el cristianismo real exigía una vida santa, no la automortificación por un lado, o&nbsp;la indulgencia sexual por el otro. Y esos son los dos resultados opuestos que obtienes una vez&nbsp;que empiezas a despreciar el cuerpo humano. El cristianismo real buscaba la salvación de todos&nbsp;los que ponen su confianza en Cristo, no de unos pocos arrogantes y de mentalidad estrecha.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Como ves, los gnósticos y sus evangelios son poco fiables, mientras que los Evangelios&nbsp;bíblicos son fiables y verdaderos. Sin embargo, a pesar de que los evangelios gnósticos fueron&nbsp;escritos más de cien años después de Mateo, Marcos, Lucas y Juan, y a pesar&nbsp;de que los evangelios gnósticos hacen todo tipo de afirmaciones muy cuestionables sobre&nbsp;Jesús y la fe cristiana,&nbsp;\u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;construye su argumento sobre pasajes&nbsp;encontrados solo en los evangelios gnósticos, que afirman que María Magdalena tenía una&nbsp;relación especial con Cristo.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>No hay ni un solo indicio de evidencia en ningún documento antiguo de que Jesús estuviera&nbsp;casado, ya sea con María Magdalena o con cualquier otra persona.&nbsp;\u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;afirma que&nbsp;si Jesús hubiera estado soltero, el Nuevo Testamento ciertamente lo habría mencionado porque&nbsp;se esperaba que todos los varones judíos estuvieran casados. Pero los profetas del Antiguo Testamento como&nbsp;Jeremías o Elías no estaban casados,&nbsp;tampoco lo estaba Juan el Bautista. El mismo Jesús&nbsp;alaba a quienes pueden no casarse por causa del reino de Dios, y también lo hace&nbsp;el apóstol Pablo, por lo que las personas en los días de Jesús habrían estado&nbsp;familiarizadas con la tradición&nbsp;de que algunos siervos santos de Dios permanecían solteros. Todo lo que el Nuevo Testamento dice&nbsp;sobre María Magdalena es que tuvo siete demonios expulsados por Jesús y que&nbsp;era una de un grupo de mujeres que ayudaron a sostener a Jesús con sus propios recursos.&nbsp;También dice que María fue la primera en ver a Jesús después de la resurrección. Eso es muy&nbsp;significativo y hace de María una persona muy importante en la Biblia, pero obviamente&nbsp;no significa que fuera la esposa de Jesús. Entonces, ¿de dónde saca&nbsp;\u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;la idea de que María era la esposa de Jesús?\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>La respuesta está en los evangelios gnósticos, específicamente, el Evangelio de Felipe, escrito&nbsp;más de cien años después de los evangelios bíblicos. Este pasaje&nbsp;del Evangelio de Felipe, que dice: “Había tres que siempre caminaban con&nbsp;el Señor: María su madre y su hermana y Magdalena, la que era llamada&nbsp;su compañera. Su hermana y su madre y su compañera eran cada una una María.”&nbsp;(Evangelio Gnóstico de Felipe 59:9-10)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>En el Evangelio de Felipe, María Magdalena es llamada compañera de Jesús, pero la palabra&nbsp;para compañera no significa esposa o cónyuge como&nbsp;\u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;afirma, sino seguidora cercana. Se usa de esta manera diez veces en el Nuevo Testamento y nunca&nbsp;implica una relación matrimonial o sexual. En el mismo Evangelio Gnóstico de Felipe, leemos:&nbsp;“Y la compañera del Señor… María Magdalena… amaba… más que…&nbsp;todos… los discípulos… y solía… besarla… a menudo… en su…” (Evangelio Gnóstico de&nbsp;Felipe 63:34-64:5)\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Y ese segundo pasaje está lleno de lagunas y se corta en el punto más&nbsp;crítico. ¿Besó Jesús a María en la mejilla… en los labios? En cualquier caso, el beso era&nbsp;perfectamente normal en el mundo antiguo como lo es en países como Francia hoy. El Nuevo&nbsp;Testamento habla de saludarse unos a otros con un beso santo. Lo esencial es esto: El Nuevo Testamento guarda completo silencio sobre el matrimonio de Jesús con María Magdalena&nbsp;y los dos pasajes gnósticos que&nbsp;\u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;cita no llaman a María esposa de Jesús, sino&nbsp;solo dicen, como el Nuevo Testamento, que era una seguidora cercana de Jesús.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>La agenda subyacente en&nbsp;\u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;es reducir a Jesús a proporciones humanas&nbsp;como uno que estaba casado como el resto de nosotros, que tuvo un hijo, y así sucesivamente.&nbsp;Pero el Nuevo Testamento pinta un cuadro bastante diferente. ¿Qué nos dice sobre&nbsp;Jesús? Y especialmente sobre su estatus divino, algo que&nbsp;\u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;dice que Él&nbsp;solo adquirió en el siglo cuarto. En&nbsp;\u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>, Teabing declaró: “...hasta&nbsp;ese momento en la historia, el siglo cuarto d. C., Jesús era visto por sus seguidores como&nbsp;un profeta mortal… un hombre grande y poderoso, pero un hombre no obstante.”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Jesús ciertamente creía que compartía la naturaleza de Dios, y lo afirmó&nbsp;en el Evangelio de Mateo capítulo veintiséis, versículo sesenta y tres y siguientes: “El sumo&nbsp;sacerdote le dijo: ‘Te conjuro por el Dios viviente que nos digas si eres el&nbsp;Cristo, el Hijo de Dios.’ ‘Sí, como tú dices,’ respondió Jesús. ‘Pero os digo a todos: En&nbsp;el futuro veréis al Hijo del Hombre (ese era el nombre que Él se daba) sentado a la&nbsp;diestra del Poderoso y viniendo sobre las nubes del cielo.’” (Mateo 26:63-64)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>La iglesia del primer siglo ciertamente creía que Jesús era Dios. Pablo, escribiendo a los&nbsp;Filipenses en el capítulo dos, versículos cinco a siete, dice: “Haya, pues, en vosotros este sentir que&nbsp;hubo también en Cristo Jesús, el cual, siendo en (la) forma (de) Dios, no&nbsp;estimó el ser igual a Dios como cosa a que aferrarse.” (Filipenses 2:5-7)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Y luego, en Colosenses capítulo dos versículo nueve: “Porque en él habita corporalmente toda la&nbsp;plenitud de la Deidad.” (Colosenses 2:9)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Declaración increíblemente poderosa. La primera carta de Juan, capítulo cinco versículo veinte,&nbsp;se refiere a “Jesucristo… el verdadero Dios y la vida eterna.” (1 Juan 5:20)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>E incluso los opositores de Jesús entendieron que Él afirmaba ser Dios. En el Evangelio de Juan, dice: “Por esta causa los judíos aún más procuraban matarle, porque no sólo quebrantaba el día de reposo, sino que también decía que Dios era su propio Padre, haciéndose igual a Dios.” (Juan 5:18)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Y hay muchos más pasajes que podría haber mencionado que también se refieren claramente a&nbsp;Jesús como Dios. La historia temprana de la iglesia también apunta a la divinidad de Cristo. Clemente,&nbsp;por ejemplo, uno de los primeros padres de la iglesia, escribió en el año 100 d. C.: “Debemos pensar en&nbsp;Jesucristo como pensamos en Dios.” Al mismo tiempo, el padre de la iglesia Ignacio&nbsp;escribió que: “Dios mismo vino entre nosotros en forma humana.” También Plinio el Joven, un&nbsp;gobernador romano, que ni siquiera era cristiano, escribió en el año 112 d.

Obviamente, la deidad de Jesús no es en absoluto una invención del siglo IV d.C. como se alega en \u003Ci>El Código Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Ahora bien, si la Escritura es verdadera, y no hay evidencia del matrimonio de Jesús con María Magdalena, no hay necesidad de ninguna de las otras afirmaciones.

Jesús afirmó ser Dios y fue creído como Dios por Sus primeros seguidores. Como muchos hombres santos en la vida judía y como correspondía al que es el Hijo de Dios, Jesús permaneció soltero, y el legado de Jesús continúa no en una línea de descendientes físicos, sino en la iglesia de aquellos que creen en Jesús como Dios, Señor y Salvador.

À moins que Langdon et&nbsp;Neveu ne parviennent à déchiffrer l'énigme à temps, le secret du prieuré et une vérité&nbsp;historique stupéfiante seront perdus à jamais. Selon&nbsp;\u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>, la personne à&nbsp;la droite de Jésus n'est pas l'apôtre Jean mais plutôt la femme de Jésus, Marie-Madeleine, donc le&nbsp;Saint Graal n'est pas la coupe dont Jésus a bu lors de la dernière cène, mais c'est en fait&nbsp;une personne, Marie-Madeleine, qui dans son ventre porta l'enfant de Jésus par qui Sa&nbsp;descendance physique se poursuit aujourd'hui.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Dan Brown, l'auteur du&nbsp;\u003Ci>Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>, soutient de manière fallacieuse que son livre&nbsp;n'est pas seulement une fiction, mais un fait, ce qui augmente considérablement les enjeux concernant ses affirmations.&nbsp;En fait, la première page du&nbsp;\u003Ci>Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;contient les affirmations étonnantes que « toutes&nbsp;les descriptions d'œuvres d'art, d'architecture, de documents et de rituels secrets dans ce roman sont&nbsp;exactes ».\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Et pour nous aider à trouver la vérité, le Dr Michael Green et le Dr Andreas Kostenberger&nbsp;sont ici pour nous assister. Tous deux ont beaucoup écrit sur&nbsp;\u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;et sont&nbsp;des érudits et apologistes du Nouveau Testament parmi les plus éminents de notre époque.&nbsp;\u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;affirme que ce ne sont pas les Évangiles bibliques, mais d'autres écrits anciens appelés les Évangiles&nbsp;gnostiques, qui racontent la véritable histoire de Jésus. Mais qui étaient les gnostiques ?\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Les gnostiques voyaient le corps comme la prison de l'âme, et on s'en échappait grâce à la&nbsp;connaissance secrète qu'ils possédaient. Ils rejetaient le Dieu de l'Ancien Testament comme un esprit&nbsp;maléfique. Ils étaient élitistes, égoïstes, et voyaient le salut comme provenant en quelque sorte&nbsp;d'eux-mêmes et non du Christ. Difficilement très chrétiens.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Ce que ces gnostiques ont laissé derrière eux sont des écrits connus sous le nom d'Évangiles&nbsp;gnostiques, découverts dans un grand, très grand pot au milieu du désert en Égypte, et ils sont&nbsp;totalement peu fiables. Je vais vous dire pourquoi. Premièrement, ce ne sont pas des évangiles du tout. Un évangile&nbsp;comporte la vie, la mort, la résurrection de Jésus. Ils n'ont rien de tout cela. Ils&nbsp;contiennent des conversations avec le Christ soi-disant ressuscité et ce sont des choses très étranges.&nbsp;Deuxièmement, ils sont tardifs. Ils ont été écrits cent cinquante à deux cent&nbsp;cinquante ans après les vrais évangiles et ils n'ont jamais été acceptés dans aucune liste des&nbsp;livres de l'Église. La plupart d'entre eux ne survivent que dans un seul exemplaire, et cet exemplaire est plein de&nbsp;trous. Et troisièmement, leur contenu est insensé. À un endroit, ils prétendent que les enfants&nbsp;sont conçus par un baiser et que les femmes ne peuvent être sauvées que si elles deviennent des hommes.&nbsp;Fascinant pour moi que les quelques érudits qui accordent beaucoup de crédit aux Évangiles&nbsp;gnostiques - la plupart d'entre eux sont des femmes. Mais bien sûr, le gnosticisme n'a aucune place pour&nbsp;les femmes. Ah, eh bien, cela montre à quel point c'est insensé. Les gnostiques se distinguent fortement du vrai christianisme. Vous voyez, le vrai christianisme est enraciné dans l'œuvre&nbsp;de Jésus-Christ, pas dans quelque connaissance prétendue. Le vrai christianisme découlait des&nbsp;Écritures inspirées de l'Ancien Testament et des Évangiles, pas de quelque spéculation&nbsp;théosophique secrète. Et le vrai christianisme venait d'un Dieu dont la révélation&nbsp;est claire pour tous dans la Bible, pas dans les incantations magiques du gnosticisme. Et&nbsp;le vrai christianisme exigeait une vie sainte, pas l'automortification d'une part, ou&nbsp;l'indulgence sexuelle d'autre part. Et ce sont les deux résultats opposés que l'on obtient quand&nbsp;on commence à dénigrer le corps humain. Le vrai christianisme cherchait le salut de tous&nbsp;ceux qui mettent leur confiance dans le Christ, pas pour une minorité étroite d'esprit et arrogante.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Comme vous le voyez, les gnostiques et leurs évangiles sont peu fiables, tandis que les Évangiles&nbsp;bibliques sont fiables et vrais. Néanmoins, malgré le fait que les Évangiles gnostiques ont été&nbsp;écrits bien plus de cent ans après Matthieu, Marc, Luc et Jean, et malgré&nbsp;le fait que les Évangiles gnostiques font toutes sortes d'affirmations hautement contestables sur&nbsp;Jésus et la foi chrétienne,&nbsp;\u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;fonde son argument sur des passages&nbsp;trouvés uniquement dans les Évangiles gnostiques, qui prétendent que Marie-Madeleine avait une&nbsp;relation spéciale avec le Christ.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Il n'existe pas le moindre fragment de preuve dans aucun document ancien que Jésus était&nbsp;marié, que ce soit à Marie-Madeleine ou à toute autre personne.&nbsp;\u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;affirme que&nbsp;si Jésus avait été célibataire, le Nouveau Testament en aurait certainement fait mention, car&nbsp;les hommes juifs étaient tous censés être mariés. Mais les prophètes de l’Ancien Testament comme&nbsp;Jérémie ou Élie n’étaient pas mariés,&nbsp;non plus que Jean-Baptiste. Jésus lui-même&nbsp;recommande ceux qui ne se marient pas pour le royaume de Dieu, tout comme&nbsp;l’apôtre Paul, de sorte que les gens à l’époque de Jésus&nbsp;connaissaient la tradition&nbsp;selon laquelle certains serviteurs saints de Dieu restaient célibataires. Tout ce que le Nouveau Testament dit&nbsp;à propos de Marie Madeleine est qu’elle avait sept démons chassés par Jésus et qu’elle&nbsp;appartenait à un groupe de femmes qui soutenaient Jésus de leurs propres ressources.&nbsp;Il dit aussi que Marie fut la première à voir Jésus après la résurrection. C’est très&nbsp;significatif et fait de Marie une personne très importante dans la Bible, mais cela ne signifie évidemment pas&nbsp;qu’elle était l’épouse de Jésus. Alors, d’où vient&nbsp;\u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;avec&nbsp;l’idée que Marie était l’épouse de Jésus ?\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>La réponse se trouve dans les évangiles gnostiques, en particulier l’Évangile de Philippe, rédigé&nbsp;plus de cent ans après les évangiles bibliques. Ce passage de l’Évangile de Philippe indique : « Il y avait trois personnes qui marchaient toujours avec&nbsp;le Seigneur : Marie sa mère, sa sœur et Madeleine, celle qu’on appelait&nbsp;sa compagne. Sa sœur, sa mère et sa compagne s’appelaient chacune Marie. »&nbsp;(Évangile gnostique de Philippe 59:9-10)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Dans l’Évangile de Philippe, Marie Madeleine est appelée la compagne de Jésus, mais le mot&nbsp;« compagne » ne signifie pas épouse ou conjointe comme le prétend&nbsp;\u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>, mais&nbsp;proche disciple. Il est utilisé ainsi dix fois dans le Nouveau Testament et n’implique jamais une relation&nbsp;maritale ou sexuelle. Dans le même Évangile gnostique de Philippe, nous lisons :&nbsp;« Et la compagne du Seigneur… Marie Madeleine… aimait… plus que…&nbsp;tous… les disciples… et embrassait… souvent… sur… » (Évangile gnostique de&nbsp;Philippe 63:34-64:5)\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Ce second passage est plein de lacunes et s’interrompt au moment le plus&nbsp;crucial. Jésus embrassait-il Marie sur la joue… sur les lèvres ? Quoi qu’il en soit, le baiser était&nbsp;parfaitement normal dans le monde antique, comme il l’est aujourd’hui dans des pays comme la France. Le Nouveau&nbsp;Testament parle de se saluer d’un saint baiser. En fin de compte, le Nouveau Testament reste totalement muet sur un éventuel mariage de Jésus avec Marie Madeleine,&nbsp;et les deux passages gnostiques cités par&nbsp;\u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;n’appellent pas Marie l’épouse de Jésus, mais&nbsp;disent seulement, comme le Nouveau Testament, qu’elle était une proche disciple de Jésus.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>L’intention sous-jacente de&nbsp;\u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;est de réduire Jésus à des proportions humaines,&nbsp;comme quelqu’un qui se serait marié comme nous tous, qui aurait eu un enfant, etc.&nbsp;Mais le Nouveau Testament brosse un tableau tout à fait différent. Que nous dit-il sur&nbsp;Jésus ? Et surtout sur son statut divin, que&nbsp;\u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>&nbsp;prétend n’avoir été acquis qu’au quatrième siècle. Dans&nbsp;\u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>, Teabing déclare : « …jusqu’à&nbsp;ce moment de l’histoire, le quatrième siècle après J.-C., Jésus était considéré par ses disciples comme&nbsp;un prophète mortel… un homme grand et puissant, mais un homme néanmoins. »\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Jésus croyait certainement partager la nature de Dieu, et il l’affirma dans l’Évangile selon Matthieu, chapitre vingt-six, verset soixante-trois et suivants : « Le grand&nbsp;prêtre lui dit : “Je t’adjure, par le Dieu vivant, de nous dire si tu es le Christ, le Fils de Dieu.” Jésus lui répondit : “Tu l’as dit. De plus, je vous le déclare, vous verrez désormais le Fils de l’homme assis à la&nbsp;droite du Puissant et venant sur les nuées du ciel.” » (Matthieu 26:63-64)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>L’Église du premier siècle croyait certainement que Jésus était Dieu. Paul, écrivant aux&nbsp;Philippiens au chapitre deux, versets cinq à sept, dit : « Ayez en vous les sentiments qui étaient en Jésus-Christ, lequel, existant en&nbsp;forme de Dieu, n’a pas regardé comme une proie à saisir d’être égal avec Dieu. » (Philippiens 2:5-7)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Et encore, dans l’Épître aux Colossiens, chapitre deux, verset neuf : « Car en lui habite corporellement toute la plénitude de la&nbsp;divinité. » (Colossiens 2:9)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Déclaration incroyablement puissante. La première épître de Jean, chapitre cinq, verset vingt,&nbsp;parle de « Jésus-Christ… le vrai Dieu et la vie éternelle. » (1 Jean 5:20)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Même les adversaires de Jésus comprenaient qu’il prétendait être Dieu. Dans l’Évangile selon Jean, il est dit : « C’est pour cela que les Juifs cherchaient encore plus à le faire mourir : non seulement il violait le sabbat, mais il appelait Dieu son propre Père, se faisant&nbsp;égal à Dieu. » (Jean 5:18)\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Il y a bien d’autres passages que j’aurais pu mentionner et qui désignent clairement Jésus comme Dieu. L’histoire de l’Église primitive témoigne également de la divinité du Christ. Clément,&nbsp;par exemple, l’un des Pères de l’Église primitive, écrivit vers l’an 100 : « Nous devons considérer&nbsp;Jésus-Christ comme nous considérons Dieu. » À peu près à la même époque, le Père de l’Église Ignace&nbsp;écrivit que « Dieu lui-même est venu parmi nous sous forme humaine ». De même, Pline le Jeune, gouverneur romain qui n’était même pas chrétien, écrivit en 112 après J.-C. à l’empereur Trajan&nbsp;que les chrétiens chantaient un « hymne au Christ comme à un dieu ».\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Tous ces passages du Nouveau Testament et des Pères de l’Église contredisent ouvertement&nbsp;\u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>l’affirmation selon laquelle Jésus ne se considérait pas comme Dieu et qu’Il était vu comme un simple mortel jusqu’au quatrième siècle, et que ce n’est qu’à cette époque qu’Il fut élevé au rang de divinité pour des raisons politiques par l’empereur Constantin lors du Concile de Nicée. De toute évidence, la divinité de Jésus n’est pas une invention du quatrième siècle après J.-C. comme l’affirme \u003Ci>Le Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi>.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Or, si l’Écriture est vraie et qu’il n’existe aucune preuve du mariage de Jésus avec Marie-Madeleine, il n’est nul besoin des autres affirmations. Il n’est pas nécessaire qu’une société secrète garde ce secret. Il n’est pas nécessaire que l’Église dissimule des preuves qui n’existent pas. Et il n’y a aucune raison pour que Léonard de Vinci ait secrètement encodé des informations sur le mariage de Jésus avec Marie-Madeleine dans ses peintures. Ainsi, toute la théorie sous-jacente au \u003Ci>Code Da Vinci\u003C\u002Fi> s’effondre.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Il n’y a vraiment que deux options possibles : soit on adore la nature, soit on adore le Créateur de la nature. Brown affirme que le christianisme primitif a supprimé ce qu’il appelle le féminin sacré. En réalité, le féminin sacré se révèle être un naturalisme froid et impitoyable dans lequel nous sommes tous piégés. Il n’y a rien au-delà.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Il n’y a donc pas de Code Da Vinci, pas de mariage secret de Jésus avec Marie-Madeleine, pas d’enfant de l’amour nommé Sara issu de cette union et qui aurait perpétué la lignée de Jésus à travers les rois mérovingiens français. Jésus a affirmé être Dieu et a été cru comme tel par Ses premiers disciples. Comme beaucoup d’hommes saints dans la vie juive et comme il convenait à Celui qui est le Fils de Dieu, Jésus était célibataire, et l’héritage de Jésus se poursuit non pas dans une lignée de descendants physiques, mais dans l’Église de ceux qui croient en Jésus comme Dieu, Seigneur et Sauveur. Ne vous laissez pas prendre par un mensonge ; laissez-vous prendre par la vérité.

없습니다. 그 이유를 말씀드리겠습니다. 첫째, 이들은 복음서가 아닙니다. 복음서는 예수의 생애, 죽음, 부활을 다루는데, 이들은 전혀 그렇지 않습니다. 이들은 부활한 그리스도와의 대화를 담고 있으며, 매우 이상한 내용입니다. 둘째, 이들은 늦게 쓰여졌습니다. 진짜 복음서보다 150년에서 250년 후에 작성되었으며, 교회의 경전 목록에 포함된 적이 없습니다. 대부분은 단 한 권만 남아 있으며, 그마저도 구멍이 많습니다. 셋째, 그 내용이 터무니없습니다. 한 곳에서는 아이가 입맞춤으로 잉태된다고 주장하고, 여자는 남자가 되지 않으면 구원받을 수 없다고 합니다. 흥미로운 점은 영지주의 복음서에 어느 정도 신뢰를 주는 소수의 학자들이 대부분 여성이라는 것입니다. 그러나 물론 영지주의에는 여성을 위한 자리가 전혀

드러난 하나님의 계시에서 비롯되었으며, 영지주의의 마법 주문에서 나온 것이 아닙니다. 또한 진짜 기독교는 거룩한 삶을 요구했으며, 한편으로는 자기 고행을, 다른 한편으로는 성적 방종을 요구하지 않았습니다. 이는 인간의 몸을 폄하하기 시작할 때 나타나는 두 가지 상반된 결과입니다. 진짜 기독교는 그리스도를 신뢰하는 모든 사람의 구원을 추구했으며, 편협하고 오만한 소수를 위한 것이 아니었습니다.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>보시다시피, 영지주의자와 그들의 복음서는 신뢰할 수 없으며, 성경의 복음서는 신뢰할 수 있고 참됩니다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 영지주의 복음서가 마태, 마가, 누가, 요한 복음서보다 100년 이상 늦게 쓰여졌고,

것이라고 말합니다. 왜냐하면 당시 유대 남성은 모두 결혼할 것으로 기대되었기 때문입니다. 그러나 구약의 예언자들인 예레미야나 엘리야는 결혼하지 않았고, 세례 요한도 마찬가지였습니다. 예수님 자신도 하나님 나라를 위해 결혼하지 않을 수 있는 사람들을 칭찬하셨고, 사도 바울도 그러한 입장을 취했습니다. 따라서 예수님 시대 사람들도 거룩한 하나님의 종들 중 일부가 결혼하지 않고 지낸다는 전통을 잘 알고 있었습니다. 신약성경이 마리아 막달레나에 관해 말하는 것은 그녀가 예수님에 의해 일곱 귀신을 쫓아내고, 자신의 재산으로 예수님을 도운 여자 무리에 속했다는 것뿐입니다. 또한 마리아는 부활 후 예수님을 가장 먼저 본 사람이라고 기록되어 있습니다. 이는 매우 중요하며, 마리아가 성경에서 매우 중요한 인물임을 보여주지만, 그녀가 예수님의 아내라는 의미는 아닙니다. 그렇다면 \u003Ci>다 빈치 코드\u003C\u002Fi>는 마리아가 예수님의 아내라는 주장을 어디서 가져온 것일까요?\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>그 답은 영지주의 복음서, 특히 성경 복음서보다 100년 이상 뒤에 쓰인

This makes plausible the whole idea of revelation; that is, it makes it reasonable to expect God to communicate with us, as a Person to persons, concerning the terms for discovering the rest we seek.&nbsp; We want to discover, above all things, what God did to enable this relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>We might expect the communication from God about our relationship to, first of all, tell us that God is a powerful Creator and cares enough to continually sustain His creation.&nbsp; That is, that it would be congruent with the facts about the universe.&nbsp; There are several biblical resources that confirm the findings of science.&nbsp; While scientists speak of the anthropic principle as having originated in the 1970s, the truth is that about 3000 years ago this idea of fine-tuning for the sustaining of life was already hinted at by the prophet Isaiah.&nbsp; “For thus says the LORD, Who created the heavens, Who is God, Who formed the earth and made it,&nbsp;\u003Cem>Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain, Who formed it to be inhabited:\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;I am the LORD, and there is no other.”[1] The biblical record further corroborates this view when it proclaims, “You alone are the LORD; You have made heaven, The heaven of heavens, with all their host, The earth and everything on it, The seas and all that is in them, And&nbsp;\u003Cem>You preserve them all\u003C\u002Fem>.”[2]&nbsp; Douglas Geivett has stated, “God is represented in the Christian Scriptures as the personal Creator of the universe, a being of great power and intelligence, who takes an active interest in the affairs of the universe and exhibits special concern for the finite persons who inhabit our part of the universe.&nbsp; Thus the basic metaphysical presuppositions of the Bible dovetail with our inquiry in the origin of the universe.”[3]&nbsp; In referring to his own critical investigation into the “holy books of the world’s great religions” Hugh Ross has this to say, “Except for the Bible my suspicions were confirmed that they were penned from the limited space-time perspective of human beings and reflected the limited and often incorrect scientific knowledge of the times in which they were written.&nbsp; Only the Bible . . . accurately described . . . the anthropically fine-tuned nature of the universe and solar system.”\u003Ca target=\"_blank\">[4]\u003C\u002Fa>&nbsp; Precisely the discoveries one would expect to make in the book in which God chose to reveal Himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The second thing we could expect this revelation to do is clearly and frankly assess our condition of estrangement, and then provide a definitive way to overcome it.&nbsp; According to Douglas Geivett, “The claim must embody . . . a realistic appraisal of the human predicament and recommend a cure with a plausible prognosis.”[5]&nbsp; In the gospel of Christ we discover “the precise nature of our human predicament as diagnosed with unparalleled realism: we have rebelled against God.”[6] Geivett finds a positive thrust in the particularity of the scriptures in that they provide “a precise diagnosis of the human condition, as well as a satisfactory remedy, we can explain the impetus behind currently fashionable forms of religious pluralism in terms of the human propensity to hide from the God whom we have offended.”[7] This carries us back to the Fall of humankind where Adam, having partaken of the forbidden fruit, sought to hide from God.&nbsp; He sensed this estrangement and sought to correct it on his own.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Christian doctrine of the Fall seems to best account for the human predicament.&nbsp; The ‘why” as to our intuitive awareness that we are not what we are supposed to be and our propensity to fall short of keeping the moral law, no matter how hard we try to do so.&nbsp; God, then, as now, had to set the terms for a relationship with Himself. The Scriptures say that God made animal skins to clothe the estranged humans.[8] The adumbration of sacrifice is significant in that God was to declare later that “the life is in the blood,”[9] and it is only the blood that enables atonement, or “at-one-ment,” with God; that which humans need and seek.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The continuity of the biblical account is astounding, for this whole sacrificial system was a foreshadowing of the death of Christ who would be identified as “the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.”[10]&nbsp; Even in the New Testament we find the same message. “there is no remission from sin.”[11]&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Sin” is how the Bible defines human estrangement from God.&nbsp; This term encompasses our failure to live up to the moral standard that God has established, whether by ignorance or presumption, and of which we are intuitively aware. This moral standard is really not so much His commandments, but His own holy and righteous character.&nbsp; Scriptures teach that no human can achieve the goodness required to be in relationship with God, because, ultimately, the goodness required is His own moral goodness.&nbsp; The only remedy for this estrangement is found in the shedding of blood, the giving of life, of another; a spotless, sinless sacrifice.&nbsp; This is fulfilled in the death of Jesus Christ, in whose blood we may find the forgiveness of our sins, and the restoration of our relationship with God.[12]&nbsp; What Christ’s death, as the consummation that all the Old Testament sacrifices foreshadowed, shows is that God takes sin very seriously and cannot dwell with it, but also that he loves us and desires a relationship with us enough to make provisions for it.[13]&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;In the cross, holy justice, that cannot abide sin, and forgiving love, that yearns for relationship, meet.&nbsp; The God of the Bible, who “takes no pleasure in wickedness, nor shall evil dwell with him,”[14] has assessed the human condition, and found it dreadfully wanting.[15] &nbsp;He is a God with specific expectations, and proscriptions.&nbsp; He is Lewis’ “God of determinate character.”&nbsp; Scripture does not play word games, declaring with clarity who God is, what God expects, and what He rewards – “the Lord is righteous, and He loves righteousness, and the righteous will see His face.”&nbsp; Yet, His holy character is not such that He cannot, through His love, provide a way for sinful humans to be at one with Him.&nbsp; In Christ, the righteous requirements of the law of God are met in behalf of sinful humanity.[16]&nbsp; Crying out in faith for this provision is the means to salvation, i.e. the means to being declared by God to be as righteous as He requires for us to dwell with him.[17]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Clearly, one of the most significant pointers to this being God’s prescribed means for our finding spiritual satisfaction is that the essential message of the whole Bible is the same.&nbsp; This becomes particularly remarkable when one considers that the message of the Bible came to us through some 40 human authors, living in diverse cultures and within varying socio-economic statuses and wrote over a period of about 1500 years, then seeing what they wrote explains with great continuity who we are, how we got here, why we have this sense of estrangement, and what God arranged for our restoration to Himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There is another, substantial criterion by which we can confirm the source of God’s revelation to us once and for all.&nbsp; We might expect that God would confirm the means of his prescribed solution to our estrangement with a definitive intervention in history that could not be interpreted as anything but the work of God.&nbsp; If God has moved in history in any definitive way, it would seemingly have to include the life and work of Jesus Christ.&nbsp; The reason for this is that Jesus Christ did not only die on a cross under Pontius Pilate, but also rose from the dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It can be confirmed by extra-biblical sources that Jesus lived, went about teaching and doing good, attracted many followers and then was crucified.&nbsp; It can also be seen though extra-biblical sources that something transformed his followers into bold witnesses that would readily give up their lives for the belief that their master, Jesus Christ, had indeed raised from the dead.[18]&nbsp;&nbsp; When one considers all the elements of one of the most critical claims of Christianity, viz. that Christ has been raised from the dead, the evidence is compelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There are a number of things that are nearly impossible to account for if the resurrection of Jesus did not occur.&nbsp; First his empty tomb, second the eyewitnesses that claimed to have seen Jesus after his death, third the enthusiastic evangelism of the disciples, fourth the earliest writings of the Christian church, and fifth the rapid emergence and expansion of the early church.[19]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The first point deals with Christ’s&nbsp;\u003Cem>empty tomb.[20]\u003Cstrong>&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fem>What happened to Christ’s body?&nbsp; The suggestions that have been proffered as naturalistic explanations to the resurrection are unconvincing.&nbsp; The suggestion that the disciples stole the body is problematic when one considers the fact that all the disciples held to the claim, and no one’s conscience got the best of them to “blow the whistle.”&nbsp; Besides if the disciples knew of the conspiracy, what would explain their unanimity in proclaiming the gospel of Jesus under threat of severe bodily harm, perhaps that suffered by their master, or even death?&nbsp; Another suggestion is that perhaps the authorities, Roman or Jewish, took the body.&nbsp; This defies explanation, for they wanted to keep the body from being removed and set a Roman guard to keep it from happening.&nbsp; Further, if they had taken the body, to silence the disciples proclamation that Jesus had risen from the dead would simply require the production of the corpse of Christ.&nbsp; This would make it immediately evident that they were gravely misguided.&nbsp; This did not happen.&nbsp; Some have suggested that the disciples hallucinated that Jesus had risen.&nbsp; A problem with this is that hallucinations are not collective but individual.&nbsp; There were hundreds of eyewitnesses that asserted that they had seen the risen Christ.[21]&nbsp; Perhaps Christ just fainted on the cross and then revived in the coolness of the tomb. If Jesus merely revived, he would still have had all the marks of his scourging, and be in need of serious medical attention. How would such a bruised and beaten man in such need of care have inspired his followers to go out and deceptively proclaim, under threat of death, that he had risen in glory and power? Finally, there is the suggestion that the women went to the wrong tomb.&nbsp; Obviously, even if they had, this error would be quickly corrected, as there were other witnesses to the burial. The alternatives are less plausible than the claim of the New Testament that “He is risen , as he said.”[22]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One may then object that the records of the resurrection are unreliable; because they were religious propaganda intended to elevate the historical Jesus to a divine status that he himself never intended anyone to believe.&nbsp; The problem with this objection is that the New Testament records have been demonstrated to be reliable documents rooted in history.&nbsp; When one considers such factors as the manuscript evidence, viz. that the New Testament boasts the greatest number of extant copies compared to other classical writings, thus making reconstruction much more accurate, even by standards of secular scholarship, and that the gaps between the original manuscripts and the copies is small compared to all other classical works considered to be reliable for historical information.&nbsp; These two factors have led even a critical New Testament scholar such as John A. T. Robinson to conclude that the New Testament is “by far the best attested text of any ancient writing in the world.”[23]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The&nbsp;\u003Cem>earliest writings\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;of Christianity attest to the historicity of the resurrection of Christ, because they attest to an even earlier oral tradition.&nbsp; Gary Habermas has shown that there are many creeds and traditions embedded in the New Testament texts, especially certain writings of Paul, that actually predate the texts themselves.[24] These creeds are an important clue to discovering what the earliest Christians believed and taught about the person of Jesus Christ.&nbsp; It soon becomes evident that they did not fabricate a “Christ of faith” for there was not enough time to develop such legends and too many living witnesses to allow for distortion to occur.&nbsp; Through oral traditions the apostolic teachings were memorized and passed on until they were recorded in written form.&nbsp; These creeds confirm the gospel of Christ.&nbsp; One of them seems to be in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 where Paul makes specific reference to the gospel as a creedal tradition that he had been taught by others.&nbsp;&nbsp; He writes:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>1Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand,&nbsp;2by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain.&nbsp;3For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,&nbsp;4and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,[25]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This tells us that the “gospel,” as spelled out by Paul here as entailing the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, was not his invention, but rather something that he received as a legacy from those who came to faith earlier than he.&nbsp;&nbsp; According to Habermas “the majority of critical scholars question a few of the epistles that bear Paul’s name . . . But Romans, Corinthians, Galatians and Philippians are rarely questioned, even by skeptics.”[26]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>1 Corinthians and Romans are two of the most historically accredited New Testament documents, written by Paul in the early 50s and 60s A.D.&nbsp; The significance of the date is that Christ died sometime within the early 30s A.D. thus Paul is referring to the beliefs among Christians that arose shortly after the actual events of the death and resurrection of Christ.&nbsp; This is hardly enough time for legends about the “Christ of faith” to be developed, especially when multiple eyewitnesses to the events would still be alive and know whether the events were being properly reported.[27]&nbsp; Along with the historical events of the death, and resurrection, are the theological implications of these events.&nbsp; Christ died&nbsp;\u003Cem>for our sins\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;according to the Scriptures, and that he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,” (according to the Scriptures being a reference that these events occurred in fulfillment of Old Testament foreshadowing).[28] In Romans Paul speaks of the resurrection as being that event by which Jesus was “declared to be the son of God with power.”[29]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Another evidence that the resurrection occurred as recorded in the New Testament is the presence of&nbsp;\u003Cem>eyewitnesses\u003C\u002Fem>.&nbsp; Returning to 1 Corinthians, it is significant that Paul, after discussing the “gospel” in terms of Christ’s death, burial and resurrection, spends more time discussing his post resurrection appearances to specific people.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>5and that&nbsp;\u003Cem>He was seen\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;by Cephas, then by the twelve.&nbsp;6After that&nbsp;\u003Cem>He was seen\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep.&nbsp;7After that&nbsp;\u003Cem>He was seen\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;by James, then by all the apostles.&nbsp;8Then last of all&nbsp;\u003Cem>He was seen\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;by me also, as by one born out of due time.[30]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It is evident that Paul most definitely wanted to demonstrate that the resurrection had occurred and that it meant eternal life for all that would subsequently believe in Christ.&nbsp; This is the obvious burden of the entire chapter as Paul proclaims,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>13But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen.&nbsp;14And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.&nbsp;15Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up--if in fact the dead do not rise.&nbsp;16For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen.&nbsp;17And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins![31]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Paul understood the critical significance of the resurrection for the whole structure of the Christian faith and that, even then, eyewitnesses must confirm its historical validity.&nbsp; For him to say that there were over 500 that saw the risen Christ at once and then to say that most of them are still alive to testify was a huge risk for his own integrity and ministry if these events did not happen.&nbsp; One of the more significant points about witnesses of the resurrected Christ has to do with the women.&nbsp; C. Stephen Evans comments that, “It is noteworthy that women were the first witnesses to the resurrection.”[32].&nbsp; Why so “noteworthy?”&nbsp; It actually increases the plausibility of the gospel accounts about the resurrection when one considers the patriarchal society in which this message was first presented.&nbsp; If the early Christians really were writing propaganda, then why would they include something that would, in this man-centered culture, not appeal to many people at all?&nbsp; Who would believe the witness of women, and why would the gospel writers risk the immediate rejection of the gospel records by suggesting women were the first to see and report the resurrection? This does not fit with either the goals or means of propaganda, which is to appeal to the interests of the masses to persuade them.&nbsp; The only logical conclusion is that they were writing the facts just as they had occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Finally, we will consider the&nbsp;\u003Cem>enthusiasm\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;of the disciples and the&nbsp;\u003Cem>emergence and expansion\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;of the early church.&nbsp; The political and religious odds were against Christ’s followers and the movement that bore his name.&nbsp; In view of these odds, one of the most signal elements to demand the attention of skeptics as well as believers is the transformation of a band of dejected and fearful disciples following Christ’s crucifixion, into a band of bold and enthusiastic preachers of the resurrection under threat of bodily harm and even death.&nbsp; Christ’s’ disciples would stand before the authorities and say “We must obey God rather than man.”[33] &nbsp;Frank Morrison, an English journalist who set out to disprove Christianity as a hoax, came away from investigating the facts “compelled by the sheer force of circumstance” to write, instead, showing that Christ is indeed risen from the dead. Morrison, overwhelmed by the evidence, states,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Whoever comes to this problem has sooner or later to confront a fact that cannot be explained away or removed by any logical processes whatever.&nbsp; It looks us persistently in the face as the one concrete and unassailably attested certainty of the situation.&nbsp; This fact is that, . . . a profound conviction came to the little group of people whose behavior changed - a change that attests to the fact that Jesus had risen from the grave.[34]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This change, Morison concludes, seems best explained by fact that the disciples had seen the risen Christ in glory and power and were thereby emboldened to stand before once feared adversaries and die for their commitment that Christ had indeed risen from the dead.&nbsp; They did not fear the consequences of this bold stand because their Master had promised them, “I am the resurrection and the life.&nbsp; He who believes in me, though he may die, he shall live, and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die.”[35]&nbsp; This theme is picked up by the Apostle Paul, who declares “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who sleep (have died) in Jesus.”[36]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With the words “God will bring with him” we are back to the prospect and promise of a relationship with God.&nbsp; Paul further explains that in Christ’s resurrection is our promise of resurrection and that once this occurs, “we shall always be with the Lord.”[37]&nbsp; In Christ, and his resurrection God has historically visited humans whom he cares about and with whom he desires an eternal relationship.&nbsp; Through the resurrection of Jesus, God confirms all that Jesus ever taught about the human predicament, and about its remedy.&nbsp; He also confirmed Christ’s proclamations about himself and his indispensability as the singular way to obtain a relationship with God.[38]&nbsp; The disciples believed this, and because of this conviction about the resurrection, stood firm under threat of death declaring, “There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”[39]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conclusion:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Some will still insist a God of love would not exclude others from his eternal blessings simply because they did not know and confess Christ as Savior.&nbsp; To this it might be replied that a God who loves us enough to create us and sustain us would also tend to our spiritual needs as well, and might be expected not to leave us on our own to figure Him out, but rather to cut through the religious and spiritual confusion and provide in time and history a clarion message of deliverance, and confirm that His message has been spoken once and for all by a very special, unmistakable sign that He indeed is behind it all.&nbsp; He would do something decisive and unmistakable about it.&nbsp; The relevance of the Christian message comes through here, because sufficient evidence points to His having done this in no one else but Jesus. &nbsp;Thus we can proclaim confidently with the Apostle “There is truly only “\u003Cem>one&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”&nbsp;[40]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Lewis relates how he, before becoming a Christian, was so reluctant to “pass over from the notion of an abstract . . . deity to the living God.”[41]&nbsp;&nbsp; “I do not wonder,” he remarks, “this is the very point at which so many draw back – I would have done so myself if I could and proceed no further with Christianity.&nbsp; An ‘impersonal God’ – well and good.&nbsp; A subjective God of beauty, truth and goodness, inside our own heads – better still.&nbsp; A formless life-force surging through us, a vast power which we can tap – best of all.&nbsp; But God Himself, alive, pulling at the other end of the cord, perhaps approaching at an infinite speed, the hunter the king the husband -&nbsp; that is quite another matter.”[42]&nbsp; “There comes a moment when people who have been dabbling in religion (‘Man’s Search for God!’) suddenly draw back.&nbsp;

Esto hace plausible toda la idea de revelaci&oacute;n; es decir, hace que sea razonable esperar que Dios se comunique con nosotros, como persona a personas, con respecto a los t&eacute;rminos para descubrir el descanso que buscamos. Queremos descubrir, sobre todo, lo que Dios hizo para permitir esta relaci&oacute;n.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Podemos esperar la comunicaci&oacute;n de Dios sobre nuestra relaci&oacute;n para, antes que nada, decirnos que Dios es un Creador poderoso y que se preocupa lo suficiente como para sostener continuamente Su creaci&oacute;n. Es decir, que ser&iacute;a congruente con los hechos sobre el universo. Hay varios recursos b&iacute;blicos que confirman los hallazgos de la ciencia. Mientras que los cient&iacute;ficos hablan del principio antr&oacute;pico que se origin&oacute; en la d&eacute;cada de 1970, la verdad es que hace unos 3000 a&ntilde;os esta idea del ajuste para el sustento de la vida ya fue insinuada por el profeta Isa&iacute;as. \"Porque as&iacute; dice el SE&Ntilde;OR, qui&eacute;n cre&oacute; los cielos, qui&eacute;n es Dios, qui&eacute;n form&oacute; la tierra y la hizo, qui&eacute;n la estableci&oacute;, qui&eacute;n no la cre&oacute; en vano, qui&eacute;n la form&oacute; para ser habitada: yo soy el Se&ntilde;or, y no hay otro \". [1] El registro b&iacute;blico corrobora a&uacute;n m&aacute;s este punto de vista cuando proclama:\" T&uacute; solo eres el Se&ntilde;or; Has hecho el cielo, el cielo de los cielos, con todo su ej&eacute;rcito, la tierra y todo lo que hay en &eacute;l, los mares y todo lo que hay en ellos, y los preservas a todos \". [2] Douglas Geivett ha declarado:\" Dios est&aacute; representado en las Escrituras cristianas como el Creador personal del universo, un ser de gran poder e inteligencia, que tiene un inter&eacute;s activo en los asuntos del universo y muestra una preocupaci&oacute;n especial por las personas finitas que habitan nuestra parte del universo. As&iacute;, las presuposiciones metaf&iacute;sicas b&aacute;sicas de la Biblia encajan con nuestra investigaci&oacute;n sobre el origen del universo \". [3] Al referirse a su propia investigaci&oacute;n cr&iacute;tica sobre los\" libros sagrados de las grandes religiones del mundo \", Hugh Ross dice:\" Excepto Para la Biblia, mis sospechas se confirmaron de que estaban escritas desde la perspectiva limitada del espacio-tiempo de los seres humanos y reflejaban el conocimiento cient&iacute;fico limitado y a menudo incorrecto de los tiempos en que fueron escritas. Solo la Biblia. . . descrito con precisi&oacute;n&hellip; La naturaleza antropol&oacute;gicamente afinada del universo y el sistema solar. &rdquo;[4] Precisamente los descubrimientos que uno esperar&iacute;a hacer en el libro en el que Dios eligi&oacute; revelarse a s&iacute; mismo.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>La segunda cosa que podr&iacute;amos esperar que haga esta revelaci&oacute;n es evaluar clara y francamente nuestra condici&oacute;n de distanciamiento, y luego proporcionar una forma definitiva de superarla. Seg&uacute;n Douglas Geivett, &ldquo;El reclamo debe encarnar. . . una evaluaci&oacute;n realista de la situaci&oacute;n humana y recomendar una cura con un pron&oacute;stico plausible \". [5] En el evangelio de Cristo descubrimos\" la naturaleza precisa de nuestra situaci&oacute;n humana diagnosticada con un realismo incomparable: nos hemos rebelado contra Dios \"[6]. ] Geivett encuentra un impulso positivo en la particularidad de las escrituras, ya que proporcionan \"un diagn&oacute;stico preciso de la condici&oacute;n humana, as&iacute; como un remedio satisfactorio, podemos explicar el &iacute;mpetu detr&aacute;s de las formas actuales de pluralismo religioso en t&eacute;rminos de la propensi&oacute;n humana esconderse del Dios a quien hemos ofendido. &rdquo;[7] Esto nos lleva de regreso a la Ca&iacute;da de la humanidad donde Ad&aacute;n, despu&eacute;s de haber participado del fruto prohibido, trat&oacute; de esconderse de Dios. Sinti&oacute; este alejamiento y trat&oacute; de corregirlo por su cuenta.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>La doctrina cristiana de la ca&iacute;da parece explicar mejor la situaci&oacute;n humana. El \"por qu&eacute;\" en cuanto a nuestra conciencia intuitiva de que no somos lo que se supone que debemos ser y nuestra propensi&oacute;n a no cumplir con la ley moral, no importa cu&aacute;nto lo intentemos. Dios, entonces, como ahora, ten&iacute;a que establecer los t&eacute;rminos para una relaci&oacute;n consigo mismo. Las Escrituras dicen que Dios hizo pieles de animales para vestir a los humanos separados. [8] La adulaci&oacute;n del sacrificio es significativa en el sentido de que Dios declarar&iacute;a m&aacute;s tarde que \"la vida est&aacute; en la sangre\" [9] y que es solo la sangre la que permite la expiaci&oacute;n o \"uni&oacute;n\" con Dios; lo que los humanos necesitan y buscan.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>La continuidad del relato b&iacute;blico es asombrosa, ya que todo este sistema de sacrificios fue un presagio de la muerte de Cristo, que ser&iacute;a identificado como \"el cordero de Dios que quita los pecados del mundo\". [10] Incluso en el Nuevo Testamento Encontramos el mismo mensaje. \"No hay remisi&oacute;n del pecado\". [11]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>\"Pecado\" es c&oacute;mo la Biblia define el alejamiento humano de Dios. Este t&eacute;rmino abarca nuestra incapacidad de cumplir con el est&aacute;ndar moral que Dios ha establecido, ya sea por ignorancia o presunci&oacute;n, y del cual somos intuitivamente conscientes. Este est&aacute;ndar moral no es realmente tanto sus mandamientos, sino su propio car&aacute;cter santo y justo. Las Escrituras ense&ntilde;an que ning&uacute;n ser humano puede lograr la bondad requerida para estar en relaci&oacute;n con Dios, porque, en &uacute;ltima instancia, la bondad requerida es su propia bondad moral. El &uacute;nico remedio para este alejamiento se encuentra en el derramamiento de sangre, la entrega de vida, de otro; Un sacrificio impecable e impecable. Esto se cumple en la muerte de Jesucristo, en cuya sangre podemos encontrar el perd&oacute;n de nuestros pecados y la restauraci&oacute;n de nuestra relaci&oacute;n con Dios. [12] Lo que la muerte de Cristo, como la consumaci&oacute;n que todos los sacrificios del Antiguo Testamento presagiaron, muestra es que Dios toma el pecado muy en serio y no puede morar con &eacute;l, sino tambi&eacute;n que nos ama y desea una relaci&oacute;n con nosotros lo suficiente como para hacer provisiones para ello. [13 ] En la cruz, la justicia santa, que no puede soportar el pecado, y el amor perdonador, que anhela una relaci&oacute;n, se encuentran. El Dios de la Biblia, que \"no se complace en la maldad, ni el mal morar&aacute; con &eacute;l\", [14] ha evaluado la condici&oacute;n humana y la ha encontrado terriblemente deficiente. [15] &Eacute;l es un Dios con expectativas espec&iacute;ficas y proscripciones. &Eacute;l es el \"Dios de car&aacute;cter determinado\" de Lewis. Las Escrituras no juegan juegos de palabras, declarando con claridad qui&eacute;n es Dios, qu&eacute; espera Dios y qu&eacute; recompensa: \"el Se&ntilde;or es justo y ama la justicia, y los justos ver&aacute;n Su rostro &rdquo;. Sin embargo, su car&aacute;cter sagrado no es tal que no puede, a trav&eacute;s de su amor, proporcionar una manera para que los humanos pecadores sean uno con &Eacute;l. En Cristo, los requisitos justos de la ley de Dios se cumplen en nombre de la humanidad pecadora. [16] Clamar en fe por esta provisi&oacute;n es el medio para la salvaci&oacute;n, es decir, el medio para ser declarado por Dios como tan justo como &Eacute;l requiere que nosotros moremos con &eacute;l. [17]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Claramente, uno de los indicadores m&aacute;s significativos de que este es el medio prescrito por Dios para encontrar satisfacci&oacute;n espiritual es que el mensaje esencial de toda la Biblia es el mismo. Esto se vuelve particularmente notable cuando se considera que el mensaje de la Biblia nos lleg&oacute; a trav&eacute;s de unos 40 autores humanos, que viven en diversas culturas y dentro de diferentes estados socioecon&oacute;micos y escribieron durante un per&iacute;odo de aproximadamente 1500 a&ntilde;os, luego viendo lo que escribieron explica con gran continuidad qui&eacute;nes somos, c&oacute;mo llegamos aqu&iacute;, por qu&eacute; tenemos este sentido de extra&ntilde;amiento, y lo que Dios arregl&oacute; para nuestra restauraci&oacute;n.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Hay otro criterio sustancial por el cual podemos confirmar la fuente de la revelaci&oacute;n de Dios de una vez por todas. Podemos esperar que Dios confirme los medios de su soluci&oacute;n prescrita a nuestro alejamiento con una intervenci&oacute;n definitiva en la historia que no podr&iacute;a interpretarse como otra cosa que la obra de Dios. Si Dios se ha movido en la historia de manera definitiva, aparentemente tendr&iacute;a que incluir la vida y la obra de Jesucristo. La raz&oacute;n de esto es que Jesucristo no solo muri&oacute; en una cruz debajo de Poncio Pilato, sino que tambi&eacute;n resucit&oacute; de entre los muertos.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Fuentes extra b&iacute;blicas pueden confirmar que Jes&uacute;s vivi&oacute;, se dedic&oacute; a ense&ntilde;ar y a hacer el bien, atrajo a muchos seguidores y luego fue crucificado. Tambi&eacute;n se puede ver a trav&eacute;s de fuentes extrab&iacute;blicas que algo transform&oacute; a sus seguidores en audaces testigos que f&aacute;cilmente abandonar&iacute;an sus vidas por la creencia de que su maestro, Jesucristo, hab&iacute;a resucitado de entre los muertos. [18] Cuando uno considera todos los elementos de una de las afirmaciones m&aacute;s cr&iacute;ticas del cristianismo, a saber. que Cristo ha resucitado de la muerte, la evidencia es convincente.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Hay una serie de cosas que son casi imposibles de explicar si la resurrecci&oacute;n de Jes&uacute;s no ocurri&oacute;. Primero su tumba vac&iacute;a, segundo los testigos que afirmaron haber visto a Jes&uacute;s despu&eacute;s de su muerte, tercero el evangelismo entusiasta de los disc&iacute;pulos, cuarto los primeros escritos de la iglesia cristiana y quinto el r&aacute;pido surgimiento y expansi&oacute;n de la iglesia primitiva [19].\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>El primer punto trata de la tumba vac&iacute;a de Cristo. [20] &iquest;Qu&eacute; pas&oacute; con el cuerpo de Cristo? Las sugerencias que se han ofrecido como explicaciones naturalistas de la resurrecci&oacute;n no son convincentes. La sugerencia de que los disc&iacute;pulos robaron el cuerpo es problem&aacute;tica cuando se considera el hecho de que todos los disc&iacute;pulos se aferraron a la afirmaci&oacute;n, y que la conciencia de nadie consigui&oacute; lo mejor de ellos para \"hacer sonar el silbato\". Adem&aacute;s, si los disc&iacute;pulos supieran de la conspiraci&oacute;n, &iquest;qu&eacute;? &iquest;Explicar&iacute;a su unanimidad al proclamar el evangelio de Jes&uacute;s bajo amenaza de da&ntilde;o corporal severo, tal vez el sufrido por su maestro, o incluso la muerte? Otra sugerencia es que quiz&aacute;s las autoridades, romanas o jud&iacute;as, tomaron el cuerpo. Esto desaf&iacute;a la explicaci&oacute;n, ya que quer&iacute;an evitar que el cuerpo fuera removido y establecer una guardia romana para evitar que sucediera. Adem&aacute;s, si hubieran tomado el cuerpo, silenciar la proclamaci&oacute;n de los disc&iacute;pulos de que Jes&uacute;s hab&iacute;a resucitado de entre los muertos simplemente requerir&iacute;a la producci&oacute;n del cad&aacute;ver de Cristo. Esto har&iacute;a evidente de inmediato que estaban gravemente equivocados. Esto no sucedi&oacute;. Algunos han sugerido que los disc&iacute;pulos alucinaron que Jes&uacute;s hab&iacute;a resucitado. Un problema con esto es que las alucinaciones no son colectivas sino individuales. Hubo cientos de testigos que afirmaron que hab&iacute;an visto al Cristo resucitado. [21] Quiz&aacute;s Cristo simplemente se desmay&oacute; en la cruz y luego revivi&oacute; en la frescura de la tumba. Si Jes&uacute;s simplemente reviviera, todav&iacute;a habr&iacute;a tenido todas las marcas de su flagelo y necesitar&iacute;a atenci&oacute;n m&eacute;dica seria. &iquest;C&oacute;mo un hombre golpeado y golpeado con tanta necesidad de cuidado habr&iacute;a inspirado a sus seguidores a salir y proclamar enga&ntilde;osamente, bajo amenaza de muerte, que hab&iacute;a resucitado en gloria y poder? Finalmente, existe la sugerencia de que las mujeres fueron a la tumba equivocada. Obviamente, incluso si lo hubieran hecho, este error se corregir&iacute;a r&aacute;pidamente, ya que hab&iacute;a otros testigos del entierro. Las alternativas son menos plausibles que la afirmaci&oacute;n del Nuevo Testamento de que \"ha resucitado, como dijo\". [22]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Entonces se puede objetar que los registros de la resurrecci&oacute;n no son confiables; porque eran propaganda religiosa destinada a elevar al Jes&uacute;s hist&oacute;rico a un estado divino que &eacute;l mismo nunca quiso que nadie creyera. El problema con esta objeci&oacute;n es que los registros del Nuevo Testamento han demostrado ser documentos confiables arraigados en la historia. Cuando uno considera factores tales como la evidencia del manuscrito, a saber. que el Nuevo Testamento cuenta con la mayor cantidad de copias existentes en comparaci&oacute;n con otros escritos cl&aacute;sicos, lo que hace que la reconstrucci&oacute;n sea mucho m&aacute;s precisa, incluso seg&uacute;n los est&aacute;ndares de la erudici&oacute;n secular, y que las brechas entre los manuscritos originales y las copias son peque&ntilde;as en comparaci&oacute;n con todas las dem&aacute;s obras cl&aacute;sicas considerado confiable para la informaci&oacute;n hist&oacute;rica. Estos dos factores han llevado incluso a un erudito cr&iacute;tico del Nuevo Testamento como John A. T. Robinson a concluir que el Nuevo Testamento es \"con mucho el texto mejor atestiguado de cualquier escritura antigua en el mundo\". [23]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Los primeros escritos del cristianismo dan fe de la historicidad de la resurrecci&oacute;n de Cristo, porque dan fe de una tradici&oacute;n oral a&uacute;n m&aacute;s temprana. Gary Habermas ha demostrado que hay muchos credos y tradiciones incrustados en los textos del Nuevo Testamento, especialmente ciertos escritos de Pablo, que en realidad son anteriores a los textos mismos [24]. Estos credos son una pista importante para descubrir lo que los primeros cristianos cre&iacute;an y ense&ntilde;aban acerca de la persona de Jesucristo. Pronto se hace evidente que no fabricaron un \"Cristo de la fe\" porque no hubo tiempo suficiente para desarrollar tales leyendas y demasiados testigos vivos para permitir que se produzca la distorsi&oacute;n. A trav&eacute;s de las tradiciones orales, las ense&ntilde;anzas apost&oacute;licas fueron memorizadas y transmitidas hasta que fueron registradas en forma escrita. Estos credos confirman el evangelio de Cristo. Uno de ellos parece estar en 1 Corintios 15: 1-4, donde Pablo hace referencia espec&iacute;fica al evangelio como una tradici&oacute;n cre&iacute;da que otros le hab&iacute;an ense&ntilde;ado. El escribe:\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>1 Adem&aacute;s, hermanos, les declaro el evangelio que les prediqu&eacute;, que tambi&eacute;n recibieron y en el que est&aacute;n de pie, 2 por el cual tambi&eacute;n son salvos, si mantienen firme la palabra que les prediqu&eacute;, a menos que creyeran en vano. 3Pues te entregu&eacute; en primer lugar lo que tambi&eacute;n recib&iacute;: que Cristo muri&oacute; por nuestros pecados seg&uacute;n las Escrituras, 4 y que fue sepultado, y que resucit&oacute; al tercer d&iacute;a seg&uacute;n las Escrituras, [25]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Esto nos dice que el \"evangelio\", tal como lo describe Pablo aqu&iacute; como que implica la muerte, sepultura y resurrecci&oacute;n de Jes&uacute;s, no fue su invenci&oacute;n, sino m&aacute;s bien algo que recibi&oacute; como legado de aquellos que llegaron a la fe antes que &eacute;l. Seg&uacute;n Habermas, &ldquo;la mayor&iacute;a de los eruditos cr&iacute;ticos cuestionan algunas de las ep&iacute;stolas que llevan el nombre de Paul. . . Pero los romanos, corintios, g&aacute;latas y filipenses rara vez son cuestionados, incluso por los esc&eacute;pticos &rdquo;[26].\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>1 Corintios y Romanos son dos de los documentos neotestamentarios m&aacute;s acreditados hist&oacute;ricamente, escritos por Pablo a principios de los a&ntilde;os 50 y 60 dC El significado de la fecha es que Cristo muri&oacute; en alg&uacute;n momento dentro de los primeros a&ntilde;os 30 dC por lo tanto, Pablo se refiere a las creencias entre los cristianos que surgi&oacute; poco despu&eacute;s de los eventos reales de la muerte y resurrecci&oacute;n de Cristo. Este no es tiempo suficiente para que se desarrollen leyendas sobre el \"Cristo de la fe\", especialmente cuando m&uacute;ltiples testigos oculares de los eventos a&uacute;n estar&iacute;an vivos y sabr&aacute;n si los eventos se informaron adecuadamente. [27] Junto con los eventos hist&oacute;ricos de la muerte y la resurrecci&oacute;n, est&aacute;n las implicaciones teol&oacute;gicas de estos eventos. Cristo muri&oacute; por nuestros pecados seg&uacute;n las Escrituras, y que resucit&oacute; al tercer d&iacute;a seg&uacute;n las Escrituras \"(seg&uacute;n las Escrituras como referencia de que estos eventos ocurrieron en cumplimiento del presagio del Antiguo Testamento). [28] En Romanos, Pablo habla de la resurrecci&oacute;n como el evento por el cual Jes&uacute;s fue \"declarado hijo de Dios con poder\" [29].\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Otra evidencia de que la resurrecci&oacute;n ocurri&oacute; seg&uacute;n lo registrado en el Nuevo Testamento es la presencia de testigos oculares. Volviendo a 1 Corintios, es significativo que Pablo, despu&eacute;s de discutir el \"evangelio\" en t&eacute;rminos de la muerte, sepultura y resurrecci&oacute;n de Cristo, pase m&aacute;s tiempo discutiendo sus apariciones posteriores a la resurrecci&oacute;n a personas espec&iacute;ficas.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>5 y que fue visto por Cefas, luego por los doce. 6Despu&eacute;s de eso fue visto por m&aacute;s de quinientos hermanos a la vez, de los cuales la mayor parte permanece hasta el presente, pero algunos se han quedado dormidos. 7Despu&eacute;s de eso fue visto por Santiago, luego por todos los ap&oacute;stoles. 8El &uacute;ltimo de todos fue visto por m&iacute; tambi&eacute;n, como por un nacido fuera de plazo. [30]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Es evidente que Pablo definitivamente quer&iacute;a demostrar que la resurrecci&oacute;n hab&iacute;a ocurrido y que significaba vida eterna para todos los que posteriormente creer&iacute;an en Cristo. Esta es la carga obvia de todo el cap&iacute;tulo cuando Pablo proclama:\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>13 pero si no hay resurrecci&oacute;n de los muertos, entonces Cristo no resucit&oacute;. 14 y si Cristo no ha resucitado, entonces nuestra predicaci&oacute;n est&aacute; vac&iacute;a y tu fe tambi&eacute;n est&aacute; vac&iacute;a. 15 s&iacute;, y nos encontramos con falsos testigos de Dios, porque hemos testificado de Dios que &Eacute;l levant&oacute; a Cristo, a quien no levant&oacute;, si de hecho los muertos no resucitan. 16 porque si los muertos no resucitan, entonces Cristo no resucit&oacute;. 17 Y si Cristo no ha resucitado, tu fe es in&uacute;til; &iexcl;todav&iacute;a est&aacute;s en tus pecados! [31]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Pablo entendi&oacute; el significado cr&iacute;tico de la resurrecci&oacute;n para toda la estructura de la fe cristiana y que, incluso entonces, los testigos oculares deben confirmar su validez hist&oacute;rica. Para &eacute;l, decir que hab&iacute;a m&aacute;s de 500 que vieron al Cristo resucitado a la vez y luego decir que la mayor&iacute;a de ellos todav&iacute;a est&aacute;n vivos para testificar era un gran riesgo para su propia integridad y ministerio si estos eventos no ocurr&iacute;an. Uno de los puntos m&aacute;s significativos sobre los testigos del Cristo resucitado tiene que ver con las mujeres. C. Stephen Evans comenta que, \"Es notable que las mujeres fueron los primeros testigos de la resurrecci&oacute;n\". [32]. &iquest;Por qu&eacute; tan &ldquo;notable&rdquo;? En realidad, aumenta la plausibilidad de los relatos del Evangelio sobre la resurrecci&oacute;n cuando se considera la sociedad patriarcal en la que se present&oacute; este mensaje por primera vez. Si los primeros cristianos realmente escrib&iacute;an propaganda, &iquest;por qu&eacute; incluir&iacute;an algo que, en esta cultura centrada en el hombre, no atraer&iacute;a a muchas personas? &iquest;Qui&eacute;n creer&iacute;a en el testimonio de las mujeres y por qu&eacute; los escritores de los evangelios se arriesgar&iacute;an al rechazo inmediato de los registros del evangelio al sugerir que las mujeres fueron las primeras en ver y reportar la resurrecci&oacute;n? Esto no encaja ni con los objetivos ni con los medios de propaganda, que es apelar a los intereses de las masas para persuadirlos. La &uacute;nica conclusi&oacute;n l&oacute;gica es que estaban escribiendo los hechos tal como hab&iacute;an ocurrido.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Finalmente, consideraremos el entusiasmo de los disc&iacute;pulos y el surgimiento y expansi&oacute;n de la iglesia primitiva. Las posibilidades pol&iacute;ticas y religiosas estaban en contra de los seguidores de Cristo y el movimiento que llevaba su nombre. En vista de estas posibilidades, uno de los elementos m&aacute;s importantes para exigir la atenci&oacute;n de los esc&eacute;pticos y creyentes es la transformaci&oacute;n de una banda de disc&iacute;pulos abatidos y temerosos despu&eacute;s de la crucifixi&oacute;n de Cristo, en una banda de predicadores valientes y entusiastas de la resurrecci&oacute;n bajo amenaza. de da&ntilde;o corporal e incluso la muerte. Los disc&iacute;pulos de Cristo se pondr&iacute;an de pie ante las autoridades y dir&iacute;an: \"Debemos obedecer a Dios en lugar de a los hombres\". [33] Frank Morrison, un periodista ingl&eacute;s que se propuso refutar el cristianismo como un enga&ntilde;o, sali&oacute; de investigar los hechos \"obligados por la pura fuerza de las circunstancias \"para escribir, en cambio, mostrando que Cristo ha resucitado de la muerte. Morrison, abrumado por la evidencia, afirma:\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&ldquo;Quienquiera que llegue a este problema, tarde o temprano, debe enfrentar un hecho que no puede ser explicado o eliminado por ning&uacute;n proceso l&oacute;gico. Nos mira persistentemente a la cara como la certeza concreta e inexpresable de la situaci&oacute;n. Este hecho es que, . . . Una profunda convicci&oacute;n lleg&oacute; al peque&ntilde;o grupo de personas cuyo comportamiento cambi&oacute;, un cambio que atestigua el hecho de que Jes&uacute;s hab&iacute;a resucitado de la tumba [34].\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Este cambio, concluye Morrison, parece explicarse mejor por el hecho de que los disc&iacute;pulos hab&iacute;an visto al Cristo resucitado en gloria y poder y, por lo tanto, se envalentonaron para enfrentarse a los adversarios antes temidos y morir por su compromiso de que Cristo hab&iacute;a resucitado de entre los muertos. No temieron las consecuencias de esta postura audaz porque su Maestro les hab&iacute;a prometido: &ldquo;Yo soy la resurrecci&oacute;n y la vida. El que cree en m&iacute;, aunque muera, vivir&aacute;, y el que vive y cree en m&iacute; nunca morir&aacute; \". [35] Este tema es recogido por el ap&oacute;stol Pablo, quien declara\" Porque si creemos que Jes&uacute;s muri&oacute; y resucit&oacute;, aun as&iacute; Dios traer&aacute; con &eacute;l a los que duermen (han muerto) en Jes&uacute;s \". [36]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Con las palabras \"Dios traer&aacute; con &eacute;l\" volvemos a la perspectiva y promesa de una relaci&oacute;n con Dios. Pablo explica adem&aacute;s que en la resurrecci&oacute;n de Cristo est&aacute; nuestra promesa de resurrecci&oacute;n y que una vez que esto ocurra, \"siempre estaremos con el Se&ntilde;or\". [37] En Cristo, y su resurrecci&oacute;n, Dios ha visitado hist&oacute;ricamente a los seres humanos a quienes le importan y con quienes se preocupa. desea una relaci&oacute;n eterna A trav&eacute;s de la resurrecci&oacute;n de Jes&uacute;s, Dios confirma todo lo que Jes&uacute;s ense&ntilde;&oacute; acerca de la situaci&oacute;n humana y su remedio. Tambi&eacute;n confirm&oacute; las proclamaciones de Cristo sobre s&iacute; mismo y su indispensabilidad como la forma singular de obtener una relaci&oacute;n con Dios. [38] Los disc&iacute;pulos creyeron esto, y debido a esta convicci&oacute;n sobre la resurrecci&oacute;n, se mantuvieron firmes bajo la amenaza de muerte declarando: \"No hay otro nombre bajo el cielo entre los hombres por el cual podamos ser salvos\".

Cela rend plausible l’idée même de révélation ; c’est-à-dire qu’il est raisonnable d’attendre de Dieu qu’Il communique avec nous, en tant que Personne aux personnes, concernant les conditions pour découvrir le repos que nous cherchons. Nous voulons découvrir, par-dessus tout, ce que Dieu a fait pour rendre possible cette relation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Nous pourrions attendre de la communication de Dieu sur notre relation qu’elle nous dise, tout d’abord, que Dieu est un Créateur puissant et qu’Il se soucie assez pour soutenir continuellement Sa création. C’est-à-dire que cela serait congruent avec les faits concernant l’univers. Il existe plusieurs ressources bibliques qui confirment les découvertes de la science. Alors que les scientifiques parlent du principe anthropique comme ayant pris naissance dans les années 1970, la vérité est qu’il y a environ 3000 ans cette idée d’ajustement fin pour le maintien de la vie était déjà suggérée par le prophète Isaïe. « Car ainsi parle l’Éternel, qui a créé les cieux, qui est Dieu, qui a formé la terre et l’a faite, \u003Cem>qui l’a établie, qui ne l’a pas créée en vain, qui l’a formée pour être habitée :\u003C\u002Fem> Je suis l’Éternel, et il n’y en a point d’autre ».[1] Le récit biblique corrobore encore cette vue lorsqu’il proclame : « Toi seul es l’Éternel ; Tu as fait les cieux, les cieux des cieux, avec toute leur armée, la terre et tout ce qui est sur elle, les mers et tout ce qui est en elles, \u003Cem>et Tu les conserves toutes\u003C\u002Fem> ».[2] Douglas Geivett a déclaré : « Dieu est représenté dans les Écritures chrétiennes comme le Créateur personnel de l’univers, un être de grande puissance et d’intelligence, qui prend un intérêt actif aux affaires de l’univers et manifeste une préoccupation spéciale pour les personnes finies qui habitent notre partie de l’univers. Ainsi, les présupposés métaphysiques fondamentaux de la Bible s’accordent avec notre enquête sur l’origine de l’univers ».[3] En se référant à sa propre investigation critique des « livres saints des grandes religions du monde », Hugh Ross a ceci à dire : « À l’exception de la Bible, mes soupçons ont été confirmés qu’ils étaient écrits du point de vue limité espace-temps des êtres humains et reflétaient la connaissance scientifique limitée et souvent incorrecte des époques où ils ont été écrits. Seule la Bible… a décrit avec précision… la nature anthropiquement ajustée de l’univers et du système solaire ».\u003Ca target=\"_blank\">[4]\u003C\u002Fa> Précisément les découvertes que l’on s’attendrait à faire dans le livre dans lequel Dieu a choisi de Se révéler.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La deuxième chose que nous pourrions attendre de cette révélation est qu’elle évalue clairement et franchement notre condition d’aliénation, puis qu’elle fournisse un moyen définitif de la surmonter. Selon Douglas Geivett, « La revendication doit incarner… une évaluation réaliste de la condition humaine et recommander un remède avec un pronostic plausible ».[5] Dans l’Évangile du Christ, nous découvrons « la nature précise de notre condition humaine telle que diagnostiquée avec un réalisme inégalé : nous nous sommes rebellés contre Dieu ».[6] Geivett trouve une impulsion positive dans la particularité des Écritures en ce qu’elles fournissent « un diagnostic précis de la condition humaine, ainsi qu’un remède satisfaisant, nous pouvons expliquer l’impulsion derrière les formes actuellement à la mode du pluralisme religieux en termes de propension humaine à se cacher du Dieu que nous avons offensé ».[7] Cela nous ramène à la Chute de l’humanité où Adam, ayant pris du fruit défendu, chercha à se cacher de Dieu. Il sentit cette aliénation et chercha à la corriger par lui-même.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La doctrine chrétienne de la Chute semble le mieux rendre compte de la condition humaine. Le « pourquoi » de notre conscience intuitive que nous ne sommes pas ce que nous sommes censés être et notre propension à faillir à garder la loi morale, peu importe combien nous essayons de le faire. Dieu, alors comme maintenant, a dû fixer les conditions d’une relation avec Lui-même. Les Écritures disent que Dieu fit des peaux d’animaux pour vêtir les humains aliénés.[8] L’adumbration du sacrifice est significative en ce que Dieu devait déclarer plus tard que « la vie est dans le sang »,[9] et que c’est seulement le sang qui permet l’expiation, ou « l’unité-avec », avec Dieu ; ce dont les humains ont besoin et cherchent.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La continuité du récit biblique est étonnante, car tout ce système sacrificiel était une préfiguration de la mort du Christ qui serait identifié comme « l’Agneau de Dieu qui ôte le péché du monde ».[10] Même dans le Nouveau Testament, nous trouvons le même message. « il n’y a pas de rémission des péchés ».[11]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>« Le péché » est la manière dont la Bible définit l’éloignement de l’homme par rapport à Dieu.&nbsp; Ce terme englobe notre incapacité à atteindre la norme morale que Dieu a établie, que ce soit par ignorance ou par présomption, et dont nous avons une conscience intuitive.&nbsp; Cette norme morale n’est pas tant constituée par Ses commandements que par Son propre caractère saint et juste.&nbsp; Les Écritures enseignent qu’aucun être humain ne peut atteindre la bonté requise pour être en relation avec Dieu, car, en définitive, la bonté exigée est Sa propre bonté morale.&nbsp; Le seul remède à cet éloignement se trouve dans l’effusion de sang, le don de la vie, d’un autre ; un sacrifice sans tache et sans péché.&nbsp; Cela s’accomplit dans la mort de Jésus-Christ, dans le sang duquel nous pouvons trouver le pardon de nos péchés et la restauration de notre relation avec Dieu.[12]&nbsp; Ce que la mort du Christ, en tant que consommation que tous les sacrifices de l’Ancien Testament préfiguraient, montre, c’est que Dieu prend le péché très au sérieux et ne peut cohabiter avec lui, mais aussi qu’Il nous aime et désire une relation avec nous au point d’y pourvoir.[13]&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Dans la croix, la justice sainte, qui ne peut tolérer le péché, et l’amour pardonnant, qui aspire à la relation, se rencontrent.&nbsp; Le Dieu de la Bible, qui « ne prend aucun plaisir dans la méchanceté, et le mal ne séjournera pas auprès de lui »[14], a évalué la condition humaine et l’a trouvée terriblement déficiente.[15] &nbsp;Il est un Dieu aux attentes et aux interdictions spécifiques.&nbsp; Il est le « Dieu au caractère déterminé » de Lewis.&nbsp; L’Écriture ne joue pas sur les mots, déclarant avec clarté qui est Dieu, ce que Dieu attend et ce qu’Il récompense – « l’Éternel est juste, et Il aime la justice, et les justes verront Sa face ». &nbsp;Pourtant, Son caractère saint n’est pas tel qu’Il ne puisse, par Son amour, fournir un moyen pour que les humains pécheurs soient unis à Lui.&nbsp; En Christ, les exigences justes de la loi de Dieu sont satisfaites au bénéfice de l’humanité pécheresse.[16]&nbsp; Crier dans la foi pour cette provision est le moyen du salut, c’est-à-dire le moyen d’être déclaré par Dieu aussi juste qu’Il l’exige pour que nous demeurions avec Lui.[17]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il est clair que l’un des indices les plus significatifs que ce soit le moyen prescrit par Dieu pour que nous trouvions la satisfaction spirituelle est que le message essentiel de toute la Bible est le même.&nbsp; Cela devient particulièrement remarquable lorsque l’on considère que le message de la Bible nous est parvenu par l’intermédiaire d’une quarantaine d’auteurs humains, vivant dans des cultures diverses et dans des statuts socio-économiques variés, et ayant écrit sur une période d’environ 1500 ans ; voir ce qu’ils ont écrit explique avec une grande continuité qui nous sommes, comment nous en sommes arrivés là, pourquoi nous ressentons cet éloignement, et ce que Dieu a arrangé pour notre restauration auprès de Lui.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il existe un autre critère substantiel par lequel nous pouvons confirmer une fois pour toutes la source de la révélation de Dieu à notre égard.&nbsp; Nous pourrions nous attendre à ce que Dieu confirme le moyen de Sa solution prescrite à notre éloignement par une intervention définitive dans l’histoire qui ne pourrait être interprétée autrement que comme l’œuvre de Dieu.&nbsp; Si Dieu est intervenu dans l’histoire de manière définitive, cela devrait apparemment inclure la vie et l’œuvre de Jésus-Christ.&nbsp; La raison en est que Jésus-Christ n’est pas seulement mort sur une croix sous Ponce Pilate, mais qu’Il est aussi ressuscité d’entre les morts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Des sources extra-bibliques peuvent confirmer que Jésus a vécu, qu’Il a enseigné et fait le bien, qu’Il a attiré de nombreux disciples, puis qu’Il a été crucifié.&nbsp; On peut également voir, à travers des sources extra-bibliques, que quelque chose a transformé Ses disciples en témoins audacieux qui étaient prêts à donner leur vie pour la croyance que leur maître, Jésus-Christ, était effectivement ressuscité d’entre les morts.[18]&nbsp;&nbsp; Lorsque l’on considère tous les éléments de l’une des affirmations les plus critiques du christianisme, à savoir que le Christ est ressuscité d’entre les morts, les preuves sont convaincantes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il y a un certain nombre de choses qu’il est presque impossible d’expliquer si la résurrection de Jésus n’a pas eu lieu.&nbsp; Premièrement Son tombeau vide, deuxièmement les témoins oculaires qui ont affirmé avoir vu Jésus après Sa mort, troisièmement l’évangélisation enthousiaste des disciples, quatrièmement les premiers écrits de l’Église chrétienne, et cinquièmement l’émergence et l’expansion rapides de l’Église primitive.[19]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le premier point concerne le \u003Cem>tombeau vide\u003C\u002Fem> du Christ.[20]\u003Cstrong>&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fstrong>Que s’est-il passé du corps du Christ ? Les suggestions avancées comme explications naturalistes à la résurrection ne sont pas convaincantes. L’idée selon laquelle les disciples auraient volé le corps pose problème lorsqu’on considère que tous les disciples ont maintenu cette affirmation et que personne n’a eu la conscience assez forte pour « dénoncer le complot ». De plus, si les disciples avaient eu connaissance de la conspiration, comment expliquer leur unanimité à proclamer l’Évangile de Jésus sous la menace de graves blessures corporelles, peut-être celles subies par leur maître, ou même la mort ? Une autre suggestion est que les autorités, romaines ou juives, auraient pris le corps. Cela défie toute explication, car elles voulaient empêcher que le corps soit enlevé et ont placé une garde romaine pour l’en empêcher. De plus, si elles avaient pris le corps, pour faire taire la proclamation des disciples selon laquelle Jésus était ressuscité des morts, il aurait suffi de produire le cadavre du Christ. Cela aurait immédiatement montré qu’ils étaient gravement égarés. Cela ne s’est pas produit. Certains ont suggéré que les disciples auraient halluciné que Jésus était ressuscité. Un problème avec cette idée est que les hallucinations ne sont pas collectives mais individuelles. Des centaines de témoins oculaires ont affirmé avoir vu le Christ ressuscité.[21] Peut-être que le Christ s’est simplement évanoui sur la croix et s’est ensuite réveillé dans la fraîcheur du tombeau. Si Jésus s’était simplement réveillé, il aurait encore eu toutes les marques de sa flagellation et aurait eu besoin de soins médicaux sérieux. Comment un homme ainsi meurtri et battu, ayant un tel besoin de soins, aurait-il pu inspirer ses disciples à aller proclamer de manière trompeuse, sous la menace de mort, qu’il était ressuscité dans la gloire et la puissance ? Enfin, il y a la suggestion que les femmes seraient allées au mauvais tombeau. Évidemment, même si cela avait été le cas, cette erreur aurait été rapidement corrigée, car il y avait d’autres témoins de l’enterrement. Les alternatives sont moins plausibles que l’affirmation du Nouveau Testament selon laquelle « Il est ressuscité, comme il l’avait dit ».[22]\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On peut alors objecter que les récits de la résurrection sont peu fiables, car ils constituaient une propagande religieuse destinée à élever le Jésus historique à un statut divin qu’il n’avait lui-même jamais voulu que quiconque croie. Le problème avec cette objection est que les documents du Nouveau Testament ont été démontrés comme des documents fiables ancrés dans l’histoire. Lorsque l’on considère des facteurs tels que les preuves manuscrites, à savoir que le Nouveau Testament possède le plus grand nombre de copies existantes par rapport aux autres écrits classiques, rendant ainsi la reconstitution beaucoup plus précise, même selon les normes de la recherche séculière, et que les écarts entre les manuscrits originaux et les copies sont faibles par rapport à toutes les autres œuvres classiques considérées comme fiables pour l’information historique. Ces deux facteurs ont conduit même un spécialiste critique du Nouveau Testament tel que John A. T. Robinson à conclure que le Nouveau Testament est « de loin le texte le mieux attesté de tous les écrits anciens du monde ».[23]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les \u003Cem>premiers écrits\u003C\u002Fem> du christianisme attestent de l’historicité de la résurrection du Christ, car ils attestent d’une tradition orale encore plus ancienne. Gary Habermas a montré qu’il existe de nombreux credo et traditions intégrés dans les textes du Nouveau Testament, en particulier certains écrits de Paul, qui précèdent en réalité les textes eux-mêmes.[24] Ces credo constituent un indice important pour découvrir ce que les premiers chrétiens croyaient et enseignaient concernant la personne de Jésus-Christ. Il devient rapidement évident qu’ils n’ont pas fabriqué un « Christ de la foi », car il n’y avait pas assez de temps pour développer de telles légendes et trop de témoins vivants pour permettre une déformation. Par les traditions orales, les enseignements apostoliques étaient mémorisés et transmis jusqu’à ce qu’ils soient consignés par écrit. Ces credo confirment l’Évangile du Christ. L’un d’eux semble se trouver dans 1 Corinthiens 15:1-4 où Paul fait référence spécifique à l’Évangile comme une tradition de credo qu’il avait apprise d’autres. Il écrit :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>1De plus, frères, je vous déclare l’Évangile que je vous ai annoncé, que vous avez aussi reçu, et dans lequel vous demeurez, 2par lequel aussi vous êtes sauvés, si vous retenez la parole que je vous ai annoncée, à moins que vous n’ayez cru en vain. 3Car je vous ai transmis en premier lieu ce que j’ai aussi reçu : que Christ est mort pour nos péchés selon les Écritures, 4qu’il a été enseveli, et qu’il est ressuscité le troisième jour selon les Écritures,[25]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cela nous indique que l’« Évangile », tel que l’expose Paul ici comme impliquant la mort, l’ensevelissement et la résurrection de Jésus, n’était pas son invention, mais plutôt quelque chose qu’il avait reçu comme un héritage de ceux qui étaient venus à la foi avant lui. Selon Habermas, « la majorité des chercheurs critiques remettent en question quelques-unes des épîtres qui portent le nom de Paul… Mais Romains, Corinthiens, Galates et Philippiens sont rarement remis en question, même par les sceptiques ».[26]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>1 Corinthiens et Romains sont deux des documents du Nouveau Testament les plus historiquement accrédités, écrits par Paul au début des années 50 et 60 après J.-C. La signification de la date est que le Christ est mort quelque part au début des années 30 après J.-C., donc Paul fait référence aux croyances parmi les chrétiens qui sont apparues peu après les événements réels de la mort et de la résurrection du Christ. C’est à peine assez de temps pour que des légendes sur le « Christ de la foi » se développent, surtout lorsque de multiples témoins oculaires des événements seraient encore en vie et sauraient si les événements étaient correctement rapportés.[27] Avec les événements historiques de la mort et de la résurrection, il y a les implications théologiques de ces événements. Le Christ est mort \u003Cem>pour nos péchés\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;selon les Écritures, et qu’il est ressuscité le troisième jour selon les Écritures », (la mention « selon les Écritures » faisant référence au fait que ces événements se sont produits en accomplissement des préfigurations de l’Ancien Testament).[28] Dans l’épître aux Romains, Paul parle de la résurrection comme de l’événement par lequel Jésus a été « déclaré Fils de Dieu avec puissance ».[29]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Une autre preuve que la résurrection s’est produite comme le relate le Nouveau Testament est la présence de&nbsp;\u003Cem>témoins oculaires\u003C\u002Fem>.&nbsp; Revenant à 1 Corinthiens, il est significatif que Paul, après avoir exposé l’« évangile » en termes de mort, d’ensevelissement et de résurrection du Christ, consacre davantage de temps à ses apparitions post-résurrection à des personnes précises.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>5et qu’il&nbsp;\u003Cem>a été vu\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;par Céphas, puis par les douze.&nbsp;6Ensuite&nbsp;\u003Cem>il a été vu\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;par plus de cinq cents frères à la fois, dont la plupart sont encore vivants aujourd’hui, mais quelques-uns se sont endormis.&nbsp;7Ensuite&nbsp;\u003Cem>il a été vu\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;par Jacques, puis par tous les apôtres.&nbsp;8Enfin, après tous,&nbsp;\u003Cem>il a été vu\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;aussi par moi, comme par un enfant né hors terme.[30]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il est évident que Paul voulait absolument démontrer que la résurrection avait eu lieu et qu’elle signifiait la vie éternelle pour tous ceux qui croiraient ensuite en Christ.&nbsp; C’est le fardeau évident de tout le chapitre lorsque Paul proclame,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>13Mais si les morts ne ressuscitent pas, alors Christ n’est pas ressuscité.&nbsp;14Et si Christ n’est pas ressuscité, notre prédication est vaine et votre foi est aussi vaine.&nbsp;15Oui, et nous sommes trouvés de faux témoins de Dieu, parce que nous avons rendu témoignage de Dieu qu’il a ressuscité Christ, qu’il n’a pas ressuscité – si du moins les morts ne ressuscitent pas.&nbsp;16Car si les morts ne ressuscitent pas, alors Christ n’est pas ressuscité.&nbsp;17Et si Christ n’est pas ressuscité, votre foi est vaine ; vous êtes encore dans vos péchés ! [31]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Paul comprenait l’importance critique de la résurrection pour toute la structure de la foi chrétienne et que, même à cette époque, des témoins oculaires devaient confirmer sa validité historique.&nbsp; Dire qu’il y avait plus de 500 personnes qui avaient vu le Christ ressuscité en même temps, puis affirmer que la plupart d’entre elles étaient encore vivantes pour en témoigner, constituait un énorme risque pour son intégrité et son ministère si ces événements ne s’étaient pas produits.&nbsp; L’un des points les plus significatifs concernant les témoins du Christ ressuscité concerne les femmes.&nbsp; C. Stephen Evans fait remarquer que « il est remarquable que les femmes aient été les premiers témoins de la résurrection ».[32].&nbsp; Pourquoi ce détail est-il si « remarquable » ?&nbsp; Il augmente en réalité la plausibilité des récits évangéliques sur la résurrection lorsqu’on considère la société patriarcale dans laquelle ce message a été présenté pour la première fois.&nbsp; Si les premiers chrétiens écrivaient vraiment de la propagande, pourquoi incluraient-ils quelque chose qui, dans cette culture centrée sur l’homme, n’aurait guère séduit le grand public ?&nbsp; Qui croirait le témoignage des femmes, et pourquoi les évangélistes risqueraient-ils le rejet immédiat des récits évangéliques en suggérant que les femmes furent les premières à voir et à annoncer la résurrection ?

Morrison, accablé par les preuves, déclare,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>« Quiconque aborde ce problème doit tôt ou tard affronter un fait qui ne peut être ni expliqué ni éliminé par aucun processus logique.&nbsp; Ce fait nous regarde obstinément en face comme la seule certitude concrète et inattaquable de la situation.&nbsp; Ce fait est que, . . . une conviction profonde est venue au petit groupe de personnes dont le comportement a changé – un changement qui atteste que Jésus est ressuscité du tombeau.[34]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ce changement, conclut Morison, semble s’expliquer au mieux par le fait que les disciples avaient vu le Christ ressuscité dans la gloire et la puissance et qu’ils avaient ainsi été enhardis à se tenir devant des adversaires autrefois redoutés et à mourir pour leur engagement que le Christ était bien ressuscité des morts.&nbsp; Ils ne craignaient pas les conséquences de cette position audacieuse parce que leur Maître leur avait promis : « Je suis la résurrection et la vie.&nbsp; Celui qui croit en moi, même s’il meurt, vivra, et quiconque vit et croit en moi ne mourra jamais ».[35]&nbsp; Ce thème est repris par l’apôtre Paul, qui déclare : « Car si nous croyons que Jésus est mort et ressuscité, de même Dieu ramènera avec lui ceux qui se sont endormis (sont morts) en Jésus ».[36]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Avec les mots « Dieu les amènera avec lui », nous revenons à la perspective et à la promesse d’une relation avec Dieu.&nbsp; Paul explique ensuite que dans la résurrection du Christ se trouve notre promesse de résurrection et qu’une fois celle-ci accomplie, « nous serons toujours avec le Seigneur ».[37]&nbsp; En Christ, et par sa résurrection, Dieu a historiquement visité des humains dont il se soucie et avec lesquels il désire une relation éternelle.&nbsp; Par la résurrection de Jésus, Dieu confirme tout ce que Jésus a jamais enseigné sur la condition humaine et sur son remède.&nbsp; Il a également confirmé les proclamations du Christ sur lui-même et sur son indispensabilité comme unique moyen d’obtenir une relation avec Dieu.[38]&nbsp; Les disciples y ont cru, et en raison de cette conviction concernant la résurrection, ils sont restés fermes sous la menace de mort en déclarant : « Il n’y a sous le ciel aucun autre nom donné parmi les hommes par lequel nous devions être sauvés ».[39]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conclusion :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Certains insisteront encore sur le fait qu’un Dieu d’amour n’exclurait pas les autres de ses bénédictions éternelles simplement parce qu’ils n’ont pas connu et confessé le Christ comme Sauveur.&nbsp; À cela, on pourrait répondre qu’un Dieu qui nous aime assez pour nous créer et nous soutenir veillerait également à nos besoins spirituels, et qu’on pourrait s’attendre à ce qu’il ne nous laisse pas seuls pour le découvrir, mais plutôt qu’il tranche à travers la confusion religieuse et spirituelle et fournisse, dans le temps et l’histoire, un message clair de délivrance, et confirme que son message a été prononcé une fois pour toutes par un signe très spécial et incontestable qu’il est bien derrière tout cela.&nbsp; Il ferait quelque chose de décisif et d’incontestable à ce sujet.&nbsp; La pertinence du message chrétien apparaît ici, car des preuves suffisantes indiquent qu’il a fait cela en personne d’autre que Jésus.&nbsp; Ainsi, nous pouvons proclamer avec confiance, avec l’Apôtre : « Il y a vraiment un seul médiateur entre Dieu et les hommes, le Christ Jésus ».[40]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Lewis raconte comment lui, avant de devenir chrétien, était si réticent à « passer de la notion d’une divinité abstraite… au Dieu vivant ».[41]&nbsp;&nbsp; « Je ne m’étonne pas », remarque-t-il, « que ce soit précisément le point où tant de gens reculent – j’aurais fait de même si j’avais pu et n’aurais pas poursuivi plus loin avec le christianisme.&nbsp; Un “Dieu impersonnel” – très bien.&nbsp; Un Dieu subjectif de beauté, de vérité et de bonté, à l’intérieur de nos propres têtes – encore mieux.&nbsp; Une force vitale sans forme qui nous traverse, un vaste pouvoir que nous pouvons exploiter – le meilleur de tout.&nbsp; Mais Dieu lui-même, vivant, tirant à l’autre bout de la corde, peut-être s’approchant à une vitesse infinie, le chasseur, le roi, l’époux – voilà tout à fait une autre affaire ».[42]&nbsp; « Vient un moment où les gens qui ont flirté avec la religion (“La recherche de Dieu par l’homme !”) reculent soudainement.&nbsp; Et si nous le trouvions vraiment ?&nbsp; Nous n’avions jamais voulu que cela en arrive là !&nbsp; Pire encore, et s’il nous avait trouvés ?

이 용어는 우리가 하나님께서 정하신 도덕적 기준에 미치지 못하는 실패를 포괄하며, 이는 무지나 자만으로 인해 발생하며, 우리가 직관적으로 인식하는 것입니다. 이 도덕적 기준은 사실 그분의 계명이라기보다는 그분의 거룩하고 의로우신 성품입니다.&nbsp; 성경은 인간이 하나님과의 관계를 맺기 위해 요구되는 선함을 이룰 수 없다고 가르치는데, 궁극적으로 요구되는 선함은 그분 자신의 도덕적 선함이기 때문입니다.&nbsp; 이 소외에 대한 유일한 해결책은 피를 흘리는 것, 즉 다른 이의 생명을 내어주는 것, 즉 흠 없고 죄 없는 희생에서 발견됩니다.&nbsp; 이는 예수 그리스도의 죽음에서 성취되었으며, 그분의 피 안에서 우리는 죄의 용서와 하나님과의 관계 회복을 찾을 수 있습니다.[12]&nbsp; 구약의 모든 희생 제사가 예표한 완성으로서 그리스도의 죽음이 보여주는 것은, 하나님이 죄를 매우 심각하게 여기시며 죄와 함께 거하실 수 없으시지만, 또한 우리를 사랑하시고 우리와의 관계를 원하셔서 이를 위한 방편을 마련하셨다는 것입니다.[13]&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;십자가에서 죄를 용납할 수 없는 거룩한 공의와 관계를 갈망하는 용서의 사랑이 만납니다.&nbsp; “악을 기뻐하지 아니하시며 악이 주와 함께 거하지 못하는”[14] 성경의 하나님은 인간의 상태를 평가하시고 그것이 심히 부족함을 발견하셨습니다.[15] &nbsp;그분은 구체적인 기대와 금령을 가지신 하나님이십니다.&nbsp; 그분은 루이스가 말한 “결정적인 성품을 지니신 하나님”이십니다.&nbsp; 성경은 하나님께서 누구이시며, 무엇을 기대하시며, 무엇을 보상하시는지를 명확히 선언하며 말장난을 하지 않습니다 – “여호와는 의로우시니 의를 사랑하시고 정직한 자는 그의 얼굴을 보리로다.” 그러나 그분의 거룩한 성품은 사랑을 통해 죄 많은 인간이 그분과 하나가 될 길을 마련하지 못할 정도로 엄격하지 않습니다.&nbsp; 그리스도 안에서 하나님의 율법의 의로운 요구가 죄 많은 인류를 대신하여 충족됩니다.[16]&nbsp; 이 방편을 믿음으로 부르짖는 것이 구원의 수단, 즉 하나님이 우리와 함께 거하시기 위해 요구하시는 의로움으로 선언되는 수단입니다.[17]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>분명히, 이것이 우리의 영적 만족을 찾는 하나님의 규정된 수단이라는 가장 중요한 지표 중 하나는 성경 전체의 본질적인 메시지가 동일하다는 것입니다.&nbsp; 이는 성경의 메시지가 약 40명의 인간 저자들을 통해 우리에게 전해졌다는 점을 고려할 때 특히 주목할 만한데, 그들은 다양한 문화와 사회경제적 지위 속에서 살았으며 약 1500년 동안 글을 썼고, 그들이 쓴 내용을 보면 우리가 누구인지, 어떻게 여기까지 왔는지, 왜 이런 소외감을 느끼는지, 그리고 하나님께서 우리를 자신에게 회복시키기 위해 마련하신 것이 무엇인지를 매우 연속적으로 설명합니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>하나님의 계시의 근원을 한 번에 확인할 수 있는 또 다른 실질적인 기준이 있습니다.&nbsp; 우리는 하나님이 우리의 소외에 대한 규정된 해결책의 수단을 역사 속에서 결정적인 개입으로 확인해 주시기를 기대할 수 있을 것입니다. 이는 하나님의 역사하심으로밖에 해석될 수 없는 것입니다.&nbsp; 만약 하나님이 역사 속에서 결정적인 방식으로 움직이셨다면, 그것은 예수 그리스도의 생애와 사역을 포함해야 할 것입니다.&nbsp; 그 이유는 예수 그리스도께서 본디오 빌라도 아래에서 십자가에 못 박혀 죽으셨을 뿐만 아니라 죽은 자 가운데서 살아나셨기 때문입니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>성경 외의 자료들을 통해 예수께서 사셨고, 가르치며 선을 행하시고, 많은 제자들을 끌어모으셨으며, 결국 십자가에 못 박히셨다는 것이 확인될 수 있습니다.&nbsp; 또한 성경 외의 자료들을 통해 그분의 제자들이 담대한 증인으로 변화되어, 그들의 주 예수 그리스도께서 실제로 죽은 자 가운데서 살아나셨다는 믿음을 위해 기꺼이 목숨을 바칠 준비가 되어 있었다는 것을 알 수 있습니다.[18]&nbsp;&nbsp; 기독교의 가장 중요한 주장 중 하나인, 즉 그리스도께서 죽은 자 가운데서 살아나셨다는 주장을 고려할 때, 그 증거는 설득력이 있습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>예수님의 부활이 일어나지 않았다면 설명하기 거의 불가능한 여러 가지 사실들이 있습니다.&nbsp; 첫째는 빈 무덤, 둘째는 예수님의 죽음 이후에 예수님을 보았다고 주장하는 목격자들, 셋째는 제자들의 열정적인 전도, 넷째는 초기 기독교 교회의 초기 저술들, 그리고 다섯째는 초기 교회의 급속한 출현과 확장입니다.[19]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>첫 번째 요점은 그리스도의&nbsp;\u003Cem>빈 무덤[20]\u003Cstrong>&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fem>을 다룹니다.그리스도의 몸은 어떻게 되었는가?&nbsp; 부활에 대한 자연주의적 설명으로 제시된 제안들은 설득력이 없다.&nbsp; 제자들이 시체를 훔쳐갔다는 주장은, 모든 제자가 그 주장을 끝까지 고수했고, 누구도 양심의 가책으로 “내부 고발”을 하지 않았다는 점에서 문제가 있다.&nbsp; 게다가 제자들이 음모를 알고 있었다면, 그들이 주님이 당한 것과 같은 심한 신체적 고통이나 심지어 죽음의 위협 속에서도 예수 복음을 일치단결하여 선포한 이유는 무엇으로 설명할 수 있겠는가?&nbsp; 또 다른 제안은 로마나 유대 당국이 시체를 가져갔을 것이라는 것이다.&nbsp; 이는 설명이 되지 않는다. 왜냐하면 그들은 시체가 제거되는 것을 막기 위해 로마 경비병을 배치했기 때문이다.&nbsp; 더 나아가, 그들이 시체를 가져갔다면, 제자들의 “예수가 죽은 자 가운데서 살아나셨다”는 선포를 잠재우기 위해서는 그리스도의 시신을 제시하기만 하면 된다.&nbsp; 그렇게 하면 제자들이 크게 잘못되었다는 것이 즉각 분명해졌을 것이다.&nbsp; 그러나 그런 일은 일어나지 않았다.&nbsp; 어떤 이들은 제자들이 예수가 부활했다고 환각을 일으켰다고 주장한다.&nbsp; 이 주장의 문제는 환각은 집단적 현상이 아니라 개인적 현상이라는 점이다.&nbsp; 수백 명의 목격자들이 부활하신 그리스도를 보았다고 증언하였다.[21]&nbsp; 어쩌면 그리스도가 십자가에서 기절했다가 무덤의 서늘함 속에서 깨어났을 수도 있다. 만약 예수가 단순히 기절했다가 깨어났다면, 그는 여전히 채찍질의 흔적을 모두 지니고 있었을 것이며, 심각한 의료 처치가 필요했을 것이다. 그렇게 멍들고 상처 입은, 치료가 절실한 사람이 어떻게 제자들로 하여금 영광과 권능으로 부활했다고 거짓 선포하게 하여, 죽음의 위협 속에서도 그 일을 감행하게 했겠는가? 마지막으로, 여인들이 잘못된 무덤에 갔다는 제안이 있다.&nbsp; 설령 그랬다 하더라도, 이 오류는 다른 증인들이 매장을 목격했기 때문에 곧바로 바로잡혔을 것이다. 이 대안들은 신약성경이 “그분은 살아나셨다. 그분이 말씀하신 대로”[22]라고 주장하는 것보다 설득력이 떨어진다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>그렇다면 부활 기록이 신뢰할 수 없다고 반론할 수 있다. 왜냐하면 그것들은 역사적 예수를 그분이 의도하지도 않은 신적 지위로 끌어올리려는 종교적 선전이었기 때문이라는 것이다.&nbsp; 이 반론의 문제는 신약성경 기록이 역사에 뿌리를 둔 신뢰할 수 있는 문서로 입증되었다는 점이다.&nbsp; 필사본 증거와 같은 요소를 고려할 때, 즉 신약성경은 다른 고전 저작들에 비해 현존하는 사본의 수가 가장 많아 세속 학문의 기준으로도 훨씬 더 정확한 복원이 가능하며, 원본과 사본 사이의 시간 간격이 다른 모든 신뢰할 수 있는 고전 작품들에 비해 작다는 점이다.&nbsp; 이 두 가지 요소는 비판적 신약학자 존 A.

Stephen Evans는 “여자들이 부활의 첫 증인이었다는 점이 주목할 만하다”고 언급한다.[32] 왜 그렇게 “주목할 만한가?” 실제로 이 메시지가 처음 전해진 가부장적 사회를 고려할 때, 이는 복음서 기록의 부활에 대한 신빙성을 높인다. 초기 기독교인들이 정말로 선전물을 작성하고 있었다면, 이 남성 중심 문화에서 많은 사람들에게 전혀 매력적이지 않을 내용을 왜 포함시켰겠는가? 누가 여자들의 증언을 믿겠으며, 복음서 저자들이 여자들이 부활을 처음 보고 보고했다고 제안함으로써 복음 기록이 즉각 거부될 위험을 감수하려 했겠는가? 이는 대중의 관심을 끌어 설득하려는 선전의 목표나 수단과 맞지 않는다. 유일한 논리적 결론은 그들이 사실 그대로를 기록했다는 것이다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>마지막으로, 제자들의 \u003Cem>열정\u003C\u002Fem>과 초기 교회의 \u003Cem>출현과 확장\u003C\u002Fem>을 살펴볼 것이다. 정치적·종교적 역경은 그리스도의 추종자들과 그의 이름을 딴 운동에 불리했다. 이러한 역경을 고려할 때, 회의론자와 신자 모두의 주의를 끌어야 할 가장 중요한 요소 중 하나는, 그리스도의 십자가 처형 이후 낙담하고 두려워하던 제자 무리가, 신체적 위해와 심지어 죽음의 위협 속에서도 부활을 담대하고 열정적으로 전파하는 무리로 변화된 것이다. 그리스도의 제자들은 당국자들 앞에서 “우리는 사람보다 하나님께 순종해야 한다”고 말할 것이다.[33] 영국의 저널리스트 프랭크 모리슨은 기독교를 사기로 밝혀내기 위해 착수했으나, 사실을 조사한 후 “상황의 압도적인 힘에 의해” 오히려 그리스도가 죽음에서 살아나셨음을 보여주는 글을 쓰게 되었다. 모리슨은 증거에 압도되어 다음과 같이 말한다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“누구든지 이 문제에 접근하는 사람은 조만간 어떤 논리적 과정으로도 설명하거나 제거할 수 없는 사실과 마주하게 된다. 그것은 상황의 유일한 구체적이고 반박할 수 없는 확실성으로서 우리를 끊임없이 바라본다. 그 사실은 …… 행동이 변화된 소수의 사람들에게 깊은 확신이 생겼다는 것이다. 이는 예수께서 무덤에서 살아나셨다는 사실을 증언하는 변화이다.[34]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>모리슨은 이 변화가 제자들이 영광과 권능 가운데 살아난 그리스도를 보았고, 그리하여 한때 두려워하던 적대자들 앞에 서서 그리스도가 죽음에서 살아나셨다는 헌신을 위해 죽을 수 있도록 담대해졌다는 사실로 가장 잘 설명된다고 결론짓는다. 그들은 이 담대한 입장의 결과를 두려워하지 않았는데, 이는 그들의 주께서 “나는 부활이요 생명이니 나를 믿는 자는 죽어도 살겠고 무릇 살아서 나를 믿는 자는 영원히 죽지 아니하리라”고 약속하셨기 때문이다.[35] 이 주제는 사도 바울이 “우리가 예수께서 죽었다가 다시 살아나신 것을 믿으면, 예수 안에서 잠든 자들도 하나님께서 그와 함께 데려오실 것이다”라고 선언하며 이어진다.[36]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“하나님께서 그와 함께 데려오실 것입니다”라는 말씀으로 우리는 하나님과의 관계에 대한 전망과 약속으로 돌아가게 됩니다.&nbsp; 바울은 더 나아가 그리스도의 부활이 우리의 부활에 대한 약속이며, 이 일이 일어나면 “우리가 항상 주와 함께 있게 될 것”이라고 설명합니다.[37]&nbsp; 그리스도 안에서, 그리고 그의 부활을 통해 하나님은 자신이 돌보시는 인간들을 역사적으로 찾아오셨으며, 그들과 영원한 관계를 맺기를 원하십니다.&nbsp; 예수님의 부활을 통해 하나님은 인간의 곤경과 그 해결책에 관해 예수님이 가르치신 모든 것을 확증하셨습니다.&nbsp; 또한 하나님은 그리스도께서 자신에 대해 선포하신 내용과, 하나님과의 관계를 얻는 유일한 길로서의 그리스도의 필수성을 확증하셨습니다.[38]&nbsp; 제자들은 이를 믿었고, 부활에 대한 이러한 확신 때문에 죽음의 위협 속에서도 굳건히 서서 “사람들에게 주신 이름 중에 우리가 구원을 얻어야 할 다른 이름이 하늘 아래에는 없다”고 선언했습니다.[39]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>결론:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>어떤 이들은 사랑의 하나님이 그리스도를 알지 못하고 고백하지 않았다는 이유만으로 다른 사람들을 영원한 축복에서 배제하지는 않을 것이라고 여전히 주장할 것입니다.&nbsp; 이에 대해, 우리를 창조하시고 지탱해 주실 만큼 우리를 사랑하시는 하나님이 우리의 영적 필요도 돌보시며, 우리를 혼자 내버려두어 그분을 알아가게 하지 않으시고, 종교적·영적 혼란을 뚫고 구원의 분명한 메시지를 시간과 역사 속에 주시며, 그분의 메시지가 특별하고 확실한 표적으로 한 번에 영원히 선포되었음을 확증하실 것이라고 답할 수 있습니다.&nbsp; 하나님은 결정적이고 명확한 방식으로 행동하실 것입니다.&nbsp; 기독교 메시지의 타당성은 바로 여기에 있습니다. 충분한 증거가 그분이 오직 예수님 안에서만 그렇게 하셨음을 가리키기 때문입니다.&nbsp; 따라서 우리는 사도와 함께 “하나님과 사람 사이의 유일한 중보자는 오직 한 분, 곧 사람이신 그리스도 예수”라고 확신 있게 선포할 수 있습니다.[40]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 루이스는 기독교인이 되기 전에 “추상적이고… 신이라는 개념에서 살아 계신 하나님으로 넘어가는 것”을 매우 꺼려했다고 이야기합니다.[41]&nbsp;&nbsp; “그렇게 놀랄 일도 아닙니다,”라고 그는 말합니다. “바로 이 점에서 많은 사람들이 물러섭니다. 나 역시 할 수만 있다면 그렇게 했을 것이고, 기독교를 더 이상 따르지 않았을 것입니다.&nbsp; ‘비인격적인 신’—그것으로 충분합니다.&nbsp; 우리 머릿속에 있는 아름다움, 진리, 선의 주관적인 신—더 좋습니다.&nbsp; 우리를 관통하며 솟아오르는 형태 없는 생명력, 우리가 이용할 수 있는 거대한 힘—최고입니다.&nbsp; 그러나 하나님 자신, 살아 계셔서 줄 반대편에서 당기시며, 어쩌면 무한한 속도로 다가오시는, 사냥꾼이시며 왕이시며 남편이신 그분—그것은 전혀 다른 문제입니다.”[42]&nbsp; “종교를 건드려 본 사람들(‘인간의 하나님 찾기!’)이 갑자기 물러서는 순간이 옵니다.&nbsp; 우리가 정말로 그분을 발견한다면 어떨까요?&nbsp; 우리는 결코 그런 결말을 의도한 적이 없습니다!&nbsp; 더 나쁜 것은, 그분이 우리를 발견하셨다면 어떨까요?”[43]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[1] 이사야 45:18\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[2] 느헤미야 9:6\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[3] Geivett,&nbsp;\u003Cem>Is Jesus the Only Way\u003C\u002Fem>?, p. 195.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[4]&nbsp;Ross, Why I Believe in the Miracle of Divine Creation, p. 126.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[5]&nbsp;Geivett, p. 195.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[6]&nbsp;Ibid.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[7] Ibid.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[8]&nbsp;창세기 3:21\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[9]&nbsp;레위기 17:11\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[10] 요한복음 1:29\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[11]&nbsp;히브리서 9:22\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[12]&nbsp;에베소서 1:7, 골로새서 1:14, 요한계시록 1:5\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[13] 로마서 5:6-11\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[14] 시편 5:4\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[15] 시편 14:2-3, 로마서 3:9-20\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[16] 로마서 8:4, 10:4; 고린도후서 5:21\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[17] 로마서 10:9-10\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[18] Edwin M.

Pascal’s Wager is the most famous part of his collection of notes known as the Pensées. With the Wager, Pascal attempted to provide a compelling reason to believe in God based upon happiness and possible outcomes.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Understanding Pascal’s Wager is easiest when we first look at other Christian arguments. Almost all of the various arguments used by the Christian Church can be divided into two categories. The first category seeks to demonstrate that belief in the existence of God is reasonable, while the second provides reasons to accept specific beliefs of the Christian faith. Pascal explained that the Wager is designed to “incite to the search after God,” so the Wager belongs to the first group. However, Pascal’s Wager is different from nearly all the other arguments for God’s existence in one key respect. While most arguments for the existence of God use evidence and reason to prove the truth of God’s existence, Pascal believed that God’s existence can’t be known without Scripture. He wrote that “if there is a God, He is infinitely incomprehensible . . . . We are then incapable of knowing either what He is or if He is,” and that “reason can decide nothing here. There is an infinite chaos which separated us . . . . According to reason, you can do neither the one thing nor the other; according to reason, you can defend neither of the propositions.” Clearly, Pascal did not encourage belief based on evidence for the existence of God. Instead, he focused on the benefits of belief.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pascal began his Wager by questioning the real existence of God. According to Pascal, if we don’t trust what the Bible says about God, then God’s existence is like a coin toss. There are only two possibilities: either God exists or He does not. Next, Pascal noted that there were two personal beliefs we could have about God: We can believe that God exists, or that He does not. When Pascal combined the issues of God’s real existence and our personal belief, he determined that there were only four possible outcomes. We might believe that God exists, when in fact He does. We can believe that God exists, even though He does not. Or we could believe that God does not exist, and that belief may be either true or false. Pascal claimed that the choice is unavoidable. If we ignore the question, we essentially choose unbelief. So given these four possibilities, how should we decide what to believe? Pascal wrote that we should choose according to our reason and our happiness. But as previously mentioned, reason cannot aid us in making this decision. This leads us to the heart of Pascal’s Wager: we must base our belief upon our happiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>How will our happiness be affected if we wager that God exists? Pascal argued that we will either gain an unlimited amount of happiness or, at worse, lose nothing. “Let us weigh the gain and the loss in wagering that God is. Let us estimate these two chances. If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation that He is.” If we believe in God and God does exist, then the promise of Heaven and eternal life, the Good News of the Gospel, will really be given to us. Furthermore, nothing worthwhile is lost if our faith turns out to be false. Pascal believed that the joy of living a life according to the Bible’s moral teachings was far greater than the pleasures that sin sometimes seems to provide. “You will be faithful, honest, humble, grateful, generous, a sincere friend, truthful. Certainly you will not have those poisonous pleasures, glory and luxury; but will you not have others? I will tell you that you will thereby gain in this life . . . that you will at last recognize that you have wagered for something certain and infinite, for which you have given nothing.” If Pascal is right about this, then we gain more happiness (and therefore “win the bet”) by believing in God, even if He doesn’t actually exist!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On the other hand, if we wager that God does not exist, we gain nothing. Pascal did write about Hell (the punishment for unbelief) shortly after discussing the Wager, and it is easy to see how the threat of Hell could help convince someone to bet that God does exist. But Pascal’s Wager doesn’t consider the punishment for unbelief. Pascal was concerned only with happiness and the possible positive outcomes of the wager. Everyone has only one life – a limited amount of time in which we can gain a limited amount of happiness. If we believe in God, we’ll be happier, and there’s the chance that unlimited happiness will be gained. So it seems that the rational choice is to believe that God does exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003Ctable>\u003Ctbody>\u003Ctr>\u003Ctd colspan=\"3\">\u003Cp>Pascal’s Wager\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003C\u002Ftr>\u003Ctr>\u003Ctd>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003Ctd>\u003Cp>I Believe\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003Ctd>\u003Cp>I Do Not Believe\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003C\u002Ftr>\u003Ctr>\u003Ctd>\u003Cp>God Exists\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003Ctd>\u003Cp>Unlimited, Eternal Happiness\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003Ctd>\u003Cp>No Happiness Gained\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003C\u002Ftr>\u003Ctr>\u003Ctd>\u003Cp>God Does Not Exist\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003Ctd>\u003Cp>Limited Happiness Gained\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003Ctd>\u003Cp>No Happiness Gained\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003C\u002Ftr>\u003C\u002Ftbody>\u003C\u002Ftable>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>While Pascal’s Wager is intriguing, there are serious difficulties with several key elements of the argument. For example, Scripture rejects Pascal’s claim that reason cannot help us decide the issue of God’s existence. Paul wrote in Rom. 1:19-20 that “what can be known about God is plain to [everyone], because God has shown it to them. For His invisible attributes, namely, His eternal power and Divine Nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made.” When medieval philosopher Thomas Aquinas commented on this verse, he explained that “when an effect is better known to us than its cause, from the effect we proceed to the knowledge of the cause . . . . Hence the existence of God, in so far as it is not self-evident to us, can be demonstrated from those of His effects which are known to us.” In other words, the very world itself, which has been created by God, is full of evidence for God’s existence. We can use reason to examine the world around us and realize that it must have come from a Divine Creator. Furthermore, Jesus proclaimed Himself “The Way, the Truth, and the Life,” (John 14:6) and His disciples argued for the Gospel with evidence and reason to demonstrate that it is true, not merely that it will be good if it is true (e.g., Acts 17:2-3, 1 Peter 3:15, Eph. 4:11-16). This suggests that evidence and reason is not only possible, but critical, to argue for both God’s existence and the Christian faith.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Also, Pascal is wrong when he claims that once someone believes in God, they will have eternal life and unlimited happiness. James 2:19 explains that belief in God is not proof of salvation and a right relationship with Him. “You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe – and shudder!” The “workers of lawlessness” in Matt. 7:7 and the Pharisees of Matt. 23:27 that “are like whitewashed tombs” believed in God, but they were condemned and rejected by Jesus. Many religions today accept the existence of God, and many otherwise irreligious people believe that God exists. But Scripture is clear that eternal life only comes by believing in Jesus Christ and accepting the free gift of salvation that comes from His death and resurrection (John 3:16, 11:25, Phil. 3:9-11). So according to the Bible, while we must accept that God exists in order to receive eternal life, it is not the only thing we need to believe.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, the central idea of Pascal’s Wager is an important truth. Pascal is right to highlight the happiness that comes with a relationship with the one true God. Like Pascal, the Bible frequently proclaims the joy that comes with being a child of God. For example, Paul writes in Phil. 4:7 that “the peace of God, which passes all understanding” is a part of the believer’s life. Christians are promised eternal life (John 3:36, 1 John 5:11-13) and freedom from the penalty of sin (Col. 2:13, Rom. 8:1). 1 John 3:1 tells the Christian to “see what kind of love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.” Indeed, John 3:16 and Romans 5:8 explain that God’s love for us is so great that, regardless of our sin and failures, He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on our behalf and provide us with the gift of eternal life.

La apuesta de Pascal es la parte m&aacute;s famosa de su colecci&oacute;n de notas conocida como Pens&eacute;es. Con la apuesta, Pascal intent&oacute; proporcionar una raz&oacute;n convincente para creer en Dios basada en la felicidad y los posibles resultados.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Comprender la apuesta de Pascal es m&aacute;s f&aacute;cil cuando miramos por primera vez otros argumentos cristianos. Casi todos los diversos argumentos utilizados por la Iglesia cristiana se pueden dividir en dos categor&iacute;as. La primera categor&iacute;a busca demostrar que la creencia en la existencia de Dios es razonable, mientras que la segunda proporciona razones para aceptar creencias espec&iacute;ficas de la fe cristiana. Pascal explic&oacute; que la apuesta est&aacute; dise&ntilde;ada para \"incitar a la b&uacute;squeda de Dios\", por lo que la apuesta pertenece al primer grupo. Sin embargo, la apuesta de Pascal es diferente de casi todos los otros argumentos para la existencia de Dios en un aspecto clave. Mientras que la mayor&iacute;a de los argumentos para la existencia de Dios usan evidencia y raz&oacute;n para probar la verdad de la existencia de Dios, Pascal cre&iacute;a que la existencia de Dios no puede ser conocida sin la Escritura. &Eacute;l escribi&oacute; que &ldquo;si hay un Dios, &Eacute;l es infinitamente incomprensible. . .. Entonces somos incapaces de saber qu&eacute; es &Eacute;l o si lo es \", y esa\" raz&oacute;n no puede decidir nada aqu&iacute;. Hay un caos infinito que nos separ&oacute;. . .. Seg&uacute;n la raz&oacute;n, no puedes hacer ni una cosa ni la otra; seg&uacute;n la raz&oacute;n, no puedes defender ninguna de las proposiciones.&rdquo; Claramente, Pascal no alent&oacute; la creencia basada en la evidencia de la existencia de Dios. En cambio, se centr&oacute; en los beneficios de la creencia.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Pascal comenz&oacute; su apuesta cuestionando la existencia real de Dios. Seg&uacute;n Pascal, si no confiamos en lo que la Biblia dice acerca de Dios, entonces la existencia de Dios es como un lanzamiento de moneda. Solo hay dos posibilidades: Dios existe o no. Luego, Pascal se&ntilde;al&oacute; que hab&iacute;a dos creencias personales que pod&iacute;amos tener sobre Dios: podemos creer que Dios existe o que &Eacute;l no. Cuando Pascal combin&oacute; los problemas de la existencia real de Dios y nuestra creencia personal, determin&oacute; que solo hab&iacute;a cuatro resultados posibles. Podr&iacute;amos creer que Dios existe, cuando en realidad lo hace. Podemos creer que Dios existe, aunque no exista. O podr&iacute;amos creer que Dios no existe, y que la creencia puede ser verdadera o falsa. Pascal afirm&oacute; que la elecci&oacute;n es inevitable. Si ignoramos la pregunta, esencialmente elegimos la incredulidad. Entonces, dadas estas cuatro posibilidades, &iquest;c&oacute;mo deber&iacute;amos decidir qu&eacute; creer? Pascal escribi&oacute; que debemos elegir de acuerdo con nuestra raz&oacute;n y nuestra felicidad. Pero como se mencion&oacute; anteriormente, la raz&oacute;n no puede ayudarnos a tomar esta decisi&oacute;n. Esto nos lleva al coraz&oacute;n de la apuesta de Pascal: debemos basar nuestra creencia en nuestra felicidad.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&iquest;C&oacute;mo se ver&aacute; afectada nuestra felicidad si apostamos a que Dios existe? Pascal argument&oacute; que obtendremos ya sea una cantidad ilimitada de felicidad o, en el peor de los casos, no perderemos nada. &ldquo;Consideremos la ganancia y la p&eacute;rdida en las apuestas que Dios es. Perm&iacute;tanos estimar estas dos oportunidades. Si ganas, ganas todo; si pierdes, no pierdes nada. Apuesta, entonces, sin dudar que &Eacute;l es.&rdquo; Si creemos en Dios y Dios existe, entonces la promesa del Cielo y la vida eterna, las Buenas Nuevas del Evangelio, realmente nos ser&aacute;n dadas. Adem&aacute;s, nada que valga la pena se pierde si nuestra fe resulta ser falsa. Pascal cre&iacute;a que la alegr&iacute;a de vivir una vida seg&uacute;n las ense&ntilde;anzas morales de la Biblia era mucho mayor que los placeres que el pecado a veces parece proporcionar. &ldquo;Ser&aacute;s fiel, honesto, humilde, agradecido, generoso, un amigo sincero, sincero. Ciertamente no tendr&aacute; esos placeres venenosos, gloria y lujo; &iquest;pero no vas a tener otros? Te dir&eacute; que as&iacute; ganar&aacute;s en esta vida. . . que finalmente reconocer&aacute;s que has apostado por algo cierto e infinito, por lo cual no has dado nada&rdquo;. Si Pascal tiene raz&oacute;n sobre esto, entonces ganamos m&aacute;s felicidad (y por lo tanto &ldquo;ganamos la apuesta&rdquo;) al creer en Dios, &iexcl;incluso si realmente no existe!\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Por otro lado, si apostamos a que Dios no existe, no ganamos nada. Pascal escribi&oacute; sobre el Infierno (el castigo por la incredulidad) poco despu&eacute;s de discutir la Apuesta, y es f&aacute;cil ver c&oacute;mo la amenaza del Infierno podr&iacute;a ayudar a convencer a alguien de apostar a que Dios existe. Pero la apuesta de Pascal no considera el castigo por la incredulidad. A Pascal solo le preocupaba la felicidad y los posibles resultados positivos de la apuesta. Todos tenemos una sola vida: una cantidad limitada de tiempo en la que podemos obtener una cantidad limitada de felicidad. Si creemos en Dios, seremos m&aacute;s felices, y existe la posibilidad de que se obtenga una felicidad ilimitada. Entonces parece que la elecci&oacute;n racional es creer que Dios existe.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>La apuesta de Pascal\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Creo o no creo\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Dios existe o Dios no existe\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Ilimitado, Eterna Felicidad O Sin Felicidad&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Si bien la apuesta de Pascal es intrigante, existen serias dificultades con varios elementos clave del argumento. Por ejemplo, las Escrituras rechazan la afirmaci&oacute;n de Pascal de que la raz&oacute;n no puede ayudarnos a decidir el tema de la existencia de Dios. Pablo escribi&oacute; en Rom. 1: 19-20 que &ldquo;lo que se puede saber acerca de Dios es claro para [todos], porque Dios se lo ha mostrado a ellos. Sus atributos invisibles, a saber, su poder eterno y su naturaleza divina, se han percibido claramente, desde la creaci&oacute;n del mundo, en las cosas que se han hecho \". Cuando el fil&oacute;sofo medieval Tom&aacute;s de Aquino coment&oacute; sobre este vers&iacute;culo, explic&oacute; que\" cuando conocemos un efecto mejor que su causa, desde el efecto procedemos al conocimiento de la causa. . . . Por lo tanto, la existencia de Dios, en la medida en que no es evidente para nosotros, puede demostrarse a partir de aquellos de Sus efectos que conocemos \". En otras palabras, el mundo mismo, que ha sido creado por Dios, Est&aacute; lleno de evidencia de la existencia de Dios. Podemos usar la raz&oacute;n para examinar el mundo que nos rodea y darnos cuenta de que debe haber venido de un Creador Divino. Adem&aacute;s, Jes&uacute;s se proclam&oacute; a s&iacute; mismo \"El camino, la verdad y la vida\" (Juan 14: 6) y sus disc&iacute;pulos abogaron por el Evangelio con evidencia y raz&oacute;n para demostrar que es verdad, no simplemente que ser&aacute; bueno si es cierto (por ejemplo, Hechos 17: 2-3, 1 Pedro 3:15, Ef. 4: 11-16). Esto sugiere que la evidencia y la raz&oacute;n no solo son posibles, sino cr&iacute;ticas, para defender tanto la existencia de Dios como la fe cristiana.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Adem&aacute;s, Pascal se equivoca cuando afirma que una vez que alguien crea en Dios, tendr&aacute; vida eterna y felicidad ilimitada. Santiago 2:19 explica que creer en Dios no es prueba de salvaci&oacute;n y una relaci&oacute;n correcta con &Eacute;l. &ldquo;Crees que Dios es uno; lo haces bien. &iexcl;Incluso los demonios creen, y se estremecen!&rdquo; Los trabajadores de la anarqu&iacute;a&rdquo; en Matt. 7: 7 y los fariseos de Matt. 23:27 que \"son como tumbas encaladas\" cre&iacute;an en Dios, pero fueron condenados y rechazados por Jes&uacute;s. Muchas religiones de hoy aceptan la existencia de Dios, y muchas personas irreligiosas creen que Dios existe. Pero la Escritura es clara en que la vida eterna solo viene creyendo en Jesucristo y aceptando el don gratuito de salvaci&oacute;n que viene de Su muerte y resurrecci&oacute;n (Juan 3:16, 11:25, Fil. 3: 9-11). Entonces, seg&uacute;n la Biblia, aunque debemos aceptar que Dios existe para recibir la vida eterna, no es lo &uacute;nico que debemos creer.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Sin embargo, la idea central de la apuesta de Pascal es una verdad importante. Pascal tiene raz&oacute;n al resaltar la felicidad que viene con una relaci&oacute;n con el &uacute;nico Dios verdadero. Al igual que Pascal, la Biblia frecuentemente proclama el gozo que viene de ser un hijo de Dios. Por ejemplo, Pablo escribe en Phil. 4: 7 que \"la paz de Dios, que sobrepasa todo entendimiento\" es parte de la vida del creyente. A los cristianos se les promete vida eterna (Juan 3:36, 1 Juan 5: 11-13) y libertad del castigo del pecado (Col. 2:13, Rom. 8: 1). 1 Juan 3: 1 le dice al cristiano que &ldquo;vea qu&eacute; clase de amor nos ha dado el Padre, para que seamos llamados hijos de Dios; y as&iacute; somos&rdquo;. De hecho, Juan 3:16 y Romanos 5: 8 explican que el amor de Dios por nosotros es tan grande que, independientemente de nuestros pecados y fallas, envi&oacute; a Su Hijo, Jesucristo, a morir en nuestro nombre y proveer nosotros con el don de la vida eterna. La felicidad ilimitada est&aacute; asegurada para el cristiano, que ha entrado en una relaci&oacute;n real con este Dios infinitamente amoroso.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>La apuesta de Pascal nos ayuda a revelarnos que el camino hacia la felicidad verdadera y plena comienza por reconocer la existencia de este Dios amoroso. Sin embargo, no podemos parar donde lo hace la apuesta de Pascal. Debemos ir m&aacute;s all&aacute; de la mera existencia de Dios. Debemos descubrir la naturaleza de Dios y los actos de salvaci&oacute;n de Dios, los cuales se unen en la persona de Jesucristo.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Los que deseen obtener m&aacute;s informaci&oacute;n sobre este tema deben consultar:\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>RECURSOS EN L&Iacute;NEA\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Blaise Pascal - Pens&eacute;es (http: \u002F\u002Fgutenberg\u002Ffiles\u002F18269\u002F18269-h\u002F18269-h.htm)\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Peter Kreeft - El argumento de la apuesta de Pascal (http:\u002F\u002Fwww.peterkreeft.com\u002Ftopics\u002Fpascals-wager.htm)\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Ted Wright - Otra mirada a la apuesta de Pascal (http:\u002F\u002Fcrossexamined.org\u002Feternity-has-the-floor-another-look-at-pascals-wager)\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>William Lane Craig - La apuesta de Pascal (http:\u002F\u002Fwww.reasonablefaith.org\u002Fpascals-wager)\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>RECURSOS IMPRESOS\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Norman Geisler - El gran libro de la apolog&eacute;tica cristiana&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>","\n\nPascal's Wager is an argument in philosophy presented by the seventeenth-century French philosopher, mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal (1623–1662).

Presque tous les divers arguments utilisés par l’Église chrétienne peuvent être divisés en deux catégories. La première catégorie cherche à démontrer que la croyance en l’existence de Dieu est raisonnable, tandis que la seconde fournit des raisons d’accepter les croyances spécifiques de la foi chrétienne. Pascal a expliqué que le pari est conçu pour « inciter à la recherche de Dieu », donc le pari appartient au premier groupe. Cependant, le pari de Pascal diffère de presque tous les autres arguments en faveur de l’existence de Dieu sur un point essentiel. Alors que la plupart des arguments en faveur de l’existence de Dieu utilisent des preuves et la raison pour prouver la vérité de l’existence de Dieu, Pascal croyait que l’existence de Dieu ne peut être connue sans l’Écriture. Il a écrit que « s’il y a un Dieu, Il est infiniment incompréhensible… Nous sommes donc incapables de savoir ni ce qu’Il est ni s’Il est », et que « la raison ne peut rien décider ici. Il y a un chaos infini qui nous sépare… Selon la raison, vous ne pouvez faire ni l’une ni l’autre chose ; selon la raison, vous ne pouvez défendre aucune des propositions. » Clairement, Pascal n’encourageait pas la croyance fondée sur des preuves de l’existence de Dieu. Au lieu de cela, il s’est concentré sur les avantages de la croyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pascal a commencé son pari en remettant en question l’existence réelle de Dieu. Selon Pascal, si nous ne faisons pas confiance à ce que la Bible dit de Dieu, alors l’existence de Dieu ressemble à un lancer de pièce. Il n’y a que deux possibilités : soit Dieu existe, soit Il n’existe pas. Ensuite, Pascal a noté qu’il y avait deux croyances personnelles que nous pouvions avoir sur Dieu : nous pouvons croire que Dieu existe, ou qu’Il n’existe pas. Lorsque Pascal a combiné les questions de l’existence réelle de Dieu et de notre croyance personnelle, il a déterminé qu’il n’y avait que quatre résultats possibles. Nous pourrions croire que Dieu existe, alors qu’en fait Il existe. Nous pouvons croire que Dieu existe, même s’Il n’existe pas. Ou nous pourrions croire que Dieu n’existe pas, et cette croyance peut être vraie ou fausse. Pascal a affirmé que le choix est inévitable. Si nous ignorons la question, nous choisissons essentiellement l’incroyance. Donc, étant donné ces quatre possibilités, comment devrions-nous décider ce qu’il faut croire ? Pascal a écrit que nous devrions choisir selon notre raison et notre bonheur. Mais comme mentionné précédemment, la raison ne peut pas nous aider à prendre cette décision. Cela nous amène au cœur du pari de Pascal : nous devons fonder notre croyance sur notre bonheur.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Comment notre bonheur sera-t-il affecté si nous parions que Dieu existe ? Pascal a soutenu que nous gagnerons soit une quantité illimitée de bonheur, soit, au pire, nous ne perdrons rien. « Pesons le gain et la perte en pariant que Dieu est. Estimons ces deux chances. Si vous gagnez, vous gagnez tout ; si vous perdez, vous ne perdez rien. Pariez donc sans hésitation qu’Il est. » Si nous croyons en Dieu et que Dieu existe, alors la promesse du Ciel et de la vie éternelle, la Bonne Nouvelle de l’Évangile, nous sera vraiment donnée. De plus, rien de valable n’est perdu si notre foi s’avère fausse. Pascal croyait que la joie de vivre une vie selon les enseignements moraux de la Bible était bien supérieure aux plaisirs que le péché semble parfois procurer. « Vous serez fidèle, honnête, humble, reconnaissant, généreux, un ami sincère, véridique. Certes, vous n’aurez pas ces plaisirs empoisonnés, la gloire et le luxe ; mais n’en aurez-vous pas d’autres ? Je vous dirai que vous gagnerez ainsi dans cette vie… que vous reconnaîtrez enfin que vous avez parié pour quelque chose de certain et d’infini, pour lequel vous n’avez rien donné. » Si Pascal a raison à ce sujet, alors nous gagnons plus de bonheur (et donc « gagnons le pari ») en croyant en Dieu, même s’Il n’existe pas réellement !\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En revanche, si nous parions que Dieu n’existe pas, nous ne gagnons rien. Pascal a écrit sur l’Enfer (la punition pour l’incroyance) peu après avoir discuté du pari, et il est facile de voir comment la menace de l’Enfer pourrait aider à convaincre quelqu’un de parier que Dieu existe. Mais le pari de Pascal ne considère pas la punition pour l’incroyance. Pascal ne s’intéressait qu’au bonheur et aux résultats positifs possibles du pari. Chacun n’a qu’une seule vie – une quantité limitée de temps dans laquelle nous pouvons gagner une quantité limitée de bonheur. Si nous croyons en Dieu, nous serons plus heureux, et il y a une chance que le bonheur illimité soit gagné. Il semble donc que le choix rationnel soit de croire que Dieu existe.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003Ctable>\u003Ctbody>\u003Ctr>\u003Ctd colspan=\"3\">\u003Cp>Le pari de Pascal\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003C\u002Ftr>\u003Ctr>\u003Ctd>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003Ctd>\u003Cp>Je crois\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003Ctd>\u003Cp>Je ne crois pas\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003C\u002Ftr>\u003Ctr>\u003Ctd>\u003Cp>Dieu existe\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003Ctd>\u003Cp>Bonheur illimité et éternel\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003Ctd>\u003Cp>Aucun bonheur gagné\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003C\u002Ftr>\u003Ctr>\u003Ctd>\u003Cp>Dieu n’existe pas\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003Ctd>\u003Cp>Bonheur limité gagné\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003Ctd>\u003Cp>Aucun bonheur gagné\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003C\u002Ftr>\u003C\u002Ftbody>\u003C\u002Ftable>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Bien que le pari de Pascal soit intrigant, il existe de sérieuses difficultés avec plusieurs éléments clés de l’argument. Par exemple, l’Écriture rejette l’affirmation de Pascal selon laquelle la raison ne peut nous aider à trancher la question de l’existence de Dieu. Paul a écrit dans Rom. 1:19-20 que « ce qu’on peut connaître de Dieu est manifeste pour [tous], car Dieu le leur a manifesté. En effet, les perfections invisibles de Dieu, sa puissance éternelle et sa divinité, se voient comme à l’œil, depuis la création du monde, quand on les considère dans ses ouvrages. » Lorsque le philosophe médiéval Thomas d’Aquin a commenté ce verset, il a expliqué que « lorsque l’effet nous est mieux connu que sa cause, nous passons de l’effet à la connaissance de la cause . . . . Ainsi l’existence de Dieu, en tant qu’elle n’est pas évidente pour nous, peut être démontrée à partir de ses effets qui nous sont connus. » En d’autres termes, le monde lui-même, qui a été créé par Dieu, est rempli de preuves de l’existence de Dieu. Nous pouvons utiliser la raison pour examiner le monde qui nous entoure et réaliser qu’il doit provenir d’un Créateur divin. De plus, Jésus s’est proclamé « le Chemin, la Vérité et la Vie » (Jean 14:6) et ses disciples ont défendu l’Évangile avec des preuves et la raison pour démontrer qu’il est vrai, et non simplement qu’il serait bon s’il était vrai (par ex. Actes 17:2-3, 1 Pierre 3:15, Éph. 4:11-16). Cela suggère que les preuves et la raison ne sont pas seulement possibles, mais essentielles pour argumenter à la fois en faveur de l’existence de Dieu et de la foi chrétienne.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>De plus, Pascal se trompe lorsqu’il affirme qu’une fois que quelqu’un croit en Dieu, il aura la vie éternelle et un bonheur illimité. Jacques 2:19 explique que la croyance en Dieu n’est pas une preuve du salut et d’une relation juste avec Lui. « Tu crois qu’il y a un seul Dieu, tu fais bien ; les démons le croient aussi, et ils tremblent ! » Les « ouvriers d’iniquité » de Matt. 7:7 et les pharisiens de Matt. 23:27 qui « sont comme des sépulcres blanchis » croyaient en Dieu, mais ils ont été condamnés et rejetés par Jésus. De nombreuses religions aujourd’hui acceptent l’existence de Dieu, et de nombreuses personnes par ailleurs non religieuses croient que Dieu existe. Mais l’Écriture est claire que la vie éternelle ne vient que par la foi en Jésus-Christ et l’acceptation du don gratuit du salut qui vient de sa mort et de sa résurrection (Jean 3:16, 11:25, Phil. 3:9-11). Ainsi, selon la Bible, bien que nous devions accepter que Dieu existe pour recevoir la vie éternelle, ce n’est pas la seule chose que nous devons croire.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cependant, l’idée centrale du pari de Pascal est une vérité importante. Pascal a raison de souligner le bonheur qui vient d’une relation avec le seul vrai Dieu. Comme Pascal, la Bible proclame fréquemment la joie qui vient d’être un enfant de Dieu. Par exemple, Paul écrit dans Phil. 4:7 que « la paix de Dieu, qui surpasse toute intelligence » fait partie de la vie du croyant. Les chrétiens se voient promettre la vie éternelle (Jean 3:36, 1 Jean 5:11-13) et la liberté de la peine du péché (Col. 2:13, Rom. 8:1). 1 Jean 3:1 dit au chrétien de « voir quel amour le Père nous a donné pour que nous soyons appelés enfants de Dieu ; et nous le sommes. » En effet, Jean 3:16 et Romains 5:8 expliquent que l’amour de Dieu pour nous est si grand que, malgré notre péché et nos échecs, Il a envoyé son Fils, Jésus-Christ, mourir pour nous et nous offrir le don de la vie éternelle. Un bonheur illimité est assuré au chrétien, qui est entré dans une véritable relation avec ce Dieu infiniment aimant.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le pari de Pascal nous aide à révéler que le chemin vers un vrai bonheur épanouissant commence par la reconnaissance de l’existence de ce Dieu aimant.

17세기 수학자이자 철학자인 블레즈 파스칼이 발전시킨 신의 존재에 대한 논증입니다. 파스칼의 내기는 그의 저서 《팡세》로 알려진 노트 모음집에서 가장 유명한 부분입니다. 파스칼은 이 내기를 통해 행복과 가능한 결과에 기반하여 신을 믿을 만한 설득력 있는 이유를 제시하려고 했습니다.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>파스칼의 내기를 이해하는 가장 쉬운 방법은 다른 기독교 논증들을 먼저 살펴보는 것입니다. 기독교회가 사용하는 다양한 논증들은 거의 모두 두 가지 범주로 나눌 수 있습니다. 첫 번째 범주는 신의 존재에 대한 믿음이 합리적이라는 것을 입증하려는 것이고, 두 번째 범주는 기독교 신앙의 특정한 믿음을 받아들일 이유를 제시하는 것입니다. 파스칼은 내기가 “신을 찾도록 자극하기” 위한 것이라고 설명했으므로, 내기는 첫 번째 범주에 속합니다. 그러나 파스칼의 내기는 신의 존재에 대한 다른 거의 모든 논증과 한 가지 중요한 점에서 다릅니다. 대부분의 신 존재 논증은 증거와 이성을 사용하여 신의 존재의 진리를 증명하는 반면, 파스칼은 성경 없이는 신의 존재를 알 수 없다고 믿었습니다. 그는 “만약 신이 계신다면, 그분은 무한히 이해할 수 없는 분이시다…… 그러므로 우리는 그분이 어떤 분이신지, 혹은 계신지조차 알 수 없다”고 썼으며, “이성으로는 여기서 아무것도 결정할 수 없다. 우리를 가르는 무한한 혼돈이 있다…… 이성에 따르면, 어느 쪽도 할 수 없다; 이성에 따르면, 어느 명제도 변호할 수 없다”고 했습니다. 분명히 파스칼은 신의 존재에 대한 증거에 기반한 믿음을 권장하지 않았습니다. 대신 그는 믿음의 이점에 초점을 맞췄습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>파스칼은 신의 실제 존재에 대해 의문을 제기함으로써 내기를 시작했습니다. 파스칼에 따르면, 우리가 성경이 신에 대해 말하는 것을 신뢰하지 않는다면, 신의 존재는 동전 던지기와 같습니다. 오직 두 가지 가능성만 있습니다: 신이 존재하거나 존재하지 않거나. 다음으로 파스칼은 신에 대해 우리가 가질 수 있는 두 가지 개인적 믿음이 있다고 지적했습니다: 우리는 신이 존재한다고 믿거나, 존재하지 않는다고 믿을 수 있습니다. 파스칼은 신의 실제 존재와 우리의 개인적 믿음의 문제를 결합했을 때, 오직 네 가지 가능한 결과만 있다고 결론지었습니다. 우리는 신이 존재한다고 믿을 수 있으며, 실제로 그분이 존재할 수도 있습니다. 우리는 신이 존재한다고 믿을 수 있지만, 실제로는 존재하지 않을 수도 있습니다. 또는 우리는 신이 존재하지 않는다고 믿을 수 있으며, 그 믿음은 참이거나 거짓일 수 있습니다. 파스칼은 이 선택이 불가피하다고 주장했습니다. 우리가 이 질문을 무시한다면, 우리는 본질적으로 불신을 선택하는 것입니다. 따라서 이 네 가지 가능성이 주어졌을 때, 우리는 무엇을 믿을지 어떻게 결정해야 할까요? 파스칼은 우리의 이성과 행복에 따라 선택해야 한다고 썼습니다. 그러나 앞서 언급했듯이, 이성은 이 결정을 내리는 데 도움을 줄 수 없습니다. 이것이 파스칼의 내기의 핵심으로 이어집니다: 우리는 우리의 행복에 기반하여 믿음을 가져야 합니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>우리가 신이 존재한다고 내기를 걸면 우리의 행복은 어떻게 영향을 받을까요? 파스칼은 우리가 무한한 양의 행복을 얻거나, 최악의 경우 아무것도 잃지 않을 것이라고 주장했습니다. “신이 계신다고 내기를 걸 때의 이득과 손실을 저울질해 보자. 이 두 가지 가능성을 추정해 보자. 만약 네가 이기면, 너는 모든 것을 얻는다; 만약 네가 지면, 너는 아무것도 잃지 않는다. 그러니 주저 없이 그분이 계신다고 내기를 걸라.” 만약 우리가 신을 믿고 신이 실제로 존재한다면, 천국과 영생의 약속, 복음의 기쁜 소식이 우리에게 실제로 주어질 것입니다. 또한, 우리의 믿음이 거짓으로 밝혀지더라도 가치 있는 것은 아무것도 잃지 않습니다. 파스칼은 성경의 도덕적 가르침에 따라 사는 삶의 기쁨이 죄가 때때로 제공하는 것처럼 보이는 쾌락보다 훨씬 크다고 믿었습니다. “너는 충실하고, 정직하며, 겸손하고, 감사하며, 관대하고, 진실한 친구가 될 것이며, 진실할 것이다. 확실히 너는 그 유독한 쾌락, 영광과 사치를 갖지 않을 것이다; 그러나 너는 다른 것들을 갖지 않겠는가? 나는 너에게 말하겠다, 너는 이 삶에서 얻을 것이며…… 마침내 네가 아무것도 주지 않고도 확실하고 무한한 것에 대해 내기를 걸었다는 것을 깨닫게 될 것이다.” 만약 파스칼이 이것에 대해 옳다면, 우리는 신이 실제로 존재하지 않더라도 신을 믿음으로써 더 많은 행복을 얻고(따라서 “내기에서 이긴다”)!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>반면에, 우리가 신이 존재하지 않는다고 내기를 걸면, 우리는 아무것도 얻지 못합니다. 파스칼은 내기에 대해 논의한 직후 지옥(불신에 대한 처벌)에 대해 썼으며, 지옥의 위협이 누군가가 신이 존재한다고 내기를 걸도록 설득하는 데 어떻게 도움이 될 수 있는지 쉽게 알 수 있습니다. 그러나 파스칼의 내기는 불신에 대한 처벌을 고려하지 않습니다. 파스칼은 오직 행복과 내기의 가능한 긍정적 결과에만 관심이 있었습니다. 모든 사람은 단 하나의 삶을 가지고 있습니다 – 우리가 제한된 양의 행복을 얻을 수 있는 제한된 시간입니다. 만약 우리가 신을 믿는다면, 우리는 더 행복해질 것이며, 무한한 행복을 얻을 기회가 있습니다. 따라서 신이 존재한다고 믿는 것이 합리적인 선택인 것 같습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003Ctable>\u003Ctbody>\u003Ctr>\u003Ctd

있습니다. 예를 들어, 성경은 이성으로는 하나님의 존재 문제를 결정할 수 없다는 파스칼의 주장을 거부합니다. 바울은 로마서 1:19-20에서 “하나님을 알 만한 것이 사람들에게 분명히 드러나 있습니다. 이는 하나님이 그들에게 보이셨기 때문입니다. 그의 보이지 않는 속성, 곧 그의 영원하신 능력과 신성(神性)은 세상이 창조된 때부터 그가 만드신 것들을 통하여 분명히 알 수 있습니다”라고 썼습니다. 중세 철학자 토마스 아퀴나스는 이 구절을 주석하면서 “결과가 원인보다 우리에게 더 잘 알려져 있을 때, 우리는 결과로부터 원인을 아는 데로 나아간다…… 그러므로 하나님의 존재는 우리에게 자명하지 않으므로, 우리에게 알려진 그의 결과로부터 증명될 수 있다”고 설명했습니다. 다시 말해, 하나님이 창조하신 바로 이 세상 자체가 하나님의 존재에 대한 증거로 가득 차 있다는 것입니다. 우리는 이성을 사용하여 우리 주변의 세상을 살펴보고, 그것이 반드시 신성한 창조주로부터 왔음을 깨달을 수 있습니다. 또한 예수님은 자신을 “길이요 진리요 생명”(요한복음 14:6)이라고 선포하셨고, 그의 제자들은 복음을 증거와 이성으로 변증하여 그것이 단지 참이라면 좋을 것이라는 것이 아니라 참이라는 것을 보여 주었습니다(예: 사도행전 17:2-3, 베드로전서 3:15, 에베소서 4:11-16). 이는 증거와 이성이 하나님의 존재와 기독교 신앙을 변증하는 데에 가능할 뿐만 아니라 필수적임을 시사합니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>또한 파스칼은 누군가 하나님을 믿으면 영생과 무한한 행복을 얻게 될 것이라고 주장하는데, 이는 잘못입니다. 야고보서 2:19은 하나님을 믿는 것이 구원과 그분과의 올바른 관계를 보증하지 않는다고 설명합니다. “하나님은 한 분이심을 당신은 믿습니다. 잘하는 일입니다. 그러나 귀신들도 믿으며 떱니다!” 마태복음 7:23의 “불법을 행하는 자들”과 마태복음 23:27의 “회칠한 무덤과 같다”는 바리새인들은 하나님을 믿었지만, 예수님께 정죄받고 거절당했습니다. 오늘날 많은 종교가 하나님의 존재를 받아들이고, 많은 비종교인들도 하나님의 존재를 믿습니다. 그러나 성경은 영생은 오직 예수 그리스도를 믿고 그의 죽음과 부활로부터 오는 구원의 은사를 받아들일 때에만 얻을 수 있다고 분명히 말합니다(요한복음 3:16, 11:25, 빌립보서 3:9-11). 그러므로 성경에 따르면, 영생을 받기 위해서는 하나님의 존재를 받아들여야 하지만, 그것이 유일하게 믿어야 할 것은 아닙니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>그러나 파스칼의 내기의 핵심 사상은 중요한 진리입니다. 파스칼은 참되신 한 분 하나님과의 관계에서 오는 행복을 강조한 점에서 옳습니다. 파스칼처럼, 성경은 하나님의 자녀가 됨으로써 오는 기쁨을 자주 선포합니다. 예를 들어, 바울은 빌립보서 4:7에서 “모든 지각에 뛰어난 하나님의 평강”이 신자의 삶의 일부라고 씁니다. 그리스도인들은 영생(요한복음 3:36, 요한일서 5:11-13)과 죄의 형벌로부터의 자유(골로새서 2:13, 로마서 8:1)를 약속받았습니다. 요한일서 3:1은 그리스도인에게 “아버지께서 어떠한 사랑을 우리에게 주셨는가 생각하라. 그것은 우리가 하나님의 자녀라 불리게 되었고, 실제로 그러하다는 것입니다”라고 말합니다. 실제로 요한복음 3:16과 로마서 5:8은 우리의 죄와 실패에도 불구하고, 하나님께서 우리를 향한 사랑이 너무나 커서 그의 아들 예수 그리스도를 보내어 우리 대신 죽게 하시고 우리에게 영생의 선물을 주셨다고 설명합니다. 무한한 행복은 이 무한히 사랑하시는 하나님과의 실제적인 관계에 들어온 그리스도인에게 보장됩니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>파스칼의 내기는 우리에게 참되고 충만한 행복으로 가는 길이 이 사랑하시는 하나님의 존재를 인정하는 데서 시작된다는 것을 보여 줍니다. 그러나 우리는 파스칼의 내기에서 멈출 수 없습니다. 우리는 단순한 하나님의 존재를 넘어 나아가야 합니다. 우리는 하나님의 본성과 하나님의 구원 행위를 밝혀내야 하며, 이 둘은 예수 그리스도의 인격 안에서 함께 드러납니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>이 주제에 대해 더 알고 싶으신 분들은 다음 자료를 참고하시기 바랍니다:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>온라인

There are many Bible verses that state that God is perfect. Psalm 18:30 says “This God—His way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; He is a shield for all those who take refuge in Him.” Moses writes in Deuteronomy 32:4 that “The Rock, His work is perfect, for all His ways are justice.” Jesus taught that God is perfect in the Sermon on the Mount—“You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Matthew 5:48). Since everything God does is perfect, He can’t make a mistake, because a mistake would be an imperfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Another reason that God can’t make mistakes is because He is all-knowing and all-powerful. The Bible tells us in many passages that God is all-knowing: “Great is our Lord, abundant in power; His understanding is beyond measure” (Psalm 147:5); “God is greater than our heart, and He knows everything” (1 John 3:20); “Oh, the depths of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and how inscrutable His ways!” (Romans 11:33); “And no creature is hidden from His sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of Him to whom we must give an account” (Hebrews 4:13). God is also all-powerful: “Great is our Lord, abundant in power” (Psalm 147:5); “Our God is in the heavens; He does all that He pleases” (Psalm 115:3); “The Lord is slow to anger and great in power” (Nahum 1:3). Paul writes that God “works all things according to the counsel of His will” (Ephesians 1:11). Jesus said “‘What is impossible with man is possible with God’” (Luke 18:27). These passages, and many others, show us that God is all-knowing and all-powerful. If God is all-knowing and all-powerful, then He can’t make mistakes. When someone makes a mistake, it is because he is either unaware of something (a current situation, something that will happen in the future, etc.) or unable to do something he wills. For example, a waiter makes a mistake when he tries to bring a tray of food out to hungry customers but drops the tray on the way. In this case, the waiter wanted to bring the food out but was unable to successfully balance the tray all the way to the table. But God clearly can’t fail to do something He wills, because He is all-powerful. He also can’t be unaware of something, because He is all-knowing. So, because God is all-knowing and all-powerful, He can’t make mistakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In addition to not being able to make mistakes, God can’t change His mind either. Numbers 23:19 says “God is not man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind.” God, speaking through Malachi, says “For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed” (Malachi 3:6). James writes, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change” (James 1:17). Hebrews 13:8 says of Jesus, who is God, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” So if God doesn’t change in any other way, then we can be sure He doesn’t change His mind either.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Another reason that God can’t change His mind is because His will is timeless, or eternal. The Bible teaches that God is eternal and everlasting, and that what He wills, He wills eternally. “The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms” (Deuteronomy 33:27). “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting You are God” (Psalm 90:2). Several verses in the New Testament make clear that God is eternal because He is the Creator of time: “but in these last days He has spoken to us by his Son, whom He appointed the heir of all things, through whom also He created the world [lit. the ages]” (Hebrews 1:2); “to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen” (Jude 25); “To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen” (1 Timothy 1:17). These passages in the Bible show that God created time and has sovereignty over it. Many verses in the Bible teach that God’s will is eternal: “This was according to the eternal purpose that He has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Ephesians 3:11); “I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done” (Isaiah 46:9-10); “I am the Lord. I have spoken; it shall come to pass; I will do it” (Ezekiel 24:14). Because God is eternal, everything that He wills must have been willed from eternity past. If God has willed everything from eternity, then God’s will is unchanging and He cannot change His mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now that we’ve seen what the Bible teaches on this topic, let’s take a look at two questions that are sometimes asked about God’s unchanging mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“If God wills that different things happen at different times, doesn’t this mean that God changes His mind?” It is true that God wills that different things happen at different times, but that doesn’t mean that He changes His mind. It is possible for God to will that things change without changing His will. We do this all the time. For example, someone may will to live in an apartment for two years, fully intending to move into a house afterwards. At the end of the two years, when he moves from the apartment to the house, his will has not changed. Instead, he willed the change from the beginning. In the same way, God can will that changes happen without changes in His will.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Another question that often comes up is: “What about verses that speak of God regretting, repenting, or relenting (e.g., Genesis 6:6; 1 Samuel 15:35; Exodus 32:14)? Don’t these verses mean that God changes His mind?” These verses should be understood metaphorically. Metaphors are used in the Bible to say things about God or about His actions that are true but are described in poetic ways that should not be taken literally. One type of metaphor that the Bible uses is called an anthropomorphism. An anthropomorphism is a metaphor that describes God using words that usually describe human beings because it is easier for humans to understand. For example, there are many verses that speak of God having body parts (e.g., Exodus 7:5, Numbers 6:25, and Psalm 34:15). Whenever the Bible attributes human characteristics to God, these verses should be interpreted metaphorically. So when the Bible speaks of God repenting, etc., we shouldn’t take this to mean that God changes His mind. Rather, we should understand these passages as metaphorically describing a change in God’s actions over His creation. In fact, 1 Samuel 15:29 says “the Glory of Israel will not lie or have regret, for He is not a man, that He should have regret.” So, for example, in Genesis 6:6 God is said to regret only by comparison to humans who are filled with regret. Humans who regret what they have done destroy their work, so God is described as regretting because He destroyed the wicked on the earth through the flood.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In conclusion, the Bible teaches that God can’t make mistakes because He is perfect, all-knowing, and all-powerful, and that He can’t change His mind because He is unchanging and eternal.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>(All Bible quotes taken from the English Standard Version unless otherwise noted.)\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Those who would like to read more on this topic are encouraged to check out:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>ONLINE RESOURCES\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>GotQuestions.org - Does God Make Mistakes?

Hay muchos vers&iacute;culos b&iacute;blicos que dicen que Dios es perfecto. El Salmo 18:30 dice: &ldquo;En cuanto a Dios, perfecto es su camino, y acrisolada la palabra de Jehov&aacute;; escudo es a todos los que en &eacute;l esperan.\". Mois&eacute;s escribe en Deuteronomio 32:4 que \" &Eacute;l es la Roca, cuya obra es perfecta, porque todos sus caminos son rectitud; Dios de verdad, y sin ninguna iniquidad en &eacute;l; Es justo y recto.\". Jes&uacute;s ense&ntilde;&oacute; que Dios es perfecto en el Serm&oacute;n de la monta&ntilde;a&mdash; &ldquo;Sed, pues, vosotros perfectos, como vuestro Padre que est&aacute; en los cielos es perfecto.&rdquo; (Mateo 5:48). Puesto que todo lo que Dios hace es perfecto, no puede cometer un error, porque un error ser&iacute;a una imperfecci&oacute;n.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Otra raz&oacute;n por la que Dios no puede cometer errores es porque &Eacute;l es omnisciente y todopoderoso. La Biblia nos dice en muchos pasajes que Dios lo sabe todo: &ldquo;Grande es el Se&ntilde;or nuestro, y de mucho poder; y su entendimiento es infinito.&rdquo; (Salmo 147: 5); \" pues si nuestro coraz&oacute;n nos reprende, mayor que nuestro coraz&oacute;n es Dios, y &eacute;l sabe todas las cosas.\" (1 Juan 3:20)! &iexcl;Oh profundidad de las riquezas de la sabidur&iacute;a y de la ciencia de Dios! &iexcl;Cu&aacute;n insondables son sus juicios, e inescrutables sus caminos! &rdquo;(Romanos 11:33); \" Y no hay cosa creada que no sea manifiesta en su presencia; antes bien todas las cosas est&aacute;n desnudas y abiertas a los ojos de aquel a quien tenemos que dar cuenta.\" (Hebreos 4:13). Dios tambi&eacute;n es todopoderoso: \"Grande es nuestro Se&ntilde;or, abundante en poder\" (Salmo 147: 5); &ldquo;Nuestro Dios est&aacute; en los cielos; todo lo que quiso ha hecho.&rdquo; (Salmo 115: 3); \" Jehov&aacute; es tardo para la ira y grande en poder,\" (Nah&uacute;m 1: 3). Pablo escribe que Dios \"hace todas las cosas seg&uacute;n el designio de su voluntad\" (Efesios 1:11). Jes&uacute;s dijo: \" Lo que es imposible para los hombres, es posible para Dios.\" (Lucas 18:27). Estos pasajes, y muchos otros, nos muestran que Dios es omnisciente y todopoderoso. Si Dios es omnisciente y todopoderoso, entonces no puede cometer errores. Cuando alguien comete un error, es porque no es consciente de algo (una situaci&oacute;n actual, algo que suceder&aacute; en el futuro, etc.) o no puede hacer algo que quiere. Por ejemplo, un camarero comete un error cuando intenta llevar una bandeja de comida a los clientes hambrientos, pero deja caer la bandeja en el camino. En este caso, el camarero quer&iacute;a sacar la comida, pero no pudo equilibrar con &eacute;xito la bandeja hasta la mesa. Pero Dios claramente no puede dejar de hacer algo que quiere, porque es todopoderoso. Tampoco puede ignorar algo, porque lo sabe todo. Entonces, como Dios es omnisciente y todopoderoso, no puede cometer errores.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Adem&aacute;s de no poder cometer errores, Dios tampoco puede cambiar de opini&oacute;n. N&uacute;meros 23:19 dice: \" Dios no es hombre, para que mienta, ni hijo de hombre para que se arrepienta\". Dios, hablando a trav&eacute;s de Malaqu&iacute;as, dice: \" Porque yo Jehov&aacute; no cambio; por esto, hijos de Jacob, no hab&eacute;is sido consumidos&rdquo; (Malaqu&iacute;as 3: 6). Santiago escribe: \" Toda buena d&aacute;diva y todo don perfecto desciende de lo alto, del Padre de las luces, en el cual no hay mudanza, ni sombra de variaci&oacute;n.\" (Santiago 1:17). Hebreos 13: 8 dice de Jes&uacute;s, quien es Dios, \"Jesucristo es el mismo ayer, hoy y siempre\". Entonces, si Dios no cambia de otra manera, entonces podemos estar seguros de que &Eacute;l tampoco cambia de opini&oacute;n.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Otra raz&oacute;n por la que Dios no puede cambiar de opini&oacute;n es porque su voluntad es eterna. La Biblia ense&ntilde;a que Dios es eterno, y que lo que quiere, lo hace eternamente. \"El Dios eterno es tu refugio, y debajo est&aacute;n los brazos eternos\" (Deuteronomio 33:27). \" Antes que naciesen los montes y formases la tierra y el mundo, desde el siglo y hasta el siglo, t&uacute; eres Dios.\" (Salmo 90: 2). Varios vers&iacute;culos en el Nuevo Testamento dejan en claro que Dios es eterno porque &Eacute;l es el Creador del tiempo: \" en estos postreros d&iacute;as nos ha hablado por el Hijo, a quien constituy&oacute; heredero de todo, y por quien asimismo hizo el universo; [lit. las edades] &rdquo;(Hebreos 1: 2); &ldquo;Por tanto, al Rey de los siglos, inmortal, invisible, al &uacute;nico y sabio Dios, sea honor y gloria por los siglos de los siglos. Am&eacute;n.&rdquo; (1 Timoteo 1:17). Estos pasajes en la Biblia muestran que Dios cre&oacute; el tiempo y tiene soberan&iacute;a sobre &eacute;l. Muchos vers&iacute;culos en la Biblia ense&ntilde;an que la voluntad de Dios es eterna: \" conforme al prop&oacute;sito eterno que hizo en Cristo Jes&uacute;s nuestro Se&ntilde;or,\" (Efesios 3:11); \" Acordaos de las cosas pasadas desde los tiempos antiguos; porque yo soy Dios, y no hay otro Dios, y nada hay semejante a m&iacute;, que anuncio lo por venir desde el principio, y desde la antig&uuml;edad lo que a&uacute;n no era hecho; que digo: Mi consejo permanecer&aacute;, y har&eacute; todo lo que quiero;\" (Isa&iacute;as 46: 9-10); &ldquo;Yo Jehov&aacute; he hablado; vendr&aacute;, y yo lo har&eacute;. No me volver&eacute; atr&aacute;s, ni tendr&eacute; misericordia, ni me arrepentir&eacute;; seg&uacute;n tus caminos y tus obras te juzgar&aacute;n, dice Jehov&aacute; el Se&ntilde;or.&rdquo; (Ezequiel 24:14). Debido a que Dios es eterno, todo lo que quiere debe haber sido querido desde la eternidad pasada. Si Dios ha querido todo desde la eternidad, entonces la voluntad de Dios no cambia y no puede cambiar de opini&oacute;n.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Ahora que hemos visto lo que la Biblia ense&ntilde;a sobre este tema, echemos un vistazo a dos preguntas que a veces se hacen sobre la mente inmutable de Dios.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>\"Si Dios quiere que sucedan cosas diferentes en momentos diferentes, &iquest;no significa esto que Dios cambia de opini&oacute;n?\" Es cierto que Dios quiere que cosas diferentes sucedan en momentos diferentes, pero eso no significa que cambie de opini&oacute;n. Es posible que Dios quiera que las cosas cambien sin cambiar su voluntad. Hacemos esto todo el tiempo. Por ejemplo, alguien puede vivir en un departamento por dos a&ntilde;os, con la intenci&oacute;n de mudarse a una casa despu&eacute;s. Al final de los dos a&ntilde;os, cuando se muda del departamento a la casa, su voluntad no ha cambiado. En cambio, quiso el cambio desde el principio. De la misma manera, Dios puede querer que los cambios sucedan sin cambios en su voluntad.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Otra pregunta que a menudo surge es: &ldquo;&iquest;Qu&eacute; pasa con los vers&iacute;culos que hablan de que Dios se arrepiente, se arrepiente o cede (por ejemplo, G&eacute;nesis 6: 6; 1 Samuel 15:35; &Eacute;xodo 32:14)? &iquest;No significan estos vers&iacute;culos que Dios cambia de opini&oacute;n? \"Estos vers&iacute;culos deben entenderse metaf&oacute;ricamente. Las met&aacute;foras se usan en la Biblia para decir cosas acerca de Dios o de sus acciones que son verdaderas pero que se describen en formas po&eacute;ticas que no deben tomarse literalmente. Un tipo de met&aacute;fora que usa la Biblia se llama antropomorfismo. Un antropomorfismo es una met&aacute;fora que describe a Dios usando palabras que generalmente describen a los seres humanos porque es m&aacute;s f&aacute;cil de entender para los humanos. Por ejemplo, hay muchos vers&iacute;culos que hablan de que Dios tiene partes del cuerpo (por ejemplo, &Eacute;xodo 7: 5, N&uacute;meros 6:25 y Salmo 34:15). Cada vez que la Biblia atribuye caracter&iacute;sticas humanas a Dios, estos vers&iacute;culos deben interpretarse metaf&oacute;ricamente. Entonces, cuando la Biblia habla de Dios arrepinti&eacute;ndose, etc., no debemos tomar esto como que Dios cambia de opini&oacute;n. M&aacute;s bien, debemos entender estos pasajes como una descripci&oacute;n metaf&oacute;rica de un cambio en las acciones de Dios sobre su creaci&oacute;n. De hecho, 1 Samuel 15:29 dice que \"la Gloria de Israel no mentir&aacute; ni se arrepentir&aacute;, porque &Eacute;l no es un hombre, para arrepentirse\". As&iacute;, por ejemplo, en G&eacute;nesis 6: 6 se dice que Dios lamenta. solo en comparaci&oacute;n con los humanos que est&aacute;n llenos de arrepentimiento. Los humanos que lamentan lo que han hecho destruyen su trabajo, por lo que se describe a Dios como lamentando porque destruy&oacute; a los imp&iacute;os en la tierra a trav&eacute;s del diluvio.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>En conclusi&oacute;n, la Biblia ense&ntilde;a que Dios no puede cometer errores porque es perfecto, omnisciente y todopoderoso, y que no puede cambiar de opini&oacute;n porque es inmutable y eterno.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>(Todas las citas b&iacute;blicas tomadas de la versi&oacute;n est&aacute;ndar en ingl&eacute;s a menos que se indique lo contrario).\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Se recomienda a quienes deseen leer m&aacute;s sobre este tema que echen un vistazo:\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>RECURSOS EN L&Iacute;NEA\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>GotQuestions.org - Does God Make Mistakes?

De nombreux versets bibliques affirment que Dieu est parfait. Le Psaume 18:30 dit : « Ce Dieu — Sa voie est parfaite ; la parole du Seigneur est éprouvée ; Il est un bouclier pour tous ceux qui cherchent refuge auprès de Lui. » Moïse écrit dans Deutéronome 32:4 que « Le Rocher, Son œuvre est parfaite, car toutes Ses voies sont justice. » Jésus a enseigné que Dieu est parfait dans le Sermon sur la montagne : « Soyez donc parfaits, comme votre Père céleste est parfait » (Matthieu 5:48). Puisque tout ce que Dieu fait est parfait, Il ne peut pas commettre d’erreur, car une erreur serait une imperfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Une autre raison pour laquelle Dieu ne peut pas commettre d’erreurs est qu’Il est omniscient et tout-puissant. La Bible nous dit dans de nombreux passages que Dieu est omniscient : « Notre Seigneur est grand, abondant en puissance ; Son intelligence est sans mesure » (Psaume 147:5) ; « Dieu est plus grand que notre cœur, et Il connaît tout » (1 Jean 3:20) ; « Ô profondeur de la richesse, de la sagesse et de la connaissance de Dieu ! Que Ses jugements sont insondables, et Ses voies incompréhensibles ! » (Romains 11:33) ; « Et aucune créature n’est cachée devant Lui, mais tout est nu et exposé aux yeux de Celui à qui nous devons rendre compte » (Hébreux 4:13). Dieu est aussi tout-puissant : « Notre Seigneur est grand, abondant en puissance » (Psaume 147:5) ; « Notre Dieu est aux cieux ; Il fait tout ce qu’Il veut » (Psaume 115:3) ; « L’Éternel est lent à la colère et grand en puissance » (Nahum 1:3). Paul écrit que Dieu « opère toutes choses selon le conseil de Sa volonté » (Éphésiens 1:11). Jésus a dit : « Ce qui est impossible aux hommes est possible à Dieu » (Luc 18:27). Ces passages, et bien d’autres, nous montrent que Dieu est omniscient et tout-puissant. Si Dieu est omniscient et tout-puissant, alors Il ne peut pas commettre d’erreurs. Quand quelqu’un commet une erreur, c’est parce qu’il ignore quelque chose (une situation actuelle, quelque chose qui se produira dans le futur, etc.) ou qu’il est incapable de faire quelque chose qu’il veut. Par exemple, un serveur commet une erreur lorsqu’il essaie d’apporter un plateau de nourriture à des clients affamés mais laisse tomber le plateau en chemin. Dans ce cas, le serveur voulait apporter la nourriture mais n’a pas pu équilibrer le plateau jusqu’à la table. Mais Dieu ne peut manifestement pas manquer de faire ce qu’Il veut, car Il est tout-puissant. Il ne peut non plus ignorer quelque chose, car Il est omniscient. Ainsi, parce que Dieu est omniscient et tout-puissant, Il ne peut pas commettre d’erreurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En plus de ne pas pouvoir commettre d’erreurs, Dieu ne peut pas non plus changer d’avis. Nombres 23:19 dit : « Dieu n’est point un homme pour mentir, ni fils d’homme pour se repentir. » Dieu, parlant par Malachie, dit : « Car Moi, l’Éternel, Je ne change point ; c’est pourquoi vous, fils de Jacob, vous n’avez pas été consumés » (Malachie 3:6). Jacques écrit : « Toute bonne donation et tout don parfait descendent d’en haut, du Père des lumières, chez lequel il n’y a ni variation ni ombre de changement » (Jacques 1:17). Hébreux 13:8 dit de Jésus, qui est Dieu : « Jésus-Christ est le même hier, aujourd’hui et éternellement. » Donc si Dieu ne change pas d’une autre manière, nous pouvons être sûrs qu’Il ne change pas non plus d’avis.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Une autre raison pour laquelle Dieu ne peut pas changer d’avis est que Sa volonté est intemporelle, ou éternelle. La Bible enseigne que Dieu est éternel et immuable, et que ce qu’Il veut, Il le veut éternellement. « Le Dieu éternel est ta demeure, et sous Ses bras éternels tu trouves un refuge » (Deutéronome 33:27). « Avant que les montagnes fussent nées, et que Tu eusses formé la terre et le monde, d’éternité en éternité Tu es Dieu » (Psaume 90:2). Plusieurs versets du Nouveau Testament montrent clairement que Dieu est éternel parce qu’Il est le Créateur du temps : « mais dans ces derniers jours, Il nous a parlé par le Fils, qu’Il a établi héritier de toutes choses, par lequel Il a aussi créé le monde [litt. les âges] » (Hébreux 1:2) ; « au seul Dieu, notre Sauveur, par Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur, soient gloire, majesté, empire et puissance, avant tous les temps, et maintenant, et dans tous les siècles ! Amen » (Jude 25) ; « Au Roi des siècles, immortel, invisible, au seul Dieu, soient honneur et gloire aux siècles des siècles ! Amen » (1 Timothée 1:17). Ces passages de la Bible montrent que Dieu a créé le temps et a la souveraineté sur lui. De nombreux versets de la Bible enseignent que la volonté de Dieu est éternelle : « selon le dessein éternel qu’Il a réalisé en Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur » (Éphésiens 3:11) ; « Je suis Dieu, et il n’y en a point d’autre, Je déclare dès le commencement ce qui doit arriver, et dès les temps anciens ce qui n’est pas encore fait » (Ésaïe 46:9-10) ; « Je suis l’Éternel. J’ai parlé ; cela arrivera, Je l’exécuterai » (Ézéchiel 24:14). Parce que Dieu est éternel, tout ce qu’Il veut a dû être voulu depuis l’éternité passée. Si Dieu a voulu toutes choses depuis l’éternité, alors Sa volonté est immuable et Il ne peut pas changer d’avis.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Maintenant que nous avons vu ce que la Bible enseigne sur ce sujet, examinons deux questions qui sont parfois posées au sujet de l’immuabilité de l’esprit de Dieu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>« Si Dieu veut que des choses différentes se produisent à des moments différents, cela ne signifie-t-il pas que Dieu change d’avis ? » Il est vrai que Dieu veut que des choses différentes se produisent à des moments différents, mais cela ne signifie pas qu’Il change d’avis. Il est possible pour Dieu de vouloir que les choses changent sans que Sa volonté change. Nous faisons cela tout le temps. Par exemple, quelqu’un peut vouloir vivre dans un appartement pendant deux ans, ayant pleinement l’intention de déménager dans une maison ensuite. À la fin des deux ans, lorsqu’il passe de l’appartement à la maison, sa volonté n’a pas changé. Au contraire, il a voulu ce changement dès le début. De la même manière, Dieu peut vouloir que des changements se produisent sans que Sa volonté change.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Une autre question qui revient souvent est la suivante : « Et que dire des versets qui parlent de Dieu regrettant, se repentant ou revenant sur sa décision (par exemple, Genèse 6:6 ; 1 Samuel 15:35 ; Exode 32:14) ? Ces versets ne signifient-ils pas que Dieu change d’avis ? » Ces versets doivent être compris de manière métaphorique. Les métaphores sont utilisées dans la Bible pour dire des choses vraies au sujet de Dieu ou de Ses actions, mais décrites de manière poétique qui ne doit pas être prise littéralement. Un type de métaphore utilisé dans la Bible est appelé anthropomorphisme. Un anthropomorphisme est une métaphore qui décrit Dieu en utilisant des mots qui décrivent habituellement les êtres humains, car cela est plus facile à comprendre pour les humains. Par exemple, de nombreux versets parlent de Dieu ayant des parties du corps (par exemple, Exode 7:5, Nombres 6:25 et Psaume 34:15). Chaque fois que la Bible attribue des caractéristiques humaines à Dieu, ces versets doivent être interprétés de manière métaphorique. Ainsi, lorsque la Bible parle de Dieu se repentant, etc., nous ne devons pas comprendre cela comme signifiant que Dieu change d’avis. Au contraire, nous devons comprendre ces passages comme décrivant métaphoriquement un changement dans les actions de Dieu envers Sa création. En fait, 1 Samuel 15:29 dit : « La Gloire d’Israël ne mentira pas et ne regrettera pas, car Il n’est pas un homme pour regretter. » Ainsi, par exemple, dans Genèse 6:6, il est dit que Dieu regrette seulement par comparaison aux humains qui sont remplis de regret.

이 구절들이 하나님께서 마음을 바꾸신다는 의미가 아닙니까?” 이 구절들은 비유적으로 이해해야 합니다. 성경에서는 하나님에 대해 또는 그분의 행동에 대해 사실이지만, 문자 그대로 받아들여서는 안 되는 시적 표현으로 묘사할 때 비유를 사용합니다. 성경에서 사용하는 비유 중 하나는 의인화(anthropomorphism)라고 불립니다. 의인화란, 인간이 이해하기 쉽도록 하나님을 인간에게 보통 사용되는 단어로 묘사하는 비유입니다. 예를 들어, 하나님께서 신체 부위를 가지고 계신다고 말하는 구절들이 많이 있습니다(예: 출애굽기 7:5, 민수기 6:25, 시편 34:15). 성경이 하나님께 인간의 특성을 부여할 때마다, 그 구절들은 비유적으로 해석되어야 합니다. 따라서 성경이 하나님께서 후회하신다고 말할 때, 이것을 하나님께서 마음을 바꾸신다는 의미로 받아들여서는 안 됩니다. 오히려, 이 구절들은 하나님의 행동이 그분의 창조물에 대해 변하는 것을 비유적으로 묘사하는 것으로 이해해야 합니다. 실제로 사무엘상 15:29은 “이스라엘의 영광은 거짓말을 하지 않으시며, 후회하지도 않으시리니, 이는 그분은 사람이 아니시므로 후회하지 않으심이라”고 말합니다. 그러므로, 예를 들어 창세기 6:6에서 하나님께서 후회하신다고 한 것은, 후회로 가득 찬 인간과 비교하여 그렇게 표현한 것입니다. 인간은 자신이 한 일을 후회하면 그 일을 파괴하므로, 하나님께서 홍수를 통해 땅의 악인들을 멸하신 것을 후회하신 것으로 묘사한 것입니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>결론적으로, 성경은 하나님이 완전하시고, 전지하시며, 전능하시기 때문에 실수를 하실 수 없으며, 불변하시고 영원하시기 때문에 마음을 바꾸실 수 없다고 가르칩니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>(특별히 명시되지 않는 한, 모든 성경 인용은 ESV(English Standard Version)에서 가져왔습니다.)\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>이 주제에 대해 더 읽고 싶으신 분들은 다음 자료들을 참고하시기 바랍니다:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>온라인 자료\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>GotQuestions.org - Does God Make Mistakes?

Our protective atmosphere also regularly burns up space debris and rocks that could pulverize our planet’s surface, and us, with deadly force.&nbsp; If not for all these factors, and the necessary conditions of our solar system and universe that make them possible, we would not be here, in fact we never would have come to be in the first place.[16]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There seems to be no real reason to expect that the earth would be any different from any other planet in the solar system which all have environments inimical to human existence.&nbsp; Why is earth such a remarkable life-support system?&nbsp; How did it come to be this way?&nbsp; This is an age-old question that has prompted enough wonder to fuel the scientific quest for ages.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>People have come to different conclusions, of course, about the “why” of our existence and the conditions that make it possible.&nbsp; Astrophysicist Paul Davies sums up the two basic perspectives in the following question,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Was our universe created in a very special state, carefully fashioned so that, in the fullness of time, life and eventually mind would blossom forth to marvel at it?&nbsp; Or do we live amid a monstrous and meaningless accident, a cosmic eruption from nothing that has occurred purely at random?&nbsp; Surely there can be no more pressing task for today’s cosmologist than to tackle that central question of existence.”[17]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thus, in answer to the “why” question, there are two basic answers. One, there is no “why” or reason, it just happened and here we are, or, two, it is all here by design. These suggestions seem to clearly polarize the options about how the universe came to be.&nbsp; Jacques Monod has aligned himself with the former position of meaninglessness stating that “Man knows at last that he is alone in the universe’s unfeeling immensity, out of which he emerged only by chance.”[18] This position seems to be neither scientifically supportable, nor existentially satisfying.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For example, Patrick Glynn, professor at George Washington University, has sided with the latter position.&nbsp; Of particular interest with Glynn’s work is his personal history of having come from the former conclusion of meaninglessness to his present position that God created the universe.[19]&nbsp;This was, as he describes in his book, a huge paradigm shift, as it brought him from atheistic nihilism to a position of theistic faith.&nbsp; In describing the quest that led him to theism he writes “Gradually I realized that in the twenty years since I opted for philosophical atheism, a vast, systematic literature had emerged that had not only cast deep doubt on, but also, from any reasonable perspective, effectively refuted my atheistic outlook.”[20]&nbsp; Glynn describes how this paradigm shift came about for him especially with regard to the issue of the universe’s design.&nbsp; He writes, “Modern thinkers assumed that science would reveal the universe to be ever more random and mechanical; instead it has discovered unexpected new layers of intricate order that bespeak an almost unimaginably vast master design.”[21]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That scientific discovery to which Glynn refers has been called the&nbsp;\u003Cem>anthropic principle\u003C\u002Fem>.&nbsp; It emerged in the early 1970s and has been gaining momentum within the scientific community for nearly thirty years.&nbsp; According to Glynn, the anthropic principle essentially claims, “all the seemingly arbitrary and unrelated constants in physics have one strange thing in common. – these are precisely the values you need if you want to have a universe capable of producing life.”[22]&nbsp; Further, “. . . all the myriad laws of physics were fine-tuned from the very beginning of the universe for the creation of man – that the universe we inhabit appeared to be expressly designed for the emergence of human beings.”[23]&nbsp; &nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With regard to the question of the remarkable order of the universe itself, purely naturalistic and materialistic explanations leave too much unaccounted for to satisfy either intellect or psyche. &nbsp;I have a difficult time both cognitively and existentially accepting that this entire universe, the earth and its inhabitants are an accidental product of mindless energy acting by chance on inanimate matter.&nbsp; To suggest this is as unreasonable to me as suggesting that the computer upon which I type this essay is the accidental product of non-intelligence that just emerged over long periods of time by pure chance into its present, complex form.&nbsp; The computer was created on purpose, and intelligence had to plan and organize the delicate interrelatedness of its constituent parts.&nbsp; I concur with philosopher Richard Swinburne who writes, “The existence of order in the universe increases significantly the probability that there is a God.”[24] And the more it is understood; the anthropic principle elicits a universe programmed with incredible order.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Perhaps this is part of the reason that most people are theists of some sort, or at least entertaining the probability of some kind of Mind behind the universe.&nbsp; In fact, this contemporary restructuring of the age-old teleological argument makes the existence of God much more plausible to many scientists and philosophers who are considering at least a rudimentary theistic view of the cosmos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Davies, for example, explains, “Translated into a cosmological context, the conundrum is this.&nbsp; If the universe is simply an accident, the odds against it containing any appreciable order are ludicrously small.”[25]&nbsp; He adds, “ . . . it appears hard to escape the conclusion that the actual state of the universe has been ‘chosen’ or selected. . .”[26]&nbsp; Davies makes the&nbsp; following conclusion with regard to the anthropic principle of design, “the seemingly miraculous concurrence of numerical values that nature has assigned to her fundamental constants must remain the most compelling evidence for an element of cosmic design.”[27]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Physicist and Hebrew scholar Gerald L. Schroeder, who identifies himself as having been on the ‘adversary’s team’ for years as an MIT scientist, has come to the position that the universe came to be exactly as the Bible states it.&nbsp; God created it.&nbsp; He, like Glynn and Davies, sees anthropic design as that in which the physical variables of the universe “are so precisely balanced toward the needs of life that the universe appears designed for life.”[28]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ian Barbour has summed up the concept of the anthropic principle as it has impacted the scientific community as follows, “Astrophysicists have found that life in the universe would have been impossible if some of the physical constants and other conditions in the early universe had differed even slightly from the values they had.&nbsp; The universe seems to be so ‘fine-tuned’ for the possibility of life.”[29]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hugh Ross, himself a scientist and deep skeptic of the Bible until he studied it from a scientific standpoint, has this to say, “thirty-five years of research on the Anthropic Principle (the universe’s tendency to provide every necessity for human life and sustenance) has built an expanding, rather than diminishing, body of evidence for divine design.”[30]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This scientific data does not prove the existence of God beyond all doubt, for sure, but it does provide ample data to at least say that it makes belief in an intelligent creator more plausible.&nbsp; The anthropic principle, however, takes us beyond the basic teleological argument for God’s existence, for it takes us beyond the phenomenon of design to consider the actual purpose of the design.&nbsp; The universe was created the way it was so that life, and especially human life could emerge and flourish.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The anthropic principle has not only to do with how the universe was put together, but also how it&nbsp;\u003Cem>stays&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>together, and makes life possible everyday.&nbsp;&nbsp; Thus it points to the theistic conclusion, accepted by most, that there is a God that somehow takes continual interest in his creation, especially humankind, by putting in place and maintaining all these physical constants that are necessary to sustain our lives on this planet. From there we may conclude that not only does this God take interest in our physical well being, but also our spiritual well-being as persons yearning for meaning and truth and love. &nbsp;The anthropic idea gives us two remarkable clues leading to the discovery about the truth of our spiritual lives.&nbsp; First; God sets the conditions for our existence as humans, and secondly; God cares about our total well-being; i.e. God cares about us as both physical and spiritual beings.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Whether we agree with the arrangement or not is immaterial.&nbsp; If we are, as humans, going to survive and thrive in a physical sense, we must remain within the parameters of the physical conditions that have been ordained for our physical well being in this universe and on this planet.&nbsp; If we want to live we must order our lives according to what has been set up for us; if we do not, we will suffer, or even perish.[31]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It would seem logical that we should expect nothing less in the spiritual realm of our existence; i.e. that God has ordained specific conditions for our spiritual existence within which we must live to flourish.&nbsp; If we do not, then we will spiritually suffer.&nbsp; This latter suggestion, about spiritual conditions for life, seems necessary as it does not cohere to speak of a God who has arranged this remarkable universe with the potential for human life to flourish on this planet, and then cares no further that we actually do survive and thrive.&nbsp; God has not created us as beings with merely physical needs, but also beings with non-material needs like love, meaning, justice, equality and truth. We cannot flourish without these, just as much as we cannot flourish without liquid water. Therefore, just as we would not balk at God’s prerogative to order the physical conditions for our surviving and thriving as humans, we would be foolish to suggest that this same prerogative does not extend to the spiritual realm of our existence.[32]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There is a nexus between the theistic belief that God has established the physical conditions for our existence and the belief that God has also established the conditions for our spiritual well being.&nbsp;&nbsp; There is also good reason to believe that God has clearly communicated them to us, and that this communication converges in the unique life and ministry of Jesus Christ.&nbsp; To get there, however, it is essential to grapple with some of the more existential or spiritual questions of human concern, viz. identity, meaning and morality.&nbsp; With this, the paradigm of relationship as the matrix that brings coherence to all these other existential concerns of human life will emerge.&nbsp; It is this paradigm that points to the definitive way in which God has established the conditions for humans to enter into a relationship with Him.[33] &nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>The search for identity,&nbsp;dignity and meaning\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What does it mean to be human?&nbsp; Are we merely a meaningless mass of molecules that ultimately has no purpose, or does the careful fine-tuning of the universe extend to human beings as well?&nbsp; Does human life have&nbsp;\u003Cem>intrinsic\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;worth?&nbsp; Is the human race really important and worth preserving?&nbsp; It was musings about such questions that led Count Leo Tolstoy to ruminate deeply about the purpose of his own existence, who, when around 50 years of age, was in quest of the “why” of his life.&nbsp; He saw that a materialistic view of life was inimical to meaning in life stating,&nbsp;&nbsp; “I want to know the meaning of my life, but the fact that it is a particle of the infinite not only gives it no meaning, but destroys all possible meaning.”[34]&nbsp; He considered his situation “stupid and desperate”[35] the more he tried to just put away the emotional consequences of a materialistic view of the cosmos, the more he was driven to despair. The question of meaning continued to “arrest” him to the point that “I had to use cunning against myself in order that I might not take my life.”[36]&nbsp; Eventually Tolstoy found this meaning he sought in the Christian faith.&nbsp;&nbsp; Glynn, mentioned above as having come out of a nihilistic view of life makes the following comment in relation to this existential concern, “there is nothing stable about the postmodern vision as a resting place for human consciousness.&nbsp; The mind may insist on these nihilistic propositions, but in the long run the heart will not tolerate them.”[37]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This emotional resistance to nihilism alone would seem to point to a deeper, spiritual reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The question of identity is inextricably woven with the question of meaning, for it would seem that if all reality were nothing more than matter, then nothing would really matter at all.&nbsp; While humanists generally assert the “preciousness and dignity of the individual person,”[38]&nbsp;&nbsp;some humanists can see right through this as an atheistic “leap of faith.”&nbsp; For example one humanist has astutely observed, “We need to mitigate the truth if we are to remain reasonably sane. In fact a truly sane person would be socially insane. Functionally,&nbsp;\u003Cem>sanity means being deluded sufficiently to believe that life is worth living and that the human race is worth preserving\u003C\u002Fem>.”[39]&nbsp; In other words, sanity is the result of pretense; telling yourself that life is worth living, when the painful truth is, it is not.&nbsp; Ravi Zacharias has challenged the underlying assumption of dignity in humanism by asking, “So where does human dignity come from?”&nbsp; He concludes, “There is no way to contrive it, or to enforce it; human dignity must be essential.”[40]&nbsp;&nbsp; In the absence of intrinsic human worth, we are left with nothing more than cunning against ourselves to maintain a semblance of sanity, and convince ourselves to go on, even though it is not really worth it. It seems that the words of this humanist, as dark as they appear, demonstrate a universal inner thirst in the human soul to see life as meaningful. For even he would suggest that we all strive to delude ourselves to be “sane,” and thus enjoy at least the illusion of meaning, and protect the rest of society, that is, somehow care about others. Humanism couldn’t work if at least the illusion of human dignity were not maintained.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>An integral part of the question of meaning is the question about love and human relationships.&nbsp; Is there any final significance to the bonds we form with each other? It is no accident that almost every other song one hears is a love song, and the most memorable films delve into questions of love and human relationships.&nbsp; We humans need love. Without it, we will become psychologically and sometimes even physically ill.&nbsp; The emotions that accompany love, like affection, anticipation of reunion, grief at the loss of a “loved” one, and compassion for the weak and sickly are difficult to account for in a materialistic framework.&nbsp; The more complex human emotions, like the ones just listed, as well as guilt (uneasiness over perceived wrong-doing), dread (fear of the numinous and unknown) and awe (a sense of wonder at the mysteries of life), seem to point to a higher level of being, that is a transcendent source and object for human emotions that in turn reciprocates the affirmation of that objective value.&nbsp; Philosopher Robert Nozik concludes the following about the emotional structure of human existence, “for present purposes we need only assume that value is not just a matter of opinion, that it is ‘out there’ and has its own nature.&nbsp; Our current suggestion is that emotions are a response to value (whatever the correct theory of objective intrinsic value might turn out to be).”[41]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>We humans have an intuitive tendency to value others and ourselves.&nbsp; Through both observation and experience it becomes quickly evident that the spiritual, or non-material aspect of our lives, is sustained by, among other things, love and interpersonal relationships, especially those in which we know we are loved unconditionally; i.e. loved not for what we do, or have accomplished, but just loved for being the person that we are.&nbsp; Without the knowledge that we are so loved, as mentioned above, we end up in a state of psychological illness that stifles our personal thriving in life.&nbsp; It also seems integral to our spiritual well being not only that we receive this unconditional love, but also that we reciprocate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Could it be that, ironically, what we subjectively feel points to that which is objectively real?&nbsp; If there is, indeed, an objective explanation for these existential aspects of human concern, an explanation outside of and independent from human preference and opinion, could it be that herein we find ourselves staring through a glass darkly at the face of God?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[1] C.S.

Sin embargo, a pesar de su aceptabilidad casi universal entre los cristianos, vuela en la cara de cualquier otra religi&oacute;n o \"buscador\" espiritual individual en el mundo, ya que afirma la especificidad de c&oacute;mo las personas llegan a experimentar una relaci&oacute;n con Dios. Un Dios tan particular es una ofensa a esta mentalidad moderna. El autor brit&aacute;nico y apologista cristiano CS Lewis, escribiendo en 1947, no desconoc&iacute;a este tipo de mentalidad.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Quienes defendemos el cristianismo nos encontramos constantemente atacados no por la irreligi&oacute;n de nuestros oyentes sino por su verdadera religi&oacute;n. Hable acerca de la belleza, la verdad y la bondad, o acerca de un Dios que es simplemente el principio de estos tres, hable de una gran fuerza espiritual que impregna todas las cosas, una mente com&uacute;n de la que todos somos parte, un grupo de espiritualidad generalizada de la que todos podemos fluir, y tendr&aacute;s un inter&eacute;s amistoso. Pero la temperatura baja tan pronto como mencionas a un Dios que tiene prop&oacute;sitos y realiza acciones particulares, que hace una cosa y no otra, un Dios concreto, que elige, ordena y proh&iacute;be con determinado car&aacute;cter. La gente se averg&uuml;enza o enoja. Tal concepci&oacute;n les parece primitiva y cruda e incluso irreverente. [1]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Recientemente, el encuestador estadounidense George Gallup Jr. inform&oacute; los resultados de una \"Encuesta de pr&aacute;ctica espiritual de veinticuatro horas\". [2] Seg&uacute;n Gallup, \"No solo la mayor&iacute;a de los estadounidenses (nueve de cada diez) cree en Dios, casi la mitad afirma han experimentado la presencia de ese Dios dentro de un per&iacute;odo de veinticuatro horas&rdquo;. [3] Aparentemente, la mayor&iacute;a de los estadounidenses creer&iacute;an que hay un Dios, y que es posible tener una relaci&oacute;n de alg&uacute;n tipo (sentir la presencia de Dios). Sin embargo, aproximadamente 3 de cada 4 de estas personas (72%) tienen m&aacute;s probabilidades de decir que la espiritualidad es mucho m&aacute;s un asunto personal e individual, que uno centrado en una tradici&oacute;n religiosa en particular. [4] \"Soy espiritual, no religioso\", es el mantra de esta espiritualidad moderna. Es com&uacute;n que las personas en estos d&iacute;as todav&iacute;a se sientan bastante c&oacute;modas con la idea de que todos pueden tener una relaci&oacute;n con Dios, siempre y cuando puedan definir \"Dios\" y \"relaci&oacute;n\" a su manera, y permitir a cada individuo el mismo lujo. Esto lleva a la idea de que uno nunca debe sugerir que su forma de relacionarse con Dios es mejor que la de cualquier otra persona.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Mientras que la mayor&iacute;a de los modernos e incluso los te&iacute;stas estar&iacute;an de acuerdo con la primera parte, y tal vez incluso la segunda, de la proposici&oacute;n; \"Hay un Dios y los humanos pueden tener una relaci&oacute;n personal con Dios\", es la tercera parte que encuentran dif&iacute;cil de aceptar porque afirma una cierta exclusividad que encuentran desagradable en la cultura actual de pluralismo religioso, posmodernismo y tolerancia. En consecuencia, \"Vemos la gotera de este pozo y de ese manantial surgir una resistencia postmoderna a declarar cierto conjunto de ense&ntilde;anzas religiosas verdaderas\". [5]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Esta forma de pensar tiene enormes implicaciones para el evangelismo y la misi&oacute;n cristiana. El fallecido Wilfred Cantwell Smith, profesor de religi&oacute;n en Harvard, capt&oacute; la esencia de estas implicaciones cuando lo consider&oacute; \". . . moralmente no es posible. salir al mundo y decir a los seres humanos devotos e inteligentes: \"Somos salvos y ustedes est&aacute;n condenados\"; o &lsquo;Creemos que conocemos a Dios y tenemos raz&oacute;n; crees que conoces a Dios y est&aacute;s totalmente equivocado \". [6] Smith llega a llamar tales actividades\" contrarias al esp&iacute;ritu de Cristo \". [7]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>En contraste, sin embargo, no se puede negar que Jesucristo hizo afirmaciones particulares y exclusivas sobre s&iacute; mismo. &Eacute;l ense&ntilde;&oacute;: \"Yo soy el camino de la verdad y la vida, nadie viene al Padre sino por m&iacute;\". [8] Le dijo a la gente que hay un camino \"ancho\" que conduce a la destrucci&oacute;n, ocupado por \"muchos\". y un camino \"angosto\" que conduce a la vida, encontrado por \"pocos\". [9] Dijo que vino \"a buscar y salvar a los perdidos\", [10] presuponiendo que hay personas perdidas necesitadas de &eacute;l. Claramente les dijo a sus seguidores que fueran al mundo entero y hicieran disc&iacute;pulos de panta ta ethne (cada grupo de personas), ense&ntilde;&aacute;ndoles Sus mandamientos. [11] Este decreto implica al menos dos cosas ofensivas para los pluralistas; 1) los individuos de muchos grupos &eacute;tnicos no ser&aacute;n salvos a menos que escuchen el mensaje de Cristo y 2) no todos los sistemas de valores o creencias son aceptables para Cristo, es decir, solo sus mandamientos deben ser obedecidos en &uacute;ltima instancia. Est&aacute; claro que en la autocomprensi&oacute;n de Jes&uacute;s nadie podr&iacute;a tener una relaci&oacute;n adecuada con Dios separados de &Eacute;l. [12]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Mas all&aacute;, los ap&oacute;stoles de Cristo entendieron y continuaron propagando el particularismo de Cristo. Proclamaron y ense&ntilde;aron que \"no hay otro nombre bajo del cielo, dado a los hombres, en que podamos ser salvos\" [13] y que Cristo Jes&uacute;s es el \"&uacute;nico mediador entre Dios y los hombres\". [14] El particularismo siempre ha sido parte de la Mensaje cristiano, y es el legado transmitido a los creyentes actuales.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Para permanecer fieles a Cristo debemos ser particularistas. Harold Netland describe el particularismo de la siguiente manera: &ldquo;incluso cuando se tienen debidamente en cuenta los elementos de verdad, valor y belleza en otras religiones, los particularistas sostienen que, en general, las religiones no cristianas proporcionan una imagen falsa o inexacta de la realidad y que la salvaci&oacute;n no se alcanza a trav&eacute;s de las creencias y pr&aacute;cticas de otras tradiciones religiosas. Central al particularismo son las convicciones de que Dios se ha revelado definitivamente a trav&eacute;s de las Escrituras y la encarnaci&oacute;n, que Jesucristo es el &uacute;nico Salvador para todas las personas en todas las culturas y que las personas deben reconocer y adorar a Jes&uacute;s solamente&rdquo; [15].\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Parece que las personas modernas, ya sean acad&eacute;micos o laicos, en nombre de la tolerancia, est&aacute;n del lado del pluralismo en lugar de cualquier sistema en particular. Este contexto cultural e incluso global requiere que hagamos un caso acumulativo para la plausibilidad de las declaraciones particularistas de Jes&uacute;s y los ap&oacute;stoles, en lugar de simplemente citarlas como autoritativas.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Mi objetivo en este ensayo, entonces, es explicar que las suposiciones de la cosmovisi&oacute;n que permiten a una persona ratificar a la primera y segunda parte de la proposici&oacute;n conducen coherentemente a la tercera afirmaci&oacute;n m&aacute;s particular. Primero tratar&eacute; de demostrar esto a trav&eacute;s de una consideraci&oacute;n de c&oacute;mo los hallazgos cient&iacute;ficos recientes sobre el universo y las preocupaciones humanas existenciales comunes nos obligan a aceptar las dos primeras partes. Entonces, edificando sobre estas suposiciones com&uacute;nmente compartidas, tratar&eacute; de demostrar la coherencia y la plausibilidad de la visi&oacute;n m&aacute;s particular que este mismo Dios desea y permite tal relaci&oacute;n con su creaci&oacute;n humana, y que ha prescrito los t&eacute;rminos de esa relaci&oacute;n, y tiene la prerrogativa de hacerlo, y ha manifestado esos t&eacute;rminos clara y concluyentemente para todos los humanos en la vida y obra de Jesucristo. Si bien este atractivo es principalmente para la gran mayor&iacute;a de las personas que creen en alg&uacute;n tipo de Dios o poder espiritual, ser&aacute; necesario mostrar, brevemente, por qu&eacute; el te&iacute;smo es m&aacute;s sostenible (est&aacute; m&aacute;s a la defensiva) que el naturalismo para discutir el te&iacute;smo cristiano en particular.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Primera parte: hay un Dios. . .\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>El universo fue dise&ntilde;ado pensando en los humanos.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>En general, no vivimos en un universo amigable para los humanos. Sin embargo, nuestro planeta es el &uacute;nico que conocemos que es un magn&iacute;fico sistema de soporte vital. Nuestra atm&oacute;sfera con todos sus gases y capas protectoras hace de este un ambiente rico en ox&iacute;geno, regulado t&eacute;rmicamente para mantener la temperatura en los niveles correctos para que el agua l&iacute;quida caiga y fluya permitiendo que los humanos vivan y prosperen. Nuestra atm&oacute;sfera protectora tambi&eacute;n quema regularmente escombros espaciales y rocas que podr&iacute;an pulverizar la superficie de nuestro planeta y a nosotros con una fuerza letal. Si no fuera por todos estos factores, y las condiciones necesarias de nuestro sistema solar y universo que los hacen posibles, no estar&iacute;amos aqu&iacute;, de hecho, nunca habr&iacute;amos llegado a ser en primer lugar. [16] Parece que no hay una raz&oacute;n real para esperar que la Tierra sea diferente de cualquier otro planeta del sistema solar los cuales tienen ambientes hostiles a la existencia humana. &iquest;Por qu&eacute; la tierra es un sistema de soporte vital tan notable? &iquest;C&oacute;mo lleg&oacute; a ser as&iacute;? Esta es una pregunta antigua que ha provocado suficiente asombro para alimentar la b&uacute;squeda cient&iacute;fica por siglos.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>La gente ha llegado a diferentes conclusiones, por supuesto, sobre el \"por qu&eacute;\" de nuestra existencia y las condiciones que lo hacen posible. El astrof&iacute;sico Paul Davies resume las dos perspectivas b&aacute;sicas en la siguiente pregunta:\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&ldquo;&iquest;Fue creado nuestro universo en un estado muy especial, cuidadosamente dise&ntilde;ado para que, en la plenitud del tiempo, la vida y, finalmente, la mente floreciese para maravillarse de &eacute;l? &iquest;O vivimos en medio de un accidente monstruoso y sin sentido, una erupci&oacute;n c&oacute;smica de la nada que ha ocurrido puramente al azar? Seguramente no puede haber una tarea m&aacute;s apremiante para el cosm&oacute;logo de hoy que abordar esa cuesti&oacute;n central de la existencia \"[17].\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Por lo tanto, en respuesta a la pregunta \"por qu&eacute;\", hay dos respuestas b&aacute;sicas. Una, no hay \"por qu&eacute;\" o raz&oacute;n, simplemente sucedi&oacute; y aqu&iacute; estamos, o, dos, todo est&aacute; aqu&iacute; por dise&ntilde;o. Estas sugerencias parecen polarizar claramente las opciones sobre c&oacute;mo surgi&oacute; el universo. Jacques Monod se ha alineado con la posici&oacute;n anterior de la falta de sentido al afirmar que \"el hombre sabe por fin que est&aacute; solo en la inmensidad insensible del universo, de la cual emergi&oacute; solo por casualidad\". [18] Esta posici&oacute;n no parece ser cient&iacute;ficamente sustentable, ni existencialmente satisfactorio.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Por ejemplo, Patrick Glynn, profesor de la Universidad George Washington, se ha puesto del lado de esta &uacute;ltima posici&oacute;n. De particular inter&eacute;s con el trabajo de Glynn es su historia personal de haber venido de la conclusi&oacute;n anterior de la falta de sentido a su posici&oacute;n actual de que Dios cre&oacute; el universo. [19] Esto fue, como describe en su libro, un gran cambio de paradigma, ya que lo llev&oacute; del nihilismo ateo a una posici&oacute;n de fe te&iacute;sta. Al describir la b&uacute;squeda que lo llev&oacute; al te&iacute;smo, escribe: &ldquo;Poco a poco me di cuenta de que en los veinte a&ntilde;os transcurridos desde que opt&eacute; por el ate&iacute;smo filos&oacute;fico, hab&iacute;a surgido una vasta literatura sistem&aacute;tica que no solo hab&iacute;a arrojado dudas profundas, sino tambi&eacute;n, desde cualquier perspectiva razonable, efectivamente refut&oacute; mi perspectiva atea &rdquo;. [20] Glynn describe c&oacute;mo este cambio de paradigma se produjo para &eacute;l, especialmente con respecto al tema del dise&ntilde;o del universo. &Eacute;l escribe: &ldquo;Los pensadores modernos asumen que la ciencia revelar&iacute;a que el universo es cada vez m&aacute;s aleatorio y mec&aacute;nico; en cambio, ha descubierto nuevas capas inesperadas de intrincado orden que muestran un dise&ntilde;o maestro casi inimaginablemente vasto \". [21]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&nbsp;Ese descubrimiento cient&iacute;fico al que se refiere Glynn ha sido llamado el principio antr&oacute;pico. Surgi&oacute; a principios de la d&eacute;cada de 1970 y ha estado ganando impulso dentro de la comunidad cient&iacute;fica durante casi treinta a&ntilde;os. Seg&uacute;n Glynn, el principio antr&oacute;pico afirma esencialmente que &ldquo;todas las constantes aparentemente arbitrarias y no relacionadas en f&iacute;sica tienen una cosa extra&ntilde;a en com&uacute;n. - estos son precisamente los valores que necesita si desea tener un universo capaz de producir vida \". [22] Adem&aacute;s,\". . . Todas las innumerables leyes de la f&iacute;sica se afinaron desde el principio del universo para la creaci&oacute;n del hombre: que el universo en el que vivimos parec&iacute;a estar dise&ntilde;ado expresamente para la aparici&oacute;n de los seres humanos \". [23]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Con respecto a la cuesti&oacute;n del orden notable del universo mismo, las explicaciones puramente naturalistas y materialistas dejan demasiado en cuenta para satisfacer el intelecto o la psique. Me resulta dif&iacute;cil aceptar cognitiva y existencialmente que todo este universo, la tierra y sus habitantes son un producto accidental de energ&iacute;a sin sentido que act&uacute;a por casualidad sobre la materia inanimada. Sugerir esto es tan irracional para m&iacute; como sugerir que la computadora en la que escribo este ensayo es el producto accidental de la no inteligencia que acaba de surgir durante largos per&iacute;odos de tiempo por pura casualidad en su forma actual y compleja. La computadora fue creada a prop&oacute;sito, y la inteligencia tuvo que planificar y organizar la delicada interrelaci&oacute;n de sus partes constituyentes. Estoy de acuerdo con el fil&oacute;sofo Richard Swinburne, quien escribe: \"La existencia del orden en el universo aumenta significativamente la probabilidad de que haya un Dios\". [24] Y cuanto m&aacute;s se entiende; El principio antr&oacute;pico provoca un universo programado con un orden incre&iacute;ble.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Quiz&aacute;s esto es parte de la raz&oacute;n por la cual la mayor&iacute;a de las personas son te&iacute;stas de alg&uacute;n tipo, o al menos entretienen la probabilidad de alg&uacute;n tipo de Mente detr&aacute;s del universo. De hecho, esta reestructuraci&oacute;n contempor&aacute;nea del antiguo argumento teleol&oacute;gico hace que la existencia de Dios sea mucho m&aacute;s plausible para muchos cient&iacute;ficos y fil&oacute;sofos que est&aacute;n considerando al menos una visi&oacute;n te&iacute;sta rudimentaria del cosmos.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Davies, por ejemplo, explica: &ldquo;Traducido al contexto cosmol&oacute;gico, el enigma es este. Si el universo es simplemente un accidente, las posibilidades en contra que contengan cualquier orden apreciable son rid&iacute;culamente peque&ntilde;as \". [25] A&ntilde;ade,\". . . Parece dif&iacute;cil escapar de la conclusi&oacute;n de que el estado real del universo ha sido \"elegido\" o seleccionado. . \". [26] Davies hace la siguiente conclusi&oacute;n con respecto al principio antr&oacute;pico del dise&ntilde;o,\" la concurrencia aparentemente milagrosa de valores num&eacute;ricos que la naturaleza ha asignado a sus constantes fundamentales debe seguir siendo la evidencia m&aacute;s convincente para un elemento de dise&ntilde;o c&oacute;smico \". 27]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>El f&iacute;sico y erudito hebreo Gerald L. Schroeder, quien se identifica a s&iacute; mismo como miembro del \"equipo del adversario\" durante a&ntilde;os como cient&iacute;fico del MIT, ha llegado a la posici&oacute;n de que el universo lleg&oacute; a ser exactamente como lo dice la Biblia. Dios lo cre&oacute;. &Eacute;l, como Glynn y Davies, ve el dise&ntilde;o antr&oacute;pico como aquel en el que las variables f&iacute;sicas del universo \"est&aacute;n tan precisamente equilibradas hacia las necesidades de la vida que el universo parece dise&ntilde;ado para la vida\". [28]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Ian Barbour ha resumido el concepto del principio antr&oacute;pico ya que ha impactado a la comunidad cient&iacute;fica de la siguiente manera: \"Los astrof&iacute;sicos han descubierto que la vida en el universo habr&iacute;a sido imposible si algunas de las constantes f&iacute;sicas y otras condiciones en el universo primitivo hubieran diferido incluso ligeramente de los valores que ten&iacute;an. El universo parece estar tan \"ajustado\" para la posibilidad de la vida \". [29]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&Eacute;l mismo Hugh Ross, cient&iacute;fico y esc&eacute;ptico profundo de la Biblia hasta que la estudi&oacute; desde un punto de vista cient&iacute;fico, dice esto: \"treinta y cinco a&ntilde;os de investigaci&oacute;n sobre el Principio Antr&oacute;pico (la tendencia del universo de proporcionar todas las necesidades para la vida y el sustento humanos) ha construido un cuerpo de evidencia en expansi&oacute;n, en lugar de disminuir, para el dise&ntilde;o divino \". [30]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Estos datos cient&iacute;ficos no prueban la existencia de Dios m&aacute;s all&aacute; de toda duda, seguramente, pero proporcionan datos amplios para al menos decir que hace que la creencia en un creador inteligente sea m&aacute;s loable. Sin embargo, el principio antr&oacute;pico nos lleva m&aacute;s all&aacute; del argumento teleol&oacute;gico b&aacute;sico para la existencia de Dios, ya que nos lleva m&aacute;s all&aacute; del fen&oacute;meno del dise&ntilde;o para considerar el prop&oacute;sito real del dise&ntilde;o. El universo fue creado de la manera que fue para que la vida, y especialmente la vida humana, pudiera emerger y florecer.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>El principio antr&oacute;pico no solo tiene que ver con c&oacute;mo fue creado el universo, sino tambi&eacute;n con c&oacute;mo se mantiene unido y hace posible la vida todos los d&iacute;as. Por lo tanto, se&ntilde;ala la conclusi&oacute;n te&iacute;sta, aceptada por la mayor&iacute;a, de que hay un Dios que de alguna manera se interesa continuamente en su creaci&oacute;n, especialmente en la humanidad, al establecer y mantener todas estas constantes f&iacute;sicas que son necesarias para mantener nuestras vidas en este planeta. De all&iacute; podemos concluir que Dios no solo se interesa en nuestro bienestar f&iacute;sico, sino tambi&eacute;n en nuestro bienestar espiritual como personas que anhelan el significado, la verdad y el amor. La idea antr&oacute;pica nos da dos pistas notables que conducen al descubrimiento sobre la verdad de nuestras vidas espirituales. Primero; Dios establece las condiciones para nuestra existencia como humanos, y, en segundo lugar; Dios se preocupa por nuestro bienestar total; es decir, Dios se preocupa por nosotros como seres tanto f&iacute;sicos como espirituales.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Estemos de acuerdo o no con el arreglo, es irrelevante. Si, como humanos, vamos a sobrevivir y prosperar en un sentido f&iacute;sico, debemos permanecer dentro de los par&aacute;metros de las condiciones f&iacute;sicas que se han ordenado para nuestro bienestar f&iacute;sico en este universo y en este planeta. Si queremos vivir, debemos ordenar nuestras vidas de acuerdo con lo que se nos ha establecido; si no lo hacemos, sufriremos, o incluso pereceremos. [31]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Parecer&iacute;a l&oacute;gico que esperamos nada menos en el &aacute;mbito espiritual de nuestra existencia; es decir, que Dios ha ordenado condiciones espec&iacute;ficas para nuestra existencia espiritual dentro de las cuales debemos vivir para florecer. Si no lo hacemos, sufriremos espiritualmente. Esta &uacute;ltima sugerencia, sobre las condiciones espirituales para la vida, parece necesaria ya que no es coherente hablar de un Dios que ha organizado este notable universo con el potencial para que la vida humana florezca en este planeta, y que luego ya no le importe m&aacute;s si realmente sobrevivimos y prosperamos. Dios no nos ha creado como seres con necesidades meramente f&iacute;sicas, sino tambi&eacute;n seres con necesidades no materiales como el amor, el significado, la justicia, la igualdad y la verdad. No podemos florecer sin estos, tanto como no podemos florecer sin agua l&iacute;quida. Por lo tanto, as&iacute; como no nos resistir&iacute;amos a la prerrogativa de Dios de ordenar las condiciones f&iacute;sicas para nuestra supervivencia y prosperidad como humanos, ser&iacute;a una tonter&iacute;a sugerir que esta misma prerrogativa no se extiende al &aacute;mbito espiritual de nuestra existencia. [32]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Existe un nexo entre la creencia te&iacute;sta de que Dios ha establecido las condiciones f&iacute;sicas para nuestra existencia y la creencia de que Dios tambi&eacute;n ha establecido las condiciones para nuestro bienestar espiritual. Tambi&eacute;n hay buenas razones para creer que Dios nos las ha comunicado claramente, y que esta comunicaci&oacute;n converge en la vida y el ministerio &uacute;nicos de Jesucristo. Sin embargo, para llegar all&iacute;, es esencial aferrarnos a algunas de las preguntas m&aacute;s existenciales o espirituales de inter&eacute;s humano, verbigracia, identidad, significado y moralidad. Con esto, surgir&aacute; el paradigma de la relaci&oacute;n como la matriz que da coherencia a todas estas otras preocupaciones existenciales de la vida humana. Es este paradigma el que se&ntilde;ala la forma definitiva en que Dios ha establecido las condiciones para que los humanos entren en una relaci&oacute;n con &Eacute;l. [33]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>La b&uacute;squeda de identidad, dignidad y significado.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&iquest;Qu&eacute; significa ser humano? &iquest;Somos simplemente una masa de mol&eacute;culas sin sentido que finalmente no tiene ning&uacute;n prop&oacute;sito, o la cuidadosa afinaci&oacute;n del universo se extiende tambi&eacute;n a los seres humanos? &iquest;La vida humana tiene un valor intr&iacute;nseco? &iquest;Es la raza humana realmente importante y vale la pena preservarla? Fue la reflexi&oacute;n sobre tales preguntas lo que llev&oacute; al conde Leo Tolstoi a reflexionar profundamente sobre el prop&oacute;sito de su propia existencia, quien, cuando ten&iacute;a alrededor de 50 a&ntilde;os, estaba en busca del \"por qu&eacute;\" de su vida. &Eacute;l vio que una visi&oacute;n materialista de la vida era enemiga del significado en la vida al afirmar: \"Quiero saber el significado de mi vida, pero el hecho de que sea una part&iacute;cula del infinito no solo no le da ning&uacute;n significado, sino que destruye todos los posibles significados&rdquo;. [34] Consider&oacute; su situaci&oacute;n &ldquo;est&uacute;pida y desesperada&rdquo; [35] cuanto m&aacute;s trataba de evitar las consecuencias emocionales de una visi&oacute;n materialista del cosmos, m&aacute;s se desesperaba. La cuesti&oacute;n del significado continu&oacute; \"arrest&aacute;ndolo\" hasta el punto de que \"tuve que usar la astucia contra m&iacute; mismo para no quitarme la vida\". [36] Finalmente, Tolstoi encontr&oacute; este significado que buscaba en la fe cristiana. Glynn, mencionado anteriormente como resultado de una visi&oacute;n nihilista de la vida, hace el siguiente comentario en relaci&oacute;n con esta preocupaci&oacute;n existencial: &ldquo;no hay nada estable en la visi&oacute;n posmoderna como lugar de descanso para la conciencia humana. La mente puede insistir en estas proposiciones incr&eacute;dulas, pero a la larga el coraz&oacute;n no las tolerar&aacute;&rdquo; [37]. Esta resistencia emocional al ate&iacute;smo solo parece apuntar a una realidad espiritual m&aacute;s profunda.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>La cuesti&oacute;n de la identidad est&aacute; inextricablemente entretejida con la cuesti&oacute;n del significado, ya que parecer&iacute;a que, si toda la realidad no fuera m&aacute;s que materia, entonces nada realmente importar&iacute;a en absoluto. Mientras que los humanistas generalmente afirman la \"preciosidad y dignidad de la persona individual\", [38] algunos humanistas pueden ver a trav&eacute;s de esto como un \"salto de fe\" ateo. Por ejemplo, un humanista ha observado astutamente: \"Necesitamos mitigar la verdad si debemos permanecer razonablemente cuerdos. De hecho, una persona verdaderamente sensata [cuerda] ser&iacute;a socialmente loca. Funcionalmente, la cordura significa ser enga&ntilde;ado lo suficiente como para creer que vale la pena vivir la vida y que la raza humana vale la pena preservarla&rdquo;. [39] En otras palabras, la cordura es el resultado de la simulaci&oacute;n; dici&eacute;ndote a ti mismo que vale la pena vivir la vida, cuando la dolorosa verdad es, no lo es. Ravi Zacharias ha desafiado la asunci&oacute;n subyacente de dignidad en el humanismo al preguntar: \"Entonces, &iquest;de d&oacute;nde viene la dignidad humana?\". Concluye: \"No hay forma de inventarla o de hacerla cumplir; La dignidad humana debe ser esencial&rdquo;. [40] En ausencia de un valor humano intr&iacute;nseco, no nos queda m&aacute;s que astucia contra nosotros mismos para mantener una apariencia de cordura y convencernos de continuar, aunque realmente no valga la pena. Parece que las palabras de ese humanista, tan oscuras como parecen, demuestran una sed interna universal en el alma humana para ver la vida como significativa. Incluso &eacute;l sugerir&iacute;a que todos nos esforzamos por enga&ntilde;arnos a nosotros mismos para ser \"cuerdos\" y, por lo tanto, disfrutar al menos de la ilusi&oacute;n de significado y proteger al resto de la sociedad, es decir, de alguna manera preocuparnos por los dem&aacute;s. El humanismo no podr&iacute;a funcionar si al menos no se mantuviera la ilusi&oacute;n de la dignidad humana.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Una parte integral de la pregunta del significado es la cuesti&oacute;n del amor y las relaciones humanas. &iquest;Hay alg&uacute;n significado final para los lazos que formamos entre nosotros? No es casualidad que casi cualquier canci&oacute;n que se escucha sea una canci&oacute;n de amor, y las pel&iacute;culas m&aacute;s memorables profundizan en cuestiones de amor y relaciones humanas. Los humanos necesitamos amor. Sin &eacute;l, nos enfermar&iacute;amos psicol&oacute;gicamente y, a veces, incluso f&iacute;sicamente. Las emociones que acompa&ntilde;an al amor, como el afecto, la anticipaci&oacute;n del reencuentro, el dolor por la p&eacute;rdida de un \"ser querido\" y la compasi&oacute;n por los d&eacute;biles y enfermos son dif&iacute;ciles de explicar en un marco materialista. Las emociones humanas m&aacute;s complejas, como las que acabamos de enumerar, as&iacute; como la culpa (inquietud por el mal hacer percibido), el temor (miedo a lo numinoso y lo desconocido) y el asombro (una sensaci&oacute;n de asombro ante los misterios de la vida), parecen apuntan a un nivel superior de ser, que es una fuente trascendente y un objeto para las emociones humanas que a su vez corresponde a la afirmaci&oacute;n de ese valor objetivo. El fil&oacute;sofo Robert Nozik concluye lo siguiente acerca de la estructura emocional de la existencia humana: \"para los prop&oacute;sitos actuales solo necesitamos suponer que el valor no es solo una cuesti&oacute;n de opini&oacute;n, que est&aacute; \"all&iacute; \"y tiene su propia naturaleza. Nuestra sugerencia actual es que las emociones son una respuesta al valor (cualquiera que pudiera ser la teor&iacute;a correcta del valor intr&iacute;nseco objetivo ) &rdquo;[41].\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Los humanos tenemos una tendencia intuitiva a valorar a los dem&aacute;s y a nosotros mismos. A trav&eacute;s de la observaci&oacute;n y la experiencia, se hace r&aacute;pidamente evidente que el aspecto espiritual o no material de nuestras vidas, se sustenta por, entre otras cosas, el amor y las relaciones interpersonales, especialmente aquellas en las que sabemos que somos amados incondicionalmente; es decir, no amamos por lo que hacemos o hemos logrado, sino simplemente amamos por ser la persona que somos. Sin el conocimiento de que somos tan amados, como se mencion&oacute; anteriormente, terminamos en un estado de enfermedad psicol&oacute;gica que sofoca nuestra prosperidad personal en la vida. Tambi&eacute;n parece esencial para nuestro bienestar espiritual no solo que recibamos este amor incondicional, sino tambi&eacute;n que lo correspondamos.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&iquest;Podr&iacute;a ser que, ir&oacute;nicamente, lo que subjetivamente sentimos apunta a lo que es objetivamente real?

En este punto, se podr&iacute;a decir que Dios no ha revelado especialmente nada al hombre sobre el funcionamiento f&iacute;sico del universo, sino que ha dejado a la humanidad para que lo descubra por su cuenta. Luego de esto, entonces, ser&iacute;a la pregunta de por qu&eacute; deber&iacute;amos esperar algo especial en t&eacute;rminos de su orden espiritual de las cosas. Una respuesta a esta cr&iacute;tica tendr&iacute;a que incluir, en parte, la idea de que nuestra naturaleza espiritual y sus ramificaciones son mucho m&aacute;s preocupantes. Si bien podemos morir bebiendo veneno que a&uacute;n no hemos aprendido es veneno, morir sin haber tenido una relaci&oacute;n adecuada con Dios tiene consecuencias mucho m&aacute;s graves y eternas.

La experiencia emocional humana se ha vuelto cada vez m&aacute;s fascinante para m&iacute;. Lo veo como un indicador muy poderoso del valor objetivo y la validaci&oacute;n del te&iacute;smo b&iacute;blico como la verdad. Por ejemplo, las reflexiones recientes han llevado a algunas de las siguientes ideas. Se puede argumentar que, dada la selecci&oacute;n natural y la \"supervivencia del m&aacute;s apto\" de la evoluci&oacute;n naturalista, muchas de las emociones que este proceso sin sentido nos ha legado casi parecen contraproducentes. La culpa, por ejemplo, no encaja realmente en un marco de \"supervivencia del m&aacute;s apto\", pero de hecho parece contraproducente, ni la compasi&oacute;n por los d&eacute;biles y los menos afortunados. Deber&iacute;amos ser capaces de dejar sin culpa a nuestros d&eacute;biles para que mueran, o incluso matarlos, y si elegimos no hacerlo, ciertamente no deber&iacute;amos molestarnos con aquellos que llevan esta &eacute;tica de \"poder hacer lo correcto\" en su extremo mortal. Uno podr&iacute;a objetar que la conciencia culpable es simplemente el producto de la crianza de los hijos y la socializaci&oacute;n, pero esta respuesta dif&iacute;cilmente explica la capacidad misma que tenemos para tales sentimientos. Adem&aacute;s, &iquest;por qu&eacute; deber&iacute;amos tener una sensaci&oacute;n de asombro sobre el universo y los misterios de la vida, si todo lo que estamos aqu&iacute; es sobrevivir? En el mundo animal, no vemos temor, definido aqu&iacute; como miedo a lo desconocido, sino m&aacute;s bien miedo a lo que se percibe. Los humanos temen no solo lo percibido, sino tambi&eacute;n lo concebido, especialmente lo que sucede despu&eacute;s de que morimos. Peculiar si todo lo que somos son masas de mol&eacute;culas sin sentido. Las emociones necesarias para sobrevivir parecen ser ira, miedo y lujuria, m&iacute;nimamente. Pero incluso si uno dice que estas emociones evolucionaron para ayudarnos a sobrevivir, necesariamente traer&aacute;n dise&ntilde;o o prop&oacute;sito a la imagen.

Cela conduit alors à l’idée qu’on ne doit jamais suggérer que sa propre manière d’entrer en relation avec Dieu est meilleure que celle de quiconque.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tandis que la plupart des modernes et même des théistes souscriraient à la première, et peut-être même à la deuxième partie de la proposition&nbsp;; «&nbsp;Il y a un Dieu et les humains peuvent avoir une relation personnelle avec Dieu&nbsp;», c’est la troisième partie qu’ils trouvent difficile à accepter parce qu’elle revendique une certaine exclusivité qu’ils trouvent inacceptable dans la culture actuelle du pluralisme religieux, du postmodernisme et de la tolérance.&nbsp; Par conséquent, «&nbsp;Nous voyons dans le fait de puiser à ce puits et à cette source une résistance postmoderne à déclarer qu’un ensemble d’enseignements religieux est vrai&nbsp;».[5]&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cette façon de penser a des implications énormes pour l’évangélisation et la mission chrétienne.&nbsp; Le regretté Wilfred Cantwell Smith, professeur de religion à Harvard, a saisi l’essence de ces implications lorsqu’il considérait qu’il était «&nbsp;… moralement impossible … d’aller dans le monde et de dire à des êtres humains pieux et intelligents&nbsp;: “Nous sommes sauvés, et vous êtes damnés”&nbsp;; ou, “Nous croyons que nous connaissons Dieu, et nous avons raison&nbsp;; vous croyez que vous connaissez Dieu et vous avez totalement tort”&nbsp;».[6]&nbsp; Smith va jusqu’à qualifier de telles activités de «&nbsp;contraires à l’esprit du Christ&nbsp;».[7]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En revanche, cependant, on ne peut nier que Jésus-Christ a fait des affirmations particulières et exclusives sur lui-même.&nbsp; Il a enseigné&nbsp;: «&nbsp;Je suis le chemin, la vérité et la vie,&nbsp;\u003Cem>personne\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;ne vient au Père&nbsp;\u003Cem>si ce n’est\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;par moi&nbsp;».[8]&nbsp;Il a dit aux gens qu’il y a une route «&nbsp;large&nbsp;» qui mène à la perdition, occupée par «&nbsp;\u003Cem>beaucoup\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;», et une route «&nbsp;étroite&nbsp;» qui mène à la vie, trouvée par «&nbsp;\u003Cem>peu\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;».[9]&nbsp;&nbsp;Il a dit qu’Il est venu «&nbsp;chercher et sauver ce qui était perdu&nbsp;»,[10]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;présupposant qu’il y a des gens&nbsp;\u003Cem>perdus\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;qui ont besoin de Lui.&nbsp; Il a clairement dit à ses disciples d’aller dans le monde entier et de faire des disciples de&nbsp;\u003Cem>panta ta ethne (\u003C\u002Fem>tous les peuples), en leur enseignant&nbsp;\u003Cem>Ses\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;commandements.[11]&nbsp; Ce décret implique au moins deux choses offensantes pour les pluralistes&nbsp;; 1) les individus de nombreux groupes ethniques ne seront pas sauvés&nbsp;\u003Cem>à moins\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;qu’ils n’entendent le message du&nbsp;\u003Cem>Christ\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;et 2) tous les systèmes de valeurs ou croyances ne sont pas acceptables pour le Christ, c’est-à-dire que seules&nbsp;\u003Cem>Ses&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>commandes doivent finalement être obéies.&nbsp; Il est clair que dans la compréhension que Jésus avait de lui-même, personne ne pouvait avoir une relation appropriée avec Dieu en dehors de Lui.[12]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>De plus, les apôtres du Christ ont compris et ont continué à&nbsp;propager le particularisme du Christ lui-même.

Notre atmosphère protectrice brûle également régulièrement les débris spatiaux et les roches qui pourraient pulvériser la surface de notre planète, et nous, avec une force mortelle.&nbsp; Sans tous ces facteurs et les conditions nécessaires de notre système solaire et de l’univers qui les rendent possibles, nous ne serions pas là, en fait nous n’aurions jamais existé en premier lieu.[16]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Il ne semble y avoir aucune raison réelle de s’attendre à ce que la Terre soit différente des autres planètes du système solaire, qui ont toutes des environnements hostiles à l’existence humaine.&nbsp; Pourquoi la Terre est-elle un système de soutien à la vie aussi remarquable&nbsp;?

Premièrement, il n’y a pas de «&nbsp;pourquoi&nbsp;» ni de raison, cela s’est simplement produit et nous voilà, ou, deuxièmement, tout cela est là par dessein. Ces suggestions semblent clairement polariser les options quant à la manière dont l’univers est venu à l’existence.&nbsp; Jacques Monod s’est aligné sur la première position du non-sens en déclarant que «&nbsp;L’homme sait enfin qu’il est seul dans l’immensité insensible de l’univers, d’où il n’a émergé que par hasard.&nbsp;»[18] Cette position ne semble ni scientifiquement défendable ni existentiellement satisfaisante.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Par exemple, Patrick Glynn, professeur à l’Université George Washington, s’est rangé du côté de la seconde position.&nbsp; Ce qui est particulièrement intéressant dans le travail de Glynn, c’est son histoire personnelle&nbsp;: il est passé de la première conclusion du non-sens à sa position actuelle selon laquelle Dieu a créé l’univers.[19]&nbsp;C’était, comme il le décrit dans son livre, un énorme changement de paradigme, car cela l’a fait passer du nihilisme athée à une position de foi théiste.&nbsp; En décrivant la quête qui l’a conduit au théisme, il écrit&nbsp;: «&nbsp;J’ai progressivement réalisé que, dans les vingt années qui ont suivi mon choix de l’athéisme philosophique, une vaste littérature systématique avait émergé qui avait non seulement jeté un doute profond sur ma vision athée, mais l’avait aussi, d’un point de vue raisonnable, efficacement réfutée.&nbsp;»[20]&nbsp; Glynn décrit comment ce changement de paradigme s’est produit pour lui, notamment en ce qui concerne la question du dessein de l’univers.&nbsp; Il écrit&nbsp;: «&nbsp;Les penseurs modernes supposaient que la science révélerait un univers de plus en plus aléatoire et mécanique&nbsp;; au lieu de cela, elle a découvert de nouvelles couches inattendues d’ordre complexe qui témoignent d’un dessein maître presque inimaginablement vaste.&nbsp;»[21]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cette découverte scientifique à laquelle Glynn fait référence a été appelée le&nbsp;\u003Cem>principe anthropique\u003C\u002Fem>.&nbsp; Il a émergé au début des années 1970 et gagne en influence au sein de la communauté scientifique depuis près de trente ans.&nbsp; Selon Glynn, le principe anthropique affirme essentiellement que «&nbsp;toutes les constantes apparemment arbitraires et sans lien entre elles en physique ont une chose étrange en commun. – ce sont précisément les valeurs dont vous avez besoin si vous voulez un univers capable de produire la vie&nbsp;»[22].&nbsp; En outre, «&nbsp;. . . toutes les lois innombrables de la physique ont été finement réglées dès le tout début de l’univers pour la création de l’homme – que l’univers que nous habitons semble avoir été expressément conçu pour l’émergence des êtres humains&nbsp;»[23].&nbsp; &nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En ce qui concerne la question de l’ordre remarquable de l’univers lui-même, les explications purement naturalistes et matérialistes laissent trop de choses inexpliquées pour satisfaire l’intellect ou la psyché. &nbsp;J’ai du mal, tant sur le plan cognitif qu’existentiel, à accepter que cet univers tout entier, la Terre et ses habitants soient le produit accidentel d’une énergie sans intelligence agissant par hasard sur de la matière inanimée.&nbsp; Suggérer cela me paraît aussi déraisonnable que de prétendre que l’ordinateur sur lequel je tape cet essai est le produit accidentel d’une non-intelligence qui aurait émergé sur de longues périodes par pur hasard dans sa forme actuelle et complexe.&nbsp; L’ordinateur a été créé intentionnellement, et une intelligence a dû planifier et organiser l’interdépendance délicate de ses composants.&nbsp; Je suis d’accord avec le philosophe Richard Swinburne qui écrit&nbsp;: «&nbsp;L’existence de l’ordre dans l’univers augmente significativement la probabilité qu’il y ait un Dieu&nbsp;»[24]. Et plus on le comprend, plus le principe anthropique révèle un univers programmé avec un ordre incroyable.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>C’est peut-être en partie la raison pour laquelle la plupart des gens sont théistes d’une certaine manière, ou du moins envisagent la probabilité d’une sorte d’Esprit derrière l’univers.&nbsp; En fait, cette restructuration contemporaine de l’argument téléologique ancestral rend l’existence de Dieu beaucoup plus plausible pour de nombreux scientifiques et philosophes qui envisagent au moins une vision théiste rudimentaire du cosmos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Davies, par exemple, explique&nbsp;: «&nbsp;Traduit dans un contexte cosmologique, l’énigme est la suivante.&nbsp; Si l’univers est simplement un accident, les chances qu’il contienne un ordre appréciable sont ridiculement faibles&nbsp;»[25].&nbsp; Il ajoute&nbsp;: «&nbsp;. . . il semble difficile d’échapper à la conclusion que l’état actuel de l’univers a été «&nbsp;choisi&nbsp;» ou sélectionné. . .&nbsp;»[26]&nbsp; Davies tire la conclusion suivante concernant le principe anthropique du design&nbsp;: «&nbsp;la concordance apparemment miraculeuse des valeurs numériques que la nature a attribuées à ses constantes fondamentales doit rester la preuve la plus convaincante d’un élément de design cosmique&nbsp;»[27].\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le physicien et hébraïsant Gerald L. Schroeder, qui s’identifie comme ayant été dans «&nbsp;l’équipe adverse&nbsp;» pendant des années en tant que scientifique du MIT, est parvenu à la position selon laquelle l’univers est devenu exactement tel que la Bible l’affirme.&nbsp; Dieu l’a créé.&nbsp; Lui, comme Glynn et Davies, voit le design anthropique comme celui dans lequel les variables physiques de l’univers «&nbsp;sont si précisément équilibrées en fonction des besoins de la vie que l’univers semble conçu pour la vie&nbsp;»[28].\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ian Barbour a résumé le concept du principe anthropique tel qu’il a influencé la communauté scientifique comme suit&nbsp;: «&nbsp;Les astrophysiciens ont découvert que la vie dans l’univers aurait été impossible si certaines des constantes physiques et d’autres conditions de l’univers primitif avaient différé même légèrement des valeurs qu’elles avaient.&nbsp; L’univers semble être si «&nbsp;finement réglé&nbsp;» pour la possibilité de la vie&nbsp;»[29].\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hugh Ross, lui-même scientifique et sceptique profond de la Bible jusqu’à ce qu’il l’étudie d’un point de vue scientifique, déclare&nbsp;: «&nbsp;trente-cinq ans de recherche sur le Principe Anthropique (la tendance de l’univers à fournir tout ce qui est nécessaire à la vie et à la subsistance humaines) ont construit un corpus de preuves de plus en plus important, plutôt que diminuant, en faveur d’un design divin&nbsp;»[30].\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ces données scientifiques ne prouvent pas l’existence de Dieu au-delà de tout doute, certes, mais elles fournissent suffisamment de données pour dire au moins que cela rend la croyance en un créateur intelligent plus plausible.&nbsp; Le principe anthropique, cependant, nous fait aller au-delà de l’argument téléologique de base pour l’existence de Dieu, car il nous fait aller au-delà du phénomène du design pour considérer le but réel du design.&nbsp; L’univers a été créé tel qu’il est afin que la vie, et surtout la vie humaine, puisse émerger et s’épanouir.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le principe anthropique ne concerne pas seulement la manière dont l’univers a été assemblé, mais aussi la manière dont il&nbsp;\u003Cem>reste&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>assemblé et rend la vie possible chaque jour.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ainsi, il pointe vers la conclusion théiste, acceptée par la plupart, qu’il existe un Dieu qui s’intéresse d’une certaine manière continuellement à sa création, en particulier à l’humanité, en mettant en place et en maintenant toutes ces constantes physiques nécessaires pour soutenir nos vies sur cette planète. De là, nous pouvons conclure que non seulement ce Dieu s’intéresse à notre bien-être physique, mais aussi à notre bien-être spirituel en tant que personnes aspirant au sens, à la vérité et à l’amour. &nbsp;L’idée anthropique nous donne deux indices remarquables menant à la découverte de la vérité sur nos vies spirituelles.&nbsp; Premièrement, Dieu établit les conditions de notre existence en tant qu’êtres humains, et deuxièmement, Dieu se soucie de notre bien-être total&nbsp;; c’est-à-dire que Dieu se soucie de nous en tant qu’êtres à la fois physiques et spirituels.&nbsp;Que nous soyons d’accord avec cet arrangement ou non n’a aucune importance.&nbsp; Si nous voulons, en tant qu’êtres humains, survivre et prospérer sur le plan physique, nous devons rester dans les limites des conditions physiques qui ont été établies pour notre bien-être physique dans cet univers et sur cette planète.&nbsp; Si nous voulons vivre, nous devons ordonner notre vie selon ce qui a été mis en place pour nous&nbsp;; sinon, nous souffrirons, ou même périrons.[31]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il semblerait logique que nous n’attendions rien de moins dans le domaine spirituel de notre existence&nbsp;; c’est-à-dire que Dieu a établi des conditions spécifiques pour notre existence spirituelle, conditions dans lesquelles nous devons vivre pour prospérer.&nbsp; Si nous ne le faisons pas, nous souffrirons spirituellement.&nbsp; Cette dernière suggestion, concernant les conditions spirituelles de la vie, semble nécessaire, car il n’est pas cohérent de parler d’un Dieu qui a arrangé cet univers remarquable avec le potentiel pour la vie humaine de prospérer sur cette planète, et qui ne se soucie plus ensuite que nous survivions et prospérions réellement.&nbsp; Dieu ne nous a pas créés comme des êtres ayant seulement des besoins physiques, mais aussi comme des êtres ayant des besoins non matériels tels que l’amour, le sens, la justice, l’égalité et la vérité. Nous ne pouvons pas prospérer sans ces éléments, tout autant que nous ne pouvons pas prospérer sans eau liquide. Par conséquent, de même que nous n’hésiterions pas à reconnaître le droit de Dieu d’ordonner les conditions physiques de notre survie et de notre épanouissement en tant qu’êtres humains, il serait insensé de suggérer que ce même droit ne s’étend pas au domaine spirituel de notre existence.[32]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il existe un lien entre la croyance théiste selon laquelle Dieu a établi les conditions physiques de notre existence et la croyance selon laquelle Dieu a également établi les conditions de notre bien-être spirituel.&nbsp;&nbsp; Il y a également de bonnes raisons de croire que Dieu nous les a clairement communiquées, et que cette communication converge dans la vie et le ministère uniques de Jésus-Christ.&nbsp; Pour y parvenir, cependant, il est essentiel d’aborder certaines des questions existentielles ou spirituelles plus profondes qui préoccupent l’être humain, à savoir l’identité, le sens et la morale.&nbsp; C’est ainsi que le paradigme de la relation, en tant que matrice apportant une cohérence à toutes ces autres préoccupations existentielles de la vie humaine, émergera.&nbsp; C’est ce paradigme qui indique la manière définitive dont Dieu a établi les conditions permettant aux humains d’entrer en relation avec Lui.[33] &nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>La recherche de l’identité,&nbsp;de la dignité et du sens\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Que signifie être humain&nbsp;?&nbsp; Sommes-nous simplement une masse insignifiante de molécules qui, en fin de compte, n’a aucun but, ou le réglage minutieux de l’univers s’étend-il également aux êtres humains&nbsp;?&nbsp; La vie humaine a-t-elle une valeur&nbsp;\u003Cem>intrinsèque\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;?&nbsp; La race humaine est-elle vraiment importante et mérite-t-elle d’être préservée&nbsp;?&nbsp; Ce sont des réflexions sur de telles questions qui ont conduit le comte Léon Tolstoï à méditer profondément sur le but de sa propre existence, lui qui, vers l’âge de 50 ans, était en quête du «&nbsp;pourquoi&nbsp;» de sa vie.&nbsp; Il a vu qu’une vision matérialiste de la vie était contraire au sens de la vie, déclarant&nbsp;:&nbsp; «&nbsp;Je veux connaître le sens de ma vie, mais le fait qu’elle soit une particule de l’infini ne lui donne non seulement aucun sens, mais détruit tout sens possible.&nbsp;»[34]&nbsp; Il considérait sa situation comme «&nbsp;stupide et désespérée&nbsp;»[35] plus il essayait de simplement écarter les conséquences émotionnelles d’une vision matérialiste du cosmos, plus il était poussé au désespoir. La question du sens continuait de «&nbsp;l’arrêter&nbsp;» au point qu’«&nbsp;il avait dû user de ruse contre lui-même afin de ne pas mettre fin à ses jours.&nbsp;»[36]&nbsp; Finalement, Tolstoï a trouvé le sens qu’il cherchait dans la foi chrétienne.&nbsp;&nbsp; Glynn, mentionné plus haut comme étant sorti d’une vision nihiliste de la vie, fait le commentaire suivant en relation avec cette préoccupation existentielle&nbsp;: «&nbsp;il n’y a rien de stable dans la vision postmoderne en tant que lieu de repos pour la conscience humaine.&nbsp; L’esprit peut insister sur ces propositions nihilistes, mais à long terme le cœur ne les tolérera pas.&nbsp;»[37]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cette résistance émotionnelle au nihilisme à elle seule semble indiquer une réalité spirituelle plus profonde.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La question de l’identité est inextricablement liée à celle du sens, car il semblerait que si toute la réalité n’était rien d’autre que de la matière, alors rien n’aurait vraiment d’importance.&nbsp; Alors que les humanistes affirment généralement la «&nbsp;précieuse dignité de la personne individuelle&nbsp;»,[38]&nbsp;&nbsp;certains humanistes peuvent voir clairement que cela constitue un «&nbsp;saut de foi&nbsp;» athée.&nbsp; Par exemple, un humaniste a observé avec perspicacité&nbsp;: «&nbsp;Nous devons atténuer la vérité si nous voulons rester raisonnablement sains d’esprit. En fait, une personne vraiment saine d’esprit serait socialement folle. Fonctionnellement,&nbsp;\u003Cem>la santé mentale signifie être suffisamment illusionné pour croire que la vie vaut la peine d’être vécue et que la race humaine mérite d’être préservée\u003C\u002Fem>.&nbsp;»[39]&nbsp; En d’autres termes, la santé mentale est le résultat d’une prétention&nbsp;; se dire que la vie vaut la peine d’être vécue, alors que la vérité douloureuse est qu’elle ne l’est pas.&nbsp; Ravi Zacharias a remis en question l’hypothèse sous-jacente de la dignité dans l’humanisme en demandant&nbsp;: «&nbsp;D’où vient donc la dignité humaine&nbsp;?&nbsp;» Il conclut&nbsp;: «&nbsp;Il n’y a aucun moyen de la fabriquer ou de l’imposer&nbsp;; la dignité humaine doit être essentielle.&nbsp;»[40]&nbsp;&nbsp; En l’absence d’une valeur humaine intrinsèque, nous ne sommes laissés qu’avec la ruse contre nous-mêmes pour maintenir une apparence de santé mentale, et nous convaincre de continuer, même si cela n’en vaut vraiment pas la peine. Il semble que les paroles de cet humaniste, aussi sombres qu’elles paraissent, démontrent une soif intérieure universelle dans l’âme humaine de voir la vie comme significative. Car même lui suggérerait que nous nous efforçons tous de nous illusionner pour être «&nbsp;sains d’esprit&nbsp;», et ainsi jouir au moins de l’illusion du sens, et protéger le reste de la société, c’est-à-dire, d’une certaine manière, nous soucier des autres.

Ce n’est pas un hasard si presque toutes les chansons que l’on entend sont des chansons d’amour, et si les films les plus mémorables explorent les questions d’amour et de relations humaines.&nbsp; Nous, les humains, avons besoin d’amour. Sans lui, nous deviendrons malades psychologiquement et parfois même physiquement.&nbsp; Les émotions qui accompagnent l’amour, comme l’affection, l’anticipation de retrouvailles, le chagrin à la perte d’un « être aimé », et la compassion pour les faibles et les malades, sont difficiles à expliquer dans un cadre matérialiste.&nbsp; Les émotions humaines plus complexes, comme celles que nous venons d’énumérer, ainsi que la culpabilité (malaise face à une faute perçue), l’effroi (peur du numineux et de l’inconnu) et l’émerveillement (un sentiment d’étonnement face aux mystères de la vie), semblent indiquer un niveau d’être supérieur, c’est-à-dire une source et un objet transcendants pour les émotions humaines qui, en retour, réciproque l’affirmation de cette valeur objective.&nbsp; Le philosophe Robert Nozik conclut ce qui suit sur la structure émotionnelle de l’existence humaine : « pour les besoins présents, nous n’avons besoin que d’assumer que la valeur n’est pas seulement une question d’opinion, qu’elle est « là-dehors » et possède sa propre nature.&nbsp; Notre suggestion actuelle est que les émotions sont une réponse à la valeur (quelle que soit la théorie correcte de la valeur intrinsèque objective). »[41]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Nous, les humains, avons une tendance intuitive à valoriser les autres et nous-mêmes.&nbsp; Par l’observation et l’expérience, il devient rapidement évident que l’aspect spirituel, ou non matériel, de nos vies est soutenu, entre autres, par l’amour et les relations interpersonnelles, surtout celles dans lesquelles nous savons que nous sommes aimés inconditionnellement ; c’est-à-dire aimés non pas pour ce que nous faisons ou avons accompli, mais simplement aimés pour être la personne que nous sommes.&nbsp; Sans la connaissance que nous sommes ainsi aimés, comme mentionné ci-dessus, nous finissons dans un état de maladie psychologique qui étouffe notre épanouissement personnel dans la vie.&nbsp; Il semble également essentiel à notre bien-être spirituel non seulement de recevoir cet amour inconditionnel, mais aussi de le réciproquer.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pourrait-il se faire que, ironiquement, ce que nous ressentons subjectivement pointe vers ce qui est objectivement réel ?

Jacques Monod는 무의미함이라는 전자의 입장에 서서 “인간은 마침내 자신이 우주의 무정한 광대함 속에 홀로 있으며, 우연히 그곳에서 나온 존재라는 것을 알게 되었다”고 진술한다.[18] 이 입장은 과학적으로 뒷받침되지도 않고, 실존적으로도 만족스럽지 않다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>예를 들어, George Washington University의 교수인 Patrick Glynn은 후자의 입장에 동조한다.

또한, “. . . 물리학의 모든 무수한 법칙들은 우주가 시작될 때부터 인간의 창조를 위해 미세 조정되어 있었다 – 우리가 사는 우주는 인간의 출현을 위해 명백히 설계된 것처럼 보인다.”[23]&nbsp; &nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>우주 자체의 놀라운 질서에 관한 문제와 관련하여, 순수하게 자연주의적이고 물질주의적인 설명은 지성과 정신 모두를 만족시키기에는 너무 많은 것을 설명하지 못한다.&nbsp;

우리는 결국 아무런 목적도 없는 무의미한 분자 덩어리에 불과한가, 아니면 우주의 정교한 미세 조정이 인간에게도 적용되는가?&nbsp; 인간의 삶은 \u003Cem>내재적\u003C\u002Fem> 가치를 지니고 있는가?&nbsp; 인류는 정말로 중요하고 보존할 가치가 있는가?&nbsp; 이러한 질문에 대한 사색은 레프 톨스토이 백작이 자신의 존재 목적에 대해 깊이 생각하게 만들었다. 그는 약 50세 무렵 자신의 삶의 “이유”를 찾고 있었다.&nbsp; 그는 물질주의적 삶의 관점이 삶의 의미에 해롭다고 보았으며, “나는 내 삶의 의미를 알고 싶다. 그러나 그것이 무한의 한 입자라는 사실은 삶에 아무런 의미를 주지 않을 뿐만 아니라 가능한 모든 의미를 파괴한다”[34]고 말했다.&nbsp; 그는 자신의 상황을 “어리석고 절망적”[35]이라고 여겼으며, 물질주의적 우주관이 초래하는 정서적 결과를 외면하려 할수록 절망에 빠져들었다. 의미에 대한 질문은 그를 계속해서 사로잡았고, “나는 내 목숨을 끊지 않기 위해 나 자신에게 교활하게 대처해야 했다.”[36] 결국 톨스토이는 그가 찾던 의미를 기독교 신앙에서 발견했다.&nbsp;&nbsp; 앞서 언급한 바 있는, 허무주의적 삶의 관점에서 벗어난 글린은 이 실존적 문제와 관련하여 다음과 같이 말한다. “인간의 의식이 안주할 곳으로서 포스트모던 비전은 안정적이지 않다.&nbsp; 마음은 이러한 허무주의적 명제를 고집할지 모르지만, 장기적으로 마음은 그것을 견디지 못할 것이다.”[37]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;이러한 허무주의에 대한 정서적 저항만으로도 더 깊은 영적 실재를 가리키는 것처럼 보인다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>정체성에 대한 질문은 의미에 대한 질문과 불가분의 관계에 있다. 왜냐하면 모든 실재가 물질에 불과하다면, 실제로 중요한 것은 아무것도 없을 것이기 때문이다.&nbsp; 인본주의자들은 일반적으로 “개인의 소중함과 존엄성”[38]을 주장하지만,&nbsp;&nbsp;일부 인본주의자들은 이를 무신론적 “믿음의 도약”으로 간주한다.&nbsp; 예를 들어 한 인본주의자는 다음과 같이 날카롭게 지적했다. “우리는 합리적으로 제정신을 유지하기 위해 진실을 완화할 필요가 있다. 사실 진정으로 제정신인 사람은 사회적으로 미친 사람일 것이다. 기능적으로 \u003Cem>제정신이라는 것은 삶이 살 가치가 있고 인류가 보존할 가치가 있다고 충분히 믿도록 스스로를 속이는 것을 의미한다\u003C\u002Fem>.”[39] 다시 말해, 제정신이라는 것은 삶이 살 가치가 있다는 것을 스스로에게 말함으로써 생기는 결과이며, 고통스러운 진실은 그렇지 않다는 것이다.&nbsp; 라비 재커라이어스는 인본주의의 존엄성에 대한 근본 가정을 다음과 같이 질문하며 도전했다. “그렇다면 인간의 존엄성은 어디서 오는가?” 그는 “그것을 고안하거나 강제할 방법은 없다. 인간의 존엄성은 본질적이어야 한다”[40]고 결론지었다.&nbsp;&nbsp; 내재적 인간 가치가 없다면, 우리는 제정신을 유지하기 위해 우리 자신에게 교활하게 대처하고, 실제로는 가치가 없음에도 불구하고 계속 살아가도록 스스로를 설득하는 것 외에는 아무것도 남지 않는다. 이 인본주의자의 말은 비록 어둡게 보일지라도, 인간 영혼 속에 삶을 의미 있게 보고자 하는 보편적인 내적 갈증을 보여준다. 왜냐하면 그조차도 우리가 모두 “제정신”이 되기 위해 스스로를 속이려고 노력하며, 적어도 의미의 환상을 누리고, 나머지 사회, 즉 어떻게든 다른 사람들을 돌보도록 보호해야 한다고 제안하기 때문이다. 인본주의는 최소한 인간 존엄성의 환상이 유지되지 않는다면 작동할 수 없다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>의미에 관한 물음의 핵심에는 사랑과 인간관계에 대한 물음이 자리 잡고 있다.&nbsp; 우리가 서로 맺는 유대는 궁극적으로 어떤 의미를 지니는가? 거의 모든 노래가 사랑 노래이며, 가장 기억에 남는 영화들이 사랑과 인간관계의 문제를 깊이 파고드는 것은 우연이 아니다.&nbsp; 인간은 사랑을 필요로 한다. 사랑이 없으면 심리적으로, 때로는 신체적으로도 병들게 된다.&nbsp; 애정, 재회에 대한 기대, 사랑하는 이의 상실로 인한 슬픔, 약하고 병든 이들에 대한 연민 등 사랑에 수반되는 감정들은 물질주의적 틀 안에서는 설명하기 어렵다.&nbsp; 앞서 열거한 감정뿐 아니라 죄책감(잘못을 저질렀다는 인식에서 오는 불안), 경외감(신비롭고 알려지지 않은 것에 대한 두려움), 경이(삶의 신비에 대한 놀라움)와 같은 더 복잡한 인간 감정은, 그 감정의 근원이자 대상이 되는 초월적 존재가 존재하며, 그 존재가 인간 감정의 객관적 가치를 다시 긍정한다는 더 높은 차원의 존재를 가리키는 것처럼 보인다.&nbsp; 철학자 로버트 노직은 인간 존재의 정서적 구조에 관해 다음과 같이 결론짓는다. “현재의 목적을 위해서는 가치가 단순한 의견의 문제가 아니라 ‘저 밖에’ 존재하며 그 자체의 본성을 지닌다는 점만을 전제하면 된다.&nbsp; 우리의 제안은 감정이 가치에 대한 반응이라는 것이다(객관적 내재적 가치에 관한 올바른 이론이 무엇이든 간에).”[41]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>인간은 자신과 타인을 본능적으로 소중히 여기는 경향이 있다.&nbsp; 관찰과 경험을 통해 우리는 삶의 영적·비물질적 측면이 사랑과 대인관계, 특히 무조건적인 사랑을 받는다는 확신—즉, 우리가 한 일이나 성취 때문이 아니라 그저 존재하는 그대로 사랑받는다는 확신—에 의해 유지된다는 사실을 곧바로 깨닫게 된다.&nbsp; 앞서 언급한 바와 같이, 그러한 사랑을 받고 있다는 확신이 없으면 심리적 질환 상태에 빠져 삶에서 개인적으로 번성하지 못하게 된다.&nbsp; 또한 영적 안녕을 위해서는 이러한 무조건적인 사랑을 받는 것뿐 아니라, 그 사랑을 되돌려 주는 것 또한 필수적이다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>우리가 주관적으로 느끼는 것이, 역설적이게도 객관적으로 실재하는 것을 가리키는 것은 아닐까?&nbsp; 인간의 선호와 의견과는 별개로, 인간 존재의 이러한 측면들에 대한 객관적 설명이 존재한다면, 그 설명을 통해 우리는 희미한 거울 너머로 하나님의 얼굴을 바라보는 것은 아닐까?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[1] C.S.

This, partially, is what gives rise to the many different theories about what ultimate reality is, and how we, as humans are to relate to it for our salvation\u002Fliberation\u002Fenlightenment\u002Fdeliverance, thus contributing to religious pluralism.&nbsp; A small sampling should suffice in demonstrating this.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Buddhism is essentially atheistic (no god), having broken away from Hinduism, which is polytheistic (viz. 300 million deities). Buddhists hold that it is desire that keeps us ignorant about reality and binds us to this temporal illusion (\u003Cem>maya\u003C\u002Fem>), which results in our continued cycles (\u003Cem>samsara\u003C\u002Fem>) of death, re-birth and suffering.&nbsp; The goal for human existence is enlightenment\u002Fliberation, which delivers (\u003Cem>moksha\u003C\u002Fem>) us from this plight and enables us to achieve the bliss of&nbsp;\u003Cem>Nirvana\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;(cessation of desire).&nbsp; Within Hinduism are various approaches to the question of the divine.&nbsp; Some say the gods are personal; others may assert them to be impersonal. It is through the various yogic disciplines that humans become one with reality, and achieve deliverance.&nbsp; New Age philosophies are more pantheistic, claiming that “god” is an impersonal force in us all and we are all god, teaching that the reason we are so miserable is that we have not discovered in ourselves our own god- or Christ-consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even of the religions that claim that there is one personal God that created all things there is still much distinction, particularly in terms of how they view Jesus Christ.&nbsp; Jews say that Jesus was nothing more than another, misguided, Jewish man, while Muslims claim that Jesus was, indeed a great prophet, but that he did not, as Christians proclaim, die on the cross, or rise from the dead.&nbsp; Christians claim that the death and resurrection of Jesus have a special significance for&nbsp;\u003Cem>all\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;humanity, since Jesus himself claimed that “he who has seen me has seen the Father (John 14:9)” and that he alone is the “way the truth and the life, and no one comes to the Father (an interpersonal relationship with God) but through me (John 14:6).”[2]&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Moving on from this point, we might also conclude that the very presence of such religious diversity points up a problem; in fact a serious problem that cannot be dis&nbsp;missed.&nbsp; “It is impossible to discern a consistent pattern among the innumerable human strategies for seeking spiritual fulfillment.&nbsp; The sad track record of religious activity initiated by humans suggests that the conditions for a genuine spiritual satisfaction must be set by our Creator.”[3]&nbsp; This is no doubt the source of religious diversity, but also much religious and spiritual confusion.&nbsp; One of the serious factors often overlooked, however, is that these many “strategies” that have been proposed throughout human history in the great religions and the current “spirituality” of modern times are not only different, but outright contradictory.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The marked differences in how strategies prescribe obtaining a relationship with the divine has led religious pluralists, like John Hick, to conclude that all of the religions must somehow be experiencing the same ultimate reality, just in different ways. [4]&nbsp; This entails seeing in each of the great religions embodiments of different perceptions and experiences of the same ultimate reality, although these are not direct experiences; instead they are experiences of “the unexperienceable reality that underlies that realm.” Hick identifies the Real, so as not to privilege any given religious tradition over another. This explains the diversity.&nbsp; The incompatibilities between the different faith systems are real, admits Hick, being culturally conditioned responses that should be expected.&nbsp; This does not in anyway mean anything ontologically with regard to the Real itself.&nbsp; The Real is what it is, and in the end it is ineffable, “the ultimate Mystery” about which no single system can definitively say or know anything.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No substantial attributes can be known about it, only informal attributes, which are altogether “trivial and inconsequential.”&nbsp; That is, these attributes, observed in the phenomenological expression of people in the various religions variously as God, Brahman, Allah, Vishnu, etc., do not give us any actual information about the Real.&nbsp; Consequently, it can not be said to be “one or many, person or thing, conscious or unconscious, purposive or non-purposive, substance or process, good or evil, loving or hating.”&nbsp; Hick’s model is one of the most sophisticated as far as an attempt to explain the diversity without privileging one religious tradition.&nbsp; It is saying that there is an absolute Reality, but it is experienced in culturally conditioned, and thus indirect, ways, all of which, although incompatible, are legitimate.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hick speaks of the different conceptions and cultural expressions of the Real as neither literally true nor false, but rather “mythologically true,” and this is judged by the effect that that belief has on individuals and communities.&nbsp; That is, they cannot be considered true in any objective sense, but rather a pragmatic sense. The greatest criterion by which this mythological truthfulness can be evaluated is whether the religion is “soteriologically effective.”&nbsp; For Hick this means the “production of saints.”&nbsp; He writes, “one valid criterion by which to identify a religious tradition as a salvific human response to the Real” is whether or not it has produced “saints.” A saint is one who, having assimilated the teachings of his or her faith system, is transformed into a person characterized by “moral goodness,” which is manifest in one’s “serving his or her fellows either in works of mercy or, characteristically in our modern sociologically-conscious age, political activity as well, seeking to change the structures with in which humans live.” Focusing on others in this sense means that one has experienced the salvific transformation, and has moved from self-centeredness to Reality-centeredness. This is the hallmark of salvation\u002Fliberation\u002Fenlightenment\u002Fredemption\u002Fawakening (the various concepts of the different religions describing in Hick’s mind, the same experience of the Real). No matter what it is called in the various faiths, it represents “a striking similarity of the transformed human state.”&nbsp; So the criterion by which one can judge the validity of a given faith is in its moral fruits.&nbsp; There are several glaring difficulties with Hick’s model.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>First, his claim that none of the major religious traditions represent direct experiences of the Real is a reinterpretation and distortion of the systems themselves with which the practitioners of these various religions would not agree.&nbsp; In fact, it is of the nature of any truth claim to be exclusive. Every true devotee of the various religious systems would claim to be in direct, not indirect, touch with Ultimate Truth, and that the other religions are lacking. Even the Dalai Llama has stated “Liberation . . . is a state that only Buddhists can accomplish.&nbsp; This kind of&nbsp;\u003Cem>moksha&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>or&nbsp;\u003Cem>nirvana\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;is only explained in the Buddhist scriptures, and is achieved only through Buddhist practice.”[5] Hick’s thesis reinterprets and distorts main tenets of the different religious faiths calling their accounts “trivial and inconsequential” insofar as they are not direct experiences of the Real, saying things about their views that are simply unacceptable to the practitioners of those faiths.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Second, Hick is being inconsistent when he claims that the Real cannot be known, yet we can know that a given religious tradition is in touch somehow with the Real when it fulfills the minimal criterion of “salvific transformation” and the “production of saints.” This moral framework for evaluation raises important questions.&nbsp; If the Real cannot be known, and neither personal nor non-personal, good nor evil can be predicated about it, then how can one know that the Real is behind the salvific transformation of any given faith?&nbsp; How is it that being appropriately related to Hick’s a-personal and amoral Real somehow produces people characterized by moral characteristics to which the Real itself is indifferent? &nbsp;If “salvific transformation” is seen in “the transition from self-centeredness to Reality centeredness” as Hick suggests, but the Real cannot be known, how can one know he or she truly is reality centered, or even that being such is a worthwhile endeavor? &nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Finally, moral capacity is part of the very essence of what it means to be a person. Morality is concerned with persons, and it presupposes that persons matter.&nbsp; But ultimately, persons do&nbsp;\u003Cem>not&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>matter to the Real.&nbsp; If salvific transformation produces moral goodness, compassion and justice, it would seem that the Real was concerned about these virtues. But to be&nbsp;\u003Cem>concerned\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;and&nbsp;\u003Cem>prefer\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;one form of behavior over another are&nbsp;\u003Cem>personal\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;attributes. This actually reduces morality to a purely human convention, and provides no basis for suggesting that some behaviors (e.g. relieving injustice, compassion on the poor) are indeed to be morally preferred over others (e.g. luring followers into mass suicide, mass homicide through crashing planes into buildings).[6] &nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If we look exclusively to the idea of morality as a chief criterion for discerning any given religion as “true,” as pluralists and spiritually oriented people tend to do, it is immediately clear that most religious viewpoints do in fact share much wisdom in this particular department.&nbsp; For example, most have in their ethical instruction a version of what has come to be known as the “Golden Rule;” “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”&nbsp; This idea did not originate with the Bible or with Jesus.&nbsp; The Dalai Lama has opined, “all the different religious faiths, despite their philosophical differences, have a similar objective.&nbsp; Every religion emphasizes human improvement, love, respect for others, sharing other people’s suffering. On these lines, every religion has more or less the same viewpoint.”[7]&nbsp; This proposition rings true. But given this unanimity in morality within religion, how should the validity of religious systems be assessed?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Morality has to do with our relationships with one another.&nbsp; In a theistic framework it would seem sensible to expect a consensus on moral wisdom not only among the “great” world religions but also among pagans, atheists and secularists as well.&nbsp; If the God that created us is a loving God that takes continued interest in his human creation, as the anthropic principle intimates, then it would stand to reason that this God would build into these humans, whom he wishes to preserve, something, minimally, to keep them from destroying each other; so that humankind cannot only survive, but thrive.[8]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So what do we do with morality?&nbsp; Morality is a putative concern because we have an intuitive sense that human life has intrinsic worth and value.&nbsp; We establish our moral rules to preserve this value.&nbsp; It is almost instinctual, and inevitable, thus so common that it would be foolish to place much stock in the moral sense as a means to achieving a meaningful relationship with God.&nbsp; Morality should be understood as God’s means of preserving his human creation by protecting them from each other, and giving them an impetus to care for each other. Again, this is what one would expect in an anthropically fine-tuned universe.&nbsp; Our moral sense is a part of that fine-tuning, not a means to establishing an interpersonal relationship with God.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If our focus is on morality, we soon realize that morality is not necessarily our friend, but our foe, for sincerely focusing upon the moral law only results in the painful awareness of our failure to uphold it and thus an awareness of our need for something more.&nbsp; When we come to realize what is expected of us, and strive to be&nbsp;\u003Cem>that&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>good, it dawns on us quickly how very short we fall from the standard.&nbsp; We realize that a relationship with the divine, or God, is somehow interrelated to our morality, and that our failure to keep the moral law is the root of our estrangement from this God; thus the emphasis in most religions on morality and doing good.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In fact, one might say that religions exist in such abundance because there is this deep sense of estrangement from what we humans know we are supposed to be doing and experiencing.&nbsp; It is also in the concept of the “solution” to our estrangement that we see much contradiction among the religions.&nbsp; In Buddhism it is relinquishing all desire, in Islam it is careful observance of Allah’s will as revealed in the&nbsp;\u003Cem>Quran\u003C\u002Fem>, in the New Age it is discovering and embracing a cosmic consciousness, and in Christianity it is being saved from you sin.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This is where Hick’s moral ideas should lead us.&nbsp; The putative nature of human morality leaves us not with a means of salvation, but a means of recognizing our need for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Law of Non-Contradiction\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Given these inadequacies of Hick’s model, and the moral criterion used to judge all religions as equally valid, we must evaluate the diversity of religions using a different approach.&nbsp; Instead of dismissing out of hand the glaring contradictions by merely relegating them to indirect experiences of an ultimately unexplainable reality, we are left with many religions making&nbsp;\u003Cem>contradictory&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>truth claims. From this standpoint, simple logic should lead us away from the idea that all religious viewpoints are equally valid. Consequently, while all these religions may be found to be inadequate, there also remains the possibility that one of them is indeed the way to God, at the exclusion of all those that contradict its truth claims.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The law of non-contradiction asserts that two contradictory propositions cannot both be right at the same time and from the same perspective.&nbsp; That is if one religion claims that god is impersonal and manifested in many deities, and another claims that there is only one God and God is personal, then they both cannot be providing a correct assessment of God.[9]&nbsp; Many authors have brilliantly illustrated not only the law of non-contradiction, but also how this law of logic is is inescapable and undeniable. In fact, the moment one would object to the use of the law of noncontradiction as the way to discern truth, they have used the law to try to denounce it.

Biblical theism, in fact, holds to the unique position that humans are created equally as male and female in the image and likeness of God.&nbsp; This view provides a fixed basis for affirming the intrinsic value of human life. The notion of intrinsic value, however, is not logically consistent with a view of origins that claims that humans are either simply matter in motion, as Western materialism asserts, or&nbsp;\u003Cem>Maya\u003C\u002Fem>, a temporary illusion, as is generally held by most Eastern monistic philosophies and religions.

Por ejemplo, si el naturalismo fuera cierto, uno asumir&iacute;a que todas nuestras emociones evolucionaron gradualmente y, en un marco darwiniano, tienen alg&uacute;n tipo de valor de supervivencia. Sin embargo, hay algunas emociones humanas que parecen haberse incorporado a nosotros por razones de saber que necesitamos algo m&aacute;s de lo que la vida \"bajo el sol\" puede ofrecer, razones que van mucho m&aacute;s all&aacute; de la mera supervivencia. C. S. Lewis ha sugerido: \"Si encuentro en m&iacute; un deseo que nada en este mundo puede satisfacer, la explicaci&oacute;n m&aacute;s probable es que fui creado para otro mundo\". [1]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Una de las cosas m&aacute;s significativas acerca de nuestro componente emocional como humanos, es que tenemos un anhelo interno de amor y relaciones con otros humanos.

Pero, &iquest;qu&eacute; es el amor y de d&oacute;nde viene? &iquest;Es simplemente una invenci&oacute;n humana? una convenci&oacute;n social? &iquest;O es algo que descubrimos que es significativo y maravilloso? algo que nos viene del \"mas all&aacute;\"?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Dado nuestro anhelo de relaciones significativas y amorosas, podemos hacer las siguientes indicaciones. Los humanos son seres profundamente relacionales. Esta capacidad relacional es la esencia de nuestra personalidad. Cualquier cosa que sea de una calidad inherente tan fundamental solo tendr&iacute;a sentido si fuera mucho m&aacute;s que una simple convenci&oacute;n social, por lo tanto, debe tener un origen externo e independiente de la experiencia humana, es decir, su fuente debe ser objetiva. Adem&aacute;s, ese origen tambi&eacute;n debe compartir algo de esa capacidad relacional, en la medida en que es la fuente de la personalidad y la capacidad relacional entre los humanos, es decir, la fuente de la capacidad relacional humana debe compartir esa misma capacidad de relacionarse de manera significativa.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Si, como se ha sugerido, nuestra personalidad est&aacute; definida, al menos en parte, por nuestra capacidad de relacionarnos significativamente con los dem&aacute;s, y la fuente de nuestra personalidad y capacidad relacional tambi&eacute;n comparte esto, estamos tratando con una Persona que busca una relaci&oacute;n con otras personas. Podr&iacute;amos esperar adem&aacute;s que lo que hace posible las relaciones entre nosotros como personas es lo que se necesita en nuestra relaci&oacute;n con esta Persona tambi&eacute;n. Un medio indispensable para establecer y mantener relaciones es la autorrevelaci&oacute;n. No podemos comenzar a llegar a conocernos y relacionarnos significativamente hasta que decidamos comunicarnos. Entonces, es l&oacute;gico, si nuestras capacidades relacionales provienen de una fuente superior, y esa Fuente (Dios) es la maestra de las relaciones, por as&iacute; decirlo, entonces esperar&iacute;amos que Dios, deseando relacionarse significativamente como una Persona relacional con las personas, se revelar&iacute;a de alguna manera; es decir, podr&iacute;amos esperar que Dios comunique de alguna manera clara e inconfundible los t&eacute;rminos para una relaci&oacute;n consigo mismo.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Evaluaci&oacute;n del pluralismo religioso y el criterio moral\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&iquest;Por qu&eacute; ser&iacute;a necesaria tal revelaci&oacute;n \"clara e inconfundible\"?

Una peque&ntilde;a muestra deber&iacute;a ser suficiente para demostrar esto.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>El budismo es esencialmente ateo (sin dios), habi&eacute;ndose separado del hinduismo, que es polite&iacute;sta (a saber, 300 millones de deidades). Los budistas sostienen que es el deseo lo que nos mantiene ignorantes de la realidad y nos une a esta ilusi&oacute;n temporal (maya), que resulta en nuestros ciclos continuos (samsara) de muerte, renacimiento y sufrimiento. El objetivo de la existencia humana es la iluminaci&oacute;n \u002F liberaci&oacute;n, que nos libera (moksha) de esta situaci&oacute;n y nos permite alcanzar la dicha del Nirvana (cese del deseo). Dentro del hinduismo hay varios enfoques a la cuesti&oacute;n de lo divino. Algunos dicen que los dioses son personales; otros pueden afirmar que son impersonales. Es a trav&eacute;s de las diversas disciplinas y&oacute;guicas que los humanos se vuelven uno con la realidad y logran la liberaci&oacute;n. Las filosof&iacute;as de la Nueva Era son m&aacute;s pante&iacute;stas, afirman que \"dios\" es una fuerza impersonal en todos nosotros y que todos somos dios, y que la raz&oacute;n por la que somos tan miserables es que no hemos descubierto en nosotros mismos nuestra propia conciencia de dios o de Cristo.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Incluso de las religiones que afirman que hay un Dios personal que cre&oacute; todas las cosas, todav&iacute;a hay mucha distinci&oacute;n, particularmente en t&eacute;rminos de c&oacute;mo ven a Jesucristo. Los jud&iacute;os dicen que Jes&uacute;s no era m&aacute;s que otro hombre jud&iacute;o equivocado, mientras que los musulmanes afirman que Jes&uacute;s fue, de hecho, un gran profeta, pero que, como proclaman los cristianos, no muri&oacute; en la cruz ni resucit&oacute; de entre los muertos. Los cristianos afirman que la muerte y resurrecci&oacute;n de Jes&uacute;s tienen un significado especial para toda la humanidad, ya que Jes&uacute;s mismo afirm&oacute; que \"el que me ha visto a m&iacute; ha visto al Padre (Juan 14: 9)\" y que &eacute;l solo es el \"camino la verdad y la vida, y nadie viene al Padre (una relaci&oacute;n interpersonal con Dios) sino por &Eacute;l (Juan 14: 6) \". [2]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Continuando desde este punto, tambi&eacute;n podr&iacute;amos concluir que la presencia misma de tal diversidad religiosa apunta a un problema; de hecho, un problema grave que no puede pasarse por alto. &ldquo;Es imposible discernir un patr&oacute;n consistente entre las innumerables estrategias humanas para buscar la realizaci&oacute;n espiritual. La triste trayectoria de la actividad religiosa iniciada por los humanos sugiere que las condiciones para una verdadera satisfacci&oacute;n espiritual deben ser establecidas por nuestro Creador&rdquo;. [3] Esta es sin duda la fuente de la diversidad religiosa, pero tambi&eacute;n mucha confusi&oacute;n religiosa y espiritual. Sin embargo, uno de los factores serios que a menudo se pasa por alto es que estas muchas \"estrategias\" que se han propuesto a lo largo de la historia humana en las grandes religiones y la \"espiritualidad\" actual de los tiempos modernos no solo son diferentes, sino totalmente contradictorias.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Las marcadas diferencias en c&oacute;mo las estrategias prescriben la obtenci&oacute;n de una relaci&oacute;n con lo divino han llevado a los pluralistas religiosos, como John Hick, a concluir que todas las religiones deben de alguna manera estar experimentando la misma final realidad, solo que de diferentes maneras. [4] Esto implica ver en cada una de las grandes religiones encarnaciones de diferentes percepciones y experiencias de la misma final realidad, aunque estas no son experiencias directas; en cambio, son experiencias de \"la realidad inexperimentable que subyace en ese reino\". Hick identifica lo Real para no privilegiar ninguna tradici&oacute;n religiosa sobre otra. Esto explica la diversidad. Las incompatibilidades entre los diferentes sistemas de fe son reales, admite Hick, siendo respuestas culturalmente condicionadas que deben esperarse. Esto no significa de ninguna manera nada ontol&oacute;gicamente con respecto a lo Real mismo. Lo Real es lo que es, y al final es inefable, \"el Misterio supremo\" sobre el que ning&uacute;n sistema puede decir o saber algo definitivamente. No se pueden conocer atributos sustanciales al respecto, solo atributos informales, que son totalmente \"triviales e intrascendentes\". Es decir, estos atributos, observados en la expresi&oacute;n fenomenol&oacute;gica de las personas en las diversas religiones, como Dios, Brahman, Allah, Vishnu, etc. ., no nos brinde ninguna informaci&oacute;n real sobre lo Real. En consecuencia, no se puede decir que sea \"uno o muchos, persona o cosa, consciente o inconsciente, intencional o no intencional, sustancia o proceso, bueno o malo, amoroso u odioso\". El modelo de Hick es uno de los m&aacute;s sofisticados. como un intento de explicar la diversidad sin privilegiar una tradici&oacute;n religiosa. Est&aacute; diciendo que existe una Realidad absoluta, pero se experimenta de formas culturalmente condicionadas y, por lo tanto, indirectas, todas las cuales, aunque incompatibles, son leg&iacute;timas.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Hick habla de las diferentes concepciones y expresiones culturales de lo Real como ni literalmente verdaderas ni falsas, sino m&aacute;s bien \"mitol&oacute;gicamente verdaderas\", y esto se juzga por el efecto que esa creencia tiene en los individuos y las comunidades. Es decir, no pueden considerarse verdaderas en ning&uacute;n sentido objetivo, sino m&aacute;s bien un sentido pragm&aacute;tico. El criterio m&aacute;s importante por el cual se puede evaluar esta veracidad mitol&oacute;gica es si la religi&oacute;n es \"soteriol&oacute;gicamente efectiva\". Para Hick esto significa la \"producci&oacute;n de santos\". &Eacute;l escribe, \"un criterio v&aacute;lido para identificar una tradici&oacute;n religiosa como un humano salv&iacute;fico\". respuesta a lo Real \"es si ha producido o no\" santos \". Un santo es aquel que, habiendo asimilado las ense&ntilde;anzas de su sistema de fe, se transforma en una persona caracterizada por la\" bondad moral \", que se manifiesta en la propia \"Servir a sus semejantes, ya sea en obras de misericordia o, caracter&iacute;sticamente en nuestra era moderna con conciencia sociol&oacute;gica, actividad pol&iacute;tica tambi&eacute;n, buscando cambiar las estructuras con las que viven los humanos\". Centrarse en los dem&aacute;s en este sentido significa que uno ha experimentado la transformaci&oacute;n salv&iacute;fica, y ha pasado del egocentrismo al centrado en la realidad. Este es el sello distintivo de salvaci&oacute;n \u002F liberaci&oacute;n \u002F iluminaci&oacute;n \u002F redenci&oacute;n \u002F despertar (los diversos conceptos de las diferentes religiones que describen en la mente de Hick, la misma experiencia de lo Real). No importa c&oacute;mo se llame en las diversas religiones, representa \"una sorprendente similitud del estado humano transformado\". Por lo tanto, el criterio por el cual uno puede juzgar la validez de una fe dada est&aacute; en sus frutos morales. Hay varias dificultades evidentes con el modelo de Hick.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>En primer lugar, su afirmaci&oacute;n de que ninguna de las principales tradiciones religiosas representa experiencias directas de lo Real es una reinterpretaci&oacute;n y distorsi&oacute;n de los sistemas mismos con los que los practicantes de estas diversas religiones no estar&iacute;an de acuerdo. De hecho, es de la naturaleza de cualquier reclamo de verdad para ser exclusivo. Todo verdadero devoto de los diversos sistemas religiosos afirmar&iacute;a estar en contacto directo, no indirecto, con la Final Verdad, y que faltan las otras religiones. Incluso el Dalai Llama ha declarado \"Liberaci&oacute;n. . . es un estado que solo los budistas pueden lograr. Este tipo de moksha o nirvana solo se explica en las escrituras budistas, y se logra solo a trav&eacute;s de la pr&aacute;ctica budista&rdquo;. [5] La tesis de Hick reinterpreta y distorsiona los principios principales de las diferentes religiones que llaman a sus cuentas &ldquo;triviales e intrascendentes&rdquo; en la medida en que no son experiencias directas de lo Real, diciendo cosas sobre sus puntos de vista que son simplemente inaceptables para los practicantes de esas religiones.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>En segundo lugar, Hick es inconsistente cuando afirma que lo Real no puede ser conocido, pero podemos saber que una tradici&oacute;n religiosa dada est&aacute; de alguna manera en contacto con lo Real cuando cumple el criterio m&iacute;nimo de \"transformaci&oacute;n salv&iacute;fica\" y la \"producci&oacute;n de santos\".&rdquo; Este marco moral para la evaluaci&oacute;n plantea preguntas importantes. Si lo Real no puede ser conocido, ni tampoco personal o impersonal, el bien ni el mal pueden ser predicados al respecto, entonces &iquest;c&oacute;mo puede uno saber que lo Real est&aacute; detr&aacute;s de la transformaci&oacute;n salv&iacute;fica de cualquier fe dada? &iquest;C&oacute;mo es que estar apropiadamente relacionado con el real a-personal y amoral de Hick de alguna manera produce personas caracterizadas por caracter&iacute;sticas morales a las que lo real es indiferente? Si se ve la \"transformaci&oacute;n salv&iacute;fica\" en \"la transici&oacute;n del egocentrismo al centrado en la realidad\", como sugiere Hick, pero no se puede conocer lo Real, &iquest;c&oacute;mo se puede saber que &eacute;l o ella realmente est&aacute; centrado en la realidad, o incluso que ser as&iacute; es valioso? &iquest;esfuerzo?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Finalmente, la capacidad moral es parte de la esencia misma de lo que significa ser una persona. La moral se refiere a las personas, y presupone que las personas importan. Pero en &uacute;ltima instancia, las personas no importan a lo Real. Si la transformaci&oacute;n salv&iacute;fica produce bondad moral, compasi&oacute;n y justicia, parecer&iacute;a que lo Real estaba preocupado por estas virtudes. Pero preocuparse y preferir una forma de comportamiento sobre otra son atributos personales. En realidad, esto reduce la moralidad a una convenci&oacute;n puramente humana, y no proporciona ninguna base para sugerir que algunos comportamientos (por ejemplo, aliviar la injusticia, la compasi&oacute;n por los pobres) sean de hecho moralmente preferidos sobre otros (por ejemplo, atraer a los seguidores al suicidio en masa, homicidios en masa a trav&eacute;s de aviones que se estrellan en edificios). [6]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Si consideramos exclusivamente la idea de la moralidad como criterio principal para discernir cualquier religi&oacute;n dada como \"verdadera\", como tienden a hacer las personas pluralistas y espiritualmente orientadas, queda claro de inmediato que la mayor&iacute;a de los puntos de vista religiosos comparten mucha sabidur&iacute;a en este particular Departamento. Por ejemplo, la mayor&iacute;a tiene en su instrucci&oacute;n &eacute;tica una versi&oacute;n de lo que se conoce como la \"Regla de Oro\"; \"trata a los dem&aacute;s como querr&iacute;as que te trataran a ti\". Esta idea no se origin&oacute; con la Biblia o con Jes&uacute;s. El Dalai Lama ha opinado que &ldquo;todas las diferentes creencias religiosas, a pesar de sus diferencias filos&oacute;ficas, tienen un objetivo similar. Cada religi&oacute;n enfatiza la mejora humana, el amor, el respeto por los dem&aacute;s, compartiendo el sufrimiento de otras personas. En este sentido, cada religi&oacute;n tiene m&aacute;s o menos el mismo punto de vista&rdquo;. [7] Esta proposici&oacute;n suena cierta. Pero dada esta unanimidad en la moral dentro de la religi&oacute;n, &iquest;c&oacute;mo debe evaluarse la validez de los sistemas religiosos?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>La moral tiene que ver con nuestras relaciones mutuas. En un marco te&iacute;sta, parece sensato esperar un consenso sobre la sabidur&iacute;a moral no solo entre las \"grandes\" religiones del mundo, sino tambi&eacute;n entre los paganos, ateos y secularistas. Si el Dios que nos cre&oacute; es un Dios amoroso que se interesa continuamente en su creaci&oacute;n humana, como lo insin&uacute;a el principio antr&oacute;pico, entonces ser&iacute;a l&oacute;gico que este Dios se incorpore a estos humanos, a quienes desea preservar, algo, m&iacute;nimamente, para evitar que se destruyan mutuamente; para que la humanidad no solo pueda sobrevivir, sino prosperar. [8]\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Entonces, &iquest;qu&eacute; hacemos con la moral? La moral es una preocupaci&oacute;n putativa porque tenemos un sentido intuitivo de que la vida humana tiene un valor intr&iacute;nseco. Establecemos nuestras reglas morales para preservar este valor. Es casi instintivo e inevitable, por lo tanto, tan com&uacute;n que ser&iacute;a una tonter&iacute;a poner mucha acci&oacute;n en el sentido moral como un medio para lograr una relaci&oacute;n significativa con Dios. La moralidad debe entenderse como el medio de Dios para preservar su creaci&oacute;n humana protegi&eacute;ndolas unas de otras y d&aacute;ndoles un impulso para cuidarse las unas a las otras. Una vez m&aacute;s, esto es lo que uno esperar&iacute;a en un universo afinado entr&oacute;picamente.

Cuando nos damos cuenta de lo que se espera de nosotros y nos esforzamos por ser tan buenos, nos damos cuenta r&aacute;pidamente de lo poco que estamos a la altura del est&aacute;ndar. Nos damos cuenta de que una relaci&oacute;n con lo divino, o Dios, de alguna manera est&aacute; interrelacionada con nuestra moralidad, y que nuestro incumplimiento de la ley moral es la ra&iacute;z de nuestro alejamiento de este Dios; De ah&iacute; el &eacute;nfasis en la mayor&iacute;a de las religiones en la moral y el bien. De hecho, se podr&iacute;a decir que las religiones existen en abundancia porque existe una profunda sensaci&oacute;n de distanciamiento de lo que los humanos sabemos que se supone que debemos estar haciendo y experimentando.

Desde este punto de vista, la l&oacute;gica simple deber&iacute;a alejarnos de la idea de que todos los puntos de vista religiosos son igualmente v&aacute;lidos.

C. S.

C’est par les diverses disciplines yogiques que les humains deviennent un avec la réalité et atteignent la délivrance.&nbsp; Les philosophies New Age sont plus panthéistes, affirmant que « dieu » est une force impersonnelle en nous tous et que nous sommes tous dieu, enseignant que la raison pour laquelle nous sommes si malheureux est que nous n’avons pas découvert en nous notre propre conscience divine ou christique.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Même parmi les religions qui affirment qu’il existe un seul Dieu personnel qui a créé toutes choses, il existe encore de nombreuses distinctions, notamment dans la manière dont elles considèrent Jésus-Christ.&nbsp; Les juifs disent que Jésus n’était rien de plus qu’un autre homme juif égaré, tandis que les musulmans affirment que Jésus était en effet un grand prophète, mais qu’il n’est pas mort sur la croix ni ressuscité d’entre les morts, contrairement à ce que proclament les chrétiens.&nbsp; Les chrétiens affirment que la mort et la résurrection de Jésus ont une signification particulière pour \u003Cem>toute\u003C\u002Fem> l’humanité, puisque Jésus lui-même a déclaré : « Celui qui m’a vu a vu le Père (Jean 14:9) » et qu’il est seul « le chemin, la vérité et la vie, et nul ne vient au Père (une relation interpersonnelle avec Dieu) si ce n’est par moi (Jean 14:6) ».[2]&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En allant plus loin à partir de ce point, nous pourrions également conclure que la simple présence d’une telle diversité religieuse met en évidence un problème ; en fait un problème sérieux qui ne peut être ignoré. « Il est impossible de discerner un modèle cohérent parmi les innombrables stratégies humaines visant à rechercher l’accomplissement spirituel. Le triste bilan des activités religieuses initiées par les humains suggère que les conditions d’une véritable satisfaction spirituelle doivent être fixées par notre Créateur. »[3] C’est sans doute la source de la diversité religieuse, mais aussi d’une grande confusion religieuse et spirituelle. L’un des facteurs sérieux souvent négligés, cependant, est que ces nombreuses « stratégies » proposées tout au long de l’histoire humaine dans les grandes religions et la « spiritualité » actuelle des temps modernes ne sont pas seulement différentes, mais franchement contradictoires.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les différences marquées dans la manière dont les stratégies prescrivent l’obtention d’une relation avec le divin ont conduit les pluralistes religieux, comme John Hick, à conclure que toutes les religions doivent d’une certaine manière faire l’expérience de la même réalité ultime, mais de manières différentes. [4] Cela implique de voir dans chacune des grandes religions des incarnations de perceptions et d’expériences différentes de la même réalité ultime, bien qu’il ne s’agisse pas d’expériences directes ; ce sont plutôt des expériences « de la réalité inexprimable qui sous-tend ce domaine ». Hick identifie le Réel, afin de ne privilégier aucune tradition religieuse donnée par rapport à une autre. Cela explique la diversité. Les incompatibilités entre les différents systèmes de foi sont réelles, admet Hick, étant des réponses conditionnées culturellement qu’il faut s’attendre à trouver. Cela ne signifie en aucun cas quelque chose d’ontologique concernant le Réel lui-même. Le Réel est ce qu’il est, et en fin de compte il est indicible, « le Mystère ultime » à propos duquel aucun système ne peut dire ou savoir quoi que ce soit de définitif. Aucune caractéristique substantielle ne peut en être connue, seulement des caractéristiques informelles, qui sont toutes « triviales et sans conséquence ». C’est-à-dire que ces caractéristiques, observées dans l’expression phénoménologique des personnes dans les diverses religions sous les formes de Dieu, Brahman, Allah, Vishnu, etc., ne nous donnent aucune information réelle sur le Réel. Par conséquent, on ne peut pas dire qu’il est « un ou multiple, personne ou chose, conscient ou inconscient, intentionnel ou non intentionnel, substance ou processus, bon ou mauvais, aimant ou haïssant ». Le modèle de Hick est l’un des plus sophistiqués en ce qui concerne la tentative d’expliquer la diversité sans privilégier une tradition religieuse. Il affirme qu’il existe une Réalité absolue, mais qu’elle est expérimentée de manières conditionnées culturellement, et donc indirectes, toutes légitimes bien qu’incompatibles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hick parle des différentes conceptions et expressions culturelles du Réel comme n’étant ni littéralement vraies ni fausses, mais plutôt « mythologiquement vraies », et cela se juge par l’effet que cette croyance a sur les individus et les communautés. C’est-à-dire qu’elles ne peuvent pas être considérées comme vraies dans un sens objectif, mais plutôt dans un sens pragmatique. Le plus grand critère par lequel cette vérité mythologique peut être évaluée est de savoir si la religion est « sotériologiquement efficace ». Pour Hick, cela signifie la « production de saints ». Il écrit : « un critère valable pour identifier une tradition religieuse comme une réponse humaine salvatrice au Réel » est de savoir si elle a produit ou non des « saints ». Un saint est une personne qui, ayant assimilé les enseignements de son système de foi, est transformée en une personne caractérisée par une « bonté morale », qui se manifeste dans le « service de ses semblables, soit par des œuvres de miséricorde, soit, caractéristiquement dans notre époque moderne consciente du point de vue sociologique, par une activité politique également, cherchant à changer les structures dans lesquelles les humains vivent ». Se concentrer sur les autres dans ce sens signifie que l’on a vécu la transformation salvatrice et que l’on est passé d’une centration sur soi à une centration sur la Réalité. C’est la marque de la salvation\u002Flibération\u002Fillumination\u002Frédemption\u002Féveil (les divers concepts des différentes religions décrivant selon Hick la même expérience du Réel). Quel que soit le nom qu’on lui donne dans les diverses confessions, cela représente « une similitude frappante de l’état humain transformé ». Ainsi, le critère permettant de juger de la validité d’une foi donnée réside dans ses fruits moraux. Il y a plusieurs difficultés évidentes dans le modèle de Hick.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Premièrement, son affirmation selon laquelle aucune des grandes traditions religieuses ne représente des expériences directes du Réel est une réinterprétation et une distorsion des systèmes eux-mêmes avec lesquelles les pratiquants de ces diverses religions ne seraient pas d’accord. En fait, il est de la nature de toute affirmation de vérité d’être exclusive. Tout vrai dévot des divers systèmes religieux prétendrait être en contact direct, et non indirect, avec la Vérité ultime, et que les autres religions sont déficientes. Même le Dalaï-Lama a déclaré : « La libération… est un état que seuls les bouddhistes peuvent accomplir. Ce genre de moksha ou nirvana n’est expliqué que dans les écritures bouddhistes et n’est atteint que par la pratique bouddhiste. »[5] La thèse de Hick réinterprète et déforme les principaux principes des différentes confessions religieuses en qualifiant leurs récits de « triviaux et sans conséquence » dans la mesure où ils ne sont pas des expériences directes du Réel, en disant des choses sur leurs points de vue qui sont tout simplement inacceptables pour les pratiquants de ces confessions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Deuxièmement, Hick est incohérent lorsqu’il affirme que le Réel ne peut être connu, tout en soutenant que nous pouvons savoir qu’une tradition religieuse donnée est en lien avec le Réel lorsqu’elle remplit le critère minimal de la « transformation salvatrice » et de la « production de saints ». Ce cadre moral d’évaluation soulève d’importantes questions. Si le Réel ne peut être connu, et que ni le personnel ni le non-personnel, ni le bien ni le mal ne peuvent lui être attribués, comment peut-on savoir que le Réel est à l’origine de la transformation salvatrice d’une foi donnée ? Comment se fait-il qu’une relation appropriée avec le Réel a-personnel et amoral de Hick produise des personnes caractérisées par des traits moraux envers lesquels le Réel lui-même est indifférent ? Si la « transformation salvatrice » se manifeste dans le « passage de l’égocentrisme à la centration sur la Réalité » comme le suggère Hick, mais que le Réel ne peut être connu, comment peut-on savoir que l’on est véritablement centré sur la réalité, ou même que cela constitue un objectif valable ?\n\nEnfin, la capacité morale fait partie de l’essence même de ce que signifie être une personne. La morale concerne les personnes et présuppose que les personnes comptent. Mais en fin de compte, les personnes ne comptent pas pour le Réel. Si la transformation salvatrice produit la bonté morale, la compassion et la justice, il semblerait que le Réel se soucie de ces vertus. Or, être concerné et préférer une forme de comportement à une autre sont des attributs personnels. Cela réduit en réalité la morale à une simple convention humaine et ne fournit aucune base pour suggérer que certains comportements (par exemple, soulager l’injustice, la compassion envers les pauvres) doivent effectivement être moralement préférés à d’autres (par exemple, entraîner des adeptes dans un suicide collectif, un homicide de masse en faisant s’écraser des avions sur des bâtiments).[6]\n\nSi l’on se limite à l’idée de morale comme critère principal pour discerner si une religion donnée est « vraie », comme le font généralement les pluralistes et les personnes spirituellement orientées, il apparaît immédiatement que la plupart des points de vue religieux partagent en fait beaucoup de sagesse dans ce domaine particulier. Par exemple, la plupart ont dans leur enseignement éthique une version de ce qui est devenu connu sous le nom de « Règle d’or » : « Fais aux autres ce que tu voudrais qu’ils te fassent. » Cette idée n’est pas née avec la Bible ou avec Jésus. Le Dalaï-Lama a déclaré : « toutes les différentes confessions religieuses, malgré leurs différences philosophiques, ont un objectif similaire. Chaque religion met l’accent sur l’amélioration humaine, l’amour, le respect des autres, le partage de la souffrance d’autrui. Sur ces points, chaque religion a plus ou moins le même point de vue. »[7] Cette proposition sonne juste. Mais face à cet unanimisme moral au sein des religions, comment évaluer la validité des systèmes religieux ?\n\nLa morale a trait à nos relations les uns avec les autres. Dans un cadre théiste, il semblerait raisonnable d’attendre un consensus sur la sagesse morale non seulement parmi les « grandes » religions du monde, mais aussi parmi les païens, les athées et les laïcs. Si le Dieu qui nous a créés est un Dieu aimant qui continue de s’intéresser à sa création humaine, comme le suggère le principe anthropique, alors il serait logique que ce Dieu ait intégré chez ces humains, qu’il souhaite préserver, quelque chose de minimal pour les empêcher de se détruire mutuellement ; afin que l’humanité puisse non seulement survivre, mais prospérer.[8]\n\nAlors, que faire de la morale ? La morale est une préoccupation putative parce que nous avons un sens intuitif que la vie humaine a une valeur et une dignité intrinsèques. Nous établissons nos règles morales pour préserver cette valeur. C’est presque instinctif et inévitable, donc si courant qu’il serait insensé d’accorder beaucoup d’importance au sens moral comme moyen d’établir une relation significative avec Dieu. La morale doit être comprise comme le moyen par lequel Dieu préserve sa création humaine en la protégeant les uns des autres et en lui donnant une impulsion à prendre soin les uns des autres. Là encore, c’est ce à quoi l’on s’attendrait dans un univers finement réglé de manière anthropique. Notre sens moral fait partie de ce réglage fin, et non un moyen d’établir une relation interpersonnelle avec Dieu.\n\nSi notre attention se porte sur la morale, nous réalisons rapidement que celle-ci n’est pas nécessairement notre amie, mais notre ennemie, car se concentrer sincèrement sur la loi morale ne fait que révéler douloureusement notre incapacité à la respecter et donc la prise de conscience de notre besoin de quelque chose de plus. Lorsque nous comprenons ce qui est attendu de nous et que nous nous efforçons d’être aussi bons, nous réalisons rapidement à quel point nous sommes loin de la norme. Nous comprenons qu’une relation avec le divin, ou Dieu, est en quelque sorte liée à notre morale, et que notre incapacité à respecter la loi morale est à l’origine de notre éloignement de ce Dieu ; d’où l’accent mis par la plupart des religions sur la morale et le fait de bien agir. En fait, on pourrait dire que les religions existent en si grand nombre parce qu’il existe ce profond sentiment d’éloignement par rapport à ce que nous, humains, savons que nous sommes censés faire et vivre. C’est également dans le concept de la « solution » à notre éloignement que nous voyons de nombreuses contradictions entre les religions. Dans le bouddhisme, il s’agit d’abandonner tout désir ; dans l’islam, d’observer attentivement la volonté d’Allah telle que révélée dans le Coran ; dans le New Age, de découvrir et d’embrasser une conscience cosmique ; et dans le christianisme, d’être sauvé de son péché.\n\nC’est là que les idées morales de Hick devraient nous conduire. La nature putative de la morale humaine ne nous laisse pas un moyen de salut, mais un moyen de reconnaître notre besoin de salut.\n\nLa loi de non-contradictionÉtant donné ces insuffisances du modèle de Hick, et le critère moral utilisé pour juger toutes les religions comme également valides, nous devons évaluer la diversité des religions en utilisant une approche différente.&nbsp; Au lieu de rejeter d’emblée les contradictions flagrantes en les reléguant simplement à des expériences indirectes d’une réalité en fin de compte inexplicable, nous nous retrouvons avec de nombreuses religions qui formulent des revendications de vérité \u003Cem>contradictoires\u003C\u002Fem>. De ce point de vue, la simple logique devrait nous éloigner de l’idée que tous les points de vue religieux sont également valides. Par conséquent, bien que toutes ces religions puissent s’avérer inadéquates, il reste également la possibilité que l’une d’elles soit effectivement le chemin vers Dieu, à l’exclusion de toutes celles qui contredisent ses revendications de vérité.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La loi de non-contradiction affirme que deux propositions contradictoires ne peuvent pas être toutes deux correctes en même temps et du même point de vue.&nbsp; C’est-à-dire que si une religion affirme que Dieu est impersonnel et se manifeste en de nombreuses divinités, et qu’une autre affirme qu’il n’y a qu’un seul Dieu et que Dieu est personnel, alors elles ne peuvent pas toutes deux fournir une évaluation correcte de Dieu.[9]&nbsp; De nombreux auteurs ont brillamment illustré non seulement la loi de non-contradiction, mais aussi comment cette loi de la logique est inéluctable et indéniable.

Biblical theism, in fact, holds to the unique position that humans are created equally as male and female in the image and likeness of God.&nbsp; This view provides a fixed basis for affirming the intrinsic value of human life.

만일 실재를 알 수 없고, 인격적이지도 비인격적이지도 않으며, 선악을 실재에 귀속시킬 수 없다면, 어떻게 어떤 신앙의 구원적 변혁 뒤에 실재가 있다고 알 수 있는가?&nbsp; 힉의 비인격적이고 비도덕적인 실재와 적절히 관계 맺는 것이 어떻게 그 실재 자체가 무관심한 도덕적 특성을 지닌 사람들을 산출하는가?&nbsp; “구원적 변혁”이 힉이 말하는 대로 “자기중심성에서 실재 중심성으로의 전환”으로 이해된다면, 실재를 알 수 없는 상황에서 어떻게 자신이 진정으로 실재 중심적인지, 혹은 그러한 상태가 가치 있는 노력인지 알 수 있는가?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;마지막으로, 도덕적 능력은 인격이라는 것의 본질적 일부이다. 도덕은 인격과 관련되며, 인격이 중요하다는 전제를 필요로 한다.&nbsp;

예를 들어, 대부분의 종교는 “황금률”로 알려진 윤리적 가르침을 가지고 있다: “너희가 대접받고자 하는 대로 남을 대접하라.”&nbsp; 이 사상은 성경이나 예수에게서 비롯된 것이 아니다.&nbsp; 달라이 라마는 “모든 종교는 철학적 차이에도 불구하고 유사한 목적을 가지고 있다.&nbsp; 모든 종교는 인간의 개선, 사랑, 타인에 대한 존중, 타인의 고통을 나누는 것을 강조한다. 이러한 점에서 모든 종교는 대체로 같은 관점을 가지고 있다”고 말했다.[7]&nbsp;

우리의 도덕 감각은 그러한 미세 조정의 일부이지, 하나님과의 인격적 관계를 확립하는 수단이 아니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>우리의 초점이 도덕에 있다면, 우리는 곧 도덕이 반드시 우리의 친구가 아니라 우리의 적이라는 것을 깨닫게 된다. 왜냐하면 도덕 법칙에 진지하게 집중하는 것은 그것을 지키지 못했다는 고통스러운 자각과, 그 이상의 무언가가 필요하다는 자각을 초래하기 때문이다.&nbsp; 우리에게 기대되는 것이 무엇인지 깨닫고, 그토록&nbsp;\u003Cem>선한\u003C\u002Fem> 사람이 되려고 노력할 때, 우리는 기준에서 얼마나 크게 벗어나 있는지를 곧 깨닫게 된다.&nbsp; 우리는 신적 존재, 즉 하나님과의 관계가 우리의 도덕성과 어떻게든 관련되어 있으며, 도덕 법칙을 지키지 못한 것이 이 하나님으로부터의 소외의 근원임을 깨닫게 된다. 따라서 대부분의 종교에서 도덕과 선행을 강조하는 것이다.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 사실, 종교가 그토록 풍부하게 존재하는 이유는 우리가 해야 한다고 알고 있는 일과 경험해야 한다고 느끼는 것에서 깊은 소외감을 느끼기 때문이라고 말할 수 있다.&nbsp; 또한 이 소외에 대한 “해결책”의 개념에서 우리는 종교들 사이의 많은 모순을 보게 된다.&nbsp; 불교에서는 모든 욕망을 버리는 것이고, 이슬람에서는 꾸란에 계시된 알라의 뜻을 신중히 준수하는 것이며, 뉴에이지에서는 우주적 의식을 발견하고 받아들이는 것이고, 기독교에서는 죄로부터 구원받는 것이다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>이것이 바로 힉의 도덕적 사상이 우리를 이끌어야 하는 지점이다.&nbsp;

Instead of dismissing out of hand the glaring contradictions by merely relegating them to indirect experiences of an ultimately unexplainable reality, we are left with many religions making&nbsp;\u003Cem>contradictory&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>truth claims. From this standpoint, simple logic should lead us away from the idea that all religious viewpoints are equally valid. Consequently, while all these religions may be found to be inadequate, there also remains the possibility that one of them is indeed the way to God, at the exclusion of all those that contradict its truth claims.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The law of non-contradiction asserts that two contradictory propositions cannot both be right at the same time and from the same perspective.&nbsp; That is if one religion claims that god is impersonal and manifested in many deities, and another claims that there is only one God and God is personal, then they both cannot be providing a correct assessment of God.[9]&nbsp; Many authors have brilliantly illustrated not only the law of non-contradiction, but also how this law of logic is is inescapable and undeniable. In fact, the moment one would object to the use of the law of noncontradiction as the way to discern truth, they have used the law to try to denounce it.

It has been translated, either in part or in its entirety, into over 2,000 languages. Throughout history, people have been willing to suffer and even die for its content. Today, even though the Bible still retains great popularity, more and more people are questioning the Bible. Is the Bible&nbsp;\u003Cem>really\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;God’s Word or just a man-made book? Hasn’t the Bible been proven wrong? What about other religious books? Why believe the Bible? These are legitimate questions that deserve reasonable answers. Christians&nbsp;are called to have reasonable answers for those who ask about the Christian faith (1 Peter 3:15). In other words, Christians are called to know not only&nbsp;\u003Cem>what&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>they believe, but&nbsp;\u003Cem>why\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;they believe. Christians must not leave questions that people have unanswered as though the historic Christian faith does not have legitimate answers. So why believe the Bible?

Exodus 24:4 states that “Moses wrote all the words of the LORD.”\u003Ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.truelife.org\u002FTrueLife%20Article\u002F5-Why%20Believe%20the%20Bible?#_edn1\">[1]\u003C\u002Fa>&nbsp;In similar manner, the prophets of the Old Testament state in their writings over 5,000 times, “Thus says the LORD.” In other words, these were God’s words, not theirs. The New Testament states in 2 Timothy 3:16 that “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God.” Elsewhere, 2 Peter 1:21 also says that “no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.”\u003Ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.truelife.org\u002FTrueLife%20Article\u002F5-Why%20Believe%20the%20Bible?#_edn2\">[2]\u003C\u002Fa>&nbsp;So these passages claim that what was written in the Bible were not the words of mere men, but came from God Himself. With claims like this it is no wonder that the Bible has drawn such a strong response from so many people. But, the Bible is not necessarily&nbsp;\u003Cem>God’s&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>Word simply because it claims to be. So, is the Bible really&nbsp;\u003Cem>God’s&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>Word and is it reliable?\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wysiwyg-text-align-center\">&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wysiwyg-text-align-center\">Ancient Manuscript Evidence Confirms the Original Words\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wysiwyg-text-align-center\">of the Bible Have Been Preserved\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Old Testament was written during a thousand year period from 1450 BC to 400 BC. Over the centuries scribes would meticulously make copies of the Old Testament as they counted the verses, words, and letters of the Law and other parts of Scripture to ensure the faithful transmission of the biblical text. As the older manuscripts began to wear out they would make new copies and dispose of the older copies. In fact, the newer copies were, in some respects, even&nbsp;\u003Cem>preferred\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;over the older copies which were more subject to wear and tear. Because of this, the oldest available copies of Old Testament manuscripts, which the modern Bible is based on, are dated to around AD 1000.\u003Ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.truelife.org\u002FTrueLife%20Article\u002F5-Why%20Believe%20the%20Bible?#_edn3\">[3]\u003C\u002Fa>&nbsp;This leads to an important question. Do the Hebrew manuscripts dated around AD 1000, along with the modern texts we now possess, reliably preserve the original manuscripts? The greatest archaeological discovery of the twentieth century would shed great light on this question.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in the Qumran caves on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea between 1947 and 1956. These Scrolls (complete texts or fragments) contain every book of the Old Testament except for the book of Esther. The Dead Sea Scrolls are dated between 200 BC and AD 70. Carbon-14 dating confirms the dating of the Dead Sea Scrolls, along with evidence from archaeology, paleography, and internal allusions (references) within the Scrolls. Previously, the earliest Old Testament manuscripts available dated to around AD 900. The Dead Sea Scrolls discovery takes the dating of available Old Testament manuscripts back 1,000 years! When the scrolls were examined, it was discovered that the scribes were accurate with great precision. Many of the biblical texts of the Dead Sea Scrolls are remarkably almost identical to the Hebrew Masoretic Text (which the modern Bible is based) with the exception of a few minor differences (such as a few spelling details). The Dead Sea Scrolls demonstrate the reliability and faithful transmission of the Old Testament text. In other words, we can be assured that what we have&nbsp;\u003Cem>now\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;is what was&nbsp;\u003Cem>originally\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;written. The Old Testament was well preserved and accurately handed down to us today.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The New Testament was written between AD 40 – 100. There are over 5,000 ancient manuscripts or portions of manuscripts of the New Testament. The earliest portions of these New Testament manuscripts are dated to within mere&nbsp;\u003Cem>decades&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>of the original manuscripts. For example, one of the most amazing finds is the John Rylands fragment (P52), which is 3 ½ by 2 ½ inches, containing words from John 18:31-33, 37-38. This papyrus fragment was discovered in Egypt and is dated to around AD 125 giving convincing evidence of early circulation of the Gospel of John. The John Rylands Papyrus dates to within mere decades, or even closer, to the original manuscript. This may not sound so impressive until you compare these numbers with other ancient documents. For example, there are only a handful of copies of the historical writings of Herodotus, with the earliest copy dated at 1,300 years after the original. Only a handful of copies exist of Caesar’s writings, with the earliest of those copies dating to 900 years after the original.\u003Ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.truelife.org\u002FTrueLife%20Article\u002F5-Why%20Believe%20the%20Bible?#_edn4\">[4]\u003C\u002Fa>No serious scholar would question the authenticity of Herodotus or Caesar.

Thus, one can have full confidence that what we have now recorded in the New Testament is what was originally written.

However, since the N.T. records&nbsp;\u003Cem>historical\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;events, one cannot use the scientific method to prove it. You cannot observe, measure, or repeat the historical events in question here. Rather, one must approach the question of the history recorded in the New Testament as it is done in a court of law. One must find out if there is any reliable eye-witness testimony to verify the claims. This is exactly what the Bible has! The Bible is a reliable collection of historical documents written down by eye-witnesses.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Regarded as one of the greatest archaeologists, Sir William Ramsay was trained in mid 19th&nbsp;century German historical skepticism and so did not believe that the N.T. documents were historically reliable. However, his archaeological investigations drove him to see that his skepticism was unwarranted. He had a profound change of attitude. Speaking of Luke (the author of the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts), Ramsay stated: “Luke is a historian of the first rank…he should be placed along with the very greatest of historians.”\u003Ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.truelife.org\u002FTrueLife%20Article\u002F5-Why%20Believe%20the%20Bible?#_edn5\">[5]\u003C\u002Fa>&nbsp;Luke himself records that what he wrote came directly from eye-witnesses of Christ (Luke 1:1-4). Peter made it clear that they were not following myths, but that they recorded actual events which transpired in history. Peter further attests “we were eye-witnesses of His majesty” (2 Peter 1:16). John also affirms “that which we have seen and heard we declare to you” (1 John 1:1-3). Paul states that there were hundreds of eye-witnesses of the resurrection still living at the time he wrote his first letter to the Corinthians during the first century (\u003Cem>see&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>1 Corinthians 15:3-8). In other words, Paul was stating that you could go and ask any one of these people and they could confirm the claims of the apostles. If the biblical writers were making claims about Christ that were not true, then certainly someone who witnessed the life of Jesus would have spoken up against these claims. However, there are no external historical documents from that time period contrary to the eye-witness testimony of the New Testament. Upon investigation, it is demonstrated with great confidence that the New Testament is reliable history.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wysiwyg-text-align-center\">&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wysiwyg-text-align-center\">Archaeology Confirms the History of the Bible\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Christianity is a historic faith. That is, it is rooted in history. Thus, if the events actually transpired in history as the Bible records, then there should be archaeological evidence to support the claims of the Bible. One should be able to literally go dig up the past and see if it confirms Scripture. This is exactly what one finds when exploring the archaeological artifacts. Also, if one can “dig up” confirmation of the biblical history, then it also follows that one&nbsp;\u003Cem>could\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;“dig up” evidence which contradicts the history recorded in the Bible if the biblical record was not true in certain claims. No such archaeological evidence, however, contradicts the biblical record of history. The fact is that the archaeological evidence repeatedly confirms the historical details given in Scripture.

Hundreds of prophecies are given in the Old Testament and not a single one has failed. For example, in Isaiah 44:18-45:13, the prophet Isaiah prophesied that God would raise up a ruler named Cyrus to rebuild the city of Jerusalem. A few hundred years later Cyrus, king of Persia, decreed to have the city of Jerusalem rebuilt. In Daniel 7:6 and 8:21-22, Daniel prophesied the swift rise of the Greek empire under Alexander the Great and the division of his empire into four parts after his death. Over 200 years later, Alexander the Great conquered much of the world. After his death the empire was divided among his generals into four parts, though, as Daniel foretold, none ruled with the strength of Alexander.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Old Testament also makes numerous prophecies concerning the Messiah’s first coming and all were fulfilled. For example, Isaiah 7:14 predicts that the Messiah would be born of a virgin. Some 700 years later, the Gospel writer Matthew records that this prophecy was fulfilled in the virgin birth of Jesus (Matthew 1:18-23). The prophet Micah foretold in Micah 5:2 that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. Over 700 years later, Matthew again records the fulfillment of this prophecy in Jesus, who was born in Bethlehem (Matthew 2:1-6).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In Isaiah 53 the prophet Isaiah foretold of the Messiah as the Suffering Servant who makes atonement for lost humanity. All four Gospels record the substitutionary death on the cross by Jesus to atone for the sins of the world. Another interesting messianic text is Psalm 22. When Jesus was dying on the cross He cried out with a loud voice quoting Psalm 22:1, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” Psalm 22:7-8 states, “All those who see Me ridicule Me; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying ‘He trusted in the LORD, let Him rescue Him; let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him.’” Interestingly, this is what the chief priests, scribes, and elders said about Jesus while He was on the cross (Matthew 27:39-43). The Psalm continues in verses 14-15 describing the suffering and thirst of the Messiah and the Gospels record that Jesus stated “I thirst” while on the cross, in fulfillment of Psalm 22 (John 19:28). Psalm 22:16-18 states “they pierced My hands and My feet; I can count all My bones. They look and stare at Me. They divide My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots.” Matthew 27:35 records that the soldiers fulfilled this prophecy. Lastly, the phrase in verse 16, “they pierced My hands and My feet” was written 1,000 years before Christ by a man who had never witnessed a crucifixion because crucifixion had not yet been invented.\u003Ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.truelife.org\u002FTrueLife%20Article\u002F5-Why%20Believe%20the%20Bible?#_edn10\">[10]\u003C\u002Fa>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Many predictions in the Bible are adequately separated by time from their fulfillment. These predictions are precise enough in detail as to render improbable any theory of chance or being merely man-made ideas. There are a sufficient number of these prophecies so as to render highly probable an advanced knowledge that could only come from a source&nbsp;\u003Cem>outside\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;of man. God is the most likely explanation of such a source of information. One cannot simply write off the multitude of fulfilled prophecies in Scripture.

The Bible was written in three different languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek) on three different continents (Africa, Asia, and Europe). The Bible was written by over 40 different authors, most of whom never met one another. The Bible was written over a 1500 year period (ca. 1450 BC – AD 100). Yet, the Bible tells one singularly woven together story.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wysiwyg-text-align-center\">&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wysiwyg-text-align-center\">Conclusion: God’s Word is True\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So why believe the Bible? The Bible claims to be the Word of God. The reliability of the biblical claims is demonstrated by numerous evidences. The amazing manuscript evidence for the Old and New Testament confirms that the original words of the Bible have been faithfully preserved. The reliable eye-witness testimony of the New Testament confirms the historical accounts recorded in the New Testament. The historical details of the Bible are confirmed repeatedly by archaeology. The vast number of prophecies fulfilled confirms the divine origin of the Bible. Also, the amazing consistency of the Bible’s message over the centuries by numerous authors attests to its divine origin. To believe that the Bible is merely a man-made book would be an even greater miracle itself than the very miracles the Bible proclaims. When one examines the nature of the Bible, the conclusion is that no mere men could pull this off. It is most reasonable to conclude that there must be a God behind the biblical text who has revealed Himself to us. To reject the divine origin and reliability of the Bible seems to stretch all credulity. Far from being a “blind faith,” belief in the Bible is a&nbsp;\u003Cem>reasonable\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;faith based on evidence.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wysiwyg-text-align-center\">\u003Cstrong>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wysiwyg-text-align-center\">\u003Cstrong>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wysiwyg-text-align-center\">\u003Cstrong>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wysiwyg-text-align-center\">End Notes\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>\u003Ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.truelife.org\u002FTrueLife%20Article\u002F5-Why%20Believe%20the%20Bible?#_ednref1\">[1]\u003C\u002Fa>&nbsp;All Scripture quotations from NKJV unless otherwise noted.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>\u003Ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.truelife.org\u002FTrueLife%20Article\u002F5-Why%20Believe%20the%20Bible?#_ednref2\">[2]\u003C\u002Fa>&nbsp;NASB\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>\u003Ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.truelife.org\u002FTrueLife%20Article\u002F5-Why%20Believe%20the%20Bible?#_ednref3\">[3]\u003C\u002Fa>&nbsp;The two major Hebrew manuscripts are known as the Aleppo Codex and the Leningrad Codex.

Today, the oldest complete manuscript of the Hebrew Bible is the Leningrad Codex which was written in Cairo around AD 1010. These two manuscripts are regarded as the models of a form of Hebrew text known today as the Masoretic Text. The Leningrad Codex underlies most editions of the modern Hebrew Bible. The Cairo Codex is a manuscript of the Former and Latter Prophets scribed by Moses ben Asher around AD 900 and is currently held in Cairo.

Hoy en día, aunque la Biblia sigue gozando de gran popularidad, cada vez más personas cuestionan la Biblia. ¿Es la Biblia&nbsp;\u003Cem>realmente\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;la Palabra de Dios o simplemente un libro hecho por el hombre? ¿No se ha demostrado que la Biblia está equivocada? ¿Qué pasa con otros libros religiosos? ¿Por qué creer en la Biblia?

Los cristianos no deben dejar sin respuesta las preguntas que la gente tiene, como si la fe cristiana histórica no tuviera respuestas legítimas.

Éxodo 24:4 afirma que “Moisés escribió todas las palabras del SEÑOR.”\u003Ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.truelife.org\u002FTrueLife%20Article\u002F5-Why%20Believe%20the%20Bible?#_edn1\">[1]\u003C\u002Fa>&nbsp;De manera similar, los profetas del Antiguo Testamento afirman en sus escritos más de 5.000 veces: “Así dice el SEÑOR”. En otras palabras, estas eran las palabras de Dios, no las de ellos. El Nuevo Testamento afirma en 2 Timoteo 3:16 que “Toda la Escritura es inspirada por Dios.” En otro lugar, 2 Pedro 1:21 también dice que “ninguna profecía fue hecha por un acto de voluntad humana, sino que hombres movidos por el Espíritu Santo hablaron de parte de Dios.”\u003Ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.truelife.org\u002FTrueLife%20Article\u002F5-Why%20Believe%20the%20Bible?#_edn2\">[2]\u003C\u002Fa>&nbsp;Así que estos pasajes afirman que lo que se escribió en la Biblia no eran las palabras de simples hombres, sino que provenían del mismo Dios. Con afirmaciones como esta, no es de extrañar que la Biblia haya suscitado una respuesta tan fuerte de tanta gente. Pero la Biblia no es necesariamente&nbsp;\u003Cem>la Palabra de&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>Dios simplemente porque afirma serlo.

A lo largo de los siglos, los escribas copiaban meticulosamente el Antiguo Testamento mientras contaban los versículos, las palabras y las letras de la Ley y otras partes de las Escrituras para asegurar la fiel transmisión del texto bíblico.

Estos Rollos (textos completos o fragmentos) contienen todos los libros del Antiguo Testamento, excepto el libro de Ester. Los Rollos del Mar Muerto están fechados entre el 200 a. C. y el 70 d. C. La datación por carbono-14 confirma la datación de los Rollos del Mar Muerto, junto con la evidencia de la arqueología, la paleografía y las alusiones internas (referencias) dentro de los Rollos. Anteriormente, los manuscritos más antiguos del Antiguo Testamento disponibles estaban fechados alrededor del año 900 d. C. El descubrimiento de los Rollos del Mar Muerto retrocede la datación de los manuscritos del Antiguo Testamento disponibles en 1.000 años. Cuando se examinaron los rollos, se descubrió que los escribas eran precisos con gran precisión. Muchos de los textos bíblicos de los Rollos del Mar Muerto son notablemente casi idénticos al Texto Masorético Hebreo (en el que se basa la Biblia moderna), con la excepción de algunas diferencias menores (como algunos detalles ortográficos). Los Rollos del Mar Muerto demuestran la confiabilidad y la fiel transmisión del texto del Antiguo Testamento.

Este fragmento de papiro fue descubierto en Egipto y está fechado alrededor del año 125 d.C., lo que proporciona evidencia convincente de la circulación temprana del Evangelio de Juan. El Papiro de John Rylands data de apenas unas décadas, o incluso menos, del manuscrito original. Esto puede no parecer tan impresionante hasta que se comparan estas cifras con otros documentos antiguos. Por ejemplo, solo hay un puñado de copias de los escritos históricos de Heródoto, y la copia más antigua data de 1.300 años después del original.

Sin embargo, sus investigaciones arqueológicas lo llevaron a ver que su escepticismo no estaba justificado. Tuvo un cambio profundo de actitud.

Pedro dejó claro que no seguían mitos, sino que registraban eventos reales que ocurrieron en la historia. Pedro además atestigua “nosotros fuimos testigos oculares de su majestad” (2 Pedro 1:16). Juan también afirma “lo que hemos visto y oído, eso os anunciamos” (1 Juan 1:1-3). Pablo declara que había cientos de testigos oculares de la resurrección que aún vivían cuando escribió su primera carta a los Corintios durante el primer siglo (\u003Cem>ver&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>1 Corintios 15:3-8). En otras palabras, Pablo estaba diciendo que uno podía ir y preguntar a cualquiera de estas personas y ellas podrían confirmar las afirmaciones de los apóstoles.

Cientos de profecías se dan en el Antiguo Testamento y ninguna ha fallado. Por ejemplo, en Isaías 44:18-45:13, el profeta Isaías profetizó que Dios levantaría a un gobernante llamado Ciro para reconstruir la ciudad de Jerusalén. Unos pocos cientos de años después, Ciro, rey de Persia, decretó que se reconstruyera la ciudad de Jerusalén. En Daniel 7:6 y 8:21-22, Daniel profetizó el rápido ascenso del imperio griego bajo Alejandro Magno y la división de su imperio en cuatro partes después de su muerte. Más de 200 años después, Alejandro Magno conquistó gran parte del mundo. Después de su muerte, el imperio fue dividido entre sus generales en cuatro partes, aunque, como predijo Daniel, ninguno gobernó con la fuerza de Alejandro.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; El Antiguo Testamento también hace numerosas profecías acerca de la primera venida del Mesías y todas se cumplieron. Por ejemplo, Isaías 7:14 predice que el Mesías nacería de una virgen. Unos 700 años después, el escritor del Evangelio Mateo registra que esta profecía se cumplió en el nacimiento virginal de Jesús (Mateo 1:18-23). El profeta Miqueas predijo en Miqueas 5:2 que el Mesías nacería en Belén. Más de 700 años después, Mateo vuelve a registrar el cumplimiento de esta profecía en Jesús, quien nació en Belén (Mateo 2:1-6).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; En Isaías 53 el profeta Isaías predijo al Mesías como el Siervo Sufriente que hace expiación por la humanidad perdida. Los cuatro Evangelios registran la muerte sustitutoria en la cruz por Jesús para expiar los pecados del mundo. Otro texto mesiánico interesante es el Salmo 22. Cuando Jesús estaba muriendo en la cruz, clamó con voz fuerte citando el Salmo 22:1, “¡Elí, Elí, ¿lama sabactani?” El Salmo 22:7-8 dice: “Todos los que me ven se burlan de mí; disparan el labio, menean la cabeza, diciendo: ‘Confió en el SEÑOR, que lo rescate; que lo libre, puesto que en él se deleita’”. Curiosamente, esto es lo que los principales sacerdotes, escribas y ancianos dijeron de Jesús mientras estaba en la cruz (Mateo 27:39-43). El Salmo continúa en los versículos 14-15 describiendo el sufrimiento y la sed del Mesías y los Evangelios registran que Jesús dijo “Tengo sed” mientras estaba en la cruz, en cumplimiento del Salmo 22 (Juan 19:28). El Salmo 22:16-18 dice: “horadaron mis manos y mis pies; puedo contar todos mis huesos. Me miran y me observan. Reparten entre sí mis vestidos, y sobre mi ropa echan suertes”. Mateo 27:35 registra que los soldados cumplieron esta profecía. Por último, la frase del versículo 16, “horadaron mis manos y mis pies” fue escrita 1.000 años antes de Cristo por un hombre que nunca había presenciado una crucifixión porque la crucifixión aún no se había inventado.\u003Ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.truelife.org\u002FTrueLife%20Article\u002F5-Why%20Believe%20the%20Bible?#_edn10\">[10]\u003C\u002Fa>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Muchas predicciones en la Biblia están adecuadamente separadas por el tiempo de su cumplimiento.

La Biblia fue escrita en tres idiomas diferentes (hebreo, arameo y griego) en tres continentes diferentes (África, Asia y Europa). La Biblia fue escrita por más de 40 autores diferentes, la mayoría de los cuales nunca se conocieron entre sí. La Biblia fue escrita durante un período de 1500 años (aprox. 1450 a. C. – 100 d. C.). Sin embargo, la Biblia cuenta una historia singularmente entrelazada.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wysiwyg-text-align-center\">&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wysiwyg-text-align-center\">Conclusión: La Palabra de Dios es Verdadera\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Entonces, ¿por qué creer en la Biblia? La Biblia afirma ser la Palabra de Dios. La fiabilidad de las afirmaciones bíblicas se demuestra por numerosas evidencias. La asombrosa evidencia manuscrita del Antiguo y Nuevo Testamento confirma que las palabras originales de la Biblia han sido fielmente preservadas. El testimonio ocular confiable del Nuevo Testamento confirma los relatos históricos registrados en el Nuevo Testamento. Los detalles históricos de la Biblia son confirmados repetidamente por la arqueología. El vasto número de profecías cumplidas confirma el origen divino de la Biblia. Además, la asombrosa consistencia del mensaje de la Biblia a lo largo de los siglos por numerosos autores da testimonio de su origen divino. Creer que la Biblia es simplemente un libro hecho por el hombre sería un milagro aún mayor que los mismos milagros que la Biblia proclama. Cuando uno examina la naturaleza de la Biblia, la conclusión es que ningún hombre común podría lograr esto. Es más razonable concluir que debe haber un Dios detrás del texto bíblico que se ha revelado a nosotros. Rechazar el origen divino y la fiabilidad de la Biblia parece estirar toda credulidad.

Les manuscrits hébreux datés d’environ 1000 apr. J.-C., ainsi que les textes modernes que nous possédons maintenant, préservent-ils fidèlement les manuscrits originaux ?

Ces rouleaux (textes complets ou fragments) contiennent tous les livres de l’Ancien Testament, à l’exception du livre d’Esther. Les manuscrits de la mer Morte sont datés entre 200 av. J.-C. et 70 apr. J.-C. La datation au carbone 14 confirme la datation des manuscrits de la mer Morte, ainsi que les preuves archéologiques, la paléographie et les allusions internes (références) dans les rouleaux. Auparavant, les plus anciens manuscrits de l’Ancien Testament disponibles dataient d’environ 900 apr. J.-C. La découverte des manuscrits de la mer Morte fait reculer la datation des manuscrits de l’Ancien Testament disponibles de 1 000 ans ! Lorsque les rouleaux ont été examinés, il a été découvert que les scribes étaient précis avec une grande exactitude. Beaucoup de textes bibliques des manuscrits de la mer Morte sont remarquablement presque identiques au texte massorétique hébreu (sur lequel la Bible moderne est basée), à l’exception de quelques différences mineures (comme quelques détails orthographiques). Les manuscrits de la mer Morte démontrent la fiabilité et la transmission fidèle du texte de l’Ancien Testament. En d’autres termes, nous pouvons être assurés que ce que nous avons \u003Cem>maintenant\u003C\u002Fem> est ce qui a été \u003Cem>originellement\u003C\u002Fem> écrit.

Ce fragment de papyrus a été découvert en Égypte et est daté d'environ 125 apr. J.-C., ce qui constitue une preuve convaincante de la circulation précoce de l'Évangile de Jean. Le papyrus de John Rylands date de quelques décennies seulement, voire moins, du manuscrit original. Cela peut ne pas sembler si impressionnant jusqu'à ce que l'on compare ces chiffres avec d'autres documents anciens. Par exemple, il n'existe qu'une poignée de copies des écrits historiques d'Hérodote, la plus ancienne copie datant de 1 300 ans après l'original.

Cependant, ses investigations archéologiques l'ont amené à voir que son scepticisme n'était pas justifié. Il a connu un changement d'attitude profond.

Pierre a clairement indiqué qu'ils ne suivaient pas des mythes, mais qu'ils enregistraient des événements réels qui s'étaient déroulés dans l'histoire. Pierre atteste en outre « nous avons été témoins oculaires de sa majesté » (2 Pierre 1:16). Jean affirme également « ce que nous avons vu et entendu, nous vous l'annonçons » (1 Jean 1:1-3). Paul déclare qu'il y avait des centaines de témoins oculaires de la résurrection encore vivants au moment où il a écrit sa première lettre aux Corinthiens au cours du premier siècle (\u003Cem>voir&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>1 Corinthiens 15:3-8). En d'autres termes, Paul affirmait que l'on pouvait aller demander à n'importe laquelle de ces personnes et qu'elles pourraient confirmer les affirmations des apôtres. Si les écrivains bibliques faisaient des affirmations sur le Christ qui n'étaient pas vraies, alors certainement quelqu'un qui a été témoin de la vie de Jésus aurait parlé contre ces affirmations. Cependant, il n'existe aucun document historique externe de cette période contraire au témoignage oculaire du Nouveau Testament.

On devrait pouvoir littéralement aller déterrer le passé et voir si cela confirme l'Écriture. C'est exactement ce que l'on trouve en explorant les artefacts archéologiques.

Des centaines de prophéties sont données dans l’Ancien Testament et aucune n’a échoué. Par exemple, dans Isaïe 44:18-45:13, le prophète Isaïe a prophétisé que Dieu susciterait un souverain nommé Cyrus pour reconstruire la ville de Jérusalem. Quelques siècles plus tard, Cyrus, roi de Perse, décréta la reconstruction de la ville de Jérusalem. Dans Daniel 7:6 et 8:21-22, Daniel prophétisa la rapide ascension de l’empire grec sous Alexandre le Grand et la division de son empire en quatre parties après sa mort. Plus de 200 ans plus tard, Alexandre le Grand conquit une grande partie du monde. Après sa mort, l’empire fut divisé entre ses généraux en quatre parties, bien que, comme Daniel l’avait prédit, aucun ne régna avec la force d’Alexandre.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; L’Ancien Testament contient également de nombreuses prophéties concernant la première venue du Messie, et toutes ont été accomplies. Par exemple, Ésaïe 7:14 prédit que le Messie naîtrait d’une vierge. Environ 700 ans plus tard, l’évangéliste Matthieu rapporte que cette prophétie s’est accomplie dans la naissance virginale de Jésus (Matthieu 1:18-23). Le prophète Michée annonça dans Michée 5:2 que le Messie naîtrait à Bethléem. Plus de 700 ans plus tard, Matthieu enregistre à nouveau l’accomplissement de cette prophétie en Jésus, qui est né à Bethléem (Matthieu 2:1-6).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dans Ésaïe 53, le prophète Ésaïe annonce le Messie comme le Serviteur souffrant qui fait l’expiation pour l’humanité perdue. Les quatre Évangiles relatent la mort expiatoire de Jésus sur la croix pour le péché du monde. Un autre texte messianique intéressant est le Psaume 22. Alors que Jésus mourait sur la croix, il s’écria d’une voix forte en citant le Psaume 22:1 : « Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani ? » Le Psaume 22:7-8 déclare : « Tous ceux qui me voient se moquent de moi ; ils avancent les lèvres, ils hochent la tête, en disant : “Il s’est confié à l’Éternel ; qu’il le délivre ! qu’il le sauve, puisqu’il prend plaisir en lui !” » C’est précisément ce que les principaux sacrificateurs, les scribes et les anciens dirent de Jésus pendant qu’il était sur la croix (Matthieu 27:39-43). Le Psaume poursuit aux versets 14-15 en décrivant la souffrance et la soif du Messie, et les Évangiles rapportent que Jésus a dit « J’ai soif » sur la croix, accomplissant ainsi le Psaume 22 (Jean 19:28). Le Psaume 22:16-18 déclare : « ils ont percé mes mains et mes pieds ; je peux compter tous mes os. Ils me regardent et me contemplent. Ils se partagent mes vêtements entre eux, et ils jettent le sort sur ma tunique. » Matthieu 27:35 rapporte que les soldats ont accompli cette prophétie. Enfin, l’expression du verset 16, « ils ont percé mes mains et mes pieds », a été écrite 1 000 ans avant Christ par un homme qui n’avait jamais assisté à une crucifixion, car la crucifixion n’avait pas encore été inventée.\u003Ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.truelife.org\u002FTrueLife%20Article\u002F5-Why%20Believe%20the%20Bible?#_edn10\">[10]\u003C\u002Fa>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; De nombreuses prédictions bibliques sont suffisamment séparées dans le temps de leur accomplissement.

La Bible a été écrite en trois langues différentes (hébreu, araméen et grec) sur trois continents différents (Afrique, Asie et Europe). La Bible a été écrite par plus de 40 auteurs différents, dont la plupart ne se sont jamais rencontrés. La Bible a été écrite sur une période de 1 500 ans (environ 1450 av. J.-C. – 100 apr. J.-C.). Pourtant, la Bible raconte une seule histoire tissée ensemble.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wysiwyg-text-align-center\">&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wysiwyg-text-align-center\">Conclusion : La Parole de Dieu est vraie\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Alors, pourquoi croire la Bible ? La Bible prétend être la Parole de Dieu. La fiabilité des affirmations bibliques est démontrée par de nombreuses preuves. L’étonnante évidence manuscrite de l’Ancien et du Nouveau Testament confirme que les paroles originales de la Bible ont été fidèlement préservées. Le témoignage oculaire fiable du Nouveau Testament confirme les récits historiques consignés dans le Nouveau Testament. Les détails historiques de la Bible sont confirmés à maintes reprises par l’archéologie. Le grand nombre de prophéties accomplies confirme l’origine divine de la Bible. De plus, l’étonnante cohérence du message de la Bible au fil des siècles par de nombreux auteurs atteste de son origine divine. Croire que la Bible n’est qu’un livre fabriqué par l’homme serait un miracle encore plus grand que les miracles que la Bible proclame. Quand on examine la nature de la Bible, on conclut qu’aucun simple homme n’aurait pu accomplir cela. Il est tout à fait raisonnable de conclure qu’il doit y avoir un Dieu derrière le texte biblique qui s’est révélé à nous. Rejeter l’origine divine et la fiabilité de la Bible semble défier toute crédibilité.

성취된 예언은 성경을 다른 모든 책과 구별시켜 주는데, 이는 전 세계의 어떤 종교 문헌도 성취된 예언을 주장할 수 없기 때문입니다. 구약성경에는 수백 개의 예언이 주어졌으며, 단 한 개도 실패하지 않았습니다. 예를 들어, 이사야 44:18-45:13에서 선지자 이사야는 하나님이 예루살렘 성을 재건할 키루스라는 통치자를 일으키실 것이라고 예언했습니다. 수백 년 후 페르시아의 왕 키루스가 예루살렘 성을 재건하라고 선포했습니다. 다니엘 7:6과 8:21-22에서 다니엘은 알렉산더 대왕 치하의 그리스 제국의 신속한 부상과 그의 사후 제국이 네 부분으로 분할될 것을 예언했습니다. 200년 이상이 지난 후 알렉산더 대왕은 세계의 많은 부분을 정복했습니다. 그의 사후 제국은 그의 장군들 사이에 네 부분으로 분할되었으며, 다니엘이 예언한 대로 알렉산더의 힘으로 통치한 사람은 없었습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 구약성경은 또한 메시아의 초림에 관한 수많은 예언을 담고 있으며, 이 모든 예언은 성취되었습니다. 예를 들어, 이사야 7:14은 메시아가 처녀에게서 태어날 것이라고 예언합니다. 약 700년 후, 복음서 기자 마태는 이 예언이 예수의 동정녀 탄생으로 성취되었음을 기록합니다(마태복음 1:18-23). 미가 선지자는 미가 5:2에서 메시아가 베들레헴에서 태어날 것이라고 예언했습니다. 700년이 넘는 세월이 흐른 후, 마태는 다시 이 예언이 베들레헴에서 태어난 예수 안에서 성취되었음을 기록합니다(마태복음 2:1-6).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 이사야 53장에서 이사야 선지자는 메시아를 잃어버린 인류를 위해 속죄하는 고난의 종으로 예언했습니다. 네 복음서는 모두 세상의 죄를 속죄하기 위해 예수께서 십자가에서 대속의 죽음을 죽으신 것을 기록합니다. 또 다른 흥미로운 메시아 예언은 시편 22편입니다. 예수께서 십자가에서 죽어가실 때 큰 소리로 시편 22:1을 인용하여 “엘리 엘리 라마 사박다니?”라고 외치셨습니다. 시편 22:7-8은 “나를 보는 자는 다 나를 비웃으며 입술을 비쭉거리고 머리를 흔들며 말하되 그가 여호와께 의탁하니 구원하실 걸, 그를 기뻐하시니 건지실 걸 하나이다”라고 말합니다. 흥미롭게도 이는 예수께서 십자가에 달려 계실 때 대제사장들과 서기관들과 장로들이 한 말입니다(마태복음 27:39-43). 시편은 14-15절에서 메시아의 고난과 목마름을 묘사하고 있으며, 복음서는 예수께서 십자가 위에서 “내가 목마르다”고 말씀하신 것이 시편 22편의 성취임을 기록합니다(요한복음 19:28). 시편 22:16-18은 “그들이 내 손과 발을 찔렀으며 내 모든 뼈를 셀 수 있나이다 그들이 나를 주목하여 보고 내 옷을 나누며 내 옷을 제비 뽑나이다”라고 말합니다. 마태복음 27:35는 병사들이 이 예언을 성취했음을 기록합니다. 마지막으로, 16절의 “그들이 내 손과 발을 찔렀다”는 구절은 그리스도보다 1,000년 전에, 십자가형이 아직 발명되지 않아 목격한 적이 없는 사람에 의해 기록되었습니다.\u003Ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.truelife.org\u002FTrueLife%20Article\u002F5-Why%20Believe%20the%20Bible?#_edn10\">[10]\u003C\u002Fa>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Four Gospels\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>The three synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) were penned before AD&nbsp;70.&nbsp;Matthew, one of the 12 disciples, recorded his first-hand account.&nbsp;Mark recorded the Apostle Peter's recollections.&nbsp;Luke, missionary companion of the Apostle Paul, consulted many eye-witnesses.&nbsp;John, also an eyewitness of Christ, penned his gospel toward the end of the 1st&nbsp;century.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>II. The NT Epistles\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Many New Testament Epistles were written before these gospel accounts.&nbsp;James, the Brother of Jesus, penned his book around AD 45, just over a decade after Christ’s death.&nbsp;Paul wrote his epistle to the Galatians around AD 47 to 48. These early epistles all clearly refer to Jesus as Lord, a reference to his deity.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>So&nbsp;we see that the New Testament epistles were written by the apostles during a period in history where the eye-witnesses were still alive, therefore they were personally able to validate the writings of the New Testament and prevented any myth from developing in the accounts.&nbsp;So what are the earliest manuscripts of the New Testament and how many do we have?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>III. Earliest Manuscripts of the New Testament\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Early papyrus copies rapidly circulated throughout the Roman Empire. Scholars have discovered about 120 of these early manuscripts. Some even have large portions of the New Testament while others contain a single book or page. They date from about AD 100&nbsp;to about AD 700.&nbsp;For example, the Apostle John wrote the fourth gospel at the end of the 1st century.

Reliability of the New Testament Authors\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Eye-Witnesses:&nbsp;Many of the men who wrote the New Testament actually&nbsp;witnessed the events they recorded.&nbsp;The Apostle Peter said, ‘We were eye-witnesses&nbsp;of his majesty.” The Apostle John says, “We have&nbsp;seen with our eyes, have&nbsp;looked upon, and our hands have handled,\" referring to Jesus. John also says, “And the Word Jesus Christ became flesh and dwelt&nbsp;among us, and we beheld his glory.”\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Some skeptics claim that none of the New Testament gospel writers met&nbsp;Jesus.&nbsp;The gospel of John bears all the marks of a true eye-witness account.&nbsp;It was clearly written by a Palestinian Jew, of the 1st century who&nbsp;was familiar with Jewish customs, religion, and geography.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>One critic, Sir William Ramsey investigated Luke’s gospel and the Book of Acts.&nbsp;Ramsey was surprised to find the books to be historically accurate with great precision and concluded that the&nbsp;works were completely authentic.&nbsp;As a result, he trusted Christ&nbsp;and become a great&nbsp;defender of the faith.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Our next question: “Why [were] the 27 books of the New Testament were accepted, while others were not?”\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>V.

The Eastern church had also adopted Hebrews&nbsp;and the West accepted Revelation.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Some people claim that Constantine exerted a great influence on the&nbsp;books chosen for the New Testament and even their content.&nbsp;Nowhere is there any indication that Constantine tried to influence the&nbsp;selection or contents of the books of scripture.&nbsp;It would have been impossible for him to change the contents of&nbsp;individual books because they had circulated among the churches&nbsp;for over 200 years.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>The first person to publish a list of New Testament books exactly as it is&nbsp;today was Athenasius, Bishop of Alexandria, in his Easter letter in AD 367.&nbsp;Since then, few have questioned the contents of the canon, at least until recent times.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>VI. Transmission of the New Testament Over the Centuries\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Some critics claim that all we have today in our manuscripts and translations are the accumulated errors of centuries of copying the text&nbsp;with little or nothing resembling the original manuscripts from the 1st century. In the earliest period of copying, there were some still living (e.g. Papias and Polycarp) who personally knew&nbsp;the authors of the New Testament. There also remained some who were eye-witnesses of those recorded events.&nbsp;Those witnesses would have quickly pointed out any errors introduced by later copyists.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>What Happened to the Original Manuscripts?&nbsp;The NT writings were completed during the 1st century AD.&nbsp;However, their original fragile papyrus documents disappeared within years&nbsp;after they were written generally due to wear and tear.&nbsp;Yet the test of those original documents remained in existence, preserving copies and maintained through many subsequent generations that spanned the centuries.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Are the Copied Manuscripts Reliable?&nbsp;The New Testament has been copied thousand of times, which&nbsp;naturally leads to copyists errors, arising in some of the manuscripts.&nbsp;Fortunately, if the great number of New Testament manuscripts&nbsp;increases the number of scribal errors.&nbsp;It also increases proportionately the means of correcting the errors.&nbsp;The vast number of manuscripts ensures the spotting of&nbsp;scribal errors&nbsp;and also the ability to confidently preserve the exact wording&nbsp;of the originals by comparing the numerous copies of manuscripts.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Stable Transmission of the New Testament:&nbsp;Copies were not made at a single location.&nbsp;They [were not] deliberately conformed to a single master copy imposed by&nbsp;church authority.&nbsp;So the independence of the scribes at different locations created multiple lines&nbsp;of text transmission.&nbsp;When these independent lines agree on their text, their testimony is of the highest value. Through this process the common text accurately preserves the original writings of the apostles.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Vast Number of New Testament Manuscripts:&nbsp;To all this should be added the vast number&nbsp;of manuscript copies&nbsp;available.&nbsp;Between the 1st century and the 16th, there exist over 24 thousand&nbsp;manuscripts when you include Greek, Latin, Syriac, Coptic, and other ancient languages. In the Greek language alone, there are over 5400 manuscripts.&nbsp;This evidence serves as overwhelming confirmation of the integrity of the New Testament texts being preserved. There’s no other document in all of antiquity that even comes close to what we have in the Bible.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>VII. Translation of the New Testament Texts\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Can the Greek writings [of the New Testament] . . . be accurately translated into everyday languages of today?&nbsp;Absolutely!&nbsp;Numerous other works of classical Greek and Latin antiquity are&nbsp;known to the modern reader only in translation&nbsp;and the general reliability of such translations are hardly questioned.&nbsp;As long as the translator renders accurately and precisely what the Greek New Testament text itself states, here should be little question regarding the accuracy of meaning being conveyed from the original text to our modern translations.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Key Scriptures:&nbsp;2 Peter 1:16; 1 John 1:1; John 1:14\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Recommended Further Reading:\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Encountering the New Testament: A Historical and Theological Survey, by Walter A.

L’apôtre Pierre a déclaré : « Nous avons été témoins oculaires de sa majesté. » L’apôtre Jean dit : « Ce que nous avons vu de nos yeux, ce que nous avons regardé et que nos mains ont touché », en parlant de Jésus. Jean dit aussi : « Et la Parole, Jésus-Christ, est devenue chair et a habité parmi nous, et nous avons contemplé sa gloire. »\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Certains sceptiques affirment qu’aucun des auteurs des évangiles du Nouveau Testament n’a rencontré Jésus. L’évangile de Jean porte toutes les marques d’un véritable récit de témoin oculaire. Il a clairement été écrit par un Juif palestinien du premier siècle, familier des coutumes, de la religion et de la géographie juives.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Un critique, Sir William Ramsay, a examiné l’évangile de Luc et le livre des Actes. Ramsay a été surpris de constater que ces livres étaient historiquement exacts avec une grande précision et a conclu que les ouvrages étaient complètement authentiques. En conséquence, il a fait confiance au Christ et est devenu un grand défenseur de la foi.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Notre question suivante : « Pourquoi les 27 livres du Nouveau Testament ont-ils été acceptés, tandis que d’autres ne l’ont pas été ? »\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>V. Le canon du Nouveau Testament : un bref historique\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Inclusion dans le canon : Un livre a été inclus dans le Nouveau Testament si : un apôtre, ou un proche compagnon d’un apôtre, l’a écrit ; les livres ont été rédigés au premier siècle ; les livres ne se contredisent pas eux-mêmes ni les Écritures de l’Ancien Testament ; ils ont été largement acceptés par l’Église primitive.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Reconnaissance du canon : La première personne connue de nous à avoir établi une liste complète des livres du Nouveau Testament fut Marcion vers 140 apr. J.-C. L’histoire se souvient de Marcion simplement parce qu’il a établi une liste canonique abrégée, incluant l’évangile de Luc et les lettres de Paul.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Vers 180 apr. J.-C., le canon des évangiles était complet. Le canon de Muratori du deuxième siècle est une liste de livres considérés comme faisant autorité dans l’Église primitive à cette époque. Il énumère les quatre évangiles, les Actes, les 13 lettres de Paul, ainsi que les lettres de Jean, Jude et l’Apocalypse. À la fin du deuxième siècle, d’autres livres (comme 1 Pierre et 1 Jean) ont également gagné une large acceptation. L’Église d’Orient avait également adopté l’épître aux Hébreux et l’Occident a accepté l’Apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Certain personnes affirment que Constantin a exercé une grande influence sur les&nbsp;livres choisis pour le Nouveau Testament et même sur leur contenu.&nbsp;Rien n’indique que Constantin ait tenté d’influencer la&nbsp;sélection ou le contenu des livres des Écritures.&nbsp;Il lui aurait été impossible de modifier le contenu des&nbsp;livres individuels parce qu’ils circulaient parmi les Églises&nbsp;depuis plus de 200 ans.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>La première personne à publier une liste des livres du Nouveau Testament exactement telle qu’elle est&nbsp;aujourd’hui fut Athanase, évêque d’Alexandrie, dans sa lettre de Pâques en 367 apr.

Transmission du Nouveau Testament au fil des siècles\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Certains critiques affirment que tout ce que nous possédons aujourd’hui dans nos manuscrits et nos traductions n’est que l’accumulation d’erreurs de siècles de copie du texte&nbsp;avec peu ou rien qui ressemble aux manuscrits originaux du 1er siècle. Dans la période la plus ancienne de la copie, il y avait encore des personnes vivantes (par exemple Papias et Polycarpe) qui connaissaient personnellement&nbsp;les auteurs du Nouveau Testament. Il restait également des personnes qui avaient été témoins oculaires des événements consignés.&nbsp;Ces témoins auraient rapidement signalé toute erreur introduite par des copistes ultérieurs.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Que sont devenus les manuscrits originaux ?&nbsp;Les écrits du NT ont été achevés au cours du 1er siècle apr. J.-C.&nbsp;Cependant, leurs fragiles documents originaux sur papyrus ont disparu quelques années&nbsp;après avoir été écrits, généralement en raison de l’usure.&nbsp;Pourtant, le témoignage de ces documents originaux est resté en existence, préservant des copies et maintenu à travers de nombreuses générations ultérieures qui ont traversé les siècles.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Les manuscrits copiés sont-ils fiables ?&nbsp;Le Nouveau Testament a été copié des milliers de fois, ce qui&nbsp;conduit naturellement à des erreurs de copistes, apparaissant dans certains manuscrits.&nbsp;Heureusement, si le grand nombre de manuscrits du Nouveau Testament&nbsp;augmente le nombre d’erreurs de scribes.&nbsp;Il augmente également proportionnellement les moyens de corriger les erreurs.&nbsp;Le nombre considérable de manuscrits assure la détection des&nbsp;erreurs de scribes&nbsp;et permet également de préserver avec confiance la formulation exacte&nbsp;des originaux en comparant les nombreuses copies de manuscrits.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Transmission stable du Nouveau Testament :&nbsp;Les copies n’ont pas été réalisées à un seul endroit.&nbsp;Elles [n’ont pas été] délibérément conformées à un seul exemplaire maître imposé par&nbsp;l’autorité ecclésiale.&nbsp;Ainsi, l’indépendance des scribes à différents endroits a créé de multiples lignées&nbsp;de transmission du texte.&nbsp;Lorsque ces lignées indépendantes s’accordent sur leur texte, leur témoignage est de la plus haute valeur. Grâce à ce processus, le texte commun préserve avec précision les écrits originaux des apôtres.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Nombre considérable de manuscrits du Nouveau Testament :&nbsp;À tout cela s’ajoute le nombre considérable&nbsp;de copies manuscrites&nbsp;disponibles.&nbsp;Entre le 1er siècle et le 16e, il existe plus de 24 000&nbsp;manuscrits lorsque l’on inclut le grec, le latin, le syriaque, le copte et d’autres langues anciennes. En grec seulement, il y a plus de 5 400 manuscrits.&nbsp;Ces preuves constituent une confirmation écrasante de l’intégrité des textes du Nouveau Testament préservés.

Through investigating the writings, the trustworthiness of the authors, and consistency with sources and events outside of the Bible, we can be assured that the Bible that we have today is indeed true and reliable. The authority of the Old Testament, and most of the New Testament relies on the authority of Jesus who is the Son of God and Savior of Man. &nbsp;Because of this, our examination must begin with the four Gospels, the books that relay the narrative of Jesus.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\tThe New Testament is only reliable to the extent that the authors can be trusted. Those who challenge the credibility of the authors of the New Testament argue that they either made no claims to record historical events or that they wrote much later than the actual events with the intention of deceiving their audience. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\tAll four authors were close and careful observers of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Matthew and John were both disciples of Jesus, which makes them eyewitnesses to the events they describe. Mark was not a disciple; but he was from Jerusalem, which would have made it likely that he was an eyewitness. There is also a strong tradition, testified to by Church father Papias in 125 AD, that Mark recorded the eyewitness observations of the disciple Peter. Luke wasn’t a disciple, and he wasn’t &nbsp;an eyewitness, but he did spend time with Paul and likely had contact with other eyewitnesses. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Scripture supports the view that the authors viewed themselves as communicating truth through the careful recording of history. At the beginning of his gospel, Luke even tells the reader how important it is to him to record the events he writes about accurately. He writes,” Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us, &nbsp;just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, &nbsp;it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, &nbsp;that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught” (Luke 1:1-4, All scripture quoted from the English Standard Version (ESV) of the Bible). He appeals to eyewitness testimony, how careful he was in gathering the information, and the assurance of truth that his account should give his audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\tMark writes that Jesus confirmed the truth of their message through His miracles (Mark 16:20), and John puts his own words on the same level with those delivered to the Hebrew people through Moses (John 5:46-47). John also concludes his account by affirming his authorship and trustworthiness in saying, “This is the disciple who is bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and we know that his testimony is true” (John 21:24)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\tThe writers of the gospels clearly claimed to be recording history, but can they be trusted? &nbsp;Is it possible that they wrote what they did in an attempt to deceive people? Or, could they have recorded the events inaccurately because as followers of Jesus they were biased?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\tThe accusation that the gospels are invented stories relies on a late dating of the original writings, also known as autographs. It takes years, more realistically centuries, for legends to develop. Most scholars of the Bible who are experts in determining when ancient texts were written propose dates between 40-60 AD for the gospels. The significance of this is that they were written within 30 years of the death of Jesus, meaning that many witnesses to the events would have still been living to either affirm or refute these claims. In his letter to the church at Corinth, which was written before the gospels, Paul writes of how the resurrected Jesus “appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive” (1 Corinthians 15:6). Even those scholars who attempt to undermine the validity of the gospels, date them around 70-100 AD. This simply doesn’t allow time for legend to develop and take hold. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\tThe gospels, particularly Matthew, Mark, and Luke, often overlap in the details of the events they describe. The fact that they tell the same story in different ways is evidence supporting the fact that these are independently researched accounts and not the product of an attempt to partner together in intentionally deceiving followers. The fact that 10 out of the 12 disciples were put to death because of their unwillingness to change their story regarding Jesus or their belief in Him is further evidence that they were not simply lying for personal gain. It is unlikely that they all be willing to die to protect a lie.\tLike all authors, the writers had a bias. They wrote to convince people to believe in Jesus. Winfried Corduan, professor of philosophy and religion at Taylor University, notes the difference between ancient histories written to glorify kings and rulers and the objectivity of the Bible. He writes, “If the Gospel writers had intended to present nothing more than propaganda for their belief in Jesus, they might have served their case better by leaving out phases of their description of Jesus that turn off the unbelieving reader.” &nbsp;They likely would have simplified difficult teaching and would have excised the portions of Scripture that cast Jesus in a seemingly negative light.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\tSince we do not have the originals, we must rely on copies of the original texts. Manuscripts are handwritten copies written in the original language. Noted Christian apologist Norm Geisler notes that compared &nbsp;to other ancient works, the New Testament is preserved in an astounding number of “partial and complete manuscript portions that were copied by hand from the second (possibly even the first) through the fifteenth centuries.” The New Testament is “the most accurately copied book from the ancient world.” &nbsp;There are over 5,800 New Testament manuscripts, and the number continues to rise. In comparison, there are 251 surviving manuscripts of Caesar’s Gallic Wars. The large number of manuscripts makes it possible to more accurately determine what the original said. Mistakes in the copies, or variants, can be more readily distinguished through comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The dating of the manuscripts also lends support to the reliability of the New Testament record. For most ancient manuscripts, including Caesar’s Gallic Wars, the earliest manuscripts are dated around 1,000 years after the originals. The earliest New Testament manuscript, a fragment from John, is dated at around 50 years after the original; and there is a complete New Testament manuscript dated only 250 years after the original. More newly discovered manuscripts will likely push this dating back even further. These early dates decrease the likelihood of copyist errors, and reveal that eyewitnesses to the events would have still been living at the time that manuscripts were being circulated.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The manuscripts allow us to confirm the internal consistency of the Bible, and other histories of the time period further demonstrate its historical accuracy. Among extra-biblical sources, Tacitus, Josephus, and the Talmud provide some of the most interesting details from sources outside the Bible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cornelius Tacitus (ca. AD 55-120) was known as the “greatest historian” of ancient Rome. His work Annals confirms the fact that Christians were named for Christ, that Jesus was put to death by Pilate during the reign of Tiberius, that the doctrine of Christianity was carried to Rome, and that Christians were arrested and tortured. He also writes of a “superstition” that broke out again after Jesus’ death, perhaps a reference to the resurrection.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A Jewish historian writing for the Romans, Flavius Josephus (ca. AD 37-97), wrote earlier than Tacitus; but some of the information about Jesus in his work &nbsp;Antiquities is disputed. Some of his words appear to be an interpolation (something introduced or added to the original text) by Christians. It is believed that most of the text is genuine, and historians agree that he wrote of Jesus that James was His brother, that Pilate condemned Him to be crucified, that He was a wise man who was called messiah, and that His disciples proclaimed His teachings and believed in His resurrection.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Talmud is a collection of Jewish writings, which were initially preserved by oral tradition and recorded around 200 AD. Interestingly, the negative portrayal of Jesus found in the Talmud supports the gospel accounts. It is said that Jesus was guilty of “sorcery” and that He led His followers into “apostasy.” The apostasy may refer to Jesus’ acceptance of worship as God. The accusation of sorcery, while not a recognition of miracles as a confirmation of Jesus’ divinity, reveals that He performed supernatural acts that required an explanation. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In summary, by applying the same sort of investigation that any historical account would be expected to withstand, we find that the Bible is a trustworthy account of real events. The authors were reliable witnesses, the documents were well-preserved, and the facts that they relay are consistent with other documents.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>SUGGESTED RESOURCES:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Those who would like to read more on this topic are encouraged to check out:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>ONLINE RESOURCES:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Bible.org - Is the Bible Reliable?

A trav&eacute;s de la investigaci&oacute;n de los escritos, la confiabilidad de los autores y la coherencia con las fuentes y eventos fuera de la Biblia, podemos estar seguros de que la Biblia que tenemos hoy es verdaderamente verdadera y confiable. La autoridad del Antiguo Testamento, y la mayor parte del Nuevo Testamento se basa en la autoridad de Jes&uacute;s, que es el Hijo de Dios y Salvador del Hombre. Debido a esto, nuestro examen debe comenzar con los cuatro Evangelios, los libros que transmiten la narrativa de Jes&uacute;s.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>El Nuevo Testamento solo es confiable en la medida en que se puede confiar en los autores. Quienes cuestionan la credibilidad de los autores del Nuevo Testamento argumentan que no hicieron ning&uacute;n reclamo para registrar eventos hist&oacute;ricos o que escribieron mucho m&aacute;s tarde que los eventos reales con la intenci&oacute;n de enga&ntilde;ar a su audiencia.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Los cuatro autores fueron observadores cercanos y cuidadosos de la vida, muerte y resurrecci&oacute;n de Jes&uacute;s. Mateo y Juan fueron disc&iacute;pulos de Jes&uacute;s, lo que los convierte en testigos presenciales de los eventos que describen. Marcos no era un disc&iacute;pulo; pero &eacute;l era de Jerusal&eacute;n, lo que habr&iacute;a hecho probable que fuera un testigo ocular. Tambi&eacute;n hay una fuerte tradici&oacute;n, atestiguada por el padre de la Iglesia Papias en 125 DC, que Mark registr&oacute; las observaciones de testigos oculares del disc&iacute;pulo Pedro. Luke no era un disc&iacute;pulo, y no era un testigo ocular, pero s&iacute; pas&oacute; tiempo con Paul y probablemente tuvo contacto con otros testigos.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Las Escrituras apoyan la opini&oacute;n de que los autores se ve&iacute;an a s&iacute; mismos como comunicando la verdad a trav&eacute;s del registro cuidadoso de la historia. Al comienzo de su evangelio, Lucas incluso le dice al lector lo importante que es para &eacute;l registrar los eventos sobre los que escribe con precisi&oacute;n. &Eacute;l escribe: \"En la medida en que muchos se han comprometido a compilar una narraci&oacute;n de las cosas que se han logrado entre nosotros, as&iacute; como aquellos que desde el principio fueron testigos oculares y ministros de la palabra nos los entregaron, tambi&eacute;n me pareci&oacute; bien, despu&eacute;s de haber seguido todas las cosas de cerca durante alg&uacute;n tiempo, para escribir una cuenta ordenada para usted, el m&aacute;s excelente Theophilus, para que tenga certeza sobre las cosas que le han ense&ntilde;ado &rdquo;(Lucas 1: 1-4, Todas las escrituras citadas del Est&aacute;ndar Ingl&eacute;s Versi&oacute;n (ESV) de la Biblia). Hace un llamamiento al testimonio de testigos oculares, lo cuidadoso que fue al recopilar la informaci&oacute;n y la seguridad de la verdad que su cuenta debe dar a su audiencia.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Marcos escribe que Jes&uacute;s confirm&oacute; la verdad de su mensaje a trav&eacute;s de Sus milagros (Marcos 16:20), y Juan pone sus propias palabras al mismo nivel que las que se le entregaron al pueblo hebreo a trav&eacute;s de Mois&eacute;s (Juan 5: 46-47). John tambi&eacute;n concluye su relato afirmando su autor&iacute;a y confiabilidad al decir: \"Este es el disc&iacute;pulo que da testimonio de estas cosas, y que ha escrito estas cosas, y sabemos que su testimonio es verdadero\" (Juan 21:24)\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Los escritores de los evangelios claramente afirmaron estar registrando la historia, pero &iquest;se puede confiar en ellos? &iquest;Es posible que escribieran lo que hicieron en un intento de enga&ntilde;ar a la gente? &iquest;O podr&iacute;an haber registrado los eventos de manera inexacta porque, como seguidores de Jes&uacute;s, fueron parcializados?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>La acusaci&oacute;n de que los evangelios son historias inventadas se basa en una dataci&oacute;n tard&iacute;a de los escritos originales, tambi&eacute;n conocidos como aut&oacute;grafos. Se necesitan a&ntilde;os, siglos m&aacute;s realistas, para que se desarrollen las leyendas. La mayor&iacute;a de los estudiosos de la Biblia que son expertos en determinar cu&aacute;ndo se escribieron los textos antiguos proponen fechas entre los a&ntilde;os 40-60 dC para los evangelios. El significado de esto es que fueron escritos dentro de los 30 a&ntilde;os posteriores a la muerte de Jes&uacute;s, lo que significa que muchos testigos de los eventos a&uacute;n habr&iacute;an vivido para afirmar o refutar estas afirmaciones. En su carta a la iglesia en Corinto, que fue escrita antes de los evangelios, Pablo escribe c&oacute;mo Jes&uacute;s resucitado \"se apareci&oacute; a m&aacute;s de quinientos hermanos a la vez, la mayor&iacute;a de los cuales todav&iacute;a est&aacute;n vivos\" (1 Corintios 15: 6). Incluso aquellos eruditos que intentan socavar la validez de los evangelios, fechan alrededor de 70-100 DC. Esto simplemente no deja tiempo para que la leyenda se desarrolle y se arraigue.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Los evangelios, particularmente Mateo, Marcos y Lucas, a menudo se superponen en los detalles de los eventos que describen. El hecho de que cuenten la misma historia de diferentes maneras es evidencia que respalda el hecho de que estos son relatos investigados de forma independiente y no el producto de un intento de asociarse para enga&ntilde;ar intencionalmente a los seguidores. El hecho de que 10 de los 12 disc&iacute;pulos fueron ejecutados debido a su falta de voluntad para cambiar su historia con respecto a Jes&uacute;s o su creencia en &Eacute;l es una prueba m&aacute;s de que no estaban simplemente mintiendo para beneficio personal. Es poco probable que todos est&eacute;n dispuestos a morir para proteger una mentira. Como todos los autores, los escritores ten&iacute;an un sesgo. Escribieron para convencer a la gente de creer en Jes&uacute;s. Winfried Corduan, profesor de filosof&iacute;a y religi&oacute;n en la Universidad de Taylor, observa la diferencia entre las historias antiguas escritas para glorificar a reyes y gobernantes y la objetividad de la Biblia. &Eacute;l escribe: \"Si los escritores del Evangelio hubieran tenido la intenci&oacute;n de presentar nada m&aacute;s que propaganda por su creencia en Jes&uacute;s, podr&iacute;an haber servido mejor a su caso al dejar de lado las fases de su descripci&oacute;n de Jes&uacute;s que apagan al lector incr&eacute;dulo\". simplific&oacute; la ense&ntilde;anza dif&iacute;cil y habr&iacute;a eliminado las porciones de las Escrituras que arrojaban a Jes&uacute;s en una luz aparentemente negativa.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Como no tenemos los originales, debemos confiar en las copias de los textos originales. Los manuscritos son copias manuscritas escritas en el idioma original. El destacado apologista cristiano Norm Geisler se&ntilde;ala que, en comparaci&oacute;n con otras obras antiguas, el Nuevo Testamento se conserva en un sorprendente n&uacute;mero de \"porciones de manuscritos parciales y completas que se copiaron a mano desde el segundo (posiblemente incluso el primero) hasta los siglos XV\". El Nuevo Testamento es \"el libro copiado con mayor precisi&oacute;n del mundo antiguo\". Hay m&aacute;s de 5.800 manuscritos del Nuevo Testamento, y el n&uacute;mero sigue aumentando. En comparaci&oacute;n, hay 251 manuscritos sobrevivientes de las Guerras G&aacute;licas de C&eacute;sar. La gran cantidad de manuscritos permite determinar con mayor precisi&oacute;n lo que dice el original. Los errores en las copias, o variantes, se pueden distinguir m&aacute;s f&aacute;cilmente a trav&eacute;s de la comparaci&oacute;n.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>La dataci&oacute;n de los manuscritos tambi&eacute;n respalda la confiabilidad del registro del Nuevo Testamento. Para la mayor&iacute;a de los manuscritos antiguos, incluidas las Guerras G&aacute;licas de C&eacute;sar, los primeros manuscritos datan de aproximadamente 1,000 a&ntilde;os despu&eacute;s de los originales. El primer manuscrito del Nuevo Testamento, un fragmento de John, data de unos 50 a&ntilde;os despu&eacute;s del original; y hay un manuscrito completo del Nuevo Testamento fechado solo 250 a&ntilde;os despu&eacute;s del original. Los manuscritos m&aacute;s recientemente descubiertos probablemente retrasar&aacute;n a&uacute;n m&aacute;s esta dataci&oacute;n. Estas primeras fechas disminuyen la probabilidad de errores de los copistas y revelan que los testigos oculares de los eventos a&uacute;n habr&iacute;an estado viviendo en el momento en que circulaban los manuscritos.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Los manuscritos nos permiten confirmar la consistencia interna de la Biblia, y otras historias del per&iacute;odo de tiempo demuestran a&uacute;n m&aacute;s su precisi&oacute;n hist&oacute;rica.

Tambi&eacute;n escribe sobre una \"superstici&oacute;n\" que estall&oacute; nuevamente despu&eacute;s de la muerte de Jes&uacute;s, tal vez una referencia a la resurrecci&oacute;n.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Un historiador jud&iacute;o que escribe para los romanos, Flavio Josefo (ca. 37-97 d.

Algunas de sus palabras parecen ser una interpolaci&oacute;n (algo introducido o agregado al texto original) por los cristianos. Se cree que la mayor parte del texto es genuino, y los historiadores coinciden en que escribi&oacute; acerca de Jes&uacute;s que Jacobo era su hermano, que Pilato lo conden&oacute; a ser crucificado, que era un hombre sabio que se llamaba mes&iacute;as y que sus disc&iacute;pulos proclamaron que era su hermano. ense&ntilde;anzas y cre&iacute;a en su resurrecci&oacute;n.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>El Talmud es una colecci&oacute;n de escritos jud&iacute;os, que inicialmente fueron preservados por la tradici&oacute;n oral y registrados alrededor del a&ntilde;o 200 DC. Curiosamente, la representaci&oacute;n negativa de Jes&uacute;s que se encuentra en el Talmud respalda los relatos del Evangelio. Se dice que Jes&uacute;s era culpable de \"brujer&iacute;a\" y que llev&oacute; a sus seguidores a la \"apostas&iacute;a\". La apostas&iacute;a puede referirse a la aceptaci&oacute;n de Jes&uacute;s de la adoraci&oacute;n como Dios. La acusaci&oacute;n de brujer&iacute;a, aunque no es un reconocimiento de los milagros como una confirmaci&oacute;n de la divinidad de Jes&uacute;s, revela que realiz&oacute; actos sobrenaturales que requer&iacute;an una explicaci&oacute;n.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>En resumen, al aplicar el mismo tipo de investigaci&oacute;n que se esperar&iacute;a que cualquier relato hist&oacute;rico resistiera, encontramos que la Biblia es un relato confiable de eventos reales.

En examinant les écrits, la fiabilité des auteurs et la cohérence avec des sources et des événements extérieurs à la Bible, nous pouvons être assurés que la Bible que nous avons aujourd’hui est bien vraie et digne de confiance. L’autorité de l’Ancien Testament, et la plupart du Nouveau Testament, repose sur l’autorité de Jésus qui est le Fils de Dieu et le Sauveur de l’humanité. &nbsp;C’est pourquoi notre examen doit commencer par les quatre Évangiles, les livres qui relatent le récit de Jésus.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\tLe Nouveau Testament n’est fiable que dans la mesure où les auteurs peuvent être considérés comme dignes de confiance. Ceux qui remettent en question la crédibilité des auteurs du Nouveau Testament soutiennent qu’ils n’ont pas prétendu rapporter des événements historiques ou qu’ils ont écrit bien après les événements réels dans l’intention de tromper leur public. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\tLes quatre auteurs étaient des observateurs proches et attentifs de la vie, de la mort et de la résurrection de Jésus. Matthieu et Jean étaient tous deux disciples de Jésus, ce qui en fait des témoins oculaires des événements qu’ils décrivent. Marc n’était pas un disciple ; mais il était originaire de Jérusalem, ce qui rend probable qu’il ait été un témoin oculaire. Il existe également une forte tradition, attestée par le père de l’Église Papias en 125 apr. J.-C., selon laquelle Marc a consigné les observations de témoin oculaire du disciple Pierre. Luc n’était pas un disciple, et il n’était pas &nbsp;un témoin oculaire, mais il a passé du temps avec Paul et a probablement eu des contacts avec d’autres témoins oculaires. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>L’Écriture soutient l’idée que les auteurs se considéraient comme transmettant la vérité par l’enregistrement minutieux de l’histoire. Au début de son évangile, Luc indique même au lecteur l’importance qu’il accorde à l’enregistrement fidèle des événements qu’il décrit. Il écrit : « Puisque plusieurs ont entrepris de composer un récit des événements qui se sont accomplis parmi nous, &nbsp;suivant ce que nous ont transmis ceux qui ont été dès le commencement témoins oculaires et serviteurs de la parole, &nbsp;il m’a semblé bon, à moi aussi, après avoir tout recherché avec soin depuis les origines, de t’en écrire par ordre, excellent Théophile, &nbsp;afin que tu reconnaisses la certitude des enseignements que tu as reçus » (Luc 1:1-4, Toutes les citations bibliques proviennent de la version anglaise standard (ESV) de la Bible). Il fait appel au témoignage des témoins oculaires, à la minutie avec laquelle il a recueilli les informations et à l’assurance de vérité que son récit devrait apporter à son public.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\tMarc écrit que Jésus a confirmé la vérité de leur message par ses miracles (Marc 16:20), et Jean place ses propres paroles au même niveau que celles transmises au peuple hébreu par Moïse (Jean 5:46-47). Jean conclut également son récit en affirmant sa paternité et sa fiabilité en disant : « C’est ce disciple qui rend témoignage de ces choses, et qui les a écrites. Et nous savons que son témoignage est vrai » (Jean 21:24)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\tLes auteurs des évangiles ont clairement affirmé enregistrer l’histoire, mais peut-on leur faire confiance ? &nbsp;Est-il possible qu’ils aient écrit ce qu’ils ont écrit dans le but de tromper les gens ? Ou auraient-ils pu enregistrer les événements de manière inexacte parce que, en tant que disciples de Jésus, ils étaient biaisés ? »\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\tL’accusation selon laquelle les évangiles sont des histoires inventées repose sur une datation tardive des écrits originaux, également appelés autographes. Il faut des années, plus réalistement des siècles, pour que des légendes se développent. La plupart des spécialistes de la Bible qui sont experts dans la détermination de la date des textes anciens proposent des dates entre 40 et 60 apr. J.-C. pour les évangiles. La signification de cela est qu’ils ont été écrits dans les 30 ans suivant la mort de Jésus, ce qui signifie que de nombreux témoins des événements vivaient encore pour affirmer ou réfuter ces affirmations. Dans sa lettre à l’église de Corinthe, qui a été écrite avant les évangiles, Paul écrit comment Jésus ressuscité « est apparu à plus de cinq cents frères à la fois, dont la plupart sont encore vivants » (1 Corinthiens 15:6). Même les savants qui tentent de remettre en question la validité des évangiles les datent autour de 70-100 apr. J.-C. Cela ne laisse tout simplement pas le temps à la légende de se développer et de s’imposer. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\tLes évangiles, en particulier Matthieu, Marc et Luc, se chevauchent souvent dans les détails des événements qu’ils décrivent. Le fait qu’ils racontent la même histoire de différentes manières est une preuve à l’appui du fait qu’il s’agit de récits recherchés indépendamment et non le produit d’une tentative de partenariat pour tromper intentionnellement les disciples. Le fait que 10 des 12 disciples aient été mis à mort parce qu’ils refusaient de changer leur récit concernant Jésus ou leur croyance en lui est une preuve supplémentaire qu’ils ne mentaient pas simplement pour un gain personnel. Il est peu probable qu’ils soient tous prêts à mourir pour protéger un mensonge.\tComme tous les auteurs, les écrivains avaient un parti pris. Ils ont écrit pour convaincre les gens de croire en Jésus. Winfried Corduan, professeur de philosophie et de religion à l’université Taylor, note la différence entre les histoires anciennes écrites pour glorifier les rois et les dirigeants et l’objectivité de la Bible. Il écrit : « Si les auteurs des Évangiles avaient eu l’intention de ne présenter que de la propagande pour leur croyance en Jésus, ils auraient peut-être mieux servi leur cause en omettant les phases de leur description de Jésus qui rebutent le lecteur incrédule. » &nbsp;Ils auraient probablement simplifié les enseignements difficiles et auraient supprimé les parties de l’Écriture qui présentent Jésus sous un jour apparemment négatif.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Puisque nous ne disposons pas des originaux, nous devons nous appuyer sur des copies des textes originaux. Les manuscrits sont des copies manuscrites rédigées dans la langue originale. L’apologiste chrétien renommé Norm Geisler note que, comparé&nbsp;à d’autres œuvres antiques, le Nouveau Testament est conservé dans un nombre impressionnant de « portions manuscrites partielles et complètes qui ont été copiées à la main du deuxième (voire du premier) au quinzième siècle ». Le Nouveau Testament est « le livre le plus fidèlement copié du monde antique ». Il existe plus de 5 800 manuscrits du Nouveau Testament, et ce nombre ne cesse d’augmenter. À titre de comparaison, il subsiste 251 manuscrits des Guerres des Gaules de César. Le grand nombre de manuscrits permet de déterminer plus précisément ce que disait l’original. Les erreurs dans les copies, ou variantes, peuvent être plus facilement distinguées par comparaison.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La datation des manuscrits renforce également la fiabilité du témoignage du Nouveau Testament. Pour la plupart des manuscrits anciens, y compris les Guerres des Gaules de César, les plus anciens manuscrits sont datés d’environ 1 000 ans après les originaux. Le plus ancien manuscrit du Nouveau Testament, un fragment de l’Évangile selon Jean, est daté d’environ 50 ans après l’original ; et il existe un manuscrit complet du Nouveau Testament daté de seulement 250 ans après l’original. De nouveaux manuscrits récemment découverts repousseront probablement encore davantage cette datation. Ces dates précoces réduisent la probabilité d’erreurs de copistes et révèlent que des témoins oculaires des événements vivaient encore au moment où les manuscrits circulaient.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les manuscrits nous permettent de confirmer la cohérence interne de la Bible, et d’autres récits historiques de l’époque démontrent davantage son exactitude historique. Parmi les sources extra-bibliques, Tacite, Flavius Josèphe et le Talmud fournissent certains des détails les plus intéressants provenant de sources extérieures à la Bible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cornelius Tacite (env. 55-120 apr. J.-C.) était considéré comme le « plus grand historien » de la Rome antique. Son ouvrage Annales confirme que les chrétiens portaient ce nom en raison du Christ, que Jésus fut mis à mort par Pilate sous le règne de Tibère, que la doctrine du christianisme fut portée à Rome, et que les chrétiens furent arrêtés et torturés. Il évoque également une « superstition » qui resurgit après la mort de Jésus, peut-être une allusion à la résurrection.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Historien juif écrivant pour les Romains, Flavius Josèphe (env. 37-97 apr. J.-C.) écrivit avant Tacite ; mais certaines informations sur Jésus dans son ouvrage&nbsp;Antiquités sont contestées. Certaines de ses paroles semblent être une interpolation (quelque chose introduit ou ajouté au texte original) par des chrétiens. On estime que la majeure partie du texte est authentique, et les historiens s’accordent à dire qu’il écrivit à propos de Jésus que Jacques était son frère, que Pilate le condamna à la crucifixion, qu’il était un homme sage appelé messie, et que ses disciples proclamèrent ses enseignements et crurent en sa résurrection.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le Talmud est une collection d’écrits juifs, initialement préservés par tradition orale et consignés vers 200 apr. J.-C. Fait intéressant, la représentation négative de Jésus dans le Talmud soutient les récits évangéliques. Il est dit que Jésus était coupable de « sorcellerie » et qu’il entraîna ses disciples dans l’« apostasie ». L’apostasie peut faire référence à l’acceptation par Jésus d’un culte en tant que Dieu. L’accusation de sorcellerie, bien qu’elle ne reconnaisse pas les miracles comme une confirmation de la divinité de Jésus, révèle qu’il accomplit des actes surnaturels qui nécessitaient une explication.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En résumé, en appliquant le même type d’investigation que l’on attendrait de tout récit historique, nous constatons que la Bible est un témoignage fiable d’événements réels. Les auteurs étaient des témoins dignes de confiance, les documents ont été bien conservés, et les faits qu’ils rapportent sont cohérents avec d’autres documents.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>RESSOURCES SUGGÉRÉES :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ceux qui souhaitent en savoir plus sur ce sujet sont encouragés à consulter :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>RESSOURCES EN LIGNE :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Bible.org – La Bible est-elle fiable ?

The first three Gospels are so designated because they present the life and ministry of Jesus from a common point-of-view that is different from that of the Gospel of John, whose content is 92% unique. Further, John’s Gospel, written between A.D. 80 and 95, is usually dated later than the Synoptics, and no extensive literary dependence is readily discerned. In contrast, the Synoptics often use similar vocabulary and word order, tend to follow the same outline, and record similar material from the life and teachings of Jesus. Sometimes their accounts are almost identical. However, at other times important differences are clearly evident. This phenomena has given rise, especially in the modern era, to what is called the “Synoptic Problem” or “Synoptic Question.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>How then are we to understand and explain what appears to be an unmistakable literary relationship among the first three Gospels?

Primitive Gospel Theory\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Also known as the Ur-gospel Theory, this position was first posited by Gotthold E. Lessing in 1778 and suggests that the three biblical or canonical Gospels drew their material from an earlier, more primitive gospel written in Aramaic. Johann G. Eichhorn&nbsp;elaborated on Lessing’s theory in 1794, suggesting A.D. 35 as the date of origin for this primitive—though no longer extant—gospel.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There have been unfruitful and untenable ramifications of this model. Eichorn eliminated eyewitness authority for the existing Synoptic Gospels, claiming that the “primitive” gospel was written by a student of one of the apostles. This work was used as the basis for other gospels accounts prior to the writing of the extant Gospels as we know them today. Matthew, Mark, and Luke then used these gospels as the sources for their respective works, thus explaining the similarities seen within the Synoptics.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That an early gospel existed is certainly possible. However, such a theory has little if any historical support and, further, it both begins and concludes with extensive speculation. The idea originally postulated by Lessing had in and of itself one main flaw: if Matthew, Mark, and Luke drew from the same source (the Ur-gospel), why then do their Gospels differ as they do? Lessing’s theory is therefore unsatisfactory.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Eichhorn’s notion of multiple gospels succeeding the Ur-gospel creates additional problems as well. While it seems to solve the above flaw, Eichhorn’s claim that the extant Gospel writers are simply translations of non-existent, third-hand accounts undermines the authority historically given to the authors of the Synoptics. They are relegated to mere scribes void of any eyewitness credibility. Such a ramification leads to further logical conclusions which both a) compromise the integrity of the Gospels, and b) is inadequate to account for the historical data.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>2. Oral Tradition Theory\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>J. G. von Herder (1744-1803) posited the theory that an “oral gospel” or tradition of material was behind the Synoptic Gospels—that the Gospel material was passed along by word of mouth before being written down. This oral gospel would have originated with the disciples, passed along throughout Palestine between A.D. 35 and\u003Cstrong>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fstrong>40&nbsp; before spreading outward, and was most likely used to assist the earliest preachers and evangelists. Finally, several decades after its inception, the need for a permanent,&nbsp;written gospel arose. This led to the writing of the Synoptic Gospels.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The necessity for a concrete gospel was two-fold: first, the disciples were aging and there was a need to secure an accurate, eyewitness account of Jesus’ teachings. Second, a unified and definitive set of teachings were needed to combat early church heresy and to serve as the foundational basis of Christian doctrine. The result was the oral tradition finally being transcribed into written form and subsequently published. The new, written material was then used by Matthew, Mark, and Luke in the writing of their Gospels, thus explaining, according to Herder and other oral traditionists, the similarities among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That an early, orally transmitted form of Jesus’ teachings existed is not debated. There most certainly is some truth in this theory. However, in and of itself, this theory is insufficient to account for (a) the testified existence of early written accounts (see Luke 1:1-3), (b) the different order of events discovered in the Synoptics, and (c) the variations in form, content, vocabulary, grammar, and word order that are present in the Synoptic Gospels. Thus, while not wanting to minimize the influence of a&nbsp;common oral tradition upon the writers of the Synoptics, the phenomena of Synoptic Gospels seems to require more than a common oral tradition.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>3. Markan Priority\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Markan Priority theory was not advocated until the 19th&nbsp;century. However, due in large to the rise of historical criticism (especially the works of H. J. Holtzmann in 1863 and B. H. Streeter in 1924), it has become without question the most popular hypothesis among contemporary New Testament scholars. This model initially began as a two-source theory, though it is now usually expanded into a four-source theory.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Here Mark is viewed as the first Gospel written and is the foundation for Matthew and Luke, both of whom incorporated much of Mark. Matthew and Luke also utilized another source (usually assumed to have been written) commonly called Q, from the German word&nbsp;\u003Cem>Quelle\u003C\u002Fem>, meaning&nbsp;\u003Cem>source\u003C\u002Fem>. This second source is said to account for about 250 verses of mostly Jesus’ teaching material that is common to Matthew and Luke but not in Mark. Expanding the two-source theory, a supposed M-source is thought to account for material unique to Matthew, and an L-source is hypothetically set forth to account for material peculiar to Luke, thus explaining the additional material in their respective Gospels.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The case for Markan Priority primarily stems from the vast amount of material seen in both Matthew and Luke which is together repeated in Mark’s Gospel. However, there are other reasons Markan priority is commonly affirmed. First, many scholars insist Mark contains harder readings than Matthew and Luke, as the theological content of Mark is said to be more difficult. Rather than Mark taking the less complex passages in Matthew&nbsp;and Mark and making them more difficult, many scholars now suggest that Matthew and\u002For Luke edited Mark to make the readings easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Second, Mark is said to have the poorer Greek. Mark contains frequent redundancies, which are speculated to have been eliminated in the Gospels written by Matthew and Luke. Similar to above, it is easier to envision Matthew and Luke improving upon Mark’s Greek than to think Mark used Matthew and\u002For Luke and made the Greek more difficult and cumbersome.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Third, Mark’s theology is less developed than the other two Synoptics. One example of this is the occurrence of the term “Lord” (\u003Cem>kyrios)\u003C\u002Fem>. Mark uses this term only six times. Matthew uses&nbsp;\u003Cem>kyrios\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;not only in those&nbsp;\u003Cem>same\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;six instances but also an additional twenty-four times. Moreover, Luke uses this title for Jesus even more frequently than does Matthew. Supporters of Markan priority argue that it is easier to understand Matthew and Luke adding this term to their accounts than for Mark to omit it so frequently.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Finally, Mark is the shortest gospel. While Mark contains 661 verses, Luke contains 1,149 and Matthew has 1,068. It is maintained that this can be explained easier by assuming Matthew and Luke chose to add additional information to Mark’s account than to hold that Mark omitted so much material.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Though Markan priority is the most popular theory today, this model does face a number of difficulties. Two such problems stand out as major obstacles that tend to weaken the argument that Mark was the first Gospel written. First, the early church tradition is quite unanimous that Matthew was the primary Gospel (i.e. Clement of Alexandria, Irenaeus, Eusebius, and Augustine). Virtually no early support can be found&nbsp;to favor Mark as the initial Gospel writer. Furthermore, much of the support for Markan priority rests upon the shoulders of the completely conjectured and unsubstantiated sources of Q, L, and M. There is currently no firm, historical evidence to support their existence. These two objections alone are enough for a number of scholars to remain skeptical of the Markan priority theory.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>4. Matthean Priority\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Matthean priority was the dominate position of the church from the first century until the Enlightenment and sees Matthew as the first Synoptic, usually Luke, who utilized Matthew, as the second, and Mark as the third. Mark is viewed as an abbreviated combination or conflation of Matthew and Luke. The preaching of Peter is also seen as a significant influence on Mark’s Gospel, though this is true for most New Testament scholars regardless of how they resolve the Synoptic Problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Though the Matthean priority theory was first proposed by H. Owen in 1764, it received the more popular name, “The Griesbach Hypothesis,” from its main advocate,&nbsp;Johann J. Griesbach (1783). It has since received a considerable revival of interest due to the influence of William R. Farmer’s publication of&nbsp;\u003Cem>The Synoptic Problem\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;in 1976.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Like the Markan priority model, significant support exists for the argument that Matthew was the initial Gospel. First, that Matthew was written first was virtually the unanimous view of the early church. The opinion of most patristics, such as Irenaeus and Origen, was that Matthew initially wrote a Gospel in Hebrew or Aramaic that was later translated into Greek. This was the view of Jerome and Augustine. Further, Clement of Alexandria stated that the first Gospel written was the one containing the genealogies.&nbsp;There is no ancient evidence which concludes that Mark was written before Matthew. Any such theory must overcome the overwhelming witness of the early Christian fathers.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Second, this theory can account for the literary relationship that exists among the Synoptic Gospels without postulating hypothetical documents which have little or no historical support (e.g. a Q source). The phenomenon of agreement among Matthew, Mark, and Luke is explained as follows: Matthew and Luke agreements against Mark occur when Luke follows Matthew and Mark deviates from both sources. Matthew and Mark agreements against Luke occur when Luke deviates from Matthew but Mark does not. Likewise, the agreements seen in Luke and Mark result when Luke departs from his Matthean source, but Mark follows Luke. No hypothetical documents are needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Still, there are reasons why many modern New Testament scholars find the Griesbach Hypothesis problematic. For example, there are certain Gospel agreements which appear to be better explained by the priority of Mark. Most of these examples are found when Matthew and Mark deviate from Luke’s account and with Mark-Luke agreements against Matthew. However, most of these conflicts are resolved when Luke is assumed as the second Gospel written. Further, Mark contains redundancies which can be explained by assuming the Two-Document Hypothesis.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>While many scholars believe the Synoptic Problem has been resolved by the Markan priority hypothesis, this judgment may need to be reevaluated. The fact remains that all of our different theories may put more weight on the historical data than is fairly warranted. The early church position, though not definitive, may deserve a renewed hearing. Nevertheless, while we do not know for sure how the first three Gospels writers possibly interacted with one another or what sources may have influenced their work, we&nbsp;can be confident that the result of their work has given us three inspired, truthful, and authoritative portraits of the Lord Jesus Christ. They write from different perspectives and with different theological emphases, but as a whole they present a complementary portrait of God’s Messiah\u002FKing and the Savior of the World, the Lord Jesus Christ. In this all students of Scripture can confidently rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Article written by Dr. Daniel L.

Los primeros tres Evangelios se designan as&iacute; porque presentan la vida y el ministerio de Jes&uacute;s desde un punto de vista com&uacute;n que es diferente del del Evangelio de Juan, cuyo contenido es 92% &uacute;nico. Adem&aacute;s, el Evangelio de Juan, escrito entre los a&ntilde;os 80 y 95 d. C., generalmente data de m&aacute;s tarde que los Sin&oacute;pticos, y no se percibe f&aacute;cilmente una dependencia literaria extensa. En contraste, los sin&oacute;pticos a menudo usan vocabulario y orden de palabras similares, tienden a seguir el mismo esquema y registran material similar de la vida y las ense&ntilde;anzas de Jes&uacute;s. A veces sus cuentas son casi id&eacute;nticas. Sin embargo, en otros momentos las diferencias importantes son claramente evidentes. Este fen&oacute;meno ha dado lugar, especialmente en la era moderna, a lo que se llama el \"problema sin&oacute;ptico\" o la \"pregunta sin&oacute;ptica\".\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;&iquest;C&oacute;mo, entonces, debemos entender y explicar lo que parece ser una relaci&oacute;n literaria inconfundible entre los primeros tres Evangelios? Han surgido varias teor&iacute;as que intentan explicar estas similitudes. Cuatro se destacan como los m&aacute;s destacados.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>1. Teor&iacute;a primitiva del Evangelio\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;Tambi&eacute;n conocida como la Teor&iacute;a del Evangelio Ur, esta posici&oacute;n fue planteada por primera vez por Gotthold E. Lessing en 1778 y sugiere que los tres Evangelios b&iacute;blicos o can&oacute;nicos extrajeron su material de un evangelio anterior y m&aacute;s primitivo escrito en arameo. Johann G. Eichhorn elabor&oacute; la teor&iacute;a de Lessing en 1794, sugiriendo el a&ntilde;o 35 d. C. como la fecha de origen de este primitivo, aunque ya no existe, evangelio.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;Ha habido ramificaciones infructuosas e insostenibles de este modelo. Eichorn elimin&oacute; la autoridad de los testigos oculares para los evangelios sin&oacute;pticos existentes, alegando que el evangelio \"primitivo\" fue escrito por un alumno de uno de los ap&oacute;stoles. Este trabajo se utiliz&oacute; como base para otros relatos de evangelios antes de la redacci&oacute;n de los Evangelios existentes tal como los conocemos hoy. Mateo, Marcos y Lucas luego usaron estos evangelios como fuentes para sus respectivas obras, explicando as&iacute; las similitudes observadas dentro de los Sin&oacute;pticos.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Que un evangelio temprano existi&oacute; es ciertamente posible. Sin embargo, tal teor&iacute;a tiene poco o ning&uacute;n respaldo hist&oacute;rico y, adem&aacute;s, comienza y concluye con una especulaci&oacute;n extensa. La idea originalmente postulada por Lessing ten&iacute;a en s&iacute; misma una falla principal: si Mateo, Marcos y Lucas extrajeron de la misma fuente (el Evangelio Ur), &iquest;por qu&eacute; sus Evangelios difieren como lo hacen? La teor&iacute;a de Lessing es, por lo tanto, insatisfactoria.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>La noci&oacute;n de Eichhorn de m&uacute;ltiples evangelios que suceden al evangelio Ur tambi&eacute;n crea problemas adicionales. Si bien parece resolver el defecto anterior, la afirmaci&oacute;n de Eichhorn de que los escritores evang&eacute;licos existentes son simplemente traducciones de relatos de terceros inexistentes socava la autoridad hist&oacute;ricamente otorgada a los autores de los Sin&oacute;pticos. Est&aacute;n relegados a meros escribas sin ninguna credibilidad de testigos oculares. Tal ramificaci&oacute;n lleva a conclusiones l&oacute;gicas adicionales que a) comprometen la integridad de los Evangelios yb) son inadecuadas para dar cuenta de los datos hist&oacute;ricos.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>2. Teor&iacute;a de la tradici&oacute;n oral\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>J. G. von Herder (1744-1803) postul&oacute; la teor&iacute;a de que un \"evangelio oral\" o tradici&oacute;n de material estaba detr&aacute;s de los Evangelios Sin&oacute;pticos: que el material del Evangelio fue transmitido de boca en boca antes de ser escrito. Este evangelio oral se habr&iacute;a originado con los disc&iacute;pulos, habr&iacute;a pasado por toda Palestina entre el 35 y el 40 d. C. antes de extenderse hacia afuera, y probablemente se us&oacute; para ayudar a los primeros predicadores y evangelistas. Finalmente, varias d&eacute;cadas despu&eacute;s de su creaci&oacute;n, surgi&oacute; la necesidad de un evangelio escrito permanente. Esto llev&oacute; a la redacci&oacute;n de los Evangelios sin&oacute;pticos.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;La necesidad de un evangelio concreto era doble: primero, los disc&iacute;pulos estaban envejeciendo y era necesario asegurar un relato exacto y presencial de las ense&ntilde;anzas de Jes&uacute;s. Segundo, se necesitaba un conjunto unificado y definitivo de ense&ntilde;anzas para combatir la herej&iacute;a de la iglesia primitiva y servir como la base fundamental de la doctrina cristiana. El resultado fue que la tradici&oacute;n oral finalmente se transcribi&oacute; en forma escrita y posteriormente se public&oacute;. El nuevo material escrito fue utilizado por Mateo, Marcos y Lucas en la escritura de sus Evangelios, explicando as&iacute;, seg&uacute;n Herder y otros tradicionalistas orales, las similitudes entre ellos.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Que una forma temprana de transmisi&oacute;n oral de las ense&ntilde;anzas de Jes&uacute;s existi&oacute; no se debate. Ciertamente hay algo de verdad en esta teor&iacute;a. Sin embargo, en s&iacute; misma, esta teor&iacute;a es insuficiente para explicar (a) la existencia testificada de relatos escritos tempranos (ver Lucas 1: 1-3), (b) el diferente orden de eventos descubiertos en los Sin&oacute;pticos, y (c ) las variaciones en forma, contenido, vocabulario, gram&aacute;tica y orden de palabras que est&aacute;n presentes en los Evangelios sin&oacute;pticos. Por lo tanto, aunque no se quiere minimizar la influencia de una tradici&oacute;n oral com&uacute;n sobre los escritores de los Sin&oacute;pticos, el fen&oacute;meno de los Evangelios Sin&oacute;pticos parece requerir m&aacute;s que una tradici&oacute;n oral com&uacute;n.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;3. Prioridad de Markan\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;La teor&iacute;a de la prioridad de Markan no fue defendida hasta el siglo XIX. Sin embargo, debido en gran medida al aumento de la cr&iacute;tica hist&oacute;rica (especialmente los trabajos de H. J. Holtzmann en 1863 y B. H. Streeter en 1924), se ha convertido sin lugar a dudas en la hip&oacute;tesis m&aacute;s popular entre los estudiosos contempor&aacute;neos del Nuevo Testamento. Este modelo comenz&oacute; inicialmente como una teor&iacute;a de dos fuentes, aunque ahora generalmente se expande en una teor&iacute;a de cuatro fuentes.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Aqu&iacute; Marcos es visto como el primer Evangelio escrito y es la base de Mateo y Lucas, quienes incorporaron gran parte de Marcos. Matthew y Luke tambi&eacute;n utilizaron otra fuente (generalmente se supone que fue escrita) com&uacute;nmente llamada Q, de la palabra alemana Quelle, que significa fuente. Se dice que esta segunda fuente representa alrededor de 250 vers&iacute;culos del material de ense&ntilde;anza de Jes&uacute;s, que es com&uacute;n a Mateo y Lucas, pero no a Marcos. Al expandir la teor&iacute;a de las dos fuentes, se cree que una supuesta fuente M explica el material exclusivo de Mateo, y una fuente L se presenta hipot&eacute;ticamente para dar cuenta del material peculiar de Lucas, lo que explica el material adicional en sus respectivos Evangelios.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>El caso de Markan Priority proviene principalmente de la gran cantidad de material que se ve tanto en Mateo como en Lucas, que se repite en el Evangelio de Marcos. Sin embargo, hay otras razones por las cuales la prioridad de Markan se afirma com&uacute;nmente. Primero, muchos estudiosos insisten en que Mark contiene lecturas m&aacute;s dif&iacute;ciles que Mateo y Lucas, ya que se dice que el contenido teol&oacute;gico de Mark es m&aacute;s dif&iacute;cil. En lugar de que Mark tome los pasajes menos complejos de Matthew y Mark y los haga m&aacute;s dif&iacute;ciles, muchos estudiosos ahora sugieren que Matthew y \u002F o Luke editaron a Mark para facilitar las lecturas.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Segundo, se dice que Mark tiene el griego m&aacute;s pobre. Marcos contiene frecuentes despidos, que se especula que han sido eliminados en los Evangelios escritos por Mateo y Lucas. Similar a lo anterior, es m&aacute;s f&aacute;cil imaginar que Mateo y Lucas mejoren sobre el griego de Marcos que pensar que Marcos us&oacute; a Mateo y \u002F o Lucas e hizo que el griego fuera m&aacute;s dif&iacute;cil y engorroso.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;Tercero, la teolog&iacute;a de Mark est&aacute; menos desarrollada que las otras dos sin&oacute;pticas. Un ejemplo de esto es la aparici&oacute;n del t&eacute;rmino \"Se&ntilde;or\" (kyrios). Mark usa este t&eacute;rmino solo seis veces. Matthew usa kyrios no solo en esas mismas seis instancias sino tambi&eacute;n veinticuatro veces m&aacute;s. Adem&aacute;s, Lucas usa este t&iacute;tulo para Jes&uacute;s a&uacute;n m&aacute;s frecuentemente que Mateo. Los partidarios de la prioridad de Markan argumentan que es m&aacute;s f&aacute;cil entender que Matthew y Luke agreguen este t&eacute;rmino a sus cuentas que Mark lo omita con tanta frecuencia.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;Finalmente, Marcos es el evangelio m&aacute;s corto. Mientras que Marcos contiene 661 versos, Lucas contiene 1.149 y Mateo tiene 1.068. Se sostiene que esto puede explicarse m&aacute;s f&aacute;cilmente suponiendo que Matthew y Luke eligieron agregar informaci&oacute;n adicional a la cuenta de Mark en lugar de sostener que Mark omiti&oacute; tanto material.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;Aunque la prioridad de Markan es la teor&iacute;a m&aacute;s popular hoy en d&iacute;a, este modelo enfrenta varias dificultades. Dos de estos problemas se destacan como obst&aacute;culos importantes que tienden a debilitar el argumento de que Marcos fue el primer Evangelio escrito. Primero, la tradici&oacute;n de la iglesia primitiva es bastante un&aacute;nime de que Mateo fue el Evangelio principal (es decir, Clemente de Alejandr&iacute;a, Ireneo, Eusebio y Agust&iacute;n). Pr&aacute;cticamente no se puede encontrar apoyo temprano para favorecer a Mark como el escritor inicial del Evangelio. Adem&aacute;s, gran parte del apoyo a la prioridad de Markan descansa sobre los hombros de las fuentes de Q, L y M. completamente conjeturadas y sin fundamento. Actualmente no existe evidencia hist&oacute;rica firme que respalde su existencia. Estas dos objeciones por s&iacute; solas son suficientes para que varios acad&eacute;micos se mantengan esc&eacute;pticos sobre la teor&iacute;a de prioridad de Markan.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>4. Prioridad Matthean\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;La prioridad de Matthean era la posici&oacute;n dominante de la iglesia desde el primer siglo hasta la Ilustraci&oacute;n y ve a Matthew como el primer sin&oacute;ptico, generalmente Luke, que utiliz&oacute; a Matthew, como el segundo, y Mark como el tercero. Mark es visto como una combinaci&oacute;n o combinaci&oacute;n abreviada de Mateo y Lucas. La predicaci&oacute;n de Pedro tambi&eacute;n se ve como una influencia significativa en el Evangelio de Marcos, aunque esto es cierto para la mayor&iacute;a de los estudiosos del Nuevo Testamento, independientemente de c&oacute;mo resuelvan el problema sin&oacute;ptico.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;Aunque la teor&iacute;a de prioridad de Matthean fue propuesta por primera vez por H. Owen en 1764, recibi&oacute; el nombre m&aacute;s popular, \"La hip&oacute;tesis de Griesbach\", de su principal defensor, Johann J. Griesbach (1783). Desde entonces, ha recibido un considerable renacimiento de inter&eacute;s debido a la influencia de la publicaci&oacute;n de William R. Farmer de El problema sin&oacute;ptico en 1976.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;Al igual que el modelo de prioridad de Markan, existe un apoyo significativo para el argumento de que Mateo fue el Evangelio inicial. Primero, que Mateo fue escrito primero fue virtualmente la visi&oacute;n un&aacute;nime de la iglesia primitiva. La opini&oacute;n de la mayor&iacute;a de los patr&iacute;sticos, como Ireneo y Or&iacute;genes, fue que Mateo inicialmente escribi&oacute; un Evangelio en hebreo o arameo que luego se tradujo al griego. Esta era la opini&oacute;n de Jerome y Agust&iacute;n. Adem&aacute;s, Clemente de Alejandr&iacute;a declar&oacute; que el primer Evangelio escrito fue el que conten&iacute;a las genealog&iacute;as. No hay evidencia antigua que concluya que Marcos fue escrito antes que Mateo. Cualquier teor&iacute;a de este tipo debe superar el testimonio abrumador de los primeros padres cristianos.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>En segundo lugar, esta teor&iacute;a puede explicar la relaci&oacute;n literaria que existe entre los Evangelios sin&oacute;pticos sin postular documentos hipot&eacute;ticos que tienen poco o ning&uacute;n respaldo hist&oacute;rico (por ejemplo, una fuente Q). El fen&oacute;meno del acuerdo entre Matthew, Mark y Luke se explica de la siguiente manera: los acuerdos de Matthew y Luke contra Mark ocurren cuando Luke sigue a Matthew y Mark se desv&iacute;a de ambas fuentes.

Cela est particulièrement vrai lorsque l’attention se concentre sur les Évangiles de Matthieu, Marc et Luc — communément désignés comme les « Évangiles synoptiques ».\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le terme&nbsp;\u003Cem>Synoptique\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;signifie&nbsp;\u003Cem>voir ensemble\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;ou&nbsp;\u003Cem>voir d’un point de vue commun\u003C\u002Fem>. Les trois premiers Évangiles sont ainsi désignés parce qu’ils présentent la vie et le ministère de Jésus d’un point de vue commun différent de celui de l’Évangile de Jean, dont le contenu est unique à 92 %. De plus, l’Évangile de Jean, écrit entre 80 et 95 apr. J.-C., est généralement daté plus tard que les Synoptiques, et aucune dépendance littéraire importante n’est facilement discernable. En revanche, les Synoptiques utilisent souvent un vocabulaire et un ordre des mots similaires, ont tendance à suivre le même plan et enregistrent des éléments similaires de la vie et des enseignements de Jésus. Parfois, leurs récits sont presque identiques. Cependant, à d’autres moments, des différences importantes sont clairement évidentes. Ce phénomène a donné naissance, surtout à l’époque moderne, à ce que l’on appelle le « Problème synoptique » ou « Question synoptique ».\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Comment alors comprendre et expliquer ce qui semble être une relation littéraire indéniable entre les trois premiers Évangiles ? Plusieurs théories ont émergé pour tenter d’expliquer ces similitudes. Quatre d’entre elles se distinguent comme les plus importantes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>1. Théorie de l’Évangile primitif\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Aussi connue sous le nom de théorie de l’Ur-évangile, cette position a été avancée pour la première fois par Gotthold E. Lessing en 1778 et suggère que les trois Évangiles bibliques ou canoniques ont puisé leur matière dans un évangile antérieur, plus primitif, écrit en araméen. Johann G. Eichhorn a développé la théorie de Lessing en 1794, suggérant l’année 35 apr. J.-C. comme date d’origine de cet évangile primitif — bien que non conservé.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cette théorie a eu des conséquences infructueuses et insoutenables. Eichhorn a supprimé l’autorité des témoins oculaires pour les Évangiles synoptiques existants, affirmant que l’évangile « primitif » avait été écrit par un disciple de l’un des apôtres. Cette œuvre a servi de base à d’autres récits évangéliques avant la rédaction des Évangiles conservés tels que nous les connaissons aujourd’hui. Matthieu, Marc et Luc ont ensuite utilisé ces évangiles comme sources pour leurs ouvrages respectifs, expliquant ainsi les similitudes observées dans les Synoptiques.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qu’un évangile ancien ait existé est certainement possible. Cependant, une telle théorie ne bénéficie que de peu, voire d’aucun soutien historique et, de plus, elle commence et se termine par une spéculation extensive. L’idée initialement postulée par Lessing comportait en elle-même un défaut majeur : si Matthieu, Marc et Luc ont puisé dans la même source (l’Ur-évangile), pourquoi alors leurs Évangiles diffèrent-ils comme ils le font ? La théorie de Lessing est donc insatisfaisante.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La notion d’Eichhorn de plusieurs évangiles succédant à l’Ur-évangile crée également des problèmes supplémentaires. Bien qu’elle semble résoudre le défaut ci-dessus, l’affirmation d’Eichhorn selon laquelle les rédacteurs des Évangiles conservés ne sont que des traductions de récits de troisième main inexistants mine l’autorité historiquement accordée aux auteurs des Synoptiques. Ils sont relégués au rang de simples scribes dépourvus de toute crédibilité de témoins oculaires. Une telle conséquence conduit à d’autres conclusions logiques qui a) compromettent l’intégrité des Évangiles et b) sont insuffisantes pour rendre compte des données historiques.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>2. Théorie de la tradition orale\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>J. G. von Herder (1744-1803) a avancé la théorie selon laquelle un « évangile oral » ou une tradition de matériel se trouvait derrière les Évangiles synoptiques — que le matériel évangélique a été transmis oralement avant d’être mis par écrit. Cet évangile oral aurait pris naissance chez les disciples, transmis à travers la Palestine entre 35 et\u003Cstrong>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fstrong>40 apr. J.-C. avant de se répandre au-delà, et aurait très probablement servi à assister les premiers prédicateurs et évangélistes. Enfin, plusieurs décennies après son apparition, le besoin d’un évangile permanent et écrit s’est fait sentir. Cela a conduit à la rédaction des Évangiles synoptiques.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La nécessité d’un évangile concret était double : d’abord, les disciples vieillissaient et il fallait assurer un récit exact et oculaire des enseignements de Jésus. Ensuite, un ensemble unifié et définitif d’enseignements était nécessaire pour combattre l’hérésie de l’Église primitive et servir de base fondamentale à la doctrine chrétienne. Il en résulta que la tradition orale fut finalement transcrite sous forme écrite et ensuite publiée. Ce nouveau matériel écrit fut alors utilisé par Matthieu, Marc et Luc dans la rédaction de leurs Évangiles, expliquant ainsi, selon Herder et d’autres tenants de la tradition orale, les similitudes entre eux.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qu’une forme ancienne, transmise oralement, des enseignements de Jésus ait existé n’est pas contesté. Il y a certainement une part de vérité dans cette théorie. Cependant, en elle-même, cette théorie est insuffisante pour rendre compte (a) de l’existence attestée de récits écrits anciens (voir Luc 1:1-3), (b) de l’ordre différent des événements observé dans les Synoptiques, et (c) des variations de forme, de contenu, de vocabulaire, de grammaire et d’ordre des mots présentes dans les Évangiles synoptiques. Ainsi, tout en ne voulant pas minimiser l’influence d’une tradition orale commune sur les rédacteurs des Synoptiques, le phénomène des Évangiles synoptiques semble exiger plus qu’une tradition orale commune.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>3. Priorité marcienne\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La théorie de la priorité marcienne n’a été défendue qu’au XIXe siècle. Cependant, en grande partie en raison de l’essor de la critique historique (notamment les travaux de H. J. Holtzmann en 1863 et de B. H. Streeter en 1924), elle est devenue sans aucun doute l’hypothèse la plus populaire parmi les spécialistes contemporains du Nouveau Testament. Ce modèle a initialement commencé comme une théorie à deux sources, bien qu’il soit maintenant généralement étendu à une théorie à quatre sources.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>Ici, Marc est considéré comme le premier Évangile écrit et constitue la base de Matthieu et de Luc, qui ont tous deux incorporé une grande partie de Marc. Matthieu et Luc ont également utilisé une autre source (généralement considérée comme écrite), communément appelée Q, du mot allemand&nbsp;\u003Cem>Quelle\u003C\u002Fem>, signifiant&nbsp;\u003Cem>source\u003C\u002Fem>. Cette deuxième source est censée représenter environ 250 versets de matériel d’enseignement de Jésus, principalement commun à Matthieu et à Luc, mais absent de Marc. En élargissant la théorie des deux sources, une source M supposée est censée rendre compte du matériel propre à Matthieu, et une source L est hypothétiquement proposée pour expliquer le matériel particulier à Luc, expliquant ainsi le matériel supplémentaire dans leurs Évangiles respectifs.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le cas de la priorité marcienne repose principalement sur la grande quantité de matériel présent à la fois chez Matthieu et chez Luc, qui est répété ensemble dans l’Évangile de Marc. Cependant, d’autres raisons expliquent pourquoi la priorité marcienne est couramment affirmée. Premièrement, de nombreux chercheurs soutiennent que Marc contient des lectures plus difficiles que Matthieu et Luc, car le contenu théologique de Marc est considéré comme plus difficile. Plutôt que de voir Marc prendre les passages moins complexes de Matthieu et de Luc pour les rendre plus difficiles, de nombreux chercheurs suggèrent maintenant que Matthieu et\u002Fou Luc ont édité Marc pour rendre les lectures plus faciles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Deuxièmement, Marc est dit avoir un grec plus pauvre. Marc contient des redondances fréquentes, qui auraient été éliminées, selon les hypothèses, dans les Évangiles écrits par Matthieu et Luc. De même que ci-dessus, il est plus facile d’imaginer Matthieu et Luc améliorant le grec de Marc que de penser que Marc a utilisé Matthieu et\u002Fou Luc et a rendu le grec plus difficile et plus lourd.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Troisièmement, la théologie de Marc est moins développée que celle des deux autres Synoptiques. Un exemple en est l’occurrence du terme «&nbsp;Seigneur&nbsp;» (\u003Cem>kyrios\u003C\u002Fem>). Marc n’utilise ce terme que six fois. Matthieu utilise&nbsp;\u003Cem>kyrios\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;non seulement dans ces&nbsp;\u003Cem>mêmes\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;six occurrences, mais aussi vingt-quatre fois supplémentaires. De plus, Luc utilise ce titre pour Jésus encore plus fréquemment que Matthieu. Les partisans de la priorité marcienne soutiennent qu’il est plus facile de comprendre que Matthieu et Luc aient ajouté ce terme à leurs récits que de penser que Marc l’ait omis si souvent.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Enfin, Marc est l’Évangile le plus court. Alors que Marc contient 661 versets, Luc en contient 1&nbsp;149 et Matthieu 1&nbsp;068. On soutient que cela s’explique plus facilement en supposant que Matthieu et Luc ont choisi d’ajouter des informations supplémentaires au récit de Marc plutôt que de supposer que Marc ait omis tant de matériel.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Bien que la priorité marcienne soit la théorie la plus populaire aujourd’hui, ce modèle rencontre un certain nombre de difficultés. Deux problèmes se distinguent comme des obstacles majeurs qui tendent à affaiblir l’argument selon lequel Marc serait le premier Évangile écrit. Premièrement, la tradition de l’Église primitive est tout à fait unanime pour affirmer que Matthieu était l’Évangile principal (c’est-à-dire Clément d’Alexandrie, Irénée, Eusèbe et Augustin). On ne trouve pratiquement aucun soutien ancien en faveur de Marc comme premier auteur d’Évangile. De plus, une grande partie du soutien à la priorité marcienne repose sur les sources entièrement conjecturées et non étayées de Q, L et M. Il n’existe actuellement aucune preuve historique solide pour soutenir leur existence. Ces deux objections suffisent à elles seules à rendre un certain nombre de chercheurs sceptiques à l’égard de la théorie de la priorité marcienne.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>4. Priorité matthéenne\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La priorité matthéenne a été la position dominante de l’Église du premier siècle jusqu’aux Lumières et considère Matthieu comme le premier Synoptique, généralement Luc, qui a utilisé Matthieu, comme le deuxième, et Marc comme le troisième. Marc est considéré comme une combinaison abrégée ou une conflation de Matthieu et de Luc. La prédication de Pierre est également considérée comme une influence significative sur l’Évangile de Marc, bien que cela soit vrai pour la plupart des chercheurs du Nouveau Testament, quelle que soit la manière dont ils résolvent le problème synoptique.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Bien que la théorie de la priorité matthéenne ait été proposée pour la première fois par H. Owen en 1764, elle a reçu le nom plus populaire de «&nbsp;Hypothèse de Griesbach&nbsp;», du nom de son principal défenseur,&nbsp;Johann J. Griesbach (1783). Elle a depuis connu un regain d’intérêt considérable grâce à l’influence de la publication de William R. Farmer,&nbsp;\u003Cem>The Synoptic Problem\u003C\u002Fem>, en 1976.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Comme le modèle de la priorité marcienne, des arguments significatifs existent en faveur de l’idée que Matthieu était l’Évangile initial. Premièrement, le fait que Matthieu ait été écrit en premier était pratiquement l’opinion unanime de l’Église primitive. L’opinion de la plupart des Pères de l’Église, tels qu’Irénée et Origène, était que Matthieu avait initialement écrit un Évangile en hébreu ou en araméen qui fut plus tard traduit en grec. C’était l’avis de Jérôme et d’Augustin. De plus, Clément d’Alexandrie a déclaré que le premier Évangile écrit était celui contenant les généalogies.&nbsp;Il n’existe aucune preuve ancienne qui conclue que Marc ait été écrit avant Matthieu. Toute théorie de ce type doit surmonter le témoignage écrasant des Pères chrétiens anciens.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Deuxièmement, cette théorie peut rendre compte de la relation littéraire qui existe entre les Évangiles synoptiques sans postuler des documents hypothétiques qui ont peu ou pas de soutien historique (par exemple, une source Q). Le phénomène d’accord entre Matthieu, Marc et Luc est expliqué comme suit&nbsp;: les accords de Matthieu et de Luc contre Marc se produisent lorsque Luc suit Matthieu et que Marc s’écarte des deux sources. Les accords de Matthieu et de Marc contre Luc se produisent lorsque Luc s’écarte de Matthieu mais que Marc ne le fait pas. De même, les accords observés chez Luc et Marc résultent lorsque Luc s’écarte de sa source matthéenne, mais que Marc suit Luc. Aucun document hypothétique n’est nécessaire.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>Cependant, il existe des raisons pour lesquelles de nombreux spécialistes modernes du Nouveau Testament considèrent l’hypothèse de Griesbach comme problématique. Par exemple, certains accords entre les Évangiles semblent mieux expliqués par la priorité de Marc. La plupart de ces exemples se trouvent lorsque Matthieu et Marc s’écartent du récit de Luc, ainsi que dans les accords Marc-Luc contre Matthieu. Cependant, la plupart de ces conflits sont résolus lorsque Luc est considéré comme le deuxième Évangile écrit. De plus, Marc contient des redondances qui peuvent s’expliquer en supposant l’hypothèse des deux sources.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Bien que de nombreux chercheurs pensent que le problème synoptique a été résolu par l’hypothèse de la priorité marcienne, ce jugement pourrait nécessiter une réévaluation. Le fait demeure que toutes nos différentes théories peuvent accorder plus de poids aux données historiques qu’il n’est raisonnablement justifié. La position de l’Église primitive, bien que non définitive, mérite peut-être une nouvelle audition. Néanmoins, même si nous ne savons pas avec certitude comment les trois premiers évangélistes ont pu interagir entre eux ni quelles sources ont pu influencer leur travail, nous pouvons être certains que le résultat de leur travail nous a donné trois portraits inspirés, véridiques et autoritatifs du Seigneur Jésus-Christ. Ils écrivent selon des perspectives différentes et avec des emphases théologiques différentes, mais dans leur ensemble, ils présentent un portrait complémentaire du Messie\u002FRoi de Dieu et du Sauveur du monde, le Seigneur Jésus-Christ. C’est en cela que tous les étudiants des Écritures peuvent reposer avec confiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Article écrit par le Dr Daniel L.

H. 스트리터의 저작들)에 크게 힘입어, 현대 신약학자들 사이에서 의심의 여지 없이 가장 인기 있는 가설이 되었다. 이 모델은 처음에는 두 자료 이론으로 시작되었으나, 지금은 보통 네 자료 이론으로 확장된다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>여기서 마가는 최초로 기록된 복음서로 간주되며, 마태복음과 누가복음의 기초가 된다. 마태복음과 누가복음은 마가복음의 많은 부분을 통합했다. 마태복음과 누가복음은 또한 독일어 \u003Cem>Quelle\u003C\u002Fem>(의미: \u003Cem>출처\u003C\u002Fem>)에서 유래한 Q라고 일반적으로 불리는 또 다른 자료(보통 기록된 것으로 추정됨)를 사용했다. 이 두 번째 자료는 마가복음에는 없지만 마태복음과 누가복음에 공통으로 나타나는, 주로 예수의 가르침과 관련된 약 250절을 설명한다고 한다. 이중 자료 이론을 확장하여, 가상의 M-자료는 마태복음에만 고유한 자료를 설명하는 것으로 여겨지며, L-자료는 누가복음에만 특이한 자료를 설명하기 위해 가설적으로 제시되어, 각 복음서의 추가 자료를 설명한다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>마가 우선설의 근거는 주로 마태복음과 누가복음 모두에서 발견되는 방대한 양의 자료가 마가복음에서 함께 반복된다는 점에서 비롯된다. 그러나 마가 우선설이 일반적으로 받아들여지는 다른 이유들도 있다. 첫째, 많은 학자들은 마가가 마태복음과 누가복음보다 더 어려운 읽기를 포함하고 있다고 주장하며, 마가의 신학적 내용이 더 어렵다고 말한다. 마가가 마태복음과 누가복음의 덜 복잡한 구절들을 가져와 더 어렵게 만들었다기보다는, 많은 학자들은 이제 마태복음과\u002F또는 누가복음이 마가를 편집하여 읽기를 더 쉽게 만들었다고 제안한다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>둘째, 마가는 그리스어 표현이 더 빈약하다고 한다. 마가는 빈번한 중복 표현을 포함하는데, 이는 마태복음과 누가복음에서 제거된 것으로 추측된다. 위와 유사하게, 마태복음과 누가복음이 마가의 그리스어를 개선했다고 보는 것이, 마가가 마태복음과\u002F또는 누가복음을 사용하면서 그리스어를 더 어렵고 번거롭게 만들었다고 생각하는 것보다 더 쉽다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>셋째, 마가의 신학은 다른 두 공관복음서보다 덜 발전되어 있다. 이에 대한 한 예는 “주”(\u003Cem>kyrios\u003C\u002Fem>)라는 용어의 사용이다. 마가는 이 용어를 단 6회만 사용한다. 마태복음은 이 \u003Cem>같은\u003C\u002Fem> 6회뿐만 아니라 추가로 24회 더 사용한다. 또한 누가복음은 마태복음보다 이 칭호를 예수에게 더 자주 사용한다. 마가 우선설 지지자들은 마태복음과 누가복음이 이 용어를 그들의 기록에 추가했다고 이해하는 것이, 마가가 이를 그렇게 자주 생략했다고 보는 것보다 더 쉽다고 주장한다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>마지막으로, 마가는 가장 짧은 복음서이다. 마가는 661절을 포함하는 반면, 누가복음은 1,149절, 마태복음은 1,068절을 포함한다. 이는 마태복음과 누가복음이 마가의 기록에 추가 정보를 더했다고 가정하는 것이, 마가가 그렇게 많은 자료를 생략했다고 보는 것보다 더 쉽게 설명될 수 있다고 주장된다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>마가 우선설은 오늘날 가장 인기 있는 이론이지만, 이 모델은 여러 가지 어려움에 직면해 있다. 두 가지 문제는 마가가 최초로 기록된 복음서라는 주장을 약화시키는 주요 장애물로 두드러진다. 첫째, 초대 교회의 전통은 마태복음이 주요 복음서였다는 점에서 상당히 일치한다(예: 알렉산드리아의 클레멘트, 이레나이오스, 유세비우스, 아우구스티누스). 마가를 최초의 복음서 저자로 지지하는 초기의 지지는 거의 찾아볼 수 없다. 더욱이, 마가 우선설에 대한 많은 지지는 Q, L, M과 같은 완전히 추측되고 입증되지 않은 자료들에 의존하고 있다. 현재 이들의 존재를 뒷받침하는 확고한 역사적 증거는 없다. 이 두 가지 반론만으로도 많은 학자들이 마가 우선설에 대해 회의적인 입장을 유지하기에 충분하다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>4. 마태 우선설\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>마태 우선설은 1세기부터 계몽주의 시대까지 교회의 지배적인 입장이었으며, 마태복음을 첫 번째 공관복음서로 보고, 보통 마태복음을 사용한 누가복음을 두 번째로, 마가복음을 세 번째로 본다. 마가복음은 마태복음과 누가복음의 축약된 결합 또는 혼합으로 간주된다. 베드로의 설교 또한 마가복음에 중요한 영향을 미친 것으로 보이지만, 이는 공관복음 문제를 어떻게 해결하든 대부분의 신약 학자들에게 사실로 받아들여진다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>마태 우선설은 1764년 H. 오언에 의해 처음 제안되었지만, 주요 옹호자인 요한 J. 그리스바흐(1783)로부터 더 널리 알려진 이름인 “그리스바흐 가설”을 얻었다. 이후 1976년 윌리엄 R. 파머의 \u003Cem>The Synoptic Problem\u003C\u002Fem> 출판으로 인해 상당한 관심의 부활을 맞이했다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>마가 우선설 모델과 마찬가지로, 마태복음이 최초의 복음서였다는 주장에 대한 상당한 지지가 존재한다. 첫째, 마태복음이 처음 기록되었다는 것은 초대 교회의 거의 만장일치의 견해였다. 이레나이오스와 오리게네스와 같은 대부분의 교부들의 의견은 마태가 처음에 히브리어나 아람어로 복음서를 썼고, 나중에 그리스어로 번역되었다는 것이었다. 이는 제롬과 아우구스티누스의 견해였다. 또한 알렉산드리아의 클레멘트는 족보를 포함하는 복음서가 최초로 기록된 복음서라고 진술했다. 마가가 마태복음보다 먼저 기록되었다는 고대 증거는 없다. 그러한 이론은 초대 기독교 교부들의 압도적인 증언을 극복해야만 한다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>둘째, 이 이론은 역사적 지지가 거의 없거나 전혀 없는 가상의 문서(예: Q 자료)를 가정하지 않고도 공관복음서들 사이에 존재하는 문학적 관계를 설명할 수 있다. 마태복음, 마가복음, 누가복음 사이의 일치 현상은 다음과 같이 설명된다: 마가복음에 반대하는 마태복음과 누가복음의 일치는 누가가 마태복음을 따르고 마가가 두 자료에서 벗어날 때 발생한다. 누가복음에 반대하는 마태복음과 마가복음의 일치는 누가가 마태복음에서 벗어나지만 마가는 그렇지 않을 때 발생한다. 마찬가지로, 누가복음과 마가복음에서 보이는 일치는 누가가 그의 마태 자료에서 벗어나지만 마가가 누가를 따를 때 발생한다. 가상의 문서는 필요하지 않다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>그러나 많은 현대 신약학자들이 그리스바흐 가설을 문제 삼는 이유들이 있다. 예를 들어, 마태와 마가가 누가의 기록과 다르게 나타나는 특정 복음서 일치들은 마가 우선설로 더 잘 설명되는 것처럼 보인다. 이러한 예들은 대부분 마태와 마가가 누가의 기록과 다를 때, 그리고 마가-누가의 일치가 마태와 다를 때 발견된다. 그러나 이러한 충돌의 대부분은 누가를 두 번째로 기록된 복음서로 가정할 때 해결된다. 또한 마가는 두 문서 가설을 가정함으로써 설명될 수 있는 중복을 포함하고 있다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>많은 학자들이 공관복음 문제는 마가 우선설 가설로 해결되었다고 믿지만, 이 판단은 재평가될 필요가 있을 수 있다. 사실 우리의 모든 이론들은 역사적 데이터에 정당하게 보장되는 것보다 더 많은 비중을 두고 있을 수 있다. 초대교회의 입장은 결정적이지는 않지만, 새로운 청취를 받을 자격이 있을 수 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 우리는 첫 세 복음서 저자들이 서로 어떻게 상호작용했는지 또는 어떤 자료들이 그들의 작업에 영향을 미쳤는지 확실히 알 수는 없지만, 그들의 작업의 결과가 우리에게 주 예수 그리스도의 영감받은, 진실하며 권위 있는 세 가지 초상화를 주었다는 것은 확신할 수 있다. 그들은 다른 관점과 다른 신학적 강조점으로 글을 썼지만, 전체적으로 하나님의 메시아\u002F왕이자 세상의 구주이신 주 예수 그리스도의 보완적인 초상화를 제시한다. 이 점에서 성경을 연구하는 모든 학생들은 확신을 가지고 안식할 수

the New Testament authors regard their own writings as Scripture?","\u003Cp>The authors of the New Testament did regard their writings as divinely authoritative. Many people think that the authors did not actually intend to write Scripture. They believe the authors were simply writing letters or stories, which were later treated as divinely inspired by the early Christian church. However, it is clear that the New Testament authors believed in the divine authority of their words. We can see this by looking at what they said about their writings and teachings. Though we are not able to look at all 27 books of the New Testament here, we will look at the claims made by some of the most important authors.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>First, the authors of the New Testament viewed each other’s writings as Scripture. This suggests that they believed that divine authority had been given to them by Jesus. Paul writes in 1 Timothy 5:18, “For the Scripture says, ‘You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain,’ and,‘The laborer deserves his wages.’” &nbsp;The second quote is not found anywhere in the Old Testament, and the Greek phrase that Paul uses matches exactly the phrase in Luke 10:7. So, Paul considered Luke’s Gospel to be Scripture, on equal level with the Old Testament, since he quotes them both in the same line.\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Peter considered Paul’s letters to be Scripture. He writes, “And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures” (2 Peter 3:15­16). Peter clearly states in this passage that Paul’s letters are counted among the rest of the Scriptures. This is significant since earlier in the letter, Peter wrote that the readers should remember “the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles” (2 Peter 3:2). Peter is saying that the Lord gives commands through the apostles. Since Peter is an apostle, he is implying that the Lord gives commands through him.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>Peter and Paul considered other writings in the New Testament to be Scripture, so this suggests that they believed in the divine authority of their own words. Now let’s look at how some of the most prominent authors of the New Testament viewed the authority of their own writings.\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 14:37­38, “If anyone thinks that he is a prophet, or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I am writing to you are a command of the Lord. If anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.” In this passage, Paul directly addresses his own writings and calls them a command of the Lord. This is nearly a direct claim to divine inspiration. This idea of a command of the Lord is found throughout the Old Testament as a claim to direct revelation from God. For example, God gave commandments to the people of Israel through Moses (e.g. Exodus 35:4; Numbers 10:13; etc.), who spoke to the Lord “face to face, as a man speaks to his friend” (Exodus 33:11). Furthermore, Paul even declares that if anyone does not acknowledge that his words are a command of the Lord, “he is not recognized.” This shows Paul’s confidence in the authority of his words. It is also similar to the warnings\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>that God gave to the Israelites if they failed to acknowledge and follow his commandments through\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Moses (e.g. Deuteronomy 11:26­28).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Paul claims divine authority for his words in other letters as well. 1 Thessalonians 2:13 says, “And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.” Here Paul explicitly refers to the words that he and the apostles were preaching as the “word of God”. Paul appears to be claiming the same inspiration as the prophets of the Old Testament, who would begin with “thus says the Lord” or “the word of the Lord”.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>The writer of the book of Revelation, John, makes an express claim to divine inspiration. At the beginning of the book, John writes that what follows is a revelation that he received from God through an angel. He then writes, “Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and keep what is written in it, for the time is near” (Revelation 1:3). John commands the reading of this book out loud and the keeping of what is written in it. By doing this he equates his writing to the law of the Old Testament. God commanded the Israelites to read the law in the hearing of all the people, so that they could keep what was written in it (Deuteronomy 31:11­13).\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>1 John gives us another clear assertion of divine inspiration. The author of this letter writes “We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us” (1 John\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>4:6) Here the writer claims to be from God, indicating that he believed his teaching to be divinely inspired. Moreover, he claims that everyone who knows God listens to his words, and anyone who is not from God does not. This assertion is very similar to what Paul said in 1 Corinthians 14:37­38, discussed above. It is also similar to Jesus’ words to the Jewish leaders in John 8. “‘Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and your will\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>is to do your father's desires’” (John 8:43­44). By stating that his words are heard by those who know God and unheard by those who do not, the author of this letter is making a claim to divine inspiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>There are many more instances of New Testament authors making direct or indirect claims to divine inspiration, which we do not have space to discuss here. A more in­depth inquiry would reveal that the authors paralleled Old Testament books, claimed the authority of apostolic tradition, warned of imposters, and more.

Muchas personas piensan que los autores no tenían la intención de escribir Escritura. Creen que los autores simplemente escribían cartas o historias, que luego fueron tratadas como divinamente inspiradas por la iglesia cristiana primitiva. Sin embargo, está claro que los autores del Nuevo Testamento creían en la autoridad divina de sus palabras. Podemos ver esto al examinar lo que dijeron acerca de sus escritos y enseñanzas. Aunque no podemos examinar aquí los 27 libros del Nuevo Testamento, veremos las afirmaciones hechas por algunos de los autores más importantes.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>Primero, los autores del Nuevo Testamento consideraban los escritos de los demás como Escritura. Esto sugiere que creían que Jesús les había dado autoridad divina. Pablo escribe en 1 Timoteo 5:18: “Porque la Escritura dice: ‘No pondrás bozal al buey que trilla’, y: ‘Digno es el obrero de su salario’”. &nbsp;La segunda cita no se encuentra en ninguna parte del Antiguo Testamento, y la frase griega que usa Pablo coincide exactamente con la frase de Lucas 10:7. Por lo tanto, Pablo consideraba el Evangelio de Lucas como Escritura, al mismo nivel que el Antiguo Testamento, ya que cita ambos en la misma línea.\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pedro consideraba las cartas de Pablo como Escritura. Escribe: “Y considerad la paciencia de nuestro Señor como salvación, tal como también nuestro amado hermano Pablo os escribió, según la sabiduría que le fue dada, como asimismo en todas sus cartas, hablando en ellas de estas cosas, entre las cuales hay algunas difíciles de entender, que los ignorantes e inestables tuercen, como también las demás Escrituras, para su propia perdición” (2 Pedro 3:15­16). Pedro afirma claramente en este pasaje que las cartas de Pablo se cuentan entre el resto de las Escrituras. Esto es significativo porque antes en la carta, Pedro escribió que los lectores debían recordar “el mandamiento del Señor y Salvador dado por vuestros apóstoles” (2 Pedro 3:2). Pedro está diciendo que el Señor da mandamientos a través de los apóstoles. Dado que Pedro es un apóstol, está implicando que el Señor da mandamientos a través de él.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>Pedro y Pablo consideraban otros escritos del Nuevo Testamento como Escritura, por lo que esto sugiere que creían en la autoridad divina de sus propias palabras.

Pero si alguno no lo reconoce, él tampoco es reconocido”. En este pasaje, Pablo se dirige directamente a sus propios escritos y los llama mandamientos del Señor. Esto es casi una afirmación directa de inspiración divina. Esta idea de un mandamiento del Señor se encuentra a lo largo del Antiguo Testamento como una afirmación de revelación directa de Dios. Por ejemplo, Dios dio mandamientos al pueblo de Israel a través de Moisés (por ejemplo, Éxodo 35:4; Números 10:13; etc.), quien hablaba con el Señor “cara a cara, como habla un hombre con su amigo” (Éxodo 33:11). Además, Pablo declara incluso que si alguien no reconoce que sus palabras son un mandamiento del Señor, “él tampoco es reconocido”. Esto muestra la confianza de Pablo en la autoridad de sus palabras.

Aquí Pablo se refiere explícitamente a las palabras que él y los apóstoles predicaban como “la palabra de Dios”. Pablo parece estar reclamando la misma inspiración que los profetas del Antiguo Testamento, quienes comenzaban con “así dice el Señor” o “la palabra del Señor”.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>El escritor del libro de Apocalipsis, Juan, hace una afirmación expresa de inspiración divina. Al principio del libro, Juan escribe que lo que sigue es una revelación que recibió de Dios a través de un ángel. Luego escribe: “Bienaventurado el que lee y los que oyen las palabras de esta profecía, y guardan las cosas en ella escritas, porque el tiempo está cerca” (Apocalipsis 1:3). Juan ordena la lectura de este libro en voz alta y el guardar lo que está escrito en él. Al hacer esto, equipara su escrito a la ley del Antiguo Testamento. Dios ordenó a los israelitas que leyeran la ley en oídos de todo el pueblo, para que pudieran guardar lo que estaba escrito en ella (Deuteronomio 31:11­13).\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>1 Juan nos da otra afirmación clara de inspiración divina.

Aquí el escritor afirma ser de Dios, indicando que creía que su enseñanza era divinamente inspirada. Además, afirma que todos los que conocen a Dios escuchan sus palabras, y cualquiera que no es de Dios no las escucha. Esta afirmación es muy similar a lo que dijo Pablo en 1 Corintios 14:37­38, discutido anteriormente. También es similar a las palabras de Jesús a los líderes judíos en Juan 8: “‘¿Por qué no entendéis mi lenguaje? Porque no podéis oír mi palabra. Vosotros sois de vuestro padre el diablo, y los deseos de vuestro padre queréis hacer’” (Juan 8:43­44). Al afirmar que sus palabras son escuchadas por los que conocen a Dios y no son escuchadas por los que no lo conocen, el autor de esta carta está haciendo una afirmación de inspiración divina.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>Hay muchas más instancias en las que los autores del Nuevo Testamento hacen afirmaciones directas o indirectas sobre la inspiración divina, las cuales no tenemos espacio para analizar aquí.

Il s’y trouve des choses difficiles à comprendre, que les ignorants et les instables tordent, comme ils le font des autres Écritures, pour leur propre perdition » (2 Pierre 3:15-16). Pierre affirme clairement dans ce passage que les lettres de Paul sont comptées parmi le reste des Écritures. Cela est significatif puisque plus tôt dans la lettre, Pierre a écrit que les lecteurs devaient se souvenir « du commandement du Seigneur et Sauveur transmis par vos apôtres » (2 Pierre 3:2).

C’est presque une affirmation directe de l’inspiration divine. Cette idée de commandement du Seigneur se retrouve tout au long de l’Ancien Testament comme une revendication de révélation directe de Dieu. Par exemple, Dieu a donné des commandements au peuple d’Israël par Moïse (par ex. Exode 35:4 ; Nombres 10:13 ; etc.), qui parlait au Seigneur « face à face, comme un homme parle à son ami » (Exode 33:11).

Jean ordonne la lecture à haute voix de ce livre et l’observation de ce qui y est écrit. Ce faisant, il assimile son écrit à la loi de l’Ancien Testament.

Ici, l’auteur affirme être de Dieu, indiquant qu’il croyait que son enseignement était divinement inspiré. De plus, il affirme que tous ceux qui connaissent Dieu écoutent ses paroles, et que quiconque n’est pas de Dieu ne les écoute pas. Cette affirmation est très similaire à ce que Paul a dit dans 1 Corinthiens 14:37-38, discuté plus haut. Elle est également similaire aux paroles de Jésus aux chefs juifs dans Jean 8 : « Pourquoi ne comprenez-vous pas mon langage ? C’est parce que vous ne pouvez pas entendre ma parole. Vous avez pour père le diable, et vous voulez accomplir les désirs de votre père » (Jean 8:43-44). En affirmant que ses paroles sont entendues par ceux qui connaissent Dieu et ne le sont pas par ceux qui ne le connaissent pas, l’auteur de cette lettre revendique une inspiration divine.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>Il existe de nombreux autres exemples d'auteurs du Nouveau Testament faisant des affirmations directes ou indirectes d'inspiration divine, que nous n'avons pas l'espace de discuter ici.

이는 너희가 내 말을 들을 줄 알지 못함이로다. 너희는 너희 아비 마귀에게서 났으니 너희 아비의 욕심대로 너희도 행하고자 하느니라’”(요한복음 8:43-44). 자신의 말이 하나님을 아는 자들에게는 들리고, 그렇지 않은 자들에게는 들리지 않는다고 말함으로써, 이 서신의 저자는 신적 영감에 대한 주장을 하고 있습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>신약성서 저자들이 직접적 또는 간접적으로 신적 영감을 주장하는 사례는 훨씬 더 많으며, 여기서 모두 다룰 공간이 없습니다. 더 깊이 있는 연구를 통해 저자들이 구약 성경과 병행하고, 사도 전통의 권위를 주장하며, 거짓 교사들을 경고하는 등의 내용을 확인할 수 있습니다. 그러나 우리는 신약성서 저자 중 적어도 일부가 자신의 저작을 권위 있는 성경으로 여겼음을 보여주었습니다. 이는 신약성서 저자들이 자신의 글을 성경으로 여기지 않았다는 견해를 반박하기에 충분합니다.\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>SUGGESTED RESOURCES\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>이 주제에 대해 더 읽고 싶은 분들은 다음 자료들을 참고하시기 바랍니다:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>--- ONLINE RESOURCES --- \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Michael Kruger – 10 Misconceptions about the NT Canon: #3: “The NT Authors Did Not Think\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They Were Writing Scripture”\u003Cbr>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fmichaeljkruger.com\u002F10-misconceptions-about-the-nt-canon-3-the-nt-authors-did-not-think-they-were-writing-scripture\">http:\u002F\u002Fmichaeljkruger.com\u002F10-misconceptions-about-the-nt-canon-3-the-nt-authors-did-not-think-they-were-writing-scripture\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Got Questions.org – Did the writers of the New Testament regard their writings as Scripture?\u003Cbr>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.gotquestions.org\u002FNT-authors-inspired.html\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.gotquestions.org\u002FNT-authors-inspired.html\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lenny Esposito – Did the New Testament Authors Know They Were Writing Scripture?\u003Cbr>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fapologetics-notes.comereason.org\u002F2015\u002F11\u002Fdid-new-testament-authors-know-they.html\">http:\u002F\u002Fapologetics-notes.comereason.org\u002F2015\u002F11\u002Fdid-new-testament-authors-know-they.html\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>--- PRINT RESOURCES ---\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Michael Kruger – The Question of Canon\u003Cbr>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0830840311\">http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0830840311\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Norm Geisler – From God To Us: How We Got Our Bible\u003Cbr>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0802428827\">https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0802428827\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F1601422504\">https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F1601422504\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>더 읽을거리:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fmichaeljkruger.com\u002F10\">http:\u002F\u002Fmichaeljkruger.com\u002F10\u003C\u002Fa>­misconceptions­about­the­nt­canon­3­the­nt­authors­did­not­think­t hey­were­writing­scripture\u002F\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Question of Canon: Challenging the Status Quo in the New Testament Debate, by Michael J.

While the 1925 and 1963 confessions had served us well, many believed certain theological currents and trends made it wise to reconsider, and where necessary, revise the 1963 statement. Article I addresses the Scriptures. The following is the statement that the convention overwhelmingly adopted.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God’s rev-elation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter.&nbsp;\u003Cem>Therefore,\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;\u003Cem>all Scripture is totally true and trust-worthy. It reveals the principles by which God&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>judges us, and therefore\u003Cem>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>is, and will remain to the end of the world, the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried. All Scripture is a testimony to Christ, who is Himself the focus of divine revelation.1\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This is a fine statement, rooted both in Scripture and the language of historic Baptist confessions. However, from its initial presentation this statement ignited a firestorm of protests among a segment of our denomination. In particular they decried 2 points: (1) Instead of saying the Bible “is\u003Cem>the record of God’s revelation\u003C\u002Fem>” as did the 1963 statement, the 2000 statement affirmed that “the Bible&nbsp;\u003Cem>is God’s revelation\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;…”; (2) Instead of saying “the criterion by which the Bible is to be interpreted is Jesus Christ,” as did the 1963&nbsp;\u003Cem>Baptist Faith &amp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cem>Message\u003C\u002Fem>, the 2000 statement affirms “All scripture is a testimony to Christ, who is Himself the focus of divine revelation.” Both revisions were viewed by its authors and the convention as a safeguard against neo-orthodox manipulation of the 1963 statement, which manifested itself in two ways: (1) in claiming that only some of the Bible is God’s revelation, and (2) in saying that the teachings of Jesus recorded in Scripture at times should, and even must, be set in opposition to other biblical texts and authors.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>During debate at the Convention a pastor from Texas said to the astonishment of thousands “that while the Bible is true and trustworthy … the Bible is still just a book.”2&nbsp;Later in a telephone interview he told Baptist Press, “As I shared, I believe the Bible is a book that God has given us for guidance. It’s a book that&nbsp;\u003Cem>points us\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;to the truth. We’re not supposed to have a relationship with a book.” These comments, confusing and misguided as they are, were mild, in comparison to what followed. In an editorial in the&nbsp;\u003Cem>Baptist Stan\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cem>dard\u003C\u002Fem>, the state paper of Texas, the following was written:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If the Bible alone is our primary guide, then all parts of the Bible receive equal weight. It is a flat Bible. For example, the words of Moses, Jesus and the Apostle Paul are equally authoritative. If, however, Jesus is the guide to interpreting Scripture, then Jesus’ words and clear actions take precedence over their apparent discrepancies with other Scripture passages, such as the Old Testament codes and some of Paul’s admonitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Some Scriptures, especially portions of the Old Testament, clearly stand in paradox to Jesus’ life and teachings, also recorded in Scripture. Other passages, such as Paul’s writings, seem to be at odds with each other, and Jesus’ words and actions clarify and separate the timeless and universal from the culturally specific.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Baptists who place Jesus over the Bible still affirm the full authority of the Bible upon their lives. They do not exalt personal experience over Scripture; rather, they base their decisions upon Scripture. But some passages are paradoxical; they say different things about the same subject. In those occasions, Jesus-first people look to Jesus for help in understanding what the biblical norm means for help in applying the Scripture to their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After this rather convoluted and sad exhibition of sloppy theology, the editor concludes:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So, the SBC leaders—who trumpeted “biblical inerrancy” as a battle cry to gain and implement control of the convention during the past 20 years—- have a high view of Scripture, after all. In fact, it’s higher than we thought. Rather than a Trinity, they worship a defacto Quartet: Father, Son, Holy Spirit and Holy Bible, with the Bible acting as the arbiter of the other three.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This is dangerous, for several reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>First, it refutes orthodoxy—which asserts the primacy of the Godhead: Father, Son and Holy Spirit—by exalting the Bible to near-divinity and supplanting the influence of Jesus.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Second, by elevating a thing, as precious and authoritative as the Bible is, to such lofty status, it at least implies idolatry, the worship of something other than God.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Third, it denigrates the influence of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit to work in lives and guide them toward God’s will.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fourth, it begs a vital question: Who then is to provide the authoritative interpretation of all Scripture?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If Scripture stands over Jesus, then the teachings and actions of Jesus are inadequate.3\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A local Louisville pastor added, “Not all Scripture rises to the full level of Christ.” Later the “BGCT Seminary Study Committee Report” said the&nbsp;\u003Cem>2000 Baptist&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cem>Faith &amp; Message&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>makes the Bible “equal to God.” Even the occasionally evangelical&nbsp;\u003Cem>Christianity Today&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>chimed in, saying the 2000 statement “is poorer without the rich Christo-centric language of the earlier statement.”4&nbsp;Strangely neither this editor nor any other detractor noted that “Jesus as the criterion” does not appear in the 1925 statement or any other Baptist Confession! As R. Albert Mohler, Jr. pointed out,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The statement [that Jesus is the criterion] was not simply eliminated. It was replaced with a sentence that is far more in keeping with historic confessions of faith. The new sentence affirms that “All Scripture is a testimony to Christ, who is Himself the pinnacle of divine revelation.” The language of the 1963 statement is not found in any historic confession of faith, nor did it appear in the 1925&nbsp;\u003Cem>Baptist Faith and Message\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;as adopted by the SBC…. The 2000 revision is even more Christo-logically focused than the 1963 statement, and its Christological hermeneutic is stronger, not weaker. In keeping with historic evangelical and Baptist theology, we understand that every single passage of the Bible, in the Old Testament or in the New Testament, is a testimony to Christ. Every word is true, every word is fulfilled in Christ, and Christ affirmed every word of Scripture as fully authoritative.5\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What should we conclude from the above? Have we “demoted Jesus” and improperly elevated the Bible to a status “equal to God”? Though numerous avenues could be profitably pursued, I want to examine just one issue and per-haps the most important one. I want to try and answer the question, “What did Jesus believe about the Bible? What was the Savior’s view of Scripture?” After all, as the early Clark Pinnock rightly says, “Unreserved commitment to Jesus requires us to look at the Bible through his eyes.”6&nbsp;We shall call to the witness stand several statements made by our Lord, but in particular I want to give attention to Matthew 5:17-18. A careful examination of this text reveals two basic truths concerning Jesus’ view of the Bible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jesus Believed that All the Scriptures Point to Him (5:17)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the greatest sermon ever preached, the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus speaks on the theme of God’s kingdom (Matt 5:17-20). These verses serve as the introduction to the “six great antitheses” of 5:21-48. They also explain how we can live out the beatitudes of 5:3-12 and be the salt of the earth and the light of the world (5:13-16). Matthew 5:17 introduces us to the high view of Scripture held by Jesus. Clearly what is said here pertains to the Old Testament Scriptures. Nevertheless, what He&nbsp;\u003Cem>affirmed&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>about the Old Testament He also&nbsp;\u003Cem>promised&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>concerning the New Testament. In John 16:12-15 Jesus said,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. There-fore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>First, Jesus introduced teachings that were new and striking. Indeed, as John 7:46 states, “No man ever spoke like this man.” Some may have concluded that His teaching constituted a decisive break with the Old Testament Scriptures. That is certainly the judgment of some Baptists today. “Not so,” says Jesus. “Do not think (or consider) that I came to destroy (annul, abrogate, disintegrate, demolish.) the law.” J. A. Alexander notes the idea is that of “the destruction of a whole by the complete separation of its parts, as when a house is taken down by being taken to pieces.”7&nbsp;Jesus says I did not come to tear apart or dismantle the law and prophets (a reference to the OT Scriptures of His day). I did not come to&nbsp;\u003Cem>destroy\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;(repeated for emphasis) but to fulfill. Note that the antithesis is not between “abolish” and “keep” but between “abolish” and “fulfill.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Second, Jesus provides not only an emphatic denial but also a positive declaration concerning the purpose for his coming—he came to fulfill, complete the Scriptures. To set them aside was never His agenda. To bring them to fulfillment and fruition was why He came. Don Carson has it right when he says,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jesus fulfills the entire Old Testament in many ways. Because they point toward him, he has certainly not come to abolish them. Rather, he has come to fulfill them in a rich diversity of ways.… Jesus does not conceive of his life and ministry in terms of&nbsp;\u003Cem>opposition\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;to the Old Testament, but in terms of&nbsp;\u003Cem>bringing to fruition&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>that toward which it points.\u003Cem>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>Thus the law and the prophets, far from being abolished, find their valid continuity in terms of their outworking in Jesus. The detailed prescriptions of the Old Testament may well be superceded, because whatever is prophetic must be in some sense provisional.&nbsp;\u003Cem>But whatever\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;\u003Cem>is prophetic likewise discovers its legitimate continuity in the happy arrival of that toward which it has pointed\u003C\u002Fem>.8\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That our Lord would have affirmed that “All Scripture is a testimony to Christ, who is Himself the focus of divine revelation” (which concludes the&nbsp;\u003Cem>Baptist Faith &amp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cem>Message 2000&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>statement on Scripture) can hardly be questioned:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>John 5:39—“You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Luke 24:25-27—“Then He said to them, ‘O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?’ And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Luke 24:44-45—“Then He said to them, ‘These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.’ And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This truth that Jesus Christ is the theme of the entire Bible is well-captured in the anonymous poem, “I find my Lord in the Book”:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I find my Lord in the Bible where ever I chance to look, He is the theme of the Bible the center and heart of the Book;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He is the Rose of Sharon, He is the Lily fair, Where ever I open my Bible the Lord of the Book is there.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He, at the Book’s beginning, gave to the earth its form, He is the Ark of shelter bearing the brunt of the storm,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Burning Bush of the desert, the budding of Aaron’s Rod,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Where ever I look in the Bible I see the Son of God.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Ram upon Mt.

Jesus introduces verse 18 with a note of personal authority that transcended the authority of all other rabbis. The word&nbsp;\u003Cem>amen\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;variously translated as “assuredly,” “truly,” or “I tell you the truth” alerts us that the words that will follow are of paramount importance and authority. The phrase “until heaven and earth pass away” means until the end of the age, as long as the present world order persists. One jot (\u003Cem>iôta\u003C\u002Fem>) is a reference to the&nbsp;\u003Cem>yod\u003C\u002Fem>, the smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet, similar in shape to our apostrophe. One tittle (\u003Cem>keraia\u003C\u002Fem>) is the smallest projection or part of a Hebrew letter, similar to that which distinguishes our “F” from an upside down “L.” The phrase “will by no means” (\u003Cem>ou me\u003C\u002Fem>) is a double negative used to emphasize that God’s law shall not pass away until all is fulfilled. In the Lukan parallel we read, “It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail” (Luke 16:17).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jesus affirms the reliability and truthfulness of the Scriptures in the strongest possible language. He is not saying that the Old Testament contains some truth or that it becomes truth when men and women have a significant encounter with it. As he affirms in John 10:35, “the Scripture cannot be broken.” As He proclaims in prayer to the Father in John 17:17, “Your word is truth.” The outstanding scholar H. C. G. Moule says it well, “[Jesus] absolutely trusted the Bible; and though there are in it things inexplicable and intricate that have puzzled me so much, I am going, not in a blind sense, but reverently, to trust the Book because of Him.”9\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I am no fan of liberal\u002Fantisupernatural theology or destructive biblical criticism. I am unimpressed with its worldview, bias, and skewed methodologies. Still, we can learn from those with whom we disagree, and sometimes a breath of scholarly fresh air and honesty blows our way from this camp. When it comes to what Jesus and the Church believed about the Bible, some of our moderate Baptist brothers and sisters would do well to listen to some of their heroes:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Rudolf Bultmann—“Jesus agreed always with the scribes of his time in accepting without question&nbsp;\u003Cem>the authority of the (Old Testament) law&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>…\u003Cem>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>the idea that Jesus had attacked the authority of the law was wholly unknown to the Christian community.”10\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Emil Brunner—“The doctrine of Verbal Inspiration was already known to pre-Christian Judaism and was probably also taken over by Paul and the rest of the Apostles.”11\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kirsopp Lake—“It is a mistake often made by educated persons who happen to have but little knowledge of historical theology to suppose that fundamentalism is a new and strange form of thought. It is nothing of the kind; it is the partial and uneducated survival of a theology which was once universally held by all Christians. How many were there, for instance, in Christian churches in the eighteenth century who doubted the infallible inspiration of the Scripture? A few perhaps, but very few. No, the fundamentalist may be wrong; I think that he is. But it is we who have departed from the tradition, not he; and I am sorry for anyone who tries to argue with a fundamentalist on the basis of authority. The&nbsp;\u003Cem>Bible\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;and the corpus theologicum of the Church are on the fundamentalist side” [italics added].12\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Four notable examples are cited else-where by another author—“H.J. Cadbury, Harvard professor and one of the more extreme New Testament critics of the last generation, once declared that he was far more sure as a mere historical fact that Jesus held to the common Jewish view of an infallible Bible than that Jesus believed in His own messiahship. Adolf Harnack, the greatest church historian of modern times, insists that Christ was one with His apostles, the Jews, and the entire early Church in complete commitment to the infallible authority of the Bible. John Knox, author of what is perhaps the most highly regarded recent life of Christ, states that there can be no question that this view of the Bible was taught by our Lord Himself. The liberal critic, F. C. Grant, concludes that in the New Testament, ‘It is everywhere taken for granted that Scripture is trust-worthy, infallible, and inerrant.’”13\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When we survey our Lord’s teaching in the Gospels we discover that the judgments of these scholars is confirmed. Jesus consistently treated the historical narratives of the Old Testament as straightforward records of fact. He referred to Abel (Luke 11:51), Noah (Matt 24:37-39), Abraham (John 8:56), Sodom and Gomorrah (Matt 10:15, 11:23-24), Lot (Luke 17:28-32), Isaac and Jacob (Matt 8:11), the manna (John 6:31), the wilderness serpent (John 3:14), David (Matt 22:43), Solomon (Matt 6:29, 12:42), Elijah (Luke 4:25-26), Elisha (Luke 4:27), Jonah (Matt 12:39-41), and Moses (Matt 8:4), among others. Nowhere is there the slightest hint that he questioned the historicity or accuracy of the accounts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It is interesting to note that Jesus often chose as the basis of his teaching those very stories that many modern skeptics find unacceptable (e.g., Adam and Eve, Noah’s flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, and Jonah). For Jesus, Scripture was the final court of appeal in his disputes with the Pharisees and Sadducees. In his battle against Satan in the wilderness, Jesus cited scriptural statements as arguments against which no further argument was possible (Matt 4:1-11). Jesus might set aside or reject the Rabbinic or Pharisaical interpretation of the Old Testament (cf. Matt 5:21-48), but He never questioned its authority or truthfulness.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The early Pinnock saw this clearly when he wrote,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jesus’ doctrine of inspiration receives expression in the Sermon on the Mount. Before setting forth his ethical instructions, Jesus explained his intention. “Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them” (Mt. 5:17). Evidently he does not want us to think that the thrust of his teaching is to violate or even to devalue Old Testament revelation. The saying which is also contained in Luke (16:17) has an entirely genuine ring to it. Jesus’ enemies were eager to pin an “antinomian” label on him if they could. Therefore, Jesus made it clear that the object of his criticisms was not the Bible, but the traditions which the Rabbis had built as a fence around it, traditions which in practice enjoyed an authority actually higher than the written Word. He assures us that his confidence in the divine character of Scripture does not stop short even of its smallest elements. “Not an iota, not a dot, will pass” (Mt. 5:18). He issues a stern warning: “Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven” (v. 19).14\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liberal scholar James Barr is incorrect when he writes,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jesus took Jewish scripture as it was, as his contemporaries did, and he used it as they did in this respect, as a source through which authoritative intimations of divine truth had been given. Thus if Jesus refers to a passage in Exodus or in Deuteronomy with the words “Moses said,” it is quite mistaken to read this as if he was placing his own full messianic and divine authority behind the assertion that these books were actually written by the historical Moses. No such question entered his head and there is nothing in the Gospels that suggests that his teaching was intended to cope with it. Historical questions interested him little.15\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jesus said, “Not a jot or tittle.…”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Former Southern professor, Alan Culpepper, got it wrong when he said,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jesus had remarkably little to say about the nature of Scripture … [and that] Jesus demands [in the Sermon on the Mount] a standard of righteousness higher than that set by the Hebrew Scriptures and the traditions of the Pharisees.16\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The traditions of the Pharisees yes, the Hebrew Scriptures no way.

Few lament his theological disintegration more than I. Earlier in his life, he articulated the crux of the matter concerning the relationship between Jesus and the Bible with crystal clarity:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shall we follow Jesus in his view of Scripture? In the light of this evidence the question calls for another. How can a Christian even consider&nbsp;\u003Cem>not&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>doing so? Our Lord’s view of\u003Cem>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>inspiration was not an incidental tenet on the border of his theology. His belief in the truthfulness of the Old Testament was the rock on which he based his own sense of vocation and the validity of much of his teachings. The question about the inspiration of Scripture really boils down to the issue of Christology. It is impossible to affirm his authority while at the same time seeking to evade his teachings regarding the divine authority of the Bible. If Christ’s claim to be the Son of God is true, his person guarantees the truth of all the rest of his teachings as well. So long as Jesus Christ is confessed, honored, and adored, we may confidently expect a high view of Scripture to persist in the church. And in the light of a considerable defection from that view amongst professed Christians today we boldly appeal for a return to a proper view of the Bible on the basis of the massive fact of our Lord’s doctrine of inspiration.19\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In my early days at Southern, I had lunch with a former professor. Even though we held significantly different theologies, he was always gracious and supportive of me and I enjoyed the time of fellowship with him. As we sat down to eat he looked at me and said, “I want to ask you a question and I mean no offense.” I replied that he could ask me anything he wished, and his question was this, “How did you turn out theologically the way that you are? I mean, why do you think theologically like you do?” I told him I was not offended by the question at all, but I did not think that my answer would be very satisfying. I shared that when I was a little boy at about the age of eight, I trusted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. As I grew in the faith, I came to understand that to be a Christian meant to live under the Lordship of Jesus Christ and that His Lordship should permeate every area of our lives. His Lordship included what I should think about all matters of theology, including the Bible. I told him that as I had studied Jesus’ view of the Bible, I came to the conclusion that I could do nothing other than hold to its complete truthfulness and reliability. To be anything other than that would be to set aside the Lordship of Jesus Christ. That professor simply responded by saying, “I have never thought of it like that before, but it does make a lot of sense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>L. R.

There were times when he looked like he was forty feet high. And he looked into my face and said, “My boy, on this Hill orthodoxy, the old truth is making one of its last stands and I want to deliver to you a charge and I do it in the blood of Jesus Christ.” He said, “You will be elected president of this seminary. I want you, if there ever comes heresy in your faculty, to take it to your faculty. If they won’t hear you, take it to the trustees. If they won’t hear you take it to the conventions that appointed them. If they won’t hear you, take it to the common Baptists. They will hear you.

El tema más importante de la agenda era la&nbsp;\u003Cem>Confesión Bautista de Fe y Mensaje de 2000\u003C\u002Fem>. Aunque las confesiones de 1925 y 1963 nos habían servido bien, muchos creían que ciertas corrientes y tendencias teológicas hacían prudente reconsiderar y, cuando fuera necesario, revisar la declaración de 1963. El Artículo I trata sobre las Escrituras. A continuación se presenta la declaración que la convención adoptó abrumadoramente.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La Santa Biblia fue escrita por hombres divinamente inspirados y es la revelación de Dios de Sí mismo al hombre. Es un tesoro perfecto de instrucción divina. Tiene a Dios como su autor, la salvación como su fin, y la verdad, sin ninguna mezcla de error, como su materia.&nbsp;\u003Cem>Por tanto,\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;\u003Cem>toda la Escritura es totalmente verdadera y digna de confianza. Revela los principios por los cuales Dios\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;nos juzga, y por tanto\u003Cem>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>es, y permanecerá hasta el fin del mundo, el verdadero centro de la unión cristiana, y el estándar supremo por el cual toda conducta humana, credos y opiniones religiosas deben ser probados. Toda la Escritura es un testimonio de Cristo, quien es Él mismo el enfoque de la revelación divina.1\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Esta es una buena declaración, arraigada tanto en las Escrituras como en el lenguaje de las confesiones bautistas históricas. Sin embargo, desde su presentación inicial, esta declaración encendió una tormenta de protestas entre un segmento de nuestra denominación. En particular, protestaron 2 puntos: (1) En lugar de decir que la Biblia “es\u003Cem>el registro de la revelación de Dios\u003C\u002Fem>” como lo hacía la declaración de 1963, la declaración de 2000 afirmó que “la Biblia&nbsp;\u003Cem>es la revelación de Dios\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;…”; (2) En lugar de decir “el criterio por el cual la Biblia debe interpretarse es Jesucristo,” como lo hacía la&nbsp;\u003Cem>Confesión Bautista de Fe y Mensaje\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;de 1963, la declaración de 2000 afirma “Toda la Escritura es un testimonio de Cristo, quien es Él mismo el enfoque de la revelación divina.” Ambas revisiones fueron vistas por sus autores y la convención como una salvaguarda contra la manipulación neo-ortodoxa de la declaración de 1963, que se manifestó de dos maneras: (1) al afirmar que solo una parte de la Biblia es la revelación de Dios, y (2) al decir que las enseñanzas de Jesús registradas en las Escrituras a veces deben, e incluso deben, oponerse a otros textos y autores bíblicos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Durante el debate en la Convención, un pastor de Texas dijo, para asombro de miles, “que aunque la Biblia es verdadera y digna de confianza … la Biblia sigue siendo solo un libro.”2&nbsp;Más tarde, en una entrevista telefónica, le dijo a Baptist Press: “Como compartí, creo que la Biblia es un libro que Dios nos ha dado para guía. Es un libro que&nbsp;\u003Cem>nos señala\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;hacia la verdad. No se supone que tengamos una relación con un libro.” Estos comentarios, confusos y equivocados como son, fueron suaves, en comparación con lo que siguió. En un editorial en el&nbsp;\u003Cem>Baptist Stan\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cem>dard\u003C\u002Fem>, el periódico estatal de Texas, se escribió lo siguiente:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Si la Biblia sola es nuestra guía principal, entonces todas las partes de la Biblia reciben el mismo peso. Es una Biblia plana. Por ejemplo, las palabras de Moisés, Jesús y el Apóstol Pablo son igualmente autoritativas. Sin embargo, si Jesús es la guía para interpretar las Escrituras, entonces las palabras y acciones claras de Jesús tienen precedencia sobre sus aparentes discrepancias con otros pasajes de las Escrituras, como los códigos del Antiguo Testamento y algunas de las admoniciones de Pablo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Algunos pasajes de las Escrituras, especialmente porciones del Antiguo Testamento, claramente están en paradoja con la vida y enseñanzas de Jesús, también registradas en las Escrituras. Otros pasajes, como los escritos de Pablo, parecen estar en desacuerdo entre sí, y las palabras y acciones de Jesús aclaran y separan lo atemporal y universal de lo culturalmente específico.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Los bautistas que colocan a Jesús por encima de la Biblia aún afirman la plena autoridad de la Biblia sobre sus vidas. No exaltan la experiencia personal sobre las Escrituras; más bien, basan sus decisiones en las Escrituras. Pero algunos pasajes son paradójicos; dicen cosas diferentes sobre el mismo tema. En esas ocasiones, las personas que ponen a Jesús primero miran a Jesús para obtener ayuda en la comprensión de lo que la norma bíblica significa para ayudar a aplicar las Escrituras a sus vidas.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Después de esta exhibición bastante enredada y triste de teología descuidada, el editor concluye:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Así que los líderes de la SBC —que pregonaron la “inerrancia bíblica” como un grito de batalla para ganar e implementar el control de la convención durante los últimos 20 años— tienen, después de todo, una alta visión de las Escrituras. De hecho, es más alta de lo que pensábamos. En lugar de una Trinidad, adoran un Cuarteto de facto: Padre, Hijo, Espíritu Santo y Santa Biblia, con la Biblia actuando como el árbitro de los otros tres.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Esto es peligroso, por varias razones.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Primero, refuta la ortodoxia —que afirma la primacía de la Deidad: Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo— al exaltar la Biblia a una casi divinidad y suplantar la influencia de Jesús.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Segundo, al elevar una cosa, tan preciosa y autoritativa como es la Biblia, a un estatus tan elevado, al menos implica idolatría, la adoración de algo que no es Dios.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tercero, denigra la influencia de Jesús y el poder del Espíritu Santo para obrar en las vidas y guiarlas hacia la voluntad de Dios.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cuarto, plantea una pregunta vital: ¿Quién, entonces, debe proporcionar la interpretación autoritativa de toda la Escritura?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Si la Escritura está por encima de Jesús, entonces las enseñanzas y acciones de Jesús son inadecuadas.3\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Un pastor local de Louisville añadió: “No toda la Escritura alcanza el nivel pleno de Cristo.” Más tarde, el “Informe del Comité de Estudio del Seminario BGCT” dijo que la&nbsp;\u003Cem>Confesión Bautista de Fe y Mensaje de 2000\u003C\u002Fem>hace que la Biblia “sea igual a Dios”. Incluso la ocasionalmente evangélica&nbsp;\u003Cem>Christianity Today&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>intervino, diciendo que la declaración del 2000 “es más pobre sin el rico lenguaje cristocéntrico de la declaración anterior”.4&nbsp;Extrañamente, ni este editor ni ningún otro detractor notó que “Jesús como el criterio” no aparece en la declaración de 1925 ni en ninguna otra Confesión Bautista. Como señaló R. Albert Mohler, Jr.,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La declaración [de que Jesús es el criterio] no fue simplemente eliminada. Fue reemplazada por una oración que está mucho más en consonancia con las confesiones históricas de fe. La nueva oración afirma que “Toda la Escritura es un testimonio de Cristo, quien es Él mismo la cúspide de la revelación divina”. El lenguaje de la declaración de 1963 no se encuentra en ninguna confesión histórica de fe, ni apareció en la&nbsp;\u003Cem>Bautista Fe y Mensaje&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>de 1925 adoptada por la SBC…. La revisión del 2000 está aún más enfocada cristológicamente que la declaración de 1963, y su hermenéutica cristológica es más fuerte, no más débil. De acuerdo con la teología evangélica e histórica bautista, entendemos que cada pasaje de la Biblia, en el Antiguo Testamento o en el Nuevo Testamento, es un testimonio de Cristo. Cada palabra es verdadera, cada palabra se cumple en Cristo, y Cristo afirmó cada palabra de la Escritura como plenamente autoritativa.5\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>¿Qué debemos concluir de lo anterior? ¿Hemos “rebajado a Jesús” y elevado impropiamente la Biblia a un estatus “igual a Dios”? Aunque se podrían seguir provechosamente numerosas vías, quiero examinar solo un asunto y quizás el más importante. Quiero intentar responder la pregunta: “¿Qué creía Jesús acerca de la Biblia? ¿Cuál era la opinión del Salvador sobre las Escrituras?” Después de todo, como dice acertadamente el primer Clark Pinnock, “El compromiso sin reservas con Jesús nos exige mirar la Biblia a través de sus ojos”.6&nbsp;Llamaremos al estrado a varias declaraciones hechas por nuestro Señor, pero en particular quiero prestar atención a Mateo 5:17-18. Un examen cuidadoso de este texto revela dos verdades básicas acerca de la opinión de Jesús sobre la Biblia.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jesús Creía que Todas las Escrituras Señalan Hacia Él (5:17)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En el sermón más grande jamás predicado, el Sermón del Monte, Jesús habla sobre el tema del reino de Dios (Mateo 5:17-20). Estos versículos sirven como introducción a las “seis grandes antítesis” de 5:21-48. También explican cómo podemos vivir las bienaventuranzas de 5:3-12 y ser la sal de la tierra y la luz del mundo (5:13-16). Mateo 5:17 nos introduce a la alta opinión que Jesús tenía de las Escrituras. Claramente lo que se dice aquí se refiere a las Escrituras del Antiguo Testamento. Sin embargo, lo que Él&nbsp;\u003Cem>afirmó&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>sobre el Antiguo Testamento también lo&nbsp;\u003Cem>prometió&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>con respecto al Nuevo Testamento. En Juan 16:12-15 Jesús dijo,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Todavía tengo muchas cosas que deciros, pero no las podéis sobrellevar ahora. Pero cuando venga Él, el Espíritu de verdad, os guiará a toda la verdad; porque no hablará por su propia cuenta, sino que hablará todo lo que oiga, y os anunciará las cosas que han de venir. Él me glorificará, porque tomará de lo mío y os lo declarará. Todo lo que tiene el Padre es mío; por eso dije que tomará de lo mío y os lo declarará.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Primero, Jesús introdujo enseñanzas que eran nuevas y sorprendentes. En efecto, como dice Juan 7:46, “Ningún hombre ha hablado jamás como este hombre”. Algunos pudieron haber concluido que Su enseñanza constituía una ruptura decisiva con las Escrituras del Antiguo Testamento. Ciertamente ese es el juicio de algunos bautistas hoy. “No es así”, dice Jesús. “No penséis (o consideréis) que vine para destruir (anular, abrogar, desintegrar, demoler) la ley”. J. A. Alexander señala que la idea es la de “la destrucción de un todo por la separación completa de sus partes, como cuando una casa es derribada desarmándola”.7&nbsp;Jesús dice que no vine a romper o desmantelar la ley y los profetas (una referencia a las Escrituras del Antiguo Testamento de Su época). No vine a&nbsp;\u003Cem>destruir\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;(repetido para énfasis) sino a cumplir. Nótese que la antítesis no es entre “abolir” y “guardar”, sino entre “abolir” y “cumplir”.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Segundo, Jesús proporciona no solo una negación enfática sino también una declaración positiva acerca del propósito de su venida—vino a cumplir, completar las Escrituras. Ponerlas a un lado nunca fue Su agenda. Traerlas a cumplimiento y fruto fue por lo que Él vino. Don Carson lo expresa correctamente cuando dice,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jesús cumple todo el Antiguo Testamento de muchas maneras.

Cadbury, profesor de Harvard y uno de los críticos más extremos del Nuevo Testamento de la última generación, declaró una vez que estaba mucho más seguro, como mero hecho histórico, de que Jesús sostenía la opinión judía común de una Biblia infalible que de que Jesús creía en su propio mesiazgo. Adolf Harnack, el mayor historiador de la iglesia de los tiempos modernos, insiste en que Cristo estaba unido a sus apóstoles, a los judíos y a toda la Iglesia primitiva en un compromiso total con la autoridad infalible de la Biblia. John Knox, autor de lo que quizás sea la vida de Cristo más apreciada recientemente, afirma que no puede haber duda de que esta visión de la Biblia fue enseñada por nuestro Señor mismo.

Jesús trató consistentemente las narraciones históricas del Antiguo Testamento como registros directos de hechos. Se refirió a Abel (Lucas 11:51), Noé (Mateo 24:37-39), Abraham (Juan 8:56), Sodoma y Gomorra (Mateo 10:15, 11:23-24), Lot (Lucas 17:28-32), Isaac y Jacob (Mateo 8:11), el maná (Juan 6:31), la serpiente del desierto (Juan 3:14), David (Mateo 22:43), Salomón (Mateo 6:29, 12:42), Elías (Lucas 4:25-26), Eliseo (Lucas 4:27), Jonás (Mateo 12:39-41) y Moisés (Mateo 8:4), entre otros.

Para Jesús, la Escritura era la última instancia de apelación en sus disputas con los fariseos y saduceos. En su batalla contra Satanás en el desierto, Jesús citó declaraciones de las Escrituras como argumentos contra los que no era posible ningún argumento adicional (Mateo 4:1-11). Jesús pudo dejar de lado o rechazar la interpretación rabínica o farisaica del Antiguo Testamento (cf. Mateo 5:21-48), pero nunca cuestionó su autoridad o veracidad.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El primer Pinnock vio esto claramente cuando escribió,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La doctrina de la inspiración de Jesús recibe expresión en el Sermón del Monte. Antes de exponer sus instrucciones éticas, Jesús explicó su intención. “No penséis que he venido para abolir la ley y los profetas; no he venido para abolirlos, sino para cumplirlos” (Mt. 5:17). Evidentemente no quiere que pensemos que el objetivo de su enseñanza es violar o incluso devaluar la revelación del Antiguo Testamento. El dicho que también se encuentra en Lucas (16:17) tiene un tono completamente genuino. Los enemigos de Jesús estaban ansiosos de etiquetarlo como “antinomiano” si podían. Por lo tanto, Jesús dejó claro que el objeto de sus críticas no era la Biblia, sino las tradiciones que los rabinos habían construido como una cerca alrededor de ella, tradiciones que en la práctica gozaban de una autoridad realmente superior a la Palabra escrita. Nos asegura que su confianza en el carácter divino de la Escritura no se detiene ni siquiera en sus elementos más pequeños. “Ni una jota, ni un ápice, pasará” (Mt. 5:18). Emite una severa advertencia: “Cualquiera que relaje uno de estos mandamientos, por pequeño que sea, y enseñe así a los hombres, será llamado el más pequeño en el reino de los cielos; pero el que los cumpla y los enseñe, será llamado grande en el reino de los cielos” (v. 19).14\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El erudito liberal James Barr está equivocado cuando escribe,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jesús tomó la Escritura judía tal como era, como lo hacían sus contemporáneos, y la usó como ellos lo hacían en este sentido, como una fuente a través de la cual se habían dado indicaciones autorizadas de la verdad divina. Así, si Jesús se refiere a un pasaje en Éxodo o en Deuteronomio con las palabras “Moisés dijo”, es completamente erróneo leer esto como si estuviera colocando su propia autoridad mesiánica y divina plena detrás de la afirmación de que estos libros fueron realmente escritos por el Moisés histórico. Ninguna pregunta de este tipo entró en su cabeza y no hay nada en los Evangelios que sugiera que su enseñanza estaba destinada a hacer frente a ello.

La visión de nuestro Señor sobre la inspiración no era un punto incidental en el margen de su teología. Su creencia en la veracidad del Antiguo Testamento era la roca sobre la que basó su propio sentido de vocación y la validez de gran parte de sus enseñanzas. La cuestión sobre la inspiración de las Escrituras se reduce realmente al tema de la cristología. Es imposible afirmar su autoridad al mismo tiempo que se intenta evadir sus enseñanzas respecto a la autoridad divina de la Biblia. Si la pretensión de Cristo de ser el Hijo de Dios es verdadera, su persona garantiza la verdad de todas las demás enseñanzas suyas. Mientras se confiese, honre y adore a Jesucristo, podemos esperar con confianza que persista en la iglesia una alta visión de las Escrituras. Y a la luz de una considerable deserción de esa visión entre los que profesan ser cristianos hoy, apelamos con audacia a un retorno a una visión adecuada de la Biblia sobre la base del hecho masivo de la doctrina de nuestro Señor sobre la inspiración.19\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En mis primeros días en Southern, almorcé con un antiguo profesor. Aunque sosteníamos teologías significativamente diferentes, siempre fue amable y me apoyó, y disfruté del tiempo de comunión con él. Al sentarnos a comer, me miró y dijo: «Quiero hacerte una pregunta y no pretendo ofender». Respondí que podía preguntarme lo que quisiera, y su pregunta fue esta: «¿Cómo llegaste teológicamente a ser como eres? Es decir, ¿por qué piensas teológicamente como lo haces?». Le dije que no me ofendía la pregunta en absoluto, pero que no creía que mi respuesta fuera muy satisfactoria. Le conté que cuando era un niño pequeño, alrededor de los ocho años, confié en Jesucristo como mi Señor y Salvador. A medida que crecía en la fe, llegué a entender que ser cristiano significaba vivir bajo el señorío de Jesucristo y que su señorío debía impregnar todas las áreas de nuestras vidas. Su señorío incluía lo que debía pensar sobre todos los asuntos de teología, incluida la Biblia. Le dije que, al estudiar la visión de Jesús sobre la Biblia, llegué a la conclusión de que no podía hacer otra cosa que sostener su completa veracidad y fiabilidad. Ser cualquier otra cosa que eso sería apartar el señorío de Jesucristo.

La question la plus importante à l’ordre du jour était la&nbsp;\u003Cem>Baptist Faith and Message 2000\u003C\u002Fem>. Si les confessions de 1925 et 1963 nous avaient bien servis, beaucoup estimaient que certains courants et tendances théologiques rendaient sage de reconsidérer, et si nécessaire, de réviser la déclaration de 1963. L’Article I traite des Écritures. Voici la déclaration que la convention adopta à une large majorité.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La Sainte Bible a été écrite par des hommes divinement inspirés et constitue la révélation que Dieu donne de Lui-même à l’homme. Elle est un trésor parfait d’instruction divine. Dieu en est l’auteur, le salut en est le but, et la vérité, sans aucun mélange d’erreur, en est la matière.&nbsp;\u003Cem>C’est pourquoi,\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;\u003Cem>toute l’Écriture est totalement vraie et digne de confiance. Elle révèle les principes par lesquels Dieu\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;nous juge, et est donc\u003Cem>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>, et restera jusqu’à la fin du monde, le véritable centre de l’union chrétienne, et la norme suprême à laquelle toute conduite humaine, tout credo et toute opinion religieuse doivent être soumis. Toute l’Écriture rend témoignage à Christ, qui est Lui-même le point focal de la révélation divine.1\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>C’est une belle déclaration, enracinée à la fois dans l’Écriture et dans le langage des confessions baptistes historiques. Cependant, dès sa présentation initiale, cette déclaration a suscité une tempête de protestations parmi une partie de notre dénomination. En particulier, deux points ont été dénoncés : (1) Au lieu de dire que la Bible « est\u003Cem>le récit de la révélation de Dieu\u003C\u002Fem>» comme le faisait la déclaration de 1963, la déclaration de 2000 affirme que « la Bible&nbsp;\u003Cem>est la révélation de Dieu\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;…» ; (2) Au lieu de dire « le critère d’interprétation de la Bible est Jésus-Christ », comme le faisait la&nbsp;\u003Cem>Baptist Faith &amp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cem>Message\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;de 1963, la déclaration de 2000 affirme que « Toute l’Écriture rend témoignage à Christ, qui est Lui-même le point focal de la révélation divine ». Ces deux révisions ont été considérées par leurs auteurs et par la convention comme une protection contre une manipulation néo-orthodoxe de la déclaration de 1963, qui s’est manifestée de deux manières : (1) en affirmant que seule une partie de la Bible est la révélation de Dieu, et (2) en disant que les enseignements de Jésus consignés dans l’Écriture doivent parfois, et même doivent, être opposés à d’autres textes et auteurs bibliques.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Durant le débat à la Convention, un pasteur du Texas déclara à la stupeur de milliers de personnes « que si la Bible est vraie et digne de confiance … la Bible n’en reste pas moins un livre ».2&nbsp;Plus tard, lors d’une interview téléphonique accordée à Baptist Press, il déclara : « Comme je l’ai dit, je crois que la Bible est un livre que Dieu nous a donné pour nous guider. C’est un livre qui&nbsp;\u003Cem>nous oriente\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;vers la vérité. Nous ne sommes pas censés entretenir une relation avec un livre. » Ces propos, aussi confus et malavisés soient-ils, étaient modérés en comparaison de ce qui suivit. Dans un éditorial du&nbsp;\u003Cem>Baptist Stan\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cem>dard\u003C\u002Fem>, le journal de l’État du Texas, on pouvait lire :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Si la Bible seule est notre guide principal, alors toutes les parties de la Bible reçoivent un poids égal. C’est une Bible plate. Par exemple, les paroles de Moïse, de Jésus et de l’apôtre Paul sont également autoritaires. Si, en revanche, Jésus est le guide pour interpréter l’Écriture, alors les paroles et les actions claires de Jésus prennent le pas sur leurs contradictions apparentes avec d’autres passages de l’Écriture, tels que les codes de l’Ancien Testament et certaines admonitions de Paul.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Certains passages de l’Écriture, en particulier des portions de l’Ancien Testament, se trouvent clairement en paradoxe avec la vie et les enseignements de Jésus, également consignés dans l’Écriture. D’autres passages, tels que les écrits de Paul, semblent être en contradiction les uns avec les autres, et les paroles et les actions de Jésus clarifient et séparent ce qui est intemporel et universel de ce qui est culturellement spécifique.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les baptistes qui placent Jésus au-dessus de la Bible affirment toujours la pleine autorité de la Bible sur leur vie. Ils n’exaltent pas l’expérience personnelle au-dessus de l’Écriture ; au contraire, ils fondent leurs décisions sur l’Écriture. Mais certains passages sont paradoxaux ; ils disent des choses différentes sur le même sujet. En de telles occasions, les personnes qui placent Jésus en premier se tournent vers Jésus pour comprendre ce que la norme biblique signifie et pour appliquer l’Écriture à leur vie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Après cette exhibition plutôt alambiquée et triste d’une théologie bâclée, l’éditeur conclut :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ainsi, les dirigeants de la SBC — qui ont brandi « l’inerrance biblique » comme un cri de guerre pour prendre et mettre en œuvre le contrôle de la convention au cours des 20 dernières années — ont, après tout, une haute conception de l’Écriture. En fait, elle est plus élevée que nous le pensions. Plutôt qu’une Trinité, ils adorent un Quatuor de facto : le Père, le Fils, le Saint-Esprit et la Sainte Bible, la Bible agissant comme l’arbitre des trois autres.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cela est dangereux, pour plusieurs raisons.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Premièrement, cela réfute l’orthodoxie — qui affirme la primauté de la Divinité : le Père, le Fils et le Saint-Esprit — en élevant la Bible à une quasi-divinité et en supplantant l’influence de Jésus.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Deuxièmement, en élevant une chose aussi précieuse et autoritaire que la Bible à un statut aussi élevé, cela implique au moins l’idolâtrie, le culte de quelque chose d’autre que Dieu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Troisièmement, cela dévalorise l’influence de Jésus et le pouvoir du Saint-Esprit d’agir dans les vies et de les guider vers la volonté de Dieu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Quatrièmement, cela pose une question vitale : qui alors doit fournir l’interprétation autorisée de toute l’Écriture ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Si l’Écriture se place au-dessus de Jésus, alors les enseignements et les actions de Jésus sont insuffisants.3\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Un pasteur local de Louisville ajouta : « Toute l’Écriture n’atteint pas le niveau complet du Christ. » Plus tard, le « BGCT Seminary Study Committee Report » déclara que la&nbsp;\u003Cem>Baptist Faith &amp; Message 2000\u003C\u002Fem>rendant la Bible « égale à Dieu ». Même le magazine occasionnellement évangélique \u003Cem>Christianity Today\u003C\u002Fem> a fait écho, affirmant que la déclaration de 2000 « est plus pauvre sans le riche langage christocentrique de la déclaration antérieure ».4 Curieusement, ni cet éditeur ni aucun autre détracteur n’a noté que « Jésus comme critère » n’apparaît pas dans la déclaration de 1925 ni dans aucune autre confession baptiste ! Comme l’a souligné R. Albert Mohler, Jr.,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La déclaration [que Jésus est le critère] n’a pas simplement été supprimée. Elle a été remplacée par une phrase bien plus conforme aux confessions de foi historiques. La nouvelle phrase affirme que « Toute l’Écriture rend témoignage à Christ, qui est Lui-même le sommet de la révélation divine ». Le langage de la déclaration de 1963 ne se trouve dans aucune confession de foi historique, ni dans le \u003Cem>Baptist Faith and Message\u003C\u002Fem> de 1925 adopté par la SBC…. La révision de 2000 est encore plus centrée sur le Christ que la déclaration de 1963, et son herméneutique christologique est plus forte, non plus faible. Conformément à la théologie évangélique et baptiste historique, nous comprenons que chaque passage de la Bible, dans l’Ancien ou le Nouveau Testament, rend témoignage à Christ. Chaque parole est vraie, chaque parole s’accomplit en Christ, et Christ a affirmé chaque parole de l’Écriture comme pleinement autoritative.5\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Que devons-nous conclure de ce qui précède ? Avons-nous « rétrogradé Jésus » et élevé indûment la Bible à un statut « égal à Dieu » ? Bien que de nombreuses pistes puissent être utilement explorées, je souhaite examiner une seule question, peut-être la plus importante. Je veux tenter de répondre à la question : « Que croyait Jésus au sujet de la Bible ? Quelle était la vision du Sauveur sur l’Écriture ? » Après tout, comme le dit justement le premier Clark Pinnock, « Un engagement sans réserve envers Jésus nous oblige à regarder la Bible à travers ses yeux ».6 Nous ferons comparaître plusieurs déclarations de notre Seigneur, mais je veux accorder une attention particulière à Matthieu 5:17-18. Un examen attentif de ce texte révèle deux vérités fondamentales concernant la vision que Jésus avait de la Bible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jésus croyait que toutes les Écritures pointent vers Lui (5:17)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dans le plus grand sermon jamais prêché, le Sermon sur la montagne, Jésus s’exprime sur le thème du royaume de Dieu (Matt 5:17-20). Ces versets servent d’introduction aux « six grandes antithèses » de 5:21-48. Ils expliquent également comment nous pouvons vivre les béatitudes de 5:3-12 et être le sel de la terre et la lumière du monde (5:13-16). Matthieu 5:17 nous introduit à la haute conception de l’Écriture que Jésus avait. Ce qui est dit ici concerne clairement les Écritures de l’Ancien Testament. Néanmoins, ce qu’Il a \u003Cem>affirmé\u003C\u002Fem> au sujet de l’Ancien Testament, Il l’a aussi \u003Cem>promis\u003C\u002Fem> concernant le Nouveau Testament. Dans Jean 16:12-15, Jésus dit :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>J’ai encore beaucoup de choses à vous dire, mais vous ne pouvez pas les porter maintenant. Quand le Saint-Esprit de vérité sera venu, il vous conduira dans toute la vérité ; car il ne parlera pas de lui-même, mais tout ce qu’il entendra, il le dira ; et il vous annoncera les choses à venir. Il me glorifiera, car il prendra de ce qui est à moi et vous l’annoncera. Tout ce que le Père a est à moi. C’est pourquoi j’ai dit qu’il prendra de ce qui est à moi et vous l’annoncera.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Premièrement, Jésus a introduit des enseignements nouveaux et frappants. En effet, comme le dit Jean 7:46, « Jamais homme n’a parlé comme cet homme ». Certains ont pu conclure que son enseignement constituait une rupture décisive avec les Écritures de l’Ancien Testament. C’est certainement le jugement de certains baptistes aujourd’hui. « Il n’en est rien », dit Jésus. « Ne pensez pas (ou ne considérez pas) que je suis venu pour détruire (annuler, abroger, désintégrer, démolir) la loi. » J. A. Alexander note que l’idée est celle de « la destruction d’un tout par la séparation complète de ses parties, comme lorsqu’une maison est démolie en étant démontée ».7 Jésus dit qu’il n’est pas venu pour déchirer ou démanteler la loi et les prophètes (une référence aux Écritures de l’Ancien Testament de son époque). Il n’est pas venu pour \u003Cem>détruire\u003C\u002Fem> (répété pour insister), mais pour accomplir. Notez que l’antithèse n’est pas entre « abolir » et « garder », mais entre « abolir » et « accomplir ».\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Deuxièmement, Jésus fournit non seulement un déni emphatique, mais aussi une déclaration positive concernant le but de sa venue—il est venu pour accomplir, compléter les Écritures. Les mettre de côté n’a jamais été son programme. Les amener à leur accomplissement et à leur fruition était la raison de sa venue. Don Carson a raison lorsqu’il dit :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jésus accomplit tout l’Ancien Testament de nombreuses manières. Parce qu’elles pointent vers lui, il n’est certainement pas venu pour les abolir. Au contraire, il est venu pour les accomplir de diverses manières riches.… Jésus ne conçoit pas sa vie et son ministère en termes d’\u003Cem>opposition\u003C\u002Fem> à l’Ancien Testament, mais en termes d’\u003Cem>amener à fruition\u003C\u002Fem> ce vers quoi il pointe.\u003Cem>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>Ainsi la loi et les prophètes, loin d’être abolis, trouvent leur continuité valide dans leur accomplissement en Jésus. Les prescriptions détaillées de l’Ancien Testament peuvent bien être supplantées, car tout ce qui est prophétique doit être en quelque sorte provisoire. \u003Cem>Mais tout ce qui est prophétique découvre également sa continuité légitime dans l’heureuse arrivée de ce vers quoi il a pointé\u003C\u002Fem>.8\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Que notre Seigneur aurait affirmé que « Toute l’Écriture rend témoignage à Christ, qui est Lui-même le point focal de la révélation divine » (qui conclut la déclaration sur l’Écriture du \u003Cem>Baptist Faith &amp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cem>Message 2000\u003C\u002Fem>) ne peut guère être mis en doute :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jean 5:39—« Vous sondez les Écritures, parce que vous pensez avoir en elles la vie éternelle, et ce sont elles qui rendent témoignage de moi. »\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>Luke 24:25-27—“Alors Il leur dit : ‘Ô hommes sans intelligence, et lents de cœur à croire tout ce que les prophètes ont dit ! Ne fallait-il pas que le Christ souffrît ces choses, et qu’il entrât dans sa gloire ?’ Et, commençant par Moïse et par tous les prophètes, il leur expliqua dans toutes les Écritures ce qui le concernait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Luc 24:44-45—“Puis il leur dit : ‘C’est là ce que je vous disais lorsque j’étais encore avec vous, qu’il fallait que s’accomplît tout ce qui est écrit de moi dans la loi de Moïse, dans les prophètes, et dans les psaumes.’ Alors il leur ouvrit l’intelligence, afin qu’ils comprissent les Écritures.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cette vérité que Jésus-Christ est le thème de toute la Bible est bien exprimée dans le poème anonyme, « Je trouve mon Seigneur dans le Livre » :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Je trouve mon Seigneur dans la Bible partout où je regarde, Il est le thème de la Bible, le centre et le cœur du Livre ;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il est le Roseau de Saron, Il est le Lys pur, Partout où j’ouvre ma Bible, le Seigneur du Livre est là.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lui, au commencement du Livre, donna à la terre sa forme, Il est l’Arche de refuge portant le poids de la tempête,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le Buisson ardent du désert, le bourgeonnement de la verge d’Aaron,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Partout où je regarde dans la Bible, je vois le Fils de Dieu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le bélier sur le mont Morija, l’échelle de la terre au ciel,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le cordon écarlate à la fenêtre, et le serpent élevé en haut,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le rocher frappé dans le désert, le Berger avec sa houlette et son bâton, Le visage de mon Seigneur je le découvre partout où j’ouvre le Livre.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il est la postérité de la femme, le Sauveur né d’une vierge ; Il est le Fils de David, que les hommes ont rejeté avec mépris,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ses vêtements de grâce et de beauté revêtent le noble Aaron,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il est sacrificateur pour toujours, car il est Melchisédek.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seigneur de la gloire éternelle que Jean, l’apôtre, a vu ; Lumière de la cité d’or, Agneau sans tache ni défaut,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Époux venant à minuit, que les vierges attendent.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Partout où j’ouvre ma Bible, je trouve mon Seigneur dans le Livre.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jésus croyait que toutes les Écritures étaient parfaites dans les moindres détails (5:18)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le verset 17 affirme une compréhension de la vue que Jésus avait des Écritures comme accomplissement de promesses, et non un paradigme de promesses abolies, tandis que le verset 18 fournit la raison christologique et théologique. Jésus introduit le verset 18 avec une note d’autorité personnelle qui transcendait l’autorité de tous les autres rabbins. Le mot \u003Cem>amen\u003C\u002Fem> traduit diversement par « assurément », « en vérité » ou « je vous le dis en vérité » nous avertit que les paroles qui vont suivre sont d’une importance et d’une autorité suprêmes. L’expression « jusqu’à ce que le ciel et la terre passent » signifie jusqu’à la fin de l’âge, tant que l’ordre actuel du monde persiste. Un iota (\u003Cem>iôta\u003C\u002Fem>) fait référence au \u003Cem>yod\u003C\u002Fem>, la plus petite lettre de l’alphabet hébreu, semblable en forme à notre apostrophe. Un point (\u003Cem>keraia\u003C\u002Fem>) est la plus petite projection ou partie d’une lettre hébraïque, semblable à celle qui distingue notre « F » d’un « L » inversé. L’expression « ne passera point » (\u003Cem>ou me\u003C\u002Fem>) est une double négation utilisée pour souligner que la loi de Dieu ne passera pas jusqu’à ce que tout soit accompli. Dans le parallèle lucanien, nous lisons : « Il est plus facile que le ciel et la terre passent, qu’il ne tombe un seul point de la loi » (Luc 16:17).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jésus affirme la fiabilité et la véracité des Écritures dans les termes les plus forts possibles. Il ne dit pas que l’Ancien Testament contient quelque vérité ou qu’il devient vérité lorsque des hommes et des femmes ont une rencontre significative avec lui. Comme il l’affirme dans Jean 10:35, « l’Écriture ne peut être anéantie ». Comme il le proclame dans sa prière au Père en Jean 17:17, « Ta parole est la vérité ». L’éminent érudit H. C. G. Moule le dit bien : « [Jésus] faisait absolument confiance à la Bible ; et bien qu’il y ait en elle des choses inexplicables et complexes qui m’ont tant troublé, je vais, non pas d’une manière aveugle, mais avec révérence, faire confiance au Livre à cause de Lui. »9\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Je ne suis pas un partisan de la théologie libérale\u002Fantisurnaturelle ou de la critique biblique destructrice. Je ne suis pas impressionné par sa vision du monde, ses préjugés et ses méthodologies biaisées. Néanmoins, nous pouvons apprendre de ceux avec qui nous sommes en désaccord, et parfois un souffle d’air frais et d’honnêteté savante nous parvient de ce camp. En ce qui concerne ce que Jésus et l’Église croyaient au sujet de la Bible, certains de nos frères et sœurs baptistes modérés feraient bien d’écouter certains de leurs héros :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Rudolf Bultmann — « Jésus était toujours d’accord avec les scribes de son temps pour accepter sans question \u003Cem>l’autorité de la loi (de l’Ancien Testament)\u003C\u002Fem> … \u003Cem>l’idée que Jésus avait attaqué l’autorité de la loi était totalement inconnue de la communauté chrétienne.\u003C\u002Fem> »10\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Emil Brunner — « La doctrine de l’inspiration verbale était déjà connue du judaïsme préchrétien et a probablement été reprise par Paul et le reste des apôtres. »11\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kirsopp Lake — « C’est une erreur souvent commise par des personnes instruites qui se trouvent avoir peu de connaissances en théologie historique de supposer que le fondamentalisme est une forme de pensée nouvelle et étrange. Il n’en est rien ; c’est la survivance partielle et non instruite d’une théologie qui était autrefois universellement tenue par tous les chrétiens. Combien y en avait-il, par exemple, dans les églises chrétiennes au XVIIIe siècle qui doutaient de l’inspiration infaillible de l’Écriture ? Quelques-uns peut-être, mais très peu. Non, le fondamentaliste peut avoir tort ; je pense qu’il l’a. Mais c’est nous qui nous sommes éloignés de la tradition, pas lui ; et je suis désolé pour quiconque essaie d’argumenter avec un fondamentaliste sur la base de l’autorité.

J. Cadbury, professeur à Harvard et l’un des critiques les plus extrêmes du Nouveau Testament de la dernière génération, a déclaré un jour qu’il était bien plus sûr, en tant que simple fait historique, que Jésus adhérait à la conception juive commune d’une Bible infaillible, que Jésus croyait en sa propre messianité. Adolf Harnack, le plus grand historien de l’Église des temps modernes, insiste sur le fait que le Christ était un avec ses apôtres, les Juifs et toute l’Église primitive dans un engagement total envers l’autorité infaillible de la Bible. John Knox, auteur de ce qui est peut-être la vie du Christ la plus estimée récemment, affirme qu’il ne fait aucun doute que cette conception de la Bible a été enseignée par notre Seigneur lui-même. Le critique libéral F. C. Grant conclut que dans le Nouveau Testament, « il est partout tenu pour acquis que l’Écriture est digne de confiance, infaillible et exempte d’erreur ». »\u003Csup>13\u003C\u002Fsup>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Quand nous examinons l’enseignement de notre Seigneur dans les Évangiles, nous découvrons que les jugements de ces savants sont confirmés. Jésus traitait systématiquement les récits historiques de l’Ancien Testament comme des registres directs de faits. Il a fait référence à Abel (Luc 11:51), Noé (Matt 24:37-39), Abraham (Jean 8:56), Sodome et Gomorrhe (Matt 10:15, 11:23-24), Lot (Luc 17:28-32), Isaac et Jacob (Matt 8:11), la manne (Jean 6:31), le serpent du désert (Jean 3:14), David (Matt 22:43), Salomon (Matt 6:29, 12:42), Élie (Luc 4:25-26), Élisée (Luc 4:27), Jonas (Matt 12:39-41) et Moïse (Matt 8:4), entre autres. Nulle part n’y a-t-il la moindre indication qu’il ait remis en question l’historicité ou l’exactitude des récits.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il est intéressant de noter que Jésus a souvent choisi comme base de son enseignement précisément ces histoires que beaucoup de sceptiques modernes jugent inacceptables (par ex. Adam et Ève, le déluge de Noé, Sodome et Gomorrhe, et Jonas). Pour Jésus, l’Écriture était le tribunal suprême dans ses disputes avec les pharisiens et les sadducéens. Dans son combat contre Satan dans le désert, Jésus a cité des déclarations scripturaires comme des arguments contre lesquels aucun autre argument n’était possible (Matt 4:1-11). Jésus pouvait écarter ou rejeter l’interprétation rabbinique ou pharisaïque de l’Ancien Testament (cf. Matt 5:21-48), mais il n’a jamais remis en question son autorité ou sa véracité.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le premier Pinnock l’a clairement vu lorsqu’il a écrit,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La doctrine de l’inspiration de Jésus s’exprime dans le Sermon sur la montagne. Avant d’exposer ses instructions éthiques, Jésus a expliqué son intention. « Ne pensez pas que je sois venu abolir la loi et les prophètes ; je ne suis pas venu pour les abolir, mais pour les accomplir » (Mt 5:17). Manifestement, il ne veut pas que nous pensions que le but de son enseignement est de violer ou même de dévaloriser la révélation de l’Ancien Testament. La parole qui se trouve aussi dans Luc (16:17) a un son entièrement authentique. Les ennemis de Jésus étaient impatients de lui coller une étiquette « antinomienne » s’ils le pouvaient. C’est pourquoi Jésus a précisé que l’objet de ses critiques n’était pas la Bible, mais les traditions que les rabbins avaient érigées comme une clôture autour d’elle, traditions qui, en pratique, jouissaient d’une autorité effectivement supérieure à la Parole écrite. Il nous assure que sa confiance dans le caractère divin de l’Écriture ne s’arrête même pas à ses plus petits éléments. « Pas un iota, pas un point, ne passera » (Mt 5:18). Il lance un avertissement sévère : « Celui donc qui violera l’un de ces plus petits commandements et qui enseignera aux hommes à faire de même sera appelé le plus petit dans le royaume des cieux ; mais celui qui les mettra en pratique et les enseignera sera appelé grand dans le royaume des cieux » (v. 19).\u003Csup>14\u003C\u002Fsup>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le savant libéral James Barr a tort lorsqu’il écrit,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jésus a pris l’Écriture juive telle qu’elle était, comme ses contemporains, et il l’a utilisée comme eux à cet égard, comme une source par laquelle des indications autorisées de la vérité divine avaient été données. Ainsi, si Jésus se réfère à un passage de l’Exode ou du Deutéronome avec les mots « Moïse a dit », il est tout à fait erroné de lire cela comme s’il plaçait sa propre autorité messianique et divine pleine derrière l’affirmation que ces livres avaient été réellement écrits par le Moïse historique. Aucune question de ce genre ne lui est venue à l’esprit et rien dans les Évangiles ne suggère que son enseignement était destiné à y faire face. Les questions historiques l’intéressaient peu.\u003Csup>15\u003C\u002Fsup>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jésus a dit : « Pas un iota ou un point.…»\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>L’ancien professeur du Southern, Alan Culpepper, s’est trompé lorsqu’il a dit,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jésus a remarquablement peu dit sur la nature de l’Écriture … [et que] Jésus exige [dans le Sermon sur la montagne] un standard de justice plus élevé que celui fixé par les Écritures hébraïques et les traditions des pharisiens.\u003Csup>16\u003C\u002Fsup>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les traditions des pharisiens oui, les Écritures hébraïques non.

Peu de gens déplorent sa désintégration théologique plus que moi. Plus tôt dans sa vie, il a articulé l’essentiel de la question concernant la relation entre Jésus et la Bible avec une clarté cristalline :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Devons-nous suivre Jésus dans sa vision des Écritures ? À la lumière de ces preuves, la question appelle une autre. Comment un chrétien peut-il même envisager de \u003Cem>ne pas\u003C\u002Fem> le faire ? La vision de notre Seigneur sur l’inspiration n’était pas un principe accessoire à la périphérie de sa théologie. Sa croyance en la véracité de l’Ancien Testament était le roc sur lequel il fondait son propre sens de la vocation et la validité d’une grande partie de ses enseignements. La question de l’inspiration des Écritures se résume en réalité à la question de la christologie. Il est impossible d’affirmer son autorité tout en cherchant à échapper à ses enseignements concernant l’autorité divine de la Bible. Si la prétention du Christ à être le Fils de Dieu est vraie, sa personne garantit la vérité de tous ses autres enseignements également. Tant que Jésus-Christ est confessé, honoré et adoré, nous pouvons nous attendre avec confiance à ce qu’une haute vision des Écritures persiste dans l’Église. Et à la lumière d’une défection considérable de cette vision parmi les chrétiens déclarés aujourd’hui, nous faisons un appel audacieux à un retour à une vision appropriée de la Bible sur la base du fait massif de la doctrine de l’inspiration de notre Seigneur.19\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>À mes débuts à Southern, j’ai déjeuné avec un ancien professeur. Bien que nous ayons eu des théologies significativement différentes, il a toujours été gracieux et m’a soutenu, et j’ai apprécié ce moment de communion avec lui. Alors que nous nous asseyions pour manger, il m’a regardé et a dit : « Je veux te poser une question et je ne veux pas t’offenser. » J’ai répondu qu’il pouvait me poser n’importe quelle question, et sa question fut celle-ci : « Comment es-tu devenu théologiquement ce que tu es ? Je veux dire, pourquoi penses-tu théologiquement comme tu le fais ? » Je lui ai dit que je n’étais pas du tout offensé par la question, mais que je ne pensais pas que ma réponse serait très satisfaisante. J’ai partagé qu’étant petit garçon, vers l’âge de huit ans, j’avais fait confiance à Jésus-Christ comme mon Seigneur et Sauveur. En grandissant dans la foi, j’en suis venu à comprendre que pour être chrétien, il fallait vivre sous la Seigneurie de Jésus-Christ et que Sa Seigneurie devait imprégner tous les domaines de notre vie. Sa Seigneurie incluait ce que je devais penser de toutes les questions de théologie, y compris la Bible. Je lui ai dit qu’en étudiant la vision de Jésus sur la Bible, j’en étais venu à la conclusion que je ne pouvais rien faire d’autre que de tenir à sa vérité et fiabilité complètes. Être autre chose que cela reviendrait à mettre de côté la Seigneurie de Jésus-Christ. Ce professeur a simplement répondu en disant : « Je n’y ai jamais pensé de cette façon auparavant, mais cela a beaucoup de sens. »\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>L. R.

Il y avait des moments où il semblait avoir quarante pieds de haut. Et il m’a regardé en face et a dit : « Mon garçon, sur cette colline, l’orthodoxie, l’ancienne vérité fait l’un de ses derniers combats et je veux te transmettre une charge et je le fais dans le sang de Jésus-Christ. » Il a dit : « Tu seras élu président de ce séminaire.

R.

A. Alexander는 그 개념이 “집을 해체하여 완전히 분리함으로써 전체를 파괴하는 것”이라고 지적한다.7 예수님은 자신이 율법과 선지자(당시의 구약 성경을 가리킴)를 찢거나 해체하기 위해 오신 것이 아니라고 말씀하신다. 그분은 \u003Cem>폐하러\u003C\u002Fem> 오신 것이 아니라 성취하러 오셨다(강조를 위해 반복). 대조는 “폐하다”와 “지키다” 사이가 아니라 “폐하다”와 “성취하다” 사이에 있음을 주목하라.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>둘째, 예수님은 단호한 부정뿐만 아니라 자신의 오심의 목적에 대한 긍정적인 선언도 하신다—그분은 성경을 성취하고 완성하기 위해 오셨다. 그것들을 제쳐 두는 것은 결코 그분의 의제가 아니었다. 그것들을 성취와 결실로 이끄는 것이 그분이 오신 이유였다. Don Carson이 옳게 말했듯이,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>예수님은 여러 가지 방식으로 구약 전체를 성취하신다. 그것들이 그분을 가리키기 때문에, 그분은 분명히 그것들을 폐하러 오신 것이 아니다. 오히려 그분은 그것들을 풍부하고 다양한 방식으로 성취하러 오셨다.… 예수님은 자신의 생애와 사역을 구약에 대한 \u003Cem>반대\u003C\u002Fem>로 생각하지 않으시고, 그것이 가리키는 바를 \u003Cem>열매 맺게 하는 것\u003C\u002Fem>으로 생각하신다.\u003Cem>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>따라서 율법과 선지자는 폐해지는 것이 아니라, 예수님 안에서의 그들의 유효한 연속성으로 발견된다. 구약의 세부 규정은 예언적인 것이 어떤 의미에서 잠정적이기 때문에 대체될 수 있다.\u003Cem>그러나 예언적인 것은 그것이 가리키는 바의 행복한 도래에서 정당한 연속성을 발견한다\u003C\u002Fem>.8\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>우리 주님께서 “모든 성경은 그리스도를 증언하며, 그리스도께서 친히 신적 계시의 초점”이라고 확언하셨을 것이라는 점(\u003Cem>침례교 신앙과 메시지 2000\u003C\u002Fem> 성경에 관한 성명서의 결론)은 의심의 여지가 거의 없다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>요한복음 5:39—“너희가 성경에서 영생을 얻는 줄 생각하고 성경을 연구하거니와 이 성경이 곧 내게 대하여 증언하는 것이니라.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>누가복음 24:25-27—“그들에게 이르시되, ‘미련하고 선지자들이 말한 모든 것을 마음에 더디 믿는 자들이여! 그리스도가 이런 고난을 받고 자기의 영광에 들어가야 할 것이 아니냐?’ 하시고, 모세와 모든 선지자의 글에서 시작하여 모든 성경에 쓴 자기의 일에 관하여 자세히 설명하시니라.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>누가복음 24:44-45—“또 이르시되, ‘내가 너희와 함께 있을 때에 너희에게 말한 바 곧 모세의 율법과 선지자의 글과 시편에 나를 가리켜 기록된 모든 것이 이루어져야 하리라 한 말이 이것이라.’ 하시고, 이에 그들의 마음을 열어 성경을 깨닫게 하시며.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>예수 그리스도가 성경 전체의 주제라는 이 진리는 익명의 시 “나는 성경에서 내 주님을 발견한다”에 잘 담겨 있다:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>나는 성경을 펼칠 때마다 내 주님을 발견하네, 그분은 성경의 주제요, 책의 중심과 심장이시라;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>그분은 샤론의 장미, 아름다운 백합이시며, 내가 성경을 열 때마다 책의 주님이 거기 계시네.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>그분은 책의 시작에서 땅에 형체를 주셨고, 폭풍의 충격을 견디는 피난처의 방주이시라,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>광야의 불타는 떨기나무, 아론의 지팡이에서 싹이 난 것이시며,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>내가 성경을 볼 때마다 하나님의 아들을 보게 되네.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>모리아 산의 숫양, 땅에서 하늘로 이어진 사다리,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>창문에 매단 붉은 줄, 높이 들린 뱀,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>광야에서 맞은 반석, 지팡이와 막대기를 든 목자, 내가 책을 열 때마다 내 주님의 얼굴을 발견하네.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>그분은 여인의 씨, 동정녀에게서 나신 구주시라; 다윗의 자손이시며, 사람들이 멸시한 분이시라,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>은혜와 아름다움의 옷을 입은 그분을 위엄 있는 아론이 입었고,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>그분은 영원한 제사장이시니, 곧 멜기세덱이시라.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>요한 사도가 본 영원한 영광의 주님; 황금 성의 빛, 흠 없는 어린양,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>한밤중에 오실 신랑, 처녀들이 기다리는 분.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>내가 성경을 열 때마다, 책 속에서 내 주님을 발견하네.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>예수님은 모든 성경이 모든 세부 사항에서 완전하다고 믿으셨다 (5:18)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>17절은 예수님의 성경관이 약속-성취의 이해임을 확인하며, 폐지-파괴의 패러다임이 아님을 보여주고, 18절은 그리스도론적·신학적 근거를 제시한다. 예수님은 18절을 다른 모든 랍비의 권위를 초월하는 개인적 권위로 시작하신다. “진실로”로 번역되는 \u003Cem>아멘\u003C\u002Fem>이라는 단어는 뒤에 나올 말씀들이 최고의 중요성과 권위를 지닌다는 것을 알려준다. “천지가 없어지기 전에는”이라는 구절은 현 세상이 지속되는 한, 시대의 끝까지를 의미한다. 한 획(\u003Cem>이오타\u003C\u002Fem>)은 히브리 알파벳에서 가장 작은 글자인 \u003Cem>욛\u003C\u002Fem>을 가리키며, 우리의 아포스트로피와 비슷한 모양이다. 한 점(\u003Cem>케라이아\u003C\u002Fem>)은 히브리 글자의 가장 작은 돌출부나 부분으로, 우리의 “F”와 거꾸로 된 “L”을 구분하는 것과 유사하다. “결코 … 아니할 것이라”(\u003Cem>ou me\u003C\u002Fem>)는 이중 부정으로, 하나님의 율법이 모두 이루어지기 전에는 결코 없어지지 않을 것임을 강조한다. 누가복음 병행 구절에서는 “하늘과 땅이 없어지는 것보다 율법의 한 획이 떨어지는 것이 더 쉬우리라”고 기록되어 있다(누가복음 16:17).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>예수님은 가능한 한 가장 강력한 언어로 성경의 신뢰성과 진실성을 확증하신다. 그분은 구약이 일부 진리를 담고 있다고 말씀하시거나, 사람들이 그것과 의미 있는 만남을 가질 때 비로소 진리가 된다고 말씀하시지 않는다. 요한복음 10:35에서 확증하신 대로, “성경은 폐하지 못한다.” 아버지께 드린 기도에서 요한복음 17:17에 선포하신 대로, “주의 말씀은 진리니이다.” 뛰어난 학자 H.

This oral message [eventually] took on a written form.&nbsp;Its essential message appears in the four gospels.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I. The Four Gospels\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The three synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) were penned before AD&nbsp;70.&nbsp;Matthew, one of the 12 disciples, recorded his first-hand account.&nbsp;Mark recorded the Apostle Peter's recollections.&nbsp;Luke, missionary companion of the Apostle Paul, consulted many eye-witnesses.&nbsp;John, also an eyewitness of Christ, penned his gospel toward the end of the 1st&nbsp;century.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>II. The NT Epistles\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Many New Testament Epistles were written before these gospel accounts.&nbsp;James, the Brother of Jesus, penned his book around AD 45, just over a decade after Christ’s death.&nbsp;Paul wrote his epistle to the Galatians around AD 47 to 48. These early epistles all clearly refer to Jesus as Lord, a reference to his deity.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So&nbsp;we see that the New Testament epistles were written by the apostles during a period in history where the eye-witnesses were still alive, therefore they were personally able to validate the writings of the New Testament and prevented any myth from developing in the accounts.&nbsp;So what are the earliest manuscripts of the New Testament and how many do we have?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>III. Earliest Manuscripts of the New Testament\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Early papyrus copies rapidly circulated throughout the Roman Empire. Scholars have discovered about 120 of these early manuscripts. Some even have large portions of the New Testament while others contain a single book or page. They date from about AD 100&nbsp;to about AD 700.&nbsp;For example, the Apostle John wrote the fourth gospel at the end of the 1st century. A small papyrus fragment with a small portion of the gospel of John copied onto it was found in Egypt dating to the early 2nd century.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This shows how quickly&nbsp;these gospels traveled.&nbsp;In 30 years, people had copied and transported this gospel far from its origin&nbsp;in Ephesus.&nbsp;Hundreds of copies were made.&nbsp;It would have been impossible for anyone to collect and&nbsp;change them all.&nbsp;This is why we can be assured that we have what was originally written by the apostles themselves.&nbsp;How reliable is the recorded information of the New Testament authors?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>IV. Reliability of the New Testament Authors\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Eye-Witnesses:&nbsp;Many of the men who wrote the New Testament actually&nbsp;witnessed the events they recorded.&nbsp;The Apostle Peter said, ‘We were eye-witnesses&nbsp;of his majesty.” The Apostle John says, “We have&nbsp;seen with our eyes, have&nbsp;looked upon, and our hands have handled,\" referring to Jesus. John also says, “And the Word Jesus Christ became flesh and dwelt&nbsp;among us, and we beheld his glory.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Some skeptics claim that none of the New Testament gospel writers met&nbsp;Jesus.&nbsp;The gospel of John bears all the marks of a true eye-witness account.&nbsp;It was clearly written by a Palestinian Jew, of the 1st century who&nbsp;was familiar with Jewish customs, religion, and geography.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One critic, Sir William Ramsey investigated Luke’s gospel and the Book of Acts.&nbsp;Ramsey was surprised to find the books to be historically accurate with great precision and concluded that the&nbsp;works were completely authentic.&nbsp;As a result, he trusted Christ&nbsp;and become a great&nbsp;defender of the faith.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Our next question: “Why [were] the 27 books of the New Testament were accepted, while others were not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>V. The New Testament Canon: A Brief History\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Inclusion in the Canon:&nbsp;A book was included in the New Testament, if:&nbsp;An Apostle, or a close companion of an apostle, wrote it. The books were written in the 1st&nbsp;century.&nbsp;The books would not contradict themselves or the Old Testament&nbsp;scriptures.&nbsp;They would be widely accepted by the early church.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Recognition of the Canon:&nbsp;The first person known to us to establish a complete list of New Testament&nbsp;books was Marcion around AD 140. History remembers Marcion merely because he established a shortened cannon list, including the gospel of Luke and the letters of Paul.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>By AD 180 the gospel canon was complete.&nbsp;The 2nd century Muratorian canon is a list of books regarded as authoritative&nbsp;in the early church at that time. It lists the four gospels, Acts, all 13 of Paul’s&nbsp;letters, plus the letters of John, Jude, and Revelation.&nbsp;By the end of the 2nd, other books (such as 1 Peter and 1 John) have&nbsp;also gained wide-acceptance. The Eastern church had also adopted Hebrews&nbsp;and the West accepted Revelation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Some people claim that Constantine exerted a great influence on the&nbsp;books chosen for the New Testament and even their content.&nbsp;Nowhere is there any indication that Constantine tried to influence the&nbsp;selection or contents of the books of scripture.&nbsp;It would have been impossible for him to change the contents of&nbsp;individual books because they had circulated among the churches&nbsp;for over 200 years.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The first person to publish a list of New Testament books exactly as it is&nbsp;today was Athenasius, Bishop of Alexandria, in his Easter letter in AD 367.&nbsp;Since then, few have questioned the contents of the canon, at least until recent times.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>VI. Transmission of the New Testament Over the Centuries\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Some critics claim that all we have today in our manuscripts and translations are the accumulated errors of centuries of copying the text&nbsp;with little or nothing resembling the original manuscripts from the 1st century. In the earliest period of copying, there were some still living (e.g. Papias and Polycarp) who personally knew&nbsp;the authors of the New Testament. There also remained some who were eye-witnesses of those recorded events.&nbsp;Those witnesses would have quickly pointed out any errors introduced by later copyists.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What Happened to the Original Manuscripts?&nbsp;The NT writings were completed during the 1st century AD.&nbsp;However, their original fragile papyrus documents disappeared within years&nbsp;after they were written generally due to wear and tear.&nbsp;Yet the test of those original documents remained in existence, preserving copies and maintained through many subsequent generations that spanned the centuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Are the Copied Manuscripts Reliable?&nbsp;The New Testament has been copied thousand of times, which&nbsp;naturally leads to copyists errors, arising in some of the manuscripts.&nbsp;Fortunately, if the great number of New Testament manuscripts&nbsp;increases the number of scribal errors.&nbsp;It also increases proportionately the means of correcting the errors.&nbsp;The vast number of manuscripts ensures the spotting of&nbsp;scribal errors&nbsp;and also the ability to confidently preserve the exact wording&nbsp;of the originals by comparing the numerous copies of manuscripts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Stable Transmission of the New Testament:&nbsp;Copies were not made at a single location.&nbsp;They [were not] deliberately conformed to a single master copy imposed by&nbsp;church authority.&nbsp;So the independence of the scribes at different locations created multiple lines&nbsp;of text transmission.&nbsp;When these independent lines agree on their text, their testimony is of the highest value. Through this process the common text accurately preserves the original writings of the apostles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Vast Number of New Testament Manuscripts:&nbsp;To all this should be added the vast number&nbsp;of manuscript copies&nbsp;available.&nbsp;Between the 1st century and the 16th, there exist over 24 thousand&nbsp;manuscripts when you include Greek, Latin, Syriac, Coptic, and other ancient languages. In the Greek language alone, there are over 5400 manuscripts.&nbsp;This evidence serves as overwhelming confirmation of the integrity of the New Testament texts being preserved. There’s no other document in all of antiquity that even comes close to what we have in the Bible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>VII.

Ya sea que tratemos con escritores romanos como Tácito o escritores judíos como Josefo o los propios escritores del Nuevo Testamento, ninguno de estos escritores intenta darnos una evaluación ‘objetiva’ de los datos, si por ‘objetivo’ se entiende libre de valores o puramente neutral. Por lo tanto, todos los datos antiguos relevantes deben ser examinados y evaluados críticamente . . . siempre debemos ‘considerar la fuente’ de la información al evaluar su interpretación de los datos.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Historia del Nuevo Testamento: Un Relato Narrativo, Ben Witherington III\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El Nuevo Testamento registra el nacimiento virginal, los milagros, las enseñanzas, la muerte y la resurrección de Jesucristo, pero muchos son escépticos de las afirmaciones del Nuevo Testamento acerca de Cristo. Entonces, ¿cómo podemos saber si las afirmaciones del Nuevo Testamento son verdaderas? Primero debemos explorar el origen del Nuevo Testamento. Los discípulos de Jesús proclamaron primero la muerte, el entierro y la resurrección de Cristo justo después de su resurrección y ascensión de regreso al Cielo. Este mensaje oral [eventualmente] adoptó una forma escrita. Su mensaje esencial aparece en los cuatro evangelios.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I. Los Cuatro Evangelios\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Los tres evangelios sinópticos (Mateo, Marcos y Lucas) fueron escritos antes del año 70 d.C. Mateo, uno de los 12 discípulos, registró su relato de primera mano. Marcos registró los recuerdos del apóstol Pedro. Lucas, compañero misionero del apóstol Pablo, consultó a muchos testigos oculares. Juan, también testigo ocular de Cristo, escribió su evangelio hacia el final del siglo I.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>II. Las Epístolas del NT\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Muchas epístolas del Nuevo Testamento fueron escritas antes de estos relatos evangélicos. Santiago, el hermano de Jesús, escribió su libro alrededor del año 45 d.C., apenas una década después de la muerte de Cristo. Pablo escribió su epístola a los Gálatas alrededor del año 47 a 48 d.C. Estas primeras epístolas se refieren claramente a Jesús como Señor, una referencia a su deidad.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Así vemos que las epístolas del Nuevo Testamento fueron escritas por los apóstoles durante un período de la historia en el que los testigos oculares aún estaban vivos, por lo que pudieron validar personalmente los escritos del Nuevo Testamento e impidieron que se desarrollara cualquier mito en los relatos. Entonces, ¿cuáles son los manuscritos más antiguos del Nuevo Testamento y cuántos tenemos?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>III. Los Manuscritos Más Antiguos del Nuevo Testamento\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Las copias tempranas en papiro circularon rápidamente por todo el Imperio Romano. Los estudiosos han descubierto alrededor de 120 de estos manuscritos tempranos. Algunos incluso tienen grandes porciones del Nuevo Testamento, mientras que otros contienen un solo libro o página. Datán desde aproximadamente el año 100 d.C. hasta aproximadamente el año 700 d.C. Por ejemplo, el apóstol Juan escribió el cuarto evangelio a finales del siglo I. Un pequeño fragmento de papiro con una pequeña porción del evangelio de Juan copiado en él fue encontrado en Egipto y data de principios del siglo II.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Esto muestra qué tan rápidamente viajaron estos evangelios. En 30 años, la gente había copiado y transportado este evangelio lejos de su origen en Éfeso. Se hicieron cientos de copias. Habría sido imposible para alguien recolectarlas y cambiarlas todas. Es por eso que podemos estar seguros de que tenemos lo que originalmente escribieron los apóstoles mismos. ¿Qué tan confiable es la información registrada de los autores del Nuevo Testamento?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>IV. La Confiabilidad de los Autores del Nuevo Testamento\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Testigos Oculares: Muchos de los hombres que escribieron el Nuevo Testamento realmente presenciaron los eventos que registraron. El apóstol Pedro dijo: “Nosotros fuimos testigos oculares de su majestad”. El apóstol Juan dice: “Lo que hemos visto con nuestros ojos, lo que hemos contemplado y nuestras manos han tocado”, refiriéndose a Jesús. Juan también dice: “Y el Verbo Jesucristo se hizo carne y habitó entre nosotros, y vimos su gloria”.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Algunos escépticos afirman que ninguno de los escritores de los evangelios del Nuevo Testamento conoció a Jesús. El evangelio de Juan lleva todas las marcas de un verdadero relato de testigo ocular. Claramente fue escrito por un judío palestino del siglo I que estaba familiarizado con las costumbres, la religión y la geografía judías.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Un crítico, Sir William Ramsey, investigó el evangelio de Lucas y el Libro de los Hechos. Ramsey se sorprendió al encontrar que los libros eran históricamente precisos con gran precisión y concluyó que las obras eran completamente auténticas. Como resultado, confió en Cristo y se convirtió en un gran defensor de la fe.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Nuestra siguiente pregunta: “¿Por qué [fueron] aceptados los 27 libros del Nuevo Testamento, mientras que otros no lo fueron?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>V. El Canon del Nuevo Testamento: Una Breve Historia\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Inclusión en el Canon: Un libro se incluía en el Nuevo Testamento si: Un apóstol, o un compañero cercano de un apóstol, lo escribió. Los libros fueron escritos en el siglo I. Los libros no se contradecirían a sí mismos ni a las Escrituras del Antiguo Testamento. Serían ampliamente aceptados por la iglesia primitiva.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Reconocimiento del Canon: La primera persona que se conoce que estableció una lista completa de los libros del Nuevo Testamento fue Marción alrededor del año 140 d.C. La historia recuerda a Marción simplemente porque estableció una lista abreviada del canon, incluyendo el evangelio de Lucas y las cartas de Pablo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Para el año 180 d.C. el canon de los evangelios estaba completo. El canon Muratoriano del siglo II es una lista de libros considerados autoritativos en la iglesia primitiva en ese momento. Enumera los cuatro evangelios, Hechos, las 13 cartas de Pablo, más las cartas de Juan, Judas y Apocalipsis. Para finales del siglo II, otros libros (como 1 Pedro y 1 Juan) también han ganado amplia aceptación. La iglesia oriental también había adoptado Hebreos y el Occidente aceptó Apocalipsis.\u003C\u002Fp>Algunas personas afirman que Constantino ejerció una gran influencia en los&nbsp;libros elegidos para el Nuevo Testamento e incluso en su contenido.&nbsp;En ninguna parte hay indicación de que Constantino intentara influir en la&nbsp;selección o el contenido de los libros de las Escrituras.&nbsp;Habría sido imposible para él cambiar el contenido de&nbsp;libros individuales porque habían circulado entre las iglesias&nbsp;durante más de 200 años.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La primera persona en publicar una lista de libros del Nuevo Testamento exactamente como es&nbsp;hoy fue Atanasio, Obispo de Alejandría, en su carta de Pascua en el año 367 d.C.&nbsp;Desde entonces, pocos han cuestionado el contenido del canon, al menos hasta tiempos recientes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>VI. Transmisión del Nuevo Testamento a lo largo de los siglos\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Algunos críticos afirman que todo lo que tenemos hoy en nuestros manuscritos y traducciones son los errores acumulados de siglos de copiar el texto&nbsp;con poco o nada que se parezca a los manuscritos originales del siglo I. En el período más temprano de la copia, todavía había algunos vivos (por ejemplo, Papías y Policarpo) que conocían personalmente&nbsp;a los autores del Nuevo Testamento. También quedaban algunos que fueron testigos oculares de los eventos registrados.&nbsp;Esos testigos habrían señalado rápidamente cualquier error introducido por copistas posteriores.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>¿Qué pasó con los manuscritos originales?&nbsp;Los escritos del NT se completaron durante el siglo I d.C.&nbsp;Sin embargo, sus frágiles documentos originales en papiro desaparecieron dentro de años&nbsp;después de ser escritos, generalmente debido al desgaste.&nbsp;Sin embargo, el testimonio de esos documentos originales permaneció en existencia, preservando copias y mantenido a través de muchas generaciones posteriores que abarcaron los siglos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>¿Son confiables los manuscritos copiados?&nbsp;El Nuevo Testamento ha sido copiado miles de veces, lo que&nbsp;naturalmente conduce a errores de copistas, que surgen en algunos de los manuscritos.&nbsp;Afortunadamente, si el gran número de manuscritos del Nuevo Testamento&nbsp;aumenta el número de errores de escribas.&nbsp;También aumenta proporcionalmente los medios para corregir los errores.&nbsp;El vasto número de manuscritos asegura la detección de&nbsp;errores de escribas&nbsp;y también la capacidad de preservar con confianza el texto exacto&nbsp;de los originales comparando las numerosas copias de manuscritos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Transmisión estable del Nuevo Testamento:&nbsp;Las copias no se hicieron en un solo lugar.&nbsp;No [fueron] deliberadamente conformadas a una sola copia maestra impuesta por&nbsp;la autoridad de la iglesia.&nbsp;Por lo tanto, la independencia de los escribas en diferentes lugares creó múltiples líneas&nbsp;de transmisión del texto.&nbsp;Cuando estas líneas independientes coinciden en su texto, su testimonio es de mayor valor. A través de este proceso, el texto común preserva con precisión los escritos originales de los apóstoles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Vasto número de manuscritos del Nuevo Testamento:&nbsp;A todo esto debe añadirse el vasto número&nbsp;de copias de manuscritos&nbsp;disponibles.&nbsp;Entre el siglo I y el XVI, existen más de 24 mil&nbsp;manuscritos cuando se incluyen griego, latín, siríaco, copto y otros idiomas antiguos. Solo en el idioma griego, hay más de 5400 manuscritos.&nbsp;Esta evidencia sirve como confirmación abrumadora de la integridad de los textos del Nuevo Testamento que se están preservando. No hay otro documento en toda la antigüedad que se acerque siquiera a lo que tenemos en la Biblia.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>VII. Traducción de los textos del Nuevo Testamento\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>¿Pueden los escritos griegos [del Nuevo Testamento] . . . traducirse con precisión a los idiomas cotidianos de hoy?&nbsp;¡Absolutamente!&nbsp;Numerosas otras obras de la antigüedad clásica griega y latina son&nbsp;conocidas por el lector moderno solo en traducción&nbsp;y la confiabilidad general de tales traducciones apenas se cuestiona.&nbsp;Siempre que el traductor represente de manera precisa y precisa lo que el texto griego del Nuevo Testamento mismo establece, aquí debería haber poca duda con respecto a la precisión del significado que se transmite del texto original a nuestras traducciones modernas.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Escrituras clave:&nbsp;2 Pedro 1:16; 1 Juan 1:1; Juan 1:14\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lectura adicional recomendada:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Encountering the New Testament: A Historical and Theological Survey, por Walter A.

Que nous ayons affaire à des écrivains romains comme Tacite ou à des écrivains juifs comme Josèphe, ou aux auteurs du Nouveau Testament eux-mêmes, aucun de ces écrivains ne cherche à nous donner une évaluation “objective” des données, si l’on entend par “objective” une approche dépourvue de valeurs ou purement neutre. Ainsi, toutes les données anciennes pertinentes doivent être examinées et évaluées de manière critique… nous devons toujours “considérer la source” de l’information lorsque nous évaluons son interprétation des données. »\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>New Testament History: A Narrative Account, Ben Witherington III\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le Nouveau Testament relate la naissance virginale, les miracles, les enseignements, la mort et la résurrection de Jésus&nbsp;Christ, mais beaucoup se montrent sceptiques quant aux affirmations du Nouveau Testament concernant le Christ.&nbsp;Ainsi, comment pouvons-nous savoir si les affirmations du Nouveau Testament sont vraies ?&nbsp;Nous devons d’abord explorer l’origine du Nouveau Testament.&nbsp;Les disciples de Jésus ont d’abord proclamé la mort, l’ensevelissement et la résurrection du Christ juste après sa résurrection et son ascension au ciel. Ce message oral [a finalement] pris une forme écrite.&nbsp;Son message essentiel apparaît dans les quatre évangiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I. Les quatre évangiles\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les trois évangiles synoptiques (Matthieu, Marc et Luc) ont été rédigés avant 70 ap.&nbsp;J.-C.&nbsp;Matthieu, l’un des douze disciples, a consigné son témoignage de première main.&nbsp;Marc a enregistré les souvenirs de l’apôtre Pierre.&nbsp;Luc, compagnon missionnaire de l’apôtre Paul, a consulté de nombreux témoins oculaires.&nbsp;Jean, également témoin oculaire du Christ, a rédigé son évangile vers la fin du I\u003Csup>er\u003C\u002Fsup>&nbsp;siècle.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>II. Les épîtres du Nouveau Testament\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>De nombreuses épîtres du Nouveau Testament ont été écrites avant ces récits évangéliques.&nbsp;Jacques, le frère de Jésus, a rédigé son livre vers 45 ap.&nbsp;J.-C., un peu plus d’une décennie après la mort du Christ.&nbsp;Paul a écrit son épître aux Galates vers 47-48 ap.&nbsp;J.-C. Ces premières épîtres désignent toutes clairement Jésus comme Seigneur, une référence à sa divinité.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ainsi,&nbsp;nous voyons que les épîtres du Nouveau Testament ont été écrites par les apôtres à une époque où les témoins oculaires étaient encore en vie ; ils ont donc pu personnellement valider les écrits du Nouveau Testament et empêcher tout mythe de se développer dans les récits.&nbsp;Alors, quels sont les plus anciens manuscrits du Nouveau Testament et combien en possédons-nous ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>III. Les plus anciens manuscrits du Nouveau Testament\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les premiers copies sur papyrus ont circulé rapidement dans tout l’Empire romain. Les chercheurs ont découvert environ 120 de ces manuscrits anciens. Certains contiennent de grandes portions du Nouveau Testament, tandis que d’autres ne renferment qu’un seul livre ou une seule page. Ils datent d’environ 100 ap.&nbsp;J.-C. à environ 700 ap.&nbsp;J.-C.&nbsp;Par exemple, l’apôtre Jean a rédigé le quatrième évangile à la fin du I\u003Csup>er\u003C\u002Fsup> siècle.

La fiabilité des auteurs du Nouveau Testament\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Témoins oculaires :&nbsp;Beaucoup des hommes qui ont rédigé le Nouveau Testament ont réellement&nbsp;été témoins des événements qu’ils ont consignés.&nbsp;L’apôtre Pierre a déclaré : « Nous avons été témoins oculaires&nbsp;de sa majesté. » L’apôtre Jean dit : « Ce que nous avons&nbsp;vu de nos yeux, ce que nous avons contemplé et que nos mains ont touché », en parlant de Jésus. Jean ajoute également : « Et la Parole, Jésus-Christ, est devenue chair et a habité&nbsp;parmi nous, et nous avons contemplé sa gloire. »\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Certains sceptiques affirment qu’aucun des rédacteurs des évangiles du Nouveau Testament n’a rencontré&nbsp;Jésus.&nbsp;L’évangile de Jean porte toutes les marques d’un véritable récit de témoin oculaire.&nbsp;Il a clairement été écrit par un Juif palestinien du I\u003Csup>er\u003C\u002Fsup> siècle, familier des coutumes, de la religion et de la géographie juives.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Un critique, Sir William Ramsay, a examiné l’évangile de Luc et le livre des Actes.&nbsp;Ramsay a été surpris de constater que ces ouvrages étaient historiquement exacts avec une grande précision et a conclu qu’ils étaient entièrement authentiques.&nbsp;En conséquence, il a fait confiance au Christ&nbsp;et est devenu un grand&nbsp;défenseur de la foi.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Notre question suivante : « Pourquoi [les] 27 livres du Nouveau Testament ont-ils été acceptés, tandis que d’autres ne l’ont pas été ? »\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>V.

L’histoire se souvient de Marcion simplement parce qu’il a établi une liste canonique abrégée, incluant l’évangile de Luc et les lettres de Paul.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Vers 180 ap.&nbsp;J.-C., le canon des évangiles était complet.&nbsp;Le canon muratorien du II\u003Csup>e\u003C\u002Fsup> siècle est une liste de livres considérés comme faisant autorité&nbsp;dans l’Église primitive à cette époque. Il énumère les quatre évangiles, les Actes, les 13 lettres de Paul, ainsi que les lettres de Jean, de Jude et l’Apocalypse.&nbsp;À la fin du II\u003Csup>e\u003C\u002Fsup> siècle, d’autres livres (comme 1 Pierre et 1 Jean) ont également gagné une large acceptation. L’Église d’Orient avait également adopté l’épître aux Hébreux&nbsp;et l’Occident a accepté l’Apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>Certaines personnes affirment que Constantin a exercé une grande influence sur les&nbsp;livres choisis pour le Nouveau Testament et même sur leur contenu.&nbsp;Rien n’indique que Constantin ait tenté d’influencer la&nbsp;sélection ou le contenu des livres de l’Écriture.&nbsp;Il lui aurait été impossible de modifier le contenu des&nbsp;livres individuels, car ils circulaient parmi les Églises&nbsp;depuis plus de 200 ans.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La première personne à publier une liste des livres du Nouveau Testament exactement telle qu’elle est&nbsp;aujourd’hui fut Athanase, évêque d’Alexandrie, dans sa lettre de Pâques en 367 apr. J.-C.&nbsp;Depuis lors, peu de gens ont remis en question le contenu du canon, du moins jusqu’à une époque récente.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>VI. Transmission du Nouveau Testament au fil des siècles\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Certains critiques affirment que tout ce que nous possédons aujourd’hui dans nos manuscrits et nos traductions n’est que l’accumulation d’erreurs de siècles de copie du texte,&nbsp;ne ressemblant guère aux manuscrits originaux du 1er siècle. À la période la plus ancienne de la copie, il y avait encore des personnes vivantes (par ex. Papias et Polycarpe) qui connaissaient personnellement&nbsp;les auteurs du Nouveau Testament.

It consists of more than fifty trillion cells and its weight is about sixty percent water. It manufactures three hundred million new blood cells every day and it has a heart that beats seventy to eighty times per minute or one hundred thousand times every day. Over seventy years it pumps four hundred million liters of blood. The average adult breathes six to seven liters of air per minute (picture in your mind the liter diet Coke bottle), which is about ten thousand liters per day and 3,650,000 liters per year.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Other interesting facts include:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There are about one hundred billion neurons (nerve cells) in the brain. We are born with twelve billion neurons that do not regenerate when they die. There are one hundred thousand miles of blood vessels in an adult—enough to circle the earth four times. The average human eye blinks about twenty thousand times every day. The human kidney filters seventeen hundred liters of blood every twenty-four hours. There is enough carbon in your body to fill nine hundred pencils. There are about seventy-five thousand hairs on your head. The strongest muscle in your body is the tongue!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Essential to the health and well being of this gift from God are three important factors: 1) rest, 2) diet, and 3) exercise. I am especially interested in exercise. A quick survey of any basic text on anatomy or even a visit to your local encyclopedia yields some amazing discoveries about exercise and fitness. Did you know that for your body to be healthy and fine-tuned it needs 1) strength fitness, 2) endurance fitness, 3) anaerobic fitness, 4) speed fitness, 5) orthostatic fitness, and even 6) relaxation fitness? All of these are crucial to a healthy, fit and productive body. “The human body, like any living organism, must be used or it will lose its structure and function.”1&nbsp; As the saying goes, “If you don’t use it, you lose it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What is true about physical life is also true about spiritual life. Our inner person, our spiritual being requires attention and exercise if it is going to be healthy and productive. To be fit and ready for service, trained and fine-tuned for efficient ministry, we must engage in spiritual exercise. There are certain disciplines we must adopt as our very own.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-22 the apostle Paul directs our attention to eight spiritual exercises that will make us strong for the Lord. In short yet powerful commands, we are challenged to live our lives in a very specific and intentional manner that will conform to the will of God (v. 18). Each of these eight exercises is in the form of an imperative. God is not asking us to consider these principles for possible adoption and implementation. On the contrary, it is His will that these activities become a vital part of who we are.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It is also interesting to note that the verbs in each verse are in the present tense, calling for continuous action. Further, an adverbial modifier stands before the verb in each command. This placement puts an emphasis&nbsp;on these modifiers. Verses 16-18 give particular attention to the inner life of the believer, while verses 19-22 focus more on the life of the Church as it gathers for corporate worship.2&nbsp;Inwardly and outwardly, individually and corporately, Paul provides us potent exercises to enable us to be spiritually strong for the Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Spiritual exercises\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Rejoice consistently 5:16\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The first challenge we receive is to rejoice constantly. Paul addresses the subject of joy over two dozen times in his letters. It is the dominant theme of Philippians where he tells us: “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say rejoice” (4:4). In 2 Corinthians 6:10 he teaches that there is no contradiction in rejoicing when we sorrow. Nehemiah 8:10 reminds us that “the joy of the Lord is your strength.” Joy is a mark of one who has experienced God’s transforming grace through Jesus Christ.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The word “always” is a favorite of Paul’s in 1 Thessalonians. He uses it four other times (1:2; 2:16; 3:6; 4:17). It means “on every occasion” or “in every set of circumstances.” Joy is not the same as happiness. Joy is not based on the situation in which we find ourselves. Some situations are bad and painful. They hurt. Joy is based, rather, on the fact that we are in Christ and what we are experiencing is the will of God for us (v. 18). We can experience joy even when we sorrow. On July 23-24, 1999 I participated in a men’s retreat at the beautiful Estes Park outside of Denver, Colorado. Much of our time was spent learning how to be better husbands and fathers. One gentleman, after our Saturday morning session, told me that his family had become even more precious to him in recent years because he had lost a son to kidney disease a number of years earlier. The son was only twenty-seven. Tears welled up in his eyes as he talked, but a gentle smile was also on his face as we reflected on the fact that this son, who had trusted Christ as Savior and Lord, no longer experienced the pain and severe limitations his disease had brought. For him Philippians 1:21 especially rang true, “For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” There was sorrow, but there was also joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because we belong to Christ and He is working his purpose in and through us, we can possess genuine joy. We can be spiritually magnetic and infectious. We can bless rather than curse, encourage and not disappoint, give hope rather than despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In life and especially in ministry, we must exercise our “joy muscles.” As they grow strong we develop an optimistic outlook, a sense of humor, a winsome spirit. There is a smile rather than a frown. People leave our presence more encouraged than when they first arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pray unceasingly 5:17\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There is an intimate connection between verses 16 and 17, for unceasing prayer will almost always produce a joyful heart. A heart full of joy is the result of a heart free of burdens, and a heart free of burdens is a heart comforted by prayer. John Calvin said, “by prayer we dis-burden our anxieties, as it were, into his bosom.”3\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Due to a misunderstanding, however, this verse is often a source of discouragement rather than encouragement. Some people read the verse and conclude that God somehow expects them to be in prayer twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Prayer, by some miraculous means, is to be a moment-by-moment and second-by-second occupation. Of course this is impossible, and it misses the intent of the text.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The verse challenges us to be constant and consistent in our prayer life. Prayer is to be a regular habit, a close companion. Prayer can be understood essentially as a “breathing exercise.” When we inhale, we listen to the voice of God in His Word through the Holy Spirit’s illumination. As we exhale, we speak back to the Lord sharing our heart, telling Him what is on our mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The word for prayer “is a general one that implies a worshipful approach to God.”4&nbsp;It encompasses all types of prayer. As we try and establish a good foundation in these basic exercises, I believe we should focus on two particular aspects of this exercise and in this order: praise and petition. We should regularly come into the presence of our Lord praising Him, honoring Him, adoring Him for who He is and all that He has done. We praise him for His person and work. We acknowledge that He alone is God and that He alone is worthy to be praised. Then, we can approach Him who is Father asking for what we need and interceding on behalf of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No one has addressed the urgency of prayer with greater passion than Andrew Murray. In his classic&nbsp;\u003Cem>The Ministry of\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;\u003Cem>Intercession,&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>he reminds us, “Christ actually meant prayer to be the great power by which His Church should do its work, the neglect of prayer is the great reason the Church has not greater power over the masses in Christian and in heathen countries.”5&nbsp;Therefore,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Let us take time to seriously consider this need. Each Christless soul will go down to utter darkness, perish-ing from hunger, even though there is bread to spare. Unknown millions of souls are dying without the knowledge of Christ. Christians all around us are living a sickly, feeble and fruitless spiritual life. Surely there is a need for prayer. Nothing but prayer to God for help will avail.6\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Prayer is that incredible conversation which connects earth to heaven and man to God. I do not understand all of its mysteries and how it is that the prayers of finite humans can move an infinite and sovereign God. Many believe a prayer revival is sweeping our land. Recently the $5.5 million World Prayer Center was opened in Colorado Springs for the purpose of praying for world evangelization. Today there are public prayer marches, prayer walks, onsite prayer and what has been called, “saturation prayer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In November 1998 more than three million people participated in Campus Crusade’s Three Day Prayer and Fasting Conference. Some believe we can identify quantifiable results of prayer. In Washington, D.C., 237 churches have come together to pray and crime has reportedly dropped seventeen percent.7\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I admit that I am not sure what to make of all of this. What I do know is that God says pray, and when I pray I become stronger spiritually. I am blessed and God is pleased. I am convinced that prayer will be your hardest exercise. Scripture teaches this and my own experience confirms it. Why? Perhaps it is because we fail to appreciate or understand the incredible privilege we have. Andrew Murray rightly says, “Throughout Scripture, in the life of every saint, of God’s own Son, throughout the history of God’s Church, God is, first of all, a prayer hearing God.”8&nbsp;If He is always listening, and He is, then we should always be praying.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Give thanks comprehensively 5:18\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Here is perhaps one of the most difficult commands in the Bible to obey. The demand seems absurd. There must be a mistake. And yet, there it is: “in&nbsp;\u003Cem>everything\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;give thanks. . . .” However, this is one place in Scripture where we dare not stop too quickly. We must take the verse in all of its fullness. As Paul Harvey is fond to say, we must read “the rest of the story.” And just what do we discover? “This&nbsp;\u003Cem>is\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;the will of God&nbsp;\u003Cem>in\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;Christ Jesus for you.” Now the key is turned. Now the mist begins to lift. Now my sight begins to clear. Note we are to give thanks&nbsp;\u003Cem>in\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;all things not&nbsp;\u003Cem>for\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;all things. Say thank you that my mother died? Say thank you that my parents are getting a divorce? Say thank you for the terrible accident that left my brother in a coma with a battered and broken body? No! This is not what it says. It says, “Give thanks&nbsp;\u003Cem>in\u003C\u002Fem>. . . .” Call to your aid the perspective of Romans 8:28. Leon Morris puts it well,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>. . . when a man comes to see that God in Christ has saved him, everything is altered. He now realizes that God’s purpose is being worked out. He sees the evidence in his own life and in the lives of those about him. This leads to the thought that the same loving purpose is being worked out even in those events which he is inclined not to welcome at all. When he comes to see God’s hand in all things he learns to give thanks for all things. Tribulation is unpleasant. Yet who in the midst of tribulation would not give thanks when he knows that the Father who loves him so greatly has permitted that tribulation only in order that His wise and merciful purpose might be worked out?9\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Calvin adds:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For what is fitter or more suitable for pacifying us, than when we learn that God embraces us in Christ so tenderly, that he turns to our advantage and welfare everything that befalls us? ... this is a special remedy for correcting our impatience— to turn away our eyes from beholding present evils that torment us, and to direct our views to a consideration of a different nature— how God stands affected toward us in Christ.10\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For a lost person to say “thank you” for everything is foolish. For the child of God to say “thank you” in everything is faith.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Desire the Spirit fervently 5:19\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This verse is translated, “Do not quench the Spirit.” The word quench means “to put out.” This is the only place in the NT where the word is used in metaphorically. A believer cannot lose the Spirit (Eph 1:13-14), but he can grieve Him (Eph 4:30) and quench Him. In this verse it is the work, and not the person, of the Spirit that is in view. To quench the Spirit is to extinguish, stifle, restrain, or stop His work in our lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Since its beginning, the church has struggled to “get it right” when it comes to the ministry of the Holy Spirit. A. T. Robertson lamented in his time, “Today there are two extremes about spiritual gifts (cold indifference or wild excess).”11&nbsp;Warren Wiersbe warns us, “The fire of the Spirit must not go out on the altar of our hearts.”12&nbsp;The Spirit is a gift of God’s grace received at salvation. We are now His temple (1 Cor. 6:19-20). James 4:5 teaches that “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously.” In passionate response, we should long for Him, desiring His full and unhindered activity in our lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Honor preaching properly 5:20\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One way we may quench the Spirit is by despising the preaching of the word. “Do not hold in contempt these utterances” is how B. H. Carroll, first president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, renders this verse. Apparently preaching suffered from the same thing in the first century as it does today: a lack of respect. What was the problem we ask? False prophecies? Unimpressive preaching? The gift was not spectacular enough? It was too spectacular? We do not know for sure. What we do know is that the preaching of the word is “the power of God” (1 Cor 1:18), it convinces and it convicts (1 Cor 14:24), it is that which comes “in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance” (1 Thess 1:5). Calvin paints a realistic picture from his own day when he writes, “Many feel disgusted with the very name of preaching, as there are so many foolish and ignorant persons that from the pulpit blab out their worthless contrivances.”13&nbsp;However, he goes on to add: “But the Lord declares in this place by the mouth of Paul, that the course of doctrine ought not, by any faults of mankind, or by any rashness, or ignorance, or, in fine, by any abuse to be hindered from being always in a vigorous state in the Church.”14\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Preaching continues to be assaulted in our day. Sometimes the attack comes even from within the evangelical camp. Exposition has especially been the target of many modern ministers who believe we must tell it the world’s way if we want the world to hear. Calvin Miller of the Beeson Divinity School is a major advocate and evangelist for narrative preaching over against exposition. He says, “Since we are a story-soaked culture, to preach in any other way is just not going to attract people.”15&nbsp;According to&nbsp;\u003Cem>The\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;\u003Cem>Futurist\u003C\u002Fem>, the most valued workers in the\u003Cem>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fem>new century will be storytellers. Any professional – advertiser, teacher, politician, entrepreneur, athlete, or minister – will be valued for the ability to come up with stories that captivate an audience.16\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>May I suggest a couple of principles to follow, which will acknowledge the element of truth in the narrative approach but will not embrace its error? First, it is a sin to make the Bible boring. Paige Patterson is correct when he says, “The criticisms I hear about expository preaching are, in reality, criticisms about ‘boring preaching.’ The greatest preaching in the earth is still captivating, prophetic, invigorating, Christ-honoring exposition.”17&nbsp;Secondly, when the Bible tells a story then you tell the story. When it teaches doctrine, then you teach doctrine. Be true to the text and show your congregation what a great God we worship. Preach with passion, zeal and energy. Honor Paul’s admonition to “Preach the word” (2 Tim 4:2).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Live life wisely 5:21\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>We are not to despise preaching, prophecy, the proclamation of God’s word by His prophets. However, a question naturally arises: Does anything go? Are we to open the door with eyes wide shut exercising no discrimination whatsoever? B. H. Carroll reminds us, “There are some spirits that are from God. There is an inspiration that come not from God. There is devil inspiration.”18Calvin says, “Keep the middle path . . . examination or discrimination ought to precede rejection, so it must, also, precede the reception of true and sound doctrines. . . . Sometimes good and pious teachers fail to hit the mark.”19&nbsp;The word test means “prove or examine.” The New English Bible says, “try to determine the genuineness.” And note the qualifying phrase: “All things.” Vigilance in guarding “the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3) is an ever necessary posture. We can never relax our guard or let down our defenses. The history of our own Southern Baptist denomination teaches us how quickly the truth can be lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dr. Jerry Vines has written a fine book entitled&nbsp;\u003Cem>Spirit Works\u003C\u002Fem>.

Once we have put all things to the test, we are to continually hold fast what is good. Paul is telling us to cling to and never let go of that which is good. The immediate object of this exercise is prophetic utterances. Some interpreters believe it is legitimate to extend the principle only to all spiritual gifts and activities. I believe, however, that Paul placed no restriction on this command. Verse 22 indicates that he set forth this exercise as a general rule of life to be applied to all things. When you discover any good thing from God, guard it and keep it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, the danger is not so much that you will let it go, as it is that you will let it slip away. In Song of Solomon 2:15 we are warned about the “little foxes” that can sneak into the vineyard and spoil the vines. Solomon is warning us about the little things that can wound our marriage, and all the while we don’t even notice. The good things of a Christian marriage and family are not to be held lightly or flippantly held. “Hold fast,” hold tight, and never let go of those good things you have from God.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Abstain from evil completely 5:22\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Abstain is a strong word. Paul used it in 4:3 when he told the Thessalonians to stay away from sexual immorality. The force of this verb is further strengthened by Paul’s use of a preposition that emphasizes separation and his placing of that preposition first in the text. Literally he writes, “From every form of evil abstain.” The word “form” is an interesting one. Hiebert points out that while the term “can mean outward appearances, it can also mean, ‘sort, kind, species.’”21&nbsp; Most likely, Paul means every kind of evil rather than just every outward appearance of evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Evil does come at us in all sorts of sizes, shapes and forms. It is a complex enemy. While it never changes in its essence, it continually seeks new and enticing forms, tailor made just right for each one of us. Evil knows you from your shoe size to your hat size. It regularly sizes you up that it might catch you off guard and knock you out.

Consta de más de cincuenta billones de células y su peso es aproximadamente sesenta por ciento agua. Fabrica trescientos millones de glóbulos rojos nuevos cada día y tiene un corazón que late setenta a ochenta veces por minuto o cien mil veces cada día. En setenta años bombea cuatrocientos millones de litros de sangre. El adulto promedio respira de seis a siete litros de aire por minuto (imagínese en su mente la botella de Coca-Cola dietética de un litro), lo que equivale a unos diez mil litros al día y 3.650.000 litros al año.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Otros datos interesantes incluyen:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hay alrededor de cien mil millones de neuronas (células nerviosas) en el cerebro. Nacemos con doce mil millones de neuronas que no se regeneran cuando mueren. Hay cien mil millas de vasos sanguíneos en un adulto, suficientes para rodear la tierra cuatro veces. El ojo humano parpadea en promedio unas veinte mil veces cada día. El riñón humano filtra mil setecientos litros de sangre cada veinticuatro horas. Hay suficiente carbono en su cuerpo para llenar novecientos lápices.

Me interesa especialmente el ejercicio. Un rápido vistazo a cualquier texto básico de anatomía o incluso una visita a su enciclopedia local revela algunos descubrimientos asombrosos sobre el ejercicio y la forma física. ¿Sabía usted que para que su cuerpo esté sano y en sintonía necesita 1) aptitud de fuerza, 2) aptitud de resistencia, 3) aptitud anaeróbica, 4) aptitud de velocidad, 5) aptitud ortostática e incluso 6) aptitud de relajación? Todos estos son cruciales para un cuerpo sano, en forma y productivo. “El cuerpo humano, como cualquier organismo vivo, debe usarse o perderá su estructura y función.”1&nbsp; Como dice el refrán, “Si no lo usas, lo pierdes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lo que es cierto acerca de la vida física también lo es acerca de la vida espiritual. Nuestra persona interior, nuestro ser espiritual requiere atención y ejercicio si va a estar sano y ser productivo. Para estar en forma y listo para el servicio, entrenado y afinado para un ministerio eficiente, debemos practicar el ejercicio espiritual. Hay ciertas disciplinas que debemos adoptar como propias.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En 1 Tesalonicenses 5:16-22 el apóstol Pablo dirige nuestra atención a ocho ejercicios espirituales que nos harán fuertes para el Señor. En mandatos breves pero poderosos, se nos desafía a vivir nuestras vidas de manera muy específica e intencional que se conforme a la voluntad de Dios (v. 18). Cada uno de estos ocho ejercicios está en forma de imperativo. Dios no nos pide que consideremos estos principios para una posible adopción e implementación. Por el contrario, es su voluntad que estas actividades se conviertan en parte vital de lo que somos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>También es interesante notar que los verbos en cada versículo están en tiempo presente, exigiendo acción continua. Además, un modificador adverbial precede al verbo en cada mandato. Esta colocación pone énfasis en estos modificadores. Los versículos 16-18 prestan especial atención a la vida interior del creyente, mientras que los versículos 19-22 se centran más en la vida de la Iglesia mientras se reúne para el culto corporativo.2&nbsp;Interior y exteriormente, individual y corporativamente, Pablo nos proporciona ejercicios potentes para capacitarnos a ser espiritualmente fuertes para el Señor.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Ejercicios espirituales\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Regocíjate consistentemente 5:16\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El primer desafío que recibimos es regocijarnos constantemente. Pablo aborda el tema de la alegría más de dos docenas de veces en sus cartas. Es el tema dominante de Filipenses donde nos dice: “Regocijaos en el Señor siempre. Otra vez digo, ¡regocijaos!” (4:4). En 2 Corintios 6:10 enseña que no hay contradicción en regocijarse cuando sufrimos. Nehemías 8:10 nos recuerda que “el gozo del Señor es vuestra fortaleza.” La alegría es una marca de quien ha experimentado la gracia transformadora de Dios a través de Jesucristo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La palabra “siempre” es favorita de Pablo en 1 Tesalonicenses. La usa otras cuatro veces (1:2; 2:16; 3:6; 4:17). Significa “en toda ocasión” o “en todo conjunto de circunstancias.” La alegría no es lo mismo que la felicidad. La alegría no se basa en la situación en la que nos encontramos. Algunas situaciones son malas y dolorosas. Duelen. La alegría se basa, más bien, en el hecho de que estamos en Cristo y lo que estamos experimentando es la voluntad de Dios para nosotros (v. 18). Podemos experimentar gozo incluso cuando sufrimos. Del 23 al 24 de julio de 1999 participé en un retiro de hombres en el hermoso Estes Park, fuera de Denver, Colorado. Gran parte de nuestro tiempo se dedicó a aprender cómo ser mejores esposos y padres. Un caballero, después de nuestra sesión del sábado por la mañana, me dijo que su familia se había vuelto aún más preciosa para él en los últimos años porque había perdido a un hijo por enfermedad renal varios años antes. El hijo tenía solo veintisiete años. Las lágrimas brotaron de sus ojos mientras hablaba, pero también había una suave sonrisa en su rostro mientras reflexionábamos sobre el hecho de que este hijo, que había confiado en Cristo como Salvador y Señor, ya no experimentaba el dolor y las severas limitaciones que su enfermedad le había traído. Para él, Filipenses 1:21 sonaba especialmente cierto: “Porque para mí el vivir es Cristo, y el morir es ganancia.” Había dolor, pero también había gozo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Porque pertenecemos a Cristo y Él está obrando su propósito en nosotros y a través de nosotros, podemos poseer gozo genuino. Podemos ser espiritualmente magnéticos e infecciosos. Podemos bendecir en lugar de maldecir, animar y no decepcionar, dar esperanza en lugar de desesperación.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En la vida y especialmente en el ministerio, debemos ejercitar nuestros “músculos de la alegría.” A medida que se fortalecen, desarrollamos una perspectiva optimista, un sentido del humor y un espíritu atractivo. Hay una sonrisa en lugar de un ceño fruncido. Las personas se alejan de nuestra presencia más animadas que cuando llegaron.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Orad sin cesar 5:17\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Existe una conexión íntima entre los versículos 16 y 17, pues la oración incesante casi siempre produce un corazón gozoso. Un corazón lleno de gozo es el resultado de un corazón libre de cargas, y un corazón libre de cargas es un corazón consolado por la oración. Juan Calvino dijo: “por medio de la oración descargamos nuestras ansiedades, por así decirlo, en su seno.”3\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sin embargo, debido a un malentendido, este versículo suele ser fuente de desaliento más que de aliento. Algunas personas leen el versículo y concluyen que Dios de alguna manera espera que estén orando veinticuatro horas al día, siete días a la semana. La oración, por algún medio milagroso, debe ser una ocupación momento a momento y segundo a segundo. Por supuesto, esto es imposible y no capta la intención del texto.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El versículo nos desafía a ser constantes y consistentes en nuestra vida de oración. La oración debe ser un hábito regular, un compañero cercano. La oración puede entenderse esencialmente como un “ejercicio de respiración.” Cuando inhalamos, escuchamos la voz de Dios en Su Palabra a través de la iluminación del Espíritu Santo. Al exhalar, hablamos de regreso al Señor compartiendo nuestro corazón, diciéndole lo que tenemos en mente.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La palabra para oración “es un término general que implica un acercamiento reverente a Dios.”4 Abarca todo tipo de oración. Al tratar de establecer una buena base en estos ejercicios básicos, creo que debemos enfocarnos en dos aspectos particulares de este ejercicio y en este orden: alabanza y petición. Debemos acercarnos regularmente a la presencia de nuestro Señor alabándolo, honrándolo, adorándolo por quién es y por todo lo que ha hecho. Lo alabamos por su persona y obra. Reconocemos que Él solo es Dios y que solo Él es digno de ser alabado. Luego, podemos acercarnos a Él que es Padre pidiendo lo que necesitamos e intercediendo por otros.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Nadie ha abordado la urgencia de la oración con mayor pasión que Andrew Murray. En su clásico \u003Cem>El ministerio de la intercesión\u003C\u002Fem>, nos recuerda: “Cristo realmente quiso que la oración fuera el gran poder por el cual su Iglesia hiciera su obra; el descuido de la oración es la gran razón por la que la Iglesia no tiene mayor poder sobre las masas en los países cristianos y paganos.”5 Por lo tanto,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tomemos tiempo para considerar seriamente esta necesidad. Cada alma sin Cristo descenderá a una oscuridad total, pereciendo de hambre, aunque hay pan de sobra. Millones de almas desconocidas están muriendo sin el conocimiento de Cristo. Los cristianos que nos rodean viven una vida espiritual enfermiza, débil y estéril. Ciertamente hay necesidad de oración. Nada sino la oración a Dios en busca de ayuda servirá.6\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La oración es esa conversación increíble que conecta la tierra con el cielo y al hombre con Dios. No comprendo todos sus misterios ni cómo es que las oraciones de seres humanos finitos pueden mover a un Dios infinito y soberano. Muchos creen que un avivamiento de oración está recorriendo nuestra tierra. Recientemente se inauguró en Colorado Springs el Centro Mundial de Oración de 5,5 millones de dólares con el propósito de orar por la evangelización mundial. Hoy hay marchas de oración públicas, caminatas de oración, oración en el lugar y lo que se ha llamado “oración de saturación.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En noviembre de 1998 más de tres millones de personas participaron en la Conferencia de Tres Días de Oración y Ayuno de Campus Crusade. Algunos creen que podemos identificar resultados cuantificables de la oración. En Washington, D.C., 237 iglesias se han unido para orar y el crimen ha disminuido supuestamente un diecisiete por ciento.7\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Admito que no estoy seguro de qué pensar de todo esto. Lo que sí sé es que Dios dice que oremos, y cuando oro me fortalezco espiritualmente. Soy bendecido y Dios está complacido. Estoy convencido de que la oración será tu ejercicio más difícil. La Escritura enseña esto y mi propia experiencia lo confirma. ¿Por qué? Tal vez porque no apreciamos ni entendemos el privilegio increíble que tenemos. Andrew Murray dice con razón: “A lo largo de la Escritura, en la vida de cada santo, del propio Hijo de Dios, a lo largo de la historia de la Iglesia de Dios, Dios es, ante todo, un Dios que escucha la oración.”8 Si Él siempre está escuchando, y lo está, entonces nosotros siempre debemos estar orando.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dad gracias en todo 5:18\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Aquí tenemos quizás uno de los mandatos más difíciles de obedecer en la Biblia. La exigencia parece absurda. Debe haber un error. Y sin embargo, ahí está: “en \u003Cem>todo\u003C\u002Fem> dad gracias. . . .” Sin embargo, este es un lugar en la Escritura donde no debemos detenernos demasiado rápido. Debemos tomar el versículo en toda su plenitud. Como a Paul Harvey le gusta decir, debemos leer “el resto de la historia.” ¿Y qué descubrimos? “Esta \u003Cem>es\u003C\u002Fem> la voluntad de Dios \u003Cem>en\u003C\u002Fem> Cristo Jesús para vosotros.” Ahora se gira la llave. Ahora la niebla comienza a disiparse. Ahora mi vista comienza a aclararse. Observemos que debemos dar gracias \u003Cem>en\u003C\u002Fem> todas las cosas, no \u003Cem>por\u003C\u002Fem> todas las cosas. ¿Dar gracias porque mi madre murió? ¿Dar gracias porque mis padres se están divorciando? ¿Dar gracias por el terrible accidente que dejó a mi hermano en coma con un cuerpo golpeado y roto? ¡No! Eso no es lo que dice. Dice: “Dad gracias \u003Cem>en\u003C\u002Fem>. . . .” Invocad en vuestra ayuda la perspectiva de Romanos 8:28. Leon Morris lo expresa bien,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>. . . cuando un hombre llega a ver que Dios en Cristo lo ha salvado, todo cambia. Ahora comprende que el propósito de Dios se está cumpliendo. Ve la evidencia en su propia vida y en la vida de quienes lo rodean. Esto lleva al pensamiento de que el mismo propósito amoroso se está cumpliendo incluso en aquellos acontecimientos que no está dispuesto a aceptar en absoluto. Cuando llega a ver la mano de Dios en todas las cosas, aprende a dar gracias por todas las cosas. La tribulación es desagradable. Sin embargo, ¿quién en medio de la tribulación no daría gracias cuando sabe que el Padre que lo ama tanto ha permitido esa tribulación solo para que se cumpla Su propósito sabio y misericordioso?9\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Calvino añade:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pues ¿qué es más apropiado o más adecuado para pacificar que aprender que Dios nos abraza en Cristo con tanta ternura, que todo lo que nos acontece lo convierte en nuestro beneficio y bienestar? ... este es un remedio especial para corregir nuestra impaciencia: apartar nuestros ojos de contemplar los males presentes que nos atormentan, y dirigir nuestras miradas a la consideración de una naturaleza diferente: cómo se siente Dios hacia nosotros en Cristo.10\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Para una persona perdida decir “gracias” por todo es necedad.

La palabra apagar significa “extinguir”. Este es el único lugar en el NT donde la palabra se usa metafóricamente. Un creyente no puede perder al Espíritu (Efesios 1:13-14), pero puede contristarlo (Efesios 4:30) y apagarlo. En este versículo se tiene en vista la obra, y no la persona, del Espíritu. Apagar al Espíritu es extinguir, sofocar, restringir o detener Su obra en nuestras vidas.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Desde sus inicios, la iglesia ha luchado por “hacerlo bien” en lo que respecta al ministerio del Espíritu Santo. A. T. Robertson lamentó en su tiempo: “Hoy hay dos extremos respecto a los dones espirituales (fría indiferencia o exceso desenfrenado)”.11&nbsp;Warren Wiersbe nos advierte: “El fuego del Espíritu no debe apagarse en el altar de nuestros corazones”.12&nbsp;El Espíritu es un don de la gracia de Dios recibido en la salvación. Ahora somos Su templo (1 Corintios 6:19-20). Santiago 4:5 enseña que “El Espíritu que mora en nosotros anhela celosamente”. En respuesta apasionada, debemos anhelarlo, deseando Su actividad plena y sin obstáculos en nuestras vidas.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Honra la predicación debidamente 5:20\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Una manera en que podemos apagar al Espíritu es despreciando la predicación de la palabra. “No tengan en menos estas profecías” es como B. H. Carroll, primer presidente del Seminario Teológico Bautista del Suroeste, traduce este versículo. Aparentemente la predicación sufría en el primer siglo lo mismo que hoy: una falta de respeto. ¿Cuál era el problema, preguntamos? ¿Falsas profecías? ¿Predicación poco impresionante? ¿El don no era lo suficientemente espectacular? ¿Era demasiado espectacular? No lo sabemos con certeza. Lo que sí sabemos es que la predicación de la palabra es “el poder de Dios” (1 Corintios 1:18), convence y convence (1 Corintios 14:24), es aquello que viene “en poder, en el Espíritu Santo y en plena certidumbre” (1 Tesalonicenses 1:5). Calvino pinta un cuadro realista de su propia época cuando escribe: “Muchos se disgustan con el mismo nombre de la predicación, pues hay tantas personas necias e ignorantes que desde el púlpito balbucean sus invenciones sin valor”.13&nbsp;Sin embargo, continúa añadiendo: “Pero el Señor declara en este lugar por boca de Pablo, que el curso de la doctrina no debe, por ninguna falta de los hombres, ni por ninguna temeridad, ignorancia o, en fin, por ningún abuso, ser impedido de estar siempre en un estado vigoroso en la Iglesia”.14\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La predicación sigue siendo asaltada en nuestros días. A veces el ataque proviene incluso desde dentro del campo evangélico. La exposición ha sido especialmente el blanco de muchos ministros modernos que creen que debemos contárselo al mundo a la manera del mundo si queremos que el mundo nos escuche. Calvin Miller de la Escuela de Divinidad Beeson es un gran defensor y evangelista de la predicación narrativa en lugar de la exposición. Él dice: “Como somos una cultura empapada de historias, predicar de cualquier otra manera simplemente no va a atraer a la gente”.15&nbsp;Según&nbsp;\u003Cem>The\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;\u003Cem>Futurist\u003C\u002Fem>, los trabajadores más valorados en el nuevo siglo serán los narradores de historias. Cualquier profesional – publicista, maestro, político, empresario, atleta o ministro – será valorado por la capacidad de crear historias que cautiven a una audiencia.16\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Permítanme sugerir un par de principios a seguir, que reconozcan el elemento de verdad en el enfoque narrativo pero no adopten su error. Primero, es un pecado hacer que la Biblia sea aburrida. Paige Patterson tiene razón cuando dice: “Las críticas que escucho sobre la predicación expositiva son, en realidad, críticas sobre la ‘predicación aburrida’. La mejor predicación de la tierra sigue siendo cautivadora, profética, vigorizante y expositiva que honra a Cristo”.17&nbsp;En segundo lugar, cuando la Biblia cuenta una historia, entonces cuenta la historia. Cuando enseña doctrina, entonces enseña doctrina. Sé fiel al texto y muestra a tu congregación qué gran Dios adoramos. Predica con pasión, celo y energía. Honra la exhortación de Pablo: “Predica la palabra” (2 Timoteo 4:2).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Vive sabiamente 5:21\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No somos para despreciar la predicación, la profecía, la proclamación de la palabra de Dios por Sus profetas. Sin embargo, surge naturalmente una pregunta: ¿Vale todo? ¿Debemos abrir la puerta con los ojos bien cerrados sin ejercer discriminación alguna? B. H. Carroll nos recuerda: “Hay algunos espíritus que son de Dios. Hay una inspiración que no viene de Dios. Hay inspiración diabólica.”18Calvino dice: “Mantened el camino medio . . . el examen o la discriminación debe preceder al rechazo, así también debe preceder a la recepción de doctrinas verdaderas y sanas. . . . A veces los buenos y piadosos maestros no dan en el blanco.”19&nbsp;La palabra probar significa “demostrar o examinar.” La Nueva Biblia Inglesa dice: “tratar de determinar la autenticidad.” Y obsérvese la frase calificativa: “Todas las cosas.” La vigilancia en guardar “la fe que ha sido una vez para siempre entregada a los santos” (Judas 3) es una postura siempre necesaria. Nunca podemos relajar nuestra guardia ni bajar nuestras defensas. La historia de nuestra propia denominación Bautista del Sur nos enseña cuán rápidamente se puede perder la verdad.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El Dr. Jerry Vines ha escrito un excelente libro titulado&nbsp;\u003Cem>Spirit Works\u003C\u002Fem>.

Una vez que hemos puesto a prueba todas las cosas, debemos retener continuamente lo que es bueno. Pablo nos dice que nos aferremos a lo bueno y que nunca lo dejemos ir. El objeto inmediato de este ejercicio son las profecías. Algunos intérpretes creen que es legítimo extender el principio solo a todos los dones y actividades espirituales. Sin embargo, creo que Pablo no puso ninguna restricción a este mandamiento. El versículo 22 indica que estableció este ejercicio como una regla general de vida que debe aplicarse a todas las cosas. Cuando descubras algo bueno de Dios, guárdalo y consérvalo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sin embargo, el peligro no es tanto que lo dejes ir, sino que se te escape. En Cantares 2:15 se nos advierte acerca de los “zorros pequeños” que pueden colarse en la viña y estropear las vides. Salomón nos advierte acerca de las cosas pequeñas que pueden herir nuestro matrimonio, y todo el tiempo ni siquiera nos damos cuenta. Las cosas buenas de un matrimonio y una familia cristianos no deben ser sostenidas con ligereza ni de manera frívola. “Retened firmemente,” aferraos con fuerza y nunca dejéis ir esas cosas buenas que tenéis de Dios.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Absteneos completamente del mal 5:22\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Abstenerse es una palabra fuerte. Pablo la usó en 4:3 cuando les dijo a los tesalonicenses que se mantuvieran alejados de la inmoralidad sexual. La fuerza de este verbo se ve reforzada aún más por el uso que hace Pablo de una preposición que enfatiza la separación y por colocar esa preposición al principio del texto. Literalmente escribe: “De toda forma de mal absteneos.” La palabra “forma” es interesante. Hiebert señala que aunque el término “puede significar apariencias externas, también puede significar ‘clase, tipo, especie.’”21&nbsp; Lo más probable es que Pablo se refiera a toda clase de mal y no solo a toda apariencia externa de mal.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El mal nos llega en todo tipo de tamaños, formas y apariencias. Es un enemigo complejo. Aunque nunca cambia en su esencia, continuamente busca nuevas y atractivas formas, hechas a la medida de cada uno de nosotros. El mal te conoce desde el número de tu zapato hasta el de tu sombrero. Regularmente te evalúa para poder sorprenderte y derribarte.

Il se compose de plus de cinquante billions de cellules et son poids est constitué à environ soixante pour cent d’eau. Il fabrique trois cents millions de nouveaux globules rouges chaque jour et possède un cœur qui bat soixante-dix à quatre-vingts fois par minute, soit cent mille fois par jour. Sur soixante-dix ans, il pompe quatre cents millions de litres de sang. L’adulte moyen respire six à sept litres d’air par minute (imaginez la bouteille de Coca light d’un litre), soit environ dix mille litres par jour et 3 650 000 litres par an.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>D’autres faits intéressants incluent :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il y a environ cent milliards de neurones (cellules nerveuses) dans le cerveau. Nous naissons avec douze milliards de neurones qui ne se régénèrent pas lorsqu’ils meurent. Il y a cent mille miles de vaisseaux sanguins chez un adulte—suffisant pour faire quatre fois le tour de la Terre. L’œil humain cligne en moyenne vingt mille fois par jour. Le rein humain filtre dix-sept cents litres de sang toutes les vingt-quatre heures. Il y a assez de carbone dans votre corps pour remplir neuf cents crayons. Il y a environ soixante-quinze mille cheveux sur votre tête. Le muscle le plus fort de votre corps est la langue !\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Essentiels à la santé et au bien-être de ce don de Dieu sont trois facteurs importants : 1) le repos, 2) l’alimentation, et 3) l’exercice. Je m’intéresse particulièrement à l’exercice. Une rapide consultation de tout manuel de base d’anatomie ou même une visite à votre encyclopédie locale révèle des découvertes étonnantes sur l’exercice et la forme physique. Saviez-vous que pour que votre corps soit sain et bien réglé, il a besoin de 1) une condition physique de force, 2) une condition physique d’endurance, 3) une condition physique anaérobie, 4) une condition physique de vitesse, 5) une condition physique orthostatique, et même 6) une condition physique de relaxation ? Toutes ces conditions sont cruciales pour un corps sain, en forme et productif. « Le corps humain, comme tout organisme vivant, doit être utilisé, sinon il perd sa structure et sa fonction. »1 Comme le dit le proverbe, « Si vous ne l’utilisez pas, vous le perdez. »\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ce qui est vrai de la vie physique l’est également de la vie spirituelle. Notre personne intérieure, notre être spirituel, nécessite de l’attention et de l’exercice s’il veut être sain et productif. Pour être en forme et prêt au service, entraîné et bien réglé pour un ministère efficace, nous devons nous adonner à l’exercice spirituel. Il y a certaines disciplines que nous devons adopter comme les nôtres.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dans 1 Thessaloniciens 5:16-22, l’apôtre Paul attire notre attention sur huit exercices spirituels qui nous rendront forts pour le Seigneur. En des commandements courts mais puissants, nous sommes mis au défi de vivre nos vies d’une manière très spécifique et intentionnelle qui se conformera à la volonté de Dieu (v. 18). Chacun de ces huit exercices prend la forme d’un impératif. Dieu ne nous demande pas de considérer ces principes pour une adoption et une mise en œuvre éventuelles. Au contraire, c’est Sa volonté que ces activités deviennent une partie vitale de qui nous sommes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il est également intéressant de noter que les verbes de chaque verset sont au présent, appelant à une action continue. De plus, un modificateur adverbial précède le verbe dans chaque commandement. Cette position met l’accent sur ces modificateurs. Les versets 16-18 accordent une attention particulière à la vie intérieure du croyant, tandis que les versets 19-22 se concentrent davantage sur la vie de l’Église lorsqu’elle se rassemble pour le culte communautaire.2 Intérieurement et extérieurement, individuellement et collectivement, Paul nous fournit des exercices puissants pour nous permettre d’être spirituellement forts pour le Seigneur.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Exercices spirituels\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Se réjouir de manière constante 5:16\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le premier défi que nous recevons est de nous réjouir constamment. Paul aborde le sujet de la joie plus de deux douzaines de fois dans ses lettres. C’est le thème dominant de Philippiens où il nous dit : « Réjouissez-vous dans le Seigneur en tout temps. Je le redis : réjouissez-vous » (4:4). Dans 2 Corinthiens 6:10, il enseigne qu’il n’y a pas de contradiction à se réjouir quand nous sommes dans la tristesse. Néhémie 8:10 nous rappelle que « la joie de l’Éternel est votre force ». La joie est une marque de celui qui a fait l’expérience de la grâce transformante de Dieu par Jésus-Christ.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le mot « toujours » est un favori de Paul dans 1 Thessaloniciens. Il l’utilise quatre autres fois (1:2 ; 2:16 ; 3:6 ; 4:17). Il signifie « en toute occasion » ou « dans toute circonstance ». La joie n’est pas la même chose que le bonheur. La joie ne dépend pas de la situation dans laquelle nous nous trouvons. Certaines situations sont mauvaises et douloureuses. Elles font mal. La joie repose plutôt sur le fait que nous sommes en Christ et que ce que nous vivons est la volonté de Dieu pour nous (v. 18). Nous pouvons éprouver de la joie même lorsque nous sommes dans la tristesse. Les 23-24 juillet 1999, j’ai participé à une retraite pour hommes au magnifique Estes Park, près de Denver, Colorado. Une grande partie de notre temps a été consacrée à apprendre comment être de meilleurs maris et pères. Un monsieur, après notre session du samedi matin, m’a dit que sa famille lui était devenue encore plus précieuse ces dernières années parce qu’il avait perdu un fils des suites d’une maladie rénale quelques années plus tôt. Le fils n’avait que vingt-sept ans. Des larmes lui sont montées aux yeux en parlant, mais un doux sourire était également sur son visage tandis que nous réfléchissions au fait que ce fils, qui avait fait confiance au Christ comme Sauveur et Seigneur, ne ressentait plus la douleur et les graves limitations que sa maladie lui avait apportées. Pour lui, Philippiens 1:21 sonnait particulièrement vrai : « Car pour moi, vivre c’est Christ, et mourir est un gain. » Il y avait de la tristesse, mais il y avait aussi de la joie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Parce que nous appartenons au Christ et qu’Il accomplit Son dessein en nous et par nous, nous pouvons posséder une joie authentique. Nous pouvons être spirituellement magnétiques et contagieux. Nous pouvons bénir plutôt que maudire, encourager et non décevoir, donner de l’espoir plutôt que du désespoir.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dans la vie et surtout dans le ministère, nous devons exercer nos « muscles de la joie ». À mesure qu’ils se renforcent, nous développons une perspective optimiste, un sens de l’humour, un esprit charmant. Il y a un sourire plutôt qu’une grimace. Les gens quittent notre présence plus encouragés qu’à leur arrivée.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Priez sans cesse 5:17\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il existe un lien intime entre les versets 16 et 17, car la prière incessante produira presque toujours un cœur joyeux. Un cœur rempli de joie est le résultat d’un cœur libéré des fardeaux, et un cœur libéré des fardeaux est un cœur réconforté par la prière. John Calvin a dit : « par la prière, nous déchargeons nos anxiétés, pour ainsi dire, dans son sein. »3\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cependant, en raison d’un malentendu, ce verset est souvent une source de découragement plutôt que d’encouragement. Certaines personnes lisent le verset et concluent que Dieu attend d’elles d’une certaine manière qu’elles prient vingt-quatre heures sur vingt-quatre, sept jours sur sept. La prière, par des moyens miraculeux, devrait être une occupation instant après instant et seconde après seconde. Bien sûr, c’est impossible, et cela manque l’intention du texte.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le verset nous met au défi d’être constants et réguliers dans notre vie de prière. La prière doit être une habitude régulière, une compagne proche. La prière peut être comprise essentiellement comme un « exercice de respiration ». Quand nous inspirons, nous écoutons la voix de Dieu dans Sa Parole par l’illumination du Saint-Esprit. Quand nous expirons, nous parlons au Seigneur en partageant notre cœur, en lui disant ce qui nous préoccupe.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le mot pour prière « est un terme général qui implique une approche adoratrice de Dieu ».4 Il englobe tous les types de prière. Alors que nous essayons d’établir une bonne fondation dans ces exercices de base, je crois que nous devrions nous concentrer sur deux aspects particuliers de cet exercice et dans cet ordre : la louange et la supplication. Nous devons régulièrement venir en présence de notre Seigneur pour le louer, l’honorer, l’adorer pour qui Il est et pour tout ce qu’Il a fait. Nous le louons pour Sa personne et Son œuvre. Nous reconnaissons qu’Il est le seul Dieu et qu’Il est le seul digne d’être loué. Ensuite, nous pouvons nous approcher de Lui qui est Père pour Lui demander ce dont nous avons besoin et intercéder en faveur des autres.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Personne n’a abordé l’urgence de la prière avec plus de passion qu’Andrew Murray. Dans son classique \u003Cem>Le Ministère de l’Intercession\u003C\u002Fem>, il nous rappelle : « Le Christ voulait réellement que la prière soit la grande puissance par laquelle Son Église accomplirait son œuvre ; la négligence de la prière est la grande raison pour laquelle l’Église n’a pas une plus grande puissance sur les foules dans les pays chrétiens et païens. »5 Par conséquent,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Considérons sérieusement ce besoin. Chaque âme sans Christ descendra dans les ténèbres complètes, périssant de faim, bien qu’il y ait du pain en abondance. Des millions d’âmes inconnues meurent sans la connaissance de Christ. Des chrétiens tout autour de nous mènent une vie spirituelle malade, faible et stérile. Il y a sûrement un besoin de prière. Rien d’autre que la prière à Dieu pour obtenir de l’aide ne suffira.6\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La prière est cette conversation incroyable qui relie la terre au ciel et l’homme à Dieu. Je ne comprends pas tous ses mystères et comment il se fait que les prières d’humains finis peuvent émouvoir un Dieu infini et souverain. Beaucoup croient qu’un réveil de prière balaie notre pays. Récemment, le World Prayer Center de 5,5 millions de dollars a été ouvert à Colorado Springs dans le but de prier pour l’évangélisation mondiale. Aujourd’hui, il y a des marches de prière publiques, des marches de prière, des prières sur place et ce qui a été appelé la « prière de saturation ».\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En novembre 1998, plus de trois millions de personnes ont participé à la Conférence de trois jours de prière et de jeûne de Campus Crusade. Certains croient que nous pouvons identifier des résultats quantifiables de la prière. À Washington, D.C., 237 églises se sont réunies pour prier et la criminalité a apparemment chuté de dix-sept pour cent.7\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>J’admets que je ne sais pas trop quoi penser de tout cela. Ce que je sais, c’est que Dieu dit de prier, et quand je prie, je deviens plus fort spirituellement. Je suis béni et Dieu est satisfait. Je suis convaincu que la prière sera votre exercice le plus difficile. L’Écriture l’enseigne et ma propre expérience le confirme. Pourquoi ? Peut-être parce que nous ne parvenons pas à apprécier ou à comprendre le privilège incroyable que nous avons. Andrew Murray dit justement : « Dans toute l’Écriture, dans la vie de chaque saint, du propre Fils de Dieu, dans toute l’histoire de l’Église de Dieu, Dieu est, avant tout, un Dieu qui exauce la prière. »8 S’Il écoute toujours, et Il le fait, alors nous devrions toujours prier.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Rendez grâces de manière exhaustive 5:18\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Voici peut-être l’un des commandements les plus difficiles de la Bible à obéir. La demande semble absurde. Il doit y avoir une erreur. Et pourtant, elle est là : « en \u003Cem>toutes choses\u003C\u002Fem> rendez grâces. . . . » Cependant, c’est un endroit dans l’Écriture où nous n’osons pas nous arrêter trop vite. Nous devons prendre le verset dans toute sa plénitude. Comme Paul Harvey aime à le dire, nous devons lire « le reste de l’histoire ». Et que découvrons-nous ? « C’est \u003Cem>la\u003C\u002Fem> volonté de Dieu \u003Cem>en\u003C\u002Fem> Jésus-Christ pour vous. » Maintenant la clé est tournée. Maintenant la brume commence à se dissiper. Maintenant ma vue commence à s’éclaircir. Notez que nous devons rendre grâces \u003Cem>dans\u003C\u002Fem> toutes choses et non \u003Cem>pour\u003C\u002Fem> toutes choses. Dire merci que ma mère soit morte ? Dire merci que mes parents divorcent ? Dire merci pour le terrible accident qui a laissé mon frère dans le coma avec un corps meurtri et brisé ? Non ! Ce n’est pas ce que cela dit. Cela dit : « Rendez grâces \u003Cem>dans\u003C\u002Fem>. . . . » Faites appel à la perspective de Romains 8:28. Leon Morris l’exprime bien,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>. . . quand un homme en vient à voir que Dieu en Christ l’a sauvé, tout change. Il réalise maintenant que le dessein de Dieu s’accomplit. Il en voit la preuve dans sa propre vie et dans la vie de ceux qui l’entourent. Cela le conduit à penser que ce même dessein d’amour s’accomplit même dans les événements qu’il n’est pas du tout enclin à accueillir. Quand il en vient à voir la main de Dieu en toutes choses, il apprend à rendre grâces pour toutes choses. La tribulation est désagréable. Pourtant, qui, au milieu de la tribulation, ne rendrait pas grâces quand il sait que le Père qui l’aime tant n’a permis cette tribulation que pour que Son dessein sage et miséricordieux s’accomplisse ?9\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Calvin ajoute :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Car qu’y a-t-il de plus approprié ou de plus convenable pour nous apaiser que d’apprendre que Dieu nous embrasse en Christ avec tant de tendresse qu’il tourne à notre avantage et à notre bien tout ce qui nous arrive ? ... c’est un remède particulier pour corriger notre impatience — de détourner nos yeux de la vue des maux présents qui nous tourmentent et de diriger nos regards vers la considération d’une nature différente — comment Dieu se tient envers nous en Christ.10\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pour une personne perdue, dire « merci » pour tout est insensé. Pour l’enfant de Dieu, dire « merci » en tout est de la foi.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Désirer ardemment l’Esprit 5:19\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ce verset est traduit par « N’éteignez pas l’Esprit ». Le mot éteindre signifie « mettre dehors ». C’est le seul endroit dans le Nouveau Testament où le mot est utilisé de manière métaphorique. Un croyant ne peut pas perdre l’Esprit (Éph 1:13-14), mais il peut L’attrister (Éph 4:30) et L’éteindre. Dans ce verset, c’est l’œuvre, et non la personne, de l’Esprit qui est en vue. Éteindre l’Esprit, c’est éteindre, étouffer, retenir ou arrêter Son œuvre dans nos vies.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Depuis ses débuts, l’Église a lutté pour « bien faire » en ce qui concerne le ministère du Saint-Esprit. A. T. Robertson déplorait de son temps : « Aujourd’hui, il y a deux extrêmes concernant les dons spirituels (l’indifférence froide ou l’excès sauvage). »11 Warren Wiersbe nous avertit : « Le feu de l’Esprit ne doit pas s’éteindre sur l’autel de nos cœurs. »12 L’Esprit est un don de la grâce de Dieu reçu au salut. Nous sommes maintenant Son temple (1 Cor. 6:19-20). Jacques 4:5 enseigne que « L’Esprit qui habite en nous désire avec jalousie ». En réponse passionnée, nous devons aspirer à Lui, désirant Son activité pleine et sans entrave dans nos vies.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Honorer la prédication comme il faut 5:20\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Une façon dont nous pouvons éteindre l’Esprit est en méprisant la prédication de la Parole. « Ne méprisez pas ces paroles » est la façon dont B. H. Carroll, premier président du Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, rend ce verset. Apparemment, la prédication souffrait de la même chose au premier siècle qu’aujourd’hui : un manque de respect. Quel était le problème, demandons-nous ? De fausses prophéties ? Une prédication peu impressionnante ? Le don n’était pas assez spectaculaire ? Il était trop spectaculaire ? Nous ne le savons pas avec certitude. Ce que nous savons, c’est que la prédication de la Parole est « la puissance de Dieu » (1 Cor 1:18), qu’elle convainc et qu’elle condamne (1 Cor 14:24), qu’elle est ce qui vient « avec puissance, avec le Saint-Esprit et avec une grande assurance » (1 Thess 1:5). Calvin brosse un tableau réaliste de son époque quand il écrit : « Beaucoup se dégoûtent du simple nom de prédication, car il y a tant de personnes insensées et ignorantes qui, de la chaire, débitent leurs inventions sans valeur. »13 Cependant, il ajoute : « Mais le Seigneur déclare en ce lieu par la bouche de Paul que le cours de la doctrine ne doit pas, par quelque faute des hommes, ou par quelque témérité, ou ignorance, ou, enfin, par quelque abus, être empêché d’être toujours dans un état vigoureux dans l’Église. »14\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La prédication continue d’être attaquée de nos jours. Parfois, l’attaque vient même de l’intérieur du camp évangélique. L’exposition a particulièrement été la cible de nombreux ministres modernes qui croient que nous devons le dire à la manière du monde si nous voulons que le monde entende. Calvin Miller de la Beeson Divinity School est un grand défenseur et évangéliste de la prédication narrative par opposition à l’exposition. Il dit : « Puisque nous sommes une culture imprégnée d’histoires, prêcher d’une autre manière ne va tout simplement pas attirer les gens. »15 Selon \u003Cem>The Futurist\u003C\u002Fem>, les travailleurs les plus valorisés du nouveau siècle seront des conteurs. Tout professionnel – publicitaire, enseignant, politicien, entrepreneur, athlète ou ministre – sera valorisé pour sa capacité à inventer des histoires qui captivent un public.16\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Puis-je suggérer quelques principes à suivre, qui reconnaîtront l’élément de vérité dans l’approche narrative mais n’embrasseront pas son erreur ? Premièrement, c’est un péché de rendre la Bible ennuyeuse. Paige Patterson a raison quand il dit : « Les critiques que j’entends à propos de la prédication expositoire sont, en réalité, des critiques sur la ‘prédication ennuyeuse’. La plus grande prédication sur la terre est toujours une exposition captivante, prophétique, vivifiante et honorant Christ. »17 Deuxièmement, quand la Bible raconte une histoire, alors racontez l’histoire. Quand elle enseigne la doctrine, alors enseignez la doctrine. Soyez fidèle au texte et montrez à votre congrégation quel grand Dieu nous adorons. Prêchez avec passion, zèle et énergie. Honorez l’exhortation de Paul à « Prêcher la Parole » (2 Tim 4:2).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Vivre la vie avec sagesse 5:21\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Nous ne devons pas mépriser la prédication, la prophétie, la proclamation de la parole de Dieu par Ses prophètes. Cependant, une question se pose naturellement : Tout est-il permis ? Devons-nous ouvrir la porte les yeux grands fermés, sans exercer aucune discrimination ? B. H. Carroll nous rappelle : « Il y a des esprits qui viennent de Dieu. Il y a une inspiration qui ne vient pas de Dieu. Il y a une inspiration diabolique. »18Calvin dit : « Gardez le juste milieu… l’examen ou la discrimination doit précéder le rejet, de même qu’il doit précéder l’acceptation des doctrines vraies et saines… Parfois de bons et pieux enseignants manquent le but. »19&nbsp;Le mot « tester » signifie « prouver ou examiner ». La New English Bible dit : « essayer de déterminer l’authenticité ». Et notez la phrase qualificative : « Toutes choses ». La vigilance pour garder « la foi qui a été transmise aux saints une fois pour toutes » (Jude 3) est une posture toujours nécessaire. Nous ne pouvons jamais relâcher notre garde ou baisser nos défenses. L’histoire de notre propre dénomination baptiste du Sud nous enseigne à quelle vitesse la vérité peut être perdue.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le Dr Jerry Vines a écrit un excellent livre intitulé&nbsp;\u003Cem>L’Œuvre de l’Esprit\u003C\u002Fem>. Il examine la théologie et la pratique du mouvement charismatique moderne à la lumière des Écritures. Dans ce livre, le Dr Vines fournit un certain nombre de tests pour discerner l’authenticité de certaines activités spirituelles.20&nbsp;Je voudrais suivre son exemple et proposer un test en quatre points qui peut nous aider dans cet exercice crucial de vivre sagement.

Une fois que nous avons mis toutes choses à l’épreuve, nous devons continuellement retenir fermement ce qui est bon. Paul nous dit de nous accrocher à ce qui est bon et de ne jamais le lâcher. L’objet immédiat de cet exercice concerne les prophéties. Certains interprètes croient qu’il est légitime d’étendre le principe uniquement à tous les dons et activités spirituels. Je crois, cependant, que Paul n’a imposé aucune restriction à ce commandement. Le verset 22 indique qu’il a présenté cet exercice comme une règle de vie générale à appliquer à toutes choses. Quand vous découvrez une bonne chose venant de Dieu, gardez-la et conservez-la.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cependant, le danger n’est pas tant que vous la laissiez aller, mais que vous la laissiez échapper. Dans le Cantique des Cantiques 2:15, nous sommes avertis des « petits renards » qui peuvent s’introduire dans la vigne et gâter les vignes. Salomon nous avertit des petites choses qui peuvent blesser notre mariage, et tout cela sans même que nous nous en rendions compte. Les bonnes choses d’un mariage et d’une famille chrétiens ne doivent pas être tenues légèrement ou de manière frivole. « Retenez fermement », tenez serré, et ne lâchez jamais les bonnes choses que vous avez reçues de Dieu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Abstenez-vous complètement du mal 5:22\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>« S’abstenir » est un mot fort. Paul l’a utilisé en 4:3 quand il a dit aux Thessaloniciens de s’éloigner de l’immoralité sexuelle. La force de ce verbe est encore renforcée par l’utilisation par Paul d’une préposition qui souligne la séparation et en plaçant cette préposition en premier dans le texte. Littéralement, il écrit : « De toute forme de mal, abstenez-vous. » Le mot « forme » est intéressant. Hiebert souligne que bien que le terme « puisse signifier les apparences extérieures, il peut aussi signifier “sorte, genre, espèce” ».21&nbsp;Très probablement, Paul veut dire toute sorte de mal plutôt que seulement toute apparence extérieure de mal.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le mal nous vient sous toutes sortes de tailles, de formes et d’aspects. C’est un ennemi complexe. Bien qu’il ne change jamais dans son essence, il cherche continuellement de nouvelles formes séduisantes, taillées sur mesure pour chacun de nous. Le mal vous connaît de la pointure de vos chaussures à la taille de votre chapeau. Il vous jauge régulièrement afin de vous surprendre et de vous terrasser. Résister à son assaut et à sa tromperie perpétuels exige une préparation et une vigilance perpétuelles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ce qui est une forme particulièrement attrayante de mal pour vous peut ne pas l’être pour moi. Là où je suis faible, vous pouvez être fort. Là où je suis fort, vous pouvez être faible. Cependant, nous avons tous des faiblesses, nous avons tous des zones de vulnérabilité. C’est particulièrement dans ces domaines (peut-être les yeux, la bouche, les mains, l’esprit, le cœur ou la volonté) que vous devez quotidiennement vous exercer à « vous abstenir complètement du mal ».\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Edmund Burke a dit,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les cas sont extrêmement rares d’hommes passant immédiatement d’une ligne clairement tracée de la vertu à un vice et une corruption déclarés.

Et en devenant des habitudes, ils façonneront notre caractère. Et en façonnant notre caractère, ils façonneront véritablement notre destinée en tant que ceux qui ont vécu avec force pour le Seigneur tout au long d’une vie. Il ne suffit pas de bien commencer.

아마도 우리가 누리고 있는 놀라운 특권을 제대로 깨닫거나 이해하지 못하기 때문일 것입니다. 앤드루 머리는 옳게 말했습니다. “성경 전체에서, 모든 성도의 삶에서, 하나님의 아들의 삶에서, 하나님 교회의 역사를 통해, 하나님은 무엇보다도 기도를 들으시는 하나님이시다.”8 그분이 항상 들으신다면, 우리도 항상 기도해야 합니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>범사에 감사하라 5:18\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>이것은 성경에서 지키기 가장 어려운 명령 중 하나일 것입니다. 그 요구는 터무니없어 보입니다. 분명히 실수가 있을 것입니다. 그런데도 거기 있습니다. “범사에 감사하라….” 그러나 여기서 우리는 너무 빨리 멈추지 말아야 합니다. 이 구절을 온전히 읽어야 합니다. 폴 하비가 즐겨 말하듯이, “나머지 이야기”를 읽어야 합니다. 그러면 무엇을 발견합니까? “이는 그리스도 예수 안에서 너희를 향하신 하나님의 뜻이니라.” 이제 열쇠가 돌아갑니다. 안개가 걷히기 시작합니다. 시야가 맑아집니다. 우리는 모든 일에 감사하되, 모든 일 때문에 감사하는 것이 아닙니다. “어머니가 돌아가셨으니 감사합니다”라고 말해야 합니까? “부모님이 이혼하시니 감사합니다”라고 말해야 합니까? “형제가 끔찍한 사고로 혼수상태에 빠지고 몸이 망가졌으니 감사합니다”라고 말해야 합니까? 아닙니다! 그것은 그렇게 말하지 않습니다. “범사에… 감사하라”고 합니다. 로마서 8:28의 관점을 도움으로 삼으십시오. 레온 모리스는 잘 표현했습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>. . . 사람이 하나님께서 그리스도 안에서 자기를 구원하셨다는 것을 깨닫게 될 때, 모든 것이 달라진다. 그는 이제 하나님의 목적이 이루어지고 있음을 깨닫는다. 그는 자신의 삶과 주변 사람들의 삶에서 그 증거를 본다. 이는 그가 전혀 환영하고 싶지 않은 사건들 속에서도 동일한 사랑의 목적이 이루어지고 있다는 생각으로 이어진다. 그가 모든 일에서 하나님의 손길을 보게 될 때, 그는 모든 일에 감사하는 법을 배운다. 환난은 불쾌하다. 그러나 환난 가운데서도, 자기를 그토록 크게 사랑하시는 아버지께서 그분의 지혜롭고 자비로운 목적이 이루어지도록 하기 위해 그 환난을 허락하셨다는 것을 아는 사람은, 누가 환난 중에 감사하지 않겠는가?9\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>칼빈은 덧붙여 말한다:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>하나님께서 그리스도 안에서 우리를 그토록 다정하게 품으셔서, 우리에게 닥치는 모든 것을 우리의 유익과 복으로 바꾸신다는 것을 배울 때, 우리를 평안하게 하는 데 이보다 더 적합하고 알맞은 것이 무엇이겠는가? … 이것은 우리의 조급함을 바로잡는 특별한 치료제이다. 즉, 우리를 괴롭히는 현재의 악을 바라보는 눈길을 돌려, 하나님께서 그리스도 안에서 우리를 향해 어떻게 마음을 품고 계신지를 생각하는 데로 시선을 돌리는 것이다.10\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>잃어버린 자가 모든 일에 “감사합니다”라고 말하는 것은 어리석은 일이다. 하나님의 자녀가 모든 일에 “감사합니다”라고 말하는 것은 믿음이다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>성령을 간절히 사모하라 5:19\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>이 구절은 “성령을 소멸하지 말라”고 번역된다. “소멸하다”라는 말은 “끄다”라는 의미이다. 신약에서 이 단어가 비유적으로 사용된 것은 이곳뿐이다. 신자는 성령을 잃을 수 없지만(엡 1:13-14), 성령을 근심하게 할 수 있고(엡 4:30), 소멸시킬 수도 있다. 이 구절에서 말하는 것은 성령의 인격이 아니라 사역이다. 성령을 소멸한다는 것은 그분의 사역을 우리 삶에서 꺼버리고, 억누르고, 제지하거나, 멈추게 하는 것이다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>교회는 시작부터 성령의 사역에 관해 “바르게 행하는 것”에 어려움을 겪어왔다.

B. H. 캐롤, 사우스웨스턴 침례신학교의 초대 총장은 이 구절을 “이 말씀들을 멸시하지 말라”고 번역한다. 분명히 1세기에도 오늘날과 마찬가지로 설교가 존중받지 못하는 문제를 겪었다. 문제는 무엇이었을까? 거짓 예언? 인상적이지 않은 설교? 그 은사가 충분히 화려하지 않았는가? 아니면 너무 화려했는가? 우리는 확실히 알지 못한다. 우리가 아는 것은 말씀의 설교가 “하나님의 능력”이며(고전 1:18), 확신과 정죄를 가져오고(고전 14:24), “능력과 성령과 큰 확신으로” 임한다는 것이다(살전 1:5). 칼빈은 자신의 시대를 현실적으로 묘사하며 이렇게 썼다. “많은 사람이 설교라는 이름 자체를 혐오한다. 왜냐하면 어리석고 무지한 사람들이 강단에서 그들의 무가치한 생각을 지껄이기 때문이다.”13 그러나 그는 계속해서 덧붙인다. “그러나 주님께서는 이곳에서 바울의 입을 통해, 인간의 잘못이나 경솔함, 무지, 혹은 어떤 남용으로도 교회에서 말씀이 항상 활기차게 유지되는 것을 막아서는 안 된다고 선언하신다.”14\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>오늘날에도 설교는 계속해서 공격받고 있다. 때로는 복음주의 진영 내부에서도 공격이 온다. 특히 해석적 설교는, 세상이 듣게 하려면 세상의 방식으로 말해야 한다고 믿는 많은 현대 목회자들의 표적이 되어왔다. 비슨 신학교의 칼빈 밀러는 해석적 설교보다 서사적 설교를 강력하게 옹호하고 전파하는 인물이다. 그는 “우리는 이야기로 물든 문화이므로, 다른 방식으로 설교하는 것은 사람들을 끌어들이지 못할 것이다”라고 말한다.15 《퓨처리스트》에 따르면, 새로운 세기에서 가장 가치 있는 일꾼은 이야기꾼이 될 것이다. 광고인, 교사, 정치인, 기업가, 운동선수, 목회자 등 어떤 전문가든지 청중을 사로잡는 이야기를 만들어 내는 능력으로 평가받을 것이다.16\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>서사적 접근의 진리를 인정하면서도 그 오류를 받아들이지 않기 위해 따를 수 있는 몇 가지 원칙을 제안하고자 한다. 첫째, 성경을 지루하게 만드는 것은 죄이다. 페이지 패터슨이 옳게 말했듯이, “내가 해석적 설교에 대해 듣는 비판은 사실 ‘지루한 설교’에 대한 비판이다. 이 땅에서 가장 위대한 설교는 여전히 매혹적이고, 예언적이며, 활기차고, 그리스도를 높이는 해석적 설교이다.”17 둘째, 성경이 이야기를 하면 그 이야기를 전하고, 교리를 가르치면 교리를 가르쳐라. 본문에 충실하고, 회중에게 우리가 예배하는 하나님이 얼마나 위대하신지를 보여 주라. 열정과 열심과 에너지로 설교하라. 바울의 권면을 존중하여 “말씀을 전파하라”(딤후 4:2).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>지혜롭게 살아라 5:21\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>우리는 설교, 예언, 하나님의 선지자들에 의한 하나님 말씀의 선포를 멸시해서는 안 됩니다. 그러나 자연스럽게 한 가지 질문이 생깁니다: 아무 것이나 받아들여도 되는가? 우리는 눈을 감은 채로 아무런 분별 없이 문을 열어야 하는가? B. H.

New English Bible은 “진위를 판별하라”고 번역합니다. 그리고 한정 구절에 주목하십시오: “모든 것을.” “성도들에게 단번에 전해진 믿음”(유다서 3절)을 지키는 경계는 언제나 필요한 자세입니다. 우리는 결코 경계를 늦추거나 방어를 풀어서는 안 됩니다. 우리 남침례교단의 역사는 진리가 얼마나 빨리 상실될 수 있는지를 가르쳐 줍니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>제리 바인스 박사는 《성령의 역사》라는 훌륭한 책을 썼습니다. 이 책은 성경의 빛 아래서 현대 은사주의 운동의 신학과 실천을 검토합니다. 그 책에서 바인스 박사는 특정한 영적 활동의 진위를 분별하기 위한 여러 가지 시험을 제시합니다.20&nbsp;저는 그의 안내를 따라 이 중요한 분별의 과정을 돕기 위해 네 가지 시험을 제안하고자 합니다. 이것은 무오하지는 않지만, 매우 유익하다고 믿습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>1.구주 시험 (참조 요한일서 4:1-3): 그것이 예수님의 인격과 사역을 적절히 존귀하게 하고 높이는가?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>2.성경 시험: 이 가르침이 이 주제에 관하여 성경 전체의 가르침과 교리와 일치하는가? 이 가르침이 하나님의 말씀을 빼거나 더하려고 하는가?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>3.성령 시험: 이 가르침이 말씀에 계시된 성령의 분명한 소원과 사역과 일치하는가?

In both instances, depression may cause abnormal sleep and eating habits.&nbsp;There is often a lack of energy and concentration and&nbsp;excessive feelings of worthlessness and guilt.&nbsp;There can also be a number of vague physical complaints such as generalized muscle aches.&nbsp;If several of these types of symptoms have persisted steadily for more than a&nbsp;couple of weeks, they may be indications that you have depression that needs professional intervention.

Por ejemplo, si crees que Dios es justo y amoroso, incluso cuando la vida es dura, entonces quiz&aacute;s puedas manejar mejor las dolorosas emociones de ira, tristeza y depresi&oacute;n.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Deber&iacute;as comenzar por encontrar la verdad en tu vida espiritual, pero algunos especialistas dicen que la depresi&oacute;n puede ser generada por una serie de p&eacute;rdidas, como perder tu trabajo o buena salud, o tal vez un mejor amigo o ser querido.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Algunos de estos factores, como la p&eacute;rdida de esperanza, por ejemplo, pueden dar lugar a un tipo de depresi&oacute;n que a menudo se puede cambiar identificando primero: c&oacute;mo ves el mundo y c&oacute;mo esa visi&oacute;n del mundo afecta tu estado de &aacute;nimo, a menudo cambiando tu forma de actuar y reaccionar, de acuerdo con las creencias b&aacute;sicas apropiadas puede ayudar a disminuir e incluso prevenir la depresi&oacute;n.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&iquest;Tengo depresi&oacute;n? Estar deprimido puede considerarse como un estado de emoci&oacute;n temporal y din&aacute;mico.

Tener depresi&oacute;n, sin embargo, es mucho m&aacute;s complejo. Se caracteriza por una serie de s&iacute;ntomas diferentes, incluida la tristeza que no responde f&aacute;cilmente al cambio y c&oacute;mo pensamos.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&iquest;Qu&eacute; sucede cuando alguien tiene pensamientos terribles? . . &iquest;Por una larga duraci&oacute;n? Con frecuencia, puede haber pensamientos cr&oacute;nicos de p&eacute;rdida y \u002F o muerte. A menudo hay indicadores cuando el cuerpo, particularmente el cerebro, se ha visto afectado. Dos indicadores de esto son: alteraci&oacute;n persistente en el sue&ntilde;o y el apetito. En ambos casos, la depresi&oacute;n puede causar sue&ntilde;o anormal y h&aacute;bitos alimenticios. A menudo hay una falta de energ&iacute;a y concentraci&oacute;n y sentimientos excesivos de inutilidad y culpa. Tambi&eacute;n puede haber una serie de quejas f&iacute;sicas vagas, como dolores musculares generalizados. Si varios de estos tipos de s&iacute;ntomas han persistido de manera constante durante m&aacute;s de un par de semanas, pueden ser indicios de que tiene depresi&oacute;n y necesita intervenci&oacute;n profesional. Si esto lo describe, consulte con su m&eacute;dico. Podr&iacute;a haber cualquier cantidad de irregularidades m&eacute;dicas que contribuyen a la depresi&oacute;n que deben evaluarse. Algunas de estas condiciones incluyen irregularidades hormonales y cardiovasculares.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Al descartar diferentes factores, puede ser necesario que el cerebro necesite atenci&oacute;n m&eacute;dica mediante el uso de medicamentos antidepresivos. Nuevamente, esta es una decisi&oacute;n que debe tomarse en la consulta con su familia, pastor y profesional m&eacute;dico. Si tiene depresi&oacute;n, es importante involucrarse en una relaci&oacute;n de asesoramiento con alguien que se especialice en el tratamiento de la depresi&oacute;n cl&iacute;nica. Aunque el viaje puede ser largo y dif&iacute;cil, es posible reducir o eliminar la depresi&oacute;n y volverse m&aacute;s resistente a sus efectos.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>II Ideas:\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Aqu&iacute; hay un par de ideas que le encaminaran en el camino correcto: Mant&eacute;ngase alejado de los alimentos malos (como panes blancos, az&uacute;cares y cafe&iacute;na).

En la protecci&oacute;n de nuestra sociedad donde las respuestas son la droga, nos encontramos cara a cara con la fragilidad de la vida, sentimos compasi&oacute;n y volvemos a los negocios como siempre. La realidad es que nosotros tambi&eacute;n estamos en el camino de las devastaciones de la vida.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Es doloroso incluso considerar las tragedias que nos pueden ocurrir. Sin embargo, el sufrimiento llega a todos sin prejuicios ... en lo justo e injusto.1 Cuando nos enfrentamos al dolor del rechazo, el vac&iacute;o de la p&eacute;rdida, la mordedura del dolor f&iacute;sico, la ruptura del arrepentimiento o la traici&oacute;n de la violaci&oacute;n, nos tambaleamos en la estela. El dolor y el miedo mezclados con la confusi&oacute;n generan una letan&iacute;a de preguntas que no tienen respuestas aparentes y el silencio mortal de Dios solo sirve para apretar el control del sufrimiento. Y aun as&iacute; seguimos preguntando. Al igual que Job, queremos lo que est&aacute; fuera de nuestro alcance: alivio instant&aacute;neo y que Dios se explique a s&iacute; mismo. Incluso si Dios proporcionara respuestas, &iquest;las aceptar&iacute;amos realmente como justificaci&oacute;n de nuestro sufrimiento?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&nbsp;&nbsp;Nuestra navegaci&oacute;n interna: Lo fundamental\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>La ventana principal al sistema interno de uno es la reacci&oacute;n a la dificultad. Por lo tanto, el sufrimiento no crea nuestra actitud, lo revela. Por lo general, podemos absorber las aflicciones, pero cuando nuestro mundo interno se agita, el crisol de la calamidad destruye nuestras creencias sobre la vida. Tres de estas creencias que deben evaluarse son: Merezco tranquilidad y comodidad en la vida, el mundo debe ser predecible y el mundo debe ser justo.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Merezco tranquilidad y comodidad\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nuestra naturaleza nos obliga a buscar placer, comodidad y tranquilidad. Pero la vida va en contra de nuestros deseos. Considere la oraci&oacute;n inicial del libro de Scott Peck, El camino menos transitado, \"La vida es dif&iacute;cil ...\" El comediante Jerry Seinfeld observ&oacute; que quiz&aacute;s el camino menos transitado es menos transitado por una buena raz&oacute;n. &Eacute;l estaba en lo correcto. Nuestro impulso por el placer busca una ruta fluida y sin problemas.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No hay nada intr&iacute;nsecamente malo con las comodidades y la tranquilidad de la criatura. El problema es que los exigimos y cuando perdemos comodidad y tranquilidad, asumimos que Dios no es bueno. Incluso Job cuestion&oacute; la bondad de Dios acus&aacute;ndolo de maltratarlo. En otras palabras, si estoy inc&oacute;modo e infeliz, Dios NO es bueno. C. S. Lewis escribi&oacute;: &ldquo;Si Dios fuera bueno, desear&iacute;a hacer felices a sus criaturas, y si Dios fuera todopoderoso, podr&iacute;a hacer lo que deseara. Pero las criaturas no son felices.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>por lo tanto, Dios carece de bondad, o de poder, o de ambos. &rdquo;4 Corrie ten Boom, el famoso sobreviviente de Ravensbruck, entendi&oacute; profundamente la bondad de Dios. Ella escribi&oacute; &ldquo;&hellip; Dios es bueno cuando env&iacute;a buen clima. Pero Dios tambi&eacute;n fue bueno cuando permiti&oacute; que mi hermana Betsie muriera de hambre ante mis ojos en el campo de concentraci&oacute;n alem&aacute;n \".\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mientras supongamos que la vida debe ser c&oacute;moda, nunca llegaremos a aceptar las pruebas y la adversidad como algo normal, incluso aquellos considerados no merecidos. En lugar de mirar a Dios, confiaremos en nuestras propias estrategias para encontrar consuelo nuevamente. Si no tiene &eacute;xito, nos revolcaremos en la autocompasi&oacute;n y la miseria.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>El mundo debe ser ordenado y predecible\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nuestra naturaleza asume que las realidades no f&iacute;sicas son ordenadas y predecibles, que la desgracia no es casual y que los eventos son principalmente positivos en el resultado. Sabemos de la miseria en el mundo, pero distinguimos de forma innata entre el \"mundo en general\" y \"nuestro mundo\". La forma en que vivimos en nuestro mundo transmite la sensaci&oacute;n de que tenemos poco valor para el mundo invisible. Es la medida de nuestra realidad que ocupa nuestros pensamientos. Tratar los problemas como una cuesti&oacute;n de habilidad o elecci&oacute;n, y reducir los problemas a un tama&ntilde;o manejable se siente m&aacute;s reconfortante que considerar los prop&oacute;sitos m&aacute;s profundos de Dios. Por lo tanto, la vida se reduce a una serie de pasos, con causa y efecto. La suposici&oacute;n es que podemos controlar directamente lo que nos sucede a trav&eacute;s de nuestro propio comportamiento.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Debido a que el esfuerzo, la pr&aacute;ctica o la planificaci&oacute;n tienen un efecto en los resultados que podemos controlar, creemos que tambi&eacute;n pueden determinar los resultados casuales. La investigaci&oacute;n indica que las personas asumen que tienen m&aacute;s control de sus vidas de lo que realmente tienen. Aquellos que piensan que son capitanes de su propio barco, viven con una ilusi&oacute;n de seguridad. Sabemos que suceden cosas malas; pero en nuestro interior creemos que estamos exentos. Creemos que podemos controlar la vida y que nuestras estrategias nos protegen. Incluso en medio de la adversidad, nos aferramos tenazmente a esta suposici&oacute;n porque, si no es cierto, entonces nosotros tambi&eacute;n podemos experimentar dificultades al azar. Por lo tanto, vivir bien es la estrategia, y disciplina y diligencia la f&oacute;rmula.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Buscamos comprender la distribuci&oacute;n de lo bueno y lo malo y, al servicio del orden y la previsibilidad, imponemos consecuencias aparentemente naturales entre las personas y lo que experimentan. Un estudio mostr&oacute; diferentes finales del regreso de una mujer a su hogar en dos grupos.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;El grupo que vio a la mujer llegar a casa sin incidentes no observ&oacute; comportamientos riesgosos, pero el grupo que vio a la mujer atacada inform&oacute; que no ejerci&oacute; precauci&oacute;n. Para proteger la ilusi&oacute;n de que nuestro mundo es predecible y, por lo tanto, controlable, culpamos de imponer una ilusi&oacute;n de control. Lo impredecible de un evento desaf&iacute;a esa ilusi&oacute;n, lo que resulta en confusi&oacute;n, p&aacute;nico y desesperaci&oacute;n. Debido a que un mundo predecible requiere un orden l&oacute;gico, cuando no podemos razonar causa y efecto, el sufrimiento se vuelve aleatorio e impredecible. En medio del sufrimiento exigimos explicaci&oacute;n y justificaci&oacute;n para nuestro dolor. Sin estos, llegamos a la conclusi&oacute;n de que no se puede confiar en Dios y d&eacute;bilmente volver a intentar controlar. En nuestras mentes y corazones, Dios es confiable solo en la medida en que las cosas van como esperamos que vayan.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>El mundo debe ser justo\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nuestro sentido innato de justicia se ve empa&ntilde;ado por el pecado. Transformamos la justicia en una f&oacute;rmula en la que las personas obtienen lo que se merecen y merecen lo que obtienen. En nuestro mundo, la decencia individual y la bondad determinan lo que le sucede a una persona. Al igual que nuestra necesidad de orden y previsibilidad, esto tambi&eacute;n nos ayuda a minimizar el papel de la aleatoriedad.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Como adultos, sabemos que nuestro mundo no es justo y que seremos tratados injustamente. Por lo tanto, no esperamos justicia, sino que se nos trate de manera diferente; para recibir un tratamiento que definimos como justo. La investigaci&oacute;n encontr&oacute; que las personas quieren misericordia cuando transgreden, pero desean represalias cuando se les hace da&ntilde;o. El trato injusto percibido nos hace erizar con desprecio por nuestros delincuentes; incluso para Dios Nuestra tendencia a dudar de la justicia de Dios no es racional, sino emocional.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Ayudar a los aconsejados a entender las cosas sin sentido\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nuestro sistema interno no puede acomodar aberraciones. Ante la aberraci&oacute;n, se pierde la comodidad y la complacencia proporcionadas por nuestra gu&iacute;a interna. La nueva pieza del rompecabezas no encaja en nuestro sistema, no importa cu&aacute;nto nos esforcemos. Por lo tanto, debemos modificar completamente nuestro sistema para avanzar.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A ra&iacute;z del trauma, las personas buscan asesoramiento para aumentar su sentido de control. Pero como consejeros, los problemas que nos traen no tienen respuestas claras. Nos enfrentamos a la paradoja, la ambivalencia y la ira. Debemos explorar la polaridad del coraz&oacute;n humano, posponer respuestas r&aacute;pidas y asegurarnos de que se reconozca la complejidad de la nueva realidad. Es a trav&eacute;s del di&aacute;logo sobre las preguntas y el dolor del aconsejado que llega la curaci&oacute;n. Debemos resistirnos a ser tomados como rehenes por su grito de certeza. Valorar la lucha, entretener preguntas enloquecedoras y trabajar con dolor intolerable es dif&iacute;cil. Nuestro propio instinto tambi&eacute;n puede movernos hacia temas seguros, para buscar recetas instant&aacute;neas, para detener el sangrado. Debemos aprender a valorar la lucha por la prescripci&oacute;n, las preguntas por las respuestas, la ansiedad por la comodidad y el deseo por la satisfacci&oacute;n.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ayudar a Dios significa estar completamente presente con los que sufren.

S&eacute; paciente al invitarlos por el camino traicionero de curaci&oacute;n que los lleva a trav&eacute;s de la fealdad del alma. Su miedo abrumador puede paralizarlos. El camino hacia la curaci&oacute;n es menos obvio que una f&oacute;rmula o plan de acci&oacute;n. Es m&aacute;s extenuante e incierto.

Deux indicateurs de cela sont : une perturbation persistante du sommeil et de l’appétit. Dans les deux cas, la dépression peut provoquer des habitudes anormales de sommeil et d’alimentation. Il y a souvent un manque d’énergie et de concentration, ainsi que des sentiments excessifs d’inutilité et de culpabilité. Il peut aussi y avoir un certain nombre de plaintes physiques vagues, comme des douleurs musculaires généralisées. Si plusieurs de ces types de symptômes persistent régulièrement pendant plus de quelques semaines, ils peuvent indiquer que vous souffrez d’une dépression nécessitant une intervention professionnelle. Si cela vous décrit, consultez votre médecin. Il pourrait y avoir un certain nombre d’irrégularités médicales contribuant à la dépression qui doivent être évaluées.

Si vous souffrez de dépression, il est important de vous engager dans une relation de counseling avec quelqu’un qui se spécialise dans le traitement de la dépression clinique.

Sadness subsides in a relatively timely manner while depression lingers for what seems to be eternity for those inflicted with it. Diagnostic criteria for depression include, but not limited to, feelings of sadness, decrease in appetite, sleep disturbance, feelings of worthlessness and despair, difficulty concentrating, thinking, staying focused, and impairment in social, occupational, or other areas of important functioning (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 2000). These symptoms persist for two weeks or longer and progressively worsen if left untreated, sometimes leading to suicidal thoughts. Sadness comes from an emotional reaction to life events and can turn into depression. Depression can be related to biological or environmental factors. Recognizing the difference between a period of sadness and a bout of depression can mean the difference between life and death.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sadness is a natural response to events while depression becomes a state of mind.

The devil tries to use our weaknesses (self doubt, self loathing, distorted thinking, ect.) against us yet the Bible states, “be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His power. Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” Eph 6:10-11.

As for shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace. With all of these, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

Seek Godly counsel from someone you trust, and get into counseling with a Christian Counselor, do not let the devil convince you that you are alone, that no one will understand, your problems are too great, others will judge, or that you are worthless.

La tristeza desaparece de manera relativamente oportuna, mientras que la depresi&oacute;n persiste por lo que parece ser la eternidad para quienes la padecen. Los criterios de diagn&oacute;stico para la depresi&oacute;n incluyen, entre otros, sentimientos de tristeza, disminuci&oacute;n del apetito, trastornos del sue&ntilde;o, sentimientos de inutilidad y desesperaci&oacute;n, dificultad para concentrarse, pensar, mantenerse enfocado e impedimento en &aacute;reas sociales, ocupacionales u otras &aacute;reas de funcionamiento importante ( Manual diagn&oacute;stico y estad&iacute;stico de los trastornos mentales, 2000). Estos s&iacute;ntomas persisten durante dos semanas o m&aacute;s y empeoran progresivamente si no se tratan, lo que a veces conduce a pensamientos suicidas. La tristeza proviene de una reacci&oacute;n emocional a los acontecimientos de la vida y puede convertirse en depresi&oacute;n. La depresi&oacute;n puede estar relacionada con factores biol&oacute;gicos o ambientales.

La gente deja nuestra presencia m&aacute;s alentada que cuando llegaron por primera vez.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Orar sin cesar 5:17\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Hay una conexi&oacute;n &iacute;ntima entre los vers&iacute;culos 16 y 17, porque la oraci&oacute;n incesante casi siempre producir&aacute; un coraz&oacute;n alegre. Un coraz&oacute;n lleno de gozo es el resultado de un coraz&oacute;n libre de cargas, y un coraz&oacute;n libre de cargas es un coraz&oacute;n consolado por la oraci&oacute;n. John Calvin dijo: \"mediante la oraci&oacute;n descargamos nuestras ansiedades, por as&iacute; decirlo, en su seno\". 3\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Sin embargo, debido a un malentendido, este vers&iacute;culo es a menudo una fuente de des&aacute;nimo m&aacute;s que de aliento. Algunas personas leen el vers&iacute;culo y concluyen que Dios de alguna manera espera que est&eacute;n en oraci&oacute;n las veinticuatro horas del d&iacute;a, los siete d&iacute;as de la semana. La oraci&oacute;n, por alg&uacute;n medio milagroso, debe ser una ocupaci&oacute;n momento a momento y segundo a segundo. Por supuesto, esto es imposible y pierde la intenci&oacute;n del texto.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>El vers&iacute;culo nos reta a ser constantes y consistentes en nuestra vida de oraci&oacute;n. La oraci&oacute;n debe ser un h&aacute;bito regular, un compa&ntilde;ero cercano. La oraci&oacute;n puede entenderse esencialmente como un \"ejercicio de respiraci&oacute;n\". Cuando inhalamos, escuchamos la voz de Dios en Su Palabra a trav&eacute;s de la iluminaci&oacute;n del Esp&iacute;ritu Santo. Mientras exhalamos, le respondemos al Se&ntilde;or compartiendo nuestro coraz&oacute;n, dici&eacute;ndole lo que est&aacute; en nuestra mente.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>La palabra para oraci&oacute;n \"es general, lo que implica un enfoque de adoraci&oacute;n a Dios\". 4 incluye todo tipo de oraci&oacute;n. A medida que intentamos establecer una buena base en estos ejercicios b&aacute;sicos, creo que debemos centrarnos en dos aspectos particulares de este ejercicio y en este orden: alabanza y petici&oacute;n. Deber&iacute;amos venir regularmente a la presencia de nuestro Se&ntilde;or alab&aacute;ndolo, honr&aacute;ndolo, ador&aacute;ndolo por qui&eacute;n es y por todo lo que ha hecho. Lo alabamos por su persona y trabajo. Reconocemos que solo &Eacute;l es Dios y que solo &Eacute;l es digno de ser alabado. Entonces, podemos acercarnos a Aquel que es el Padre, pidiendo lo que necesitamos e intercediendo en nombre de los dem&aacute;s.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Nadie ha abordado la urgencia de la oraci&oacute;n con mayor pasi&oacute;n que Andrew Murray. En su cl&aacute;sico El Ministerio de Intercesi&oacute;n, nos recuerda: &ldquo;Cristo realmente quiso decir que la oraci&oacute;n es el gran poder por el cual su Iglesia debe hacer su trabajo, el descuido de la oraci&oacute;n es la gran raz&oacute;n por la cual la Iglesia no tiene mayor poder sobre las masas en el cristianismo. y en pa&iacute;ses paganos. &rdquo;5 Por lo tanto,\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Tomemos el tiempo para considerar seriamente esta necesidad. Cada alma sin Cristo descender&aacute; a la oscuridad total, perecer&aacute; de hambre, aunque haya pan de sobra. Desconocidos millones de almas est&aacute;n muriendo sin el conocimiento de Cristo. Los cristianos a nuestro alrededor est&aacute;n viviendo una vida espiritual enfermiza, d&eacute;bil e infructuosa. Seguramente hay una necesidad de oraci&oacute;n. Nada m&aacute;s que orar a Dios por ayuda servir&aacute;. 6\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>La oraci&oacute;n es esa conversaci&oacute;n incre&iacute;ble que conecta la tierra con el cielo y al hombre con Dios. No entiendo todos sus misterios y c&oacute;mo es que las oraciones de humanos finitos pueden mover a un Dios infinito y soberano. Muchos creen que un avivamiento de oraci&oacute;n est&aacute; barriendo nuestra tierra. Recientemente, se abri&oacute; el Centro Mundial de Oraci&oacute;n por $ 5.5 millones en Colorado Springs con el prop&oacute;sito de orar por la evangelizaci&oacute;n mundial. Hoy hay marchas p&uacute;blicas de oraci&oacute;n, caminatas de oraci&oacute;n, oraci&oacute;n en el lugar y lo que se ha llamado \"oraci&oacute;n de saturaci&oacute;n\".\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>En noviembre de 1998, m&aacute;s de tres millones de personas participaron en la Conferencia de ayuno y oraci&oacute;n de tres d&iacute;as de Campus Crusade. Algunos creen que podemos identificar resultados cuantificables de la oraci&oacute;n. En Washington, D.C., 237 iglesias se han reunido para orar y, seg&uacute;n los informes, el crimen ha ca&iacute;do un diecisiete por ciento.7\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Admito que no estoy seguro de qu&eacute; hacer con todo esto. Lo que s&iacute; s&eacute; es que Dios dice orar, y cuando pido en oraci&oacute;n, me fortalezco espiritualmente. Estoy bendecido y Dios est&aacute; complacido. Estoy convencido de que la oraci&oacute;n ser&aacute; tu ejercicio m&aacute;s duro. Las Escrituras ense&ntilde;an esto y mi propia experiencia lo confirma. &iquest;Por qu&eacute;? Quiz&aacute;s sea porque no apreciamos o entendemos el incre&iacute;ble privilegio que tenemos. Andrew Murray dice con raz&oacute;n: \"A lo largo de la Escritura, en la vida de cada santo, del propio Hijo de Dios, a lo largo de la historia de la Iglesia de Dios, Dios es, ante todo, una oraci&oacute;n que escucha a Dios\". 8 si siempre est&aacute; escuchando, y &Eacute;l es, entonces siempre deber&iacute;amos estar orando.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Dar gracias de manera integral 5:18\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Este es quiz&aacute;s uno de los comandos m&aacute;s dif&iacute;ciles de obedecer en la Biblia. La demanda parece absurda. Debe haber un error. Y sin embargo, ah&iacute; est&aacute;: &ldquo;en todo da gracias. . . . &rdquo;Sin embargo, este es un lugar en la Escritura donde no nos atrevemos a detenernos demasiado r&aacute;pido. Debemos tomar el verso en toda su plenitud. Como a Paul Harvey le gusta decir, debemos leer \"el resto de la historia\". &iquest;Y qu&eacute; descubrimos? &ldquo;Esta es la voluntad de Dios en Cristo Jes&uacute;s para ti&rdquo;. Ahora se gira la llave. Ahora la niebla comienza a levantarse. Ahora mi vista comienza a aclararse. Tenga en cuenta que debemos dar gracias en todas las cosas, no por todas las cosas. &iquest;Decir gracias que muri&oacute; mi madre? &iquest;Decir gracias que mis padres se van a divorciar? &iquest;Decir gracias por el terrible accidente que dej&oacute; a mi hermano en coma con un cuerpo maltratado y roto? &iexcl;No! Esto no es lo que dice. Dice: \"Da gracias en. . . &rdquo;Llama en tu ayuda la perspectiva de Romanos 8:28. Leon Morris lo pone bien,\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>. . . Cuando un hombre llega a ver que Dios en Cristo lo ha salvado, todo se altera. Ahora se da cuenta de que el prop&oacute;sito de Dios se est&aacute; cumpliendo. &Eacute;l ve la evidencia en su propia vida y en la vida de quienes lo rodean. Esto lleva a la idea de que se est&aacute; desarrollando el mismo prop&oacute;sito amoroso incluso en aquellos eventos que &eacute;l se inclina a no aceptar en absoluto. Cuando llega a ver la mano de Dios en todas las cosas, aprende a dar gracias por todas las cosas. La tribulaci&oacute;n es desagradable. Sin embargo, &iquest;qui&eacute;n en medio de la tribulaci&oacute;n no dar&iacute;a las gracias cuando sabe que el Padre que lo ama tan grandemente ha permitido esa tribulaci&oacute;n solo para que su prop&oacute;sito sabio y misericordioso se pueda desarrollar? 9\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Calvin agrega:\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&iquest;Por qu&eacute; es m&aacute;s adecuado o m&aacute;s adecuado para pacificarnos que cuando aprendemos que Dios nos abraza en Cristo con tanta ternura, que recurre a nuestra ventaja y bienestar todo lo que nos sucede? ... este es un remedio especial para corregir nuestra impaciencia: apartar nuestros ojos de contemplar los males presentes que nos atormentan y dirigir nuestros puntos de vista a una consideraci&oacute;n de una naturaleza diferente: c&oacute;mo Dios se ve afectado hacia nosotros en Cristo.10\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Que una persona perdida diga \"gracias\" por todo es una tonter&iacute;a. Que el hijo de Dios diga \"gracias\" en todo es fe.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Desea el Esp&iacute;ritu fervientemente 5:19\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Este vers&iacute;culo se traduce, \"No apaguen el Esp&iacute;ritu\". La palabra apagar significa \"apagar\". Este es el &uacute;nico lugar en el NT donde la palabra se usa metaf&oacute;ricamente. Un creyente no puede perder el Esp&iacute;ritu (Ef 1: 13-14), pero puede entristecerlo (Ef 4:30) y apagarlo. En este vers&iacute;culo es la obra, y no la persona, del Esp&iacute;ritu lo que est&aacute; a la vista. Apagar el Esp&iacute;ritu es extinguir, sofocar, restringir o detener Su obra en nuestras vidas.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Desde su comienzo, la iglesia ha luchado para \"hacer las cosas bien\" cuando se trata del ministerio del Esp&iacute;ritu Santo. AT Robertson se lament&oacute; en su tiempo: \"Hoy hay dos extremos sobre los dones espirituales (indiferencia fr&iacute;a o exceso salvaje)\". 11 Warren Wiersbe nos advierte: \"El fuego del Esp&iacute;ritu no debe apagarse en el altar de nuestros corazones\" .12 El Esp&iacute;ritu es un don de la gracia de Dios recibida en la salvaci&oacute;n. Ahora somos su templo (1 Cor. 6: 19-20). Santiago 4: 5 ense&ntilde;a que \"El Esp&iacute;ritu que mora en nosotros anhela celosamente\". En respuesta apasionada, debemos anhelarlo, deseando su actividad plena y sin obst&aacute;culos en nuestras vidas.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Honor predicando correctamente 5:20\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Una forma de apagar el Esp&iacute;ritu es despreciando la predicaci&oacute;n de la palabra. \"No desprecien estas declaraciones\" es c&oacute;mo B. H. Carroll, primer presidente del Seminario Teol&oacute;gico Bautista del Suroeste, presenta este vers&iacute;culo. Aparentemente, la predicaci&oacute;n sufri&oacute; lo mismo en el primer siglo que en la actualidad: una falta de respeto. &iquest;Cu&aacute;l fue el problema preguntamos? &iquest;Falsas profec&iacute;as? &iquest;Predicaci&oacute;n poco impresionante? &iquest;El regalo no fue lo suficientemente espectacular? &iquest;Fue demasiado espectacular? No estamos seguros. Lo que s&iacute; sabemos es que la predicaci&oacute;n de la palabra es \"el poder de Dios\" (1 Cor 1:18), convence y reprueba (1 Cor 14:24), es lo que viene \"en poder, y en el Esp&iacute;ritu Santo y con mucha seguridad \"(1 Tes. 1: 5). Calvin pinta una imagen realista de su propio d&iacute;a cuando escribe: \"Muchos se sienten disgustados con el nombre mismo de la predicaci&oacute;n, ya que hay tantas personas tontas e ignorantes que desde el p&uacute;lpito critican sus artilugios sin valor\". 13 sin embargo, contin&uacute;a para agregar: \"Pero el Se&ntilde;or declara en este lugar por boca de Pablo, que el curso de la doctrina no debe, por cualquier falta de la humanidad, o por cualquier imprudencia, o ignorancia, o, en definitiva, por cualquier abuso que se vea obstaculizado de estar siempre en un estado vigoroso en la Iglesia \"14.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>La predicaci&oacute;n contin&uacute;a siendo asaltada en nuestros d&iacute;as. A veces el ataque viene incluso desde dentro del campo evang&eacute;lico. La exposici&oacute;n ha sido especialmente el objetivo de muchos ministros modernos que creen que debemos decirle a la manera del mundo si queremos que el mundo escuche. Calvin Miller, de la Escuela de Divinidad Beeson, es un gran defensor y evangelista de la predicaci&oacute;n narrativa en contra de la exposici&oacute;n. &Eacute;l dice: \"Dado que somos una cultura llena de historias, predicar de cualquier otra manera no atraer&aacute; a la gente\" .15 Seg&uacute;n The Futurist, los trabajadores m&aacute;s valorados en el nuevo siglo ser&aacute;n los narradores de historias. Cualquier profesional (anunciante, maestro, pol&iacute;tico, emprendedor, atleta o ministro) ser&aacute; valorado por la capacidad de presentar historias que cautiven a la audiencia.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&iquest;Puedo sugerir un par de principios a seguir, que reconocer&aacute;n el elemento de verdad en el acercamiento narrativo, pero no aceptar&aacute;n su error? Primero, es un pecado hacer que la Biblia sea aburrida. Paige Patterson tiene raz&oacute;n cuando dice: \"Las cr&iacute;ticas que escucho sobre la predicaci&oacute;n expositiva son, en realidad, cr&iacute;ticas sobre la 'predicaci&oacute;n aburrida'. La predicaci&oacute;n m&aacute;s grande en la tierra sigue siendo una exposici&oacute;n cautivadora, prof&eacute;tica, vigorizante y que honra a Cristo\". Segundo, cuando la Biblia cuenta una historia, entonces t&uacute; cuentas la historia. Cuando ense&ntilde;a doctrina, ense&ntilde;as doctrina. S&eacute; fiel al texto y mu&eacute;strale a tu congregaci&oacute;n qu&eacute; gran Dios adoramos. Predica con pasi&oacute;n, celo y energ&iacute;a. Honra la advertencia de Pablo a \"Predicar la palabra\" (2 Tim 4: 2).\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Vive la vida sabiamente 5:21\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>No debemos despreciar la predicaci&oacute;n, la profec&iacute;a, la proclamaci&oacute;n de la palabra de Dios por parte de sus profetas. Sin embargo, surge naturalmente una pregunta: &iquest;pasa algo? &iquest;Debemos abrir la puerta con los ojos bien cerrados sin ejercer ning&uacute;n tipo de discriminaci&oacute;n? B. H. Carroll nos recuerda: &ldquo;Hay algunos esp&iacute;ritus que son de Dios. Hay una inspiraci&oacute;n que no viene de Dios. Hay inspiraci&oacute;n del diablo \".18Calvin dice:\" Mant&eacute;n el camino del medio. . . el examen o la discriminaci&oacute;n deben preceder al rechazo, por lo que tambi&eacute;n debe preceder a la recepci&oacute;n de doctrinas verdaderas y sensatas. . . . A veces, los maestros buenos y piadosos no logran dar en el blanco&rdquo;. 19 la palabra prueba significa &ldquo;probar o examinar&rdquo;. La Biblia en ingl&eacute;s nuevo dice: &ldquo;trata de determinar la autenticidad&rdquo;. Y observe la frase calificativa: &ldquo;Todas las cosas&rdquo;. velar por \"la fe que de una vez fue entregada a los santos\" (Judas 3) es una postura siempre necesaria. Nunca podremos relajar nuestra guardia o bajar nuestras defensas. La historia de nuestra propia denominaci&oacute;n bautista del sur nos ense&ntilde;a cu&aacute;n r&aacute;pido se puede perder la verdad.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>El Dr. Jerry Vines ha escrito un buen libro titulado Spirit Works(Las obras del Espiritu). Examina la teolog&iacute;a y la pr&aacute;ctica del movimiento carism&aacute;tico moderno a la luz de las Escrituras. En ese libro, el Dr. Vines proporciona una serie de pruebas para discernir la autenticidad de ciertas actividades espirituales.20 Me gustar&iacute;a seguir su ejemplo y presentar una prueba cu&aacute;druple que nos puede ayudar en este ejercicio crucial de vivir sabiamente. No es infalible, pero creo que es extremadamente &uacute;til.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>1. La Prueba del Salvador (v&eacute;ase 1 Juan 4: 1-3): &iquest;Honra y exalta adecuadamente a la persona y la obra de Jes&uacute;s?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>2. La Prueba de las Escrituras: &iquest;Es esta ense&ntilde;anza consistente con toda la instrucci&oacute;n y doctrina de la Biblia en esta &aacute;rea? &iquest;Esta ense&ntilde;anza intenta quitar o agregar a la Palabra de Dios?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>3. La Prueba del Esp&iacute;ritu: &iquest;Esta ense&ntilde;anza est&aacute; en concierto con los deseos expresados y el ministerio del Esp&iacute;ritu Santo como se revela en la Palabra? (Verificar especialmente contra Juan 14-16).\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>4. La Prueba de los Santos: &iquest;Qu&eacute; dicen y qu&eacute; dicen otros estudiantes maduros y piadosos de las Escrituras sobre este asunto? (cf.1 Cor 14, 31-33).\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Mantenga el bien celosamente 5:21\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Este mandamiento est&aacute; claramente relacionado con lo que le precede. Una vez que hemos puesto todo a prueba, debemos retener continuamente lo que es bueno. Pablo nos dice que nos aferremos y que nunca dejemos de lado lo que es bueno. El objeto inmediato de este ejercicio son las declaraciones prof&eacute;ticas. Algunos int&eacute;rpretes creen que es leg&iacute;timo extender el principio solo a todos los dones y actividades espirituales. Sin embargo, creo que Paul no impuso ninguna restricci&oacute;n a este comando. El vers&iacute;culo 22 indica que &eacute;l estableci&oacute; este ejercicio como una regla general de vida para ser aplicado a todas las cosas. Cuando descubras algo bueno de Dios, gu&aacute;rdalo y gu&aacute;rdalo.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Sin embargo, el peligro no es tanto que lo dejes ir, sino que lo dejes escapar. En Cantar de los Cantares 2:15 se nos advierte sobre los \"peque&ntilde;os zorros\" que pueden colarse en la vi&ntilde;a y estropear las vides. Solomon nos advierte sobre las peque&ntilde;as cosas que pueden herir nuestro matrimonio, y todo el tiempo ni siquiera nos damos cuenta. Las cosas buenas de un matrimonio y una familia cristiana no deben ser tenidas a la ligera o con ligereza. \"Ag&aacute;rrate\", ag&aacute;rrate fuerte y nunca dejes ir esas cosas buenas que tienes de Dios.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Abstenerse del mal por completo 5:22\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Abstenerse es una palabra fuerte. Pablo la us&oacute; en 4: 3 cuando les dijo a los Tesalonicenses que se mantuvieran alejados de la inmoralidad sexual. La fuerza de este verbo se ve reforzada por el uso de una preposici&oacute;n por parte de Pablo que enfatiza la separaci&oacute;n y su colocaci&oacute;n de esa preposici&oacute;n primero en el texto. Literalmente escribe: \"De toda forma de maldad abstenerse\". La palabra \"forma\" es interesante. Hiebert se&ntilde;ala que, si bien el t&eacute;rmino \"puede significar apariencias externas, tambi&eacute;n puede significar,\" especie, especie, especie \".21 Lo m&aacute;s probable es que Paul se refiera a todo tipo de maldad en lugar de solo cada apariencia externa de maldad.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>El mal viene a nosotros en todo tipo de tama&ntilde;os, formas y figuras. Es un enemigo complejo. Si bien nunca cambia en su esencia, busca continuamente formas nuevas y atractivas, hechas a la medida para cada uno de nosotros. El mal te conoce desde la talla de tu zapato hasta la talla de tu sombrero. Regularmente te mide el tama&ntilde;o que podr&iacute;a atraparte desprevenido y dejarte inconsciente. Para resistir su perpetuo asalto y enga&ntilde;o se requiere preparaci&oacute;n y prontitud perpetua.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Lo que es una forma de mal especialmente atractiva para ti puede no ser una forma de mal atractiva para m&iacute;. Donde yo soy d&eacute;bil, t&uacute; puedes ser fuerte. Donde yo soy fuerte, t&uacute; puedes ser d&eacute;bil. Sin embargo, todos tenemos debilidades, todos tenemos &aacute;reas de vulnerabilidad. Es especialmente en esas &aacute;reas (tal vez son los ojos, la boca, las manos, la mente, el coraz&oacute;n o la voluntad) que debes aprovechar diariamente el ejercicio esencial para \"abstenerse completamente del mal\".\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Edmund Burke dijo:\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Los casos son extremadamente raros de hombres que pasan inmediatamente por una l&iacute;nea claramente marcada de la virtud al vicio declarado y la corrupci&oacute;n. Hay tintes y sombras intermedias entre los dos extremos; Hay algo incierto en los confines de los dos imperios por los que deben pasar y que hace que el cambio sea f&aacute;cil e imperceptible.22\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Conclusi&oacute;n\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Samuel Smiles dijo:\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Siembra un pensamiento y cosechar&aacute;s un acto. Siembra un acto y cosechar&aacute;s un h&aacute;bito. Siembra un h&aacute;bito y cosechar&aacute;s un personaje. Siembra un personaje y cosechar&aacute;s un destino.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Es mi oraci&oacute;n que todos pensemos tanto en estos ejercicios que realmente se conviertan en acciones que practicamos a diario. Y a medida que los practicamos a diario, creo que se convertir&aacute;n en h&aacute;bitos de vida, tan importantes para nosotros como el agua que bebemos, los alimentos que comemos y el aire que respiramos. Y a medida que se conviertan en h&aacute;bitos, dar&aacute;n forma a nuestro car&aacute;cter. Y a medida que moldeen nuestro car&aacute;cter, de hecho moldear&aacute;n nuestro destino como aquellos que han vivido fuertes para el Se&ntilde;or en el transcurso de la vida.

La tristesse s’atténue relativement rapidement tandis que la dépression persiste pendant ce qui semble être une éternité pour ceux qui en souffrent. Les critères diagnostiques de la dépression incluent, sans s’y limiter, des sentiments de tristesse, une diminution de l’appétit, des troubles du sommeil, des sentiments de dévalorisation et de désespoir, des difficultés de concentration, de réflexion, de maintien de l’attention, et une altération du fonctionnement social, professionnel ou dans d’autres domaines importants (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 2000). Ces symptômes persistent pendant deux semaines ou plus et s’aggravent progressivement s’ils ne sont pas traités, menant parfois à des pensées suicidaires. La tristesse provient d’une réaction émotionnelle aux événements de la vie et peut se transformer en dépression. La dépression peut être liée à des facteurs biologiques ou environnementaux. Reconnaître la différence entre une période de tristesse et un épisode de dépression peut faire la différence entre la vie et la mort.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La tristesse est une réponse naturelle aux événements tandis que la dépression devient un état d’esprit.

Revêtez-vous de toute l’armure de Dieu, afin de pouvoir tenir ferme contre les ruses du diable » Eph 6:10-11.

Central Concerns:\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cb>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cp>Am I Depressed?&nbsp;We need to distinguish between being depressed, having to do with mood,&nbsp;and having depression, which involves effect. Think of it as the difference between weather, which is temporary and dynamic, and climate, which is long-term and stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Being depressed, a mood, may be related to many factors like not have a sense of meaning or purpose in your life. That’s why&nbsp;it’s so important to consider what you believe about God, about people, and about nature. In other words, how you see the world can effect your mood and how you live your life. For example, if you believe that God is fair and loving, even when life is tough, then perhaps you can better handle the painful emotions of anger, sadness, and depression.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>You should begin by finding truth in your spiritual life, but some specialists say that depression may be spawned by a series of&nbsp;losses, like losing your job, or good health, or maybe a best&nbsp;friend, or loved one.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Some of these factors, like loss of hope for example, may result in a type&nbsp;of depression that can often be changed by first identifying:&nbsp;How you view the world, and how that worldview effects your mood, often changing how you act and react, according to&nbsp;appropriate core beliefs can help diminish and even ward off&nbsp;depression.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Do I Have Depression?&nbsp;Being depressed can be thought of as a temporary, dynamic state of emotion.&nbsp;This type of emotional state is really related to sadness associated with a life event and one’s perception of that life event.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Treating&nbsp;this type of emotional state is about helping someone change their focus and allowing time to heal any sense of loss. Having depression, however, is much more complex. It is characterized by a number of different symptoms, including sadness that don’t easily respond to change and how we think.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cp>What Happens When Someone Has Terrible Thoughts . . . For a Long Duration? Frequently, there may be chronic thoughts of loss and\u002For death. There&nbsp;are often indicators when the body, particularly the brain, has become effected. Two indicators of this are:&nbsp;Persistent disturbance in sleep and appetite. In both instances, depression may cause abnormal sleep and eating habits.&nbsp;There is often a lack of energy and concentration and&nbsp;excessive feelings of worthlessness and guilt.&nbsp;There can also be a number of vague physical complaints such as generalized muscle aches.&nbsp;If several of these types of symptoms have persisted steadily for more than a&nbsp;couple of weeks, they may be indications that you have depression that needs professional intervention. If this describes you, then consult with your physician. There could be any number of medical irregularities contributing to the depression that need to be evaluated.&nbsp;Some of these conditions include hormonal and cardiovascular irregularities.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ruling out different factors, it may be necessary that the brain needs some medical attention through the use of anti-depressant medication. Again, this is a decision that needs to be made in the consultation with your family, pastor, and medical professional.&nbsp;If you have depression, it is important to become involved in a counseling relationship with someone who specializes in the treatment of clinical depression.&nbsp;Although the journey can be long and difficult, it is possible to reduce or eliminate depression and to become more resilient to its effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>II.

Préoccupations centrales :\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cb>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cp>Suis-je déprimé ? Nous devons distinguer le fait d’être déprimé, qui relève de l’humeur, et le fait d’avoir une dépression, qui implique un effet. Pensez-y comme à la différence entre la météo, qui est temporaire et dynamique, et le climat, qui est à long terme et stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Être déprimé, une humeur, peut être lié à de nombreux facteurs, comme le manque de sens ou de but dans votre vie. C’est pourquoi il est si important de considérer ce que vous croyez au sujet de Dieu, des personnes et de la nature. Autrement dit, la façon dont vous voyez le monde peut affecter votre humeur et votre façon de vivre. Par exemple, si vous croyez que Dieu est juste et aimant, même lorsque la vie est difficile, vous pouvez peut-être mieux gérer les émotions douloureuses de colère, de tristesse et de dépression.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Vous devriez commencer par trouver la vérité dans votre vie spirituelle, mais certains spécialistes disent que la dépression peut être engendrée par une série de pertes, comme la perte de votre emploi, de votre bonne santé, ou peut-être d’un meilleur ami ou d’un être cher.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Certains de ces facteurs, comme la perte d’espoir par exemple, peuvent entraîner un type de dépression qui peut souvent être modifié en identifiant d’abord : la façon dont vous voyez le monde, et comment cette vision du monde affecte votre humeur, modifiant souvent la façon dont vous agissez et réagissez. Selon des croyances fondamentales appropriées, cela peut aider à diminuer et même à prévenir la dépression.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ai-je une dépression ? Être déprimé peut être considéré comme un état émotionnel temporaire et dynamique. Ce type d’état émotionnel est vraiment lié à la tristesse associée à un événement de vie et à la perception que l’on a de cet événement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Traiter ce type d’état émotionnel consiste à aider quelqu’un à changer son point de vue et à laisser le temps guérir tout sentiment de perte. Avoir une dépression, en revanche, est beaucoup plus complexe. Elle se caractérise par un certain nombre de symptômes différents, dont une tristesse qui ne répond pas facilement au changement et à notre façon de penser.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cp>Que se passe-t-il lorsqu’une personne a des pensées terribles… pendant une longue durée ? Souvent, il peut y avoir des pensées chroniques de perte et\u002Fou de mort. Il y a souvent des indicateurs lorsque le corps, en particulier le cerveau, a été affecté. Deux indicateurs de cela sont : un trouble persistant du sommeil et de l’appétit. Dans les deux cas, la dépression peut provoquer des habitudes anormales de sommeil et d’alimentation. Il y a souvent un manque d’énergie et de concentration, ainsi que des sentiments excessifs de dévalorisation et de culpabilité. Il peut aussi y avoir un certain nombre de plaintes physiques vagues, comme des douleurs musculaires généralisées. Si plusieurs de ces types de symptômes ont persisté régulièrement pendant plus de quelques semaines, ils peuvent indiquer que vous souffrez d’une dépression nécessitant une intervention professionnelle. Si cela vous décrit, consultez votre médecin. Il pourrait y avoir un certain nombre d’irrégularités médicales contribuant à la dépression qui doivent être évaluées. Certaines de ces conditions incluent des irrégularités hormonales et cardiovasculaires.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Après avoir écarté différents facteurs, il se peut que le cerveau ait besoin d’une attention médicale par le biais de médicaments antidépresseurs. Là encore, il s’agit d’une décision qui doit être prise en consultation avec votre famille, votre pasteur et un professionnel de la santé. Si vous souffrez de dépression, il est important de vous engager dans une relation de counseling avec quelqu’un qui se spécialise dans le traitement de la dépression clinique. Bien que le chemin puisse être long et difficile, il est possible de réduire ou d’éliminer la dépression et de devenir plus résilient face à ses effets.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>II. Idées :\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Voici quelques idées pour vous mettre sur la bonne voie : Évitez les mauvais aliments (comme le pain blanc, les sucres et la caféine). Manger plus sainement et pratiquer une activité cardiovasculaire quotidienne peut vraiment aider dans votre processus de guérison. Un autre conseil important… c’est le sommeil. Le manque de sommeil peut provoquer une instabilité émotionnelle sévère et être un catalyseur majeur dans la lutte contre la dépression.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cp>En résumé : À travers tout cela, il n’y a qu’une seule personne en qui nous pouvons trouver une guérison complète.

En d'autres termes, l'évolution au sens de la molécule à l'homme n'est pas scientifiquement possible et, par conséquent, ne devrait pas être considérée comme un fait scientifique. Franchement, elle est en grande opposition avec la science.

Premier fait, il n'existe aucun processus observable connu par lequel de nouvelles informations génétiques peuvent être ajoutées au code génétique d'un organisme. Aucun. Cela réfute pratiquement l'évolution tout de suite parce qu'il n'y a aucun moyen de passer d'un poisson à un amphibien sans ajouter de nouvelles informations, n'est-ce pas ? Si les organismes vivants ne peuvent pas produire de nouvelles informations génétiques, comment quelque chose peut-il changer progressivement en quelque chose d'une intelligence, d'une forme ou d'une complexité supérieures ? C'est-à-dire, comment quelque chose peut-il évoluer d'une amibe à un homme sans ajouter de nouvelles informations génétiques ?

Ce ne sont que des histoires.

Regardez ça. Jamais. Encore une fois, jamais il n'a été observé que la vie puisse provenir de la non-vie, donc voici deux preuves scientifiques majeures contre l'évolution. Je répète pour plus de clarté. La vie n'a jamais été observée provenir de la non-vie et il n'existe aucun processus observable connu par lequel de nouvelles informations génétiques peuvent être ajoutées au code génétique d'un organisme.

Really?&nbsp; Well, first of all, evidence like the fossil record doesn’t speak for itself.&nbsp; It’s interpreted through a person’s world view like looking through a lens.&nbsp; We all have the same evidence in the present, the same rock layers, the same fossils, etc. and we interpret this evidence in regard to the past through the lens, or world view we use.&nbsp; An evolutionist will interpret the evidence through the lens of what he’s been taught about evolution in millions of years, but a Biblical creationist will interpret the same fossils differently through the lens of the Bible.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Now, both are looking at the same evidence in the present but both are interpreting it very differently.&nbsp; So looking at the fossil record in the present because that’s all we have and interpreting it through the lens of God’s Word, we find that what we actually observe in the present confirms the interpretation obtained by looking through the lens of the Bible.&nbsp; Now, the only meaningful place to start is with the word of someone who has seen everything from the beginning and told us exactly what happened.&nbsp; That someone is God, who has given us a written account of the world’s true history in the Bible.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”&nbsp; Now, God’s written word tells us that during creation week, God created different kinds of animals and plants according to their kinds.&nbsp; The implication is that they will produce after their kind.&nbsp; That’s exactly what we see today, isn’t it?&nbsp; An elephant produces an elephant. &nbsp;A dog produces a dog and on and on.&nbsp; Now, on the sixth day, man and woman, Adam and Eve, were also created and God declared everything very good.&nbsp; It was complete and perfect and there was no death because there was no sin.&nbsp; Later on in Genesis, chapter 3, it is revealed that the man and woman being tempted by the serpent rebelled against God, broke His command, and sin and corruption entered the world.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>In fact, the entire creation was altered and is no longer in its originally perfect very good state.&nbsp; People and animals began to die.&nbsp; But could gradual death in such a short period of time account for the fossil record we observe today?&nbsp; Not only that, to form a fossil, the animal or plant has to be covered quickly and since we find billions of fossils all over the world today, something that could have killed billions of things rather quickly, had to have occurred.&nbsp; Not to mention, we also find many fish and other marine fossils at the tops of today’s mountains.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>So, what in the Bible could account for that?&nbsp; What could cause billions of dead things to be buried in rock layers rapidly laid down by water all over the earth?&nbsp; Well, flip to Genesis, chapter 6 through 9 and you’ll read the account of the global flood in Noah’s day.&nbsp; Essentially what happened is that men were so corrupt and violent that God selected a righteous man, Noah, and his family to build a huge ark and get in it along with a pair of each land animal kind and then God caused a worldwide flood.&nbsp; The water gushed up from the ground and water fell from the sky.&nbsp; The earth was totally covered with water and all land dwelling, air breathing creatures outside the ark were killed, all of them.&nbsp; It was a massive and destructive event.&nbsp; After more than a year, the waters had subsided enough that Noah and his family and the animals could get off the ark.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Now, what would a worldwide flood do the earth?&nbsp; Well, far too many things to discuss here but it would have definitely totally changed the earth’s terrain.&nbsp; It would have tossed things all around and it would have destroyed billions of plants and animals burying them all over the earth.&nbsp; So based on the Biblical world view, we know that God created everything and it was perfect.&nbsp; But because of man’s rebellion, people became corrupt and all kinds of things began to suffer and die.&nbsp; Because of man’s continual violence and corruption, God destroyed all people and all other land dwelling, air breathing creatures in the world, saved Noah and his family and representatives of all land dwelling, air breathing animal kinds with a global catastrophic deluge.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>The fossil record that we observe today makes perfect sense within the Biblical world view.&nbsp;

Todos tenemos la misma evidencia en el presente, las mismas capas de roca, los mismos fósiles, etc., y interpretamos esta evidencia en relación con el pasado a través del lente o la cosmovisión que usamos.&nbsp;

Así que, al observar el registro fósil en el presente, porque eso es todo lo que tenemos, e interpretarlo a través del lente de la Palabra de Dios, encontramos que lo que realmente observamos en el presente confirma la interpretación obtenida al mirar a través del lente de la Biblia.&nbsp; Ahora, el único lugar significativo para comenzar es con la palabra de alguien que ha visto todo desde el principio y nos ha dicho exactamente lo que sucedió.&nbsp; Ese alguien es Dios, quien nos ha dado un relato escrito de la verdadera historia del mundo en la Biblia.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Génesis 1:1 dice: “En el principio, Dios creó los cielos y la tierra”.&nbsp; Ahora, la Palabra escrita de Dios nos dice que durante la semana de la creación, Dios creó diferentes clases de animales y plantas según sus clases.&nbsp; La implicación es que producirán según su clase.&nbsp; Eso es exactamente lo que vemos hoy, ¿no es así?&nbsp; Un elefante produce un elefante.&nbsp; Un perro produce un perro y así sucesivamente.&nbsp; Ahora, en el sexto día, el hombre y la mujer, Adán y Eva, también fueron creados y Dios declaró que todo era muy bueno.&nbsp; Estaba completo y perfecto y no había muerte porque no había pecado.&nbsp; Más tarde, en Génesis, capítulo 3, se revela que el hombre y la mujer, siendo tentados por la serpiente, se rebelaron contra Dios, rompieron Su mandamiento y el pecado y la corrupción entraron en el mundo.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>De hecho, toda la creación fue alterada y ya no está en su estado originalmente perfecto y muy bueno.&nbsp; Las personas y los animales comenzaron a morir.&nbsp; Pero, ¿podría la muerte gradual en un período de tiempo tan corto explicar el registro fósil que observamos hoy?&nbsp; No solo eso, para formar un fósil, el animal o la planta tiene que ser cubierto rápidamente y, como encontramos miles de millones de fósiles en todo el mundo hoy, algo que pudo haber matado a miles de millones de cosas bastante rápido tuvo que haber ocurrido.&nbsp;

¿Qué podría causar que miles de millones de cosas muertas fueran enterradas en capas de roca depositadas rápidamente por el agua en toda la tierra?&nbsp; Bueno, pasa a Génesis, capítulos 6 a 9 y leerás el relato del diluvio global en los días de Noé.&nbsp; Esencialmente, lo que sucedió es que los hombres eran tan corruptos y violentos que Dios seleccionó a un hombre justo, Noé, y a su familia para construir un arca enorme y entrar en ella junto con un par de cada clase de animal terrestre, y luego Dios causó un diluvio mundial.&nbsp; El agua brotó del suelo y el agua cayó del cielo.&nbsp; La tierra estaba totalmente cubierta de agua y todas las criaturas terrestres que respiran aire fuera del arca murieron, todas ellas.&nbsp; Fue un evento masivo y destructivo.&nbsp; Después de más de un año, las aguas habían bajado lo suficiente como para que Noé y su familia y los animales pudieran bajar del arca.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Ahora, ¿qué haría un diluvio mundial a la tierra?&nbsp; Bueno, hay demasiadas cosas para discutir aquí, pero definitivamente habría cambiado totalmente el terreno de la tierra.&nbsp; Habría arrojado cosas por todas partes y habría destruido miles de millones de plantas y animales enterrándolos por toda la tierra.&nbsp; Así que, basándonos en la cosmovisión bíblica, sabemos que Dios creó todo y era perfecto.&nbsp; Pero debido a la rebelión del hombre, las personas se volvieron corruptas y todo tipo de cosas comenzaron a sufrir y morir.&nbsp; Debido a la continua violencia y corrupción del hombre, Dios destruyó a todas las personas y a todas las demás criaturas terrestres que respiran aire en el mundo, salvando a Noé y a su familia y a representantes de todas las clases de animales terrestres que respiran aire con un diluvio catastrófico global.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>El registro fósil que observamos hoy tiene perfecto sentido dentro de la cosmovisión bíblica.&nbsp;

Ainsi, en examinant le registre fossile dans le présent, car c’est tout ce que nous avons, et en l’interprétant à travers la lentille de la Parole de Dieu, nous constatons que ce que nous observons réellement dans le présent confirme l’interprétation obtenue en regardant à travers la lentille de la Bible. Maintenant, le seul endroit significatif pour commencer est avec la parole de quelqu’un qui a tout vu depuis le début et nous a dit exactement ce qui s’est passé. Ce quelqu’un est Dieu, qui nous a donné un récit écrit de la véritable histoire du monde dans la Bible.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Genèse 1:1 dit : « Au commencement, Dieu créa les cieux et la terre. » Or, la Parole écrite de Dieu nous dit que pendant la semaine de la création, Dieu créa différentes sortes d’animaux et de plantes selon leurs espèces. L’implication est qu’ils produiront selon leur espèce. C’est exactement ce que nous voyons aujourd’hui, n’est-ce pas ? Un éléphant produit un éléphant. Un chien produit un chien, et ainsi de suite. Or, le sixième jour, l’homme et la femme, Adam et Ève, furent également créés et Dieu déclara que tout était très bon. C’était complet et parfait et il n’y avait pas de mort parce qu’il n’y avait pas de péché. Plus tard dans la Genèse, chapitre 3, il est révélé que l’homme et la femme, tentés par le serpent, se rebellèrent contre Dieu, enfreignirent Son commandement, et le péché et la corruption entrèrent dans le monde.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>En fait, toute la création fut altérée et n’est plus dans son état originel parfait et très bon. Les gens et les animaux commencèrent à mourir. Mais la mort graduelle sur une si courte période de temps pourrait-elle expliquer le registre fossile que nous observons aujourd’hui ? Non seulement cela, pour former un fossile, l’animal ou la plante doit être recouvert rapidement et comme nous trouvons des milliards de fossiles partout dans le monde aujourd’hui, quelque chose qui aurait pu tuer des milliards d’êtres assez rapidement a dû se produire. Sans compter que nous trouvons aussi de nombreux poissons et autres fossiles marins au sommet des montagnes d’aujourd’hui.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Alors, qu’est-ce qui dans la Bible pourrait expliquer cela ? Qu’est-ce qui pourrait causer la mort de milliards d’êtres enterrés dans des couches rocheuses rapidement déposées par l’eau partout sur la terre ? Eh bien, ouvrez la Genèse, chapitres 6 à 9, et vous lirez le récit du déluge mondial au temps de Noé. Essentiellement, ce qui s’est passé, c’est que les hommes étaient si corrompus et violents que Dieu choisit un homme juste, Noé, et sa famille pour construire une arche énorme et y entrer avec un couple de chaque espèce d’animal terrestre, puis Dieu provoqua un déluge mondial. L’eau jaillit du sol et l’eau tomba du ciel. La terre fut totalement recouverte d’eau et toutes les créatures terrestres respirant de l’air en dehors de l’arche furent tuées, toutes. Ce fut un événement massif et destructeur. Après plus d’un an, les eaux avaient suffisamment baissé pour que Noé et sa famille et les animaux puissent sortir de l’arche.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Or, qu’est-ce qu’un déluge mondial ferait à la terre ? Eh bien, bien trop de choses pour en discuter ici, mais cela aurait définitivement changé totalement le terrain de la terre. Cela aurait tout mélangé et aurait détruit des milliards de plantes et d’animaux en les enterrant partout sur la terre. Ainsi, sur la base de la vision du monde biblique, nous savons que Dieu créa tout et que c’était parfait. Mais à cause de la rébellion de l’homme, les gens devinrent corrompus et toutes sortes de choses commencèrent à souffrir et à mourir. À cause de la violence et de la corruption continuelles de l’homme, Dieu détruisit tous les gens et toutes les autres créatures terrestres respirant de l’air dans le monde, sauvant Noé et sa famille et des représentants de toutes les espèces d’animaux terrestres respirant de l’air avec un déluge catastrophique mondial.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Le registre fossile que nous observons aujourd’hui a parfaitement du sens dans la vision du monde biblique.

How can there be so many races in the world if we are all descendants of Adam of Eve?&nbsp; Well, check this out.&nbsp; First of all, let’s talk about the word “race.”&nbsp; Sometimes when people use the word, they mean supposed races of people who have evolved at different times or raised in a different location.&nbsp; That’s not true.&nbsp; Of course, the word “race” is also a term we use to distinguish between groups with different physical traits, namely skin color.&nbsp; But are there really different races?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Take a gander at Acts 17:26 where it is written that God, from one man, made every nation of men.&nbsp; It’s clear, then, that the Bible teaches that there is one race, the human race.&nbsp; The Bible is also clear that all people on the earth are descendants of Adam and Eve who were created by God.&nbsp; Check Genesis 1:26-28, easy enough.&nbsp; God created two people in His image, male and female, and told them to increase in number.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>So, Adam and Eve are mom and dad of the human race.&nbsp; Then, their children had children and those children had children and so on and so forth for many generations until, according to Genesis 6:9 that the world’s population was reduced to eight people who were protected inside an ark during a global flood and those eight people later walked off the ark and according to Genesis 9:19, from them came the people who were scattered over the earth.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Well, wait a second - what do I mean “scattered”?&nbsp; Well, jump over to Genesis 11 and let’s talk about an event known as the Tower of Babel.&nbsp; Basically, because of the sinful actions of the descendants of Noah, the Lord confused their language and scattered them from there over all the earth.&nbsp; That’s pretty clear and concise.&nbsp; Okay.&nbsp; So we’ve got lots of people who were descendants of the eight folks who came off the ark and now they have been scattered all over the earth.&nbsp; That explains that we are still one race and that different groups of people ended up in different locations.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>But how did we get a bunch of different colored people if we are all one race?&nbsp; Well, follow along.&nbsp; This, of course, is a simplified explanation but the basic principles are true.&nbsp; We all have a pigment in our bodies called melanin which, depending on different variables, produces different shades of the one main skin color we all possess.&nbsp; Several genes control the amount of melanin produced and, thus, the variability in the skin shade.&nbsp; In fact, it’s easy for one couple to produce a wide range of skin shade variability in just one generation as we’ll see in just a moment.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Time for a quick genetics lesson.&nbsp; DNA is the molecule of heredity that is passed from parents to children.&nbsp; A child inherits 23 chromosomes from each parent.&nbsp; Each chromosome paired contains hundreds of genes which regulate the physical development of the child.&nbsp; However, to illustrate basic genetic principles pertaining to the topic, we’ll just talk about two genes, the genes that control the production of melanin.&nbsp; So, let capital “A” and capital “B” symbolize versions of the gene that code for large amounts of melanin and while little “a” and little “b” code for small amounts.&nbsp; Got it?&nbsp; Easy.&nbsp; Check this out.&nbsp; Take a look at the upper left.&nbsp; Let’s say dad contributes capital “A” and capital “B” genes and mom contributes capital “A” and capital “B” genes as well.&nbsp; Together they were produced a child with capital “A,” capital “A”, capital “B,” and capital “B.”&nbsp; This is a kid with a lot of melanin and, thus, he will have very dark skin.&nbsp; Easy to see.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Here’s the bigger point though.&nbsp; Let’s say dad contributes capital “A,” capital “B” and mom contributes little “a” and little “b.”&nbsp; Well, the child’s skin will be middle brown shade.&nbsp; The combination of capital “A,” little “a,” and capital “B,” little “b” which, by the way, represents a majority of the world’s population.&nbsp; Not only that, but if each parent is capital “A” and little “a,” capital “B,” little “b,” the combinations that could be produced in their children could result in a very wide range of skin shades in just one generation.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>So, since Adam and Eve were the first people ever, it makes sense to conclude that God placed in them a combination of genes that could produce all different shades of skin we see.&nbsp; Those same combinations would be present in Noah and the seven other people who boarded the ark.&nbsp; And because God disbursed people at the Tower of Babel, he disbursed the population, thereby isolating gene pools in the different people groups.&nbsp; Over time, different cultures formed in different locations with certain features like skin shade becoming predominant and here we are today.&nbsp; And since we all go back to Noah and his family, it makes sense that we are all different shades of brown, one race, multiple people groups, just like the Bible teaches.&nbsp; Simplified for sure but enough said.\u003C\u002Fp>","If we all descended from Adam and Eve, then where did all the races come from?

Luego, sus hijos tuvieron hijos y esos hijos tuvieron hijos, y así sucesivamente durante muchas generaciones hasta que, según Génesis 6:9, la población mundial se redujo a ocho personas que fueron protegidas dentro de un arca durante un diluvio global, y esas ocho personas luego caminaron fuera del arca y, según Génesis 9:19, de ellas descendieron las personas que se dispersaron por toda la tierra.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Bueno, espera un segundo, ¿qué quiero decir con “dispersaron”?&nbsp; Bueno, salta a Génesis 11 y hablemos de un evento conocido como la Torre de Babel.&nbsp; Básicamente, debido a las acciones pecaminosas de los descendientes de Noé, el Señor confundió su idioma y los dispersó desde allí por toda la tierra.&nbsp; Eso es bastante claro y conciso.&nbsp; Bien.&nbsp; Así que tenemos muchas personas que eran descendientes de los ocho que salieron del arca y ahora han sido dispersadas por toda la tierra.&nbsp; Eso explica que seguimos siendo una sola raza y que diferentes grupos de personas terminaron en diferentes lugares.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Pero, ¿cómo obtuvimos un montón de personas de diferentes colores si todos somos una sola raza?&nbsp; Bueno, sigue conmigo.&nbsp; Esto, por supuesto, es una explicación simplificada, pero los principios básicos son verdaderos.&nbsp; Todos tenemos un pigmento en nuestro cuerpo llamado melanina que, dependiendo de diferentes variables, produce diferentes tonos del color de piel principal que todos poseemos.&nbsp; Varios genes controlan la cantidad de melanina producida y, por lo tanto, la variabilidad en el tono de la piel.&nbsp; De hecho, es fácil que una pareja produzca una amplia gama de variabilidad en el tono de la piel en una sola generación, como veremos en un momento.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Es hora de una lección rápida de genética.&nbsp; El ADN es la molécula de la herencia que se transmite de padres a hijos.&nbsp; Un niño hereda 23 cromosomas de cada padre.&nbsp; Cada par de cromosomas contiene cientos de genes que regulan el desarrollo físico del niño.&nbsp; Sin embargo, para ilustrar los principios genéticos básicos relacionados con el tema, solo hablaremos de dos genes, los genes que controlan la producción de melanina.&nbsp; Así que, la letra mayúscula “A” y la letra mayúscula “B” simbolizan versiones del gen que codifican grandes cantidades de melanina, mientras que la minúscula “a” y la minúscula “b” codifican pequeñas cantidades.&nbsp; ¿Entendido?&nbsp; Fácil.&nbsp; Echa un vistazo a esto.&nbsp; Mira la parte superior izquierda.&nbsp; Digamos que papá aporta los genes mayúscula “A” y mayúscula “B”, y mamá aporta también los genes mayúscula “A” y mayúscula “B”.&nbsp; Juntos produjeron un niño con mayúscula “A”, mayúscula “A”, mayúscula “B” y mayúscula “B”.&nbsp; Este es un niño con mucha melanina y, por lo tanto, tendrá una piel muy oscura.&nbsp; Fácil de ver.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Aquí está el punto más importante.&nbsp; Digamos que papá aporta mayúscula “A”, mayúscula “B” y mamá aporta minúscula “a” y minúscula “b”.&nbsp; Bueno, la piel del niño será de un tono marrón medio.&nbsp; La combinación de mayúscula “A”, minúscula “a”, y mayúscula “B”, minúscula “b”, que, por cierto, representa a la mayoría de la población mundial.&nbsp; No solo eso, sino que si cada padre es mayúscula “A” y minúscula “a”, mayúscula “B”, minúscula “b”, las combinaciones que podrían producirse en sus hijos podrían resultar en una gama muy amplia de tonos de piel en una sola generación.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Entonces, dado que Adán y Eva fueron las primeras personas que existieron, tiene sentido concluir que Dios colocó en ellos una combinación de genes que podría producir todos los diferentes tonos de piel que vemos.&nbsp; Esas mismas combinaciones estarían presentes en Noé y las otras siete personas que subieron al arca.&nbsp; Y porque Dios dispersó a las personas en la Torre de Babel, dispersó la población, aislando así los acervos genéticos en los diferentes grupos de personas.&nbsp; Con el tiempo, se formaron diferentes culturas en diferentes lugares, con ciertas características como el tono de la piel volviéndose predominante, y aquí estamos hoy.&nbsp; Y como todos descendemos de Noé y su familia, tiene sentido que seamos todos diferentes tonos de marrón, una sola raza, múltiples grupos de personas, tal como la Biblia enseña.&nbsp; Simplificado, por supuesto, pero suficiente por ahora.\u003C\u002Fp>","\n\nPourquoi y a-t-il différentes races?","\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Si nous descendons tous d’Adam et Ève, d’où viennent alors toutes les races ?

Comment peut-il y avoir autant de races dans le monde si nous sommes tous descendants d’Adam et Ève&nbsp;?&nbsp; Eh bien, regardez ça.&nbsp; Tout d’abord, parlons du mot «&nbsp;race&nbsp;».&nbsp; Parfois, quand les gens utilisent ce mot, ils parlent de races supposées d’humains qui auraient évolué à des époques différentes ou dans des lieux différents.&nbsp; Ce n’est pas vrai.&nbsp; Bien sûr, le mot «&nbsp;race&nbsp;» est aussi un terme que nous utilisons pour distinguer des groupes ayant des traits physiques différents, notamment la couleur de la peau.&nbsp; Mais existe-t-il vraiment des races différentes&nbsp;?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Jetez un coup d’œil à Actes 17:26 où il est écrit que Dieu, à partir d’un seul homme, a fait toutes les nations des hommes.&nbsp; Il est donc clair que la Bible enseigne qu’il y a une seule race, la race humaine.&nbsp; La Bible affirme aussi clairement que tous les peuples de la terre descendent d’Adam et Ève, créés par Dieu.&nbsp; Consultez Genèse 1:26-28, c’est simple.&nbsp; Dieu a créé deux personnes à son image, un homme et une femme, et leur a dit de se multiplier.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Ainsi, Adam et Ève sont le papa et la maman de la race humaine.&nbsp; Ensuite, leurs enfants ont eu des enfants, et ces enfants en ont eu d’autres, et ainsi de suite pendant de nombreuses générations, jusqu’à ce que, selon Genèse 6:9, la population mondiale soit réduite à huit personnes qui ont été protégées dans une arche pendant un déluge mondial, et ces huit personnes ont ensuite quitté l’arche et, selon Genèse 9:19, d’elles sont issus les peuples dispersés sur toute la terre.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Attendez une seconde – que veux-je dire par «&nbsp;dispersés&nbsp;»&nbsp;?&nbsp; Eh bien, passez à Genèse 11 et parlons d’un événement connu sous le nom de la tour de Babel.&nbsp; En gros, à cause des actions pécheresses des descendants de Noé, le Seigneur a confondu leur langue et les a dispersés de là sur toute la terre.&nbsp; C’est assez clair et concis.&nbsp; D’accord.&nbsp; Nous avons donc beaucoup de gens qui descendaient des huit personnes sorties de l’arche et qui ont été dispersés sur toute la terre.&nbsp; Cela explique que nous soyons toujours une seule race et que différents groupes de personnes se soient retrouvés à des endroits différents.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Mais comment avons-nous obtenu des gens de couleurs différentes si nous sommes tous d’une seule race&nbsp;?&nbsp; Eh bien, suivez-moi.&nbsp; Bien sûr, c’est une explication simplifiée, mais les principes de base sont vrais.&nbsp; Nous avons tous un pigment dans notre corps appelé mélanine qui, selon différentes variables, produit différentes nuances de la couleur de peau principale que nous possédons tous.&nbsp; Plusieurs gènes contrôlent la quantité de mélanine produite et, par conséquent, la variabilité de la teinte de la peau.&nbsp; En fait, il est facile pour un couple de produire une large gamme de variations de teintes de peau en une seule génération, comme nous le verrons dans un instant.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Voici une petite leçon de génétique.&nbsp; L’ADN est la molécule de l’hérédité qui est transmise des parents aux enfants.&nbsp; Un enfant hérite de 23 chromosomes de chaque parent.&nbsp; Chaque paire de chromosomes contient des centaines de gènes qui régulent le développement physique de l’enfant.&nbsp; Cependant, pour illustrer les principes génétiques de base liés au sujet, nous parlerons seulement de deux gènes, ceux qui contrôlent la production de mélanine.&nbsp; Ainsi, la lettre majuscule «&nbsp;A&nbsp;» et la lettre majuscule «&nbsp;B&nbsp;» symbolisent des versions du gène qui codent pour de grandes quantités de mélanine, tandis que le «&nbsp;a&nbsp;» minuscule et le «&nbsp;b&nbsp;» minuscule codent pour de petites quantités.&nbsp; Compris&nbsp;?&nbsp; Facile.&nbsp; Regardez ça.&nbsp; Regardez en haut à gauche.&nbsp; Disons que papa apporte les gènes «&nbsp;A&nbsp;» majuscule et «&nbsp;B&nbsp;» majuscule et que maman apporte aussi les gènes «&nbsp;A&nbsp;» majuscule et «&nbsp;B&nbsp;» majuscule.&nbsp; Ensemble, ils ont produit un enfant avec «&nbsp;A&nbsp;» majuscule, «&nbsp;A&nbsp;» majuscule, «&nbsp;B&nbsp;» majuscule et «&nbsp;B&nbsp;» majuscule.&nbsp; C’est un enfant avec beaucoup de mélanine et, par conséquent, il aura une peau très foncée.&nbsp; Facile à voir.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Voici cependant le point le plus important.&nbsp; Disons que papa apporte «&nbsp;A&nbsp;» majuscule, «&nbsp;B&nbsp;» majuscule et que maman apporte «&nbsp;a&nbsp;» minuscule et «&nbsp;b&nbsp;» minuscule.&nbsp; Eh bien, la peau de l’enfant sera d’une teinte brune moyenne.&nbsp; La combinaison de «&nbsp;A&nbsp;» majuscule, «&nbsp;a&nbsp;» minuscule, et «&nbsp;B&nbsp;» majuscule, «&nbsp;b&nbsp;» minuscule qui, soit dit en passant, représente la majorité de la population mondiale.&nbsp; De plus, si chaque parent est «&nbsp;A&nbsp;» majuscule et «&nbsp;a&nbsp;» minuscule, «&nbsp;B&nbsp;» majuscule, «&nbsp;b&nbsp;» minuscule, les combinaisons qui pourraient être produites chez leurs enfants pourraient donner une très large gamme de teintes de peau en une seule génération.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Donc, puisque Adam et Ève étaient les premiers humains, il est logique de conclure que Dieu a placé en eux une combinaison de gènes qui pouvait produire toutes les différentes teintes de peau que nous voyons.&nbsp;

Au fil du temps, différentes cultures se sont formées dans différents endroits, certaines caractéristiques comme la teinte de la peau devenant prédominantes, et nous voici aujourd’hui.&nbsp; Et puisque nous remontons tous à Noé et à sa famille, il est logique que nous soyons tous de différentes nuances de brun, une seule race, plusieurs groupes de personnes, exactement comme la Bible l’enseigne.&nbsp;

Remember, Satan’s goal is to paralyze you and doubt is one of his favorite poisons for a Christian. The last thing he wants you to do is actively tell people that the bad things they have done, like telling a single lie, separate them from God because He is perfect, so they can’t go to Heaven, but only to Hell. The last thing Satan wants you to tell them is, God loves them so much that He came as Jesus to live a perfect life, so He could take all of their punishment, and die in their place, only to rise again from the dead. He for sure doesn't want you to say all anyone has to do is just believe God took all their sins away through Jesus, so they can go to Heaven (Eph 2:8-9, John 5:24).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Of course, the thought of this actually being true also creates doubt in Christians, like, “What type of monster would send people to the Hell forever?” “Why couldn’t God save everybody if He is so powerful?” “Why does Christianity have to be the only way?” “Why does God want to keep me from having a good time? There are quick answers to all of these.

God is not a monster. What type of monster would die to save you from the bad things that you did that separate you from Him? He is the Savior from our sin (Romans 3:23). God gives everyone the ability to know what is right and wrong, if they keep making bad decisions, that gut check is less noticeable (Romans 1:20, Romans 1:24). If God made everyone go to Heaven without giving them a choice, then love could not exist. Think about it, if someone forced you to love them, is that really love? Of course not, love is a choice.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Christianity is the only way because it is the truth. Have you noticed that truth does not contradict itself? All the other religions say they are the only ones that are right, but they don’t have the evidence to back it up. Did you know that you could go to church for your entire life and not know how we got the Bible? This is a tragedy, because if people learned how we got the Bible, they would be like, “Case closed. There is no way anything else can be true.” So, let’s go into how we got the Bible, really quick, because it is so foundational.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">The Bible was written down by 40 different authors, most of them never met each other, over a period of 1600 years, and it still tells the same story that lines up perfectly with archaeological data, history and psychology. Every other “Holy” book doesn’t match these same standards, and they teach that you have to do some type of work to earn forgiveness for the bad things you have done. You don’t even know if you have done enough until you die. But the Bible tells us, you can know if you are going to Heaven right now. Of course, you are on a website that will go into a whole lot more detail, but the point is, the Bible has to be true.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Ok, so this leaves us with the last question, “Why does God want to keep you from having a good time?” Catch this, God did not give us rules because He hates us, He gave us rules because He loves us and wants us to have the best time we can on earth. Think about this, would you want to put someone in charge of your bank account, when you know they don’t mind stealing? Or, would you want a known liar babysitting your children? The list goes on, and on. What God tells us not to do makes so much sense.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">So why should we listen to God? Well, think of it this way. There is a miracle happening right now. As you are reading there are invisible sound waves vibrating onto your eardrum. On the other side of your eardrum, there are three little bones that line up and attach to your cochlea, which is a small snail shell looking structure that is filled with water and has thousands of hairs on it’s walls. As the water moves, these hairs act like piano keys and create electronic signals, so your brain can just begin to understand what I am saying right now. Do you see where this is going? It doesn’t make sense to think you have the authority to say what God can and cannot do, because you have no idea how your ear was created or how the parts run on their own. So of course, God knows what is best for us.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Is it ok to doubt? Yes, it is okay to doubt! Look at Hebrews 11, which is a famous Bible chapter that celebrates men and women of incredible faith. In this chapter, most of those mentioned that had incredible faith also suffered from doubt.&nbsp; Abraham doubted, Samson and Gideon doubted, so did Jacob and Isaac, and on and on we go. So, as a Christian you are definitely, 100%, going to experience moments of doubt!&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Did you know, many Christians do not realize all you need is a mustard seed of faith, and Jesus says you then can move mountains (Matt. 17:20)? Jesus talked to a man with a mountain in His life that needed to be moved. Do you remember the story in the Bible where a father was pleading with Jesus to heal his son (Mark 9:24). Jesus said anything is possible for those who believe. The man cried out to Jesus, “I believe; help my unbelief!” His child was then healed.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Jesus didn’t refuse because the man wasn’t 100% certain. His core belief was enough! The man did act on his belief even though He battled with doubt. You can doubt God exists. You can doubt Jesus loves you. You can doubt your going to Heaven, but if you have that mustard seed, you are good to go. This is why, in so many Gospel passages, you see the word, “Believe,” that is not by accident. John 5:24 says: “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgement, but has passed out of death into life.” Believing that Jesus took your sins away is all you have to do. It's not by your work, it is always by His! That is why we worship Him as Lord and Savior! \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">So here are a few more questions for you, but this time you need to answer them. When you decided to give up on God, were you consistently praying, reading scripture and sharing your faith? During your time when you were close with God, and someone told you that Jesus was not real and didn’t love you, wouldn’t you look at the person like they were crazy? You just need to believe again, right now, and ask God to help you. \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; white-space: pre-wrap;\">We love you, God loves you, and no matter what your list is, God will wash you clean again, just ask Him.

Recuerda, el objetivo de Satanás es paralizarte y la duda es uno de sus venenos favoritos para un cristiano. Lo último que quiere que hagas es decirle activamente a las personas que las cosas malas que han hecho, como decir una sola mentira, las separan de Dios porque Él es perfecto, por lo que no pueden ir al Cielo, sino solo al Infierno. Lo último que Satanás quiere que les digas es que Dios los ama tanto que vino como Jesús para vivir una vida perfecta, para poder tomar todo su castigo y morir en su lugar, solo para resucitar de entre los muertos. Él definitivamente no quiere que digas que todo lo que cualquiera tiene que hacer es simplemente creer que Dios quitó todos sus pecados a través de Jesús, para que puedan ir al Cielo (Efesios 2:8-9, Juan 5:24).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Por supuesto, el pensamiento de que esto sea realmente cierto también crea dudas en los cristianos, como: “¿Qué tipo de monstruo enviaría a la gente al Infierno para siempre?” “¿Por qué Dios no podría salvar a todos si es tan poderoso?” “¿Por qué el cristianismo tiene que ser el único camino?” “¿Por qué Dios quiere impedirme pasar un buen rato?” Hay respuestas rápidas para todas estas. ¿Estás listo?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Dios no quiere que nadie vaya al Infierno (2 Pedro 3:9), ama al mundo entero y quiere que todos vayan al Cielo (Juan 3:16). Dios no es un monstruo. ¿Qué tipo de monstruo moriría para salvarte de las cosas malas que hiciste que te separan de Él? Él es el Salvador de nuestro pecado (Romanos 3:23). Dios le da a todos la capacidad de saber lo que está bien y lo que está mal; si siguen tomando malas decisiones, esa verificación interna se vuelve menos perceptible (Romanos 1:20, Romanos 1:24). Si Dios hiciera que todos fueran al Cielo sin darles una opción, entonces el amor no podría existir. Piénsalo, si alguien te obligara a amarlo, ¿eso es realmente amor?

Ni siquiera sabes si has hecho lo suficiente hasta que mueres. Pero la Biblia nos dice que puedes saber si vas al Cielo ahora mismo.

Lo que Dios nos dice que no hagamos tiene mucho sentido.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Entonces, ¿por qué deberíamos escuchar a Dios? Bueno, piénsalo de esta manera. Hay un milagro sucediendo ahora mismo. Mientras lees, hay ondas sonoras invisibles vibrando en tu tímpano. Al otro lado de tu tímpano, hay tres huesecillos que se alinean y se conectan a tu cóclea, que es una estructura pequeña con forma de concha de caracol llena de agua y que tiene miles de pelos en sus paredes. A medida que el agua se mueve, estos pelos actúan como teclas de piano y crean señales electrónicas, para que tu cerebro pueda comenzar a entender lo que estoy diciendo ahora mismo. ¿Ves a dónde voy con esto? No tiene sentido pensar que tienes la autoridad para decir lo que Dios puede y no puede hacer, porque no tienes idea de cómo se creó tu oído ni de cómo funcionan sus partes por sí solas. Así que, por supuesto, Dios sabe lo que es mejor para nosotros.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">¿Está bien dudar? ¡Sí, está bien dudar! Mira Hebreos 11, que es un famoso capítulo de la Biblia que celebra a hombres y mujeres de fe increíble. En este capítulo, la mayoría de los mencionados que tenían una fe increíble también sufrieron de duda.&nbsp; Abraham dudó, Sansón y Gedeón dudaron, también Jacob e Isaac, y así sucesivamente. Así que, como cristiano, definitivamente, al 100%, vas a experimentar momentos de duda.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">¿Sabías que muchos cristianos no se dan cuenta de que todo lo que necesitas es una semilla de mostaza de fe, y Jesús dice que entonces puedes mover montañas (Mat. 17:20)? Jesús habló con un hombre que tenía una montaña en su vida que necesitaba ser movida. ¿Recuerdas la historia en la Biblia donde un padre le rogaba a Jesús que sanara a su hijo (Marcos 9:24)? Jesús dijo que todo es posible para los que creen. El hombre le gritó a Jesús: “¡Creo; ayuda mi incredulidad!” Entonces su hijo fue sanado.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Jesús no se negó porque el hombre no estaba 100% seguro. ¡Su creencia central fue suficiente! El hombre actuó según su creencia aunque luchaba con la duda. Puedes dudar de que Dios exista. Puedes dudar de que Jesús te ame. Puedes dudar de que irás al cielo, pero si tienes esa semilla de mostaza, estás bien. Es por eso que, en tantos pasajes del Evangelio, ves la palabra “Cree”, y no es por accidente. Juan 5:24 dice: “De cierto, de cierto os digo: El que oye mi palabra, y cree al que me envió, tiene vida eterna; y no vendrá a condenación, mas ha pasado de muerte a vida.” Creer que Jesús quitó tus pecados es todo lo que tienes que hacer. No es por tu obra, ¡siempre es por la de Él! ¡Por eso lo adoramos como Señor y Salvador!\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Así que aquí tienes algunas preguntas más para ti, pero esta vez necesitas responderlas. Cuando decidiste abandonar a Dios, ¿estabas orando consistentemente, leyendo las Escrituras y compartiendo tu fe? Durante el tiempo en que estabas cerca de Dios, y alguien te dijera que Jesús no era real y no te amaba, ¿no mirarías a esa persona como si estuviera loca? Solo necesitas creer de nuevo, ahora mismo, y pedirle a Dios que te ayude.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Te amamos, Dios te ama, y sin importar cuál sea tu lista, Dios te lavará limpio de nuevo, solo pídeselo. ¡Agradece a Dios por Su Hijo que quita los pecados del mundo!

Souvenez-vous, le but de Satan est de vous paralyser et le doute est l’un de ses poisons préférés pour un chrétien. La dernière chose qu’il veut que vous fassiez, c’est de dire activement aux gens que les mauvaises choses qu’ils ont commises, comme dire un seul mensonge, les séparent de Dieu parce qu’Il est parfait, donc ils ne peuvent pas aller au Ciel, mais seulement en Enfer. La dernière chose que Satan veut que vous leur disiez, c’est que Dieu les aime tellement qu’Il est venu en Jésus pour vivre une vie parfaite, afin de pouvoir prendre tout leur châtiment et mourir à leur place, pour ressusciter ensuite d’entre les morts. Il ne veut certainement pas que vous disiez que tout ce que quiconque a à faire est simplement de croire que Dieu a enlevé tous leurs péchés par Jésus, afin qu’ils puissent aller au Ciel (Éph 2:8-9, Jean 5:24).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Bien sûr, la pensée que cela soit réellement vrai crée aussi le doute chez les chrétiens, comme : « Quel genre de monstre enverrait des gens en Enfer pour toujours ? » « Pourquoi Dieu ne pourrait-il pas sauver tout le monde s’Il est si puissant ? » « Pourquoi le christianisme doit-il être la seule voie ? » « Pourquoi Dieu veut-il m’empêcher de bien m’amuser ? » Il y a des réponses rapides à toutes ces questions.

Dieu n’est pas un monstre. Quel genre de monstre mourrait pour vous sauver des mauvaises choses que vous avez faites et qui vous séparent de Lui ? Il est le Sauveur de notre péché (Romains 3:23). Dieu donne à chacun la capacité de savoir ce qui est bien et mal ; si l’on continue à prendre de mauvaises décisions, ce contrôle intérieur devient moins perceptible (Romains 1:20, Romains 1:24). Si Dieu forçait tout le monde à aller au Ciel sans leur donner le choix, alors l’amour ne pourrait pas exister. Réfléchissez-y : si quelqu’un vous forçait à l’aimer, est-ce vraiment de l’amour ? Bien sûr que non, l’amour est un choix.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Le christianisme est la seule voie parce qu’il est la vérité. Avez-vous remarqué que la vérité ne se contredit pas elle-même ? Toutes les autres religions disent qu’elles sont les seules à avoir raison, mais elles n’ont pas de preuves pour le démontrer. Saviez-vous que vous pourriez aller à l’église toute votre vie sans savoir comment nous avons obtenu la Bible ? C’est une tragédie, car si les gens apprenaient comment nous avons obtenu la Bible, ils diraient : « Affaire classée. Il est impossible que quoi que ce soit d’autre soit vrai. » Alors, voyons rapidement comment nous avons obtenu la Bible, car c’est si fondamental.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">La Bible a été écrite par 40 auteurs différents, dont la plupart ne se sont jamais rencontrés, sur une période de 1600 ans, et elle raconte toujours la même histoire qui s’aligne parfaitement avec les données archéologiques, l’histoire et la psychologie. Tous les autres livres « saints » ne répondent pas aux mêmes critères, et ils enseignent qu’il faut accomplir une sorte d’œuvre pour mériter le pardon des mauvaises choses que l’on a faites. On ne sait même pas si on en a fait assez avant de mourir. Mais la Bible nous dit que l’on peut savoir dès maintenant si l’on ira au Ciel. Bien sûr, vous êtes sur un site web qui entrera dans beaucoup plus de détails, mais le point est que la Bible doit être vraie.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Alors, cela nous laisse avec la dernière question : « Pourquoi Dieu veut-il vous empêcher de bien vous amuser ? » Comprenez ceci : Dieu ne nous a pas donné des règles parce qu’Il nous déteste, Il nous a donné des règles parce qu’Il nous aime et veut que nous passions le meilleur moment possible sur terre. Réfléchissez-y : voudriez-vous confier votre compte bancaire à quelqu’un qui n’hésite pas à voler ? Ou laisseriez-vous un menteur notoire garder vos enfants ? La liste continue. Ce que Dieu nous dit de ne pas faire a tellement de sens.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Alors pourquoi devrions-nous écouter Dieu ? Eh bien, pensez-y de cette façon. Il y a un miracle qui se produit en ce moment même. Alors que vous lisez, des ondes sonores invisibles vibrent sur votre tympan. De l’autre côté de votre tympan, il y a trois petits os qui s’alignent et se fixent à votre cochlée, une petite structure en forme de coquille d’escargot remplie d’eau et qui possède des milliers de poils sur ses parois. Lorsque l’eau se déplace, ces poils agissent comme des touches de piano et créent des signaux électroniques, afin que votre cerveau puisse commencer à comprendre ce que je dis en ce moment. Voyez-vous où je veux en venir ? Il n’est pas logique de penser que vous avez l’autorité pour dire ce que Dieu peut ou ne peut pas faire, car vous n’avez aucune idée de la façon dont votre oreille a été créée ni de la manière dont ses parties fonctionnent d’elles-mêmes. Bien sûr, Dieu sait donc ce qui est le mieux pour nous.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Est-ce que c’est bien de douter ? Oui, il est tout à fait normal de douter ! Regardez Hébreux 11, un célèbre chapitre de la Bible qui célèbre des hommes et des femmes d’une foi incroyable. Dans ce chapitre, la plupart de ceux qui sont mentionnés pour leur foi extraordinaire ont aussi souffert du doute. Abraham a douté, Samson et Gédéon ont douté, tout comme Jacob et Isaac, et ainsi de suite. Donc, en tant que chrétien, vous allez certainement, à 100 %, vivre des moments de doute !\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Saviez-vous que beaucoup de chrétiens ne réalisent pas que tout ce dont vous avez besoin est un grain de sénevé de foi, et Jésus dit que vous pouvez alors déplacer des montagnes (Matt. 17:20) ? Jésus a parlé à un homme qui avait une montagne dans sa vie qui devait être déplacée. Vous souvenez-vous de l’histoire dans la Bible où un père suppliait Jésus de guérir son fils (Marc 9:24) ? Jésus a dit que tout est possible pour ceux qui croient. L’homme a crié à Jésus : « Je crois ! Viens en aide à mon incrédulité ! » Son enfant a alors été guéri.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Jésus n’a pas refusé parce que l’homme n’était pas certain à 100 %. Sa croyance fondamentale suffisait ! L’homme a agi selon sa croyance même s’il luttait contre le doute. Vous pouvez douter que Dieu existe. Vous pouvez douter que Jésus vous aime. Vous pouvez douter d’aller au ciel, mais si vous avez ce grain de sénevé, vous êtes prêt. C’est pourquoi, dans tant de passages de l’Évangile, on voit le mot « Crois », ce n’est pas un hasard. Jean 5:24 dit : « En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, celui qui écoute ma parole, et croit celui qui m’a envoyé, a la vie éternelle et ne vient point en jugement, mais il est passé de la mort à la vie. » Croire que Jésus a ôté vos péchés est tout ce que vous avez à faire. Ce n’est pas par vos œuvres, c’est toujours par les Siennes !

Lorsque vous avez décidé d’abandonner Dieu, priiez-vous régulièrement, lisiez-vous les Écritures et partagiez-vous votre foi ? Pendant la période où vous étiez proche de Dieu, et que quelqu’un vous disait que Jésus n’était pas réel et ne vous aimait pas, ne regarderiez-vous pas cette personne comme si elle était folle ? Il vous suffit de croire à nouveau, dès maintenant, et de demander à Dieu de vous aider.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Nous vous aimons, Dieu vous aime, et peu importe votre liste, Dieu vous lavera à nouveau, il suffit de le Lui demander.

Genesis 3:21 (Bereshit) tells us the following: “The Lord God made clothing from skins for the man and his wife, and he clothed them.” So an actual death happened that day, and it painted the picture that God’s pardoning of sinners requires a sacrifice.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>So the thread continued. When God demanded an offering from Adam and Eve’s first two children, Cain and Abel, God accepted Abel’s sacrifice. One reason for this was likely it was a substitute. Abel offered from the flock, whereas Cain just offered plants. Then as we move further down the line, God tests Abraham by telling him to sacrifice his one and only son Isaac. When they are going on the way, and Isaac asks, where is the lamb for the sacrifice, Abraham replies in Genesis 22:8: “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” God prevented Abraham from sacrificing Isaac, but instead had a ram sacrificed instead. Yet, the promise was that God would provide the lamb. So then Isaac’s descendents become the nation of Israel. They were enslaved by the Egyptians for 400 years, and then God freed them by destroying Egypt with the 10 Plagues. On the night in which Israel was going to be finally freed, God brought the 10th plague, the death of the firstborn. God told every Israelite family to take a spotless lamb, sacrifice it, place its blood on the door of the house, and then eat the lamb, bitter herbs, and unleavened bread. When God’s angel of death passes through Egypt, He would pass over every house that had the blood of a lamb. This was the beginning of the holiday of Passover. Again, an innocent substitute, a lamb, died in the place of sinners so that God’s judgment would pass over them.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Well, after Israel was freed from Egypt, God told the Israelites, through Moses, to create a Tabernacle, and later a Temple, where an intricate sacrificial system would be set up. Every time an Israelite sinned, they were to make these blood sacrifices. Again, it goes back to God providing that first substitute in the Garden with the promise that one day the true Lamb of God would be the ultimate sacrifice. So for nearly 1,400 years, Israel made these sacrifices, and kept the Passover, so that the constant reminder would never be forgotten. Our sin is so bad, that the wages of sin is death! And for 1,400 years, the sacrifices kept pointing to the need of a substitute to take our penalty. But the fact that they had to keep making sacrifices proved that the blood of animals can’t actually take away our sins. Instead, it paints the picture of how God was going to save people. The ancient Israelites made these sacrifices by faith, knowing God would provide true atonement one day. So the entire Tanakh (the Scriptures Paul said Jesus died according to) painted this massive picture of the need for an innocent substitute to take our place.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Well, God did not only show us his plan by the history of Israel and systems He ordained. He also explicitly made it clear to the prophets. Most notably, God pulled this thread together in the writings of the prophet Isaiah. A perfect man (Adam) brought forth the curse. Animals could not undo it. Therefore, it required another perfect man (the Messiah) to reverse the curse. The clearest prophecy that tells us God would send a man to be that ultimate sacrifice comes in Isaiah 53 (Yeshayahu).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The prophecy actually starts in Isaiah 52:13 and goes all the way to the end of 53.

But like fools, we thought He was the one who was cursed. We failed to see it was Him being punished as payment for our sin. He was pierced because of our rebellion. Isaiah says He was crushed because our iniquities. Peace for us required punishment for Him. We are the ones who all sinned and turn away like rebellious sheep, and yet He is the one who paid the penalty for us all. Do you see how this prophecy is making it clear that God’s plan for a substitute was never meant to be bulls and goats, but it was all meant to point to this person? It is clear as day. In verse 7, He is again compared to the sacrifices of old.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>He was oppressed and afflicted,&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>yet he did not open his mouth.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Like a lamb led to the slaughter&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>and like a sheep silent before her shearers,&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>he did not open his mouth\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>These verses make three things clear. First, He committed no sins Himself. He was innocent. Therefore, He was innocent like the animals from the sacrificial system. Second, He was like a lamb led to the slaughter. Here comes that lamb terminology again. This is that thread we see going all the way back to Genesis. God will provide the lamb, and here Isaiah says this person is like the Passover lamb being led to the slaughter. Well, at the end of the Tanakh, none of this came to any sense of completion or fulfillment. The man of Isaiah 53, who fulfills the sacrificial system, had not come. And a Judaism without Yeshua has no answer for this. It would be a failed promise. But thanks be to God that He always keeps His promises. It is sad that many Jewish rabbis claim the Tanakh knows nothing of a Messiah dying as a substitute for our sins, and yet we just read a chapter that makes it clear. It is not an accident that the Jewish people every single year skip over this chapter in their Haftarah synagogue readings. The rabbis have kept this truth from the people.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Praise God, however, for when the fullness of the time had come, a final prophet of the Tanakh era, Yohannan the Immerser (John the Baptist), came as the forerunner of the Messiah. When he first saw Yeshua, he recognized that Yeshua was who Isaiah was talking about here. In John 1:29, John the Baptist said of Jesus: “Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” Yohannan had both the Passover and the entire sacrificial system in mind. And it is amazing how perfectly Yeshua fulfilled it all. He was born of a virgin as the prophet Isaiah predicted (Isaiah 7:14), which made it to where He was not infected with the sin nature of Adam. So He was the perfect human God required. And when the time for His crucifixion came, consider these facts:\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>In (Shemot) Exodus 12, it lays out the rules of the Passover. On the tenth day of the first month, Nissan, the Israelites were supposed to pick out a lamb that would be sacrificed. Well, on the tenth day of Nissan, in the year AD 30, Jesus entered Jerusalem from Bethlehem on a donkey. On the same day, all the lambs being raised each year in Bethlehem for Passover sacrifice were also quietly entering Jerusalem.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Once the lamb is selected, it is among the people for four days being inspected to make sure it is without flaw. Well, for the next four days, Jesus was in Jerusalem being tested by the leaders and found to be absolutely perfect, without any fault. That goes on until the 14th day of Nissan, which is the Passover.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003Cspan style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit;\">Finally, it was on the 14th day of Nissan that Yeshua was publicly executed on a cross, at the same time Passover lambs were being sacrificed in Jerusalem.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cspan style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Indeed, Yeshua HaMashiach is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Yeshua is our Passover. He is the Passover. He is the one Passover is meant to point to. Isn’t it amazing that Yeshua, the fulfillment of Passover, actually died on Passover. Isn’t amazing that everything that happens with the Passover lambs (being selected on the 10th day, being inspected 4 days, and being slaughtered on the 14th day) happened to Yeshua?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Not only did He fulfill the Passover and the sacrifice system in thematic way, but He matched the very details of the requirements of the sacrifice. And that is what it means for Paul to say Jesus died according to the Scriptures. Without this, the Tanakh closes with broken promises. It gives many cups half filled with hope, and it leaves them unfilled. But with Yeshua, the cups runneth over! By being the perfect sacrifice for our sins, there is no more need for the sacrificial system—that is why God abolished it one generation later. There’s no more wondering if on Yom Kippur our names will be sealed in the book of life. There’s no more fear that our sin separates us from God. And proof of this is found in this—not only did Yeshua die as our Passover on Passover, but He then rose as the firstfruits of the Resurrection on the very day of the Feast of Firstfruits. He poured out the Promised Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) seven weeks later on the Feast of Weeks. And very soon, He will fulfill remaining feasts with His second coming.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Fulfillment of Israel\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>The next thread has to deal with the existence of the people Israel itself. Jews rightly hold their chosen status dear to their hearts. To be God’s chosen people is a privilege. But to what end were the Jews chosen? In Genesis (Bereshit) 12 and 15, God promised to bless ALL nations through Abraham’s seed or offspring. And so he begat Isaac, who begat Jacob, who begat the 12 sons who became the 12 tribes of Israel. Israel was called to be a holy nation and a kingdom of priests (Shemot\u002FExodus 19:6). The world was to see the glory of God through Israel. Well, Israel failed. Through constant sin, rebellion, and worst of all idolatry, Israel failed to live up to the calling they received as God’s chosen people. But that was point. Abraham’s seed, Israel, was actually meant to be a single offspring all along. He is one who is the fullness of Israel. He is the one that is everything Israel was supposed to be and failed to be.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>In Isaiah (Yeshayahu) the prophet really turns our minds to this idea as he begins to tell us of the Servant of the Lord in four songs. In Isaiah 49:3, the Servant of the Lord is clearly called Israel. In him the nations will come to the God of Israel. And yet, just two verses later in Isaiah 49:5 the Servant is not Israel, but is called to save Israel. Isaiah writes, “And now, says the Lord, who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him so that Israel might be gathered to him.” So wait a second. Israel is the Servant, but then Israel needs to be saved by the Servant. Here’s how it works, the corporate Servant of the Lord, Israel, failed. So the mission was completed by the individual Servant of the Lord, who as the ideal and true Israel, would bring Israel back to God. Well, it then moves to the final song of the Servant in Isaiah 53, where the servant again is an individual dying for the sins of Israel and the nations. So putting this together, the Old Testament shows us there is a deep connection between Israel the nation and the Messiah as Israel personified. And the Messiah would fulfill everything that corporate Israel did not, and in so doing, fulfill God’s promises concerning Israel.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>If all we had was the Tanakh, then again, this would be another failed promise. But God did send the Messiah, Yeshua. God completed His divine revelation in the B’rit Hadasha (New Testament). And what does it show us? The Gospel of Matthew (Matityahu) was the Gospel written specifically for a Jewish audience, and so Matthew tailors it in such a way to show us that Yeshua indeed is the fulfillment of Israel itself. In the Jewish ordering of the Tanakh, the last book is 2 Chronicles. In Matthew, he opens with the same genealogy of kings we just finished reading in Chronicles. And from there, Matthew shows us how Yeshua is true Israel. Israel the nation was called out of Egypt. Jesus as a baby was taken to Egypt, so that God could likewise say, “Out of Egypt I called my Son” (Hoshea\u002FHosea 11:1). After Israel came out of Egypt, they were baptized into Moses through the Red Sea. The next scene after Yeshua comes from Egypt is He is baptized by Yohannan the Immerser (John the Baptist). After Israel passes through the water of the Red Sea, they enter the Wilderness for 40 years, where they fail at three major temptations. After Yeshua passes through the water of baptism, He is led into the Wilderness for 40 days, where He overcomes three temptations. After the 40 years are concluded, Moses gives the Law to Israel a second time from a mountain. After Yeshua’s 40 days are concluded, Matthew has Him on a mountain giving the Sermon on the Mount (an exposition of the Torah). Matthew went out of His way to show that Yeshua is the individual Servant who succeeds where the corporate Servant failed. Thus, it is true that through Israel all the nations will be blessed, because true Israel is Yeshua HaMashiach Himself. And when the people of the nations believe, they are grafted into Israel and inherit the promises of God.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>So in addition to Yeshua being the fulfillment of the Passover and Sacrificial System, He is also the fulfillment of Israel itself, being everything Israel failed to be. And in so doing, He saves both Israel and the nations, and makes us all one people. Truly, Jews fastened in faith to Yeshua are filled and complete as they were meant be, but this only can be through Yeshua the Messiah.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Fulfiller of the Tanakh Promises\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>God created the heavens and the earth in perfection. Adam and Eve’s sin cursed the heavens and the earth. God created humanity in perfection, but Adam and Eve’s sin cursed humanity. Sin and death completely conquered man and his environment. Yet, God promised salvation through the seed of the woman (Bereshit\u002FGenesis 3:15). In order for salvation to be salvation, God has to fix what was broken. Well, this lets us know just from Genesis 1-3, salvation requires a new heavens and a new earth. Salvation also requires a new untainted humanity to fill that new earth. Later the prophets will tell us this much.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Later God called a people to Himself, Israel, to be His holy nation. Yet, they failed. They failed so miserably, they were exiled from the Land of Israel, and then brought back. God promised this nation would be His people forever, and yet they continued to fail. God also promised a righteous king, a descendent of David. It turns out this king and the seed of the woman were to be the same person. Well, the sons of David failed miserably. Eventually, they lost the throne, and there hasn’t been a king in Israel since 587 B.C. Yet, the prophets insist that not only would David have a Son that permanently sits on the throne, but the Son would be divine (Yeshayahu\u002FIsaiah 9; Mikah\u002FMicah 5).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>In light of Israel’s constant failure to keep the Old Covenant, God promised a New Covenant, where God would actually change the hearts of His people. They would be new creatures. This hinted again at the need for a new humanity. Two agents would facilitate this new humanity. The Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) would be poured out on all humanity and there would be a resurrection from the dead, forever reversing the curse. There would be no more death. Well, if there is going to be a new humanity made up of immortal, Holy Spirit filled people, then this cursed world will have to be replaced too. Thus, Isaiah 65:17 promises a new heaven and a new earth.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>So pretty much the Tanakh leaves us waiting for a new heaven, new earth, new humanity, a new covenant, a perfected Israel, the salvation of the nations, the pouring out of the Ruach HaKodesh, and the arrival of an immortal Messiah to inherit the throne of David. If all we have is the Tanakh, then it is one massive failure. For in that case, God would have made all these promises from 1,400-400 B.C., only to then do nothing for the next 2,500 years! That makes no sense. God can’t end it that way. And He certainly would not leave it to the hands mere humans (the rabbis) to reinvent and reinterpret His promises.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Yet, when one opens up the pages of the B’rit Hadasha (New Testament), we see the promises begin to come together. The seed of the woman and the Messiah are Yeshua, the God-Man who died for our sins so that God could make us into the new humanity. He pours the Ruach HaKodesh upon us as a down payment, thus making us a new humanity right now in part, and will bring it in fullness at the resurrection. He already started the resurrection by resurrecting Himself as the first fruits. For the last 2,000 years He has been saving people from the nations, to where now the God of Israel is known all over the world. The New Covenant has arrived, where God gives us the circumcised heart He mentioned to Moses back in D’varim\u002FDeuteronomy 30:6. Once we gather God’s chosen out of all the nations, then He will close out all the other promises, and all will be fulfilled. Clearly, the Tanakh necessitates a completion of divine revelation, and that completion is found only in the B’rit Hadasha (New Testament).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Conclusion\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>So what can we say? Clearly Yeshua is the Messiah and is the fulfillment of all God’s promises. He is the fulfillment of every pattern, or type and shadow, that God provided through His actions and commands within history. This is most clearly seen in the sacrificial system, but there are many more examples that can be offered. It is no coincidence that after the sacrifice of Yeshua, the Temple sacrifices stopped within one Jewish generation. And even during the course of that generation, the scarlet thread on Yom Kippur never turned white again (Rosh HaShanah 31b). This is because He fulfilled the entire system of sacrifices. And perhaps most poignant, all of Israel’s hopes and dreams are fulfilled in Yeshua because He is Himself Israel in the truest sense. We pray that seeing these truths all across the Scriptures convinces you of the need to receive Yeshua as Lord and Messiah. When Paul the Apostle was writing about the present and future of Israel, he said in Romans 10:9-10, “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation.” This was true 2,000 years ago. This is true now. When Israel receives her Messiah, the future promises will come (Romans 11:15). We pray that anyone reading this that does not know the Lord will come to know Him today.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>By Stephen Feinstein\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Ftruelife.org\u002Fanswers\u002Fhow-can-i-be-forgiven-and-go-to-heaven-video\">Click here if you are ready to be forgiven and go to Heaven!\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>","what-evidence-is-there-that-the-sacrificial-system-has-been-fulfilled-article","2021-06-10T20:36:33.951Z","2026-07-29T17:04:03.725Z","https:\u002F\u002Ftruelifeorg.s3.amazonaws.com\u002Fresources\u002Fjudiasm%20small.jpg","\n\n¿Cuál es la evidencia de que el sistema de sacrificios ha sido cumplido?","\u003Cdiv>\u003Cspan style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit;\">Después de que Adán y Eva pecaron, trayendo el pecado, la muerte y la maldición del universo, Dios perdonó la vida de Adán y Eva porque ofreció una muerte sustitutiva en su lugar. Génesis 3:21 (Bereshit) nos dice lo siguiente: “El Señor Dios hizo ropa de pieles para el hombre y su mujer, y los vistió.” Así que ocurrió una muerte real ese día, y pintó la imagen de que el perdón de los pecadores por parte de Dios requiere un sacrificio.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Así que el hilo continuó. Cuando Dios exigió una ofrenda de los dos primeros hijos de Adán y Eva, Caín y Abel, Dios aceptó el sacrificio de Abel. Una razón para esto fue probablemente que era un sustituto. Abel ofreció del rebaño, mientras que Caín solo ofreció plantas. Luego, a medida que avanzamos más en la línea, Dios pone a prueba a Abraham diciéndole que sacrifique a su único hijo Isaac. Cuando van de camino, e Isaac pregunta dónde está el cordero para el sacrificio, Abraham responde en Génesis 22:8: “Dios mismo proveerá el cordero para el holocausto, hijo mío.” Dios impidió que Abraham sacrificara a Isaac, pero en su lugar hizo que se sacrificara un carnero. Sin embargo, la promesa era que Dios proveería el cordero. Así que los descendientes de Isaac se convirtieron en la nación de Israel. Estuvieron esclavizados por los egipcios durante 400 años, y luego Dios los liberó destruyendo a Egipto con las 10 plagas. En la noche en que Israel iba a ser finalmente liberado, Dios trajo la 10ª plaga, la muerte de los primogénitos. Dios le dijo a cada familia israelita que tomara un cordero sin defecto, lo sacrificara, pusiera su sangre en la puerta de la casa, y luego comiera el cordero, hierbas amargas y pan sin levadura. Cuando el ángel de la muerte de Dios pasara por Egipto, pasaría por alto cada casa que tuviera la sangre de un cordero. Este fue el comienzo de la fiesta de la Pascua. De nuevo, un sustituto inocente, un cordero, murió en lugar de los pecadores para que el juicio de Dios pasara por alto a ellos.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Bueno, después de que Israel fue liberado de Egipto, Dios les dijo a los israelitas, a través de Moisés, que crearan un Tabernáculo, y más tarde un Templo, donde se establecería un intrincado sistema de sacrificios. Cada vez que un israelita pecaba, debían hacer estos sacrificios de sangre. De nuevo, se remonta a Dios proporcionando ese primer sustituto en el Jardín con la promesa de que algún día el verdadero Cordero de Dios sería el sacrificio definitivo. Así que durante casi 1.400 años, Israel hizo estos sacrificios y guardó la Pascua, para que el recordatorio constante nunca se olvidara. ¡Nuestro pecado es tan malo que el salario del pecado es la muerte! Y durante 1.400 años, los sacrificios seguían señalando la necesidad de un sustituto que tomara nuestra pena. Pero el hecho de que tuvieran que seguir haciendo sacrificios demostró que la sangre de los animales no puede quitar realmente nuestros pecados. En cambio, pinta la imagen de cómo Dios iba a salvar a las personas. Los antiguos israelitas hicieron estos sacrificios por fe, sabiendo que Dios proveería la verdadera expiación algún día. Así que todo el Tanaj (las Escrituras según las cuales Pablo dijo que Jesús murió) pintó esta imagen masiva de la necesidad de un sustituto inocente que tomara nuestro lugar.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Bueno, Dios no solo nos mostró su plan por la historia de Israel y los sistemas que Él ordenó. También lo dejó explícitamente claro a los profetas. En particular, Dios unió este hilo en los escritos del profeta Isaías. Un hombre perfecto (Adán) trajo la maldición. Los animales no podían deshacerla. Por lo tanto, requería otro hombre perfecto (el Mesías) para revertir la maldición. La profecía más clara que nos dice que Dios enviaría a un hombre para ser ese sacrificio definitivo viene en Isaías 53 (Yeshayahu).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>La profecía comienza en realidad en Isaías 52:13 y llega hasta el final del 53. Una parte de ella dice,\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Con todo, él llevó nuestras enfermedades,&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>y cargó con nuestros dolores;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>pero nosotros lo consideramos herido,&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>herido por Dios, y afligido.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>5 Mas él fue traspasado por nuestras rebeliones,&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>molido por nuestras iniquidades;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>el castigo por nuestra paz fue sobre él,&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>y por sus llagas fuimos nosotros curados.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>6 Todos nosotros nos descarriamos como ovejas;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>cada cual se apartó por su camino;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>y Jehová cargó en él el pecado de todos nosotros.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>En otras palabras, Él estaba llevando nuestra maldición. Pero como necios, pensamos que Él era el que estaba maldito. No logramos ver que Él estaba siendo castigado como pago por nuestro pecado. Fue traspasado por causa de nuestra rebelión. Isaías dice que fue molido por nuestras iniquidades. La paz para nosotros requería castigo para Él. Somos nosotros los que todos pecamos y nos apartamos como ovejas rebeldes, y sin embargo Él es el que pagó la pena por todos nosotros. ¿Ves cómo esta profecía deja claro que el plan de Dios para un sustituto nunca fue que fueran toros y cabras, sino que todo estaba destinado a señalar a esta persona? Está claro como el día. En el versículo 7, Él es comparado de nuevo con los sacrificios antiguos.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Angustiado él, y afligido,&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>no abrió su boca;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>como cordero fue llevado al matadero;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>y como oveja delante de sus trasquiladores, enmudeció,&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>y no abrió su boca\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>Estos versículos dejan tres cosas claras. Primero, Él no cometió pecados. Era inocente. Por lo tanto, era inocente como los animales del sistema de sacrificios. Segundo, Él era como un cordero llevado al matadero. Aquí vuelve esa terminología del cordero. Es ese hilo que vemos desde Génesis. Dios proveerá el cordero, y aquí Isaías dice que esta persona es como el cordero de la Pascua llevado al matadero. Bueno, al final del Tanaj, nada de esto llegó a ningún sentido de culminación o cumplimiento. El hombre de Isaías 53, que cumple el sistema de sacrificios, no había venido. Y un judaísmo sin Yeshúa no tiene respuesta para esto. Sería una promesa fallida. Pero gracias a Dios que Él siempre cumple Sus promesas. Es triste que muchos rabinos judíos afirmen que el Tanaj no sabe nada de un Mesías que muere como sustituto por nuestros pecados, y sin embargo acabamos de leer un capítulo que lo deja claro. No es un accidente que el pueblo judío cada año salte este capítulo en sus lecturas sinagogales de la Haftarah. Los rabinos han ocultado esta verdad al pueblo.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Alabado sea Dios, sin embargo, porque cuando llegó la plenitud del tiempo, un profeta final de la era del Tanaj, Yohannan el Inmersor (Juan el Bautista), vino como precursor del Mesías. Cuando vio por primera vez a Yeshúa, reconoció que Yeshúa era de quien hablaba Isaías aquí. En Juan 1:29, Juan el Bautista dijo de Jesús: “¡He aquí el Cordero de Dios, que quita el pecado del mundo!” Yohannan tenía en mente tanto la Pascua como todo el sistema de sacrificios. Y es asombroso cómo Yeshúa lo cumplió todo perfectamente. Nació de una virgen como predijo el profeta Isaías (Isaías 7:14), lo que hizo que no estuviera infectado con la naturaleza pecaminosa de Adán. Así que era el humano perfecto que Dios requería. Y cuando llegó el momento de Su crucifixión, consideren estos hechos:\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>En (Shemot) Éxodo 12, se establecen las reglas de la Pascua. El décimo día del primer mes, Nisán, los israelitas debían seleccionar un cordero que sería sacrificado. Bueno, el décimo día de Nisán, en el año 30 d. C., Jesús entró en Jerusalén desde Belén en un burro. El mismo día, todos los corderos que se criaban cada año en Belén para el sacrificio de la Pascua también entraban tranquilamente en Jerusalén.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Una vez seleccionado el cordero, permanece entre el pueblo durante cuatro días siendo inspeccionado para asegurarse de que no tiene defecto. Bueno, durante los siguientes cuatro días, Jesús estuvo en Jerusalén siendo probado por los líderes y se encontró que era absolutamente perfecto, sin ninguna falta. Eso continúa hasta el día 14 de Nisán, que es la Pascua.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003Cspan style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit;\">Finalmente, fue el día 14 de Nisán cuando Yeshúa fue ejecutado públicamente en una cruz, al mismo tiempo que los corderos de la Pascua estaban siendo sacrificados en Jerusalén.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cspan style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>En efecto, Yeshúa HaMashiach es el Cordero de Dios que quita los pecados del mundo.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Yeshúa es nuestra Pascua. Él es la Pascua. Él es a quien la Pascua está destinada a señalar. ¿No es asombroso que Yeshúa, el cumplimiento de la Pascua, muriera realmente en la Pascua? ¿No es asombroso que todo lo que sucede con los corderos de la Pascua (ser seleccionados el día 10, ser inspeccionados 4 días y ser sacrificados el día 14) le haya sucedido a Yeshúa?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>No solo cumplió la Pascua y el sistema de sacrificios de manera temática, sino que coincidió con los detalles mismos de los requisitos del sacrificio. Y eso es lo que significa cuando Pablo dice que Jesús murió según las Escrituras. Sin esto, el Tanaj termina con promesas rotas. Da muchas copas medio llenas de esperanza, y las deja sin llenar. Pero con Yeshúa, las copas rebosan. Al ser el sacrificio perfecto por nuestros pecados, ya no hay necesidad del sistema de sacrificios—por eso Dios lo abolió una generación después. Ya no hay que preguntarse si en Yom Kipur nuestros nombres serán sellados en el libro de la vida. Ya no hay temor de que nuestro pecado nos separe de Dios. Y la prueba de esto se encuentra en esto—no solo murió Yeshúa como nuestra Pascua en la Pascua, sino que luego resucitó como las primicias de la Resurrección el mismo día de la Fiesta de las Primicias. Derramó el Espíritu Santo Prometido (Ruaj HaKodesh) siete semanas después en la Fiesta de las Semanas. Y muy pronto, Él cumplirá las fiestas restantes con Su segunda venida.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Cumplimiento de Israel\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>El siguiente hilo tiene que ver con la existencia del pueblo de Israel mismo. Los judíos tienen razón en considerar su estatus elegido como algo muy querido para sus corazones. Ser el pueblo elegido de Dios es un privilegio. Pero ¿con qué fin fueron elegidos los judíos? En Génesis (Bereshit) 12 y 15, Dios prometió bendecir a TODAS las naciones a través de la descendencia o simiente de Abraham. Y así engendró a Isaac, quien engendró a Jacob, quien engendró a los 12 hijos que se convirtieron en las 12 tribus de Israel. Israel fue llamado a ser una nación santa y un reino de sacerdotes (Shemot\u002FÉxodo 19:6). El mundo debía ver la gloria de Dios a través de Israel. Bueno, Israel falló. A través del pecado constante, la rebelión y, peor aún, la idolatría, Israel no cumplió con el llamado que recibió como pueblo elegido de Dios. Pero ese era el punto. La simiente de Abraham, Israel, en realidad estaba destinada a ser una sola descendencia desde el principio. Él es quien es la plenitud de Israel. Él es quien es todo lo que Israel debía ser y falló en ser.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>En Isaías (Yeshayahu) el profeta realmente dirige nuestras mentes a esta idea cuando comienza a hablarnos del Siervo del Señor en cuatro cánticos. En Isaías 49:3, el Siervo del Señor es claramente llamado Israel. En él las naciones vendrán al Dios de Israel. Y sin embargo, solo dos versos después, en Isaías 49:5, el Siervo no es Israel, sino que es llamado a salvar a Israel. Isaías escribe: “Y ahora, dice el Señor, que me formó desde el vientre para ser su siervo, para hacer volver a Jacob a él, para que Israel se reuniera con él”. Así que espera un segundo. Israel es el Siervo, pero entonces Israel necesita ser salvado por el Siervo. Así es como funciona: el Siervo corporativo del Señor, Israel, falló. Por lo tanto, la misión fue completada por el Siervo individual del Señor, quien como el Israel ideal y verdadero, traería a Israel de vuelta a Dios. Luego pasa al cántico final del Siervo en Isaías 53, donde el siervo nuevamente es un individuo que muere por los pecados de Israel y de las naciones. Así que, juntando esto, el Antiguo Testamento nos muestra que hay una conexión profunda entre Israel la nación y el Mesías como Israel personificado. Y el Mesías cumpliría todo lo que Israel corporativo no cumplió, y al hacerlo, cumpliría las promesas de Dios acerca de Israel.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Si solo tuviéramos el Tanaj, entonces esto sería otra promesa fallida. Pero Dios sí envió al Mesías, Yeshua. Dios completó Su revelación divina en la B’rit Hadasha (Nuevo Testamento). ¿Y qué nos muestra? El Evangelio de Mateo (Matityahu) fue el Evangelio escrito específicamente para una audiencia judía, y por eso Mateo lo adapta de tal manera que nos muestra que Yeshua es efectivamente el cumplimiento de Israel mismo. En el ordenamiento judío del Tanaj, el último libro es 2 Crónicas. En Mateo, comienza con la misma genealogía de reyes que acabamos de terminar de leer en Crónicas. Y a partir de ahí, Mateo nos muestra cómo Yeshua es el verdadero Israel. Israel la nación fue llamado de Egipto. Jesús como bebé fue llevado a Egipto, para que Dios pudiera decir igualmente: “De Egipto llamé a mi Hijo” (Oseas\u002FHosea 11:1). Después de que Israel salió de Egipto, fueron bautizados en Moisés a través del Mar Rojo. La siguiente escena después de que Yeshua viene de Egipto es que es bautizado por Yohanan el Inmersor (Juan el Bautista). Después de que Israel pasa por las aguas del Mar Rojo, entran en el desierto por 40 años, donde fallan en tres tentaciones principales. Después de que Yeshua pasa por las aguas del bautismo, es llevado al desierto por 40 días, donde supera tres tentaciones. Después de que concluyen los 40 años, Moisés da la Ley a Israel por segunda vez desde un monte. Después de que concluyen los 40 días de Yeshua, Mateo lo tiene en un monte dando el Sermón del Monte (una exposición de la Torá). Mateo se esforzó por mostrar que Yeshua es el Siervo individual que triunfa donde el Siervo corporativo falló. Por lo tanto, es cierto que a través de Israel todas las naciones serán bendecidas, porque el verdadero Israel es el mismo Yeshua HaMashiach. Y cuando las personas de las naciones creen, son injertadas en Israel y heredan las promesas de Dios.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Así que además de que Yeshua es el cumplimiento de la Pascua y el Sistema Sacrificial, también es el cumplimiento de Israel mismo, siendo todo lo que Israel falló en ser. Y al hacerlo, salva tanto a Israel como a las naciones, y nos hace a todos un solo pueblo. Verdaderamente, los judíos arraigados en la fe en Yeshua están llenos y completos como debían ser, pero esto solo puede ser a través de Yeshua el Mesías.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Cumplidor de las promesas del Tanaj\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Dios creó los cielos y la tierra en perfección. El pecado de Adán y Eva maldijo los cielos y la tierra. Dios creó a la humanidad en perfección, pero el pecado de Adán y Eva maldijo a la humanidad. El pecado y la muerte conquistaron completamente al hombre y su entorno. Sin embargo, Dios prometió la salvación a través de la descendencia de la mujer (Bereshit\u002FGénesis 3:15). Para que la salvación sea salvación, Dios tiene que arreglar lo que estaba roto. Esto nos deja saber, solo desde Génesis 1-3, que la salvación requiere nuevos cielos y nueva tierra. La salvación también requiere una nueva humanidad inmaculada para llenar esa nueva tierra. Más tarde los profetas nos dirán esto.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Más tarde Dios llamó a un pueblo para Sí mismo, Israel, para que fuera Su nación santa. Sin embargo, fallaron. Fallaron tan miserablemente que fueron exiliados de la Tierra de Israel, y luego regresaron. Dios prometió que esta nación sería Su pueblo para siempre, y sin embargo continuaron fallando. Dios también prometió un rey justo, un descendiente de David. Resulta que este rey y la descendencia de la mujer serían la misma persona. Bueno, los hijos de David fallaron miserablemente. Eventualmente perdieron el trono, y no ha habido un rey en Israel desde el 587 a.C. Sin embargo, los profetas insisten en que no solo David tendría un Hijo que se sentaría permanentemente en el trono, sino que el Hijo sería divino (Yeshayahu\u002FIsaías 9; Miqueas\u002FMicah 5).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>A la luz del constante fracaso de Israel para guardar el Antiguo Pacto, Dios prometió un Nuevo Pacto, donde Dios realmente cambiaría los corazones de Su pueblo. Serían nuevas criaturas. Esto insinuaba de nuevo la necesidad de una nueva humanidad. Dos agentes facilitarían esta nueva humanidad. El Ruaj HaKodesh (Espíritu Santo) sería derramado sobre toda la humanidad y habría una resurrección de los muertos, revirtiendo para siempre la maldición. No habría más muerte. Bueno, si va a haber una nueva humanidad compuesta de personas inmortales llenas del Espíritu Santo, entonces este mundo maldito también tendrá que ser reemplazado. Así, Isaías 65:17 promete un nuevo cielo y una nueva tierra.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>Así que básicamente el Tanaj nos deja esperando un nuevo cielo, una nueva tierra, una nueva humanidad, un nuevo pacto, un Israel perfeccionado, la salvación de las naciones, el derramamiento del Ruaj HaKodesh y la llegada de un Mesías inmortal que herede el trono de David. Si todo lo que tenemos es el Tanaj, entonces es un fracaso masivo. Porque en ese caso, Dios habría hecho todas estas promesas desde el 1400-400 a. C., solo para luego no hacer nada durante los siguientes 2.500 años. Eso no tiene sentido. Dios no puede terminar así. Y ciertamente no lo dejaría en manos de simples humanos (los rabinos) para reinventar e reinterpretar Sus promesas.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Sin embargo, cuando uno abre las páginas de la B’rit Hadasha (Nuevo Testamento), vemos que las promesas comienzan a unirse. La simiente de la mujer y el Mesías son Yeshua, el Dios-Hombre que murió por nuestros pecados para que Dios pudiera hacernos en la nueva humanidad. Él derrama el Ruaj HaKodesh sobre nosotros como un anticipo, haciéndonos así una nueva humanidad ahora en parte, y lo traerá en plenitud en la resurrección. Él ya inició la resurrección resucitándose a Sí mismo como las primicias. Durante los últimos 2.000 años ha estado salvando gente de las naciones, hasta el punto de que ahora el Dios de Israel es conocido en todo el mundo. El Nuevo Pacto ha llegado, donde Dios nos da el corazón circuncidado que mencionó a Moisés en D’varim\u002FDeuteronomio 30:6. Una vez que reunamos a los elegidos de Dios de todas las naciones, entonces cerrará todas las demás promesas, y todo se cumplirá. Claramente, el Tanaj necesita una finalización de la revelación divina, y esa finalización se encuentra solo en la B’rit Hadasha (Nuevo Testamento).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Conclusión\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Entonces, ¿qué podemos decir? Claramente Yeshua es el Mesías y es el cumplimiento de todas las promesas de Dios. Él es el cumplimiento de cada patrón, o tipo y sombra, que Dios proveyó a través de Sus acciones y mandatos dentro de la historia. Esto se ve más claramente en el sistema de sacrificios, pero hay muchos más ejemplos que se pueden ofrecer. No es coincidencia que después del sacrificio de Yeshua, los sacrificios del Templo se detuvieran dentro de una generación judía. Y aun durante el transcurso de esa generación, el hilo escarlata en Yom Kipur nunca volvió a ponerse blanco (Rosh HaShaná 31b). Esto es porque Él cumplió todo el sistema de sacrificios. Y quizás lo más conmovedor, todas las esperanzas y sueños de Israel se cumplen en Yeshua porque Él mismo es Israel en el sentido más verdadero. Oramos para que ver estas verdades en todas las Escrituras te convenza de la necesidad de recibir a Yeshua como Señor y Mesías. Cuando el apóstol Pablo escribía sobre el presente y el futuro de Israel, dijo en Romanos 10:9-10: “Si confiesas con tu boca que Jesús es el Señor, y crees en tu corazón que Dios lo levantó de los muertos, serás salvo. Con el corazón se cree para justicia, y con la boca se confiesa para salvación.” Esto era verdad hace 2.000 años. Esto es verdad ahora. Cuando Israel reciba a su Mesías, las promesas futuras vendrán (Romanos 11:15). Oramos para que cualquiera que lea esto y no conozca al Señor llegue a conocerle hoy.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Por Stephen Feinstein\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Ftruelife.org\u002Fanswers\u002Fhow-can-i-be-forgiven-and-go-to-heaven-video\">Haz clic aquí si estás listo para ser perdonado e ir al Cielo.\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>","\n\nQuelles sont les preuves que le système sacrificiel a été accompli?","\u003Cdiv>\u003Cspan style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit;\">Après qu’Adam et Ève aient péché, introduisant ainsi le péché, la mort et la malédiction sur l’univers, Dieu épargna la vie d’Adam et Ève parce qu’il offrit une mort de substitution à leur place. Genèse 3:21 (Bereshit) nous dit ce qui suit : « L’Éternel Dieu fit à l’homme et à sa femme des vêtements de peau, et il les en revêtit. » Ainsi, une mort réelle eut lieu ce jour-là, et elle illustrait le fait que le pardon des pécheurs par Dieu exige un sacrifice.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Le fil se poursuivit. Lorsque Dieu exigea une offrande des deux premiers enfants d’Adam et Ève, Caïn et Abel, Dieu accepta le sacrifice d’Abel. Une des raisons était probablement qu’il s’agissait d’un substitut. Abel offrit du troupeau, tandis que Caïn offrit seulement des plantes. Puis, en avançant plus loin dans la lignée, Dieu mit Abraham à l’épreuve en lui demandant de sacrifier son fils unique, Isaac. Alors qu’ils étaient en chemin et qu’Isaac demandait où était l’agneau pour le sacrifice, Abraham répondit dans Genèse 22:8 : « Dieu lui-même pourvoira l’agneau pour l’holocauste, mon fils. » Dieu empêcha Abraham de sacrifier Isaac, mais fit sacrifier un bélier à la place. Pourtant, la promesse était que Dieu fournirait l’agneau. Ainsi, les descendants d’Isaac devinrent la nation d’Israël. Ils furent esclaves des Égyptiens pendant 400 ans, puis Dieu les libéra en détruisant l’Égypte par les dix plaies. La nuit où Israël allait enfin être libéré, Dieu amena la dixième plaie, la mort des premiers-nés. Dieu dit à chaque famille israélite de prendre un agneau sans défaut, de le sacrifier, de mettre son sang sur le linteau de la maison, puis de manger l’agneau, des herbes amères et du pain sans levain. Lorsque l’ange de la mort de Dieu passerait à travers l’Égypte, il passerait devant chaque maison qui avait le sang d’un agneau. Ce fut le début de la fête de la Pâque. Là encore, un substitut innocent, un agneau, mourut à la place des pécheurs afin que le jugement de Dieu passe devant eux.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Après qu’Israël fut libéré d’Égypte, Dieu dit aux Israélites, par Moïse, de construire un Tabernacle, puis plus tard un Temple, où un système sacrificiel complexe serait mis en place. Chaque fois qu’un Israélite péchait, il devait faire ces sacrifices sanglants. Cela remonte encore à Dieu qui fournit ce premier substitut dans le Jardin avec la promesse qu’un jour le véritable Agneau de Dieu serait le sacrifice ultime. Ainsi, pendant près de 1 400 ans, Israël fit ces sacrifices et célébra la Pâque, afin que ce rappel constant ne soit jamais oublié. Notre péché est si grave que le salaire du péché, c’est la mort ! Et pendant 1 400 ans, les sacrifices continuaient de montrer le besoin d’un substitut pour prendre notre peine. Mais le fait qu’ils aient dû continuer à faire des sacrifices prouvait que le sang des animaux ne pouvait pas réellement ôter nos péchés. Au contraire, cela illustrait comment Dieu allait sauver les gens. Les anciens Israélites faisaient ces sacrifices par la foi, sachant que Dieu fournirait un jour la véritable expiation. Ainsi, tout le Tanakh (les Écritures selon lesquelles Paul dit que Jésus est mort) peignait cette grande image du besoin d’un substitut innocent pour prendre notre place.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Or, Dieu ne nous a pas seulement montré son plan par l’histoire d’Israël et les systèmes qu’il a ordonnés. Il l’a aussi explicitement clarifié aux prophètes. Plus particulièrement, Dieu a rassemblé ce fil dans les écrits du prophète Ésaïe. Un homme parfait (Adam) a introduit la malédiction. Les animaux ne pouvaient pas l’annuler. Il fallait donc un autre homme parfait (le Messie) pour renverser la malédiction. La prophétie la plus claire qui nous dit que Dieu enverrait un homme pour être ce sacrifice ultime se trouve dans Ésaïe 53 (Yeshayahu).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>La prophétie commence en réalité dans Ésaïe 52:13 et va jusqu’à la fin du chapitre 53. Une partie en dit :\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Pourtant, lui-même a porté nos maladies,&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>et il a pris nos douleurs sur lui ;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>mais nous, nous l’avons considéré comme frappé,&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>frappé par Dieu et humilié.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>5 Mais il a été transpercé à cause de notre rébellion,&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>écrasé à cause de nos iniquités ;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>le châtiment qui nous donne la paix était sur lui,&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>et c’est par ses blessures que nous sommes guéris.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>6 Nous tous, comme des brebis, nous nous sommes égarés ;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>chacun de nous a suivi sa propre voie ;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>et l’Éternel a fait retomber sur lui&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>l’iniquité de nous tous.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>En d’autres termes, il portait notre malédiction. Mais, comme des insensés, nous pensions qu’il était celui qui était maudit. Nous n’avons pas vu que c’était lui qui était puni en paiement de notre péché. Il a été transpercé à cause de notre rébellion. Ésaïe dit qu’il a été écrasé à cause de nos iniquités. La paix pour nous exigeait le châtiment pour lui. C’est nous tous qui avons péché et qui nous sommes détournés comme des brebis rebelles, et pourtant c’est lui qui a payé la peine pour nous tous. Voyez-vous comment cette prophétie rend clair que le plan de Dieu pour un substitut n’était jamais censé être des taureaux et des boucs, mais que tout cela était destiné à pointer vers cette personne ? C’est clair comme le jour. Au verset 7, il est à nouveau comparé aux sacrifices d’autrefois.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Il a été opprimé et humilié,&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>et il n’a pas ouvert la bouche.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Comme un agneau qu’on mène à la boucherie&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>et comme une brebis muette devant ceux qui la tondent,&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>il n’a pas ouvert la bouche\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>Ces versets rendent trois choses claires. Premièrement, Il n’a commis aucun péché Lui-même. Il était innocent. Par conséquent, Il était innocent comme les animaux du système sacrificiel. Deuxièmement, Il était comme un agneau conduit à l’abattoir. Voici de nouveau cette terminologie de l’agneau. C’est ce fil que nous voyons remonter jusqu’à la Genèse. Dieu fournira l’agneau, et ici Ésaïe dit que cette personne est comme l’agneau pascal conduit à l’abattoir. Eh bien, à la fin du Tanakh, rien de tout cela n’est parvenu à un quelconque achèvement ou accomplissement. L’homme d’Ésaïe 53, qui accomplit le système sacrificiel, n’était pas venu. Et un judaïsme sans Yeshua n’a pas de réponse à cela. Ce serait une promesse non tenue. Mais grâces soient rendues à Dieu, car Il tient toujours Ses promesses. Il est triste que de nombreux rabbins juifs affirment que le Tanakh ne sait rien d’un Messie mourant en substitut pour nos péchés, et pourtant nous venons de lire un chapitre qui le rend clair. Ce n’est pas un hasard si le peuple juif, chaque année, saute ce chapitre dans ses lectures synagogales de la Haftarah. Les rabbins ont caché cette vérité au peuple.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Louons Dieu, cependant, car lorsque la plénitude du temps est venue, un dernier prophète de l’ère du Tanakh, Yohannan l’Immergeur (Jean le Baptiste), est venu comme le précurseur du Messie. Quand il a vu Yeshua pour la première fois, il a reconnu que Yeshua était celui dont parlait Ésaïe ici. Dans Jean 1:29, Jean le Baptiste a dit de Jésus : « Voici l’Agneau de Dieu, qui ôte le péché du monde ! » Yohannan avait à la fois la Pâque et l’ensemble du système sacrificiel à l’esprit. Et il est étonnant de voir à quel point Yeshua a parfaitement tout accompli. Il est né d’une vierge comme le prophète Ésaïe l’avait prédit (Ésaïe 7:14), ce qui a fait qu’Il n’était pas infecté par la nature pécheresse d’Adam. Il était donc l’humain parfait que Dieu exigeait. Et lorsque le temps de Sa crucifixion est venu, considérez ces faits :\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Dans (Shemot) l’Exode 12, sont exposées les règles de la Pâque. Le dixième jour du premier mois, Nissan, les Israélites devaient choisir un agneau qui serait sacrifié. Eh bien, le dixième jour de Nissan, en l’an 30 après J.-C., Jésus est entré à Jérusalem depuis Bethléem sur un âne. Le même jour, tous les agneaux élevés chaque année à Bethléem pour le sacrifice pascal entraient aussi tranquillement à Jérusalem.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Une fois l’agneau choisi, il reste parmi le peuple pendant quatre jours, étant inspecté pour s’assurer qu’il est sans défaut. Eh bien, pendant les quatre jours suivants, Jésus était à Jérusalem, étant testé par les dirigeants et trouvé absolument parfait, sans aucune faute. Cela se poursuit jusqu’au 14e jour de Nissan, qui est la Pâque.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003Cspan style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit;\">Enfin, ce fut le 14e jour de Nissan que Yeshua fut publiquement exécuté sur une croix, au même moment où les agneaux pascals étaient sacrifiés à Jérusalem.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cspan style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit;\">\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>En effet, Yeshua HaMashiach est l’Agneau de Dieu qui ôte les péchés du monde.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Yeshua est notre Pâque. Il est la Pâque. Il est celui vers lequel la Pâque est censée pointer. N’est-il pas étonnant que Yeshua, l’accomplissement de la Pâque, soit réellement mort le jour de la Pâque. N’est-il pas étonnant que tout ce qui arrive aux agneaux pascals (être choisis le 10e jour, être inspectés 4 jours, et être abattus le 14e jour) soit arrivé à Yeshua ?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Non seulement Il a accompli la Pâque et le système sacrificiel de manière thématique, mais Il a correspondu aux moindres détails des exigences du sacrifice. Et c’est ce que signifie pour Paul de dire que Jésus est mort selon les Écritures. Sans cela, le Tanakh se clôt sur des promesses brisées. Il donne de nombreuses coupes à moitié remplies d’espérance, et les laisse inachevées. Mais avec Yeshua, les coupes débordent ! En étant le sacrifice parfait pour nos péchés, il n’y a plus besoin du système sacrificiel—c’est pourquoi Dieu l’a aboli une génération plus tard. Il n’y a plus d’incertitude quant à savoir si, à Yom Kippour, nos noms seront scellés dans le livre de vie. Il n’y a plus de crainte que notre péché nous sépare de Dieu. Et la preuve en est trouvée dans ceci—non seulement Yeshua est mort comme notre Pâque le jour de la Pâque, mais Il est ensuite ressuscité comme les prémices de la Résurrection le jour même de la fête des Prémices. Il a répandu le Saint-Esprit promis (Ruach HaKodesh) sept semaines plus tard lors de la fête des Semaines. Et très bientôt, Il accomplira les fêtes restantes par Son second avènement.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Accomplissement d’Israël\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Le fil suivant a à voir avec l’existence du peuple d’Israël lui-même. Les Juifs tiennent à juste titre leur statut d’élus cher à leur cœur. Être le peuple choisi de Dieu est un privilège. Mais dans quel but les Juifs ont-ils été choisis ? Dans la Genèse (Bereshit) 12 et 15, Dieu a promis de bénir TOUTES les nations par la semence ou la descendance d’Abraham. Et ainsi il engendra Isaac, qui engendra Jacob, qui engendra les 12 fils qui devinrent les 12 tribus d’Israël. Israël fut appelé à être une nation sainte et un royaume de prêtres (Shemot\u002FExode 19:6). Le monde devait voir la gloire de Dieu à travers Israël. Eh bien, Israël a échoué. Par le péché constant, la rébellion, et pire encore l’idolâtrie, Israël n’a pas été à la hauteur de l’appel qu’il a reçu en tant que peuple choisi de Dieu. Mais c’était le but. La semence d’Abraham, Israël, était en réalité censée être une seule descendance dès le départ. Il est celui qui est la plénitude d’Israël. Il est celui qui est tout ce qu’Israël était censé être et a échoué à être.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Dans Isaïe (Yeshayahu), le prophète attire vraiment notre attention sur cette idée lorsqu’il commence à nous parler du Serviteur de l’Éternel dans quatre cantiques. En Isaïe 49:3, le Serviteur de l’Éternel est clairement appelé Israël. En lui, les nations viendront au Dieu d’Israël. Et pourtant, seulement deux versets plus loin, en Isaïe 49:5, le Serviteur n’est pas Israël, mais est appelé à sauver Israël. Isaïe écrit : « Et maintenant, dit l’Éternel, qui m’a formé dès le sein de ma mère pour être son serviteur, afin de ramener Jacob à lui, et qu’Israël soit rassemblé auprès de lui. » Attendez un instant. Israël est le Serviteur, mais ensuite Israël a besoin d’être sauvé par le Serviteur. Voici comment cela fonctionne : le Serviteur collectif de l’Éternel, Israël, a échoué. Ainsi, la mission a été accomplie par le Serviteur individuel de l’Éternel, qui, en tant qu’Israël idéal et véritable, ramènerait Israël à Dieu. Ensuite, cela passe au dernier cantique du Serviteur en Isaïe 53, où le serviteur est à nouveau un individu mourant pour les péchés d’Israël et des nations. En rassemblant tout cela, l’Ancien Testament nous montre qu’il existe un lien profond entre Israël la nation et le Messie en tant qu’Israël personnifié. Et le Messie accomplirait tout ce que l’Israël collectif n’a pas fait, accomplissant ainsi les promesses de Dieu concernant Israël.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Si tout ce que nous avions était le Tanakh, alors encore une fois, ce serait une autre promesse non tenue. Mais Dieu a envoyé le Messie, Yeshua. Dieu a achevé Sa révélation divine dans la B’rit Hadasha (Nouveau Testament). Et qu’est-ce que cela nous montre ? L’Évangile de Matthieu (Matityahu) est l’Évangile écrit spécifiquement pour un public juif, et Matthieu l’adapte de manière à nous montrer que Yeshua est bien l’accomplissement d’Israël lui-même. Dans l’ordre juif du Tanakh, le dernier livre est 2 Chroniques. Dans Matthieu, il commence par la même généalogie des rois que nous venons de terminer dans les Chroniques. Et à partir de là, Matthieu nous montre comment Yeshua est le véritable Israël. Israël la nation a été appelé hors d’Égypte. Jésus, bébé, a été emmené en Égypte, afin que Dieu puisse de même dire : « D’Égypte j’ai appelé mon Fils » (Osée\u002FHoshea 11:1). Après qu’Israël soit sorti d’Égypte, il a été baptisé en Moïse à travers la mer Rouge. La scène suivante après que Yeshua vienne d’Égypte est Son baptême par Yohannan l’Immergeur (Jean le Baptiste). Après qu’Israël passe par les eaux de la mer Rouge, il entre dans le désert pendant 40 ans, où il échoue face à trois tentations majeures. Après que Yeshua passe par les eaux du baptême, Il est conduit dans le désert pendant 40 jours, où Il triomphe de trois tentations. Après la conclusion des 40 ans, Moïse donne la Loi à Israël une seconde fois depuis une montagne. Après la conclusion des 40 jours de Yeshua, Matthieu Le place sur une montagne donnant le Sermon sur la montagne (une exposition de la Torah). Matthieu a fait tout son possible pour montrer que Yeshua est le Serviteur individuel qui réussit là où le Serviteur collectif a échoué. Ainsi, il est vrai que par Israël toutes les nations seront bénies, car le véritable Israël est Yeshua HaMashiach Lui-même. Et lorsque les gens des nations croient, ils sont greffés en Israël et héritent des promesses de Dieu.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Ainsi, en plus d’être l’accomplissement de la Pâque et du système sacrificiel, Yeshua est aussi l’accomplissement d’Israël lui-même, étant tout ce qu’Israël a échoué à être. Ce faisant, Il sauve à la fois Israël et les nations, et nous fait tous un seul peuple. Vraiment, les Juifs ancrés dans la foi en Yeshua sont remplis et complets comme ils étaient censés l’être, mais cela ne peut se faire que par Yeshua le Messie.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Accomplisseur des promesses du Tanakh\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Dieu a créé les cieux et la terre dans la perfection. Le péché d’Adam et Ève a maudit les cieux et la terre. Dieu a créé l’humanité dans la perfection, mais le péché d’Adam et Ève a maudit l’humanité. Le péché et la mort ont complètement vaincu l’homme et son environnement. Pourtant, Dieu a promis le salut par la semence de la femme (Bereshit\u002FGenèse 3:15). Pour que le salut soit salut, Dieu doit réparer ce qui a été brisé. Cela nous fait comprendre, rien qu’à partir de Genèse 1-3, que le salut nécessite de nouveaux cieux et une nouvelle terre. Le salut nécessite également une nouvelle humanité non souillée pour peupler cette nouvelle terre. Plus tard, les prophètes nous le diront clairement.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Plus tard, Dieu a appelé un peuple à Lui, Israël, pour être Sa nation sainte. Pourtant, ils ont échoué. Ils ont échoué si misérablement qu’ils ont été exilés du pays d’Israël, puis ramenés. Dieu a promis que cette nation serait Son peuple pour toujours, et pourtant ils ont continué à échouer. Dieu a aussi promis un roi juste, un descendant de David. Il s’avère que ce roi et la semence de la femme devaient être la même personne. Eh bien, les fils de David ont échoué misérablement. Finalement, ils ont perdu le trône, et il n’y a plus eu de roi en Israël depuis 587 av. J.-C. Pourtant, les prophètes insistent sur le fait que non seulement David aurait un Fils qui siégerait de façon permanente sur le trône, mais que le Fils serait divin (Yeshayahu\u002FIsaïe 9 ; Mikah\u002FMichée 5).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>À la lumière de l’échec constant d’Israël à garder l’Ancienne Alliance, Dieu a promis une Nouvelle Alliance, où Dieu changerait réellement le cœur de Son peuple. Ils seraient de nouvelles créatures. Cela laissait encore entrevoir le besoin d’une nouvelle humanité. Deux agents faciliteraient cette nouvelle humanité. Le Ruach HaKodesh (Saint-Esprit) serait répandu sur toute l’humanité et il y aurait une résurrection des morts, inversant à jamais la malédiction. Il n’y aurait plus de mort. Eh bien, s’il doit y avoir une nouvelle humanité composée de personnes immortelles, remplies du Saint-Esprit, alors ce monde maudit devra aussi être remplacé. Ainsi, Isaïe 65:17 promet de nouveaux cieux et une nouvelle terre.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Donc, essentiellement, le Tanakh nous laisse attendre un nouveau ciel, une nouvelle terre, une nouvelle humanité, une nouvelle alliance, un Israël parfait, le salut des nations, l’effusion du Ruach HaKodesh et l’arrivée d’un Messie immortel pour hériter du trône de David. Si tout ce que nous avons est le Tanakh, alors c’est un échec massif. Car dans ce cas, Dieu aurait fait toutes ces promesses de 1 400 à 400 av. J.-C., pour ensuite ne rien faire pendant les 2 500 années suivantes ! Cela n’a aucun sens. Dieu ne peut pas terminer ainsi. Et Il ne laisserait certainement pas cela aux mains de simples humains (les rabbins) pour réinventer et réinterpréter Ses promesses.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Pourtant, quand on ouvre les pages de la B’rit Hadasha (Nouveau Testament), on voit les promesses commencer à se concrétiser. La semence de la femme et le Messie sont Yeshua, l’Homme-Dieu qui est mort pour nos péchés afin que Dieu puisse faire de nous la nouvelle humanité. Il verse le Ruach HaKodesh sur nous comme un acompte, nous faisant ainsi une nouvelle humanité dès maintenant en partie, et l’apportera dans sa plénitude à la résurrection. Il a déjà commencé la résurrection en ressuscitant Lui-même comme les prémices. Au cours des 2 000 dernières années, Il a sauvé des gens des nations, si bien que maintenant le Dieu d’Israël est connu partout dans le monde. La Nouvelle Alliance est arrivée, où Dieu nous donne le cœur circoncis qu’Il a mentionné à Moïse dans le D’varim\u002FDeutéronome 30:6. Une fois que nous aurons rassemblé les élus de Dieu parmi toutes les nations, alors Il conclura toutes les autres promesses, et tout sera accompli. Clairement, le Tanakh nécessite un achèvement de la révélation divine, et cet achèvement se trouve uniquement dans la B’rit Hadasha (Nouveau Testament).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>Conclusion\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Alors que pouvons-nous dire ? Clairement, Yeshua est le Messie et est l’accomplissement de toutes les promesses de Dieu. Il est l’accomplissement de chaque modèle, ou type et ombre, que Dieu a fourni par Ses actions et Ses commandements dans l’histoire. Cela se voit le plus clairement dans le système sacrificiel, mais il y a bien d’autres exemples qui peuvent être offerts. Ce n’est pas une coïncidence si après le sacrifice de Yeshua, les sacrifices du Temple ont cessé en une génération juive. Et même au cours de cette génération, le fil écarlate du Yom Kippour n’est plus jamais devenu blanc (Rosh HaShanah 31b). C’est parce qu’Il a accompli tout le système des sacrifices. Et peut-être le plus poignant, tous les espoirs et les rêves d’Israël s’accomplissent en Yeshua parce qu’Il est Lui-même Israël au sens le plus vrai. Nous prions pour que voir ces vérités à travers les Écritures vous convainque de la nécessité de recevoir Yeshua comme Seigneur et Messie. Quand l’apôtre Paul écrivait sur le présent et l’avenir d’Israël, il disait dans Romains 10:9-10 : « Si tu confesses de ta bouche que Jésus est Seigneur et que tu crois dans ton cœur que Dieu l’a ressuscité des morts, tu seras sauvé. Car c’est en croyant du cœur qu’on parvient à la justice, et c’est en confessant de la bouche qu’on parvient au salut. » Cela était vrai il y a 2 000 ans. Cela est vrai maintenant. Quand Israël recevra son Messie, les promesses futures viendront (Romains 11:15). Nous prions pour que quiconque lit ceci et ne connaît pas le Seigneur vienne à Le connaître aujourd’hui.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>Par Stephen

3:21(베레시트)은 다음과 같이 말합니다. “여호와 하나님이 아담과 그의 아내를 위하여 가죽옷을 지어 입히시니라.” 그래서 그날 실제로 죽음이 있었고, 그것은 죄인에 대한 하나님의 용서가 희생을 요구한다는 그림을 보여주었습니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>그렇게 그 실이 이어졌습니다. 하나님께서 아담과 하와의 첫 두 자녀인 가인과 아벨에게 제물을 요구하셨을 때, 하나님은 아벨의 제사를 받으셨습니다. 그 이유 중 하나는 아마도 그것이 대속물이었기 때문일 것입니다. 아벨은 양 떼에서 제물을 드린 반면, 가인은 식물만을 드렸습니다. 그런 다음 우리가 더 내려가면, 하나님은 아브라함을 시험하시며 그의 하나뿐인 아들 이삭을 제물로 바치라고 말씀하십니다. 그들이 가는 길에 이삭이 제물로 바칠 어린 양이 어디 있느냐고 묻자, 아브라함은 창세기 22:8에서 이렇게 대답합니다. “내 아들아, 번제할 어린 양은 하나님이 친히 준비하시리라.” 하나님은 아브라함이 이삭을 제물로 바치는 것을 막으셨지만, 대신 숫양을 제물로 바치게 하셨습니다. 그러나 약속은 하나님이 어린 양을 제공하신다는 것이었습니다. 그래서 이삭의 후손들은 이스라엘 민족이 됩니다. 그들은 400년 동안 애굽인들에게 노예가 되었고, 하나님은 10가지 재앙으로 애굽을 멸망시키심으로 그들을 해방시키셨습니다. 이스라엘이 마침내 해방될 그날 밤, 하나님은 10번째 재앙인 장자의 죽음을 가져오셨습니다. 하나님은 모든 이스라엘 가정에게 흠 없는 어린 양을 취하여 제물로 바치고, 그 피를 집 문에 바르고, 그 어린 양과 쓴 나물과 무교병을 먹으라고 말씀하셨습니다. 하나님의 사망의 천사가 애굽을 지날 때, 어린 양의 피가 있는 집은 넘어갈 것입니다. 이것이 유월절의 시작이었습니다. 다시 한 번, 무죄한 대속물인 어린 양이 죄인들을 대신하여 죽어 하나님의 심판이 그들을 넘어갈 수 있게 했습니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>자, 이스라엘이 애굽에서 해방된 후, 하나님은 모세를 통해 이스라엘 백성에게 장막을 만들라고 말씀하셨고, 나중에는 성전을 지으셨습니다. 그곳에서 정교한 제사 제도가 마련될 것이었습니다. 이스라엘 사람이 죄를 지을 때마다, 그들은 이 피의 제사를 드려야 했습니다. 다시 한 번, 그것은 하나님께서 동산에서 첫 번째 대속물을 제공하신 것과, 언젠가 진정한 하나님의 어린 양이 궁극적인 희생이 될 것이라는 약속으로 돌아갑니다. 그래서 거의 1,400년 동안, 이스라엘은 이 제사를 드리고 유월절을 지켰습니다. 그래서 끊임없는 상기는 결코 잊혀지지 않았습니다. 우리의 죄는 너무 나빠서 죄의 삯은 사망입니다! 그리고 1,400년 동안, 제사는 우리의 형벌을 대신할 대속물의 필요성을 계속해서 가리켰습니다. 그러나 그들이 계속해서 제사를 드려야 했다는 사실은 동물의 피가 실제로 우리의 죄를 제거할 수 없다는 것을 증명했습니다. 대신, 그것은 하나님이 사람들을 어떻게 구원하실 것인지에 대한 그림을 그려줍니다. 고대 이스라엘 백성은 믿음으로 이 제사를 드렸고, 하나님께서 언젠가 진정한 속죄를 제공하실 것을 알았습니다. 그래서 전체 탄나크(바울이 예수님이 죽으셨다고 말한 성경)는 우리의 자리를 대신할 무죄한 대속물의 필요성에 대한 거대한 그림을 그려주었습니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>자, 하나님은 이스라엘의 역사와 그분이 제정하신 제도를 통해서만 그분의 계획을 보여주신 것이 아닙니다. 그분은 또한 선지자들에게 명확하게 말씀하셨습니다. 가장 주목할 만한 것은, 하나님께서 이 실을 선지자 이사야의 글에서 하나로 모으셨다는 것입니다. 완전한 사람(아담)이 저주를 가져왔습니다. 동물들은 그것을 되돌릴 수 없었습니다. 따라서 저주를 되돌리기 위해서는 또 다른 완전한 사람(메시아)이 필요했습니다. 하나님께서 한 사람을 보내어 그 궁극적인 희생이 되게 하실 것이라고 우리에게 말해주는 가장 분명한 예언은 이사야 53장(예샤야후)에

찔리셨습니다. 이사야는 그분이 우리의 죄악 때문에 상하셨다고 말합니다. 우리를 위한 평화는 그분을 위한 형벌을 요구했습니다. 우리는 모두 죄를 짓고 반역하는 양처럼 돌아섰지만, 그분은 우리 모두의 형벌을 치르신 분입니다. 이 예언이 하나님의 대속물 계획이 결코 황소와 염소가 아니라, 이 모든 것이 이 사람을 가리키는 것이었음을 분명히 하고 있다는 것을 아시겠습니까? 그것은 대낮처럼 분명합니다. 7절에서 그분은 다시 옛 제사들과 비교됩니다.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>그는 학대를 받아도&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>괴로워도&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>그 입을 열지

어린양이라는 용어가 등장합니다. 이것은 창세기까지 거슬러 올라가는 그 실타래입니다. 하나님께서 어린양을 예비하실 것이며, 이사야는 이 사람이 유월절 어린양처럼 도살장으로 끌려가는 것이라고 말합니다. 그런데 타나크의 마지막에 이르러서도 이 모든 것이 완성되거나 성취된다는 어떤 감각도 없었습니다. 제사 제도를 성취하는 이사야 53장의 그 사람은 오지 않았습니다. 그리고 예슈아 없는 유대교는 이에 대한 답이 없습니다. 그것은 실패한 약속이 될 것입니다. 그러나 하나님께 감사드립니다. 그분은 언제나 자신의 약속을 지키십니다. 많은 유대 랍비들이 타나크가 우리의 죄를 위한 대속물로서 죽는 메시아에 대해 아무것도 모른다고 주장하는 것은 슬픈 일이며, 우리는 방금 그 사실을 분명히 보여주는 한 장을 읽었습니다. 유대인들이 매년 회당에서 하프타라 낭독 시 이 장을 건너뛰는 것은 우연이 아닙니다. 랍비들은 이 진리를 백성들에게서 숨겨왔습니다.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>그러나 하나님을 찬양합니다. 때가 차매, 타나크 시대의 마지막 선지자인 요한난 침례자(세례 요한)가 메시아의 선구자로 왔습니다. 그가 처음으로 예슈아를 보았을 때, 그는 예슈아가 바로 이사야가 여기서 말한 그분임을 알아보았습니다. 요한복음 1장 29절에서 세례 요한은 예수에 대해 이렇게 말했습니다. “보라, 세상 죄를 지고 가는 하나님의 어린양이로다!” 요한난은 유월절과 전체 제사 제도를 염두에 두고 있었습니다. 그리고 예슈아께서 이 모든 것을 얼마나 완벽하게 성취하셨는지는 놀랍습니다. 그분은 선지자 이사야가 예언한 대로(이사야 7:14) 동정녀에게서 태어나셨으며, 이로 인해 아담의 죄성이 전염되지 않으셨습니다. 그래서 그분은 하나님이 요구하신 완전한 인간이셨습니다. 그리고 그분의 십자가 처형 때가 되었을 때, 다음 사실들을 생각해

일치시키셨습니다. 그리고 그것이 바울이 “예수께서 성경대로 죽으셨다”고 말하는 의미입니다. 이것이 없으면 타나크는 깨진 약속으로 끝납니다. 그것은 많은 잔에 희망을 반쯤 채워주고, 그것들을 채우지 않은 채로 남겨둡니다. 그러나 예슈아와 함께하면 잔들이 넘쳐납니다! 우리의 죄를 위한 완전한 희생이 되심으로, 더 이상 제사 제도가 필요 없게 되었습니다. 그것이 하나님이 한 세대 후에 그것을 폐하신 이유입니다. 욤 키푸르에 우리의 이름이 생명책에 인봉될지 아닐지 더 이상 궁금해할 필요가 없습니다. 우리의 죄가 우리를 하나님에게서 분리시킬까 봐 더 이상 두려워할 필요가 없습니다. 이에 대한 증거는 이것에서 발견됩니다. 예슈아께서 유월절에 우리의 유월절로 죽으셨을 뿐만 아니라, 초실절 날에 부활의 첫 열매로 부활하셨습니다. 그분은 이레(칠 주) 후에 오순절(칠칠절)에 약속하신 성령(루아흐 하코데쉬)을 부어주셨습니다. 그리고 머지않아, 그분은 재림으로 남은 절기들을 성취하실

이스라엘 백성의 존재 자체와 관련이 있습니다. 유대인들은 그들의 선택된 지위를 마음으로 소중히 여기는 것이 당연합니다. 하나님의 선택된 백성이 되는 것은 특권입니다. 그러나 유대인들은 어떤 목적으로 선택되었습니까? 창세기(베레쉬트) 12장과 15장에서 하나님은 아브라함의 씨(후손)를 통해 모든 민족을 복 주시겠다고 약속하셨습니다. 그리고 그는 이삭을 낳았고, 이삭은 야곱을 낳았으며, 야곱은 12지파가 된 12아들을 낳았습니다. 이스라엘은 거룩한 나라와 제사장 나라가 되도록 부르심을 받았습니다(셰모트\u002F출애굽기 19:6). 세상은 이스라엘을 통해 하나님의 영광을 보아야 했습니다. 그런데 이스라엘은 실패했습니다. 끊임없는 죄와 반역, 그리고 무엇보다 우상 숭배를 통해 이스라엘은 하나님의 선택된 백성으로서 받은 부르심에 부응하지 못했습니다. 그러나 그것이 요점이었습니다. 아브라함의 씨, 이스라엘은 사실 처음부터 단일한 후손이 되기로 되어 있었습니다. 그분은 이스라엘의 충만하신 분이십니다. 그분은 이스라엘이 되어야 했으나 실패한 모든 것이 되신 분이십니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>이사야(예샤야후)에서 선지자는 주의 종에 관한 네 노래를 통해 이 개념을 우리 마음에 분명히 드러내기 시작합니다. 이사야 49:3에서 주의 종은 분명히 이스라엘이라고 불립니다. 그 안에서 열방이 이스라엘의 하나님께 나아오게 될 것입니다. 그런데 바로 두 절 뒤인 이사야 49:5에서 종은 이스라엘이 아니라, 이스라엘을 구원하도록 부르심을 받습니다. 이사야는 이렇게 기록합니다. “이제 여호와께서 말씀하시되, 나를 모태에서부터 그의 종으로 지으사 야곱을 그에게로 돌아오게 하시며 이스라엘이 그에게로 모이게 하시리니.” 잠깐만요. 이스라엘이 종인데, 이스라엘은 종에 의해 구원을 받아야 합니다. 여기서의 원리는 이렇습니다. 단체적 주의 종인 이스라엘은 실패했습니다. 그래서 그 사명은 개인적 주의 종에 의해 완수되었는데, 그는 이상적이고 참된 이스라엘로서 이스라엘을 하나님께로 돌이키게 하셨습니다. 그리고 이사야 53장의 마지막 종의 노래로 넘어가면, 종은 다시 한 개인으로서 이스라엘과 열방의 죄를 위해 죽는 모습을 보입니다. 이 모든 것을 종합하면, 구약은 이스라엘이라는 국가와 메시아가 이스라엘을 인격화한 존재 사이에 깊은 연관성이 있음을 보여줍니다. 그리고 메시아는 단체적 이스라엘이 이루지 못한 모든 것을 성취하시며, 이스라엘에 관한 하나님의 약속을 이루실 것입니다.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>만약 우리가 타나크만 가지고 있다면, 이것 역시 또 하나의 실패한 약속이 될 것입니다. 그러나 하나님은 메시아이신 예슈아를 보내셨습니다. 하나님은 브릿 하다샤(신약)에서 그의 신적 계시를 완성하셨습니다. 그리고 그것은 우리에게 무엇을 보여줍니까? 마태복음(마티티야후)은 유대인을 위해 특별히 기록된 복음서로서, 마태는 예슈아가 참으로 이스라엘 자체의 성취임을 보여주도록 내용을 구성했습니다. 타나크의 유대식 배열에서 마지막 책은 역대하입니다. 마태는 그 역대하에서 우리가 방금 읽은 왕들의 족보와 동일한 족보로 복음서를 시작합니다. 그리고 거기서부터 마태는 예슈아가 참된 이스라엘이심을 보여줍니다. 이스라엘이라는 국가는 애굽에서 불러내심을 받았습니다. 예수님은 아기 때 애굽으로 피신하셨고, 그리하여 하나님께서도 “애굽에서 내 아들을 불러내었다”(호세아 11:1)고 말씀하실 수 있게 하셨습니다. 이스라엘이 애굽에서 나온 후, 홍해를 통해 모세 안에서 세례를 받았습니다. 예슈아께서 애굽에서 돌아오신 후 다음 장면은 요한 침례자(요한난 하메타벨)에 의해 세례를 받으시는 것입니다. 이스라엘이 홍해의 물을 통과한 후, 그들은 40년 동안 광야에 들어가 세 가지 큰 시험에서 실패했습니다. 예슈아께서 세례의 물을 통과하신 후, 40일 동안 광야로 이끌리시어 세 가지 시험을 이기셨습니다. 40년이 끝난 후, 모세는 산에서 이스라엘에게 율법을 두 번째로 주었습니다. 예슈아의 40일이 끝난 후, 마태는 그분이 산 위에서 산상수훈(토라에 대한 해설)을 전하시는 장면을 기록합니다. 마태는 예슈아가 단체적 종이 실패한 곳에서 성공한 개인적 종임을 보여주기 위해 특별히 애쓰셨습니다. 따라서 열방이 이스라엘을 통해 복을 받는다는 것은 사실이며, 그 이유는 참된 이스라엘이신 예슈아 하마시아흐 그분 자신이시기 때문입니다. 그리고 열방의 백성들이 믿을 때, 그들은 이스라엘에 접붙여져 하나님의 약속을 상속받게 됩니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>그러므로 예슈아께서 유월절과 제사 제도의 성취이실 뿐만 아니라, 이스라엘 자체의 성취이시며, 이스라엘이 되지 못했던 모든 것이 되신 것입니다. 그리고 그렇게 하심으로 그분은 이스라엘과 열방을 모두 구원하시고, 우리 모두를 한 백성으로 만드십니다. 진실로, 예슈아를 믿음으로 굳게 붙드는 유대인들은 그들이 본래 되어야 했던 대로 충만하고 완전하게 됩니다. 그러나 이것은 오직 메시아이신 예슈아를 통해서만 가능합니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>타나크 약속의

환경을 완전히 정복했습니다. 그러나 하나님은 여자의 씨를 통해 구원을 약속하셨습니다(베레시트\u002F창세기 3:15). 구원이 구원이 되려면, 하나님은 깨어진 것을 고치셔야 합니다. 창세기 1-3장만으로도 구원에는 새 하늘과 새 땅이 필요하다는 것을 알 수 있습니다. 구원에는 또한 그 새 땅을 채울 새로운, 더럽혀지지 않은 인류가 필요합니다. 후에 선지자들은 이에 대해 자세히 말해줄 것입니다.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>후에 하나님은 이스라엘이라는 백성을 자신의 거룩한 나라로 부르셨습니다. 그러나 그들은 실패했습니다. 그들은 너무나 비참하게 실패하여 이스라엘 땅에서 추방되었다가 다시 돌아왔습니다. 하나님은 이 나라가 영원히 그의 백성이 될 것이라고 약속하셨으나, 그들은 계속해서 실패했습니다. 하나님은 또한 다윗의 후손인 의로운 왕을 약속하셨습니다. 그런데 이 왕과 여자의 씨가 같은 인물이라는 것이 밝혀졌습니다. 다윗의 아들들은 비참하게 실패했습니다. 결국 그들은 왕위를 잃었고, 주전 587년 이후로 이스라엘에는 왕이 없었습니다. 그러나 선지자들은 다윗에게 영원히 왕좌에 앉을 아들이 있을 뿐만 아니라, 그 아들이 신성하실 것이라고 주장합니다(예샤야후\u002F이사야 9; 미카\u002F미가 5).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>옛 언약을 지키지 못한 이스라엘의 끊임없는 실패에 비추어, 하나님은 새 언약을 약속하셨는데, 거기서 하나님은 실제로 그의 백성의 마음을 바꾸실 것입니다. 그들은 새로운 피조물이 될 것입니다. 이는 다시금 새로운 인류의 필요성을 암시합니다. 이 새로운 인류를 이루는 데에는 두 가지 주체가 관여할 것입니다. 루아흐 하코데시(성령)께서 모든 인류에게 부어지실 것이며, 죽은 자의 부활이 있어 영원히 저주를 뒤집을 것입니다. 더 이상 사망이 없을 것입니다. 불멸하며 성령으로 충만한 사람들로 이루어진 새 인류가 있게 된다면, 이 저주받은 세상도 교체되어야 합니다. 따라서 이사야 65:17은 새 하늘과 새 땅을 약속합니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>거의 대부분의 타나크는 우리에게 새 하늘, 새 땅, 새 인류, 새 언약, 온전한 이스라엘, 열방의 구원, 루아흐 하코데시의 부어짐, 그리고 다윗의 보좌를 상속할 불멸의 메시아의 도래를 기다리게 합니다. 만약 우리가 가진 것이 타나크뿐이라면, 그것은 거대한 실패입니다. 왜냐하면 그 경우 하나님께서는 기원전 1,400~400년 사이에 이 모든 약속을 하셨다가, 그 후 2,500년 동안 아무것도 하지 않으셨을 것이기 때문입니다! 그것은 말이 되지 않습니다. 하나님께서는 그렇게 끝내실 수 없습니다. 그리고 그분은 분명히 단순한 인간(랍비들)의 손에 맡겨 그분의 약속을 재창조하고 재해석하게 하시지 않을 것입니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>그러나 브리트 하다샤(신약)의 페이지를 열면, 약속들이 하나씩 이루어지기 시작하는 것을 보게 됩니다. 여자의 후손과 메시아는 우리의 죄를 위해 죽으신 하나님-사람 예슈아이시며, 하나님께서 우리를 새 인류로 만드실 수 있게 하셨습니다. 그분은 우리에게 루아흐 하코데시를 보증금으로 부어주셔서, 지금 부분적으로 우리를 새 인류로 만드시고, 부활 때에 완전하게 이루실 것입니다. 그분은 이미 자신을 부활의 첫 열매로 부활시키심으로 부활을 시작하셨습니다. 지난 2,000년 동안 그분은 열방에서 사람들을 구원해 오셨고, 이제 이스라엘의 하나님은 전 세계에 알려지게 되었습니다. 새 언약이 도래했으며, 하나님께서는 모세에게 신명기 30:6에서 말씀하신 할례 받은 마음을 우리에게 주십니다. 하나님께서 모든 열방에서 택하신 자들을 모으신 후에, 그분은 다른 모든 약속을 마무리하시고, 모든 것이 성취될 것입니다. 분명히 타나크는 신적 계시의 완성을 필요로 하며, 그 완성은 오직 브리트 하다샤(신약)에서만 발견됩니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>결론\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>그렇다면 우리는 무엇이라고 말할 수 있습니까? 분명히 예슈아는 메시아이시며, 하나님의 모든 약속의 성취이십니다. 그분은 하나님께서 역사 속에서 행하신 일과 명령을 통해 주신 모든 패턴, 즉 모형과 그림자의 성취이십니다. 이는 희생 제사 제도에서 가장 분명하게 볼 수 있지만, 더 많은 예를 들 수 있습니다. 예슈아의 희생 이후, 성전 제사가 한 유대 세대 만에 중단된 것은 우연이 아닙니다. 그리고 그 세대 동안에도, 속죄일에 걸린 붉은 실이 다시는 하얗게 변하지 않았습니다(로쉬 하샤나 31b). 이는 그분이 희생 제사 전체를 성취하셨기 때문입니다. 그리고 아마도 가장 감동적인 것은, 이스라엘의 모든 소망과 꿈이 예슈아 안에서 성취된다는 것입니다. 왜냐하면 그분이야말로 진정한 의미에서 이스라엘이시기 때문입니다. 우리는 이 진리들이 성경 전체에 걸쳐 있다는 것을 보고, 여러분이 예슈아를 주님과 메시아로 영접해야 할 필요성을 확신하기를 기도합니다. 사도 바울이 이스라엘의 현재와 미래에 대해 쓸 때, 로마서 10:9-10에서 이렇게 말했습니다. “네가 만일 네 입으로 예수를 주로 시인하며 또 하나님께서 그를 죽은 자 가운데서 살리신 것을 네 마음에 믿으면 구원을 받으리라. 사람이 마음으로 믿어 의에 이르고 입으로 시인하여 구원에 이르느니라.” 이것은 2,000년 전에도 진실이었습니다. 지금도 진실입니다. 이스라엘이 그녀의 메시아를 영접할 때, 미래의 약속들이 이루어질 것입니다(로마서 11:15). 이 글을 읽는 주님을 모르는 모든 사람이 오늘 그분을 알게 되기를 기도합니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>스티븐 파인스타인 지음\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Ca

of all, let’s be clear: this is a complex question. &nbsp;The answer depends on what a person very specifically means when asking the question. &nbsp;In some circumstances, the answer is “yes,” and in other circumstances, the answer is “no.” \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So what are the circumstances where the question can be answered with “yes?” The first, deals with the type of God that both Christians and Muslims worship. Christianity and Islam are monotheistic religions, teaching that there is only one God. &nbsp;While monotheists may have different ideas about God, their concept of God being one is still the same. Therefore, Christians and Muslims worship the same type of God. Second, Christians and Muslims intend to worship the same God. Since both religions are monotheist, there is only one God to worship. In addition, both Christians and Muslims intend to worship, and believe that they do worship the God of Abraham. Third, the Quran teaches that Jews, Christians, and Muslims worship the same God. &nbsp;The Quran states in reference to those given the Book (Jews and Christians), “...our God and your God is One, and unto Him we surrender...” (29:46). \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So what are the circumstances where the question can be answered with “no?” This is the most important part of the question because it deals with the attributes (or characteristics) of God as defined in the Bible and the Quran. Just because two monotheistic religions teach about the same type of God does not mean they are talking about the same God. For example, if a husband talks about his wife by name but gets many of her attributes wrong (tall when she's short, blond when she's brunet, white when she's hispanic), then he is really talking about a different woman. &nbsp;His description simply does not match the actual person who is his wife. Now the list of differences between the God of the Bible and the Quran is lengthy, but here are a few examples. In the Bible, God loves all people, including unbelievers: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). In the Quran, Allah does not love unbelievers: “...He does not love the unbelievers” (30:45). In the Bible, Jesus forgives sins: “If we confess our sins, He [Jesus] is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). &nbsp;This verses associates Jesus with God because both Christians and Muslims understand that only God can forgive sins. In the Quran, Allah does not forgive those who associate Jesus with him: “Surely Allah does not forgive that anything should be associated with Him,...” (4:48). In the Bible, Jesus is the Son of God: “...This is My beloved Son, listen to Him!” (Mark 9:7). In the Quran, Jesus is not the Son of God: “... Allah, Who has not taken a son...” (17:111). These contradictions clearly indicate that the God of Christianity and the God of Islam are not the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Heaven\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One thing Christianity and Islam have in common is the exclusivity of heaven.

El cristianismo y el islam son religiones monoteístas, que enseñan que solo hay un Dios. &nbsp;Aunque los monoteístas pueden tener ideas diferentes sobre Dios, su concepto de que Dios es uno sigue siendo el mismo. Por lo tanto, los cristianos y los musulmanes adoran al mismo tipo de Dios. En segundo lugar, los cristianos y los musulmanes tienen la intención de adorar al mismo Dios. Dado que ambas religiones son monoteístas, solo hay un Dios al que adorar. Además, tanto los cristianos como los musulmanes tienen la intención de adorar, y creen que adoran, al Dios de Abraham. En tercer lugar, el Corán enseña que judíos, cristianos y musulmanes adoran al mismo Dios. &nbsp;El Corán afirma en referencia a aquellos a quienes se les dio el Libro (judíos y cristianos), “...nuestro Dios y vuestro Dios es Uno, y a Él nos sometemos...” (29:46). \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Entonces, ¿cuáles son las circunstancias en las que la pregunta puede responderse con “no?” Esta es la parte más importante de la pregunta porque trata de los atributos (o características) de Dios tal como se definen en la Biblia y el Corán. El hecho de que dos religiones monoteístas enseñen sobre el mismo tipo de Dios no significa que estén hablando del mismo Dios. Por ejemplo, si un marido habla de su esposa por su nombre pero se equivoca en muchos de sus atributos (alta cuando es baja, rubia cuando es morena, blanca cuando es hispana), entonces en realidad está hablando de una mujer diferente. &nbsp;Su descripción simplemente no coincide con la persona real que es su esposa. Ahora bien, la lista de diferencias entre el Dios de la Biblia y el Corán es extensa, pero aquí hay algunos ejemplos. En la Biblia, Dios ama a todas las personas, incluidos los incrédulos: “Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree no se pierda, sino que tenga vida eterna” (Juan 3:16). En el Corán, Alá no ama a los incrédulos: “...Él no ama a los incrédulos” (30:45). En la Biblia, Jesús perdona los pecados: “Si confesamos nuestros pecados, Él [Jesús] es fiel y justo para perdonarnos nuestros pecados y limpiarnos de toda maldad” (1 Juan 1:9). &nbsp;Este versículo asocia a Jesús con Dios porque tanto los cristianos como los musulmanes entienden que solo Dios puede perdonar los pecados. En el Corán, Alá no perdona a quienes asocian a Jesús con él: “Ciertamente Alá no perdona que se le asocie algo con Él,...” (4:48). En la Biblia, Jesús es el Hijo de Dios: “...Este es mi Hijo amado, escuchadle!” (Marcos 9:7). En el Corán, Jesús no es el Hijo de Dios: “... Alá, Quien no ha tomado un hijo...” (17:111).

C’est la partie la plus importante de la question, car elle concerne les attributs (ou caractéristiques) de Dieu tels que définis dans la Bible et le Coran. Le fait que deux religions monothéistes parlent du même type de Dieu ne signifie pas qu’elles parlent du même Dieu. Par exemple, si un mari parle de sa femme en la nommant, mais se trompe sur beaucoup de ses attributs (grande alors qu’elle est petite, blonde alors qu’elle est brune, blanche alors qu’elle est hispanique), alors il parle en réalité d’une femme différente. Sa description ne correspond tout simplement pas à la personne réelle qui est sa femme. La liste des différences entre le Dieu de la Bible et celui du Coran est longue, mais voici quelques exemples. Dans la Bible, Dieu aime tous les gens, y compris les incroyants : « Car Dieu a tant aimé le monde qu’il a donné son Fils unique, afin que quiconque croit en lui ne périsse point, mais qu’il ait la vie éternelle » (Jean 3:16). Dans le Coran, Allah n’aime pas les incroyants : « … Il n’aime pas les infidèles » (30:45). Dans la Bible, Jésus pardonne les péchés : « Si nous confessons nos péchés, il [Jésus] est fidèle et juste pour nous les pardonner et nous purifier de toute iniquité » (1 Jean 1:9). Ce verset associe Jésus à Dieu, car les chrétiens et les musulmans comprennent tous deux que seul Dieu peut pardonner les péchés. Dans le Coran, Allah ne pardonne pas à ceux qui associent Jésus à lui : « Certes, Allah ne pardonne pas qu’on lui associe quelque chose,… » (4:48). Dans la Bible, Jésus est le Fils de Dieu : « … Celui-ci est mon Fils bien-aimé, écoutez-le ! » (Marc 9:7). Dans le Coran, Jésus n’est pas le Fils de Dieu : « … Allah, qui ne s’est pas donné de fils… » (17:111).

첫째, 기독교와 이슬람이 예배하는 하나님의 유형에 관한 것이다. 기독교와 이슬람은 유일신교로서, 오직 한 분의 하나님만이 계심을 가르친다. &nbsp;유일신교 신자들이 하나님에 대해 서로 다른 생각을 가질 수는 있지만, 하나님은 한 분이라는 개념은 여전히 동일하다. 따라서 기독교인과 무슬림은 같은 유형의 하나님을 예배한다. 둘째, 기독교인과 무슬림은 같은 하나님을 예배하려고 의도한다. 두 종교 모두 유일신교이므로, 예배할 하나님은 오직 한 분뿐이다. 또한 기독교인과 무슬림 모두 아브라함의 하나님을 예배하려고 의도하며, 실제로 그렇게 예배한다고 믿는다. 셋째, 꾸란은 유대인, 기독교인, 무슬림이 같은 하나님을 예배한다고 가르친다. &nbsp;꾸란은 성서(유대교와 기독교)를 받은 자들에 대해 “...우리와 너희의 하나님은 한 분이시며, 우리는 그분께 순종한다...”(29:46)라고 말한다. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>그렇다면 “아니오”라고 답할 수 있는 상황은 무엇인가?

Islam teaches that our deeds in life are recorded—both the good and the bad—and on Qiyamah or Judgment Day, our good and bad deeds will be weighed against one another. If the good deeds outweigh the bad then maybe we will be permitted into heaven, if Allah wills.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Yes, that’s right Mike.&nbsp; When I was a Muslim, this anxiety about my spiritual future often left me with feeling that I was never good enough for God. Even with all of my attempts to accumulate good works, I still felt that I did not measure up His standards. [to the screen] Have you ever felt that nothing would be good enough for a perfect God? I know that many of my Muslim friends shared these feelings. Somehow we knew that even if we performed all of our religious duties: prayer, alms, fasting, the hajj that this was somehow not enough to endure His judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: I know what you mean Amani. I used to feel that I could never measure up and never have a relationship with God. Perhaps I could understand God through the Qur'an and know about Him but I could never reach him. He was just too far off.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Yes, Joy and these feelings were particularly challenging for me as a Muslim woman. After all, if the prophet said that there were far more women in hell than men, then my situation looked pretty bleak.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: That’s why today Amani and I want to talk about our spiritual journey getting to know Jesus Christ and learning what the Bible really says about Him. We want to share with you the story of God’s good news.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy:&nbsp; But Mike, how can we get any kind of news from the Bible? I was always taught that the Bible was corrupted and that Christians have three gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Of course you were told that. All Muslims are told that. But, at the time, did you ever stop to ask yourself where it was corrupted and by whom?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: You know what? That’s a good point. I didn't ask that question because I was taught not to question my teachers.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Exactly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: But it is a great question, so is there an answer?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Joy, we need to start by reviewing some background facts. Do you know how many manuscripts of the New Testament (“The Injil”) scholars have?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: Not off the top of my head, no.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Well, there are over 5,600 handwritten manuscript copies of the New Testament written in the original language of Greek. In addition to these Greek copies, there are more than 19,000 hand written copies of the Greek New Testament in the languages of Aramaic, Syriac, Latin and Coptic. This means that we have 24,000 copies of the New Testament, which come from all over the Middle East and from different people groups. This means that there was no one person controlling all those thousands of manuscripts. Muslims teach that the Bible has been changed but it seems that they have not considered the problem with this idea: to deliberately introduce a change, you would have to control scribes over a vast geographical area and do it in multiple languages simultaneously. This is simply not possible.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now, just having 25,000 copies does not mean that you know what the original copy said but it does allow you to compare all the manuscripts and make sure that the message is consistent and correctly conveyed in modern copies of the Bible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: But I don’t have access to these manuscripts and I don’t know any of these languages anyway. What assurance can you give me that what you are saying is correct?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: What if you could look at a 1700 year old Bible manuscript and compare the message to the Bible on the shelf at the bookstore?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: So, how can I do that?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: There is a complete Bible from 300 years before Mohammad’s birth can be viewed online. This manuscript is called Codex Sinaiticus (codexsinaiticus.org) and every page is photographed, every letter transcribed and every sentence translated. Anyone can read the translation and confirm that the content of this 1700-year-old Bible is the same as the Bible you can buy off the shelf in any bookstore. Pick any passage you like. Read the translation yourself and then compare it to any Bible online. Take the Gospel of John verses 1 and 2. Go and look for yourself. You will see that the message is unaltered.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: But are there any differences between the 25,000 copies of the New Testament?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Sure, of course there are differences, but as Biblical Scholar Norman Geisler writes, the internal consistency between the copies of the Bible is more than 99.5%. When hundreds of people hand copy an entire book 25,000 times, some transcription errors are expected but the changes don't alter the meaning of the book and message of the book. Anyone can go and verify this for themselves.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: But I was always told that the Qur'an does not even have these little alterations. I was told that every single copy of the Qur’an in the world was 100% identical. I was taught that God’s book should be perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Did you ever investigate that claim that all copies of the Qur’an are identical?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: No.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Well, neither did I. I just believed what I was told. The problem is, I believed a lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As a starting point, I want to direct you to watch a debate between two scholars—one Muslim and one Christian. The Muslim scholar is Shabir Ally from the University of Toronto in Canada and the second is Jay Smith who is a prominent Christian debator who lives in England.&nbsp; If you go take the time to watch the video, you will see that Jay makes specific reference to many changes known to have occurred in copies of the Qur’an known as Topkapi Manuscript (in Turkey), the Samarkand Kufic (in Uzbekistan), Codex Parisino-petropolitanus (in Paris) and the Ma’il Manuscipt (in Britain).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But let’s focus on one of the sets of manuscripts that Jay discusses: the Sana’a manuscripts. In 1972 a group of Qur’anic manuscripts found in at the Great Mosque of Sana’a in Yemen. These manuscripts are among the oldest manuscripts in existence, dating from before 671 AD and they are what are known as “palimpsests”. This is just a big word for a manuscript that has been recycled by washing off the old text and writing on a new one. Writing materials were expensive, you see.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the case of the Sana’a manuscripts, it can be seen very clearly that the older text of the Qur'an, which was overwritten but still visible, was different from the traditional Uthmanic text. The very existence of the numerous word variations means the not all Qur'ans are totally identical—a fact widely acknowledged by academics and professors of Islamic Studies. But these information has been withheld from lay people, likely because it is so opposite to what Most Muslims have been taught.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: But why would we think all copies of the Qur’an should be identical? The Hadith tells use that Uthman collected the scraps of the Qur'an written on small pieces of parchment, papyrus, stones and camel bones. There is even a tradition from Aisha that a goat ate one verse and it was lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Another problem is that the early copies of the Qur'an did not have diacritical markings meaning that single words can have multiple Arabic meanings as any Arabic speaker knows. I used to believe that there was no controversy about the content of the Qur'an. However, even a brief investigation shows us that the manuscripts of the Qur'an are not perfectly copied. Anyone who takes the time to investigate this matter further will find that what we have said here is true. If you want to see more videos that explain this, follow the links we have provided below.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So, you see, Joy, the original documents of the Qur’an are no different from the Bible.&nbsp; However, the difference is that we still have tens of thousands of ancient hand-written copies of Bible allowing the comparison of texts and tracking and correcting of minor copying errors. This actually allows us to be confident that we know what the original said. Obviously, this kind of scholarship is not possible with the Qur’an since its earliest copies were deliberately destroyed and we don’t have them anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: OK – so, suppose I accept these arguments. I would still have a big problem. You see, I was always taught that Christians had three gods – they called it a “Trinity” - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This seemed very strange to me. Christians say that they worship one God but then they talk about God as if He is three.&nbsp; Are Christians worshiping three gods?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: It's a great question Joy and it's easy to have that misconception from reading the Qur'an.&nbsp; But when I would ask my imam hard questions like this he would say, “You shouldn't think so much. You're only a woman”. But the God of the Bible had female prophets so, I am sure that it is good for both women and men to ask all the questions they want.&nbsp; The Biblical teaching on the Trinity is not and has never been that there are three gods with equal power. The term “Trinity” is just a description of what we can read in the Bible about the One True God.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: But anyone can see why this is confusing. How can three be one?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Joy, you are right. It does not appear to make sense, but it is definitely what the Bible teaches. The Bible says “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” (Deut 6:4-5). Christians believe that God is One and His Oneness is repeatedly affirmed throughout the Bible (Rom 3:20, 1 Cor 8:6, Eph 4:6, 1 Tim 2:5, James 2:19).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>From a Muslim’s perspective, one source of confusion is the term “Spirit of God” or “Holy Spirit”.&nbsp; In Arabic when we say الروح القدس , many Muslims think this refers to the angel Gabriel. But, Christians believe that the Spirit of God is literally the Spirit of God. Christians do not believe that the Spirit of God is any less God than God Himself. In fact Jesus says, “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24). It is the Spirit of God that provided the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures to the prophets of God.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: So you've mentioned God the Father, and the Holy Spirit – what about the Son?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: OK – but I need to back up for a second and explain how the Bible is laid out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Old Testament makes up the first two thirds of the Bible is made up of Taurat, the Zabur and other writings of God's prophets and historians who lived before Jesus.&nbsp; It was written during a period of over three thousand years and weaves in a long and detailed prophetic picture of the Messiah, Jesus, who will deliver Israel and all of mankind from their sin. Right from the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, there is a promise that a descendant of Eve will one day stamp on the head of the Serpent, Satan. For example 700 years before Jesus was born, the prophet, Isaiah wrote: “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel” (Isa 7:9). It’s easy to see this must be talking about Jesus who was born of the virgin Mary. But, Joy, do you know what the name Immanuel means?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: No. What does it mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: It means “God with us”… So, when the virgin bears a son, Isaiah is saying that this son will be “God with us”. You can see the problem. This scripture indicates that Jesus will be called both “a son” who is at the same time “God with us”. The prophecies indicate that Messiah, will be God Himself and Jesus says many things to identify Himself as God. For example he says, “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.” (John 14:9) and also “I and the Father are one.” (John 10:30). Jesus even applies God’s name “I AM” to himself in John 8:58.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Amani, now I’m the one who wants to back us up for a sec. Our friends need to understand something: In order to have a complete understanding of what the Bible means, we must read it differently than we have been taught to read the Qur'an. Unlike the Qur’an, no one verse of the Bible stands by itself. It’s the whole Bible together that builds a complete picture of who God is. All the verses of the Bible have to be true all at the same time. There is no abrogation. So, you're stuck with a problem. The Bible says that the Father is God. And it says that the Holy Spirit is God and it says that Jesus is God but it also says that God is One. For the whole Bible to be true all at the same time, the One God must have three Persons.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: But God having a son? This is very strange to the ears of a Muslim—especially since the Qur’an says over and over that God does not have a son. Does it mean that God has a wife too?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Well if you are thinking in human terms, you might assume something terrible like that. Some Muslims mistakenly claim that Christians believe this, but it is not true. Christians believe that God has always, for eternity past, had a relationship with Jesus Christ that is like a father-son relationship. But this does not imply that there is nothing distasteful about how Mary became pregnant. The Bible simply teaches that God placed the child Jesus Christ in Mary's womb miraculously without the intervention of any human being.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy:&nbsp; There’s something else I found confusing. I’ve heard Christians say “Jesus died for your sins”. Why should Jesus’ death be connected to God’s forgiveness? If God wanted to forgive, why wouldn’t he just forgive? After all, He says “Be” and it is. Why would Jesus’s death be required for my forgiveness?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Joy, this gets kind of gets back to one of our earlier questions: “How can I be sure that my sins will be forgiven on the Day of Judgment?” The Qur'an is very clear. It says repeatedly “No man can bear the burdens of another man”. Every man and woman is responsible for his or her own sin and must bear the punishment, or perhaps, balance it out with good deeds. But this is not what the Bible teaches about sin. When Adam and Eve sinned, the Bible teaches that they realized that they were naked, both in a physical sense and in a spiritual sense. The scripture explains that because of sin, they were doomed to physical death and to permanent separation from God in hell.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Adam and Eve felt ashamed of what they had done and they were sorry so God clothed them in the skin of an animal (Gen 3:21) to cover their shame. To accomplish this, God had to kill an animal. Later on God explains that in order for sin to be forgiven (Heb 9:22), a sacrifice must occur: something must die. This is why animal sacrifice for sin was required in the law that Moses brought down from God.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But it is important to understand that these animal sacrifices were just a foreshadowing of God's true plan for man's forgiveness and restoration to friendship with Him. You see, John the Baptist, Yehyah, called Jesus, “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world”. What he was saying was the Jesus was going to bear the burdens of not just one other man, but all men. Because Jesus lived a life that was sinless, he could act as a sacrifice, a Lamb if you like, sufficient to cover the sins of all men who ever lived, if they were willing to accept this offer and to follow Him.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So, in fact, it is actually true that no ordinary man can bear the burdens of another man. It takes an extra-ordinary man, a perfect, a Divine Man to be able to bear the burdens of another man. This is why Jesus came to Earth, to die on our behalf so that God could forgive our sins.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: What about the good deeds? Are they worthless then?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Well, they do not help us achieve salvation. God is completely holy says that even our best efforts are like “filthy rags” before him (Isaiah 64:6).&nbsp; However, good deeds are an offering of gratitude that we give to God because of the forgiveness he guarantees us through the death of Jesus on our behalf.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: But the Quran teaches that Jesus did not die – but that it just looked that way.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: But that’s not what he Bible teaches at all Joy. The Bible says God chose to come to Earth in human form, in the person of Jesus Christ. And it teaches that he came for a very specific mission: to die for sinners on the cross—to be crucified. Ancient historians who were not Christians and did not even like Christianity write about Jesus’ crucifixion as a matter of simple fact.&nbsp; Josephus, a Jewish historian writing in the first century wrote in 93 AD in his Antiquities of the Jews, “Pilate condemned [Jesus] to be crucified and to die.”&nbsp; Not only that but the many accounts from early Christians, the people who were Jesus’ friends and contemporaries, all indicate that Jesus died. The four separate historical accounts of the Gospel all clearly state this as a fact. Why is so much credence given to one man, Mohammad, who lived 600 years after Jesus when he claims that Jesus did not die? Does it make sense to believe the eyewitnesses of an event or believe someone who was born six centuries later? Maybe there something very important about the crucifixion that someone was trying to undo.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike:&nbsp; I think there is, Amani. You see, Satan knows that the power of Jesus’ message is in the understanding that we cannot save ourselves from our own sin—and that our sin must be put onto Jesus Christ. If men and women can be tricked into believing that the crucifixion did not occur, then they will remain hopelessly trying to work their way to heaven. They won’t know that they can receive their forgiveness because Jesus paid the price for them already.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: But why would Jesus do this for us?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Jesus was not a powerless victim of Jewish scheming or Roman torture but that he willingly laid His life down.&nbsp; (John 10:11, 18). The Bible tells us Jesus “gave Himself for our sins” (Galatians 1:3) because “he loved” us (Galatians 2:20).&nbsp; Jesus himself said, “greater love has no one than this, than that a man lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13).&nbsp; Out of love for us Jesus willingly laid down his own life so we could be saved from our sins.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani:&nbsp; And not only that, the Bible tells us that Jesus died for our sins and rose from the dead—which clearly demonstrates the power of God over both sin and death. This is why the Bible says, “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9-10).&nbsp; This is a promise from God to us.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike:&nbsp; That’s right Amani. The English word “gospel” means “good news” and the good news is that we can know what will happen to us on the Day of Judgment because “we have been saved by grace, . . . it is the gift of God, not of works, so that no one can boast (Ephesians 2:8-9). &nbsp; This is a major difference between Christianity and not just Islam, but all other religions.&nbsp; Think about this: if salvation is based on what we must do, we can never be assured that we have done enough to be saved.&nbsp; But because salvation is not based on our faithfulness or hard work, but on what Jesus lovingly did for us in choosing to die and rising again ,He promises us eternal life (John 5:24, 1John 2:25)!&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: And this is why I left Islam to follow Jesus – how could I reject such an offer from God if he died on my behalf. It was very difficult decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>","\u003Cp>Joy: How I can be sure that my life is pleasing to God? &nbsp; How can I be sure I will go to heaven?  Does God favor men over women?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hi there. My name is Joy and I was raised in a Muslim home. These were just some of the many spiritual questions I had growing up in Islam. It was pretty hard for me to find answers but with a lot of struggle I discovered that there were answers.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Maybe you have struggled with some of the same questions. Today I want to help you find answers to your spiritual questions.&nbsp; Let me start by introducing you to two friends of mine – Mike and Amani – both of whom are experts on the topic of Islam.&nbsp; Mike is from a Shia background and Amani is from a Sunni background.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So Mike, let’s start with that first question, “How can I be sure that I am pleasing to God?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Thanks Joy. As you know, Islam is a religion of works and there are no guarantees of salvation. Islam teaches that our deeds in life are recorded—both the good and the bad—and on Qiyamah or Judgment Day, our good and bad deeds will be weighed against one another. If the good deeds outweigh the bad then maybe we will be permitted into heaven, if Allah wills.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Yes, that’s right Mike.&nbsp; When I was a Muslim, this anxiety about my spiritual future often left me with feeling that I was never good enough for God. Even with all of my attempts to accumulate good works, I still felt that I did not measure up His standards. [to the screen] Have you ever felt that nothing would be good enough for a perfect God? I know that many of my Muslim friends shared these feelings. Somehow we knew that even if we performed all of our religious duties: prayer, alms, fasting, the hajj that this was somehow not enough to endure His judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: I know what you mean Amani. I used to feel that I could never measure up and never have a relationship with God. Perhaps I could understand God through the Qur'an and know about Him but I could never reach him. He was just too far off.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Yes, Joy and these feelings were particularly challenging for me as a Muslim woman. After all, if the prophet said that there were far more women in hell than men, then my situation looked pretty bleak.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: That’s why today Amani and I want to talk about our spiritual journey getting to know Jesus Christ and learning what the Bible really says about Him. We want to share with you the story of God’s good news.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy:&nbsp; But Mike, how can we get any kind of news from the Bible? I was always taught that the Bible was corrupted and that Christians have three gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Of course you were told that. All Muslims are told that. But, at the time, did you ever stop to ask yourself where it was corrupted and by whom?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: You know what? That’s a good point. I didn't ask that question because I was taught not to question my teachers.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Exactly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: But it is a great question, so is there an answer?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Joy, we need to start by reviewing some background facts. Do you know how many manuscripts of the New Testament (“The Injil”) scholars have?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: Not off the top of my head, no.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Well, there are over 5,600 handwritten manuscript copies of the New Testament written in the original language of Greek. In addition to these Greek copies, there are more than 19,000 hand written copies of the Greek New Testament in the languages of Aramaic, Syriac, Latin and Coptic. This means that we have 24,000 copies of the New Testament, which come from all over the Middle East and from different people groups. This means that there was no one person controlling all those thousands of manuscripts. Muslims teach that the Bible has been changed but it seems that they have not considered the problem with this idea: to deliberately introduce a change, you would have to control scribes over a vast geographical area and do it in multiple languages simultaneously.

Anyone can read the translation and confirm that the content of this 1700-year-old Bible is the same as the Bible you can buy off the shelf in any bookstore. Pick any passage you like. Read the translation yourself and then compare it to any Bible online. Take the Gospel of John verses 1 and 2. Go and look for yourself.

When hundreds of people hand copy an entire book 25,000 times, some transcription errors are expected but the changes don't alter the meaning of the book and message of the book. Anyone can go and verify this for themselves.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: But I was always told that the Qur'an does not even have these little alterations. I was told that every single copy of the Qur’an in the world was 100% identical. I was taught that God’s book should be perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Did you ever investigate that claim that all copies of the Qur’an are identical?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: No.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Well, neither did I. I just believed what I was told. The problem is, I believed a lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As a starting point, I want to direct you to watch a debate between two scholars—one Muslim and one Christian. The Muslim scholar is Shabir Ally from the University of Toronto in Canada and the second is Jay Smith who is a prominent Christian debator who lives in England.&nbsp; If you go take the time to watch the video, you will see that Jay makes specific reference to many changes known to have occurred in copies of the Qur’an known as Topkapi Manuscript (in Turkey), the Samarkand Kufic (in Uzbekistan), Codex Parisino-petropolitanus (in Paris) and the Ma’il Manuscipt (in Britain).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But let’s focus on one of the sets of manuscripts that Jay discusses: the Sana’a manuscripts. In 1972 a group of Qur’anic manuscripts found in at the Great Mosque of Sana’a in Yemen. These manuscripts are among the oldest manuscripts in existence, dating from before 671 AD and they are what are known as “palimpsests”. This is just a big word for a manuscript that has been recycled by washing off the old text and writing on a new one. Writing materials were expensive, you see.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the case of the Sana’a manuscripts, it can be seen very clearly that the older text of the Qur'an, which was overwritten but still visible, was different from the traditional Uthmanic text. The very existence of the numerous word variations means the not all Qur'ans are totally identical—a fact widely acknowledged by academics and professors of Islamic Studies. But these information has been withheld from lay people, likely because it is so opposite to what Most Muslims have been taught.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: But why would we think all copies of the Qur’an should be identical? The Hadith tells use that Uthman collected the scraps of the Qur'an written on small pieces of parchment, papyrus, stones and camel bones. There is even a tradition from Aisha that a goat ate one verse and it was lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Another problem is that the early copies of the Qur'an did not have diacritical markings meaning that single words can have multiple Arabic meanings as any Arabic speaker knows. I used to believe that there was no controversy about the content of the Qur'an. However, even a brief investigation shows us that the manuscripts of the Qur'an are not perfectly copied. Anyone who takes the time to investigate this matter further will find that what we have said here is true. If you want to see more videos that explain this, follow the links we have provided below.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So, you see, Joy, the original documents of the Qur’an are no different from the Bible.&nbsp; However, the difference is that we still have tens of thousands of ancient hand-written copies of Bible allowing the comparison of texts and tracking and correcting of minor copying errors. This actually allows us to be confident that we know what the original said. Obviously, this kind of scholarship is not possible with the Qur’an since its earliest copies were deliberately destroyed and we don’t have them anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: OK – so, suppose I accept these arguments. I would still have a big problem. You see, I was always taught that Christians had three gods – they called it a “Trinity” - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This seemed very strange to me. Christians say that they worship one God but then they talk about God as if He is three.&nbsp; Are Christians worshiping three gods?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: It's a great question Joy and it's easy to have that misconception from reading the Qur'an.&nbsp; But when I would ask my imam hard questions like this he would say, “You shouldn't think so much. You're only a woman”. But the God of the Bible had female prophets so, I am sure that it is good for both women and men to ask all the questions they want.&nbsp; The Biblical teaching on the Trinity is not and has never been that there are three gods with equal power. The term “Trinity” is just a description of what we can read in the Bible about the One True God.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: But anyone can see why this is confusing. How can three be one?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Joy, you are right. It does not appear to make sense, but it is definitely what the Bible teaches. The Bible says “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” (Deut 6:4-5). Christians believe that God is One and His Oneness is repeatedly affirmed throughout the Bible (Rom 3:20, 1 Cor 8:6, Eph 4:6, 1 Tim 2:5, James 2:19).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>From a Muslim’s perspective, one source of confusion is the term “Spirit of God” or “Holy Spirit”.&nbsp; In Arabic when we say الروح القدس , many Muslims think this refers to the angel Gabriel. But, Christians believe that the Spirit of God is literally the Spirit of God. Christians do not believe that the Spirit of God is any less God than God Himself. In fact Jesus says, “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24). It is the Spirit of God that provided the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures to the prophets of God.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: So you've mentioned God the Father, and the Holy Spirit – what about the Son?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: OK – but I need to back up for a second and explain how the Bible is laid out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Old Testament makes up the first two thirds of the Bible is made up of Taurat, the Zabur and other writings of God's prophets and historians who lived before Jesus.&nbsp; It was written during a period of over three thousand years and weaves in a long and detailed prophetic picture of the Messiah, Jesus, who will deliver Israel and all of mankind from their sin. Right from the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, there is a promise that a descendant of Eve will one day stamp on the head of the Serpent, Satan. For example 700 years before Jesus was born, the prophet, Isaiah wrote: “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel” (Isa 7:9). It’s easy to see this must be talking about Jesus who was born of the virgin Mary. But, Joy, do you know what the name Immanuel means?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: No. What does it mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: It means “God with us”… So, when the virgin bears a son, Isaiah is saying that this son will be “God with us”. You can see the problem. This scripture indicates that Jesus will be called both “a son” who is at the same time “God with us”. The prophecies indicate that Messiah, will be God Himself and Jesus says many things to identify Himself as God. For example he says, “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.” (John 14:9) and also “I and the Father are one.” (John 10:30). Jesus even applies God’s name “I AM” to himself in John 8:58.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Amani, now I’m the one who wants to back us up for a sec. Our friends need to understand something: In order to have a complete understanding of what the Bible means, we must read it differently than we have been taught to read the Qur'an. Unlike the Qur’an, no one verse of the Bible stands by itself. It’s the whole Bible together that builds a complete picture of who God is. All the verses of the Bible have to be true all at the same time. There is no abrogation. So, you're stuck with a problem. The Bible says that the Father is God. And it says that the Holy Spirit is God and it says that Jesus is God but it also says that God is One. For the whole Bible to be true all at the same time, the One God must have three Persons.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: But God having a son? This is very strange to the ears of a Muslim—especially since the Qur’an says over and over that God does not have a son. Does it mean that God has a wife too?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Well if you are thinking in human terms, you might assume something terrible like that. Some Muslims mistakenly claim that Christians believe this, but it is not true. Christians believe that God has always, for eternity past, had a relationship with Jesus Christ that is like a father-son relationship. But this does not imply that there is nothing distasteful about how Mary became pregnant. The Bible simply teaches that God placed the child Jesus Christ in Mary's womb miraculously without the intervention of any human being.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy:&nbsp; There’s something else I found confusing. I’ve heard Christians say “Jesus died for your sins”. Why should Jesus’ death be connected to God’s forgiveness? If God wanted to forgive, why wouldn’t he just forgive? After all, He says “Be” and it is. Why would Jesus’s death be required for my forgiveness?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Joy, this gets kind of gets back to one of our earlier questions: “How can I be sure that my sins will be forgiven on the Day of Judgment?” The Qur'an is very clear. It says repeatedly “No man can bear the burdens of another man”. Every man and woman is responsible for his or her own sin and must bear the punishment, or perhaps, balance it out with good deeds. But this is not what the Bible teaches about sin. When Adam and Eve sinned, the Bible teaches that they realized that they were naked, both in a physical sense and in a spiritual sense. The scripture explains that because of sin, they were doomed to physical death and to permanent separation from God in hell.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Adam and Eve felt ashamed of what they had done and they were sorry so God clothed them in the skin of an animal (Gen 3:21) to cover their shame. To accomplish this, God had to kill an animal. Later on God explains that in order for sin to be forgiven (Heb 9:22), a sacrifice must occur: something must die. This is why animal sacrifice for sin was required in the law that Moses brought down from God.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But it is important to understand that these animal sacrifices were just a foreshadowing of God's true plan for man's forgiveness and restoration to friendship with Him. You see, John the Baptist, Yehyah, called Jesus, “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world”. What he was saying was the Jesus was going to bear the burdens of not just one other man, but all men. Because Jesus lived a life that was sinless, he could act as a sacrifice, a Lamb if you like, sufficient to cover the sins of all men who ever lived, if they were willing to accept this offer and to follow Him.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So, in fact, it is actually true that no ordinary man can bear the burdens of another man. It takes an extra-ordinary man, a perfect, a Divine Man to be able to bear the burdens of another man. This is why Jesus came to Earth, to die on our behalf so that God could forgive our sins.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: What about the good deeds? Are they worthless then?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Well, they do not help us achieve salvation. God is completely holy says that even our best efforts are like “filthy rags” before him (Isaiah 64:6).&nbsp; However, good deeds are an offering of gratitude that we give to God because of the forgiveness he guarantees us through the death of Jesus on our behalf.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: But the Quran teaches that Jesus did not die – but that it just looked that way.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: But that’s not what he Bible teaches at all Joy. The Bible says God chose to come to Earth in human form, in the person of Jesus Christ. And it teaches that he came for a very specific mission: to die for sinners on the cross—to be crucified. Ancient historians who were not Christians and did not even like Christianity write about Jesus’ crucifixion as a matter of simple fact.&nbsp; Josephus, a Jewish historian writing in the first century wrote in 93 AD in his Antiquities of the Jews, “Pilate condemned [Jesus] to be crucified and to die.”&nbsp; Not only that but the many accounts from early Christians, the people who were Jesus’ friends and contemporaries, all indicate that Jesus died. The four separate historical accounts of the Gospel all clearly state this as a fact. Why is so much credence given to one man, Mohammad, who lived 600 years after Jesus when he claims that Jesus did not die? Does it make sense to believe the eyewitnesses of an event or believe someone who was born six centuries later? Maybe there something very important about the crucifixion that someone was trying to undo.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike:&nbsp; I think there is, Amani. You see, Satan knows that the power of Jesus’ message is in the understanding that we cannot save ourselves from our own sin—and that our sin must be put onto Jesus Christ. If men and women can be tricked into believing that the crucifixion did not occur, then they will remain hopelessly trying to work their way to heaven. They won’t know that they can receive their forgiveness because Jesus paid the price for them already.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: But why would Jesus do this for us?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Jesus was not a powerless victim of Jewish scheming or Roman torture but that he willingly laid His life down.&nbsp; (John 10:11, 18).   The Bible tells us Jesus “gave Himself for our sins” (Galatians 1:3) because “he loved” us (Galatians 2:20).&nbsp; Jesus himself said, “greater love has no one than this, than that a man lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13).&nbsp; Out of love for us Jesus willingly laid down his own life so we could be saved from our sins.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani:&nbsp; And not only that, the Bible tells us that Jesus died for our sins and rose from the dead—which clearly demonstrates the power of God over both sin and death. This is why the Bible says, “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9-10).&nbsp; This is a promise from God to us.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike:&nbsp; That’s right Amani. The English word “gospel” means “good news” and the good news is that we can know what will happen to us on the Day of Judgment because “we have been saved by grace, . . . it is the gift of God, not of works, so that no one can boast (Ephesians 2:8-9). &nbsp; This is a major difference between Christianity and not just Islam, but all other religions.&nbsp; Think about this: if salvation is based on what we must do, we can never be assured that we have done enough to be saved.&nbsp; But because salvation is not based on our faithfulness or hard work, but on what Jesus lovingly did for us in choosing to die and rising again ,He promises us eternal life (John 5:24, 1John 2:25)!&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: And this is why I left Islam to follow Jesus – how could I reject such an offer from God if he died on my behalf. It was very difficult decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>","Lets dive into these questions and more as we discuss Islam and Christianity in depth.","\u003Ciframe src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplayer.vimeo.com\u002Fvideo\u002F339324408?autoplay=1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen>\u003C\u002Fiframe>","is-islam-correct","2020-05-22T15:38:28.727Z","2026-07-29T16:56:45.473Z","https:\u002F\u002Ftruelifeorg.s3.amazonaws.com\u002Fresources\u002F1630203049797_Screen%20Shot%202021-08-28%20at%2010.09.29%20PM.png","https:\u002F\u002Ftruelifeorg.s3.amazonaws.com\u002Fresources\u002F1630203050898_Screen%20Shot%202021-08-28%20at%2010.09.29%20PM.png","¿Es correcto el islam?","\u003Cp>Joy: ¿Cómo puedo estar segura de que mi vida es agradable a Dios? &nbsp; ¿Cómo puedo estar segura de que iré al cielo? ¿Favorece Dios a los hombres sobre las mujeres?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hola. Mi nombre es Joy y crecí en un hogar musulmán. Estas fueron solo algunas de las muchas preguntas espirituales que tuve al crecer en el Islam. Fue bastante difícil para mí encontrar respuestas, pero con mucho esfuerzo descubrí que había respuestas.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tal vez tú hayas luchado con algunas de las mismas preguntas. Hoy quiero ayudarte a encontrar respuestas a tus preguntas espirituales.&nbsp; Permíteme comenzar presentándote a dos amigos míos – Mike y Amani – ambos expertos en el tema del Islam.&nbsp; Mike proviene de un trasfondo chiita y Amani de un trasfondo sunita.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Entonces Mike, comencemos con esa primera pregunta, “¿Cómo puedo estar seguro de que soy agradable a Dios?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Gracias Joy. Como sabes, el Islam es una religión de obras y no hay garantías de salvación. El Islam enseña que nuestras acciones en la vida son registradas—tanto las buenas como las malas—y en el Qiyamah o Día del Juicio, nuestras buenas y malas acciones serán pesadas una contra la otra. Si las buenas acciones pesan más que las malas, entonces tal vez se nos permita entrar al cielo, si Alá lo quiere.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Sí, así es Mike.&nbsp; Cuando era musulmana, esta ansiedad sobre mi futuro espiritual a menudo me dejaba con la sensación de que nunca era lo suficientemente buena para Dios. Incluso con todos mis intentos de acumular buenas obras, aún sentía que no cumplía con Sus estándares. [a la pantalla] ¿Alguna vez has sentido que nada sería lo suficientemente bueno para un Dios perfecto? Sé que muchos de mis amigos musulmanes compartían estos sentimientos. De alguna manera sabíamos que incluso si cumplíamos con todos nuestros deberes religiosos: oración, limosna, ayuno, el hajj, de alguna manera esto no era suficiente para soportar Su juicio.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: Sé lo que quieres decir Amani. Yo solía sentir que nunca podría estar a la altura y nunca tener una relación con Dios. Quizás podría entender a Dios a través del Corán y saber acerca de Él, pero nunca podría alcanzarlo. Estaba demasiado lejos.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Sí, Joy, y estos sentimientos fueron particularmente desafiantes para mí como mujer musulmana. Después de todo, si el profeta dijo que había muchas más mujeres en el infierno que hombres, entonces mi situación se veía bastante sombría.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Es por eso que hoy Amani y yo queremos hablar de nuestro viaje espiritual conociendo a Jesucristo y aprendiendo lo que la Biblia realmente dice acerca de Él. Queremos compartir contigo la historia de las buenas nuevas de Dios.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy:&nbsp; Pero Mike, ¿cómo podemos obtener algún tipo de noticia de la Biblia? Siempre me enseñaron que la Biblia estaba corrompida y que los cristianos tienen tres dioses.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Por supuesto que te dijeron eso. A todos los musulmanes se les dice eso. Pero, en ese momento, ¿alguna vez te detuviste a preguntarte dónde estaba corrompida y por quién?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: ¿Sabes qué? Ese es un buen punto. No hice esa pregunta porque me enseñaron a no cuestionar a mis maestros.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Exactamente.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: Pero es una gran pregunta, entonces, ¿hay una respuesta?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Joy, necesitamos comenzar revisando algunos hechos de fondo. ¿Sabes cuántos manuscritos del Nuevo Testamento (“El Injil”) tienen los estudiosos?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: No de inmediato, no.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Bueno, hay más de 5,600 copias manuscritas del Nuevo Testamento escritas en el idioma original griego. Además de estas copias griegas, hay más de 19,000 copias manuscritas del Nuevo Testamento griego en los idiomas arameo, siríaco, latín y copto. Esto significa que tenemos 24,000 copias del Nuevo Testamento, que provienen de todo el Medio Oriente y de diferentes grupos de personas. Esto significa que no había una sola persona controlando todos esos miles de manuscritos. Los musulmanes enseñan que la Biblia ha sido cambiada, pero parece que no han considerado el problema con esta idea: para introducir deliberadamente un cambio, tendrías que controlar a los escribas en una vasta área geográfica y hacerlo en múltiples idiomas simultáneamente.

Me dijeron que todas las copias del Corán en el mundo eran idénticas al 100 %. Me enseñaron que el libro de Dios debería ser perfecto.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: ¿Alguna vez investigaste esa afirmación de que todas las copias del Corán son idénticas?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: No.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Bueno, yo tampoco. Solo creí lo que me dijeron. El problema es que creí una mentira.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Como punto de partida, quiero dirigirte a ver un debate entre dos eruditos: uno musulmán y otro cristiano. El erudito musulmán es Shabir Ally de la Universidad de Toronto en Canadá y el segundo es Jay Smith, un destacado debatiente cristiano que vive en Inglaterra.&nbsp; Si te tomas el tiempo de ver el video, verás que Jay hace referencia específica a muchos cambios conocidos que han ocurrido en copias del Corán conocidas como el Manuscrito Topkapi (en Turquía), el Kufic de Samarcanda (en Uzbekistán), el Codex Parisino-petropolitanus (en París) y el Manuscrito Ma’il (en Gran Bretaña).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pero centrémonos en uno de los conjuntos de manuscritos que Jay discute: los manuscritos de Sana’a. En 1972 se encontraron un grupo de manuscritos coránicos en la Gran Mezquita de Sana’a en Yemen. Estos manuscritos se encuentran entre los más antiguos que existen, datan de antes del 671 d. C. y son lo que se conoce como “palimpsestos”. Esta es solo una palabra grande para un manuscrito que ha sido reciclado lavando el texto antiguo y escribiendo uno nuevo. Los materiales de escritura eran caros, ya ves.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En el caso de los manuscritos de Sana’a, se puede ver muy claramente que el texto más antiguo del Corán, que fue sobrescrito pero aún visible, era diferente del texto tradicional de Uthman. La mera existencia de las numerosas variaciones de palabras significa que no todos los Coranes son totalmente idénticos, un hecho ampliamente reconocido por académicos y profesores de Estudios Islámicos. Pero esta información se ha ocultado a la gente común, probablemente porque es tan contraria a lo que la mayoría de los musulmanes han sido enseñados.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Pero ¿por qué pensaríamos que todas las copias del Corán deberían ser idénticas? El Hadiz nos dice que Uthman recopiló los fragmentos del Corán escritos en pequeños trozos de pergamino, papiro, piedras y huesos de camello. Incluso hay una tradición de Aisha de que una cabra se comió un versículo y se perdió.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Otro problema es que las copias tempranas del Corán no tenían marcas diacríticas, lo que significa que las palabras individuales pueden tener múltiples significados en árabe, como sabe cualquier hablante de árabe. Solía creer que no había controversia sobre el contenido del Corán. Sin embargo, incluso una breve investigación nos muestra que los manuscritos del Corán no se copiaron perfectamente. Cualquiera que se tome el tiempo de investigar más este asunto descubrirá que lo que hemos dicho aquí es cierto. Si quieres ver más videos que expliquen esto, sigue los enlaces que hemos proporcionado a continuación.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Entonces, ves, Joy, los documentos originales del Corán no son diferentes de la Biblia.&nbsp; Sin embargo, la diferencia es que todavía tenemos decenas de miles de copias antiguas manuscritas de la Biblia que permiten la comparación de textos y el seguimiento y corrección de errores menores de copia. Esto en realidad nos permite estar seguros de que sabemos lo que decía el original. Obviamente, este tipo de erudición no es posible con el Corán, ya que sus copias más antiguas fueron deliberadamente destruidas y ya no las tenemos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: Está bien, entonces, supongamos que acepto estos argumentos. Todavía tendría un gran problema. Verás, siempre me enseñaron que los cristianos tenían tres dioses: lo llamaban una “Trinidad”: Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo. Esto me parecía muy extraño. Los cristianos dicen que adoran a un solo Dios, pero luego hablan de Dios como si fuera tres.&nbsp; ¿Los cristianos adoran a tres dioses?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Es una gran pregunta, Joy, y es fácil tener ese malentendido al leer el Corán.&nbsp; Pero cuando le hacía preguntas difíciles como esta a mi imán, él decía: “No deberías pensar tanto. Solo eres una mujer”. Pero el Dios de la Biblia tuvo profetisas, así que estoy segura de que es bueno que tanto las mujeres como los hombres hagan todas las preguntas que quieran.&nbsp; La enseñanza bíblica sobre la Trinidad no es ni ha sido nunca que hay tres dioses con igual poder. El término “Trinidad” es solo una descripción de lo que podemos leer en la Biblia sobre el Único Dios Verdadero.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: Pero cualquiera puede ver por qué esto es confuso. ¿Cómo pueden tres ser uno?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Joy, tienes razón. No parece tener sentido, pero definitivamente es lo que enseña la Biblia. La Biblia dice: “Oye, Israel: El Señor nuestro Dios, el Señor uno es. Amarás al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma y con todas tus fuerzas” (Deut 6:4-5). Los cristianos creen que Dios es Uno y que su Unicidad se afirma repetidamente en toda la Biblia (Rom 3:20, 1 Cor 8:6, Ef 4:6, 1 Tim 2:5, Sant 2:19).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Desde la perspectiva de un musulmán, una fuente de confusión es el término “Espíritu de Dios” o “Espíritu Santo”.&nbsp; En árabe, cuando decimos الروح القدس, muchos musulmanes piensan que se refiere al ángel Gabriel. Pero los cristianos creen que el Espíritu de Dios es literalmente el Espíritu de Dios. Los cristianos no creen que el Espíritu de Dios sea menos Dios que Dios mismo. De hecho, Jesús dice: “Dios es espíritu, y sus adoradores deben adorar en espíritu y en verdad” (Juan 4:24). Es el Espíritu de Dios el que proporcionó la inspiración de las Sagradas Escrituras a los profetas de Dios.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: Entonces has mencionado a Dios Padre y al Espíritu Santo, ¿qué pasa con el Hijo?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Está bien, pero necesito retroceder un segundo y explicar cómo está estructurada la Biblia.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El Antiguo Testamento constituye los dos primeros tercios de la Biblia y está compuesto por la Taurat, el Zabur y otros escritos de los profetas e historiadores de Dios que vivieron antes de Jesús.&nbsp; Fue escrito durante un período de más de tres mil años y teje una imagen profética larga y detallada del Mesías, Jesús, quien librará a Israel y a toda la humanidad de su pecado. Desde la historia de Adán y Eva en el Jardín del Edén, hay una promesa de que un descendiente de Eva un día pisará la cabeza de la Serpiente, Satanás. Por ejemplo, 700 años antes de que Jesús naciera, el profeta Isaías escribió: “Por tanto, el Señor mismo os dará una señal: He aquí que la virgen concebirá y dará a luz un hijo, y lo llamará Emanuel” (Isa 7:14). Es fácil ver que esto debe referirse a Jesús, quien nació de la virgen María. Pero, Joy, ¿sabes qué significa el nombre Emanuel?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: No. ¿Qué significa?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Significa “Dios con nosotros”… Así que, cuando la virgen dé a luz un hijo, Isaías está diciendo que este hijo será “Dios con nosotros”. Puedes ver el problema. Esta escritura indica que Jesús será llamado tanto “un hijo” que al mismo tiempo es “Dios con nosotros”. Las profecías indican que el Mesías será Dios mismo y Jesús dice muchas cosas para identificarse como Dios. Por ejemplo, dice: “El que me ha visto a mí, ha visto al Padre.” (Juan 14:9) y también “Yo y el Padre uno somos.” (Juan 10:30). Jesús incluso aplica el nombre de Dios “YO SOY” a sí mismo en Juan 8:58.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Amani, ahora soy yo quien quiere retroceder un segundo. Nuestros amigos necesitan entender algo: Para tener una comprensión completa de lo que significa la Biblia, debemos leerla de manera diferente a como nos han enseñado a leer el Corán. A diferencia del Corán, ningún versículo de la Biblia se sostiene por sí solo. Es toda la Biblia junta la que construye una imagen completa de quién es Dios. Todos los versículos de la Biblia tienen que ser verdaderos al mismo tiempo. No hay abrogación. Así que, te enfrentas a un problema. La Biblia dice que el Padre es Dios. Y dice que el Espíritu Santo es Dios y dice que Jesús es Dios, pero también dice que Dios es Uno. Para que toda la Biblia sea verdadera al mismo tiempo, el Dios Uno debe tener tres Personas.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: ¿Pero Dios teniendo un hijo? Esto es muy extraño para los oídos de un musulmán—especialmente porque el Corán dice una y otra vez que Dios no tiene un hijo. ¿Significa eso que Dios también tiene una esposa?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Bueno, si piensas en términos humanos, podrías asumir algo terrible como eso. Algunos musulmanes afirman erróneamente que los cristianos creen esto, pero no es verdad. Los cristianos creen que Dios siempre, desde la eternidad pasada, ha tenido una relación con Jesucristo que es como una relación padre-hijo. Pero esto no implica que haya nada desagradable en cómo María quedó embarazada. La Biblia simplemente enseña que Dios colocó al niño Jesucristo en el vientre de María milagrosamente sin la intervención de ningún ser humano.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy:&nbsp; Hay algo más que encontré confuso. He oído a cristianos decir “Jesús murió por tus pecados”. ¿Por qué la muerte de Jesús debería estar conectada con el perdón de Dios? Si Dios quería perdonar, ¿por qué no simplemente perdonaría? Después de todo, Él dice “Sea” y es. ¿Por qué la muerte de Jesús sería necesaria para mi perdón?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Joy, esto vuelve un poco a una de nuestras preguntas anteriores: “¿Cómo puedo estar seguro de que mis pecados serán perdonados en el Día del Juicio?” El Corán es muy claro. Dice repetidamente “Ningún hombre puede llevar las cargas de otro hombre”. Cada hombre y mujer es responsable de su propio pecado y debe llevar el castigo, o tal vez, equilibrarlo con buenas obras. Pero esto no es lo que la Biblia enseña sobre el pecado. Cuando Adán y Eva pecaron, la Biblia enseña que se dieron cuenta de que estaban desnudos, tanto en un sentido físico como en un sentido espiritual. La escritura explica que a causa del pecado, estaban condenados a la muerte física y a la separación permanente de Dios en el infierno.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Adán y Eva se sintieron avergonzados de lo que habían hecho y estaban arrepentidos, así que Dios los vistió con la piel de un animal (Gén 3:21) para cubrir su vergüenza. Para lograr esto, Dios tuvo que matar a un animal. Más tarde, Dios explica que para que el pecado sea perdonado (Heb 9:22), debe ocurrir un sacrificio: algo debe morir. Esta es la razón por la que el sacrificio de animales por el pecado era requerido en la ley que Moisés trajo de Dios.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pero es importante entender que estos sacrificios de animales eran solo un anticipo del plan verdadero de Dios para el perdón y la restauración del hombre a la amistad con Él. Verás, Juan el Bautista, Yahya, llamó a Jesús, “el Cordero de Dios que quita el pecado del mundo”. Lo que estaba diciendo era que Jesús iba a llevar las cargas no solo de un otro hombre, sino de todos los hombres. Porque Jesús vivió una vida sin pecado, podía actuar como un sacrificio, un Cordero si quieres, suficiente para cubrir los pecados de todos los hombres que alguna vez vivieron, si estaban dispuestos a aceptar esta oferta y a seguirle.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Así que, de hecho, es realmente cierto que ningún hombre ordinario puede llevar las cargas de otro hombre. Se necesita un hombre extraordinario, un hombre perfecto, un Hombre Divino para poder llevar las cargas de otro hombre. Esta es la razón por la que Jesús vino a la Tierra, para morir en nuestro lugar para que Dios pudiera perdonar nuestros pecados.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: ¿Qué pasa con las buenas obras? ¿Son entonces inútiles?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Bueno, no nos ayudan a lograr la salvación. Dios es completamente santo y dice que incluso nuestros mejores esfuerzos son como “trapos inmundos” ante él (Isaías 64:6).&nbsp; Sin embargo, las buenas obras son una ofrenda de gratitud que le damos a Dios por el perdón que nos garantiza a través de la muerte de Jesús en nuestro lugar.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: Pero el Corán enseña que Jesús no murió – sino que solo pareció así.\u003C\u002Fp>Amani: Pero eso no es lo que enseña la Biblia en absoluto, Joy. La Biblia dice que Dios eligió venir a la Tierra en forma humana, en la persona de Jesucristo. Y enseña que vino con una misión muy específica: morir por los pecadores en la cruz, ser crucificado. Historiadores antiguos que no eran cristianos y que ni siquiera les gustaba el cristianismo escriben sobre la crucifixión de Jesús como un hecho simple.&nbsp; Josefo, un historiador judío que escribió en el primer siglo, escribió en el año 93 d.C. en sus Antigüedades de los judíos: “Pilato condenó [a Jesús] a ser crucificado y a morir”.&nbsp; No solo eso, sino que los muchos relatos de los primeros cristianos, las personas que eran amigos y contemporáneos de Jesús, indican que Jesús murió. Los cuatro relatos históricos separados del Evangelio afirman claramente esto como un hecho. ¿Por qué se da tanto crédito a un solo hombre, Mahoma, que vivió 600 años después de Jesús cuando afirma que Jesús no murió? ¿Tiene sentido creer a los testigos presenciales de un evento o creer a alguien que nació seis siglos después? Tal vez haya algo muy importante sobre la crucifixión que alguien estaba tratando de deshacer.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike:&nbsp; Creo que sí, Amani. Verás, Satanás sabe que el poder del mensaje de Jesús está en la comprensión de que no podemos salvarnos de nuestro propio pecado, y que nuestro pecado debe ser puesto sobre Jesucristo. Si se puede engañar a hombres y mujeres para que crean que la crucifixión no ocurrió, entonces seguirán tratando desesperadamente de ganarse el cielo con sus obras. No sabrán que pueden recibir su perdón porque Jesús ya pagó el precio por ellos.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: Pero, ¿por qué haría Jesús esto por nosotros?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Jesús no fue una víctima indefensa de las intrigas judías o de la tortura romana, sino que voluntariamente entregó Su vida.&nbsp; (Juan 10:11, 18). La Biblia nos dice que Jesús “se dio a sí mismo por nuestros pecados” (Gálatas 1:3) porque “nos amó” (Gálatas 2:20).&nbsp; El mismo Jesús dijo: “nadie tiene mayor amor que este, que uno ponga su vida por sus amigos” (Juan 15:13).&nbsp; Por amor a nosotros, Jesús voluntariamente entregó su propia vida para que pudiéramos ser salvos de nuestros pecados.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani:&nbsp; Y no solo eso, la Biblia nos dice que Jesús murió por nuestros pecados y resucitó de entre los muertos, lo cual demuestra claramente el poder de Dios sobre el pecado y la muerte. Por eso la Biblia dice: “Si confiesas con tu boca que Jesús es el Señor y crees en tu corazón que Dios lo resucitó de entre los muertos, serás salvo” (Romanos 10:9-10).&nbsp; Esta es una promesa de Dios para nosotros.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike:&nbsp; Así es, Amani. La palabra inglesa “gospel” significa “buenas nuevas” y la buena nueva es que podemos saber qué nos sucederá en el Día del Juicio porque “hemos sido salvos por gracia, . . . es don de Dios, no por obras, para que nadie se gloríe” (Efesios 2:8-9).&nbsp; Esta es una diferencia importante entre el cristianismo y no solo el islam, sino todas las demás religiones.&nbsp; Piensa en esto: si la salvación se basa en lo que debemos hacer, nunca podemos estar seguros de haber hecho lo suficiente para ser salvos.&nbsp; Pero como la salvación no se basa en nuestra fidelidad o esfuerzo, sino en lo que Jesús amorosamente hizo por nosotros al elegir morir y resucitar, Él nos promete vida eterna (Juan 5:24, 1 Juan 2:25).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Y por eso dejé el islam para seguir a Jesús: ¿cómo podría rechazar una oferta así de Dios si murió en mi lugar? Fue una decisión muy difícil.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>","\u003Ciframe src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplayer.vimeo.com\u002Fvideo\u002F464451300\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen>\u003C\u002Fiframe>","\u003Cp>Joy: ¿Cómo puedo estar segura de que mi vida es agradable a Dios? &nbsp; ¿Cómo puedo estar segura de que iré al cielo?  ¿Favorece Dios a los hombres sobre las mujeres?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hola. Mi nombre es Joy y fui criada en un hogar musulmán. Estas fueron solo algunas de las muchas preguntas espirituales que tuve creciendo en el Islam. Fue bastante difícil para mí encontrar respuestas, pero con mucho esfuerzo descubrí que había respuestas.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tal vez tú hayas luchado con algunas de las mismas preguntas. Hoy quiero ayudarte a encontrar respuestas a tus preguntas espirituales.&nbsp; Permíteme comenzar presentándote a dos amigos míos – Mike y Amani – ambos expertos en el tema del Islam.&nbsp; Mike proviene de un trasfondo chiita y Amani de un trasfondo sunita.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Entonces Mike, comencemos con esa primera pregunta, “¿Cómo puedo estar seguro de que soy agradable a Dios?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Gracias Joy. Como sabes, el Islam es una religión de obras y no hay garantías de salvación. El Islam enseña que nuestras acciones en la vida quedan registradas—tanto las buenas como las malas—y en el Qiyamah o Día del Juicio, nuestras buenas y malas acciones serán pesadas una contra la otra. Si las buenas acciones pesan más que las malas, entonces tal vez se nos permita entrar al cielo, si Alá lo quiere.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Sí, así es Mike.&nbsp; Cuando era musulmana, esta ansiedad por mi futuro espiritual a menudo me dejaba con la sensación de que nunca era lo suficientemente buena para Dios. Incluso con todos mis intentos de acumular buenas obras, seguía sintiendo que no cumplía con Sus estándares. [a la pantalla] ¿Alguna vez has sentido que nada sería lo suficientemente bueno para un Dios perfecto? Sé que muchos de mis amigos musulmanes compartían estos sentimientos. De alguna manera sabíamos que incluso si cumplíamos con todos nuestros deberes religiosos: oración, limosna, ayuno, el hajj, esto de alguna manera no era suficiente para soportar Su juicio.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: Sé lo que quieres decir Amani. Yo solía sentir que nunca podría estar a la altura y nunca tener una relación con Dios. Quizás podría entender a Dios a través del Corán y saber acerca de Él, pero nunca podría alcanzarlo. Estaba demasiado lejos.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Sí, Joy, y estos sentimientos fueron particularmente desafiantes para mí como mujer musulmana. Después de todo, si el profeta dijo que había muchas más mujeres en el infierno que hombres, entonces mi situación se veía bastante sombría.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Es por eso que hoy Amani y yo queremos hablar sobre nuestro viaje espiritual conociendo a Jesucristo y aprendiendo lo que la Biblia realmente dice acerca de Él. Queremos compartir contigo la historia de las buenas nuevas de Dios.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy:&nbsp; Pero Mike, ¿cómo podemos obtener algún tipo de noticia de la Biblia? Siempre me enseñaron que la Biblia estaba corrompida y que los cristianos tienen tres dioses.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Por supuesto que te dijeron eso. A todos los musulmanes se les dice eso. Pero, en ese momento, ¿alguna vez te detuviste a preguntarte dónde estaba corrompida y por quién?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: ¿Sabes qué? Ese es un buen punto. No hice esa pregunta porque me enseñaron a no cuestionar a mis maestros.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Exactamente.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: Pero es una gran pregunta, entonces, ¿hay una respuesta?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Joy, necesitamos comenzar revisando algunos hechos de fondo. ¿Sabes cuántos manuscritos del Nuevo Testamento (“El Injil”) tienen los estudiosos?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: No de memoria, no.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Bueno, hay más de 5.600 copias manuscritas del Nuevo Testamento escritas en el idioma original griego. Además de estas copias griegas, hay más de 19.000 copias manuscritas del Nuevo Testamento griego en los idiomas arameo, siríaco, latín y copto. Esto significa que tenemos 24.000 copias del Nuevo Testamento, que provienen de todo el Medio Oriente y de diferentes grupos de personas. Esto significa que no había una sola persona controlando todos esos miles de manuscritos. Los musulmanes enseñan que la Biblia ha sido cambiada, pero parece que no han considerado el problema con esta idea: para introducir deliberadamente un cambio, tendrías que controlar a los escribas en una vasta área geográfica y hacerlo en múltiples idiomas simultáneamente. Esto simplemente no es posible.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ahora, solo tener 25.000 copias no significa que sepas lo que decía la copia original, pero sí te permite comparar todos los manuscritos y asegurarte de que el mensaje sea consistente y se transmita correctamente en las copias modernas de la Biblia.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: Pero no tengo acceso a estos manuscritos y de todos modos no conozco ninguno de estos idiomas. ¿Qué seguridad puedes darme de que lo que estás diciendo es correcto?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: ¿Y si pudieras mirar un manuscrito bíblico de 1700 años de antigüedad y comparar el mensaje con la Biblia que está en el estante de la librería?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: Entonces, ¿cómo puedo hacer eso?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Hay una Biblia completa de 300 años antes del nacimiento de Mahoma que se puede ver en línea.

Cualquiera puede leer la traducción y confirmar que el contenido de esta Biblia de 1700 años de antigüedad es el mismo que la Biblia que puedes comprar en cualquier librería. Elige cualquier pasaje que te guste. Lee la traducción tú mismo y luego compárala con cualquier Biblia en línea. Toma el Evangelio de Juan versículos 1 y 2. Ve y míralo tú mismo.

El erudito musulmán es Shabir Ally de la Universidad de Toronto en Canadá y el segundo es Jay Smith, un destacado debatiente cristiano que vive en Inglaterra.&nbsp; Si te tomas el tiempo de ver el video, verás que Jay hace referencia específica a muchos cambios que se sabe que ocurrieron en copias del Corán conocidas como el Manuscrito Topkapi (en Turquía), el Kufic de Samarcanda (en Uzbekistán), el Codex Parisino-petropolitanus (en París) y el Manuscrito Ma’il (en Gran Bretaña).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pero centrémonos en uno de los conjuntos de manuscritos que Jay discute: los manuscritos de Sana’a.

Estos manuscritos se encuentran entre los más antiguos que existen, datan de antes del 671 d.C. y son lo que se conoce como “palimpsestos”. Esta es solo una palabra grande para un manuscrito que ha sido reciclado lavando el texto antiguo y escribiendo uno nuevo. Los materiales de escritura eran caros, ya ves.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En el caso de los manuscritos de Sana’a, se puede ver muy claramente que el texto más antiguo del Corán, que fue sobrescrito pero aún visible, era diferente del texto tradicional de Uthman. La misma existencia de las numerosas variaciones de palabras significa que no todos los Coranes son totalmente idénticos, un hecho ampliamente reconocido por académicos y profesores de Estudios Islámicos. Pero esta información ha sido retenida de los laicos, probablemente porque es tan opuesta a lo que la mayoría de los musulmanes han sido enseñados.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Pero ¿por qué pensaríamos que todas las copias del Corán deberían ser idénticas? El Hadith nos dice que Uthman recopiló los fragmentos del Corán escritos en pequeños trozos de pergamino, papiro, piedras y huesos de camello. Incluso hay una tradición de Aisha que dice que una cabra se comió un versículo y se perdió.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Otro problema es que las copias tempranas del Corán no tenían marcas diacríticas, lo que significa que las palabras individuales pueden tener múltiples significados en árabe, como cualquier hablante de árabe sabe. Solía creer que no había controversia sobre el contenido del Corán. Sin embargo, incluso una breve investigación nos muestra que los manuscritos del Corán no se copiaron perfectamente. Cualquiera que se tome el tiempo de investigar más este asunto encontrará que lo que hemos dicho aquí es cierto. Si quieres ver más videos que expliquen esto, sigue los enlaces que hemos proporcionado a continuación.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Entonces, ves, Joy, los documentos originales del Corán no son diferentes de la Biblia.&nbsp; Sin embargo, la diferencia es que todavía tenemos decenas de miles de copias antiguas escritas a mano de la Biblia que permiten la comparación de textos y el seguimiento y corrección de errores menores de copia. Esto en realidad nos permite estar seguros de que sabemos lo que decía el original. Obviamente, este tipo de erudición no es posible con el Corán ya que sus copias más antiguas fueron deliberadamente destruidas y ya no las tenemos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: OK – entonces, supongamos que acepto estos argumentos. Todavía tendría un gran problema. Verás, siempre me enseñaron que los cristianos tenían tres dioses – lo llamaban una “Trinidad” – Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo. Esto me parecía muy extraño. Los cristianos dicen que adoran a un solo Dios pero luego hablan de Dios como si fuera tres.&nbsp; ¿Los cristianos adoran a tres dioses?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Es una gran pregunta, Joy, y es fácil tener ese malentendido al leer el Corán.&nbsp; Pero cuando le hacía a mi imán preguntas difíciles como esta, él decía: “No deberías pensar tanto. Solo eres una mujer”. Pero el Dios de la Biblia tenía profetisas, así que estoy segura de que es bueno tanto para las mujeres como para los hombres hacer todas las preguntas que quieran.&nbsp; La enseñanza bíblica sobre la Trinidad no es ni ha sido nunca que hay tres dioses con igual poder. El término “Trinidad” es solo una descripción de lo que podemos leer en la Biblia sobre el Único Dios Verdadero.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: Pero cualquiera puede ver por qué esto es confuso. ¿Cómo pueden tres ser uno?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Joy, tienes razón. No parece tener sentido, pero definitivamente es lo que enseña la Biblia. La Biblia dice: “Oye, Israel: El Señor nuestro Dios, el Señor uno es. Amarás al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma y con todas tus fuerzas.” (Deut 6:4-5). Los cristianos creen que Dios es Uno y su Unidad se afirma repetidamente a lo largo de la Biblia (Rom 3:20, 1 Cor 8:6, Ef 4:6, 1 Tim 2:5, Sant 2:19).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Desde la perspectiva de un musulmán, una fuente de confusión es el término “Espíritu de Dios” o “Espíritu Santo”.&nbsp; En árabe cuando decimos الروح القدس, muchos musulmanes piensan que esto se refiere al ángel Gabriel. Pero los cristianos creen que el Espíritu de Dios es literalmente el Espíritu de Dios. Los cristianos no creen que el Espíritu de Dios sea menos Dios que Dios mismo. De hecho, Jesús dice: “Dios es espíritu, y sus adoradores deben adorar en el Espíritu y en verdad.” (Juan 4:24). Es el Espíritu de Dios el que proporcionó la inspiración de las Sagradas Escrituras a los profetas de Dios.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: Así que has mencionado a Dios el Padre y al Espíritu Santo – ¿qué pasa con el Hijo?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: OK – pero necesito retroceder un segundo y explicar cómo está organizada la Biblia.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El Antiguo Testamento constituye los primeros dos tercios de la Biblia y está compuesto por la Taurat, el Zabur y otros escritos de los profetas e historiadores de Dios que vivieron antes de Jesús.&nbsp; Fue escrito durante un período de más de tres mil años y entrelaza una imagen profética larga y detallada del Mesías, Jesús, quien librará a Israel y a toda la humanidad de su pecado. Desde la historia de Adán y Eva en el Jardín del Edén, hay una promesa de que un descendiente de Eva un día pisará la cabeza de la Serpiente, Satanás. Por ejemplo, 700 años antes de que naciera Jesús, el profeta Isaías escribió: “Por tanto, el Señor mismo os dará una señal: He aquí que la virgen concebirá y dará a luz un hijo, y le pondrá por nombre Emanuel” (Isa 7:9). Es fácil ver que esto debe referirse a Jesús, quien nació de la virgen María. Pero, Joy, ¿sabes qué significa el nombre Emanuel?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: No. ¿Qué significa?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Significa “Dios con nosotros”… Así que, cuando la virgen dé a luz un hijo, Isaías está diciendo que este hijo será “Dios con nosotros”. Puedes ver el problema. Esta escritura indica que Jesús será llamado tanto “un hijo” que al mismo tiempo es “Dios con nosotros”. Las profecías indican que el Mesías será Dios mismo y Jesús dice muchas cosas para identificarse como Dios. Por ejemplo, dice: “El que me ha visto a mí, ha visto al Padre.” (Juan 14:9) y también “Yo y el Padre uno somos.” (Juan 10:30). Jesús incluso aplica el nombre de Dios “YO SOY” a sí mismo en Juan 8:58.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Amani, ahora soy yo quien quiere retroceder un segundo. Nuestros amigos necesitan entender algo: Para tener una comprensión completa de lo que significa la Biblia, debemos leerla de manera diferente a como nos han enseñado a leer el Corán. A diferencia del Corán, ningún versículo de la Biblia se sostiene por sí solo. Es toda la Biblia en conjunto la que construye una imagen completa de quién es Dios. Todos los versículos de la Biblia tienen que ser verdaderos al mismo tiempo. No hay abrogación. Así que, te enfrentas a un problema. La Biblia dice que el Padre es Dios. Y dice que el Espíritu Santo es Dios y dice que Jesús es Dios, pero también dice que Dios es Uno. Para que toda la Biblia sea verdadera al mismo tiempo, el Dios Único debe tener tres Personas.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: ¿Pero Dios teniendo un hijo? Esto es muy extraño para los oídos de un musulmán, especialmente porque el Corán dice una y otra vez que Dios no tiene un hijo. ¿Significa eso que Dios también tiene una esposa?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Bueno, si piensas en términos humanos, podrías asumir algo terrible como eso. Algunos musulmanes afirman erróneamente que los cristianos creen esto, pero no es verdad. Los cristianos creen que Dios siempre, desde la eternidad pasada, ha tenido una relación con Jesucristo que es como una relación padre-hijo. Pero esto no implica que haya nada desagradable en cómo María quedó embarazada. La Biblia simplemente enseña que Dios colocó al niño Jesucristo en el vientre de María milagrosamente sin la intervención de ningún ser humano.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy:&nbsp; Hay algo más que encontré confuso. He oído que los cristianos dicen “Jesús murió por tus pecados”. ¿Por qué la muerte de Jesús debería estar conectada con el perdón de Dios? Si Dios quería perdonar, ¿por qué no simplemente perdonaría? Después de todo, Él dice “Sea” y es. ¿Por qué la muerte de Jesús sería necesaria para mi perdón?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Joy, esto vuelve a una de nuestras preguntas anteriores: “¿Cómo puedo estar seguro de que mis pecados serán perdonados en el Día del Juicio?” El Corán es muy claro. Dice repetidamente “Ningún hombre puede llevar las cargas de otro hombre”. Cada hombre y mujer es responsable de su propio pecado y debe llevar el castigo, o tal vez, equilibrarlo con buenas obras. Pero esto no es lo que la Biblia enseña sobre el pecado. Cuando Adán y Eva pecaron, la Biblia enseña que se dieron cuenta de que estaban desnudos, tanto en un sentido físico como en un sentido espiritual. La escritura explica que a causa del pecado, estaban condenados a la muerte física y a la separación permanente de Dios en el infierno.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Adán y Eva se sintieron avergonzados de lo que habían hecho y estaban arrepentidos, así que Dios los vistió con la piel de un animal (Gén 3:21) para cubrir su vergüenza. Para lograr esto, Dios tuvo que matar a un animal. Más tarde, Dios explica que para que el pecado sea perdonado (Heb 9:22), debe ocurrir un sacrificio: algo debe morir. Esta es la razón por la que el sacrificio de animales por el pecado era requerido en la ley que Moisés trajo de Dios.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pero es importante entender que estos sacrificios de animales eran solo un anticipo del plan verdadero de Dios para el perdón y la restauración del hombre a la amistad con Él. Verás, Juan el Bautista, Yehya, llamó a Jesús “el Cordero de Dios que quita el pecado del mundo”. Lo que estaba diciendo era que Jesús iba a llevar las cargas no solo de un hombre, sino de todos los hombres. Porque Jesús vivió una vida sin pecado, podía actuar como un sacrificio, un Cordero si quieres, suficiente para cubrir los pecados de todos los hombres que jamás vivieron, si estaban dispuestos a aceptar esta oferta y a seguirlo.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Así que, de hecho, es realmente cierto que ningún hombre ordinario puede llevar las cargas de otro hombre. Se necesita un hombre extraordinario, un hombre perfecto, un Hombre Divino para poder llevar las cargas de otro hombre. Esta es la razón por la que Jesús vino a la Tierra, para morir en nuestro lugar para que Dios pudiera perdonar nuestros pecados.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: ¿Qué pasa con las buenas obras? ¿Son entonces inútiles?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Bueno, no nos ayudan a lograr la salvación. Dios es completamente santo y dice que incluso nuestros mejores esfuerzos son como “trapos inmundos” delante de él (Isaías 64:6).&nbsp; Sin embargo, las buenas obras son una ofrenda de gratitud que le damos a Dios por el perdón que nos garantiza a través de la muerte de Jesús en nuestro lugar.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: Pero el Corán enseña que Jesús no murió, sino que solo pareció que lo hacía.\u003C\u002Fp>Amani: Pero eso no es lo que enseña la Biblia en absoluto, Joy. La Biblia dice que Dios eligió venir a la Tierra en forma humana, en la persona de Jesucristo. Y enseña que vino con una misión muy específica: morir por los pecadores en la cruz—ser crucificado. Historiadores antiguos que no eran cristianos y ni siquiera les gustaba el cristianismo escriben sobre la crucifixión de Jesús como un hecho simple.&nbsp; Josefo, un historiador judío que escribió en el primer siglo, escribió en el año 93 d.C. en sus Antigüedades de los judíos: “Pilato condenó [a Jesús] a ser crucificado y a morir”.&nbsp; No solo eso, sino que los muchos relatos de los primeros cristianos, las personas que eran amigos y contemporáneos de Jesús, indican que Jesús murió. Los cuatro relatos históricos separados del Evangelio afirman claramente esto como un hecho. ¿Por qué se da tanto crédito a un solo hombre, Mahoma, que vivió 600 años después de Jesús, cuando afirma que Jesús no murió? ¿Tiene sentido creer a los testigos presenciales de un evento o creer a alguien que nació seis siglos después? Tal vez haya algo muy importante sobre la crucifixión que alguien estaba tratando de deshacer.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike:&nbsp; Creo que sí, Amani. Verás, Satanás sabe que el poder del mensaje de Jesús está en la comprensión de que no podemos salvarnos de nuestro propio pecado—y que nuestro pecado debe ser puesto sobre Jesucristo. Si se puede engañar a hombres y mujeres para que crean que la crucifixión no ocurrió, entonces seguirán intentando desesperadamente ganarse el cielo con sus obras. No sabrán que pueden recibir su perdón porque Jesús ya pagó el precio por ellos.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: ¿Pero por qué haría Jesús esto por nosotros?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: Jesús no fue una víctima indefensa de las intrigas judías o de la tortura romana, sino que voluntariamente entregó Su vida. (Juan 10:11, 18). La Biblia nos dice que Jesús “se entregó por nuestros pecados” (Gálatas 1:3) porque “nos amó” (Gálatas 2:20).&nbsp; El mismo Jesús dijo: “nadie tiene mayor amor que este, que uno ponga su vida por sus amigos” (Juan 15:13).&nbsp; Por amor a nosotros, Jesús voluntariamente entregó su propia vida para que pudiéramos ser salvos de nuestros pecados.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani:&nbsp; Y no solo eso, la Biblia nos dice que Jesús murió por nuestros pecados y resucitó de entre los muertos—lo cual demuestra claramente el poder de Dios sobre el pecado y la muerte. Por eso la Biblia dice: “Si confiesas con tu boca que Jesús es el Señor y crees en tu corazón que Dios lo resucitó de entre los muertos, serás salvo” (Romanos 10:9-10).&nbsp; Esta es una promesa de Dios para nosotros.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike:&nbsp; Así es, Amani. La palabra inglesa “gospel” significa “buenas nuevas” y la buena nueva es que podemos saber lo que nos sucederá en el Día del Juicio porque “hemos sido salvos por gracia, . . . es don de Dios, no por obras, para que nadie se gloríe” (Efesios 2:8-9).&nbsp; Esta es una diferencia importante entre el cristianismo y no solo el islam, sino todas las demás religiones.&nbsp; Piensa en esto: si la salvación se basa en lo que debemos hacer, nunca podremos estar seguros de haber hecho lo suficiente para ser salvos.&nbsp; Pero como la salvación no se basa en nuestra fidelidad o esfuerzo, sino en lo que Jesús amorosamente hizo por nosotros al elegir morir y resucitar, Él nos promete vida eterna (Juan 5:24, 1 Juan 2:25).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: Y por eso dejé el islam para seguir a Jesús—cómo podría rechazar una oferta así de Dios si Él murió en mi lugar. Fue una decisión muy difícil.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>","\n\nEst-ce que l'islam est correct?","\u003Cp>Joy : Comment puis-je être sûre que ma vie plaît à Dieu ? Comment puis-je être sûre que j’irai au paradis ? Dieu favorise-t-il les hommes par rapport aux femmes ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Bonjour. Je m’appelle Joy et j’ai grandi dans une famille musulmane. Ce sont là quelques-unes des nombreuses questions spirituelles que je me posais en grandissant dans l’islam. Il m’a été assez difficile de trouver des réponses, mais après beaucoup de luttes, j’ai découvert qu’il y en avait.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Peut-être avez-vous été confronté aux mêmes questions. Aujourd’hui, je veux vous aider à trouver des réponses à vos questions spirituelles. Laissez-moi d’abord vous présenter deux de mes amis – Mike et Amani – qui sont tous deux experts sur le sujet de l’islam. Mike est issu d’un milieu chiite et Amani d’un milieu sunnite.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Alors Mike, commençons par cette première question : « Comment puis-je être sûr que je plais à Dieu ? »\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : Merci Joy. Comme tu le sais, l’islam est une religion des œuvres et il n’y a aucune garantie de salut. L’islam enseigne que nos actes dans la vie sont enregistrés — les bons comme les mauvais — et que, le jour du Qiyamah ou du Jugement, nos bonnes et mauvaises actions seront pesées les unes contre les autres. Si les bonnes actions l’emportent sur les mauvaises, alors peut-être nous sera-t-il permis d’entrer au paradis, si Allah le veut.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani : Oui, c’est exact Mike. Quand j’étais musulmane, cette anxiété concernant mon avenir spirituel me laissait souvent avec le sentiment que je n’étais jamais assez bien pour Dieu. Même avec toutes mes tentatives pour accumuler des bonnes œuvres, je sentais encore que je n’étais pas à la hauteur de Ses normes. [à l’écran] Avez-vous déjà eu l’impression que rien ne serait assez bien pour un Dieu parfait ? Je sais que beaucoup de mes amis musulmans partageaient ces sentiments. D’une certaine manière, nous savions que même si nous accomplissions tous nos devoirs religieux : la prière, l’aumône, le jeûne, le hajj, cela ne suffisait pas pour supporter Son jugement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Je comprends ce que tu veux dire Amani. J’avais aussi l’impression que je ne pourrais jamais être à la hauteur et n’aurais jamais de relation avec Dieu. Peut-être pourrais-je comprendre Dieu à travers le Coran et Le connaître, mais je ne pourrais jamais L’atteindre. Il était tout simplement trop éloigné.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani : Oui, Joy, et ces sentiments étaient particulièrement difficiles pour moi en tant que femme musulmane. Après tout, si le prophète disait qu’il y avait bien plus de femmes en enfer que d’hommes, alors ma situation semblait plutôt sombre.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : C’est pourquoi aujourd’hui Amani et moi voulons parler de notre parcours spirituel pour connaître Jésus-Christ et apprendre ce que la Bible dit vraiment de Lui. Nous voulons vous raconter l’histoire de la bonne nouvelle de Dieu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Mais Mike, comment pouvons-nous recevoir une quelconque nouvelle de la Bible ? On m’a toujours appris que la Bible était corrompue et que les chrétiens avaient trois dieux.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : Bien sûr qu’on te l’a dit. Tous les musulmans l’entendent. Mais, à l’époque, t’es-tu déjà demandé où elle avait été corrompue et par qui ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Tu sais quoi ? C’est une bonne remarque. Je n’ai pas posé cette question parce qu’on m’avait appris à ne pas remettre en question mes enseignants.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : Exactement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Mais c’est une excellente question, alors y a-t-il une réponse ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : Joy, nous devons commencer par examiner quelques faits de base. Sais-tu combien de manuscrits du Nouveau Testament (« L’Injil ») les chercheurs possèdent ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Non, pas comme ça, non.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : Eh bien, il existe plus de 5 600 copies manuscrites du Nouveau Testament écrites dans la langue originale, le grec. En plus de ces copies grecques, il y a plus de 19 000 copies manuscrites du Nouveau Testament grec dans les langues araméenne, syriaque, latine et copte. Cela signifie que nous disposons de 24 000 copies du Nouveau Testament, provenant de tout le Moyen-Orient et de différents groupes de personnes. Cela signifie qu’il n’y avait pas une seule personne contrôlant ces milliers de manuscrits. Les musulmans enseignent que la Bible a été modifiée, mais il semble qu’ils n’aient pas considéré le problème que pose cette idée : pour introduire délibérément un changement, il faudrait contrôler des scribes sur une vaste zone géographique et le faire simultanément dans plusieurs langues. C’est tout simplement impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Or, le simple fait d’avoir 25 000 copies ne signifie pas que vous savez ce que disait l’original, mais cela permet de comparer tous les manuscrits et de s’assurer que le message est cohérent et correctement transmis dans les copies modernes de la Bible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Mais je n’ai pas accès à ces manuscrits et je ne connais d’ailleurs aucune de ces langues. Quelle assurance peux-tu me donner que ce que tu dis est correct ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : Et si tu pouvais regarder un manuscrit biblique vieux de 1 700 ans et comparer le message à la Bible que tu trouves sur l’étagère de la librairie ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Alors, comment puis-je faire cela ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : Il existe une Bible complète datant de 300 ans avant la naissance de Mahomet que l’on peut consulter en ligne. Ce manuscrit s’appelle le Codex Sinaiticus (codexsinaiticus.org) et chaque page est photographiée, chaque lettre transcrite et chaque phrase traduite. N’importe qui peut lire la traduction et confirmer que le contenu de cette Bible vieille de 1 700 ans est le même que celui de la Bible que vous pouvez acheter en librairie. Choisissez n’importe quel passage. Lisez la traduction vous-même, puis comparez-la à n’importe quelle Bible en ligne. Prenez les versets 1 et 2 de l’Évangile de Jean. Allez voir par vous-même. Vous verrez que le message n’a pas été altéré.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Mais y a-t-il des différences entre les 25 000 copies du Nouveau Testament ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : Bien sûr, il y a des différences, mais comme l’écrit le spécialiste biblique Norman Geisler, la cohérence interne entre les copies de la Bible est supérieure à 99,5 %. Lorsque des centaines de personnes copient à la main un livre entier 25 000 fois, quelques erreurs de transcription sont attendues, mais les changements n’altèrent pas le sens du livre ni le message du livre. N’importe qui peut aller vérifier cela par lui-même.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>Joy : Mais on m’a toujours dit que le Coran ne comportait même pas ces petites altérations. On m’a dit que chaque exemplaire du Coran dans le monde était à 100 % identique. On m’a enseigné que le livre de Dieu devait être parfait.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani : As-tu jamais vérifié cette affirmation selon laquelle tous les exemplaires du Coran sont identiques ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Non.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani : Moi non plus. J’ai simplement cru ce qu’on m’avait dit. Le problème, c’est que je croyais un mensonge.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pour commencer, je te conseille de regarder un débat entre deux spécialistes — un musulman et un chrétien. Le spécialiste musulman est Shabir Ally de l’Université de Toronto au Canada, et le second est Jay Smith, un célèbre débatteur chrétien qui vit en Angleterre. Si tu prends le temps de regarder la vidéo, tu verras que Jay fait référence à de nombreuses modifications connues dans des copies du Coran appelées le manuscrit de Topkapi (en Turquie), le Kufique de Samarcande (en Ouzbékistan), le Codex Parisino-petropolitanus (à Paris) et le manuscrit Ma’il (en Grande-Bretagne).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mais concentrons-nous sur l’un des ensembles de manuscrits dont parle Jay : les manuscrits de Sanaa. En 1972, un groupe de manuscrits coraniques a été découvert à la Grande Mosquée de Sanaa au Yémen. Ces manuscrits comptent parmi les plus anciens existants, datant d’avant 671 apr. J.-C., et ce sont ce qu’on appelle des « palimpsestes ». C’est simplement un grand mot pour désigner un manuscrit recyclé : on lave l’ancien texte et on écrit par-dessus. Les matériaux d’écriture étaient chers, tu vois.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dans le cas des manuscrits de Sanaa, on voit très clairement que l’ancien texte du Coran, effacé mais encore visible, était différent du texte uthmanien traditionnel. L’existence même de ces nombreuses variantes de mots signifie que tous les Corans ne sont pas totalement identiques — un fait largement reconnu par les universitaires et les professeurs d’études islamiques. Mais ces informations ont été cachées aux gens ordinaires, probablement parce qu’elles vont à l’encontre de ce que la plupart des musulmans ont appris.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : Mais pourquoi penserions-nous que tous les exemplaires du Coran devraient être identiques ? Le Hadith nous dit qu’Uthman a rassemblé les fragments du Coran écrits sur de petits morceaux de parchemin, de papyrus, de pierres et d’os de chameau. Il existe même une tradition d’Aïcha selon laquelle une chèvre aurait mangé un verset qui a été perdu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Un autre problème est que les premières copies du Coran ne comportaient pas de signes diacritiques, ce qui signifie qu’un même mot peut avoir plusieurs sens en arabe, comme tout locuteur arabe le sait. Je croyais autrefois qu’il n’y avait aucune controverse sur le contenu du Coran. Pourtant, une brève enquête montre que les manuscrits du Coran n’ont pas été copiés parfaitement. Quiconque prend le temps d’approfondir cette question constatera que ce que nous disons ici est vrai. Si tu veux voir d’autres vidéos qui expliquent cela, suis les liens que nous avons fournis ci-dessous.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tu vois donc, Joy, que les documents originaux du Coran ne sont pas différents de la Bible. Cependant, la différence est que nous possédons encore des dizaines de milliers d’anciennes copies manuscrites de la Bible, ce qui permet de comparer les textes et de repérer et corriger les petites erreurs de copie. Cela nous permet en réalité d’être sûrs de connaître le texte original. Évidemment, ce genre d’étude n’est pas possible avec le Coran, puisque ses premières copies ont été délibérément détruites et que nous ne les avons plus.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : D’accord — donc, supposons que j’accepte ces arguments. J’aurais quand même un gros problème. Tu vois, on m’a toujours enseigné que les chrétiens avaient trois dieux — ils appellent cela une « Trinité » — le Père, le Fils et le Saint-Esprit. Cela me semblait très étrange. Les chrétiens disent qu’ils adorent un seul Dieu, mais ensuite ils parlent de Dieu comme s’il était trois. Les chrétiens adorent-ils trois dieux ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani : C’est une excellente question, Joy, et il est facile d’avoir cette idée fausse en lisant le Coran. Mais quand je posais ce genre de questions difficiles à mon imam, il répondait : « Tu ne devrais pas tant réfléchir. Tu n’es qu’une femme. » Or le Dieu de la Bible a eu des prophétesses, donc je suis sûre qu’il est bon, tant pour les femmes que pour les hommes, de poser toutes les questions qu’ils veulent. L’enseignement biblique sur la Trinité n’est pas, et n’a jamais été, qu’il y a trois dieux de puissance égale. Le terme « Trinité » est simplement une description de ce que nous pouvons lire dans la Bible au sujet du Dieu unique et véritable.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Mais tout le monde peut comprendre pourquoi c’est déroutant. Comment trois peuvent-ils être un ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani : Joy, tu as raison. Cela ne semble pas avoir de sens, mais c’est bien ce que la Bible enseigne. La Bible dit : « Écoute, Israël : l’Éternel, notre Dieu, est le seul Éternel. Tu aimeras l’Éternel, ton Dieu, de tout ton cœur, de toute ton âme et de toute ta force. » (Deut 6:4-5). Les chrétiens croient que Dieu est Un et que son unicité est affirmée à maintes reprises dans toute la Bible (Rom 3:20, 1 Cor 8:6, Eph 4:6, 1 Tim 2:5, Jacques 2:19).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>D’un point de vue musulman, une source de confusion est le terme « Esprit de Dieu » ou « Saint-Esprit ». En arabe, quand nous disons الروح القدس, beaucoup de musulmans pensent que cela désigne l’ange Gabriel. Mais les chrétiens croient que l’Esprit de Dieu est littéralement l’Esprit de Dieu. Les chrétiens ne croient pas que l’Esprit de Dieu soit moins Dieu que Dieu lui-même. En fait, Jésus dit : « Dieu est Esprit, et il faut que ceux qui l’adorent l’adorent en esprit et en vérité. » (Jean 4:24). C’est l’Esprit de Dieu qui a inspiré les Saintes Écritures aux prophètes de Dieu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Tu as donc mentionné Dieu le Père et le Saint-Esprit — qu’en est-il du Fils ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani : D’accord — mais je dois revenir un instant en arrière et expliquer comment la Bible est structurée.\u003C\u002Fp>L'Ancien Testament constitue les deux premiers tiers de la Bible et est composé de la Taurat, du Zabur et d'autres écrits des prophètes et historiens de Dieu qui ont vécu avant Jésus.&nbsp; Il a été écrit sur une période de plus de trois mille ans et tisse une image prophétique longue et détaillée du Messie, Jésus, qui délivrera Israël et toute l'humanité de leur péché. Dès l'histoire d'Adam et Ève dans le Jardin d'Éden, il y a une promesse qu'un descendant d'Ève un jour écrasera la tête du Serpent, Satan. Par exemple, 700 ans avant la naissance de Jésus, le prophète Isaïe a écrit : « C'est pourquoi le Seigneur lui-même vous donnera un signe : La vierge concevra et enfantera un fils, et on l'appellera Emmanuel » (Ésa 7:9). Il est facile de voir que cela doit parler de Jésus qui est né de la vierge Marie. Mais, Joy, sais-tu ce que signifie le nom Emmanuel ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Non. Que signifie-t-il ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani : Cela signifie « Dieu avec nous »… Donc, quand la vierge enfante un fils, Isaïe dit que ce fils sera « Dieu avec nous ». On peut voir le problème. Cette Écriture indique que Jésus sera appelé à la fois « un fils » qui est en même temps « Dieu avec nous ». Les prophéties indiquent que le Messie sera Dieu Lui-même et Jésus dit beaucoup de choses pour s'identifier comme Dieu. Par exemple, il dit : « Celui qui m'a vu a vu le Père. » (Jean 14:9) et aussi « Moi et le Père sommes un. » (Jean 10:30). Jésus applique même le nom de Dieu « JE SUIS » à lui-même dans Jean 8:58.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : Amani, maintenant c'est moi qui veux qu'on recule un instant. Nos amis doivent comprendre quelque chose : Pour avoir une compréhension complète de ce que la Bible signifie, nous devons la lire différemment de ce qu'on nous a appris à lire le Coran. Contrairement au Coran, aucun verset de la Bible ne se tient par lui-même. C'est toute la Bible ensemble qui construit une image complète de qui est Dieu. Tous les versets de la Bible doivent être vrais en même temps. Il n'y a pas d'abrogation. Donc, vous êtes confrontés à un problème. La Bible dit que le Père est Dieu. Et elle dit que le Saint-Esprit est Dieu et elle dit que Jésus est Dieu mais elle dit aussi que Dieu est Un. Pour que toute la Bible soit vraie en même temps, le Dieu Unique doit avoir trois Personnes.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Mais Dieu ayant un fils ? C'est très étrange aux oreilles d'un musulman—surtout puisque le Coran dit à maintes reprises que Dieu n'a pas de fils. Cela signifie-t-il que Dieu a aussi une femme ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani : Eh bien si vous pensez en termes humains, vous pourriez supposer quelque chose de terrible comme cela. Certains musulmans prétendent à tort que les chrétiens croient cela, mais ce n'est pas vrai. Les chrétiens croient que Dieu a toujours, depuis l'éternité passée, eu une relation avec Jésus-Christ qui est comme une relation père-fils. Mais cela n'implique pas qu'il y ait quelque chose de désagréable dans la façon dont Marie est tombée enceinte. La Bible enseigne simplement que Dieu a placé l'enfant Jésus-Christ dans le ventre de Marie de manière miraculeuse sans l'intervention d'aucun être humain.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Il y a autre chose que j'ai trouvé confus. J'ai entendu des chrétiens dire « Jésus est mort pour vos péchés ». Pourquoi la mort de Jésus devrait-elle être liée au pardon de Dieu ? Si Dieu voulait pardonner, pourquoi ne pardonnerait-il pas simplement ? Après tout, Il dit « Sois » et c'est. Pourquoi la mort de Jésus serait-elle requise pour mon pardon ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : Joy, cela revient en quelque sorte à l'une de nos questions précédentes : « Comment puis-je être sûr que mes péchés seront pardonnés le Jour du Jugement ? » Le Coran est très clair. Il dit à plusieurs reprises « Nul ne peut porter les fardeaux d'un autre ». Chaque homme et femme est responsable de son propre péché et doit porter la punition, ou peut-être, l'équilibrer avec de bonnes actions. Mais ce n'est pas ce que la Bible enseigne sur le péché. Quand Adam et Ève ont péché, la Bible enseigne qu'ils ont réalisé qu'ils étaient nus, à la fois dans un sens physique et dans un sens spirituel. L'Écriture explique qu'à cause du péché, ils étaient condamnés à la mort physique et à la séparation permanente de Dieu en enfer.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Adam et Ève se sont sentis honteux de ce qu'ils avaient fait et ils étaient désolés alors Dieu les a vêtus de la peau d'un animal (Gen 3:21) pour couvrir leur honte. Pour accomplir cela, Dieu a dû tuer un animal. Plus tard, Dieu explique que pour que le péché soit pardonné (Héb 9:22), un sacrifice doit avoir lieu : quelque chose doit mourir. C'est pourquoi le sacrifice animal pour le péché était requis dans la loi que Moïse a apportée de Dieu.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mais il est important de comprendre que ces sacrifices d'animaux n'étaient qu'une préfiguration du véritable plan de Dieu pour le pardon de l'homme et sa restauration dans l'amitié avec Lui. Vous voyez, Jean le Baptiste, Yehyah, a appelé Jésus « l'Agneau de Dieu qui ôte le péché du monde ». Ce qu'il disait, c'est que Jésus allait porter les fardeaux non pas d'un seul autre homme, mais de tous les hommes. Parce que Jésus a vécu une vie sans péché, il pouvait agir comme un sacrifice, un Agneau si vous voulez, suffisant pour couvrir les péchés de tous les hommes qui ont jamais vécu, s'ils étaient disposés à accepter cette offre et à le suivre.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Donc, en fait, il est vraiment vrai qu'aucun homme ordinaire ne peut porter les fardeaux d'un autre homme. Il faut un homme extraordinaire, un homme parfait, un Homme Divin pour pouvoir porter les fardeaux d'un autre homme. C'est pourquoi Jésus est venu sur Terre, pour mourir en notre nom afin que Dieu puisse pardonner nos péchés.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Et les bonnes actions ? Sont-elles alors sans valeur ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani : Eh bien, elles ne nous aident pas à obtenir le salut. Dieu est complètement saint et dit que même nos meilleurs efforts sont comme des « haillons souillés » devant lui (Ésaïe 64:6).&nbsp; Cependant, les bonnes actions sont une offrande de gratitude que nous donnons à Dieu à cause du pardon qu'il nous garantit par la mort de Jésus en notre nom.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Mais le Coran enseigne que Jésus n'est pas mort – mais que cela en avait seulement l'apparence.\u003C\u002Fp>Amani : Mais ce n’est pas du tout ce que la Bible enseigne, Joy. La Bible dit que Dieu a choisi de venir sur la Terre sous forme humaine, en la personne de Jésus-Christ. Et elle enseigne qu’il est venu pour une mission très précise : mourir pour les pécheurs sur la croix—être crucifié. Des historiens anciens qui n’étaient pas chrétiens et qui n’aimaient même pas le christianisme écrivent sur la crucifixion de Jésus comme d’un simple fait. &nbsp; Josèphe, un historien juif écrivant au premier siècle, a écrit en 93 apr. J.-C. dans ses Antiquités des Juifs : « Pilate le condamna à être crucifié et à mourir. » &nbsp; Non seulement cela, mais les nombreux récits des premiers chrétiens, les gens qui étaient les amis et les contemporains de Jésus, indiquent tous que Jésus est mort. Les quatre récits historiques distincts de l’Évangile affirment clairement cela comme un fait. Pourquoi accorde-t-on tant de crédit à un seul homme, Mahomet, qui a vécu 600 ans après Jésus, lorsqu’il affirme que Jésus n’est pas mort ? Est-il logique de croire les témoins oculaires d’un événement ou de croire quelqu’un qui est né six siècles plus tard ? Peut-être y avait-il quelque chose de très important à propos de la crucifixion que quelqu’un essayait d’annuler. &nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : &nbsp; Je pense qu’il y en a un, Amani. Tu vois, Satan sait que la puissance du message de Jésus réside dans la compréhension que nous ne pouvons pas nous sauver nous-mêmes de notre propre péché—et que notre péché doit être mis sur Jésus-Christ. Si les hommes et les femmes peuvent être trompés en croyant que la crucifixion n’a pas eu lieu, alors ils resteront désespérément à essayer de gagner leur place au ciel par leurs œuvres. Ils ne sauront pas qu’ils peuvent recevoir leur pardon parce que Jésus a déjà payé le prix pour eux. &nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Mais pourquoi Jésus ferait-il cela pour nous ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : Jésus n’était pas une victime impuissante des machinations juives ou de la torture romaine, mais il a volontairement donné sa vie. &nbsp; (Jean 10:11, 18). La Bible nous dit que Jésus « s’est donné lui-même pour nos péchés » (Galates 1:3) parce qu’« il nous a aimés » (Galates 2:20). &nbsp; Jésus lui-même a dit : « Il n’y a pas de plus grand amour que de donner sa vie pour ses amis » (Jean 15:13). &nbsp; Par amour pour nous, Jésus a volontairement donné sa propre vie afin que nous puissions être sauvés de nos péchés. &nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani : &nbsp; Et ce n’est pas tout, la Bible nous dit que Jésus est mort pour nos péchés et qu’il est ressuscité des morts—ce qui démontre clairement la puissance de Dieu sur le péché et la mort. C’est pourquoi la Bible dit : « Si tu confesses de ta bouche le Seigneur Jésus, et si tu crois dans ton cœur que Dieu l’a ressuscité des morts, tu seras sauvé » (Romains 10:9-10). &nbsp; C’est une promesse de Dieu pour nous. &nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : &nbsp; C’est exact, Amani. Le mot anglais « gospel » signifie « bonne nouvelle » et la bonne nouvelle est que nous pouvons savoir ce qui nous arrivera le Jour du Jugement parce que « c’est par la grâce que vous êtes sauvés, … c’est le don de Dieu, non par les œuvres, afin que personne ne se glorifie » (Éphésiens 2:8-9). &nbsp; C’est une différence majeure entre le christianisme et non seulement l’islam, mais toutes les autres religions. &nbsp; Pensez-y : si le salut est basé sur ce que nous devons faire, nous ne pouvons jamais être assurés d’avoir fait assez pour être sauvés. &nbsp; Mais parce que le salut n’est pas basé sur notre fidélité ou nos efforts, mais sur ce que Jésus a fait par amour pour nous en choisissant de mourir et de ressusciter, il nous promet la vie éternelle (Jean 5:24, 1Jean 2:25) ! &nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani : Et c’est pourquoi j’ai quitté l’islam pour suivre Jésus – comment pourrais-je rejeter une telle offre de Dieu s’il est mort pour moi. Ce fut une décision très difficile.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>","\u003Cp>Joy : Comment puis-je être sûre que ma vie plaît à Dieu ? Comment puis-je être sûre que j’irai au ciel ? Dieu favorise-t-il les hommes par rapport aux femmes ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Bonjour. Je m’appelle Joy et j’ai grandi dans une famille musulmane. C’étaient là quelques-unes des nombreuses questions spirituelles que je me posais en grandissant dans l’islam. Il m’a été assez difficile de trouver des réponses, mais après beaucoup de lutte, j’ai découvert qu’il y en avait.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Peut-être avez-vous été confronté aux mêmes questions. Aujourd’hui, je veux vous aider à trouver des réponses à vos questions spirituelles. Laissez-moi commencer par vous présenter deux amis à moi – Mike et Amani – tous deux experts sur le sujet de l’islam. Mike vient d’un milieu chiite et Amani d’un milieu sunnite.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Alors Mike, commençons par cette première question : « Comment puis-je être sûr que je plais à Dieu ? »\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : Merci Joy. Comme vous le savez, l’islam est une religion des œuvres et il n’y a aucune garantie de salut. L’islam enseigne que nos actes dans la vie sont enregistrés – les bons et les mauvais – et au Qiyamah ou Jour du Jugement, nos bonnes et mauvaises actions seront pesées les unes contre les autres. Si les bonnes actions l’emportent sur les mauvaises, alors peut-être nous sera-t-il permis d’entrer au paradis, si Allah le veut.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani : Oui, c’est exact Mike. Quand j’étais musulman, cette anxiété concernant mon avenir spirituel me laissait souvent avec le sentiment que je n’étais jamais assez bon pour Dieu. Même avec toutes mes tentatives pour accumuler de bonnes œuvres, je sentais encore que je ne répondais pas à Ses normes. [à l’écran] Avez-vous déjà eu l’impression que rien ne serait assez bon pour un Dieu parfait ? Je sais que beaucoup de mes amis musulmans partageaient ces sentiments. D’une certaine manière, nous savions que même si nous accomplissions tous nos devoirs religieux : prière, aumône, jeûne, le hajj, cela ne suffisait pas pour supporter Son jugement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Je comprends ce que vous voulez dire Amani. J’avais l’impression de ne jamais pouvoir être à la hauteur et de ne jamais avoir de relation avec Dieu. Peut-être pouvais-je comprendre Dieu à travers le Coran et en savoir sur Lui, mais je ne pouvais jamais L’atteindre. Il était simplement trop éloigné.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani : Oui, Joy, et ces sentiments étaient particulièrement difficiles pour moi en tant que femme musulmane. Après tout, si le prophète disait qu’il y avait beaucoup plus de femmes en enfer que d’hommes, alors ma situation semblait plutôt sombre.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : C’est pourquoi aujourd’hui Amani et moi voulons parler de notre parcours spirituel pour connaître Jésus-Christ et apprendre ce que la Bible dit vraiment de Lui. Nous voulons partager avec vous l’histoire de la bonne nouvelle de Dieu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Mais Mike, comment pouvons-nous obtenir une sorte de nouvelle de la Bible ? On m’a toujours appris que la Bible était corrompue et que les chrétiens ont trois dieux.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : Bien sûr qu’on vous l’a dit. Tous les musulmans l’entendent. Mais, à l’époque, vous êtes-vous déjà arrêté pour vous demander où elle avait été corrompue et par qui ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Vous savez quoi ? C’est un bon point. Je n’ai pas posé cette question parce qu’on m’a appris à ne pas remettre en question mes enseignants.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : Exactement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Mais c’est une excellente question, alors y a-t-il une réponse ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : Joy, nous devons commencer par examiner quelques faits de base. Savez-vous combien de manuscrits du Nouveau Testament (« L’Injil ») les chercheurs possèdent ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Non, pas comme ça, non.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : Eh bien, il existe plus de 5 600 copies manuscrites du Nouveau Testament écrites dans la langue originale, le grec. En plus de ces copies grecques, il y a plus de 19 000 copies manuscrites du Nouveau Testament grec dans les langues araméenne, syriaque, latine et copte. Cela signifie que nous disposons de 24 000 copies du Nouveau Testament, provenant de tout le Moyen-Orient et de différents groupes de personnes. Cela signifie qu’il n’y avait pas une seule personne contrôlant tous ces milliers de manuscrits. Les musulmans enseignent que la Bible a été modifiée, mais il semble qu’ils n’aient pas considéré le problème que pose cette idée : pour introduire délibérément un changement, il faudrait contrôler des scribes sur une vaste zone géographique et le faire simultanément dans plusieurs langues. C’est tout simplement impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Maintenant, avoir simplement 25 000 copies ne signifie pas que vous savez ce que disait la copie originale, mais cela permet de comparer tous les manuscrits et de s’assurer que le message est cohérent et correctement transmis dans les copies modernes de la Bible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Mais je n’ai pas accès à ces manuscrits et je ne connais aucune de ces langues de toute façon. Quelle assurance pouvez-vous me donner que ce que vous dites est correct ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : Et si vous pouviez regarder un manuscrit biblique vieux de 1 700 ans et comparer le message à la Bible sur l’étagère de la librairie ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Alors, comment puis-je faire cela ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : Il existe une Bible complète datant de 300 ans avant la naissance de Mahomet qui peut être consultée en ligne. Ce manuscrit s’appelle le Codex Sinaiticus (codexsinaiticus.org) et chaque page est photographiée, chaque lettre transcrite et chaque phrase traduite. N’importe qui peut lire la traduction et confirmer que le contenu de cette Bible vieille de 1 700 ans est le même que celui de la Bible que vous pouvez acheter en librairie. Choisissez n’importe quel passage qui vous plaît. Lisez la traduction vous-même, puis comparez-la à n’importe quelle Bible en ligne. Prenez l’Évangile de Jean, versets 1 et 2. Allez voir par vous-même. Vous verrez que le message n’a pas été altéré.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Mais y a-t-il des différences entre les 25 000 copies du Nouveau Testament ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : Bien sûr, bien sûr qu’il y a des différences, mais comme l’écrit le spécialiste biblique Norman Geisler, la cohérence interne entre les copies de la Bible est supérieure à 99,5 %. Lorsque des centaines de personnes copient à la main un livre entier 25 000 fois, quelques erreurs de transcription sont attendues, mais les changements n’altèrent pas le sens du livre ni le message du livre. N’importe qui peut aller vérifier cela par lui-même.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>Joy : Mais on m’a toujours dit que le Coran ne comportait même pas ces petites altérations. On m’a dit que tous les exemplaires du Coran dans le monde étaient identiques à 100 %. On m’a appris que le livre de Dieu devait être parfait.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani : As-tu déjà vérifié cette affirmation selon laquelle tous les exemplaires du Coran sont identiques ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Non.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani : Moi non plus. J’ai simplement cru ce qu’on m’avait dit. Le problème, c’est que je croyais un mensonge.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pour commencer, je te conseille de regarder un débat entre deux érudits — un musulman et un chrétien. L’érudit musulman est Shabir Ally de l’Université de Toronto au Canada, et le second est Jay Smith, un célèbre débatteur chrétien qui vit en Angleterre. Si tu prends le temps de regarder la vidéo, tu verras que Jay fait référence à de nombreuses modifications connues dans des copies du Coran telles que le manuscrit de Topkapi (en Turquie), le Kufique de Samarkand (en Ouzbékistan), le Codex Parisino-petropolitanus (à Paris) et le manuscrit Ma’il (en Grande-Bretagne).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mais concentrons-nous sur l’un des ensembles de manuscrits dont parle Jay : les manuscrits de Sanaa. En 1972, un groupe de manuscrits coraniques a été découvert à la Grande Mosquée de Sanaa au Yémen. Ces manuscrits comptent parmi les plus anciens existants, datant d’avant 671 apr. J.-C., et ce sont ce qu’on appelle des « palimpsestes ». C’est simplement un grand mot pour désigner un manuscrit recyclé : on effaçait l’ancien texte en le lavant pour écrire un nouveau. Les matériaux d’écriture étaient coûteux, tu vois.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dans le cas des manuscrits de Sanaa, on voit très clairement que l’ancien texte du Coran, qui a été recouvert mais reste visible, était différent du texte uthmanien traditionnel. L’existence même de ces nombreuses variantes de mots signifie que tous les Corans ne sont pas totalement identiques — un fait largement reconnu par les universitaires et les professeurs d’études islamiques. Mais ces informations ont été cachées aux laïcs, probablement parce qu’elles vont à l’encontre de ce que la plupart des musulmans ont appris.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike : Mais pourquoi penserions-nous que tous les exemplaires du Coran devraient être identiques ? Le hadith nous dit qu’Uthman a rassemblé les fragments du Coran écrits sur de petits morceaux de parchemin, de papyrus, de pierres et d’os de chameau. Il existe même une tradition d’Aïcha selon laquelle une chèvre aurait mangé un verset qui a été perdu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Un autre problème est que les premières copies du Coran n’avaient pas de signes diacritiques, ce qui signifie qu’un même mot peut avoir plusieurs sens en arabe, comme le sait tout locuteur arabe. Je croyais autrefois qu’il n’y avait aucune controverse sur le contenu du Coran. Pourtant, même une brève enquête montre que les manuscrits du Coran n’ont pas été copiés parfaitement. Quiconque prend le temps d’approfondir cette question constatera que ce que nous avons dit ici est vrai. Si tu veux voir d’autres vidéos qui expliquent cela, suis les liens que nous avons fournis ci-dessous.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tu vois donc, Joy, que les documents originaux du Coran ne diffèrent en rien de ceux de la Bible. Cependant, la différence est que nous possédons encore des dizaines de milliers d’anciennes copies manuscrites de la Bible, ce qui permet de comparer les textes et de repérer et corriger les erreurs mineures de copie. Cela nous permet en réalité d’être confiants quant à ce que disait l’original. Évidemment, ce genre d’étude n’est pas possible avec le Coran, car ses premières copies ont été délibérément détruites et nous ne les avons plus.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : D’accord — donc, supposons que j’accepte ces arguments. J’aurais encore un gros problème. Tu vois, on m’a toujours appris que les chrétiens avaient trois dieux — ils appelaient cela une « Trinité » : le Père, le Fils et le Saint-Esprit. Cela me semblait très étrange. Les chrétiens disent qu’ils adorent un seul Dieu, mais ensuite ils parlent de Dieu comme s’il était trois. Les chrétiens adorent-ils trois dieux ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani : C’est une excellente question, Joy, et il est facile d’avoir cette idée fausse en lisant le Coran. Mais quand je posais ce genre de questions difficiles à mon imam, il répondait : « Tu ne devrais pas tant réfléchir. Tu n’es qu’une femme. » Mais le Dieu de la Bible avait des prophétesses, donc je suis sûre qu’il est bon que les femmes comme les hommes posent toutes les questions qu’ils veulent. L’enseignement biblique sur la Trinité n’est pas, et n’a jamais été, qu’il y a trois dieux de puissance égale. Le terme « Trinité » est simplement une description de ce que nous pouvons lire dans la Bible au sujet du Dieu unique et véritable.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Mais tout le monde peut comprendre pourquoi c’est déroutant. Comment trois peuvent-ils être un ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani : Joy, tu as raison. Cela ne semble pas avoir de sens, mais c’est bien ce que la Bible enseigne. La Bible dit : « Écoute, Israël : l’Éternel, notre Dieu, est le seul Éternel. Tu aimeras l’Éternel, ton Dieu, de tout ton cœur, de toute ton âme et de toute ta force. » (Deutéronome 6:4-5). Les chrétiens croient que Dieu est Un et que son Unité est affirmée à maintes reprises dans toute la Bible (Romains 3:20, 1 Corinthiens 8:6, Éphésiens 4:6, 1 Timothée 2:5, Jacques 2:19).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>D’un point de vue musulman, une source de confusion est le terme « Esprit de Dieu » ou « Saint-Esprit ». En arabe, quand nous disons الروح القدس, beaucoup de musulmans pensent que cela désigne l’ange Gabriel. Mais les chrétiens croient que l’Esprit de Dieu est littéralement l’Esprit de Dieu. Les chrétiens ne croient pas que l’Esprit de Dieu soit moins Dieu que Dieu lui-même. En fait, Jésus dit : « Dieu est Esprit, et il faut que ceux qui l’adorent l’adorent en esprit et en vérité. » (Jean 4:24). C’est l’Esprit de Dieu qui a inspiré les Saintes Écritures aux prophètes de Dieu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy : Tu as donc mentionné Dieu le Père et le Saint-Esprit — et le Fils ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani : D’accord — mais je dois revenir un instant en arrière et expliquer comment la Bible est structurée.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>L'Ancien Testament constitue les deux premiers tiers de la Bible et est composé de la Taurat, du Zabur et d'autres écrits des prophètes et historiens de Dieu qui ont vécu avant Jésus.&nbsp; Il a été écrit sur une période de plus de trois mille ans et tisse une image prophétique longue et détaillée du Messie, Jésus, qui délivrera Israël et toute l'humanité de leur péché. Dès l'histoire d'Adam et Ève dans le Jardin d'Éden, il y a une promesse qu'un descendant d'Ève un jour écrasera la tête du Serpent, Satan. Par exemple, 700 ans avant la naissance de Jésus, le prophète Isaïe a écrit&nbsp;: «&nbsp;C'est pourquoi le Seigneur lui-même vous donnera un signe&nbsp;: La vierge concevra et enfantera un fils, et elle l'appellera Emmanuel&nbsp;» (Ésa 7:9). Il est facile de voir que cela doit parler de Jésus qui est né de la vierge Marie. Mais, Joy, sais-tu ce que signifie le nom Emmanuel&nbsp;?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy&nbsp;: Non. Que signifie-t-il&nbsp;?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani&nbsp;: Cela signifie «&nbsp;Dieu avec nous&nbsp;»… Donc, quand la vierge enfante un fils, Isaïe dit que ce fils sera «&nbsp;Dieu avec nous&nbsp;». Tu peux voir le problème. Cette Écriture indique que Jésus sera appelé à la fois «&nbsp;un fils&nbsp;» qui est en même temps «&nbsp;Dieu avec nous&nbsp;». Les prophéties indiquent que le Messie sera Dieu Lui-même et Jésus dit beaucoup de choses pour s'identifier comme Dieu. Par exemple, il dit&nbsp;: «&nbsp;Celui qui m'a vu a vu le Père.&nbsp;» (Jean 14:9) et aussi «&nbsp;Moi et le Père sommes un.&nbsp;» (Jean 10:30). Jésus applique même le nom de Dieu «&nbsp;JE SUIS&nbsp;» à lui-même dans Jean 8:58.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike&nbsp;: Amani, maintenant c'est moi qui veux qu'on recule un instant. Nos amis doivent comprendre quelque chose&nbsp;: Pour avoir une compréhension complète de ce que la Bible signifie, nous devons la lire différemment de ce qu'on nous a appris à lire le Coran. Contrairement au Coran, aucun verset de la Bible ne se tient seul. C'est toute la Bible ensemble qui construit une image complète de qui est Dieu. Tous les versets de la Bible doivent être vrais en même temps. Il n'y a pas d'abrogation. Donc, tu es confronté à un problème. La Bible dit que le Père est Dieu. Et elle dit que le Saint-Esprit est Dieu et elle dit que Jésus est Dieu mais elle dit aussi que Dieu est Un. Pour que toute la Bible soit vraie en même temps, le Dieu Unique doit avoir trois Personnes.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy&nbsp;: Mais Dieu ayant un fils&nbsp;? C'est très étrange aux oreilles d'un musulman—surtout puisque le Coran dit à plusieurs reprises que Dieu n'a pas de fils. Cela signifie-t-il que Dieu a aussi une femme&nbsp;?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani&nbsp;: Eh bien si tu penses en termes humains, tu pourrais supposer quelque chose de terrible comme cela. Certains musulmans affirment par erreur que les chrétiens croient cela, mais ce n'est pas vrai. Les chrétiens croient que Dieu a toujours, depuis l'éternité passée, eu une relation avec Jésus-Christ qui est comme une relation père-fils. Mais cela n'implique pas qu'il y ait quelque chose de déplaisant dans la façon dont Marie est tombée enceinte. La Bible enseigne simplement que Dieu a placé l'enfant Jésus-Christ dans le ventre de Marie miraculeusement sans l'intervention d'aucun être humain.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy&nbsp;:&nbsp; Il y a autre chose que j'ai trouvé confus. J'ai entendu des chrétiens dire «&nbsp;Jésus est mort pour vos péchés&nbsp;». Pourquoi la mort de Jésus devrait-elle être liée au pardon de Dieu&nbsp;? Si Dieu voulait pardonner, pourquoi ne pardonnerait-il pas simplement&nbsp;? Après tout, Il dit «&nbsp;Sois&nbsp;» et c'est. Pourquoi la mort de Jésus serait-elle requise pour mon pardon&nbsp;?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike&nbsp;: Joy, cela revient en quelque sorte à l'une de nos questions précédentes&nbsp;: «&nbsp;Comment puis-je être sûr que mes péchés seront pardonnés au Jour du Jugement&nbsp;?&nbsp;» Le Coran est très clair. Il dit à plusieurs reprises «&nbsp;Aucun homme ne peut porter les fardeaux d'un autre homme&nbsp;». Chaque homme et femme est responsable de son propre péché et doit porter la punition, ou peut-être, l'équilibrer avec de bonnes actions. Mais ce n'est pas ce que la Bible enseigne sur le péché. Quand Adam et Ève ont péché, la Bible enseigne qu'ils ont réalisé qu'ils étaient nus, à la fois dans un sens physique et dans un sens spirituel. L'Écriture explique qu'à cause du péché, ils étaient condamnés à la mort physique et à la séparation permanente de Dieu en enfer.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Adam et Ève se sont sentis honteux de ce qu'ils avaient fait et ils étaient désolés donc Dieu les a vêtus de la peau d'un animal (Gen 3:21) pour couvrir leur honte. Pour accomplir cela, Dieu a dû tuer un animal. Plus tard, Dieu explique que pour que le péché soit pardonné (Héb 9:22), un sacrifice doit avoir lieu&nbsp;: quelque chose doit mourir. C'est pourquoi le sacrifice animal pour le péché était requis dans la loi que Moïse a apportée de Dieu.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mais il est important de comprendre que ces sacrifices d'animaux n'étaient qu'une préfiguration du plan véritable de Dieu pour le pardon de l'homme et sa restauration dans l'amitié avec Lui. Tu vois, Jean le Baptiste, Yehyah, a appelé Jésus, «&nbsp;l'Agneau de Dieu qui ôte le péché du monde&nbsp;». Ce qu'il disait, c'était que Jésus allait porter les fardeaux non pas d'un seul autre homme, mais de tous les hommes. Parce que Jésus a vécu une vie sans péché, il pouvait agir comme un sacrifice, un Agneau si tu veux, suffisant pour couvrir les péchés de tous les hommes qui ont jamais vécu, s'ils étaient disposés à accepter cette offre et à le suivre.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Donc, en fait, il est effectivement vrai qu'aucun homme ordinaire ne peut porter les fardeaux d'un autre homme. Il faut un homme extraordinaire, un homme parfait, un Homme Divin pour pouvoir porter les fardeaux d'un autre homme. C'est pourquoi Jésus est venu sur Terre, pour mourir en notre nom afin que Dieu puisse pardonner nos péchés.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy&nbsp;: Et les bonnes actions&nbsp;? Sont-elles alors sans valeur&nbsp;?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani&nbsp;: Eh bien, elles ne nous aident pas à obtenir le salut. Dieu est complètement saint et dit que même nos meilleurs efforts sont comme des «&nbsp;haillons sales&nbsp;» devant lui (Ésaïe 64:6).&nbsp; Cependant, les bonnes actions sont une offrande de gratitude que nous donnons à Dieu à cause du pardon qu'il nous garantit par la mort de Jésus en notre nom.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy&nbsp;: Mais le Coran enseigne que Jésus n'est pas mort – mais que cela paraissait simplement ainsi.\u003C\u002Fp>Amani&nbsp;: Mais ce n’est pas du tout ce que la Bible enseigne, Joy. La Bible dit que Dieu a choisi de venir sur Terre sous forme humaine, en la personne de Jésus-Christ. Et elle enseigne qu’il est venu pour une mission très précise&nbsp;: mourir pour les pécheurs sur la croix—être crucifié. Des historiens anciens qui n’étaient pas chrétiens et n’aimaient même pas le christianisme écrivent sur la crucifixion de Jésus comme d’un fait établi.&nbsp; Josèphe, un historien juif écrivant au premier siècle, a écrit en 93 apr. J.-C. dans ses Antiquités des Juifs&nbsp;: «&nbsp;Pilate le condamna à être crucifié et à mourir.&nbsp;»&nbsp; Non seulement cela, mais les nombreux récits des premiers chrétiens, les gens qui étaient les amis et les contemporains de Jésus, indiquent tous que Jésus est mort. Les quatre récits historiques distincts de l’Évangile affirment clairement ce fait. Pourquoi accorde-t-on tant de crédit à un seul homme, Mahomet, qui a vécu 600 ans après Jésus, lorsqu’il affirme que Jésus n’est pas mort&nbsp;? Est-il logique de croire les témoins oculaires d’un événement ou de croire quelqu’un qui est né six siècles plus tard&nbsp;? Peut-être y a-t-il quelque chose de très important à propos de la crucifixion que quelqu’un essayait d’effacer.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike&nbsp;: Je pense que oui, Amani. Tu vois, Satan sait que la puissance du message de Jésus réside dans la compréhension que nous ne pouvons pas nous sauver nous-mêmes de notre propre péché—et que notre péché doit être mis sur Jésus-Christ. Si les hommes et les femmes peuvent être trompés en croyant que la crucifixion n’a pas eu lieu, alors ils resteront désespérément à essayer de mériter le ciel par leurs œuvres. Ils ne sauront pas qu’ils peuvent recevoir le pardon parce que Jésus a déjà payé le prix pour eux.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy&nbsp;: Mais pourquoi Jésus ferait-il cela pour nous&nbsp;?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike&nbsp;: Jésus n’était pas une victime impuissante des machinations juives ou de la torture romaine, mais il a volontairement donné sa vie. (Jean 10:11, 18). La Bible nous dit que Jésus «&nbsp;s’est donné lui-même pour nos péchés&nbsp;» (Galates 1:3) parce qu’«&nbsp;il nous a aimés&nbsp;» (Galates 2:20). Jésus lui-même a dit&nbsp;: «&nbsp;il n’y a pas de plus grand amour que de donner sa vie pour ses amis&nbsp;» (Jean 15:13). Par amour pour nous, Jésus a volontairement donné sa vie afin que nous puissions être sauvés de nos péchés.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani&nbsp;: Et ce n’est pas tout, la Bible nous dit que Jésus est mort pour nos péchés et qu’il est ressuscité d’entre les morts—ce qui démontre clairement la puissance de Dieu sur le péché et la mort. C’est pourquoi la Bible dit&nbsp;: «&nbsp;Si tu confesses de ta bouche le Seigneur Jésus, et si tu crois dans ton cœur que Dieu l’a ressuscité des morts, tu seras sauvé&nbsp;» (Romains 10:9-10). C’est une promesse de Dieu pour nous.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike&nbsp;: C’est exact, Amani. Le mot anglais «&nbsp;gospel&nbsp;» signifie «&nbsp;bonne nouvelle&nbsp;» et la bonne nouvelle est que nous pouvons savoir ce qui nous arrivera le Jour du Jugement parce que «&nbsp;nous sommes sauvés par la grâce, … c’est le don de Dieu, non par les œuvres, afin que personne ne se glorifie&nbsp;» (Éphésiens 2:8-9). C’est une différence majeure entre le christianisme et non seulement l’islam, mais toutes les autres religions.&nbsp; Pense à ceci&nbsp;: si le salut est basé sur ce que nous devons faire, nous ne pouvons jamais être assurés d’avoir fait assez pour être sauvés.&nbsp; Mais parce que le salut n’est pas basé sur notre fidélité ou nos efforts, mais sur ce que Jésus a fait par amour pour nous en choisissant de mourir et de ressusciter, il nous promet la vie éternelle (Jean 5:24, 1&nbsp;Jean 2:25)&nbsp;!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani&nbsp;: Et c’est pourquoi j’ai quitté l’islam pour suivre Jésus—comment pourrais-je rejeter une telle offre de Dieu s’il est mort pour moi. Ce fut une décision très difficile.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>","\n\n아이즈럼이 맞나요?","\u003Cp>Joy: 어떻게 하면 내 삶이 하나님을 기쁘시게 하는지 확신할 수 있을까요? &nbsp; 어떻게 하면 내가 천국에 갈 것이라고 확신할 수 있을까요? 하나님은 남성을 여성보다 더 선호하십니까?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>안녕하세요. 제 이름은 Joy이고 무슬림 가정에서 자랐습니다. 이슬람에서 자라면서 제가 가졌던 많은 영적 질문 중 일부였습니다. 답을 찾기가 꽤 어려웠지만 많은 노력 끝에 답이 있다는 것을 발견했습니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>아마도 여러분도 같은 질문들로 고민해 보셨을 것입니다. 오늘 저는 여러분이 영적 질문에 대한 답을 찾도록 돕고자 합니다.&nbsp; 먼저 제 두 친구인 Mike와 Amani를 소개하겠습니다. 둘 다 이슬람 주제의 전문가입니다.&nbsp; Mike는 Shia 배경 출신이고 Amani는 Sunni 배경 출신입니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike, 첫 번째 질문인 “어떻게 하면 내가 하나님을 기쁘시게 하는지 확신할 수 있을까요?”부터 시작해 보죠.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mike: 감사합니다 Joy. 아시다시피 이슬람은 행위의 종교이며 구원의 보장이 없습니다. 이슬람은 우리의 삶의 행위가 기록된다고 가르칩니다—선한 행위와 악한 행위 모두—그리고 부활의 날(Qiyamah)이나 심판의 날에 우리의 선행과 악행이 서로 저울질 될 것입니다. 만약 선행이 악행보다 무겁다면 알라의 뜻에 따라 천국에 들어갈 수 있을지도 모릅니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amani: 맞아요 Mike.&nbsp; 무슬림이었을 때, 제 영적 미래에 대한 불안은 종종 제가 하나님께 충분히 좋지 않다는 느낌을 갖게 했습니다. 선행을 쌓으려는 모든 노력에도 불구하고, 저는 여전히 그분의 기준에 미치지 못한다고 느꼈습니다.

\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>조이: 아니요. 무슨 뜻이에요? \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>아마니: “하나님이 우리와 함께 계신다”는 뜻이에요… 그래서 처녀가 아들을 낳을 때, 이사야는 이 아들이 “하나님이 우리와 함께 계신다”고 말하는 것입니다. 문제를 알겠죠. 이 성경 구절은 예수님이 “아들”이라고 불리면서 동시에 “하나님이 우리와 함께 계신다”는 것을 가리킵니다. 예언들은 메시아가 하나님이실 것이라고 말하며, 예수님은 자신을 하나님으로 밝히는 말씀을 많이 하십니다. 예를 들어, “나를 본 자는 아버지를 보았느니라” (요 14:9)라고 하시고, 또 “나와 아버지는 하나이니라” (요 10:30)고 하십니다. 예수님은 요한복음 8:58에서 하나님의 이름 “나는 스스로 있는 자”를 자신에게 적용하기도 하십니다.&nbsp; \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>마이크: 아마니, 이제 내가 잠깐 되돌아가고 싶어요. 우리 친구들은 이것을 이해해야 해요: 성경의 의미를 완전히 이해하려면, 꾸란을 읽는 방식과 다르게 읽어야 합니다. 꾸란과 달리, 성경의 어떤 구절도 그 자체로 존재하지 않습니다. 성경 전체가 함께 하나님에 대한 완전한 그림을 그려냅니다. 성경의 모든 구절은 동시에 참이어야 합니다. 폐지란 없습니다. 그래서 문제가 생깁니다. 성경은 아버지가 하나님이시라고 말합니다. 그리고 성령이 하나님이시라고 말하며, 예수님이 하나님이시라고 말하지만, 하나님은 한 분이시라고도 말합니다. 성경 전체가 동시에 참이려면, 한 분 하나님이 세 위격을 가져야 합니다.&nbsp; \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>조이: 그런데 하나님이 아들을 가지신다고요? 이것은 무슬림의 귀에는 매우 이상하게 들려요—특히 꾸란이 하나님은 아들을 두지 않는다고 반복해서 말하기 때문이죠. 그렇다면 하나님에게도 아내가 있다는 뜻인가요? \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>아마니: 만약 인간적인 관점으로 생각한다면, 그런 끔찍한 것을 상상할 수도 있겠죠. 일부 무슬림들은 기독교인들이 그렇게 믿는다고 잘못 주장하지만, 그것은 사실이 아닙니다. 기독교인들은 하나님이 영원 전부터 예수 그리스도와 아버지-아들 관계와 같은 관계를 가져왔다고 믿습니다. 하지만 이것이 마리아가 임신한 방식에 대해 불쾌한 것이 있다는 것을 의미하지는 않습니다. 성경은 단순히 하나님이 어떤 인간의 개입 없이 기적적으로 아이 예수 그리스도를 마리아의 자궁에 두셨다고 가르칩니다.&nbsp; \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>조이:&nbsp; 또 다른 혼란스러운 점이 있어요. 기독교인들이 “예수님이 당신의 죄를 위해 죽으셨다”고 말하는 것을 들었어요. 왜 예수님의 죽음이 하나님의 용서와 연결되어야 하죠? 하나님이 용서하고 싶으시다면, 그냥 용서하시면 되지 않나요? 결국, 하나님은 “있으라” 하시면 그대로 됩니다. 왜 제 용서를 위해 예수님의 죽음이 필요한가요? \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>마이크: 조이, 이것은 우리가 앞서 했던 질문 중 하나로 돌아가게 해요: “심판의 날에 내 죄가 용서받을 것이라고 어떻게 확신할 수 있나요?” 꾸란은 매우 명확합니다. “아무도 다른 사람의 짐을 질 수 없다”고 반복해서 말합니다. 모든 남자와 여자는 자신의 죄에 대해 책임이 있으며, 형벌을 받거나 선행으로 균형을 맞춰야 합니다. 하지만 이것은 성경이 죄에 대해 가르치는 바가 아닙니다. 아담과 하와가 죄를 지었을 때, 성경은 그들이 육체적으로나 영적으로 벌거벗었음을 깨달았다고 가르칩니다. 성경은 죄 때문에 그들이 육체적 죽음과 지옥에서 하나님과의 영원한 분리에 처하게 되었다고 설명합니다.&nbsp; \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>아담과 하와는 자신들이 한 일에 대해 부끄러워했고 미안해했기 때문에, 하나님은 그들의 부끄러움을 가리기 위해 동물의 가죽으로 그들을 옷 입히셨습니다 (창 3:21). 이를 위해 하나님은 동물을 죽이셔야 했습니다. 나중에 하나님은 죄를 용서받기 위해서는 (히 9:22) 희생이 있어야 한다고 설명하십니다. 무언가가 죽어야 합니다. 이것이 바로 모세가 하나님으로부터 받아온 율법에서 죄를 위한 동물 희생이 요구된 이유입니다.&nbsp; \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>하지만 이 동물 희생들은 인간의 용서와 하나님과의 우정 회복을 위한 하나님의 진정한 계획을 미리 보여주는 것일 뿐이라는 것을 이해하는 것이 중요합니다. 세례 요한, 즉 야햐는 예수님을 “세상 죄를 지고 가는 하나님의 어린 양”이라고 불렀습니다. 그가 말하고자 한 것은 예수님이 한 사람이 아닌 모든 사람의 짐을 지실 것이라는 것이었습니다. 예수님은 죄 없는 삶을 사셨기 때문에, 모든 사람이 기꺼이 이 제안을 받아들이고 그분을 따를 경우, 모든 사람의 죄를 덮기에 충분한 희생, 즉 어린 양이 되실 수 있었습니다.&nbsp;&nbsp; \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>그래서 사실, 평범한 사람은 다른 사람의 짐을 질 수 없다는 것은 사실입니다. 다른 사람의 짐을 질 수 있는 것은 비범한 사람, 완전하고 신성한 사람이어야 합니다. 이것이 바로 예수님이 우리를 대신하여 죽으시기 위해 이 땅에 오신 이유이며, 하나님께서 우리의 죄를 용서하실 수 있게 하신 것입니다.&nbsp; \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>조이: 그렇다면 선행은 어떻게 되나요? 그것들은 가치가 없는 건가요? \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>아마니: 선행은 우리가 구원을 얻는 데 도움이 되지 않습니다. 하나님은 완전히 거룩하시며, 우리의 최선의 노력조차 그분 앞에서는 “더러운 누더기”와 같다고 말씀하십니다 (사 64:6).&nbsp; 그러나 선행은 예수님의 죽음을 통해 우리에게 보장된 용서에 대한 감사의 제물입니다. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>조이: 그런데 꾸란은 예수님이 죽지 않으셨고, 단지 그렇게 보였을 뿐이라고 가르치잖아요.아마니: 하지만 성경은 전혀 그렇게 가르치지 않아요, 조이. 성경은 하나님이 예수 그리스도의 인격으로 인간의 모습으로 이 땅에 오시기로 선택하셨다고 말합니다. 그리고 그분이 오신 목적은 매우 구체적이었어요. 죄인들을 위해 십자가에서 죽으시기 위해서였습니다. 즉, 십자가에 못 박히신 것입니다. 기독교인이 아니었고 기독교를 좋아하지도 않았던 고대의 역사가들도 예수님의 십자가 처형을 단순한 사실로 기록하고 있습니다.&nbsp; 1세기에 글을 쓴 유대인 역사가 요세푸스는 AD 93년 《유대 고대사》에서 “빌라도는 [예수]를 십자가에 못 박아 죽이도록 선고했다”고 썼습니다.&nbsp; 뿐만 아니라 예수님의 친구이자 동시대인이었던 초기 기독교인들의 많은 기록들도 예수님이 죽으셨음을 분명히 보여줍니다. 복음서의 네 가지 별개의 역사적 기록 모두 이 사실을 분명히 밝히고 있습니다. 예수님이 죽지 않았다고 주장하는, 예수님보다 600년 후에 살았던 한 사람 모하메드의 말에 왜 그렇게 큰 신뢰를 주는 것일까요? 사건의 목격자들의 증언을 믿는 것이 합당할까요, 아니면 6세기 후에 태어난 사람의 말을 믿는 것이 합당할까요? 십자가 처형에 대해 누군가가 되돌리려 했던 매우 중요한 무언가가 있었던 것 같습니다.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>마이크:&nbsp; 아마니, 저도 그렇게 생각합니다. 사탄은 예수님의 메시지의 힘이 우리가 우리 자신의 죄에서 스스로를 구원할 수 없으며, 우리의 죄이 예수 그리스도께 지워져야 한다는 이해에 있다는 것을 압니다. 만약 남자와 여자들이 십자가 처형이 일어나지 않았다고 속게 된다면, 그들은 여전히 절망적으로 자신의 힘으로 천국에 가려고 애쓸 것입니다. 그들은 예수님이 이미 그들을 위해 값을 치르셨기 때문에 용서를 받을 수 있다는 것을 알지 못할 것입니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>조이: 그런데 왜 예수님이 우리를 위해 이것을 하셨을까요?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>마이크: 예수님은 유대인의 음모나 로마의 고문에 힘없는 희생자가 아니라, 기꺼이 자신의 생명을 내어주신 분이셨습니다.&nbsp; (요한복음 10:11, 18). 성경은 예수님이 “우리의 죄를 위하여 자신을 내어주셨다”(갈라디아서 1:3)고 말하며, 이는 “그가 우리를 사랑하셨기 때문”(갈라디아서 2:20)이라고 합니다.&nbsp; 예수님 자신도 “사람이 친구를 위하여 자기 목숨을 버리면 이에서 더 큰 사랑이 없나니”(요한복음 15:13)라고 말씀하셨습니다.&nbsp; 우리를 향한 사랑으로 예수님은 기꺼이 자신의 생명을 내어주셔서 우리가 죄에서 구원받을 수 있게 하셨습니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>아마니:&nbsp; 그리고 그뿐 아니라, 성경은 예수님이 우리의 죄를 위해 죽으셨고 죽은 자 가운데서 다시 살아나셨다고 말합니다. 이는 죄과 사망 모두에 대한 하나님의 권능을 분명히 보여줍니다. 그래서 성경은 “네가 만일 네 입으로 예수를 주로 시인하며 또 하나님께서 그를 죽은 자 가운데서 살리신 것을 네 마음에 믿으면 구원을 받으리라”(로마서 10:9-10)고 말합니다.&nbsp; 이것은 하나님께서 우리에게 주신 약속입니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>마이크:&nbsp; 맞습니다, 아마니. 영어 단어 “복음”은 “좋은 소식”을 의미하며, 그 좋은 소식은 우리가 심판의 날에 우리에게 일어날 일을 알 수 있다는 것입니다. 왜냐하면 “우리는 은혜로 구원을 받았으며… 그것은 하나님의 선물이지, 행위에서 난 것이 아니니 이는 누구든지 자랑하지 못하게 하려 하심이라”(에베소서 2:8-9).&nbsp; 이것은 기독교와 이슬람뿐만 아니라 다른 모든 종교와의 주요한 차이점입니다.&nbsp; 이것을 생각해 보세요. 만약 구원이 우리가 해야 할 일에 기초한다면, 우리는 결코 구원받기에 충분한 일을 했는지 확신할 수 없습니다.&nbsp; 그러나 구원은 우리의 신실함이나 노력에 기초한 것이 아니라, 예수님이 우리를 위해 사랑으로 죽으시고 다시 살아나신 일에 기초하기 때문에, 그분은 우리에게 영생을 약속하십니다(요한복음 5:24, 요한일서 2:25)!&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>아마니: 그리고 이것이 제가 이슬람을 떠나 예수님을 따르게 된 이유입니다. 하나님이 저를 대신하여 죽으셨는데, 어떻게 그분의 제안을 거절할 수 있겠습니까. 그것은 매우 어려운 결정이었습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>","\u003Cp>조이: 어떻게 하면 내 삶이 하나님을 기쁘게 하는지 확신할 수 있을까요?

[화면을 향해] 완전하신 하나님께 아무것도 충분하지 않을 것이라고 느껴본 적이 있나요? 제 많은 무슬림 친구들도 이런 감정을 공유했다는 것을 압니다. 우리가 모든 종교적 의무를 수행하더라도—기도, 자선, 금식, 하지—그것이 그분의 심판을 견디기에 충분하지 않다는 것을 어떻게든 알았습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>조이: 무슨 말인지 알아요, 아마니. 저도 결코 기준에 미치지 못하고 하나님과 관계를 가질 수 없다고 느꼈습니다. 아마 꾸란을 통해 하나님을 이해하고 그분에 대해 알 수는 있지만 결코 그분께 이를 수는 없었습니다. 그분은 너무 멀리 계셨습니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>아마니: 네, 조이. 그리고 이런 감정들은 무슬림 여성으로서 저에게 특히 힘든 것이었습니다. 결국 선지자가 지옥에 남자가 여자보다 훨씬 더 많다고 말했다면, 제 상황은 꽤 암울해 보였습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>마이크: 그래서 오늘 아마니와 저는 예수 그리스도를 알아가고 성경이 그분에 대해 실제로 무엇이라고 말하는지 배우는 우리의 영적 여정에 대해 이야기하고 싶습니다. 우리는 여러분에게 하나님의 좋은 소식에 대한 이야기를 나누고

우리가 중동 전역과 다양한 민족으로부터 온 24,000개의 신약성경 사본을 가지고 있다는 것을 의미합니다. 이는 한 사람이 그 수천 개의 사본을 모두 통제하지 않았다는 것을 의미합니다. 무슬림들은 성경이 변질되었다고 가르치지만, 이 생각의 문제점을 고려하지 않은 것 같습니다: 의도적으로 변화를 도입하려면 광대한 지리적 영역에 걸쳐 필사자들을 통제하고 여러

하나님의 영이 하나님 자신보다 덜 하나님이라고 믿지 않습니다. 사실 예수님은 “하나님은 영이시니 예배하는 자가 영과 진리로 예배할지니라”(요 4:24)고 말씀하셨습니다. 하나님의 영은 하나님의 선지자들에게 성경의 영감을 주신 분입니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Joy: 그래서 하나님 아버지와 성령에 대해 언급하셨는데,

이는 3천 년 이상의 기간에 걸쳐 기록되었으며, 이스라엘과 인류를 죄에서 구원할 메시아, 즉 예수에 대한 길고 상세한 예언적 그림을 엮고 있습니다. 에덴동산의 아담과 하와 이야기부터 시작하여, 사탄인 뱀의 머리를 한 날 밟을 하와의 후손이 있을 것이라는 약속이 있습니다. 예를 들어, 예수님이 태어나기 700년 전에 선지자 이사야는 이렇게 기록했습니다: “그러므로 주께서 친히 징조를 너희에게 주실 것이라. 보라, 처녀가 잉태하여 아들을 낳을 것이며, 그의 이름을 임마누엘이라 하리라.” (사 7:14). 이는 동정녀 마리아에게서 태어난 예수님을 가리키는 것임을 쉽게 알 수 있습니다. 그런데 조이, 임마누엘이 무슨 뜻인지 아나요?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>조이: 아니요. 무슨 뜻인가요?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>아마니: “하나님이 우리와 함께 계신다”는 뜻입니다… 그러므로 처녀가 아들을 낳을 때, 이사야는 이 아들이 “하나님이 우리와 함께 계신다”고 말하고 있는 것입니다. 문제는 이것입니다. 이 성경 구절은 예수님이 “아들”이라고 불리면서 동시에 “하나님이 우리와 함께 계신다”는 것을 가리키고 있습니다. 예언들은 메시아가 하나님이실 것이라고 가리키며, 예수님은 자신을 하나님으로 밝히시는 많은 말씀을 하셨습니다. 예를 들어, “나를 본 자는 아버지를 보았느니라.” (요 14:9)라고 하셨고, 또한 “나와 아버지는 하나이니라.” (요 10:30)라고 하셨습니다. 예수님은 요한복음 8:58에서 하나님의 이름 “나는 스스로 있는 자”를 자신에게 적용하기까지 하셨습니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>마이크: 아마니, 이제 제가 잠시 이야기를 되돌려야겠습니다. 우리 친구들은 한 가지를 이해해야 합니다. 성경의 의미를 완전히 이해하려면, 꾸란을 읽는 방식과 다르게 읽어야 합니다. 꾸란과 달리, 성경의 어떤 구절도 그 자체로 존재하지 않습니다. 하나님에 대한 완전한 그림은 성경 전체가 함께 만들어 냅니다. 성경의 모든 구절은 동시에 참이어야 합니다. 폐기(廢棄)란 없습니다. 그래서 문제가 생깁니다. 성경은 아버지가 하나님이시라고 말합니다. 그리고 성령이 하나님이시라고 말하며, 예수님이 하나님이시라고 말하지만, 하나님은 한 분이시라고도 말합니다. 성경 전체가 동시에 참이 되려면, 한 분 하나님이 세 위격을 가져야 합니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>조이: 그런데 하나님이 아들을 가지신다고요? 이것은 무슬림의 귀에는 매우 이상하게 들립니다. 특히 꾸란이 하나님은 아들을 두지 않는다고 반복해서 말하기 때문입니다. 그렇다면 하나님에게도 아내가 있다는 뜻인가요?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>아마니: 인간적인 관점으로 생각한다면, 그런 끔찍한 결론을 내릴 수도 있겠지요. 일부 무슬림들은 그리스도인들이 그렇게 믿는다고 잘못 주장하지만, 그것은 사실이 아닙니다. 그리스도인들은 하나님이 영원 전부터 예수 그리스도와 아버지-아들 관계와 같은 관계를 가져왔다고 믿습니다. 그러나 이것이 마리아가 임신한 방식에 대해 불쾌한 점이 있다는 것을 의미하지는 않습니다. 성경은 단순히 하나님께서 어떤 인간의 개입 없이 기적적으로 아이 예수 그리스도를 마리아의 태에 두셨다고 가르칩니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>조이:&nbsp; 또 한 가지 혼란스러운 점이 있습니다. 그리스도인들이 “예수님이 당신의 죄를 위해 죽으셨다”고 말하는 것을 들었습니다. 왜 예수님의 죽음이 하나님의 용서와 연결되어야 하나요? 하나님이 용서하시려면 그냥 용서하시면 되지 않나요? 결국, 하나님은 “있으라”고 말씀하시면 그대로 됩니다. 왜 제 용서를 위해 예수님의 죽음이 필요한가요?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>마이크: 조이, 이것은 우리가 앞서 했던 질문 중 하나로 돌아갑니다: “심판의 날에 내 죄가 용서받을 것이라고 어떻게 확신할 수 있는가?” 꾸란은 매우 분명합니다. “아무도 다른 사람의 짐을 질 수 없다”고 반복해서 말합니다. 모든 남자와 여자는 자신의 죄에 대해 책임이 있으며, 형벌을 받거나 선행으로 균형을 맞춰야 합니다. 그러나 이것은 성경이 죄에 대해 가르치는 바가 아닙니다. 아담과 하와가 죄를 지었을 때, 성경은 그들이 육체적으로나 영적으로 벌거벗었음을 깨달았다고 가르칩니다. 성경은 죄 때문에 그들이 육체적 죽음과 지옥에서 하나님과의 영원한 분리에 처하게 되었다고 설명합니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>아담과 하와는 자신들이 한 일에 대해 부끄러워하고 미안해했기 때문에, 하나님은 그들의 부끄러움을 가리기 위해 동물의 가죽으로 그들을 옷 입히셨습니다 (창 3:21). 이를 위해 하나님은 동물을 죽이셔야 했습니다. 나중에 하나님은 죄를 용서받기 위해서는 (히 9:22) 희생이 있어야 하며, 무언가가 죽어야 한다고 설명하십니다. 이것이 바로 모세가 하나님으로부터 받아온 율법에서 죄를 위한 동물 희생이 요구된 이유입니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>그러나 이 동물 희생들은 인간의 용서와 하나님과의 우정 회복을 위한 하나님의 참된 계획을 미리 보여주는 것에 불과하다는 것을 이해하는 것이 중요합니다. 세례 요한, 즉 예햐는 예수님을 “세상 죄를 지고 가는 하나님의 어린 양”이라고 불렀습니다. 그가 말하고자 한 것은 예수님이 한 사람이 아닌 모든 사람의 짐을 지실 것이라는 것이었습니다. 예수님은 죄 없는 삶을 사셨기 때문에, 그분을 기꺼이 받아들이고 따르려는 모든 사람의 죄를 덮기에 충분한 희생 제물, 즉 어린 양이 되실 수 있었습니다.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>그러므로 사실, 평범한 사람은 다른 사람의 짐을 질 수 없다는 것은 사실입니다. 다른 사람의 짐을 지기 위해서는 비범한 사람, 완전하고 신성한 사람이 필요합니다. 이것이 바로 예수님이 우리를 대신하여 죽으시기 위해 이 땅에 오신 이유이며, 하나님께서 우리의 죄를 용서하실 수 있게 하신 것입니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>조이: 그렇다면 선행은 어떻게 되나요? 그것들은 아무 가치가 없는 것인가요?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>아마니: 선행은 우리가 구원을 얻는 데 도움이 되지 않습니다. 하나님은 완전히 거룩하시며, 우리의 최선의 노력조차 그분 앞에서는 “더러운 누더기”와 같다고 말씀하십니다 (이사야 64:6).&nbsp; 그러나 선행은 예수님의 죽음을 통해 우리에게 보장된 용서에 대한 감사의 제물로 하나님께 드리는 것입니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>조이: 그런데 꾸란은 예수님이 죽지 않으셨고, 단지 그렇게 보였을 뿐이라고 가르칩니다.아마니: 하지만 성경은 전혀 그렇게 가르치지 않아요, 조이. 성경은 하나님이 예수 그리스도의 인격으로 인간의 모습으로 이 땅에 오시기로 선택하셨다고 말합니다. 그리고 그분이 오신 목적은 매우 분명합니다. 죄인들을 위해 십자가에서 죽으시기 위해서였습니다. 즉, 십자가에 못 박히시기 위해서였죠. 기독교인이 아니었고 기독교를 좋아하지도 않았던 고대 역사가들도 예수님의 십자가 처형을 단순한 사실로 기록하고 있습니다.&nbsp; 1세기에 글을 쓴 유대인 역사가 요세푸스는 AD 93년 《유대 고대사》에서 “빌라도는 [예수]를 십자가에 못 박혀 죽게 하라고 선고했다”고 기록했습니다.&nbsp; 뿐만 아니라 예수님의 친구이자 동시대인이었던 초기 기독교인들의 많은 기록들도 예수님이 죽으셨다는 사실을 분명히 보여줍니다. 복음서에 나오는 네 가지 별개의 역사적 기록 모두 이 사실을 명확히 밝히고 있습니다. 예수님이 죽지 않았다고 주장하는, 예수님보다 600년 후에 태어난 한 사람 모하메드의 말에 왜 그렇게 큰 신뢰를 주는 것일까요? 사건의 목격자들의 증언을 믿는 것이 합당할까요, 아니면 6세기 후에 태어난 사람의 말을 믿는 것이 합당할까요? 누군가가 십자가 처형에 대해 매우 중요한 사실을 되돌리려 했던 이유가 있었을지도 모릅니다.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>마이크:&nbsp; 그럴 것 같아요, 아마니. 사탄은 예수님의 메시지의 힘이 우리가 우리 자신의 죄에서 스스로를 구원할 수 없으며, 우리의 죄가 예수 그리스도께 지워져야 한다는 이해에 있다는 것을 알고 있습니다. 만약 사람들이 십자가 처형이 일어나지 않았다고 속아 넘어가게 된다면, 그들은 여전히 희망 없이 천국에 가기 위해 노력하게 될 것입니다. 그들은 이미 예수님이 그들을 위해 값을 치르셨기 때문에 용서를 받을 수 있다는 사실을 알지 못할 것입니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>조이: 그런데 왜 예수님이 우리를 위해 이렇게 하셨을까요?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>마이크: 예수님은 유대인의 음모나 로마의 고문에 의해 어쩔 수 없이 희생된 무기력한 피해자가 아니라, 자발적으로 자신의 생명을 내려놓으신 분이셨습니다.&nbsp; (요한복음 10:11, 18).   성경은 예수님이 “우리의 죄를 위하여 자신을 내어 주셨다”(갈라디아서 1:3)고 말하며, 이는 “그가 우리를 사랑하셨기 때문”(갈라디아서 2:20)이라고 합니다.&nbsp; 예수님 자신도 “사람이 친구를 위하여 자기 목숨을 버리면 이에서 더 큰 사랑이 없나니”(요한복음 15:13)라고 말씀하셨습니다.&nbsp; 우리를 향한 사랑 때문에 예수님은 자발적으로 자신의 생명을 내려놓으셔서 우리가 죄에서 구원받을 수 있게 하셨습니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>아마니:&nbsp; 뿐만 아니라, 성경은 예수님이 우리의 죄를 위해 죽으셨고 죽은 자 가운데서 다시 살아나셨다고 말합니다. 이는 죄과 사망 모두에 대한 하나님의 권능을 분명히 보여주는 것입니다. 그래서 성경은 “네가 만일 네 입으로 예수를 주로 시인하며 또 하나님께서 그를 죽은 자 가운데서 살리신 것을 네 마음에 믿으면 구원을 받으리라”(로마서 10:9-10)고 말합니다.&nbsp; 이것은 하나님께서 우리에게 주신 약속입니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>마이크:&nbsp; 맞아요, 아마니. 영어 단어 “복음”은 “좋은 소식”을 의미하며, 그 좋은 소식은 우리가 심판의 날에 우리에게 일어날 일을 알 수 있다는 것입니다. 왜냐하면 “우리는 은혜로 구원을 받았으며… 이것은 하나님의 선물이지 행위에서 난 것이 아니니, 누구든지 자랑하지 못하게 하려 하심이라”(에베소서 2:8-9)고 했기 때문입니다.&nbsp; 이것은 기독교와 이슬람뿐만 아니라 다른 모든 종교와의 큰 차이점입니다.&nbsp; 생각해 보세요. 만약 구원이 우리가 해야 할 일에 기초한다면, 우리는 결코 구원받기에 충분한 일을 했는지 확신할 수 없습니다.&nbsp; 그러나 구원은 우리의 신실함이나 노력에 기초한 것이 아니라, 예수님이 우리를 위해 사랑으로 죽으시고 다시 살아나신 일에 기초하기 때문에, 그분은 우리에게 영생을 약속하십니다(요한복음 5:24, 요한일서 2:25)!&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>아마니: 그리고 이것이 제가 이슬람을 떠나 예수님을 따르게 된 이유입니다. 하나님이 저를 대신해 죽으셨는데, 어떻게 그분의 제안을 거절할 수 있겠습니까? 그 결정은 매우 어려웠습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003C\u002Fdiv>",[1526,1527,1528,1529],{"id":181,"title":182,"description":183,"slug":184,"featured":9,"category_id":185,"playerembed":186,"created_at":187,"updated_at":188,"thumbnail":189,"embeded_icon":190,"embeded_thumnail":189,"title_es":191,"description_es":192,"playerembed_es":186,"title_fr":18,"description_fr":18,"playerembed_fr":186,"title_ko":18,"description_ko":18,"playerembed_ko":186},{"id":194,"title":195,"description":196,"slug":197,"featured":9,"category_id":185,"playerembed":198,"created_at":199,"updated_at":200,"thumbnail":201,"embeded_icon":202,"embeded_thumnail":201,"title_es":203,"description_es":204,"playerembed_es":198,"title_fr":18,"description_fr":18,"playerembed_fr":198,"title_ko":18,"description_ko":18,"playerembed_ko":198},{"id":218,"title":219,"description":220,"slug":221,"featured":9,"category_id":185,"playerembed":222,"created_at":223,"updated_at":224,"thumbnail":225,"embeded_icon":226,"embeded_thumnail":225,"title_es":227,"description_es":228,"playerembed_es":222,"title_fr":18,"description_fr":18,"playerembed_fr":222,"title_ko":18,"description_ko":18,"playerembed_ko":222},{"id":230,"title":231,"description":232,"slug":233,"featured":9,"category_id":185,"playerembed":234,"created_at":235,"updated_at":236,"thumbnail":237,"embeded_icon":190,"embeded_thumnail":237,"title_es":238,"description_es":239,"playerembed_es":234,"title_fr":18,"description_fr":18,"playerembed_fr":234,"title_ko":18,"description_ko":18,"playerembed_ko":234},{"id":896,"name":1531,"description":1532,"slug":1533,"background":1534,"thumbnail":1535,"supercategory":479,"created_at":480,"updated_at":1536,"embed_thumbnail":1537,"embed_icon":503,"featured_category":18,"name_es":1538,"description_es":1539,"playerembed":1540,"order":761,"name_fr":1541,"description_fr":1542,"name_ko":1543,"description_ko":1544,"answers":1545,"testimonials":1579,"isVideo":50},"Church","What

Thank you for reading this message of hope and satisfaction. We know that you can struggle with working off your Karma. Don’t worry, you are not the only one.

Many Buddhist scholars have said that Jesus was a type of a Buddha.

There are claims about who Jesus was in Christianity, Islam, Judiasm and in other faiths. Instead of focusing on what was said centuries after Jesus was on earth, we want to spare you the time by going back to the ancient records that were written before, during and directly after Jesus was here.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">We get the most information from Jesus from a book called the Bible. Did you know that you could live your entire life and never actually know how we got the Bible? Do you mind if we tell you really fast?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">The Bible’s 40 authors were eyewitnesses to incredible events and teachings and wrote them down in three different languages, Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, while they were on three different continents, Asia Africa and Europe, over a period of 1600 years. Remarkably, despite the widespread difference in languages, geography, and time; the writings are telling the same exact, highly detailed, story. In fact these writings give thousands, upon thousands, of opportunities to be wrong, as they list specific ancient cities, kings, countries, major events, people, and all the way down to the money they used. Yet, over and over again the Bible matches with other ancient historical writings unrelated to the Bible itself, like the Greek, Egyptian, Persian, Babalonian, Roman Empire, and Kingly records. Despite the Bible being the most widely read and criticized book in the world, nothing of importance can be found wrong with it’s understandable writings.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Also, no other “holy” book has prophecies that come true. A prophecy is something that is predicted to come true in the future before it happens. The Bible contains prophecies of major events in history, which were recorded hundreds and sometimes thousands of years before they happened. We see correct predictions of the rise and fall of the Greek and Roman Empires, and over 300 prophecies that specifically talk about Jesus and that He fulfilled.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">No other holy book or writings have the manuscript evidence that the Bible does. For example, the earliest fragments of manuscripts of the Quran were found 300 years after Muhammad, and the writings about what Buddha taught appeared 400 years after Buddha. With the Bible, we have fragments of manuscripts that date back to the same century Jesus lived, and complete manuscripts by the thousands soon after. Even the early Bible believers, who are said to have known the authors, quoted the Bible so much in their writings that you can assemble the entire second half of the Bible (New Testament) from their preserved writings from the 1st and 2nd Centuries.&nbsp; We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Bible can be trusted with what it says.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">If you compare the Bible to any other “Holy” book, nothing can touch this sharpness and precision.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">So what does the Bible say about your Karma? Well it does talk about the bad things you have done and how it does create a huge problem. It also talks about ways to get the consequences taken away, but before we tell you we want to make sure you have a better understanding of where we are coming from.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">First, if you can’t tell already, what you are about to learn from the Bible is different from what you have been taught. We do not want to offend you with a different teaching, but we want you to remember this message is directly out of the Bible, and you just learned why we should pay attention to what it says. Also, we need you to know that we love you, we are sorry that this teaching is different from what you have been taught but there is good news we have to share.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">The Bible clearly teaches The Four Noble Paths and The Eightfold Paths are not going to help you. No matter how hard you try to work, there are always more bad things to work off. Even the desire to work off your Karma can give you more Karma. Isn’t it natural to desire a goal? Don’t you want to be forgiven? Why is it wrong to desire that? What if you desired that there would be a good God who loved you unconditionally? What if you desired to never cease to exist, but live forever in Heaven? Do you recognize those desires? Those are seeds of desire that God put in you to help you find Him.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">How do we know there is a God? \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Well, there is a miracle happening right now. As you are hearing things around you, invisible sound waves are vibrating onto your eardrum. On the other side of your eardrum, there are three little bones that line up and attach to your cochlea, which is a small snail shell looking structure that is filled with water and has thousands of hairs on it’s walls. As the water moves, these hairs act like piano keys and create electronic signals, so your brain can just begin to understand what I am saying right now. So who are we to say there is no God or that we couldn’t know God personally if there was a God, because no one knows how the hearing process can even work, starting just with the invisible sound waves themselves.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">If we didn’t have the Bible, it would be easier to conclude that there isn’t a God we can know personally. But the Bible says that there is a God who loves you and who can work off all the bad things you have ever done, for you.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Yes, the most trustworthy book of all time, the Bible, teaches the bad things you’ve done, like telling a single lie, separate you from God because He is perfect; this means you can’t go to Heaven where God is and live forever with Him. But God loves you so much that He wants to be in a personal relationship with YOU, so you CAN go to Heaven.&nbsp; So do you know what God did for you because He loves you so much? God came as Jesus to live a perfect life for you, so He could take all of your punishment, He then died in your place, and He rose again from the dead, so you can have forgiveness. Ok, don't miss this! The Bible says if you BELIEVE God did this for you then you will receive forgiveness and go to Heaven.&nbsp;Yep, that's it. Here is one of many verses in the Bible that say that. Romans 4:5, \"But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners.\"\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">That’s it. It seems so easy doesn’t it? But God is your Heavenly Father, He is the one that created you from your head to your toes. He loves you so much, He knows how many hairs are on your head. You have so much value and worth to God that if you were the only person alive, Jesus would come and die just for you. He loves you the way you love your son, or the way you love your daughter. Unconditionally. He also gives gifts, like a good father would. He actually gave you the best gift you could ever have, that is forgiveness from all the bad things you have ever done, just by believing He did this for you.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Another verse in the Bible in, 2 Corinthians 6:2 says,&nbsp; \"I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.\" So will you believe that God did the work for you to go to Heaven right now?\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">That is wonderful.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Will you say this prayer out loud?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">“Dear God,\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">I know that I have done many bad things.

Muchos estudiosos budistas han dicho que Jesús era un tipo de Buda. ¿Quizás lo que ha faltado en tu vida para alcanzar la plenitud es conocer más sobre Él?\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Entendemos que hay muchas opiniones diferentes sobre Jesús. Hay afirmaciones sobre quién fue Jesús en el cristianismo, el islam, el judaísmo y otras religiones. En lugar de centrarnos en lo que se dijo siglos después de que Jesús estuvo en la tierra, queremos ahorrarte tiempo yendo a los registros antiguos que se escribieron antes, durante y directamente después de que Jesús estuvo aquí.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Obtenemos la mayor información sobre Jesús de un libro llamado la Biblia. ¿Sabías que podrías vivir toda tu vida y nunca saber realmente cómo obtuvimos la Biblia? ¿Te importa que te lo contemos muy rápido?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Los 40 autores de la Biblia fueron testigos presenciales de eventos y enseñanzas increíbles y los escribieron en tres idiomas diferentes: hebreo, arameo y griego, mientras estaban en tres continentes diferentes: Asia, África y Europa, durante un período de 1600 años. Sorprendentemente, a pesar de la gran diferencia en idiomas, geografía y tiempo, los escritos cuentan la misma historia exacta y muy detallada. De hecho, estos escritos ofrecen miles y miles de oportunidades para equivocarse, ya que enumeran ciudades antiguas específicas, reyes, países, eventos importantes, personas e incluso el dinero que usaban. Sin embargo, una y otra vez, la Biblia coincide con otros escritos históricos antiguos no relacionados con la Biblia misma, como los registros griegos, egipcios, persas, babilonios, del Imperio Romano y de los reyes. A pesar de ser el libro más leído y criticado del mundo, no se puede encontrar nada importante incorrecto en sus escritos comprensibles.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Además, ningún otro libro “sagrado” tiene profecías que se cumplan. Una profecía es algo que se predice que se cumplirá en el futuro antes de que suceda. La Biblia contiene profecías de eventos importantes en la historia, que fueron registradas cientos y a veces miles de años antes de que ocurrieran. Vemos predicciones correctas del ascenso y caída de los imperios griego y romano, y más de 300 profecías que hablan específicamente de Jesús y que Él cumplió.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Ningún otro libro o escrito sagrado tiene la evidencia manuscrita que tiene la Biblia. Por ejemplo, los fragmentos más antiguos de manuscritos del Corán se encontraron 300 años después de Mahoma, y los escritos sobre lo que Buda enseñó aparecieron 400 años después de Buda. Con la Biblia, tenemos fragmentos de manuscritos que datan del mismo siglo en que vivió Jesús, y miles de manuscritos completos poco después. Incluso los primeros creyentes de la Biblia, que se dice que conocían a los autores, citaron tanto la Biblia en sus escritos que se puede reconstruir toda la segunda mitad de la Biblia (el Nuevo Testamento) a partir de sus escritos preservados de los siglos I y II.&nbsp; Sabemos, sin sombra de duda, que la Biblia puede ser confiable en lo que dice.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Si comparas la Biblia con cualquier otro libro “sagrado”, nada puede igualar esta agudeza y precisión.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Entonces, ¿qué dice la Biblia sobre tu Karma? Bueno, sí habla de las cosas malas que has hecho y de cómo crean un gran problema. También habla de formas de eliminar las consecuencias, pero antes de decírtelo queremos asegurarnos de que entiendas mejor de dónde venimos.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Primero, si ya te diste cuenta, lo que estás a punto de aprender de la Biblia es diferente de lo que te han enseñado. No queremos ofenderte con una enseñanza diferente, pero queremos que recuerdes que este mensaje sale directamente de la Biblia, y acabas de aprender por qué debemos prestar atención a lo que dice. Además, necesitamos que sepas que te amamos, sentimos que esta enseñanza sea diferente de lo que te han enseñado, pero tenemos buenas noticias que compartir.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">La Biblia enseña claramente que Los Cuatro Nobles Senderos y El Óctuple Sendero no te van a ayudar. No importa cuánto te esfuerces por trabajar, siempre hay más cosas malas que compensar. Incluso el deseo de compensar tu Karma puede generar más Karma. ¿No es natural desear una meta? ¿No quieres ser perdonado? ¿Por qué está mal desear eso? ¿Y si desearas que hubiera un buen Dios que te amara incondicionalmente? ¿Y si desearas no dejar de existir nunca, sino vivir para siempre en el Cielo? ¿Reconoces esos deseos? Esas son semillas de deseo que Dios puso en ti para ayudarte a encontrarlo.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">¿Cómo sabemos que hay un Dios? \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Bueno, hay un milagro sucediendo ahora mismo. Mientras escuchas las cosas a tu alrededor, ondas sonoras invisibles vibran sobre tu tímpano. Al otro lado de tu tímpano, hay tres huesecillos que se alinean y se conectan a tu cóclea, que es una pequeña estructura en forma de caracol llena de agua y que tiene miles de pelos en sus paredes. A medida que el agua se mueve, estos pelos actúan como teclas de piano y crean señales electrónicas, para que tu cerebro pueda empezar a entender lo que estoy diciendo ahora mismo. Entonces, ¿quiénes somos nosotros para decir que no hay Dios o que no podríamos conocer a Dios personalmente si existiera un Dios, porque nadie sabe cómo puede funcionar siquiera el proceso de audición, empezando solo con las ondas sonoras invisibles?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Si no tuviéramos la Biblia, sería más fácil concluir que no hay un Dios al que podamos conocer personalmente. Pero la Biblia dice que hay un Dios que te ama y que puede compensar todas las cosas malas que hayas hecho, por ti.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Sí, el libro más confiable de todos los tiempos, la Biblia, enseña que las cosas malas que has hecho, como decir una sola mentira, te separan de Dios porque Él es perfecto; esto significa que no puedes ir al Cielo donde está Dios y vivir para siempre con Él. Pero Dios te ama tanto que quiere tener una relación personal CONTIGO, para que PUEDAS ir al Cielo.&nbsp; Entonces, ¿sabes lo que Dios hizo por ti porque te ama tanto? Dios vino como Jesús para vivir una vida perfecta por ti, para poder tomar todo tu castigo, luego murió en tu lugar, y resucitó de entre los muertos, para que puedas tener perdón. ¡Ok, no te pierdas esto! La Biblia dice que si CREES que Dios hizo esto por ti, entonces recibirás el perdón e irás al Cielo.&nbsp;Sí, eso es todo. Aquí hay uno de los muchos versículos de la Biblia que dicen eso. Romanos 4:5, \"Pero a la persona que no trabaja, sino que cree en el que justifica al impío, su fe se le cuenta por justicia.\"\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Eso es todo. Parece tan fácil, ¿verdad? Pero Dios es tu Padre Celestial, Él es quien te creó de la cabeza a los pies. Él te ama tanto que sabe cuántos cabellos tienes en tu cabeza. Tienes tanto valor y dignidad para Dios que si fueras la única persona viva, Jesús vendría y moriría solo por ti. Él te ama de la manera en que amas a tu hijo, o de la manera en que amas a tu hija. Incondicionalmente. Él también da regalos, como lo haría un buen padre. De hecho, te dio el mejor regalo que podrías tener, que es el perdón de todas las cosas malas que hayas hecho, solo por creer que Él hizo esto por ti.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Otro versículo en la Biblia, en 2 Corintios 6:2 dice,&nbsp; \"Les digo que ahora es el tiempo de la buena voluntad de Dios, ahora es el día de la salvación.\" Entonces, ¿creerás que Dios hizo el trabajo por ti para ir al Cielo ahora mismo?\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Eso es maravilloso.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">¿Dirás esta oración en voz alta?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">“Querido Dios,\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Sé que he hecho muchas cosas malas.

Cela vous dérange-t-il si nous vous le disons très rapidement ?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Les 40 auteurs de la Bible étaient des témoins oculaires d’événements et d’enseignements incroyables et les ont consignés par écrit en trois langues différentes, l’hébreu, l’araméen et le grec, alors qu’ils se trouvaient sur trois continents différents, l’Asie, l’Afrique et l’Europe, sur une période de 1600 ans. Remarquablement, malgré les différences importantes de langues, de géographie et d’époque, les écrits racontent exactement la même histoire, très détaillée. En fait, ces écrits offrent des milliers et des milliers d’occasions de se tromper, car ils énumèrent des villes anciennes spécifiques, des rois, des pays, des événements majeurs, des personnes, et même jusqu’à l’argent qu’ils utilisaient. Pourtant, encore et encore, la Bible correspond à d’autres écrits historiques anciens sans rapport avec la Bible elle-même, comme les archives grecques, égyptiennes, perses, babyloniennes, de l’Empire romain et royales. Bien que la Bible soit le livre le plus lu et le plus critiqué au monde, rien d’important ne peut être trouvé de faux dans ses écrits compréhensibles.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">De plus, aucun autre livre « sacré » ne contient de prophéties qui se réalisent. Une prophétie est quelque chose qui est prédit pour se réaliser dans le futur avant que cela n’arrive. La Bible contient des prophéties d’événements majeurs de l’histoire, qui ont été enregistrées des centaines et parfois des milliers d’années avant qu’elles ne se produisent. Nous voyons des prédictions correctes de l’essor et de la chute des empires grec et romain, et plus de 300 prophéties qui parlent spécifiquement de Jésus et qu’Il a accomplies.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Aucun autre livre ou écriture sacrée ne possède la preuve manuscrite que possède la Bible. Par exemple, les plus anciens fragments de manuscrits du Coran ont été découverts 300 ans après Mahomet, et les écrits sur ce que Bouddha a enseigné sont apparus 400 ans après Bouddha. Avec la Bible, nous avons des fragments de manuscrits qui remontent au même siècle où Jésus a vécu, et des milliers de manuscrits complets peu après. Même les premiers croyants de la Bible, qui auraient connu les auteurs, citaient tellement la Bible dans leurs écrits que vous pouvez reconstituer toute la seconde moitié de la Bible (le Nouveau Testament) à partir de leurs écrits préservés des 1er et 2e siècles.&nbsp; Nous savons sans l’ombre d’un doute que la Bible peut être considérée comme fiable en ce qu’elle dit.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Si vous comparez la Bible à tout autre livre « sacré », rien ne peut égaler cette précision et cette exactitude.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Alors, que dit la Bible à propos de votre Karma ? Eh bien, elle parle des mauvaises choses que vous avez faites et de la façon dont cela crée un énorme problème.

Nous ne voulons pas vous offenser avec un enseignement différent, mais nous voulons que vous vous souveniez que ce message vient directement de la Bible, et vous venez d’apprendre pourquoi nous devons prêter attention à ce qu’elle dit. De plus, nous devons vous faire savoir que nous vous aimons, nous sommes désolés que cet enseignement soit différent de ce que vous avez appris, mais nous avons de bonnes nouvelles à partager.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">La Bible enseigne clairement que les Quatre Nobles Vérités et le Noble Chemin Octuple ne vous aideront pas. Peu importe vos efforts pour vous racheter, il y aura toujours d’autres mauvaises actions à compenser. Même le désir de racheter votre Karma peut vous en créer davantage. N’est-il pas naturel de désirer un objectif ? Ne voulez-vous pas être pardonné ? Pourquoi serait-il mal de désirer cela ? Et si vous désiriez qu’il existe un Dieu bon qui vous aime inconditionnellement ? Et si vous désiriez ne jamais cesser d’exister, mais vivre éternellement au Ciel ? Reconnaissez-vous ces désirs ? Ce sont des graines de désir que Dieu a placées en vous pour vous aider à Le trouver.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Comment savons-nous qu’il y a un Dieu ? \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Eh bien, un miracle se produit en ce moment même. Alors que vous entendez les sons autour de vous, des ondes sonores invisibles vibrent sur votre tympan. De l’autre côté de votre tympan, trois petits os s’alignent et se rattachent à la cochlée, une petite structure en forme de coquille d’escargot remplie d’eau et dotée de milliers de poils sur ses parois. Lorsque l’eau bouge, ces poils agissent comme des touches de piano et créent des signaux électroniques, permettant à votre cerveau de commencer à comprendre ce que je dis en ce moment. Qui sommes-nous donc pour affirmer qu’il n’y a pas de Dieu ou que nous ne pourrions pas Le connaître personnellement s’Il existait, puisque personne ne sait comment fonctionne même le processus de l’ouïe, à commencer par les ondes sonores invisibles elles-mêmes.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Sans la Bible, il serait plus facile de conclure qu’il n’y a pas de Dieu que nous puissions connaître personnellement.

Mais Dieu vous aime tellement qu’Il veut avoir une relation personnelle AVEC VOUS, afin que vous PUISSIEZ aller au Ciel.&nbsp; Alors, savez-vous ce que Dieu a fait pour vous parce qu’Il vous aime tant ? Dieu est venu en Jésus pour vivre une vie parfaite pour vous, afin de pouvoir prendre tout votre châtiment, Il est ensuite mort à votre place, et Il est ressuscité d’entre les morts, afin que vous puissiez recevoir le pardon. Ok, ne manquez pas ceci ! La Bible dit que si vous CROYEZ que Dieu a fait cela pour vous, alors vous recevrez le pardon et irez au Ciel.&nbsp;Oui, c’est tout. Voici l’un des nombreux versets de la Bible qui le disent. Romains 4:5, « Mais celui qui ne travaille pas, mais qui croit en celui qui justifie l’impie, sa foi lui est comptée comme justice. »\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">C’est tout. Cela semble si facile, n’est-ce pas ? Mais Dieu est votre Père céleste, c’est Lui qui vous a créé de la tête aux pieds. Il vous aime tellement qu’Il connaît le nombre de cheveux sur votre tête. Vous avez tant de valeur et d’importance aux yeux de Dieu que si vous étiez la seule personne vivante, Jésus viendrait mourir rien que pour vous. Il vous aime comme vous aimez votre fils ou votre fille. Inconditionnellement. Il donne aussi des cadeaux, comme le ferait un bon père. Il vous a en fait donné le plus beau cadeau que vous puissiez recevoir : le pardon de toutes les mauvaises choses que vous avez jamais commises, simplement en croyant qu’Il a fait cela pour vous.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Un autre verset de la Bible, dans 2 Corinthiens 6:2, dit : « Je vous le dis, c’est maintenant le temps de la faveur de Dieu, c’est maintenant le jour du salut. » Alors, croirez-vous que Dieu a fait le travail pour que vous alliez au Ciel dès maintenant ?\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">C’est merveilleux.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Voulez-vous dire cette prière à voix haute ?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">« Cher Dieu,\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Je sais que j’ai fait beaucoup de mauvaises choses.

It is important to clearl&nbsp;y distinguish between the idea of actively killing and letting die.&nbsp; The reason being is that the latter can, and has been traditionally seen as “good medicine”[1]&nbsp; There does come a time when the Christian must accept the inevitability of death and allow the disease or underlying injury to take its course.&nbsp; John Frame, in consideration of the biblical material regarding this point, states,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Death is, of course, the last enemy (1 Cor 15:26), but it is not on that account always to be resisted. &nbsp;God’s people can accept death because they look forward to the certainty of immediate fellowship with God and the future resurrection of the body.&nbsp; They are not suicidal, but when it is evident that their life is at an end, they do not desperately, against all natural probability, seek its prolongation.[2]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Along these same lines, Farley remarks, “Every person is utterly valuable, and each one’s life is utterly valuable, yet things other than life are sometimes more valuable.&nbsp; Human life deserves respect; it even has sanctity; but death may sometimes be welcomed.”[3]&nbsp; A Christian sense of destiny involves “hope” in eternal life, or resurrection.&nbsp; The believer’s resurrection is vouchsafed on the basis of Christ’s resurrection[4]&nbsp; But seeking death is not the same as accepting it.&nbsp; “Scripture always presents mercy killing negatively,” asserts Frame.[5]&nbsp; He demonstrates how people who sought to kill themselves or have others kill them are “always seen as disobedient.”&nbsp; Suicide—self killing—is a contradiction of the legitimate self-love Scripture “assumes and commands.”&nbsp; Suffering does not render a life meaningless or valueless (just as important for the sufferer to know this as for those who care for them), and since our lives are not our own, they are not at our&nbsp;disposal.[6]&nbsp;just as we do not have the prerogative to kill another&nbsp;&nbsp;, we do not have the prerogative to kill ourselves.&nbsp; As stated above, God alone has this prerogative &nbsp;Frame concludes, “so ‘letting die’ is sometimes justified, though ‘killing’ never is.[7]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yet advocates of active euthanasia actually refer to the more “passive” forms of letting people die to justify PAS &nbsp;They do this by claiming that an impertinent distinction has been drawn between the two.&nbsp; An article written by James Rachels in&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003Cem>The New England Journal of Medicine\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;in 1975 was the first major challenge to the traditional view.[8]&nbsp; He defended euthanasia as being just as humane and thus morally acceptable as using passive means to kill.&nbsp; For him, there is no moral distinction between the two.&nbsp; More recently, the arguments propounded by the 2nd&nbsp;and 9thCircuit Courts of Appeal (in New York and Washington respectively), have also tried to argue that the constitutionally protected right that patients have to refuse life-sustaining treatment should be extended to the right to PAS, because both decisions are highly personal and should not be forbidden by law.[9]&nbsp; “The heart of the complaint is that the traditional view arbitrarily rules out all cases of intentionally acting to terminate life, but permits what is, in fact the moral equivalent, letting people die.”[10]&nbsp; Such a comparison is quite problematic for the following reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It must be conceded to Rachels that the withholding or withdrawing of medical treatment&nbsp;\u003Cem>may\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;be motivated by the desire to bring about the death of a person,[11]&nbsp;one must insist that it is not&nbsp;\u003Cem>always\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;the case.&nbsp; Rachels does not allow for this, he does not allow that the motive for omission may be other than causing death, while the motive for active euthanasia can be nothing but death.&nbsp; Writing in direct response to Rachels,&nbsp; Thomas Sullivan puts this in clear perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The traditional view is that the intentional termination of human life is impermissible, irrespective of whether this goal is brought about by action or inaction.&nbsp; Is the action or refraining&nbsp;\u003Cem>aimed\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;\u003Cem>at\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;producing a death? Is the termination of life&nbsp;\u003Cem>sought, chosen or planned\u003C\u002Fem>?&nbsp; Is the intention deadly?&nbsp; If so, the act or omission is wrong.&nbsp; But we all know it is entirely possible that the unwillingness of a physician to use extra-ordinary means for preserving life may be prompted not by a determination to bring about death, but by other motives.[12]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sullivan then gives examples.&nbsp; “[the physician] may realize that further treatment may offer little hope of reversing the dying process and\u002For be excruciating . . . but it certainly does not follow from the fact&nbsp; that he intends to bring about death.”[13]&nbsp; Sullivan presents the analogy that it is quite possible to omit an action knowing that such may bring about certain consequences, but not necessarily desire those consequences.&nbsp; For example, Americans constantly choose not to eat healthily&nbsp;or exercise, knowing that such omissions&nbsp;\u003Cem>may\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;result in disease and early death, but this does not mean these consequences were desired when the omissions were chosen. &nbsp;“It is not the case,” he writes, “that all the foreseeable consequences and side effects of our conduct are necessarily intended.”[14]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thomas Beauchamp, also in direct response to Rachels, likewise concedes that passive omissions may be motivated by the desire to cause death, but Rachels and his ilk must admit that this is not&nbsp;\u003Cem>necessarily\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;the case.&nbsp; For example, Beauchamp refers to the case of Karen Ann Quinlan, whose father stated in an interview that he was not trying to cause his daughter’s death, but rather wanted to “remove her from the machines in order to see whether she would live or die a natural death.”[15]&nbsp;&nbsp;He states that although there are difficult situations in which treatment is removed yet “we do not&nbsp;\u003Cem>know\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;that recovery is empirically impossible, even if good evidence is available.&nbsp;[16]&nbsp;&nbsp;He concludes, “Active termination of life removes all possibility of life from the patient, while passively ceasing extraordinary means may not.”[17]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So from both a medical and ethical standpoint, the active\u002Fpassive distinction, or better the killing\u002Fletting die distinction, must be maintained.&nbsp; While it is possible for omission of treatment to be motivated by the desire for death to result, it does not prevent possible recovery, killing a patient actively, on the other hand, absolutely precludes the possibility of recovery, and the result of such is invariably to make the patient dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>CHAPTER 3\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>IS TERMINAL SEDATION EQUIVALENT TO ACTIVE EUTHANASIA?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Another important issue to broach in the discussion is whether or not the administration of a dose of medication strong enough to kill pain, but may also inadvertently kill the patient, is tantamount to active euthanasia.&nbsp; The debate concerning “terminal sedation” is still in its early stages, but there is no doubt a fine line to be drawn here.&nbsp; It is perhaps the most controversial level of palliative care. “ Dr. Robert J. Kingsbury, sees this level of care as being consistent with biblical principles, because the physician who applies the medication is doing so to fulfill the physicians mandate of benefiting the patient and doing no harm.[18]&nbsp; He writes,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Terminal sedation is a recent addition to the lexicon of palliative care . . . a survey of 61 selected palliative care experts, arrived at the following definition; ‘terminal sedation is deliberately inducing and maintaining deep sleep but not deliberately causing death in very specific circumstances.’ The ‘specific circumstances ‘ were defined as intractable symptoms at eh end of life . . . for which standard palliative care intervention had failed to provide adequate relief.[19]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>While it might be questioned as to whether the sedation itself hasten death, Kingsbury cites a study which “showed no statistically significant difference in survival from date of admission between sedated and non-sedated patients,” concluding that the “the need for\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>sedation is an indicator of impending death and not a cause of premature death.”[20]&nbsp;

The objection is that intent is difficult to measure, and all that matters is outcome, which is, namely, death.&nbsp; Kingsbury, however, counters this and insists that physician intent, although unknown for the most part, can be objectively measured to a certain extent by asserting that\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>analgesics or sedatives are administered only for pain relief or distress if they are&nbsp;\u003Cem>titrated to achieve specific end points\u003C\u002Fem>(such as the absence of grimacing or moaning in patients unable to report pain) and not beyond.&nbsp; In contrast, the rapid administration of medication with&nbsp;\u003Cem>no effort to titrate\u003C\u002Fem>indicates that hastening of death was the first intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kingsbury has pointed out not only an important distinction, but also provided an objective standard for determining intent to some degree. &nbsp;He then conscientiously explains how such intervention is consistent with a biblical perspective by first affirming his belief in the sanctity of human life as created in the&nbsp;\u003Cem>imago Dei\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;and the consequent responsibility that physicians have not only to their patients, but to God who is the giver all life. &nbsp;He defends this practice as suffering with (true compassion) patients.&nbsp; In his practice he assures patients that the hospice is a ‘euthanasia-free zone’ and that they may be sedated if they choose, and they will sleep until they die.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It seems that the Scriptures support the principle of palliative care, and by implication, terminal sedation.&nbsp;

Nevertheless, this same kind of drink is legitimate for one who is dying, so that individual can forget his impoverished and miserable condition.&nbsp; It would seem possible that the narcotics used in terminal sedation are consistent with this biblical idea.&nbsp; Those who are suffering in their dying are to be given some kind of substance to help them “forget,” their impoverished and miserable condition, and, by implication, to die in as little suffering as possible.&nbsp; Implicit also is the idea that actively killing a person in such a state is forbidden.&nbsp; There is no suggestion to suicide or assisted suicide in this text, but it would seem quite appropriate to the context if such was given divine sanction.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The discussion about terminal sedation is, as already indicated, in its earliest stages.&nbsp;

Es importante distinguir claramente entre la idea de matar activamente y la de dejar morir.&nbsp; La razón es que esta última puede, y ha sido tradicionalmente vista como “buena medicina”[1]&nbsp; Llega un momento en que el cristiano debe aceptar la inevitabilidad de la muerte y permitir que la enfermedad o la lesión subyacente siga su curso.&nbsp; John Frame, al considerar el material bíblico sobre este punto, afirma,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La muerte es, por supuesto, el último enemigo (1 Cor 15:26), pero no por eso debe siempre resistirse.&nbsp; El pueblo de Dios puede aceptar la muerte porque espera con certeza la comunión inmediata con Dios y la futura resurrección del cuerpo.&nbsp; No son suicidas, pero cuando es evidente que su vida ha llegado a su fin, no buscan desesperadamente, contra toda probabilidad natural, su prolongación.[2]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En la misma línea, Farley señala: “Toda persona es de un valor absoluto, y la vida de cada uno es de un valor absoluto, sin embargo, a veces hay cosas más valiosas que la vida.&nbsp; La vida humana merece respeto; incluso tiene santidad; pero a veces la muerte puede ser bienvenida”.[3]&nbsp; Un sentido cristiano del destino implica “esperanza” en la vida eterna, o resurrección.&nbsp; La resurrección del creyente está garantizada sobre la base de la resurrección de Cristo[4]&nbsp; Pero buscar la muerte no es lo mismo que aceptarla.&nbsp; “Las Escrituras siempre presentan la muerte por piedad de forma negativa”, afirma Frame.[5]&nbsp; Demuestra cómo las personas que buscaron matarse o que otros las mataran son “siempre vistas como desobedientes”.&nbsp; El suicidio —matarse a uno mismo— es una contradicción del legítimo amor propio que las Escrituras “asumen y ordenan”.&nbsp; El sufrimiento no hace que una vida carezca de sentido o de valor (tan importante es que el que sufre lo sepa como que lo sepan quienes lo cuidan), y como nuestras vidas no nos pertenecen, no están a nuestra disposición.[6]&nbsp;así como no tenemos la prerrogativa de matar a otro&nbsp;&nbsp;, no tenemos la prerrogativa de matarnos a nosotros mismos.&nbsp; Como se ha dicho antes, solo Dios tiene esta prerrogativa&nbsp;Frame concluye: “por lo tanto, ‘dejar morir’ a veces está justificado, aunque ‘matar’ nunca lo está.[7]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sin embargo, los defensores de la eutanasia activa se refieren a las formas más “pasivas” de dejar morir a las personas para justificar el PAS&nbsp;Lo hacen alegando que se ha trazado una distinción impertinente entre ambas.&nbsp; Un artículo escrito por James Rachels en&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003Cem>The New England Journal of Medicine\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;en 1975 fue el primer gran desafío a la visión tradicional.[8]&nbsp; Defendió la eutanasia como igual de humana y, por tanto, moralmente aceptable que el uso de medios pasivos para matar.&nbsp; Para él, no hay distinción moral entre ambas.&nbsp; Más recientemente, los argumentos expuestos por los tribunales de apelación del 2.º&nbsp;y 9.º circuito (en Nueva York y Washington respectivamente) también han intentado argumentar que el derecho protegido constitucionalmente que tienen los pacientes a rechazar el tratamiento que sostiene la vida debería extenderse al derecho al PAS, porque ambas decisiones son altamente personales y no deberían estar prohibidas por la ley.[9]&nbsp; “El núcleo de la queja es que la visión tradicional descarta arbitrariamente todos los casos de actuar intencionadamente para poner fin a la vida, pero permite lo que es, de hecho, el equivalente moral, dejar morir a las personas”.[10]&nbsp; Tal comparación es bastante problemática por las siguientes razones.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Debe concederse a Rachels que la retención o la retirada del tratamiento médico&nbsp;\u003Cem>puede\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;estar motivada por el deseo de provocar la muerte de una persona,[11]&nbsp;pero hay que insistir en que no es&nbsp;\u003Cem>siempre\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;el caso.&nbsp; Rachels no permite esto, no admite que el motivo de la omisión pueda ser otro que causar la muerte, mientras que el motivo de la eutanasia activa no puede ser otro que la muerte.&nbsp; Escribiendo en respuesta directa a Rachels,&nbsp; Thomas Sullivan lo expone con claridad.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La visión tradicional es que la terminación intencional de la vida humana es inadmisible, independientemente de que este objetivo se logre mediante una acción o una omisión.&nbsp; ¿La acción u omisión está&nbsp;\u003Cem>dirigida\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;\u003Cem>a\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;producir una muerte? ¿Se busca, se elige o se planea la terminación de la vida?&nbsp; ¿Es la intención mortal?&nbsp; Si es así, el acto u omisión es incorrecto.&nbsp; Pero todos sabemos que es totalmente posible que la negativa de un médico a utilizar medios extraordinarios para preservar la vida no esté motivada por la determinación de provocar la muerte, sino por otros motivos.[12]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sullivan da entonces ejemplos.&nbsp; “[el médico] puede darse cuenta de que el tratamiento adicional puede ofrecer pocas esperanzas de revertir el proceso de morir y\u002Fo ser angustioso . . . pero ciertamente no se deduce del hecho de que tenga la intención de provocar la muerte”.[13]&nbsp; Sullivan presenta la analogía de que es muy posible omitir una acción sabiendo que puede tener ciertas consecuencias, pero no necesariamente desear esas consecuencias.&nbsp; Por ejemplo, los estadounidenses eligen constantemente no comer de forma saludable&nbsp;o hacer ejercicio, sabiendo que tales omisiones&nbsp;\u003Cem>pueden\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;resultar en enfermedad y muerte prematura, pero esto no significa que esas consecuencias fueran deseadas cuando se eligieron las omisiones.&nbsp; “No es el caso”, escribe, “que todas las consecuencias previsibles y los efectos secundarios de nuestra conducta sean necesariamente intencionados”.[14]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thomas Beauchamp, también en respuesta directa a Rachels, reconoce asimismo que las omisiones pasivas pueden estar motivadas por el deseo de causar la muerte, pero Rachels y los de su calaña deben admitir que este no es&nbsp;\u003Cem>necesariamente\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;el caso.&nbsp; Por ejemplo, Beauchamp se refiere al caso de Karen Ann Quinlan, cuyo padre declaró en una entrevista que no intentaba causar la muerte de su hija, sino que quería “retirarla de las máquinas para ver si viviría o moriría de muerte natural”.[15]&nbsp;&nbsp;Afirma que aunque existen situaciones difíciles en las que se retira el tratamiento, “no&nbsp;\u003Cem>sabemos\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;que la recuperación sea empíricamente imposible, aunque se disponga de buena evidencia.&nbsp;[16]&nbsp;&nbsp;Concluye: “La terminación activa de la vida elimina toda posibilidad de vida del paciente, mientras que el cese pasivo de medios extraordinarios puede no hacerlo”.[17]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Por tanto, tanto desde el punto de vista médico como ético, debe mantenerse la distinción activo\u002Fpasivo, o mejor la distinción matar\u002Fdejar morir.&nbsp; Aunque es posible que la omisión del tratamiento esté motivada por el deseo de que se produzca la muerte, no impide una posible recuperación; matar activamente a un paciente, en cambio, excluye absolutamente la posibilidad de recuperación, y el resultado de tal acción es invariablemente hacer que el paciente muera.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>CAPÍTULO 3\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>¿ES LA SEDACIÓN TERMINAL EQUIVALENTE A LA EUTANASIA ACTIVA?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Otro tema importante que abordar en la discusión es si la administración de una dosis de medicamento lo suficientemente fuerte como para matar el dolor, pero que también puede matar inadvertidamente al paciente, equivale a la eutanasia activa.&nbsp; El debate sobre la “sedación terminal” aún está en sus primeras etapas, pero sin duda hay que trazar una línea muy fina.&nbsp; Es quizás el nivel más controvertido de los cuidados paliativos. “El Dr. Robert J. Kingsbury considera este nivel de atención coherente con los principios bíblicos, porque el médico que aplica el medicamento lo hace para cumplir el mandato del médico de beneficiar al paciente y no causarle daño.[18]&nbsp; Escribe:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La sedación terminal es una adición reciente al léxico de los cuidados paliativos . . . una encuesta a 61 expertos seleccionados en cuidados paliativos llegó a la siguiente definición: “la sedación terminal consiste en inducir y mantener deliberadamente un sueño profundo, pero no en causar deliberadamente la muerte en circunstancias muy específicas”. Las “circunstancias específicas” se definieron como síntomas intratables al final de la vida . . . para los que las intervenciones estándar de cuidados paliativos no habían logrado un alivio adecuado.[19]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Aunque podría cuestionarse si la sedación en sí acelera la muerte, Kingsbury cita un estudio que “no mostró diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la supervivencia desde la fecha de admisión entre los pacientes sedados y los no sedados”, concluyendo que “la necesidad de\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>sedación es un indicador de muerte inminente y no una causa de muerte prematura”.[20]&nbsp; Kingsbury observa:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Los pacientes que pasan sus últimas horas o días sedados están muy enfermos.&nbsp; Incluso antes de ser sedados, estos pacientes ingieren cantidades de comida y bebida por debajo de lo estándar, y la hidratación y nutrición artificiales suelen estar contraindicadas porque aumentarían el riesgo de edema pulmonar y otros efectos adversos.[21]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kingsbury responde a quienes critican esta metodología para el manejo del dolor intenso como una forma de eutanasia, llamada por algunos “eutanasia lenta”.&nbsp; La objeción es que la intención es difícil de medir, y lo único que importa es el resultado, que es, a saber, la muerte.&nbsp; Kingsbury, sin embargo, rebate esto e insiste en que la intención del médico, aunque en su mayor parte se desconoce, puede medirse objetivamente hasta cierto punto al afirmar que\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>los analgésicos o sedantes se administran únicamente para el alivio del dolor o el malestar si se&nbsp;\u003Cem>titulan para alcanzar objetivos específicos\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;(como la ausencia de muecas o gemidos en pacientes incapaces de informar sobre el dolor) y no más allá.&nbsp; En cambio, la administración rápida de medicación&nbsp;\u003Cem>sin esfuerzo de titulación\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;indica que la aceleración de la muerte era la primera intención.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kingsbury ha señalado no solo una distinción importante, sino que también ha proporcionado un estándar objetivo para determinar la intención en cierta medida.&nbsp; Luego explica concienzudamente cómo tal intervención es coherente con una perspectiva bíblica al afirmar primero su creencia en la santidad de la vida humana como creada a&nbsp;\u003Cem>imago Dei\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;y la consiguiente responsabilidad que tienen los médicos no solo con sus pacientes, sino con Dios, que es el dador de toda vida.&nbsp; Defiende esta práctica como sufrimiento con (verdadera compasión) los pacientes.&nbsp; En su práctica asegura a los pacientes que el hospicio es una “zona libre de eutanasia” y que pueden ser sedados si así lo eligen, y dormirán hasta que mueran.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Parece que las Escrituras apoyan el principio de los cuidados paliativos y, por implicación, la sedación terminal.&nbsp; En Proverbios 31:6-7 encontramos la siguiente instrucción a un rey.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dad bebida fuerte al que perece, y vino a los que tienen amargura de corazón.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Que beba y olvide su pobreza, y no recuerde más su miseria.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La instrucción es que los reyes no deben beber vino ni bebida fuerte, ya que esto distorsiona el juicio moral y, por lo tanto, conduce a la perversión de la justicia social.&nbsp; Sin embargo, este mismo tipo de bebida es legítimo para quien está muriendo, para que el individuo pueda olvidar su condición empobrecida y miserable.&nbsp; Parecería posible que los narcóticos utilizados en la sedación terminal sean consistentes con esta idea bíblica.&nbsp; A quienes sufren en su agonía se les debe administrar algún tipo de sustancia para ayudarlos a “olvidar” su condición empobrecida y miserable, y, por implicación, morir con el menor sufrimiento posible.&nbsp; Implícitamente también está la idea de que matar activamente a una persona en tal estado está prohibido.&nbsp; No hay sugerencia de suicidio o suicidio asistido en este texto, pero parecería bastante apropiado al contexto si se le diera tal sanción divina.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La discusión sobre la sedación terminal está, como ya se ha indicado, en sus etapas más tempranas.&nbsp;

Il est important de distinguer clairement entre l’idée de tuer activement et celle de laisser mourir.&nbsp; La raison en est que cette dernière a traditionnellement été considérée comme une « bonne médecine »[1].&nbsp; Il arrive un moment où le chrétien doit accepter l’inévitabilité de la mort et laisser la maladie ou la blessure sous-jacente suivre son cours.&nbsp; John Frame, en considérant les données bibliques sur ce point, déclare,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La mort est, bien sûr, le dernier ennemi (1 Co 15:26), mais elle n’est pas pour autant toujours à combattre.&nbsp; Le peuple de Dieu peut accepter la mort parce qu’il aspire à la certitude d’une communion immédiate avec Dieu et à la résurrection future du corps.&nbsp; Ils ne sont pas suicidaires, mais lorsque leur vie touche manifestement à sa fin, ils ne cherchent pas désespérément, contre toute probabilité naturelle, à la prolonger.[2]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dans la même ligne, Farley remarque : « Chaque personne a une valeur absolue, et la vie de chacun a une valeur absolue, pourtant d’autres choses que la vie sont parfois plus précieuses.&nbsp; La vie humaine mérite le respect ; elle a même un caractère sacré ; mais la mort peut parfois être bienvenue ».[3]&nbsp; Un sens chrétien de la destinée implique « l’espérance » dans la vie éternelle, ou la résurrection.&nbsp; La résurrection du croyant est garantie sur la base de la résurrection du Christ[4].&nbsp; Mais chercher la mort n’est pas la même chose que l’accepter.&nbsp; « L’Écriture présente toujours le meurtre par compassion sous un jour négatif », affirme Frame.[5]&nbsp; Il montre comment les personnes qui cherchaient à se suicider ou à faire tuer par autrui sont « toujours considérées comme désobéissantes ».&nbsp; Le suicide — le fait de se tuer soi-même — contredit l’amour-propre légitime que l’Écriture « suppose et commande ».&nbsp; La souffrance ne rend pas une vie dénuée de sens ou sans valeur (ce qu’il est tout aussi important que le souffrant le sache que ceux qui s’en occupent), et puisque nos vies ne nous appartiennent pas, elles ne sont pas à notre disposition.[6]&nbsp; De même que nous n’avons pas le droit de tuer autrui, nous n’avons pas le droit de nous tuer nous-mêmes.&nbsp; Comme indiqué plus haut, Dieu seul a ce droit.&nbsp; Frame conclut : « Ainsi, “laisser mourir” est parfois justifié, alors que “tuer” ne l’est jamais ».[7]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pourtant, les partisans de l’euthanasie active se réfèrent effectivement aux formes plus « passives » de laisser mourir pour justifier le suicide assisté par un médecin.&nbsp; Ils le font en affirmant qu’une distinction impertinente a été établie entre les deux.&nbsp; Un article écrit par James Rachels dans \u003Cem>The New England Journal of Medicine\u003C\u002Fem> en 1975 a été le premier défi majeur à la vision traditionnelle.[8]&nbsp; Il défendait l’euthanasie comme étant tout aussi humaine et donc moralement acceptable que l’utilisation de moyens passifs pour tuer.&nbsp; Pour lui, il n’y a pas de distinction morale entre les deux.&nbsp; Plus récemment, les arguments avancés par les 2e et 9e Cours d’appel fédérales (respectivement à New York et à Washington) ont également tenté de soutenir que le droit constitutionnellement protégé des patients de refuser un traitement de maintien en vie devrait être étendu au droit au suicide assisté par un médecin, car les deux décisions sont hautement personnelles et ne devraient pas être interdites par la loi.[9]&nbsp; « Le cœur de la plainte est que la vision traditionnelle exclut arbitrairement tous les cas d’action intentionnelle pour mettre fin à la vie, mais permet ce qui est, en fait, l’équivalent moral, laisser les gens mourir ».[10]&nbsp; Une telle comparaison pose problème pour les raisons suivantes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il faut concéder à Rachels que le refus ou l’arrêt du traitement médical \u003Cem>peut\u003C\u002Fem> être motivé par le désir de provoquer la mort d’une personne,[11] mais il faut insister sur le fait que ce n’est pas \u003Cem>toujours\u003C\u002Fem> le cas.&nbsp; Rachels ne permet pas cela, il n’admet pas que le motif de l’omission puisse être autre que de causer la mort, alors que le motif de l’euthanasie active ne peut être que la mort.&nbsp; Écrivant en réponse directe à Rachels, Thomas Sullivan met cela en perspective claire.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La vision traditionnelle est que la fin intentionnelle de la vie humaine est inadmissible, que cet objectif soit atteint par une action ou par une inaction.&nbsp; L’action ou l’abstention est-elle \u003Cem>visée\u003C\u002Fem> \u003Cem>à\u003C\u002Fem> produire une mort ? La fin de la vie est-elle \u003Cem>recherchée, choisie ou planifiée\u003C\u002Fem> ? L’intention est-elle mortelle ? Si oui, l’acte ou l’omission est répréhensible.&nbsp; Mais nous savons tous qu’il est tout à fait possible que le refus d’un médecin d’utiliser des moyens extraordinaires pour préserver la vie soit motivé non par une détermination à provoquer la mort, mais par d’autres motifs.[12]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sullivan donne ensuite des exemples.&nbsp; « [le médecin] peut réaliser que le traitement ultérieur n’offre que peu d’espoir d’inverser le processus de mort et\u002Fou peut être atroce… mais il ne s’ensuit certainement pas que son intention soit de provoquer la mort ».[13]&nbsp; Sullivan présente l’analogie qu’il est tout à fait possible d’omettre une action en sachant que cela peut entraîner certaines conséquences, sans nécessairement désirer ces conséquences.&nbsp; Par exemple, les Américains choisissent constamment de ne pas manger sainement ou de ne pas faire d’exercice, sachant que de telles omissions \u003Cem>peuvent\u003C\u002Fem> entraîner une maladie et une mort prématurée, mais cela ne signifie pas que ces conséquences étaient désirées lorsque les omissions ont été choisies.&nbsp; « Il n’est pas vrai », écrit-il, « que toutes les conséquences prévisibles et les effets secondaires de notre conduite soient nécessairement intentionnels ».[14]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thomas Beauchamp, également en réponse directe à Rachels, concède de même que les omissions passives peuvent être motivées par le désir de causer la mort, mais Rachels et ses semblables doivent admettre que ce n’est pas \u003Cem>nécessairement\u003C\u002Fem> le cas. Par exemple, Beauchamp fait référence au cas de Karen Ann Quinlan, dont le père a déclaré dans une interview qu’il n’essayait pas de causer la mort de sa fille, mais plutôt de « la retirer des machines afin de voir si elle vivrait ou mourrait d’une mort naturelle ».[15] Il affirme que bien qu’il existe des situations difficiles dans lesquelles le traitement est retiré, « nous ne \u003Cem>savons pas\u003C\u002Fem> que le rétablissement est empiriquement impossible, même si de bonnes preuves sont disponibles ».[16] Il conclut : « La fin active de la vie supprime toute possibilité de vie pour le patient, tandis que l’arrêt passif de moyens extraordinaires peut ne pas le faire ».[17]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ainsi, d’un point de vue médical et éthique, la distinction actif\u002Fpassif, ou mieux la distinction tuer\u002Flaisser mourir, doit être maintenue. Bien qu’il soit possible que l’omission de traitement soit motivée par le désir que la mort en résulte, elle n’empêche pas une récupération possible ; tuer activement un patient, en revanche, exclut absolument la possibilité de récupération, et le résultat d’une telle action est invariablement de rendre le patient mort.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>CHAPITRE 3\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>LA SÉDATION TERMINALE EST-ELLE ÉQUIVALENTE À UNE EUTHANASIE ACTIVE ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Une autre question importante à aborder dans la discussion est de savoir si l’administration d’une dose de médicament suffisamment forte pour tuer la douleur, mais qui peut aussi tuer accidentellement le patient, équivaut à une euthanasie active. Le débat concernant la « sédation terminale » en est encore à ses débuts, mais il ne fait aucun doute qu’une ligne fine doit être tracée ici. C’est peut-être le niveau de soins palliatifs le plus controversé. « Le Dr Robert J. Kingsbury considère ce niveau de soins comme étant conforme aux principes bibliques, car le médecin qui administre le médicament le fait pour remplir le mandat du médecin consistant à faire du bien au patient et à ne pas lui nuire.[18] Il écrit,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La sédation terminale est un ajout récent au lexique des soins palliatifs… une enquête auprès de 61 experts sélectionnés en soins palliatifs a abouti à la définition suivante : « la sédation terminale consiste à induire et à maintenir délibérément un sommeil profond sans causer délibérément la mort dans des circonstances très spécifiques ». Les « circonstances spécifiques » ont été définies comme des symptômes réfractaires en fin de vie… pour lesquels les interventions standard de soins palliatifs n’avaient pas permis un soulagement adéquat.[19]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Bien qu’on puisse se demander si la sédation elle-même accélère la mort, Kingsbury cite une étude qui « n’a montré aucune différence statistiquement significative en termes de survie à compter de la date d’admission entre les patients sédatés et non sédatés », concluant que « le besoin de\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>sédation est un indicateur de mort imminente et non une cause de mort prématurée ».[20] Kingsbury observe,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>« Les patients qui passent leurs dernières heures ou jours sous sédation sont très malades. Même avant d’être sédatés, ces patients consomment des quantités insuffisantes de nourriture et de boisson, et l’hydratation et la nutrition artificielles sont généralement contre-indiquées car elles augmenteraient le risque d’œdème pulmonaire et d’autres effets indésirables.[21]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kingsbury répond à ceux qui critiquent cette méthode de gestion de la douleur sévère comme une forme d’euthanasie, qualifiée par certains de « euthanasie lente ». L’objection est que l’intention est difficile à mesurer, et que seul le résultat compte, à savoir la mort. Kingsbury, cependant, réfute cette objection et insiste sur le fait que l’intention du médecin, bien qu’inconnue pour l’essentiel, peut être mesurée objectivement dans une certaine mesure en affirmant que\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>les analgésiques ou les sédatifs ne sont administrés que pour soulager la douleur ou la détresse s’ils sont \u003Cem>titrés pour atteindre des objectifs spécifiques\u003C\u002Fem> (tels que l’absence de grimaces ou de gémissements chez les patients incapables de signaler la douleur) et pas au-delà. En revanche, l’administration rapide d’un médicament \u003Cem>sans effort de titration\u003C\u002Fem> indique que l’accélération de la mort était la première intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kingsbury a non seulement souligné une distinction importante, mais a également fourni un standard objectif pour déterminer l’intention dans une certaine mesure. Il explique ensuite consciencieusement comment une telle intervention est cohérente avec une perspective biblique en affirmant d’abord sa croyance en la sainteté de la vie humaine créée à \u003Cem>l’image de Dieu\u003C\u002Fem> et la responsabilité qui en découle pour les médecins non seulement envers leurs patients, mais aussi envers Dieu qui est le donneur de toute vie. Il défend cette pratique comme une souffrance avec les patients (vraie compassion). Dans sa pratique, il assure aux patients que l’hospice est une « zone sans euthanasie » et qu’ils peuvent être sédatés s’ils le souhaitent, et qu’ils dormiront jusqu’à leur mort.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il semble que les Écritures soutiennent le principe des soins palliatifs, et par implication, la sédation terminale. Dans Proverbes 31:6-7, nous trouvons l’instruction suivante adressée à un roi.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Donne des boissons fortes à celui qui périt, et du vin à ceux qui ont l’amertume au cœur.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qu’il boive et oublie sa pauvreté, et ne se souvienne plus de sa misère.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>L'instruction est que les rois ne doivent pas boire de vin ou de boissons fortes car cela altère le jugement moral, et conduit ainsi à la perversion de la justice sociale.&nbsp; Néanmoins, ce même type de boisson est légitime pour celui qui est en train de mourir, afin que l'individu puisse oublier sa condition appauvrie et misérable.&nbsp; Il semblerait possible que les narcotiques utilisés dans la sédation terminale soient cohérents avec cette idée biblique.&nbsp; Ceux qui souffrent dans leur agonie doivent recevoir une certaine substance pour les aider à «&nbsp;oublier&nbsp;» leur condition appauvrie et misérable, et, par implication, mourir avec le moins de souffrance possible.&nbsp; Est également implicite l'idée qu'il est interdit de tuer activement une personne dans un tel état.&nbsp; Il n'y a aucune suggestion de suicide ou de suicide assisté dans ce texte, mais il semblerait tout à fait approprié au contexte si une telle chose était sanctionnée divinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La discussion sur la sédation terminale est, comme déjà indiqué, à ses tout premiers stades.&nbsp; Elle est pratiquée par des médecins chrétiens qui cherchent à soulager la souffrance des mourants sans les tuer délibérément ou franchir le pas vers l'euthanasie.&nbsp; Pourtant, le lecteur doit savoir que cette pratique est encore sous l'examen des chrétiens de la communauté médicale qui l'assimilent à l'euthanasie active, ou qui y voient au moins une pente glissante menant à celle-ci.[22]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr>\u003Cp>[1]&nbsp;Koop et Johnson, 48.&nbsp; Koop relate un cas dans lequel il a retiré les traitements d'une fillette de trois ans qui mourait d'une tumeur abdominale.&nbsp; Poursuivre les traitements lui aurait donné trois mois supplémentaires, mais cette période aurait été très douloureuse, tandis que le retrait des traitements signifierait que le cancer causerait la mort en environ six semaines, mais avec relativement peu de douleur et de souffrance.&nbsp; Koop estime : «&nbsp;Je ne pense pas que ce soit de l'euthanasie ; je pense que c'est de la bonne médecine.&nbsp; Je pense que c'est de la bonne médecine pour l'enfant, pour la famille et pour nous tous.&nbsp;»\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\">\u003C\u002Fa>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[2] John M.

Dr. Robert J. Kingsbury는 이 수준의 치료가 성경적 원리와 일치한다고 보는데, 약물을 적용하는 의사가 환자에게 유익을 주고 해를 끼치지 않는다는 의사의 의무를 이행하기 때문이라고 한다.[18] 그는 다음과 같이 쓴다.\n\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>말기 진정은 완화 치료의 어휘에 최근 추가된 용어이다 . . . 61명의 선정된 완화 치료 전문가를 대상으로 한 설문조사에서 다음과 같은 정의가 도출되었다: ‘말기 진정은 매우 특정한 상황에서 죽음을 의도적으로 초래하지는 않으면서 깊은 수면을 의도적으로 유도하고 유지하는 것이다.’ ‘특정한 상황’은 표준 완화 치료 개입이 적절한 완화를 제공하지 못한 생애 말기에서의 난치성 증상으로 정의되었다.[19]\n\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>진정 자체가 죽음을 앞당길 수 있는지에 대해 의문이 제기될 수 있지만, Kingsbury는 “진정된 환자와 진정되지 않은 환자 사이에 입원일로부터의 생존율에서 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 없음”을 보여준 연구를 인용하며, “진정의 필요성은 조기 사망의 원인이 아니라 임박한 죽음의 지표”라고 결론짓는다.[20] Kingsbury는 다음과 같이 관찰한다.\n\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“마지막 몇 시간 또는 며칠을 진정된 상태로 보내는 환자들은 매우 아프다. 진정되기 전에도 이 환자들은 표준 이하의 양을 먹고 마시고 있으며, 폐부종 및 기타 부작용의 위험을 증가시킬 수 있기 때문에 인공 수분 공급과 영양 공급은 보통 금기시된다.[21]\n\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kingsbury는 심한 통증을 관리하기 위한 이 방법론을 일부 사람들이 ‘느린 안락사’라고 부르는 안락사의 한 형태로 비판하는 사람들에게 답한다. 반대 의견은 의도가 측정하기 어렵고, 중요한 것은 결과, 즉 죽음이라는 것이다. 그러나 Kingsbury는 이에 반박하며, 의사의 의도는 대부분 알려지지 않았지만, 어느 정도 객관적으로 측정할 수 있다고 주장한다.\n\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>진통제나 진정제는 통증이나 고통을 완화하기 위해서만 투여되며, 이는 환자가 통증을 보고할 수 없는 경우에도 찡그림이나 신음의 부재와 같은 특정한 목표를 달성하기 위해 \u003Cem>적정\u003C\u002Fem>되고 그 이상은 투여되지 않는다. 반면, \u003Cem>적정하려는 노력 없이\u003C\u002Fem> 약물을 신속하게 투여하는 것은 죽음을 앞당기는 것이 첫 번째 의도였음을 나타낸다.\n\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kingsbury는 중요한 구분을 지적했을 뿐만 아니라, 어느 정도 의도를 결정하기 위한 객관적인 기준을 제공했다. 그런 다음 그는 인간의 생명이 \u003Cem>imago Dei\u003C\u002Fem>로 창조되었다는 성결함에 대한 믿음을 먼저 확인하고, 의사들이 환자뿐만 아니라 모든 생명의 주관자이신 하나님께도 책임이 있다는 점을 확인함으로써 이러한 개입이 성경적 관점과 일치함을 성실하게 설명한다. 그는 이 관행을 환자들과 함께 고통받는 것(진정한 연민)으로 옹호한다. 그의 진료에서 그는 호스피스가 ‘안락사 없는 구역’이며, 환자들이 원한다면 진정될 수 있으며, 죽을 때까지 잠을 자게 될 것이라고 환자들에게 확신시킨다.\n\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>성경은 완화 치료의 원칙과 함의적으로 말기 진정을 지지하는 것으로 보인다. 잠언 31:6-7에서 우리는 왕에게 다음과 같은 지침을 발견한다.\n\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>죽어가는 자에게 독한 술을, 마음이 괴로운 자에게 포도주를 주라.\n\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>그로 하여금 마시고 자기의 빈곤을 잊게 하며, 자기의 고통을 다시 기억하지 못하게 하라.\n\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>왕들은 포도주나 독주를 마시지 말아야 하는데, 이는 도덕적 판단을 왜곡시켜 사회 정의를 왜곡하는 결과를 초래하기 때문이다.&nbsp; 그럼에도 불구하고, 이와 같은 종류의 술은 죽어가는 사람에게는 정당한 것으로, 그 개인이 자신의 가난하고 비참한 상태를 잊을 수 있게 한다.&nbsp; 말기 진정에 사용되는 마약이 이 성경적 개념과 일치할 가능성이 있어 보인다.&nbsp; 죽어가는 과정에서 고통받는 사람들에게는 그들의 가난하고 비참한 상태를 “잊게” 도와주는 어떤 물질을 주어야 하며, 암시적으로 가능한 한 고통 없이 죽을 수 있게 해야 한다.&nbsp; 또한, 그러한 상태에 있는 사람을 적극적으로 죽이는 것은 금지되어 있다는 생각도 내포되어 있다.&nbsp; 이 본문에는 자살이나 조력자살에 대한 암시는 없지만, 그러한 행위가 신의 승인을 받는다면 문맥에 상당히 적합할 것으로 보인다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>말기 진정에 관한 논의는 이미 지적한 바와 같이, 아직 초기 단계에 있다.&nbsp; 이는 기독교인 의사들이 죽어가는 사람들의 고통을 적극적으로 죽이거나 안락사로 넘어가지 않고 완화하려는 노력으로 실천되고 있다.&nbsp; 그러나 독자는 이 관행이 여전히 기독교 의료계에서 적극적 안락사와 동일시하거나, 적어도 그로 이어지는 미끄러운 경사로 보는 기독교인들의 감시를 받고 있다는 점을 알아야 한다.[22]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr>\u003Cp>[1]&nbsp;Koop and Johnson, 48.&nbsp; Koop relates a case in which he withdrew treatments from a three-year-old girl who was dying of an abdominal tumor.&nbsp; To continue treatments would have given her three more months, but this time would be very painful, while withdrawing treatments would mean that the cancer would cause death in about six weeks, but relatively little pain and suffering would be experienced.&nbsp; Koop opines, “I don’t think that’s euthanasia; I think it’s good medicine.&nbsp; I think its good medicine for the child, for the family and for all of us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\">\u003C\u002Fa>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[2] John M.

To more and more persons, it appears that the only way to retain some control over our death—to&nbsp;die a death marked by conscious self-awareness, with knowledge of our ending, surrounded by those we love—is to take our death into our own hands.[3]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Consequently, she, although opposed herself, understands why people might consider physician-assisted-suicide (hence PAS) and voluntary active euthanasia (hence euthanasia)&nbsp; The fear of the over all loss of autonomy and control, and, more commonly, of being a burden to one’s loved ones, are driving forces behind the increasing willingness to vie for euthanasia, especially PAS, as a legitimate option when one approaches the end of life. &nbsp;The prevalence of this sentiment can be seen in a March 1996&nbsp;\u003Cem>Washington Post\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;report in which 51 percent of Americans polled favored &nbsp;PAS.—among men 54 percent polled favored it; among women, 47 percent.[4]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;In view of this increasing allure of euthanasia and PAS, Christians must ask themselves what it means not to “be conformed to this world,” with regard to how we think about and approach end of life issues.&nbsp; How should the church think about death, or more to the point, dying, and what measures should be taken when facing life’s end?&nbsp; How shall we choose when it comes to questions of autonomy, palliative care, terminal sedation, the refusal of treatment, the right to die, and a whole company of other such issues that are nearly unavoidable concerns when it comes to the end of life?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;The following will attempt to address some of the common and more difficult issues that arise at the end of life, and how the church can develop cogent moral and ministerial responses in a culture which increasingly seems to be favoring death.&nbsp; What the church must do is defend a position of affirming life, the sanctity of human life as that which is exclusively created in the image of God, and applying this view to practical situations.&nbsp; The final chapter and conclusion of this essay will explore more concrete ways in which the church can draw upon rich biblical resources while offering practical alternatives to the culture of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>CHAPTER 1\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>ASSISTED SUICIDE AND AUTONOMY:&nbsp; AN APPRAISAL\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Being a Christian means having confidence of our future hope in heaven once we die, but this awareness does not necessarily make the dying process any easier, nor does it immunize believers from struggling with similar fears and questions enumerated in the introduction.&nbsp; Christians can be tempted to give in to the cultural pressures around them when it comes to the potential misery and suffering of the dying process.&nbsp; After all, we are also human and, although carefree about what becomes of us&nbsp;\u003Cem>after\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;we die, we do not necessarily feel any different from others about dying.&nbsp; Arthur J. Dyck has noted that Christians are not “immune from the kind of thinking that has come to link compassion with ending the life of one whose suffering is thought to have no more meaning, or whose life is thought to be such that the efforts to alleviate suffering are no longer worth the time and trouble.”[5]&nbsp; No one, whether Christian or not,&nbsp; really wants to be indefinitely kept alive through artificial means, or burdensomely hooked up to tubes. &nbsp;&nbsp;No one wants to continue in a suspended state of life sustained only by machines that vicariously perform the roles of our autonomic nervous system, with recovery highly unlikely.&nbsp; Consequently, we are forced to consider the morality of end-of-life issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;As stated in the introduction, with the possibility of great indignity the temptation is significant, even for professing Christians, to consider the offerings of assisted suicide and active euthanasia.&nbsp; One such proponent, writing from an allegedly Christian position, is Mark A. Duntley Jr.&nbsp; He suggests that PAS is a viable alternative for the Christian and society as a whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;“There are cases where assisted suicide is wrong, and there are also cases where assisted suicide is right. The only way we can be sure we are not missing the mark concerning assisted suicide is to get beyond merely saying no, we need to understand that in prolonging life, modern medicine has changed forever the way we die.&nbsp; We need to rediscover that mercy should lie at the heart of how we care for the dying. Then we can move beyond the simple rejection of assisted suicide and begin to watch with open spirits for those times when merciful care for dying persons involves helping them die assisted suicide can indeed be a Christian moral response&nbsp; to the question ‘How shall we die?”[6]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Duntley defends the position that, due to the same dilemmas considered earlier, assisted suicide can be a “right” choice at times.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;As the boundaries of life are extended by modern medicine, and we are faced more frequently with the suffering involved in dying slowly from a terminal disease, we should begin to question whether preserving life and making someone as comfortable as possible are the primary principles that should guide us in care for the dying.[7]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Seeking to make the case for assisted suicide from a biblical perspective, Duntley draws upon the concept of mercy as displayed in the commitment of a covenantal relationship.&nbsp; Mercy is demonstrated in compassion, he claims, and sees Jesus as the ultimate model for such mercy.&nbsp; “We find his covenantal relationships and acts of mercy linked through his deep compassion for others.”[8]&nbsp; He then refers to Jesus as the model of such mercy acting in compassion when He is seen, “healing the blind, feeding the multitudes and even raising the dead.”[9] &nbsp;Yet strangely missing from this account of Jesus’ merciful acts, is an instance when He, out of compassion, killed someone, or insisted that this was the right course of action. &nbsp;Having no biblical instance to refer to prove his point, Duntley steps outside the Bible and &nbsp;uses the case of Dr. Timothy Quill as a praiseworthy example of how mercy and compassion, resulting in assisted suicide, might be played out in a doctor-patient relationship.&nbsp; He relates how, in 1971 Dr. Timothy Quill, wrote about overcoming his intuitive qualms about assisting a patient in dying, and, for the first time, prescribed the pills needed to help his patient end her own life.&nbsp; [10]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Diane was a middle-aged leukemia patient who did not want to take a 25 percent chance of recovery through chemo-therapy, and instead chose to end her own life.&nbsp; Dr Quill, who admits that it was, at first difficult to consider, became convinced that this was “the right decision for her, ”[11]&nbsp; He reported feeling “uneasy about the boundaries I was exploring—spiritual, legal, professional, and personal,”[12] yet was torn because he also “felt strongly that I was setting her free to get the most out of the time she had left, and to maintain dignity and control on her own terms until her death.”[13]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Another professed Christian who sees no problem with entertaining the possibility of assisted suicide is Dr. Timothy Johnson, an ordained minister in the Evangelical Covenant Church, best known for being the medical editor for ABC News.&nbsp; Johnson, in a debate with former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, stated, “I personally believe that helping someone die in peace and without pain, even if that might hasten the biological timetable of death by a few hours or even days is not only acceptable it is mandatory for modern medical care.”[14] &nbsp;That he includes in this assisted suicide is evident when he states,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;While I personally gag at the idea of helping a person to commit suicide, I am at least willing to theoretically consider the possibility under very limited circumstances. &nbsp;I say this because I have always believed that a physician has a dual role: to preserve life&nbsp;\u003Cem>and\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;prevent suffering. And I believe that both are equally valid and sometimes in conflict.&nbsp; Let me emphasize that I am willing to consider physician assisted suicide&nbsp;\u003Cem>only in situations of clearly terminal illness in which there is no hope of ultimate recovery\u003C\u002Fem>.[15]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;To buttress this proposition, Johnson, like Duntley, refers to the case of Dr. Quill.&nbsp; He cites, with sympathy, the actions of Quill, and says that such a decision was a “careful and thoughtful action.”[16]&nbsp; While he himself would not advocate the legalization of physician-assisted-suicide because there are “too many moral dangers that outweigh its possible benefits,”[17] Dr. Johnson would not condemn fellow physicians, like Quill, who may come to other conclusions.&nbsp; He comes to this position “reluctantly” because he feels sympathy for&nbsp;“people who feel they have no control over their dying”[18] and states that Diane, the woman Quill assisted in suicide, was able to “maintain dignity and control on her own terms until her death.”[19]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;By way of critique, for both Duntley and Johnson to try to argue as Christians for assisted suicide, citing the experience and actions of Dr. Quill as a paradigm, is quite misguided.&nbsp; First, Quill is in no way informed by a Christian view of dying and death.&nbsp; In fact, at the end of his reflection about his experience with Diane, he approvingly quotes her about, after dying as being “at her favorite spot on the shore of Lake Geneva at sunset, with dragons swimming on the horizon.”[20]&nbsp; So first of all, in his final reflections on the death of this patient, he comes to a rather pagan, conclusion, and thus one that is inconsistent with Christian eschatology\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;A second reason that Quill is not a good example for the Christian to follow is due to his focus on Diane’s autonomy as a patient. &nbsp;From the standpoint of the patient this raises the issue of the degree of autonomy we have when it comes to our dying, and whether this is compatible with a Christian view of life.&nbsp; While we live in a highly litigious society, and must insist on our autonomy and freedom, because we are Christians, we must admit that our autonomy is actually quite limited, especially in terms of our dying.&nbsp; Theologically we must accept that God, alone, is sovereign over our life and death, which means that God alone has the prerogative to end our lives, and we do not share that authority.[21]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;This is an era in medicine when one of the most important principles is patient autonomy.&nbsp; Agneta Sutton writes, “The legal recognition of the right to euthanasia is based on an assumption that it is the prerogative of autonomous agents (in this case, patients) to claim that what they desire is right for them and should therefore be granted without question.”[22] &nbsp;This is the assumption which drove Dr. Quill to the violation of his own conscience; he believed that Diane was the only one whose thinking was to be considered in this decision about her own death.&nbsp; Sutton suggests that patients now see themselves as consumers and their doctors as providers who must, when they make the demand, give them what they request.[23]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;As far as how Christians should be thinking about autonomy, it is true that, especially as Americans, we do have certain legal freedoms, but we must ever acknowledge that God is the ultimate authority when it comes to all of our decisions, including those about our dying.&nbsp; John F. Kilner puts the issue bluntly when he states, “to assume&nbsp;\u003Cem>ultimate\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;responsibility for one’s life [by deciding when it should end] is to reject God, no matter when, in the course of life, one elects to do so.”[24]&nbsp; The necessary perspective for the believer is that we are, as Paul said, “not our own”&nbsp; Our focus must not be upon human autonomy, as a principle inferred through unaided human reason, but rather divine authority evinced clearly in divine revelation.&nbsp; We are not self-determined sovereigns who depend solely on our reason to make decisions, but rather submissive stewards who look to God’s revelation where we discover that our Maker reserves the right to end a human life and forbids homicide.[25]&nbsp; Lest the reader think that this notion of God’s ultimate sovereignty is understood only by Christians, and thus suspect, even Hemlock society founder Derek Humphry affirmed this position when in the introduction of his book&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003Cem>Final Exit\u003C\u002Fem>, addresses his readers saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;If you wish to deliberately leave this world [but are not on any kind of life-support] then active euthanasia is your only avenue.&nbsp; Read on carefully. (If you consider God the master of your fate, then read no further, seek the best pain management available and arrange hospice care.”[26](21).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;It is striking that such a proponent of active euthanasia knows that it is inconsistent with a Christian worldview to seek it &nbsp;Yet two &nbsp;professing Christians, Duntley and Johnson, see it as legitimate in some situations.&nbsp; By Humphry’s own recognition, it is completely inconsistent to consider euthanasia (assisted-suicide) if one is a Christian who believes in the sovereign authority of God.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr>\u003Cp>[1]&nbsp;Ira Byock, cited by Robert J.

Para cada vez más personas, parece que la única manera de conservar cierto control sobre nuestra muerte—morir una muerte marcada por la conciencia de sí mismo, con conocimiento de nuestro final, rodeados de aquellos a quienes amamos—es tomar nuestra muerte en nuestras propias manos.[3]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;En consecuencia, ella, aunque se opone personalmente, comprende por qué las personas podrían considerar el suicidio asistido por un médico (en adelante PAS) y la eutanasia activa voluntaria (en adelante eutanasia).&nbsp; El temor a la pérdida total de autonomía y control, y, más comúnmente, a ser una carga para los seres queridos, son fuerzas impulsoras detrás de la creciente disposición a defender la eutanasia, especialmente el PAS, como una opción legítima cuando uno se acerca al final de la vida.&nbsp; La prevalencia de este sentimiento puede verse en un informe de marzo de 1996 del \u003Cem>Washington Post\u003C\u002Fem> en el que el 51 por ciento de los estadounidenses encuestados favorecía el PAS; entre los hombres, el 54 por ciento lo favorecía; entre las mujeres, el 47 por ciento.[4]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Ante este creciente atractivo de la eutanasia y el PAS, los cristianos deben preguntarse qué significa no “conformarse a este mundo” en lo que respecta a cómo pensamos y abordamos las cuestiones al final de la vida.&nbsp; ¿Cómo debería la iglesia pensar sobre la muerte, o más precisamente, sobre el morir, y qué medidas deben tomarse al enfrentar el final de la vida?&nbsp; ¿Cómo debemos elegir cuando se trata de cuestiones de autonomía, cuidados paliativos, sedación terminal, la negativa al tratamiento, el derecho a morir y toda una serie de otros temas que son preocupaciones casi inevitables cuando se trata del final de la vida?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Lo que sigue intentará abordar algunas de las cuestiones comunes y más difíciles que surgen al final de la vida, y cómo la iglesia puede desarrollar respuestas morales y ministeriales coherentes en una cultura que cada vez parece favorecer más la muerte.&nbsp; Lo que la iglesia debe hacer es defender una posición que afirme la vida, la santidad de la vida humana como aquello que es creado exclusivamente a imagen de Dios, y aplicar esta visión a situaciones prácticas.&nbsp; El capítulo final y la conclusión de este ensayo explorarán formas más concretas en las que la iglesia puede recurrir a ricos recursos bíblicos mientras ofrece alternativas prácticas a la cultura de la muerte.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>CAPÍTULO 1\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>EL SUICIDIO ASISTIDO Y LA AUTONOMÍA: UNA EVALUACIÓN\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Ser cristiano significa tener la confianza de nuestra esperanza futura en el cielo una vez que muramos, pero esta conciencia no necesariamente hace que el proceso de morir sea más fácil, ni inmuniza a los creyentes de luchar con temores y preguntas similares a los enumerados en la introducción.&nbsp; Los cristianos pueden verse tentados a ceder a las presiones culturales que los rodean cuando se trata de la posible miseria y sufrimiento del proceso de morir.&nbsp; Después de todo, también somos humanos y, aunque despreocupados por lo que nos suceda \u003Cem>después\u003C\u002Fem> de morir, no necesariamente nos sentimos diferentes de los demás respecto al morir.&nbsp; Arthur J. Dyck ha señalado que los cristianos no están “inmunes al tipo de pensamiento que ha llegado a vincular la compasión con el hecho de poner fin a la vida de alguien cuyo sufrimiento se considera que ya no tiene sentido, o cuya vida se considera tal que los esfuerzos por aliviar el sufrimiento ya no valen la pena en tiempo y esfuerzo”.[5]&nbsp; Nadie, ya sea cristiano o no, realmente quiere ser mantenido con vida indefinidamente por medios artificiales, o estar conectado de manera onerosa a tubos.&nbsp;&nbsp; Nadie quiere continuar en un estado suspendido de vida sostenido únicamente por máquinas que realizan vicariamente las funciones de nuestro sistema nervioso autónomo, con una recuperación altamente improbable.&nbsp; En consecuencia, nos vemos obligados a considerar la moralidad de las cuestiones al final de la vida.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Como se señaló en la introducción, ante la posibilidad de una gran indignidad, la tentación es significativa, incluso para los cristianos profesos, de considerar las ofertas del suicidio asistido y la eutanasia activa.&nbsp; Uno de esos defensores, escribiendo desde una supuesta posición cristiana, es Mark A. Duntley Jr.&nbsp; Él sugiere que el PAS es una alternativa viable para el cristiano y para la sociedad en su conjunto.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;“Hay casos en los que el suicidio asistido es incorrecto, y también hay casos en los que el suicidio asistido es correcto. La única manera de asegurarnos de que no estamos fallando en lo que respecta al suicidio asistido es ir más allá de simplemente decir no, necesitamos entender que al prolongar la vida, la medicina moderna ha cambiado para siempre la forma en que morimos.&nbsp; Necesitamos redescubrir que la misericordia debe estar en el corazón de cómo cuidamos a los moribundos. Entonces podemos ir más allá del simple rechazo del suicidio asistido y comenzar a observar con espíritus abiertos aquellos momentos en que el cuidado misericordioso de las personas moribundas implica ayudarlas a morir; el suicidio asistido puede ser, de hecho, una respuesta moral cristiana&nbsp; a la pregunta ‘¿Cómo debemos morir?”[6]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Duntley defiende la postura de que, debido a los mismos dilemas considerados anteriormente, el suicidio asistido puede ser una elección “correcta” en ocasiones.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;A medida que los límites de la vida se extienden por la medicina moderna, y nos enfrentamos con mayor frecuencia al sufrimiento que implica morir lentamente por una enfermedad terminal, deberíamos comenzar a cuestionar si preservar la vida y hacer que alguien esté lo más cómodo posible son los principios principales que deben guiarnos en el cuidado de los moribundos.[7]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Buscando argumentar a favor del suicidio asistido desde una perspectiva bíblica, Duntley recurre al concepto de misericordia tal como se manifiesta en el compromiso de una relación de alianza.&nbsp; La misericordia se demuestra en la compasión, afirma, y ve a Jesús como el modelo supremo de tal misericordia.&nbsp; “Encontramos sus relaciones de alianza y sus actos de misericordia vinculados a través de su profunda compasión por los demás.”[8]&nbsp; Luego se refiere a Jesús como el modelo de tal misericordia actuando con compasión cuando se le ve “sanando a los ciegos, alimentando a las multitudes e incluso resucitando a los muertos.”[9] &nbsp;Sin embargo, extrañamente ausente de este relato de los actos misericordiosos de Jesús, hay un caso en el que Él, por compasión, mató a alguien, o insistió en que ese era el curso de acción correcto. &nbsp;Al no tener un ejemplo bíblico al que referirse para probar su punto, Duntley sale de la Biblia y &nbsp;utiliza el caso del Dr. Timothy Quill como un ejemplo digno de elogio de cómo la misericordia y la compasión, resultantes en el suicidio asistido, podrían desarrollarse en una relación médico-paciente.&nbsp; Relata cómo, en 1971, el Dr. Timothy Quill escribió sobre cómo superó sus reparos intuitivos sobre asistir a un paciente en su muerte y, por primera vez, recetó las pastillas necesarias para ayudar a su paciente a poner fin a su propia vida.&nbsp; [10]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Diane era una paciente de mediana edad con leucemia que no quería asumir un 25 por ciento de probabilidad de recuperación mediante quimioterapia, y en su lugar eligió poner fin a su propia vida.&nbsp; El Dr. Quill, quien admite que al principio le resultó difícil considerarlo, se convenció de que esta era “la decisión correcta para ella”[11]&nbsp; Informó sentirse “inquieto por los límites que estaba explorando—espirituales, legales, profesionales y personales,”[12] sin embargo, se sentía dividido porque también “sentía fuertemente que la estaba liberando para aprovechar al máximo el tiempo que le quedaba, y para mantener la dignidad y el control en sus propios términos hasta su muerte.”[13]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Otro cristiano profeso que no ve problema en considerar la posibilidad del suicidio asistido es el Dr. Timothy Johnson, ministro ordenado en la Iglesia Evangélica del Pacto, mejor conocido por ser el editor médico de ABC News.&nbsp; Johnson, en un debate con el ex Cirujano General C. Everett Koop, declaró: “Personalmente creo que ayudar a alguien a morir en paz y sin dolor, incluso si eso pudiera adelantar el calendario biológico de la muerte por unas horas o incluso días, no solo es aceptable, sino que es obligatorio para la atención médica moderna.”[14] &nbsp;Que incluye en esto el suicidio asistido es evidente cuando afirma,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Aunque personalmente me repugna la idea de ayudar a una persona a suicidarse, al menos estoy dispuesto a considerar teóricamente la posibilidad bajo circunstancias muy limitadas. &nbsp;Digo esto porque siempre he creído que un médico tiene un doble papel: preservar la vida&nbsp;\u003Cem>y\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;prevenir el sufrimiento. Y creo que ambos son igualmente válidos y a veces entran en conflicto.&nbsp; Permítanme enfatizar que estoy dispuesto a considerar el suicidio asistido por un médico&nbsp;\u003Cem>solo en situaciones de enfermedad claramente terminal en las que no hay esperanza de recuperación definitiva\u003C\u002Fem>.[15]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Para respaldar esta proposición, Johnson, al igual que Duntley, se refiere al caso del Dr. Quill.&nbsp; Cita, con simpatía, las acciones de Quill, y dice que tal decisión fue una “acción cuidadosa y reflexiva.”[16]&nbsp; Aunque él mismo no abogaría por la legalización del suicidio asistido por un médico porque hay “demasiados peligros morales que superan sus posibles beneficios,”[17] el Dr. Johnson no condenaría a sus colegas médicos, como Quill, que puedan llegar a otras conclusiones.&nbsp; Llega a esta posición “a regañadientes” porque siente simpatía por&nbsp;“las personas que sienten que no tienen control sobre su muerte”[18] y afirma que Diane, la mujer a quien Quill ayudó a suicidarse, pudo “mantener la dignidad y el control en sus propios términos hasta su muerte.”[19]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Como crítica, para ambos, Duntley y Johnson, intentar argumentar como cristianos a favor del suicidio asistido, citando la experiencia y las acciones del Dr. Quill como paradigma, es bastante equivocado.&nbsp; Primero, Quill no está en absoluto informado por una visión cristiana de la muerte y el morir.&nbsp; De hecho, al final de su reflexión sobre su experiencia con Diane, cita con aprobación sus palabras sobre, después de morir, estar “en su lugar favorito en la orilla del lago de Ginebra al atardecer, con dragones nadando en el horizonte.”[20]&nbsp; Así que, en primer lugar, en sus reflexiones finales sobre la muerte de esta paciente, llega a una conclusión bastante pagana, y por lo tanto inconsistente con la escatología cristiana\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Una segunda razón por la que Quill no es un buen ejemplo para que el cristiano lo siga se debe a su enfoque en la autonomía de Diane como paciente. &nbsp;Desde el punto de vista del paciente, esto plantea la cuestión del grado de autonomía que tenemos cuando se trata de nuestra muerte, y si esto es compatible con una visión cristiana de la vida.&nbsp; Aunque vivimos en una sociedad altamente litigiosa, y debemos insistir en nuestra autonomía y libertad, porque somos cristianos, debemos admitir que nuestra autonomía es en realidad bastante limitada, especialmente en términos de nuestra muerte.&nbsp; Teológicamente debemos aceptar que Dios, solo, es soberano sobre nuestra vida y muerte, lo que significa que Dios solo tiene la prerrogativa de terminar nuestras vidas, y nosotros no compartimos esa autoridad.[21]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Esta es una era en la medicina en la que uno de los principios más importantes es la autonomía del paciente.&nbsp; Agneta Sutton escribe: “El reconocimiento legal del derecho a la eutanasia se basa en la suposición de que es prerrogativa de los agentes autónomos (en este caso, los pacientes) afirmar que lo que desean es correcto para ellos y, por lo tanto, debe concederse sin cuestionamiento.”[22] &nbsp;Esta es la suposición que llevó al Dr. Quill a violar su propia conciencia; él creía que Diane era la única cuyo pensamiento debía considerarse en esta decisión sobre su propia muerte.&nbsp; Sutton sugiere que los pacientes ahora se ven a sí mismos como consumidores y a sus médicos como proveedores que deben, cuando ellos lo exigen, darles lo que solicitan.[23]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;En cuanto a cómo los cristianos deberían pensar sobre la autonomía, es cierto que, especialmente como estadounidenses, tenemos ciertas libertades legales, pero debemos reconocer siempre que Dios es la autoridad última cuando se trata de todas nuestras decisiones, incluidas las relacionadas con nuestra muerte.&nbsp; John F. Kilner plantea el asunto de manera contundente cuando afirma: “asumir la responsabilidad&nbsp;\u003Cem>última\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;por la propia vida [decidiendo cuándo debe terminar] es rechazar a Dios, sin importar cuándo, en el transcurso de la vida, uno elija hacerlo.”[24]&nbsp; La perspectiva necesaria para el creyente es que somos, como dijo Pablo, “no nuestros propios”&nbsp; Nuestro enfoque no debe estar en la autonomía humana, como un principio inferido a través de la razón humana sin ayuda, sino más bien en la autoridad divina evidenciada claramente en la revelación divina.&nbsp; No somos soberanos autodeterminados que dependen únicamente de nuestra razón para tomar decisiones, sino más bien mayordomos sumisos que miramos a la revelación de Dios donde descubrimos que nuestro Creador se reserva el derecho de terminar una vida humana y prohíbe el homicidio.[25]&nbsp; Para que el lector no piense que esta noción de la soberanía última de Dios es entendida solo por los cristianos, y por lo tanto sospechosa, incluso el fundador de la sociedad Hemlock Derek Humphry afirmó esta posición cuando en la introducción de su libro&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003Cem>Final Exit\u003C\u002Fem>, se dirige a sus lectores diciendo,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Si deseas abandonar deliberadamente este mundo [pero no estás en ningún tipo de soporte vital] entonces la eutanasia activa es tu única vía.&nbsp; Lee con atención. (Si consideras a Dios el dueño de tu destino, entonces no leas más, busca el mejor manejo del dolor disponible y organiza cuidados paliativos.”[26](21).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Es sorprendente que un defensor tan ferviente de la eutanasia activa sepa que es inconsistente con una cosmovisión cristiana buscarla &nbsp;Sin embargo, dos &nbsp;cristianos profesantes, Duntley y Johnson, la ven como legítima en algunas situaciones.&nbsp; Por el propio reconocimiento de Humphry, es completamente inconsistente considerar la eutanasia (suicidio asistido) si uno es un cristiano que cree en la autoridad soberana de Dios.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr>\u003Cp>[1]&nbsp;Ira Byock, citado por Robert J.

Pour de plus en plus de personnes, il semble que la seule façon de conserver un certain contrôle sur notre mort—mourir d’une mort marquée par une conscience de soi, avec la connaissance de notre fin, entouré de ceux que nous aimons—est de prendre notre mort entre nos propres mains.[3]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Par conséquent, bien qu’elle y soit opposée, elle comprend pourquoi les gens pourraient envisager le suicide assisté par un médecin (désormais PAS) et l’euthanasie active volontaire (désormais euthanasie).&nbsp; La peur de la perte globale d’autonomie et de contrôle, et, plus couramment, d’être un fardeau pour ses proches, sont des forces motrices derrière la volonté croissante de défendre l’euthanasie, en particulier le PAS, comme une option légitime lorsque l’on approche de la fin de la vie. &nbsp;La prévalence de ce sentiment peut être observée dans un rapport du \u003Cem>Washington Post\u003C\u002Fem> de mars 1996, dans lequel 51 pour cent des Américains interrogés étaient favorables au PAS—parmi les hommes, 54 pour cent y étaient favorables ; parmi les femmes, 47 pour cent.[4]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Face à cet attrait croissant pour l’euthanasie et le PAS, les chrétiens doivent se demander ce que signifie ne pas « se conformer à ce monde » en ce qui concerne notre façon de penser et d’aborder les questions de fin de vie.&nbsp; Comment l’Église doit-elle penser à la mort, ou plus précisément au mourir, et quelles mesures doivent être prises face à la fin de la vie ?&nbsp; Comment choisir lorsque se posent des questions d’autonomie, de soins palliatifs, de sédation terminale, de refus de traitement, du droit de mourir, et tout un ensemble d’autres questions de ce type qui sont des préoccupations presque inévitables en fin de vie ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Ce qui suit tentera d’aborder certaines des questions courantes et les plus difficiles qui se posent en fin de vie, et comment l’Église peut développer des réponses morales et ministérielles cohérentes dans une culture qui semble de plus en plus favoriser la mort.&nbsp; Ce que l’Église doit faire, c’est défendre une position affirmant la vie, la sainteté de la vie humaine en tant que celle qui est exclusivement créée à l’image de Dieu, et appliquer cette vision aux situations pratiques.&nbsp; Le dernier chapitre et la conclusion de cet essai exploreront des moyens plus concrets par lesquels l’Église peut puiser dans de riches ressources bibliques tout en offrant des alternatives pratiques à la culture de la mort.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>CHAPITRE 1\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>SUICIDE ASSISTÉ ET AUTONOMIE : UNE ÉVALUATION\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Être chrétien signifie avoir la confiance en notre espérance future au ciel une fois que nous mourrons, mais cette conscience ne rend pas nécessairement le processus de mourir plus facile, ni n’immunise les croyants contre les luttes avec des peurs et des questions similaires à celles énumérées dans l’introduction.&nbsp; Les chrétiens peuvent être tentés de céder aux pressions culturelles qui les entourent lorsqu’il s’agit de la misère et de la souffrance potentielles du processus de mourir.&nbsp; Après tout, nous sommes aussi humains et, bien que sans souci de ce qui nous arrive \u003Cem>après\u003C\u002Fem> notre mort, nous ne ressentons pas nécessairement différemment des autres face à la mort.&nbsp; Arthur J. Dyck a noté que les chrétiens ne sont pas « immunisés contre le genre de pensée qui en est venu à lier la compassion à la fin de la vie de quelqu’un dont la souffrance est considérée comme n’ayant plus de sens, ou dont la vie est considérée comme telle que les efforts pour soulager la souffrance ne valent plus le temps et les efforts ».[5]&nbsp; Personne, qu’il soit chrétien ou non, ne veut vraiment être maintenu en vie indéfiniment par des moyens artificiels, ou être relié de manière contraignante à des tubes. &nbsp;&nbsp;Personne ne veut continuer dans un état de vie suspendue, maintenu uniquement par des machines qui accomplissent vicariement les rôles de notre système nerveux autonome, avec une récupération hautement improbable.&nbsp; Par conséquent, nous sommes contraints de considérer la moralité des questions de fin de vie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Comme indiqué dans l’introduction, avec la possibilité d’une grande indignité, la tentation est importante, même pour des chrétiens professants, d’envisager les offres du suicide assisté et de l’euthanasie active.&nbsp; L’un de ces partisans, écrivant à partir d’une position prétendument chrétienne, est Mark A. Duntley Jr.&nbsp; Il suggère que le PAS est une alternative viable pour le chrétien et la société dans son ensemble.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;« Il y a des cas où le suicide assisté est mal, et il y a aussi des cas où le suicide assisté est bien. La seule façon d’être sûrs que nous ne manquons pas notre cible concernant le suicide assisté est d’aller au-delà du simple refus, nous devons comprendre qu’en prolongeant la vie, la médecine moderne a changé à jamais la façon dont nous mourons.&nbsp; Nous devons redécouvrir que la miséricorde doit se trouver au cœur de la façon dont nous prenons soin des mourants. Alors nous pourrons aller au-delà du simple rejet du suicide assisté et commencer à regarder avec des esprits ouverts les moments où le soin miséricordieux des personnes mourantes implique de les aider à mourir. Le suicide assisté peut en effet être une réponse morale chrétienne&nbsp; à la question « Comment devons-nous mourir ? »[6]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Duntley défend la position selon laquelle, en raison des mêmes dilemmes examinés précédemment, le suicide assisté peut être un choix « juste » à certains moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Alors que les limites de la vie sont repoussées par la médecine moderne, et que nous sommes confrontés plus fréquemment à la souffrance liée au fait de mourir lentement d’une maladie terminale, nous devrions commencer à nous demander si la préservation de la vie et le fait de rendre quelqu’un aussi confortable que possible sont les principes premiers qui devraient nous guider dans les soins aux mourants.[7]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Cherchant à plaider en faveur du suicide assisté d’un point de vue biblique, Duntley s’appuie sur le concept de miséricorde tel qu’il est manifesté dans l’engagement d’une relation d’alliance.&nbsp; La miséricorde se manifeste dans la compassion, affirme-t-il, et voit Jésus comme le modèle ultime de cette miséricorde.&nbsp; « Nous trouvons ses relations d’alliance et ses actes de miséricorde liés par sa profonde compassion pour les autres ».[8]&nbsp; Il se réfère ensuite à Jésus comme au modèle de cette miséricorde agissant dans la compassion lorsqu’il est vu « guérissant les aveugles, nourrissant les foules et même ressuscitant les morts ».[9]&nbsp; Pourtant, il manque étrangement à ce récit des actes miséricordieux de Jésus un exemple où il aurait, par compassion, tué quelqu’un ou insisté pour que ce soit la bonne ligne de conduite.&nbsp; N’ayant aucun exemple biblique à citer pour prouver son point de vue, Duntley sort de la Bible et&nbsp; utilise le cas du Dr Timothy Quill comme exemple louable de la façon dont la miséricorde et la compassion, aboutissant au suicide assisté, pourraient se dérouler dans une relation médecin-patient.&nbsp; Il relate comment, en 1971, le Dr Timothy Quill a écrit sur le fait de surmonter ses réticences intuitives à aider un patient à mourir et, pour la première fois, a prescrit les pilules nécessaires pour aider sa patiente à mettre fin à ses jours.&nbsp; [10]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Diane était une patiente leucémique d’âge moyen qui ne voulait pas prendre une chance de récupération de 25 pour cent par chimiothérapie, et a plutôt choisi de mettre fin à ses jours.&nbsp; Le Dr Quill, qui admet que c’était, au début, difficile à envisager, s’est convaincu que c’était « la bonne décision pour elle ».[11]&nbsp; Il a rapporté se sentir « mal à l’aise quant aux limites qu’il explorait — spirituelles, légales, professionnelles et personnelles »,[12] tout en étant déchiré parce qu’il « sentait fortement qu’il la libérait pour tirer le meilleur parti du temps qu’il lui restait, et pour maintenir sa dignité et son contrôle selon ses propres termes jusqu’à sa mort ».[13]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Un autre chrétien déclaré qui ne voit aucun problème à envisager la possibilité du suicide assisté est le Dr Timothy Johnson, ministre ordonné de l’Église évangélique de l’Alliance, surtout connu pour avoir été l’éditeur médical d’ABC News.&nbsp; Johnson, lors d’un débat avec l’ancien chirurgien général C. Everett Koop, a déclaré : « Je crois personnellement que le fait d’aider quelqu’un à mourir en paix et sans douleur, même si cela peut hâter le calendrier biologique de la mort de quelques heures ou même de quelques jours, n’est pas seulement acceptable, c’est obligatoire pour les soins médicaux modernes ».[14]&nbsp; Qu’il inclut dans cela le suicide assisté est évident lorsqu’il déclare :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Bien que je réagisse personnellement à l’idée d’aider une personne à se suicider, je suis au moins disposé à considérer théoriquement cette possibilité dans des circonstances très limitées.&nbsp; Je dis cela parce que j’ai toujours cru qu’un médecin a un double rôle : préserver la vie&nbsp;\u003Cem>et\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;prévenir la souffrance. Et je crois que les deux sont également valables et parfois en conflit.&nbsp; Laissez-moi souligner que je suis disposé à envisager le suicide assisté par un médecin&nbsp;\u003Cem>uniquement dans des situations de maladie clairement terminale où il n’y a aucun espoir de guérison ultime\u003C\u002Fem>.[15]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Pour étayer cette proposition, Johnson, comme Duntley, se réfère au cas du Dr Quill.&nbsp; Il cite, avec sympathie, les actions de Quill, et dit qu’une telle décision était une « action prudente et réfléchie ».[16]&nbsp; Bien qu’il ne plaiderait pas lui-même pour la légalisation du suicide assisté par un médecin parce qu’il y a « trop de dangers moraux qui l’emportent sur ses avantages possibles »,[17] le Dr Johnson ne condamnerait pas ses collègues médecins, comme Quill, qui pourraient arriver à d’autres conclusions.&nbsp; Il en arrive à cette position « à contrecœur » parce qu’il ressent de la sympathie pour&nbsp;« les personnes qui ont l’impression de ne pas avoir de contrôle sur leur mort »[18] et déclare que Diane, la femme que Quill a aidée à se suicider, a pu « maintenir sa dignité et son contrôle selon ses propres termes jusqu’à sa mort ».[19]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;En guise de critique, pour Duntley et Johnson d’essayer d’argumenter en tant que chrétiens en faveur du suicide assisté, en citant l’expérience et les actions du Dr Quill comme paradigme, est tout à fait malavisé.&nbsp; Premièrement, Quill n’est en aucun cas informé par une vision chrétienne de la mort et du mourir.&nbsp; En fait, à la fin de sa réflexion sur son expérience avec Diane, il cite avec approbation ses propos sur le fait qu’après sa mort elle serait « à son endroit préféré sur la rive du lac de Genève au coucher du soleil, avec des dragons nageant à l’horizon ».[20]&nbsp; Ainsi, tout d’abord, dans ses réflexions finales sur la mort de cette patiente, il arrive à une conclusion plutôt païenne, et donc incompatible avec l’eschatologie chrétienne\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Une deuxième raison pour laquelle Quill n’est pas un bon exemple à suivre pour le chrétien réside dans son accent mis sur l’autonomie de Diane en tant que patiente. &nbsp;Du point de vue du patient, cela soulève la question du degré d’autonomie dont nous disposons lorsqu’il s’agit de notre mort, et de savoir si cela est compatible avec une vision chrétienne de la vie.&nbsp; Bien que nous vivions dans une société très procédurière et que nous devions insister sur notre autonomie et notre liberté, parce que nous sommes chrétiens, nous devons admettre que notre autonomie est en réalité assez limitée, surtout en ce qui concerne notre mort.&nbsp; Théologiquement, nous devons accepter que Dieu seul est souverain sur notre vie et notre mort, ce qui signifie que Dieu seul a le droit de mettre fin à nos vies, et que nous ne partageons pas cette autorité.[21]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;C’est une époque en médecine où l’un des principes les plus importants est l’autonomie du patient.&nbsp; Agneta Sutton écrit : « La reconnaissance légale du droit à l’euthanasie repose sur l’hypothèse que c’est la prérogative des agents autonomes (en l’occurrence, les patients) d’affirmer que ce qu’ils désirent est juste pour eux et devrait donc leur être accordé sans discussion. »[22] &nbsp;C’est cette hypothèse qui a poussé le Dr Quill à violer sa propre conscience ; il croyait que Diane était la seule dont l’opinion devait être prise en compte dans cette décision concernant sa propre mort.&nbsp; Sutton suggère que les patients se considèrent désormais comme des consommateurs et leurs médecins comme des prestataires qui doivent, lorsqu’ils en font la demande, leur donner ce qu’ils demandent.[23]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;En ce qui concerne la manière dont les chrétiens devraient envisager l’autonomie, il est vrai que, surtout en tant qu’Américains, nous jouissons de certaines libertés légales, mais nous devons toujours reconnaître que Dieu est l’autorité ultime en ce qui concerne toutes nos décisions, y compris celles relatives à notre mort.&nbsp; John F. Kilner expose la question de manière directe lorsqu’il affirme : « assumer la responsabilité \u003Cem>ultime\u003C\u002Fem> de sa vie [en décidant quand elle doit prendre fin] revient à rejeter Dieu, peu importe à quel moment de la vie on choisit de le faire. »[24]&nbsp; La perspective nécessaire pour le croyant est que nous ne sommes pas, comme le dit Paul, « à nous-mêmes ». &nbsp;Notre attention ne doit pas se porter sur l’autonomie humaine, en tant que principe déduit par la raison humaine non assistée, mais plutôt sur l’autorité divine manifestée clairement dans la révélation divine.&nbsp; Nous ne sommes pas des souverains autodéterminés qui dépendent uniquement de notre raison pour prendre des décisions, mais plutôt des intendants soumis qui se tournent vers la révélation de Dieu où nous découvrons que notre Créateur se réserve le droit de mettre fin à une vie humaine et interdit l’homicide.[25]&nbsp; De peur que le lecteur ne pense que cette notion de souveraineté ultime de Dieu n’est comprise que par les chrétiens, et donc suspecte, même le fondateur de la société Hemlock, Derek Humphry, a affirmé cette position lorsqu’il s’adresse à ses lecteurs dans l’introduction de son livre \u003Cem>Final Exit\u003C\u002Fem>,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Si vous souhaitez quitter ce monde délibérément [mais que vous n’êtes sous aucun type de maintien en vie], alors l’euthanasie active est votre seule option.&nbsp; Lisez attentivement. (Si vous considérez Dieu comme le maître de votre destin, alors ne lisez pas plus loin, recherchez la meilleure prise en charge de la douleur disponible et organisez des soins palliatifs. »[26](21).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Il est frappant qu’un tel partisan de l’euthanasie active sache qu’elle est incompatible avec une vision du monde chrétienne pour la rechercher. &nbsp;Pourtant, deux chrétiens se réclamant tels, Duntley et Johnson, la considèrent comme légitime dans certaines situations.&nbsp; Selon la propre reconnaissance de Humphry, il est complètement incompatible d’envisager l’euthanasie (suicide assisté) si l’on est un chrétien qui croit en l’autorité souveraine de Dieu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr>\u003Cp>[1]&nbsp;Ira Byock, cité par Robert J.

Dyck은 그리스도인들이 “고통이 더 이상 의미가 없다고 여겨지거나, 고통을 덜어주려는 노력이 더 이상 시간과 수고를 들일 가치가 없다고 여겨지는 사람의 생명을 끝내는 것과 연민을 연결 짓는 사고방식으로부터 면역되어 있지 않다”[5]고 지적했다.&nbsp; 그리스도인이든 아니든, 누구도 인공적인 수단으로 무기한 생명을 유지당하거나, 튜브에 부담스럽게 연결된 채로 있기를 원하지 않는다.&nbsp; 누구도 자율신경계의 역할을 대신 수행하는 기계에 의해서만 유지되는 정지된 삶의 상태를, 회복 가능성이 매우 낮은 채로 계속하고 싶어하지 않는다.&nbsp; 결과적으로 우리는 삶의 마지막 문제들의 도덕성을 고려하지 않을 수 없다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;서론에서 언급했듯이, 큰 존엄성 상실의 가능성 때문에, 임종을 맞이하는 그리스도인들조차도 조력자살과 적극적 안락사가 제공하는 선택지를 고려하려는 유혹이 크다.&nbsp; 표면상 그리스도인의 입장에서 글을 쓰는 한 지지자는 Mark A. Duntley Jr.이다.&nbsp; 그는 PAS가 그리스도인과 사회 전체에 실행 가능한 대안이라고 제안한다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;“보조자살이 잘못된 경우도 있고, 보조자살이 옳은 경우도 있다. 보조자살에 관해 우리가 목표를 놓치지 않도록 확신할 수 있는 유일한 길은 단순히 ‘아니오’라고 말하는 것을 넘어서는 것이며, 현대 의학이 생명을 연장함으로써 죽는 방식을 영원히 바꾸었다는 점을 이해해야 한다.&nbsp; 우리는 자비가 죽어가는 사람을 돌보는 방식의 핵심에 있어야 한다는 점을 다시 발견해야 한다. 그러면 우리는 보조자살을 단순히 거부하는 것을 넘어, 죽어가는 사람을 위한 자비로운 돌봄이 그들이 죽도록 돕는 것을 포함하는 경우를 열린 마음으로 살펴볼 수 있게 된다. 보조자살은 ‘우리는 어떻게 죽어야 하는가?’라는 질문에 대한 기독교적 도덕적 응답이 될 수 있다.”[6]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Duntley는 앞서 고려한 동일한 딜레마 때문에 보조자살이 때때로 “옳은” 선택이 될 수 있다는 입장을 옹호한다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;현대 의학에 의해 생명의 경계가 확장되고, 말기 질환으로 서서히 죽어가는 고통에 더 자주 직면하게 되면서, 생명을 보존하고 가능한 한 편안하게 만드는 것이 죽어가는 사람을 돌보는 데 있어 우리를 인도해야 할 주요 원칙인지에 대해 의문을 제기하기 시작해야 한다.[7]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;성경적 관점에서 보조자살을 주장하기 위해, Duntley는 언약 관계의 헌신에 나타난 자비의 개념을 활용한다.&nbsp; 자비는 연민으로 나타난다고 주장하며, 예수님을 그러한 자비의 궁극적인 모델로 본다.&nbsp; “우리는 그분의 언약 관계와 자비의 행위가 다른 사람들에 대한 깊은 연민을 통해 연결되어 있음을 발견한다.”[8]&nbsp; 그런 다음 그는 예수님을 연민으로 그러한 자비를 행하는 모델로 언급하며, “눈먼 자를 고치시고, 무리를 먹이시며, 심지어 죽은 자를 살리시는” 모습을 본다.[9]&nbsp; 그러나 이러한 예수님의 자비로운 행위에 대한 설명에서 이상하게도, 연민으로 인해 누군가를 죽이시거나 그것이 옳은 행동이라고 주장하신 사례는 빠져 있다.&nbsp; 자신의 주장을 증명할 성경적 사례가 없자, Duntley는 성경을 벗어나 Dr. Timothy Quill의 사례를 자비와 연민이 보조자살로 이어져 의사-환자 관계에서 어떻게 펼쳐질 수 있는 칭찬할 만한 예로 사용한다.&nbsp; 그는 1971년 Dr. Timothy Quill이 환자의 죽음을 돕는 것에 대한 본능적인 거부감을 극복하고, 처음으로 환자가 스스로 목숨을 끊도록 돕는 데 필요한 약을 처방한 일에 대해 이야기한다.[10]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;Diane은 화학요법을 통한 25퍼센트의 회복 가능성을 원하지 않은 중년의 백혈병 환자로, 대신 스스로 목숨을 끊는 것을 선택했다.&nbsp; 처음에는 고려하기 어려웠다고 인정하는 Dr. Quill은 이것이 “그녀에게 옳은 결정”이라고 확신하게 되었다.[11]&nbsp; 그는 “내가 탐색하고 있는 경계—영적, 법적, 직업적, 개인적—에 대해 불안함을 느꼈다”[12]고 보고했지만, 동시에 “내가 그녀가 남은 시간을 최대한 활용하고, 자신의 조건으로 존엄성과 통제력을 유지하도록 자유롭게 해주고 있다고 강하게 느꼈다”[13]는 점에서 갈등했다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;보조자살의 가능성을 고려하는 데 아무런 문제가 없다고 보는 또 다른 자칭 기독교인은 ABC News의 의학 편집자로 잘 알려진 Dr. Timothy Johnson으로, 복음주의 언약 교회(Evangelical Covenant Church)의 안수 받은 목사이다.&nbsp; Johnson은 전 외과 의사 C. Everett Koop와의 토론에서 “나는 개인적으로 누군가가 평화롭고 고통 없이 죽도록 돕는 것이, 비록 그것이 생물학적 죽음의 일정을 몇 시간 또는 며칠 앞당길지라도, 현대 의료에서 받아들일 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 의무적이라고 믿는다”[14]고 말했다.&nbsp; 그가 여기서 보조자살을 포함하고 있음은 다음과 같이 말할 때 분명해진다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;나는 개인적으로 누군가가 자살하도록 돕는다는 생각에 역겨움을 느끼지만, 매우 제한된 상황에서는 이론적으로 그 가능성을 고려할 의향이 있다.&nbsp; 내가 이렇게 말하는 이유는 의사가 생명을 보존하고&nbsp;\u003Cem>그리고\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;고통을 예방하는 이중의 역할을 한다고 항상 믿어왔기 때문이다. 그리고 나는 이 두 가지가 동등하게 타당하며 때로는 충돌한다고 믿는다.&nbsp; 분명히 밝히자면, 나는 명백한 말기 질환으로 궁극적인 회복의 희망이 없는 상황에서만 의사 조력 자살을 고려할 의향이 있다.[15]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;이 주장을 뒷받침하기 위해 Johnson은 Duntley와 마찬가지로 Dr. Quill의 사례를 언급한다.&nbsp; 그는 Quill의 행동을 공감하며 인용하며, 그러한 결정이 “신중하고 사려 깊은 행동”이었다고 말한다.[16]&nbsp; 그는 “가능한 이익보다 더 큰 도덕적 위험이 너무 많기 때문에”[17] 의사 조력 자살의 합법화를 옹호하지는 않겠지만, Quill과 같은 다른 결론에 도달할 수 있는 동료 의사들을 비난하지는 않을 것이다.&nbsp; 그는 “죽음에 대해 통제할 수 없다고 느끼는 사람들”[18]에 대한 연민 때문에 이 입장에 “마지못해” 도달하며, Quill이 자살을 도운 여성 Diane이 “자신의 조건으로 존엄성과 통제력을 유지하며 죽음에 이를 수 있었다”[19]고 말한다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;비판적으로 보자면, Duntley와 Johnson 모두 기독교인으로서 보조자살을 주장하면서 Dr. Quill의 경험과 행동을 패러다임으로 인용하는 것은 상당히 잘못된 것이다.&nbsp; 첫째, Quill은 기독교적 죽음과 사망관에 전혀 영향을 받지 않는다.&nbsp; 사실, Diane과의 경험에 대한 그의 성찰 끝에, 그는 그녀가 죽은 후 “제네바 호숫가의 가장 좋아하는 장소에서 일몰을 바라보며, 지평선에 용들이 헤엄치고 있는”[20] 상태가 될 것이라는 그녀의 말을 긍정적으로 인용한다.&nbsp; 따라서 무엇보다도, 이 환자의 죽음에 대한 그의 최종 성찰에서 그는 다소 이교도적인 결론에 도달하며, 이는 기독교 종말론과 일치하지 않는다.\u003C\u002Fp>&nbsp;퀼이 기독인이 따르기에 좋은 본보기가 아닌 두 번째 이유는 다이앤의 환자 자율성에 초점을 맞추었기 때문이다.&nbsp;환자의 입장에서 볼 때, 이는 우리가 죽음에 관해 어느 정도의 자율성을 가지는지, 그리고 이것이 기독교적 생명관과 양립 가능한지에 대한 문제를 제기한다.&nbsp;우리는 소송이 빈번한 사회에 살고 있으며, 자율성과 자유를 주장해야 하지만, 기독인이기 때문에 우리의 자율성은 특히 죽음에 관한 한 실제로 상당히 제한적이라는 점을 인정해야 한다.&nbsp;신학적으로 우리는 오직 하나님만이 우리의 생사에 주권을 가지시며, 따라서 오직 하나님만이 우리의 생명을 끝낼 권리를 가지시고 우리는 그 권위를 공유하지 않는다는 점을 받아들여야 한다.[21]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;이것은 의학에서 환자 자율성이 가장 중요한 원칙 중 하나인 시대이다.&nbsp;아그네타 서튼은 이렇게 썼다. “안락사 권리의 법적 인정은 자율적 행위자(이 경우 환자)가 자신이 원하는 것이 자신에게 옳다고 주장하고 따라서 의심 없이 부여받아야 한다고 주장할 수 있는 특권이라는 가정에 기초한다.”[22]&nbsp;이것이 바로 퀼 박사가 자신의 양심을 위반하게 만든 가정이었다. 그는 다이앤만이 자신의 죽음에 관한 이 결정에서 고려되어야 할 유일한 사람이라고 믿었다.&nbsp;서튼은 환자들이 이제 자신을 소비자로, 의사를 요청할 때 반드시 그것을 제공해야 하는 제공자로 보는 경향이 있다고 제안한다.[23]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;기독인이 자율성에 대해 어떻게 생각해야 하는지에 관해서는, 특히 미국인으로서 우리는 특정한 법적 자유를 가지고 있지만, 우리의 죽음을 포함한 모든 결정에 있어 하나님께서 궁극적인 권위이심을 항상 인정해야 한다.&nbsp;존 F. 킬너는 이 문제를 직설적으로 다음과 같이 말한다. “자신의 삶에 대해 궁극적인 책임을 진다고 가정하는 것[언제 끝날지를 결정함으로써]은, 삶의 과정 중 언제 하든지 간에, 하나님을 거부하는 것이다.”[24]&nbsp;신자의 필수적인 관점은 우리가, 바울이 말한 대로, “우리 자신의 것이 아니라는” 것이다.&nbsp;우리의 초점은 인간의 이성만으로 추론된 원칙으로서의 인간 자율성이 아니라, 하나님의 계시에서 명확히 드러나는 신적 권위에 있어야 한다.&nbsp;우리는 오직 우리의 이성에만 의존하여 결정을 내리는 자기 결정적 주권자가 아니라, 우리의 창조주께서 인간의 생명을 끝낼 권리를 보유하시고 살인을 금하신다는 것을 하나님의 계시에서 발견하는 복종하는 청지기이다.[25]&nbsp;독자가 하나님의 궁극적 주권에 대한 이 개념이 기독인만 이해하고 따라서 의심스럽다고 생각하지 않도록, 안락사 옹호 단체 헴록 소사이어티의 창립자 데릭 험프리조차 그의 저서 『최종 출구』 서문에서 독자들에게 이렇게 말하며 이 입장을 인정했다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;만약 당신이 의도적으로 이 세상을 떠나고자 한다면[하지만 어떤 종류의 생명 유지 장치도 사용하고 있지 않다면], 적극적 안락사가 유일한 길이다.&nbsp;계속해서 주의 깊게 읽으십시오. (만약 하나님이 당신 운명의 주인이라고 생각한다면, 더 이상 읽지 말고, 가능한 한 최고의 통증 관리를 찾고 호스피스 케어를 마련하십시오.”[26](21).&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;이러한 적극적 안락사 옹호자가 그것이 기독교 세계관과 일치하지 않는다는 것을 알고 있다는 점은 주목할 만하다.&nbsp;그러나 두 명의 자칭 기독인인 던틀리와 존슨은 일부 상황에서 그것이 정당하다고 본다.&nbsp;험프리 자신의 인식에 따르면, 하나님의 주권적 권위를 믿는 기독인이라면 안락사(조력 자살)를 고려하는 것은 완전히 일관성이 없다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr>\u003Cp>[1]&nbsp;Ira Byock, cited by Robert J.

Some prefer no to live under such conditions.&nbsp; But even those who want to live can face a duty to die.[7]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Consequently, he asks the “sick and debilitated to step up and take responsibility.”[8] and with regard to the elderly asserts, “To have reached the age of, say, seventy-five or eighty years without being ready to die is itself a moral failing, the sign of a life out of touch with life’s basic realities.”[9]&nbsp; Hardwig, in effect, is saying that to desire to live when your care is burdensome to those around you is immoral.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In view of this concept, it is quite significant that nearly two thirds (63%) of the patients in Oregon in 2000, since the passing of the Death with Dignity Act legalizing PAS in that state, reported that their&nbsp;\u003Cem>primary\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;motivation was to avoid, “being a ‘burden on family, friends or caregivers,’” compare this to the 26% of the previous year, and one can see a frightening trend. [10]&nbsp; It seems the legalization of physician assisted suicide, the “right to die,” easily develops into a “duty to die,” or a sense that you must “get out of the way,” so as not to be a burden to those who care for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It is also quite significant that Scriptures deal with the concept of burden bearing.&nbsp; Galatians 6:2 exhorts believers to “bear one another’s burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.”&nbsp; Christ’s law (John 13:35-35) was ‘that you love one another.”&nbsp; So love, in a biblical sense, entails bearing the burdens of others.&nbsp; An important insight here is that we are not to consider other people&nbsp;\u003Cem>as\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;burdens, but rather people&nbsp;\u003Cem>with\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;burdens.&nbsp; These burdens are not to be carried alone, but Christ’s people should, in true compassion (suffering with), bear them along with those who are afflicted by them.&nbsp; There is an explicit and implicit moral duty here.&nbsp; The clear duty is for those without a particular burden, is not to leave those with them alone in their suffering.&nbsp; The implied duty is that those who are suffering must allow themselves to be served, i.e. to be in a state of dependence upon others.&nbsp; This is exactly opposite of the ideas proposed by Hardwig, who feels it is a moral responsibility to remove oneself from being a burden by killing oneself.[11]&nbsp; John Dunlop captures well the essence of this bilateral moral responsibility found in Galatians 6:2.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Believers are commanded to \"Carry each other's burdens, and in this way . . . fulfill the law of Christ.”&nbsp; This command is a charge to help others. &nbsp;\u003Cem>At the same time it obligates people to allow others to help them\u003C\u002Fem>. &nbsp;The older years often teach us how to depend more on others. &nbsp;There is, indeed, a ministry of dependence. &nbsp;The Church is a community that is to be characterized by true fellowship. We are to participate in each other's lives, which mean sharing in each other's sufferings. &nbsp;How often we see that pain and suffering can be decreased as it is shared within a caring community. &nbsp;It must be one of our goals in the Church to develop a community that can feel deeply one another's pain. &nbsp;One of the ways God is glorified in His Church is when the members develop a depth of fellowship adequate to allow them to bear one another's burdens [12]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One always hears how Job’s friends were really not too friendly in that they hastily concluded that Job suffered as he did because of some sin he had committed.&nbsp; The book of Job was no doubt partially written to debunk this thinking.&nbsp; Job suffered for God’s glory, and it is a grave error to decide immediately that suffering in anyone’s life is an indication that they have sinned.&nbsp; Yet despite his friends’ poor display in the dialogues, their friendship is exemplary when they first hear of their friend’s grave misfortune.&nbsp; In Job 2:11-13 Scripture records,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When Job's three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, each one came from his own place Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For&nbsp;\u003Cem>they had made an appointment together to come and mourn with him, and to comfort him.\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp; And when they raised their eyes from afar, and did not recognize him, they lifted their voices and wept; and each one tore his robe and sprinkled dust on his head toward heaven.&nbsp; So&nbsp;\u003Cem>they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great\u003C\u002Fem>.(Emphases this writer’s)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There is definitely a place for a ministry of silent presence, especially with those who are in the dying process.&nbsp; A ministry to the dying and their families should minimally entail such.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The significance of such a ministry for those who are going to die is seen in vivid beauty in the life of our Lord.[13]&nbsp; In the throes of his agonizing anticipation of his own death, Jesus gives a simple, but oft neglected, mandate, to his disciples to “watch and pray” with Him.&nbsp; He also refuses to succumb to his own desire to eliminate the suffering altogether.&nbsp; Bringing these two ideas together, Arthur J. Dyck makes the following insightful observations.&nbsp; From Christ’s example one can draw the following lessons:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One can serve God’s purposes simply by refusing to ask for PAS or euthanasia . . . this is a witness to the incalculable worth of life . . . [further] the enormous suffering Jesus experienced . . . does contain an important moral imperative.&nbsp; Jesus expected his followers to be in prayer with Him, and be a companion to Him while He was suffering.[14]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He then makes application for all those who call themselves followers of Jesus and what this example means for us in both medicine and ministry.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In short, followers of Jesus owe compassion to those who suffer.&nbsp; What happened in the Garden of Gethsemane contains a very urgent message for all those who are attending the sick and the dying:&nbsp; Do not abandon the suffering; pray with them and for them; do not shun the suffering any of us feel when we are present to those who are physically diminished and suffering in any way.[15]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Elsewhere, Dyck remarks, “Suffering people need the support of others; suffering people should not be encouraged to commit suicide by their community, or that community ceases to be a community.”[16]&nbsp; The reader should remember that Job’s friends looked upon him and “did not recognize him” but stuck it out while he grieved.&nbsp; This is our responsibility to those who are afflicted in such a way that we may not recognize them, or their presence is pleasant in neither sight nor smell, which is common when people are in the dying process.&nbsp; Jesus scolded his disciples for not suffering with him, but abandoning him to do it alone.&nbsp; These examples affirm the significance of a ministry of silent and prayerful presence when attending those who suffer deeply and are about to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>From this we must conclude that pressure toward, or espousal of, a duty to die is alien to a biblical ethical framework.&nbsp; We affirm life at every point and in every stage, no matter how week, dependent or compromised.&nbsp; Dependency cannot be thought of as an evil or an undesirable condition.&nbsp; The “rugged individualism,” of the American mindset not only fosters selfishness, but also contributes to the inability to accept assistance, giving one a sense that they are a burden.&nbsp; If someone voices a notion of being a burden, or suggests a duty to die, or if those who care for them echo these sentiments, the church must counter this mindset with an affirmation of their existence and their worth, and insist that&nbsp;\u003Cem>they\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;are not a burden, but that they&nbsp;\u003Cem>have\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;a burden that we are going to lovingly bear with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>CONCLUSION\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A biblical approach to end-of-life issues does not include assisted suicide or active euthanasia of any kind.&nbsp; It precludes any suggestion that people are familial or social burdens who are just getting in the way.&nbsp; It does allow for the termination of life support when it is judged to be nothing more than prolonging death, and keeping a person alive by completely artificial measures.&nbsp; It also allows for helping a person out of their pain using narcotics to induce sleep.&nbsp; But beyond the ethical and clinical aspects of these concerns, there is a higher responsibility for the church in light of the end-of-life issues being faced by our culture.&nbsp; This societal crisis provides yet another rich opportunity for the church to minister, and to shine as lights in the world” “in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation.”[17]&nbsp; Mark Blocher has insightfully observed that,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>More than anyone else, Christians have a major stake in what happens to people at the end of life.&nbsp; Such a large stake provides a powerful incentive to improve care at the end of life . . . If anyone should have an interest in how people die it is the church.&nbsp; If there exists a group of people a dying person should be able to count on to walk with him through the valley of the shadow of death, it is those who claim to belong to the Good Shepherd.[18]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>According to Blocher, the body of Christ should actively offer three promises to the terminally ill and dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To the best of our ability, we will not allow you to die in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>We will not allow you to die alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>You will not be a burden to anyone.[19]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>These promises are an excellent starting place for the church to begin thinking about its responsibilities in addressing the social crisis which inches ever closer to fully embracing a culture of death.&nbsp; The church must not be silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>BIBLIOGRAPHY\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Beauchamp, Thomas L.&nbsp; “A Reply to Rachels on Active and Passive Euthanasia.”&nbsp;\u003Cem>Contemporary Moral Problems\u003C\u002Fem>, 4th&nbsp;ed., Ed.

Algunos prefieren no vivir bajo tales condiciones.&nbsp; Pero incluso aquellos que quieren vivir pueden enfrentar un deber de morir.[7]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En consecuencia, pide a los “enfermos y debilitados que den un paso al frente y asuman la responsabilidad.”[8] y con respecto a los ancianos afirma, “Haber alcanzado la edad de, digamos, setenta y cinco u ochenta años sin estar listo para morir es en sí mismo un fracaso moral, la señal de una vida fuera de contacto con las realidades básicas de la vida.”[9]&nbsp; Hardwig, en efecto, está diciendo que desear vivir cuando su cuidado es una carga para quienes lo rodean es inmoral.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En vista de este concepto, es bastante significativo que casi dos tercios (63%) de los pacientes en Oregón en 2000, desde la aprobación de la Ley de Muerte con Dignidad que legaliza el PAS en ese estado, informaron que su motivación&nbsp;\u003Cem>principal\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;era evitar “ser una ‘carga para la familia, amigos o cuidadores,’” compare esto con el 26% del año anterior, y se puede ver una tendencia aterradora. [10]&nbsp; Parece que la legalización del suicidio asistido por médicos, el “derecho a morir”, fácilmente se desarrolla en un “deber de morir”, o una sensación de que debe “salir del camino”, para no ser una carga para quienes lo cuidan.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>También es bastante significativo que las Escrituras traten el concepto de llevar cargas.&nbsp; Gálatas 6:2 exhorta a los creyentes a “llevar las cargas los unos de los otros y así cumplir la ley de Cristo”.&nbsp; La ley de Cristo (Juan 13:35-35) era ‘que os améis los unos a los otros’.&nbsp; Así que el amor, en un sentido bíblico, implica llevar las cargas de los demás.&nbsp; Una idea importante aquí es que no debemos considerar a otras personas&nbsp;\u003Cem>como\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;cargas, sino personas&nbsp;\u003Cem>con\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;cargas.&nbsp; Estas cargas no deben llevarse solas, sino que el pueblo de Cristo debe, en verdadera compasión (sufrir con), llevarlas junto con aquellos que están afligidos por ellas.&nbsp; Hay un deber moral explícito e implícito aquí.&nbsp; El deber claro para aquellos sin una carga particular, es no dejar solos en su sufrimiento a aquellos que las tienen.&nbsp; El deber implícito es que aquellos que están sufriendo deben permitirse ser servidos, es decir, estar en un estado de dependencia de los demás.&nbsp; Esto es exactamente lo opuesto a las ideas propuestas por Hardwig, quien siente que es una responsabilidad moral quitarse a sí mismo de ser una carga matándose a sí mismo.[11]&nbsp; John Dunlop captura bien la esencia de esta responsabilidad moral bilateral que se encuentra en Gálatas 6:2.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Los creyentes son ordenados a \"Llevar las cargas los unos de los otros, y de esta manera . . . cumplir la ley de Cristo”.&nbsp; Este mandato es un encargo para ayudar a otros. &nbsp;\u003Cem>Al mismo tiempo, obliga a las personas a permitir que otros las ayuden\u003C\u002Fem>. &nbsp;Los años de vejez a menudo nos enseñan a depender más de los demás. &nbsp;Hay, en efecto, un ministerio de la dependencia. &nbsp;La Iglesia es una comunidad que debe caracterizarse por una verdadera comunión. Debemos participar en la vida de los demás, lo que significa compartir los sufrimientos de los demás. &nbsp;Con frecuencia vemos que el dolor y el sufrimiento pueden disminuirse cuando se comparten dentro de una comunidad solidaria. &nbsp;Uno de nuestros objetivos en la Iglesia debe ser desarrollar una comunidad que pueda sentir profundamente el dolor de los demás. &nbsp;Una de las maneras en que Dios es glorificado en Su Iglesia es cuando los miembros desarrollan una profundidad de comunión suficiente para permitirles llevar las cargas de los demás [12]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Siempre se oye que los amigos de Job no fueron realmente muy amigables, ya que concluyeron apresuradamente que Job sufría de esa manera a causa de algún pecado que había cometido.&nbsp; El libro de Job fue escrito sin duda en parte para desmentir este pensamiento.&nbsp; Job sufrió para la gloria de Dios, y es un grave error decidir de inmediato que el sufrimiento en la vida de alguien indica que ha pecado.&nbsp; Sin embargo, a pesar de la pobre actuación de sus amigos en los diálogos, su amistad es ejemplar cuando escuchan por primera vez la grave desgracia de su amigo.&nbsp; En Job 2:11-13 la Escritura registra,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cuando los tres amigos de Job oyeron acerca de toda esta adversidad que le había sobrevenido, vino cada uno de su lugar: Elifaz temanita, Bildad suhita y Zofar naamatita.

Dyck hace las siguientes observaciones perspicaces.&nbsp; Del ejemplo de Cristo se pueden extraer las siguientes lecciones:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Uno puede servir a los propósitos de Dios simplemente negándose a pedir PAS o eutanasia . . . esto es un testimonio del valor incalculable de la vida . . . [además] el enorme sufrimiento que Jesús experimentó . . . contiene un importante imperativo moral.&nbsp; Jesús esperaba que sus seguidores oraran con Él y le hicieran compañía mientras sufría.[14]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Luego hace una aplicación para todos los que se llaman seguidores de Jesús y lo que este ejemplo significa para nosotros tanto en la medicina como en el ministerio.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En resumen, los seguidores de Jesús deben compasión a quienes sufren.&nbsp; Lo que sucedió en el Huerto de Getsemaní contiene un mensaje muy urgente para todos los que atienden a los enfermos y a los moribundos:&nbsp; No abandonéis al que sufre; orad con él y por él; no rehuséis el sufrimiento que cualquiera de nosotros siente cuando estamos presentes ante quienes están físicamente disminuidos y sufren de cualquier manera.[15]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En otro lugar, Dyck comenta: “Las personas que sufren necesitan el apoyo de los demás; no se debe alentar a las personas que sufren a suicidarse por parte de su comunidad, o esa comunidad deja de ser una comunidad”.[16]&nbsp; El lector debe recordar que los amigos de Job lo miraron y “no lo reconocieron”, pero resistieron mientras él sufría.&nbsp; Esta es nuestra responsabilidad hacia quienes están afligidos de tal manera que quizá no los reconozcamos, o su presencia no sea agradable ni a la vista ni al olfato, lo cual es común cuando las personas están en el proceso de morir.&nbsp; Jesús reprendió a sus discípulos por no sufrir con él, sino por abandonarlo para que lo hiciera solo.&nbsp; Estos ejemplos afirman la importancia de un ministerio de presencia silenciosa y orante al atender a quienes sufren profundamente y están a punto de morir.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>De esto debemos concluir que la presión hacia, o la defensa de, un deber de morir es ajena a un marco ético bíblico.&nbsp; Afirmamos la vida en todo momento y en cada etapa, sin importar cuán débil, dependiente o comprometida esté.&nbsp; La dependencia no puede considerarse un mal ni una condición indeseable.&nbsp; El “individualismo rudo” de la mentalidad estadounidense no solo fomenta el egoísmo, sino que también contribuye a la incapacidad de aceptar ayuda, dando a uno la sensación de que es una carga.&nbsp; Si alguien expresa la idea de ser una carga, o sugiere un deber de morir, o si quienes los cuidan hacen eco de estos sentimientos, la iglesia debe contrarrestar esta mentalidad con una afirmación de su existencia y su valor, e insistir en que&nbsp;\u003Cem>ellos\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;no son una carga, sino que&nbsp;\u003Cem>tienen\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;una carga que vamos a llevar amorosamente con ellos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>CONCLUSIÓN\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Un enfoque bíblico de los problemas al final de la vida no incluye el suicidio asistido ni la eutanasia activa de ningún tipo.&nbsp; Excluye cualquier sugerencia de que las personas sean cargas familiares o sociales que solo estorban.&nbsp; Permite la interrupción del soporte vital cuando se considera que no hace más que prolongar la muerte y mantener a una persona viva mediante medidas completamente artificiales.&nbsp; También permite aliviar el dolor de una persona mediante narcóticos que inducen el sueño.&nbsp; Pero más allá de los aspectos éticos y clínicos de estas preocupaciones, existe una responsabilidad superior para la iglesia ante los problemas al final de la vida que enfrenta nuestra cultura.&nbsp; Esta crisis social ofrece otra rica oportunidad para que la iglesia ministre y brille como luces en el mundo” “en medio de una generación torcida y perversa.”[17]&nbsp; Mark Blocher ha observado con perspicacia que,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Más que nadie, los cristianos tienen un gran interés en lo que les sucede a las personas al final de la vida.&nbsp; Un interés tan grande proporciona un poderoso incentivo para mejorar la atención al final de la vida . . . Si alguien debe tener interés en cómo mueren las personas, es la iglesia.&nbsp; Si existe un grupo de personas en el que una persona moribunda debería poder confiar para acompañarla por el valle de la sombra de la muerte, son aquellos que afirman pertenecer al Buen Pastor.[18]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Según Blocher, el cuerpo de Cristo debe ofrecer activamente tres promesas a los enfermos terminales y moribundos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En la medida de nuestras posibilidades, no permitiremos que mueras con dolor.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No permitiremos que mueras solo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No serás una carga para nadie.[19]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Estas promesas son un excelente punto de partida para que la iglesia comience a reflexionar sobre sus responsabilidades al abordar la crisis social que se acerca cada vez más a abrazar plenamente una cultura de muerte.&nbsp; La iglesia no debe permanecer en silencio.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>BIBLIOGRAFÍA\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Beauchamp, Thomas L.&nbsp; “A Reply to Rachels on Active and Passive Euthanasia.”&nbsp;\u003Cem>Contemporary Moral Problems\u003C\u002Fem>, 4th&nbsp;ed., Ed.

Il soutient, d’un point de vue utilitariste, que nous pouvons avoir le devoir de mourir en nous suicidant afin de ne pas trop accabler notre famille. Il déclare,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Un devoir de mourir est plus probable lorsque le fait de continuer à vivre imposera des fardeaux importants — fardeaux émotionnels, soins intensifs, destruction des projets de vie [d’autrui] et, oui, difficultés financières — à votre famille et à vos proches. C’est le principe fondamental qui sous-tend un devoir de mourir.[2]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hardwig considère les obligations envers sa propre famille comme primordiales tout au long de la vie, et pas moins au moment de mourir ; ainsi, « L’impact de mes décisions sur ma famille et mes proches est la source de beaucoup de mes obligations les plus fortes et aussi la base la plus plausible et la plus probable d’un devoir de mourir ».[3]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wesley J. Smith observe : « cela peut sembler une pensée marginale, mais c’est troublant de constater à quel point cela se rapproche du courant dominant », et explique que Hardwig a rédigé ses articles expliquant ce devoir dans \u003Cem>The Hastings Report\u003C\u002Fem>, « l’une des principales revues de bioéthique au monde ».[4] Grâce à ce forum, explique Smith, « le devoir de mourir est activement discuté au sein de la bioéthique comme un sujet de discours respectable, et peu de sourcils se lèvent ».[5] Hardwig parle même du devoir de mourir dans un contexte clinique. C’est là que son langage utilitariste devient particulièrement troublant.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les médecins ne seraient plus les agents de leurs patients et ne s’efforceraient pas de défendre les intérêts de leurs patients. Au lieu de cela, le médecin aspirerait à être un conseiller impartial qui se tiendrait, avec connaissance mais avec sympathie, à l’écart… et déterminerait le traitement qui harmoniserait ou équilibrerait le mieux les intérêts de toutes les parties concernées.[6]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Quel état triste et tout à fait déplorable cela envisage-t-il. Au lieu d’être des personnes à soigner, les mourants seraient considérés, et \u003Cem>amenés à se considérer eux-mêmes\u003C\u002Fem>, comme des fardeaux pour leurs familles, et indignes de ressources médicales ou autres. Comprenez également que Hardwig ne veut pas que les personnes âgées et malades attendent d’être incompétentes et manifestement en phase terminale avant de se soumettre à ce « devoir de mourir ».\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Permettez-moi d’être clair… il peut y avoir un devoir de mourir avant que la maladie ne cause la mort, même si elle est traitée uniquement par des mesures palliatives. En fait, il peut y avoir une responsabilité assez courante de mettre fin à sa vie en l’absence de toute maladie terminale. Enfin, il peut y avoir un devoir de mourir lorsque l’on préférerait vivre. Certes, nombre des conditions qui peuvent générer un devoir de mourir compromettent également sérieusement la qualité de vie. Certains préfèrent ne pas vivre dans de telles conditions. Mais même ceux qui veulent vivre peuvent être confrontés à un devoir de mourir.[7]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Par conséquent, il demande aux « malades et affaiblis de prendre leurs responsabilités ».[8] et, concernant les personnes âgées, affirme : « Avoir atteint l’âge de, disons, soixante-quinze ou quatre-vingts ans sans être prêt à mourir est en soi un échec moral, le signe d’une vie déconnectée des réalités fondamentales de la vie ».[9] Hardwig dit, en substance, que désirer vivre lorsque vos soins sont un fardeau pour ceux qui vous entourent est immoral.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>À la lumière de ce concept, il est tout à fait significatif que près des deux tiers (63 %) des patients de l’Oregon en 2000, depuis l’adoption de la loi Death with Dignity Act légalisant le PAS dans cet État, aient déclaré que leur motivation \u003Cem>principale\u003C\u002Fem> était d’éviter « d’être un “fardeau pour la famille, les amis ou les soignants” », comparé à 26 % l’année précédente, et l’on peut voir une tendance effrayante.[10] Il semble que la légalisation du suicide assisté par un médecin, le « droit de mourir », se transforme facilement en un « devoir de mourir », ou en un sentiment que vous devez « vous écarter du chemin », afin de ne pas être un fardeau pour ceux qui s’occupent de vous.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il est également tout à fait significatif que les Écritures traitent du concept du portage des fardeaux. Galates 6:2 exhorte les croyants à « porter les fardeaux les uns des autres et ainsi accomplir la loi du Christ ». La loi du Christ (Jean 13:34-35) était « que vous vous aimiez les uns les autres ». Ainsi, l’amour, dans un sens biblique, implique de porter les fardeaux des autres. Un aperçu important ici est que nous ne devons pas considérer les autres comme des fardeaux, mais plutôt comme des personnes \u003Cem>avec\u003C\u002Fem> des fardeaux. Ces fardeaux ne doivent pas être portés seuls, mais le peuple du Christ devrait, dans une véritable compassion (souffrir avec), les porter avec ceux qui en sont affligés. Il y a ici un devoir moral explicite et implicite. Le devoir clair pour ceux qui n’ont pas un fardeau particulier est de ne pas laisser ceux qui en ont un seuls dans leur souffrance. Le devoir implicite est que ceux qui souffrent doivent se laisser servir, c’est-à-dire être dans un état de dépendance envers autrui. C’est exactement le contraire des idées proposées par Hardwig, qui estime qu’il est d’une responsabilité morale de se retirer en tant que fardeau en se tuant soi-même.[11] John Dunlop capture bien l’essence de cette responsabilité morale bilatérale que l’on trouve dans Galates 6:2.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les croyants sont commandés de « Porter les fardeaux les uns des autres, et ainsi… accomplir la loi du Christ ». Ce commandement est une charge d’aider les autres. &nbsp;\u003Cem>En même temps, cela oblige les gens à permettre aux autres de les aider\u003C\u002Fem>. &nbsp;Les années plus avancées nous enseignent souvent à dépendre davantage des autres. &nbsp;Il existe, en effet, un ministère de la dépendance. &nbsp;L'Église est une communauté qui doit se caractériser par une véritable communion. Nous devons participer à la vie les uns des autres, ce qui signifie partager les souffrances les unes des autres. &nbsp;Combien de fois voyons-nous que la douleur et la souffrance peuvent être diminuées lorsqu'elles sont partagées au sein d'une communauté bienveillante. &nbsp;L'un de nos objectifs dans l'Église doit être de développer une communauté capable de ressentir profondément la douleur les uns des autres. &nbsp;L'une des façons dont Dieu est glorifié dans Son Église est lorsque les membres développent une profondeur de communion suffisante pour leur permettre de porter les fardeaux les uns des autres [12]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On entend toujours dire que les amis de Job n'étaient pas vraiment amicaux en ce sens qu'ils ont hâtivement conclu que Job souffrait comme il le faisait à cause d'un péché qu'il avait commis.&nbsp; Le livre de Job a sans doute été partiellement écrit pour réfuter cette pensée.&nbsp; Job a souffert pour la gloire de Dieu, et c'est une grave erreur de décider immédiatement que la souffrance dans la vie de quelqu'un indique qu'il a péché.&nbsp; Pourtant, malgré la piètre performance de ses amis dans les dialogues, leur amitié est exemplaire lorsqu'ils entendent pour la première fois le grave malheur de leur ami.&nbsp; Dans Job 2:11-13, l'Écriture rapporte,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lorsque les trois amis de Job apprirent tout ce malheur qui lui était arrivé, ils vinrent chacun de son lieu, Éliphaz de Témân, Bildad de Shuach, et Tsophar de Naama. Car&nbsp;\u003Cem>ils s'étaient concertés pour venir le plaindre et le consoler.\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp; Ayant de loin porté les yeux, ils ne le reconnurent point, et ils élevèrent la voix et pleurèrent ; et chacun déchira son manteau, et jeta de la poussière vers le ciel sur sa tête.&nbsp; Et&nbsp;\u003Cem>ils s'assirent avec lui par terre pendant sept jours et sept nuits, sans lui dire une parole, parce qu'ils voyaient combien sa douleur était grande\u003C\u002Fem>.(Emphases de cet auteur)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il y a définitivement une place pour un ministère de présence silencieuse, surtout auprès de ceux qui sont en train de mourir.&nbsp; Un ministère auprès des mourants et de leurs familles devrait au minimum comporter cela.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La signification d'un tel ministère pour ceux qui vont mourir est vue dans une beauté vive dans la vie de notre Seigneur.[13]&nbsp; Dans les affres de son angoissante anticipation de sa propre mort, Jésus donne un mandat simple, mais souvent négligé, à ses disciples de « veiller et prier » avec Lui.&nbsp; Il refuse également de succomber à son propre désir d'éliminer complètement la souffrance.&nbsp; En réunissant ces deux idées, Arthur J. Dyck fait les observations perspicaces suivantes.&nbsp; De l'exemple du Christ, on peut tirer les leçons suivantes :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On peut servir les desseins de Dieu simplement en refusant de demander le PAS ou l'euthanasie . . . c'est un témoignage de la valeur incalculable de la vie . . . [de plus] l'énorme souffrance que Jésus a éprouvée . . . contient un impératif moral important.&nbsp; Jésus s'attendait à ce que ses disciples prient avec Lui, et soient ses compagnons pendant qu'Il souffrait.[14]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il fait ensuite une application pour tous ceux qui s'appellent disciples de Jésus et ce que cet exemple signifie pour nous tant en médecine qu'en ministère.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En bref, les disciples de Jésus doivent de la compassion à ceux qui souffrent.&nbsp; Ce qui s'est passé dans le Jardin de Gethsémané contient un message très urgent pour tous ceux qui soignent les malades et les mourants :&nbsp; N'abandonnez pas les souffrants ; priez avec eux et pour eux ; ne fuyez pas la souffrance que nous ressentons tous lorsque nous sommes présents auprès de ceux qui sont physiquement diminués et qui souffrent de quelque manière que ce soit.[15]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ailleurs, Dyck remarque : « Les personnes qui souffrent ont besoin du soutien des autres ; les personnes qui souffrent ne devraient pas être encouragées à se suicider par leur communauté, ou cette communauté cesse d'être une communauté ».[16]&nbsp; Le lecteur devrait se rappeler que les amis de Job l'ont regardé et « ne l'ont pas reconnu » mais ont tenu bon pendant qu'il pleurait.&nbsp; C'est notre responsabilité envers ceux qui sont affligés d'une manière telle que nous ne pouvons pas les reconnaître, ou que leur présence n'est agréable ni à la vue ni à l'odeur, ce qui est courant lorsque les gens sont en train de mourir.&nbsp; Jésus a réprimandé ses disciples pour ne pas avoir souffert avec lui, mais pour l'avoir abandonné pour qu'il le fasse seul.&nbsp; Ces exemples affirment l'importance d'un ministère de présence silencieuse et priante lorsqu'on s'occupe de ceux qui souffrent profondément et qui sont sur le point de mourir.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>De cela, nous devons conclure que la pression vers, ou l'adoption d'un devoir de mourir est étrangère à un cadre éthique biblique.&nbsp; Nous affirmons la vie à chaque point et à chaque étape, peu importe à quel point elle est faible, dépendante ou compromise.&nbsp; La dépendance ne peut pas être considérée comme un mal ou une condition indésirable.&nbsp; L'« individualisme farouche » de la mentalité américaine non seulement favorise l'égoïsme, mais contribue également à l'incapacité d'accepter l'aide, donnant à une personne le sentiment qu'elle est un fardeau.&nbsp; Si quelqu'un exprime la notion d'être un fardeau, ou suggère un devoir de mourir, ou si ceux qui s'occupent d'eux font écho à ces sentiments, l'église doit contrer cette mentalité par une affirmation de leur existence et de leur valeur, et insister sur le fait que&nbsp;\u003Cem>ils\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;ne sont pas un fardeau, mais qu'ils&nbsp;\u003Cem>ont\u003C\u002Fem>&nbsp;un fardeau que nous allons porter avec amour avec eux.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>CONCLUSION\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Une approche biblique des questions de fin de vie n’inclut ni le suicide assisté ni l’euthanasie active d’aucune sorte.&nbsp; Elle exclut toute suggestion selon laquelle les personnes seraient des fardeaux familiaux ou sociaux qui ne font que gêner.&nbsp; Elle autorise toutefois l’arrêt des traitements de maintien en vie lorsqu’on estime qu’ils ne font que prolonger la mort et maintenir une personne en vie par des moyens entièrement artificiels.&nbsp; Elle permet également d’aider une personne à soulager sa douleur au moyen de narcotiques induisant le sommeil.&nbsp; Mais au-delà des aspects éthiques et cliniques de ces préoccupations, l’Église porte une responsabilité plus élevée face aux questions de fin de vie auxquelles notre culture est confrontée.&nbsp; Cette crise sociétale offre à l’Église une nouvelle occasion précieuse de servir et de briller comme des lumières dans le monde «&nbsp;au milieu d’une génération perverse et corrompue&nbsp;».[17]&nbsp; Mark Blocher a judicieusement observé que,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Plus que quiconque, les chrétiens ont un intérêt majeur dans ce qui arrive aux personnes à la fin de leur vie.&nbsp; Un tel enjeu constitue une puissante incitation à améliorer les soins en fin de vie . . . Si quelqu’un doit s’intéresser à la manière dont les gens meurent, c’est bien l’Église.&nbsp; S’il existe un groupe de personnes sur lequel une personne mourante devrait pouvoir compter pour l’accompagner dans la vallée de l’ombre de la mort, ce sont ceux qui prétendent appartenir au Bon Berger.[18]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Selon Blocher, le corps du Christ devrait activement offrir trois promesses aux personnes en phase terminale et mourantes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dans la mesure de nos possibilités, nous ne vous laisserons pas mourir dans la douleur.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Nous ne vous laisserons pas mourir seul.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Vous ne serez un fardeau pour personne.[19]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ces promesses constituent un excellent point de départ pour que l’Église commence à réfléchir à ses responsabilités face à la crise sociale qui s’approche toujours plus près d’une adhésion totale à une culture de mort.&nbsp; L’Église ne doit pas se taire.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>BIBLIOGRAPHIE\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Beauchamp, Thomas L.&nbsp; «&nbsp;Une réponse à Rachels sur l’euthanasie active et passive.&nbsp;»&nbsp;\u003Cem>Contemporary Moral Problems\u003C\u002Fem>, 4e&nbsp;éd., éd.

In a world filled with religions many tend to see Christianity as simply another religion. If we view the world religions from far away, we notice the major world religions as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism. However, if we move in for a closer look, we see hundreds of religions that represent branches of those major religious. When we get even closer, we see thousands of home-grown religious practices found in the different people groups over the centuries. Many in our westernized culture would prefer not to be a part of a religious group. They claim that they are spiritual, but that they are not religious.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What is it that they really mean? Historical and archeological evidence shows that people have always looked for something that is greater than they are. Historical records reveal that in every culture, there has been some type of belief in a supernatural power. This is just one example that reveals that there is something inside of every person that seeks something beyond ourselves. If we really want to understand other world religions, we need to take a step back and do our best to learn about the different worldviews that these religions represent. The following are only brief definitions of the worldviews from which all regions stem:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Theism – the belief in the existence of a supreme &nbsp;Being (God)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Atheism – the view that does not believe in the existence of a God\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> Polytheism –the view that there are many gods, which contradicts the idea of a supreme Being\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> Pantheism – the worldview that God is all things, in other words everything is God\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Agnosticism – the view that one cannot truly know if there is a God\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Henotheism – the belief that there is one god who is above other gods\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Monotheism – the view that only one God exists\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A popular worldview in the West is that there is one Supreme Being or “force” that everyone seeks. Every religion is an expression of the spiritual search for this force.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This belief in a one force or Supreme Being is a monotheistic concept. This means that there is one main god that rules over all creation. Many people believe that all the different religions are personal ideas of how to tap into this one cosmic god-force. The word for this type of idea is called “pluralism.” For instance, many believe that someone like the Dali Lama has found the path to this force.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>People seek out the Dali Lama for advice and words of wisdom so that they can be closer to finding eternal peace. The idea of coexisting comes from this thought that everyone is seeking the same god and that all faiths are equally true and will lead to eternal bliss. You will find that everyone wants to live a peaceful existence instead of one filled with conflict. People everywhere have a similar desired code of values. These values are believed to help a society to be at peace if obeyed. They are as follows:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Be fair to others\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Do not murder\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Nurture the children in the community\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Do not steal from each other\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Obey your parents and honor the older generations\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> Do not lie \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> Love each other and be at peace\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When people break any of these values or rules it causes a disturbance in the community. This disturbance will then cause unrest. The unrest will create stress and tension between individuals. People throughout history have tried to follow these rules, but have failed miserably. The way that people try to follow the above values will reflect what each person believes about God.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This is where religion steps in. It is also where a person’s core beliefs about life and God are seen. Religion means different things to different people, so for our purposes we will use a basic definition from world religions’ scholar, Winifred Corduan. &nbsp;He states that; a religion is a system of beliefs and practices that directs a person toward the spiritual and thus provides meaning and understanding to a person’s life.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A quick look at the reality around us will reveal that there is harmony between people until they are faced with an outside conflict. This means that everything is peaceful as long as everyone agrees with each other. Unfortunately, no one agrees with everyone else all of the time. Our environment is the major cause for disunity between individuals and communities. Not everyone has the same amount of money. Not everyone thinks alike. There are only a certain amount of natural resources. All of these things cause problems for people and between people.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It is in the midst of strife that people begin to reflect on the purpose of their existence as they struggle to survive and understand the meaning of life. It’s not unusual to find that many people throughout history have used religious practices as tools in their attempt to change the different situations in their life. A person who turns to religion as a way to change their circumstances sees religion as functional. In other words, they will seek God when they feel that their troubles are beyond their ability to help themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A functional view of religion is very different from the view that seeks a religion for the truth claims that it makes. It seems natural for humans to only seek God when things get bad for them. For instance, in the Christian Bible, the God of Israel warns the people that once they are living comfortable lives, they will forget how He has cared for and guided them for many years (Deut. 8:10-20). Human nature has not changed. When people find themselves in trouble, they seek out some sort of supernatural help. When people become desperate they may even begin to make wild promises to change the way that they live if their demands are met. Once they are cured or saved from whatever their problem was, they conveniently forget about God and continue living as they had been.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For the person who thinks that religions are nothing more than a set of rituals that will do something for them in the end, it will seem that all religions are simply different was of seeking the same end results. However, this is a false view of God. This is only a surface view because religions are very different from each other, at the core. If we are honest about it, deep down we are all seeking the answers to life’s big questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Why am I here?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Why is anything here?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Is there really an Ultimate Being (God)?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Does this God interact with His creation?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Who is Jesus?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What happens when I die?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Why would I need to be “saved”?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The way that we answer these questions is in the differences of the various religions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Buddhism says there is no God – only a return to being at one with the universe (like a drop of water blending back into an ocean).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hinduism claims there are many gods and Brahman is in everything and in each person, they only need to rediscover that inner god in order to reach the state of nirvana (eternal bliss).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Major monotheistic faiths (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) do believe in one supreme God. But, out of the three monotheistic religions only Christianity recognizes the human plight of original sin.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Bible is full of examples of how humanity falls far short of the perfection that people see as the standard code of values mentioned above. There is a deep sense inside of all people that we are sinful. Sin is something that people don’t want to talk about. Everyone would rather believe that humans are innately “good” and are simply prone to make mistakes. Unfortunately, we only need to look around at the real world to see that the problems that plague humanity stem from much more than people making mistakes. Crimes against humanity come in many different disguises. The sneakiest crimes are those that are protected by government legislation under the pretense of equal rights.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Only Christianity recognizes the sinfulness of humankind and sees it for what it truly is (bondage). The human soul is locked into a constant state of turmoil because we are always bothered by something or someone in our lives. The Bible points out that the human mind is forever scheming (Gen. 6:5; Jer. 17:9). Sin in its most basic definition means to miss the mark (as an archer might miss the bull’s eye). Even if we do everything that seems righteous to the outside world, we cannot escape our own thoughts (James 1:14-16, 4:1). If we cannot escape our sinful selves then how will we ever achieve the perfection expected by a just God?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>How will we ever attain freedom from our own selves? This is where the separation between Christianity and all other religions becomes the most evident. Unlike all other religions, Christianity makes truth claims that are grounded in reality and not personal opinions. All other religions are based on some form of works-type system. Christianity is based on a trusting faith (not to be confused with a blind-faith) (Gal. 2:16).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Christianity does not rely on a set of rituals and “good deeds” to save someone from hell, like other religions do. God set down his guidelines that are recorded in the Bible to convict (point out) us of sin. There is no way anyone can follow his expectations of perfection because of the sin inside of us (Rom. 3:20). His expectations are there because God, as Creator, knows how we are formed and that any change from his guidelines will cause pain and strife in our lives. Our sin may also lead others into sinful behavior. Sin is bondage and ultimately leads to death (James 1:15). It leads to death because it cuts us off from the source of life, God.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because God is absolutely perfect, He is absolutely just as well. Any deviation from His guidelines represents our rejection of Him. When we reject God, we sin against Him. If God is to judge justly, there will be no favoritism in the end (Gal. 2:6). A Christian’s good works should represent their love for God, not to gain any advantage in His kingdom. The Creator cannot be manipulated. God calls us to love him (Deut. 6:5-9) because he desires a one-on-one relationship with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The better we know God the more we understand his ways. The better we know God the more we are aware of his love for us. The better we know God the more we love Him for who he is, and begin to live to please Him. Because of humanity’s tendency to sin, it was necessary for God to send a Savior because we are unable to redeem ourselves. Jesus is God’s offer of salvation to the world, but people are required to respond by coming to know God through Christ (John 6:44, 14:6-8), and that requires reading Scripture as you seek understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No other religion recognizes innate sin. Other religions do not see that we continually sin against our Creator by rejecting his ways. If there is no human depravity then there is no need for a Savior. If there is no need for a Savior, then a person is left with a system of works to make their own way to heaven. The only problem with a works-based system is; there is no way to claim who decides if your efforts are good enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Those who would like to learn more about this topic are encouraged to check out the following resources:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>ONLINE RESOURCES\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Frzim.org\u002F?s=world+religions\">http:\u002F\u002Frzim.org\u002F?s=world+religions\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.ligonier.org\u002Fblog\u002Fpluralism-and-relativism-its-all-relative-pt-1\u002F\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.ligonier.org\u002Fblog\u002Fpluralism-and-relativism-its-all-relative-pt-1\u002F\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.whitehorseinn.org\u002Fshow\u002Fpluralism-the-american-religion\u002F\">https:\u002F\u002Fwww.whitehorseinn.org\u002Fshow\u002Fpluralism-the-american-religion\u002F\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>PRINT RESOURCES\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Winfred Corduan - Neighboring Faiths:\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0830839704\"> https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0830839704\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Irving Hexham - Understanding Word Religions:\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002FB0050BLYK4\"> https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002FB0050BLYK4\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>","how-is-the-christian-religion-different-from-all-the-other-world-religions","2026-07-29T15:39:28.310Z","https:\u002F\u002Fs3.amazonaws.com\u002Ftruelife1\u002Ficons\u002F111\u002Fanswerthumbnails\u002Ffull.jpg","¿Cómo es la religión cristiana diferente de todas las otras religiones del mundo?","\u003Cp>Esta es una pregunta muy natural.

Este es solo un ejemplo que revela que hay algo dentro de cada persona que busca algo m&aacute;s all&aacute; de nosotros mismos. Si realmente queremos entender otras religiones del mundo, debemos dar un paso atr&aacute;s y hacer todo lo posible para aprender sobre las diferentes cosmovisiones que representan estas religiones.

La naturaleza humana no ha cambiado. Cuando las personas se encuentran en problemas, buscan alg&uacute;n tipo de ayuda sobrenatural. Cuando las personas se desesperan, incluso pueden comenzar a hacer promesas salvajes para cambiar la forma en que viven si se cumplen sus demandas.

El pecado en su definici&oacute;n m&aacute;s b&aacute;sica significa perder la marca (como un arquero podr&iacute;a perder el ojo del toro). Incluso si hacemos todo lo que parece justo para el mundo exterior, no podemos escapar de nuestros propios pensamientos (Santiago 1: 14-16, 4: 1).

A diferencia de todas las dem&aacute;s religiones, el cristianismo hace afirmaciones de verdad que se basan en la realidad y no en opiniones personales. Todas las dem&aacute;s religiones se basan en alguna forma de sistema de tipo de obras.

No hay forma de que alguien pueda seguir sus expectativas de perfecci&oacute;n debido al pecado dentro de nosotros (Rom. 3:20). Sus expectativas est&aacute;n ah&iacute; porque Dios, como Creador, sabe c&oacute;mo estamos formados y que cualquier cambio de sus pautas causar&aacute; dolor y conflictos en nuestras vidas. Nuestro pecado tambi&eacute;n puede conducir a otros a un comportamiento pecaminoso. El pecado es esclavitud y finalmente conduce a la muerte (Santiago 1:15).

Las buenas obras de un cristiano deben representar su amor por Dios, no para obtener ninguna ventaja en su reino. El Creador no puede ser manipulado.

Dans un monde rempli de religions, beaucoup ont tendance à voir le christianisme comme une religion parmi d’autres. Si nous observons les religions du monde de loin, nous remarquons les grandes religions mondiales que sont le judaïsme, le christianisme, l’islam et l’hindouisme. Cependant, si nous nous rapprochons, nous voyons des centaines de religions qui représentent des branches de ces grandes religions. En nous rapprochant encore davantage, nous voyons des milliers de pratiques religieuses locales propres aux différents groupes de peuples au fil des siècles. Beaucoup, dans notre culture occidentalisée, préfèrent ne pas faire partie d’un groupe religieux. Ils affirment qu’ils sont spirituels, mais qu’ils ne sont pas religieux.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Que veulent-ils vraiment dire ? Les preuves historiques et archéologiques montrent que les gens ont toujours cherché quelque chose de plus grand qu’eux-mêmes. Les archives historiques révèlent que, dans chaque culture, il y a eu une forme de croyance en un pouvoir surnaturel. C’est un exemple qui révèle qu’il y a quelque chose, à l’intérieur de chaque personne, qui cherche quelque chose au-delà de nous-mêmes. Si nous voulons vraiment comprendre les autres religions du monde, nous devons prendre du recul et faire de notre mieux pour apprendre les différentes visions du monde que ces religions représentent. Voici seulement des définitions brèves des visions du monde à partir desquelles toutes les religions découlent :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Théisme – la croyance en l’existence d’un Être suprême (Dieu)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Athéisme – la position qui ne croit pas en l’existence d’un Dieu\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Polythéisme – la position selon laquelle il existe de nombreux dieux, ce qui contredit l’idée d’un Être suprême\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Panthéisme – la vision du monde selon laquelle Dieu est toutes choses, autrement dit tout est Dieu\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Agnosticisme – la position selon laquelle on ne peut vraiment pas savoir s’il existe un Dieu\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hénothéisme – la croyance qu’il existe un dieu qui est au-dessus des autres dieux\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Monothéisme – la position selon laquelle un seul Dieu existe\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Une vision du monde populaire en Occident est qu’il existe un Être suprême ou une « force » que tout le monde recherche. Chaque religion est une expression de la quête spirituelle de cette force.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cette croyance en une force unique ou en un Être suprême est un concept monothéiste. Cela signifie qu’il existe un dieu principal qui règne sur toute la création. Beaucoup de gens croient que toutes les différentes religions sont des idées personnelles sur la manière d’accéder à cette unique force divine cosmique. Le mot pour désigner ce type d’idée est « pluralisme ». Par exemple, beaucoup croient que quelqu’un comme le Dalaï Lama a trouvé le chemin vers cette force.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les gens consultent le Dalaï Lama pour obtenir des conseils et des paroles de sagesse afin de se rapprocher de la paix éternelle. L’idée de coexistence découle de cette pensée selon laquelle tout le monde recherche le même dieu et que toutes les confessions sont également vraies et mèneront à la béatitude éternelle. Vous constaterez que tout le monde veut vivre une existence paisible plutôt qu’une vie remplie de conflits. Partout, les gens ont un code de valeurs souhaité similaire. Ces valeurs sont censées aider une société à être en paix si elles sont respectées. Elles sont les suivantes :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Être juste envers les autres\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ne pas commettre de meurtre\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Prendre soin des enfants de la communauté\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ne pas voler les autres\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Obéir à ses parents et honorer les générations plus âgées\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ne pas mentir\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>S’aimer les uns les autres et être en paix\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lorsque les gens enfreignent l’une de ces valeurs ou règles, cela provoque un trouble dans la communauté. Ce trouble entraîne alors de l’agitation. L’agitation crée du stress et des tensions entre les individus. Tout au long de l’histoire, les gens ont essayé de suivre ces règles, mais ont lamentablement échoué. La manière dont les gens tentent de suivre les valeurs ci-dessus reflète ce que chaque personne croit au sujet de Dieu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>C’est là qu’intervient la religion. C’est aussi là que se révèlent les croyances fondamentales d’une personne sur la vie et sur Dieu. La religion signifie des choses différentes pour des personnes différentes ; c’est pourquoi, pour nos besoins, nous utiliserons une définition de base donnée par le spécialiste des religions du monde, Winifred Corduan. Il affirme qu’une religion est un système de croyances et de pratiques qui oriente une personne vers le spirituel et lui fournit ainsi un sens et une compréhension de sa vie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Un rapide regard sur la réalité qui nous entoure révélera qu’il y a harmonie entre les gens tant qu’ils ne sont pas confrontés à un conflit extérieur. Cela signifie que tout est paisible tant que tout le monde est d’accord les uns avec les autres. Malheureusement, personne n’est d’accord avec tout le monde tout le temps. Notre environnement est la principale cause de désunion entre les individus et les communautés. Tout le monde n’a pas la même quantité d’argent. Tout le monde ne pense pas de la même manière. Il n’y a qu’une certaine quantité de ressources naturelles. Toutes ces choses posent des problèmes aux gens et entre les gens.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>C’est au milieu des conflits que les gens commencent à réfléchir au but de leur existence alors qu’ils luttent pour survivre et comprendre le sens de la vie. Il n’est pas rare de constater que beaucoup de gens, tout au long de l’histoire, ont utilisé les pratiques religieuses comme des outils dans leur tentative de changer les différentes situations de leur vie. Une personne qui se tourne vers la religion pour changer ses circonstances voit la religion comme fonctionnelle. Autrement dit, elle cherchera Dieu lorsqu’elle estimera que ses problèmes dépassent sa capacité à s’aider elle-même.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Une vision fonctionnelle de la religion est très différente de celle qui cherche une religion pour les affirmations de vérité qu’elle émet. Il semble naturel pour les humains de ne chercher Dieu que lorsque les choses vont mal pour eux. Par exemple, dans la Bible chrétienne, le Dieu d’Israël avertit le peuple que, une fois qu’ils vivront dans le confort, ils oublieront comment Il a pris soin d’eux et les a guidés pendant de nombreuses années (Deut. 8:10-20). La nature humaine n’a pas changé. Lorsque les gens se retrouvent en difficulté, ils cherchent une sorte d’aide surnaturelle. Lorsque les gens deviennent désespérés, ils peuvent même commencer à faire des promesses extravagantes de changer leur façon de vivre si leurs demandes sont exaucées. Une fois qu’ils sont guéris ou sauvés de leur problème, ils oublient commodément Dieu et continuent à vivre comme avant.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pour la personne qui pense que les religions ne sont rien d’autre qu’un ensemble de rituels qui lui apporteront quelque chose à la fin, il semblera que toutes les religions ne sont que des moyens différents de rechercher les mêmes résultats. Cependant, c’est une fausse vision de Dieu. Ce n’est qu’une vue superficielle, car les religions sont très différentes les unes des autres, au fond. Si nous sommes honnêtes, au fond de nous, nous cherchons tous des réponses aux grandes questions de la vie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pourquoi suis-je ici ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pourquoi y a-t-il quelque chose ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Existe-t-il vraiment un Être ultime (Dieu) ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ce Dieu interagit-il avec Sa création ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qui est Jésus ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Que se passe-t-il quand je meurs ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pourquoi aurais-je besoin d’être « sauvé » ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>C’est dans la manière dont nous répondons à ces questions que résident les différences entre les diverses religions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le bouddhisme dit qu’il n’y a pas de Dieu – seulement un retour à l’unité avec l’univers (comme une goutte d’eau qui se fond dans un océan).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>L’hindouisme affirme qu’il y a de nombreux dieux et que Brahman est en tout et en chaque personne ; il suffit de redécouvrir ce dieu intérieur pour atteindre l’état de nirvana (béatitude éternelle).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les grandes religions monothéistes (judaïsme, christianisme et islam) croient en un seul Dieu suprême.

Il y a un sentiment profond en chaque personne que nous sommes pécheurs. Le péché est quelque chose dont les gens ne veulent pas parler. Tout le monde préférerait croire que les humains sont « bons » par nature et simplement enclins à commettre des erreurs. Malheureusement, il suffit de regarder le monde réel pour voir que les problèmes qui affligent l’humanité proviennent de bien plus que de simples erreurs. Les crimes contre l’humanité prennent de nombreuses formes différentes. Les plus sournois sont ceux qui sont protégés par la législation gouvernementale sous prétexte d’égalité des droits.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seul le christianisme reconnaît la nature pécheresse de l’humanité et la voit telle qu’elle est vraiment (une servitude). L’âme humaine est enfermée dans un état constant de tourmente parce que nous sommes toujours dérangés par quelque chose ou quelqu’un dans nos vies. La Bible souligne que l’esprit humain est toujours en train de comploter (Gen. 6:5 ; Jér. 17:9). Le péché, dans sa définition la plus élémentaire, signifie manquer la cible (comme un archer qui manque le centre de la cible). Même si nous faisons tout ce qui semble juste aux yeux du monde extérieur, nous ne pouvons échapper à nos propres pensées (Jacques 1:14-16, 4:1). Si nous ne pouvons pas échapper à notre moi pécheur, comment pourrons-nous jamais atteindre la perfection exigée par un Dieu juste ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Comment parviendrons-nous jamais à la liberté par rapport à nous-mêmes ? C’est ici que la séparation entre le christianisme et toutes les autres religions devient la plus évidente. Contrairement à toutes les autres religions, le christianisme fait des affirmations de vérité ancrées dans la réalité et non dans des opinions personnelles. Toutes les autres religions reposent sur une forme de système fondé sur les œuvres. Le christianisme repose sur une foi de confiance (à ne pas confondre avec une foi aveugle) (Gal. 2:16).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le christianisme ne s’appuie pas sur un ensemble de rituels et de « bonnes actions » pour sauver quelqu’un de l’enfer, comme le font les autres religions. Dieu a établi Ses directives, consignées dans la Bible, pour nous convaincre (nous montrer) de notre péché. Il est impossible pour quiconque de répondre à Ses attentes de perfection à cause du péché qui est en nous (Rom. 3:20). Ses attentes existent parce que Dieu, en tant que Créateur, sait comment nous sommes formés et que tout écart par rapport à Ses directives causera de la douleur et des conflits dans nos vies. Notre péché peut aussi entraîner d’autres personnes dans un comportement pécheur. Le péché est une servitude et conduit finalement à la mort (Jacques 1:15). Il conduit à la mort parce qu’il nous coupe de la source de la vie, Dieu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Parce que Dieu est absolument parfait, Il est aussi absolument juste. Tout écart par rapport à Ses directives représente notre rejet de Lui. Lorsque nous rejetons Dieu, nous péchons contre Lui. Si Dieu doit juger avec justice, il n’y aura pas de favoritisme à la fin (Gal. 2:6). Les bonnes œuvres d’un chrétien doivent représenter son amour pour Dieu, et non servir à obtenir un avantage dans Son royaume. Le Créateur ne peut être manipulé. Dieu nous appelle à L’aimer (Deut. 6:5-9) parce qu’Il désire une relation personnelle avec nous.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Plus nous connaissons Dieu, plus nous comprenons Ses voies. Plus nous connaissons Dieu, plus nous sommes conscients de Son amour pour nous. Plus nous connaissons Dieu, plus nous L’aimons pour ce qu’Il est, et nous commençons à vivre pour Lui plaire. À cause de la tendance de l’humanité à pécher, il a été nécessaire que Dieu envoie un Sauveur, car nous sommes incapables de nous racheter nous-mêmes. Jésus est l’offre de salut de Dieu au monde, mais les gens doivent y répondre en venant à connaître Dieu par Christ (Jean 6:44, 14:6-8), ce qui nécessite de lire les Écritures tout en cherchant la compréhension.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>Aucune autre religion ne reconnaît le péché inné. Les autres religions ne voient pas que nous péchons continuellement contre notre Créateur en rejetant ses voies. S'il n'y a pas de dépravation humaine, alors il n'y a pas besoin d'un Sauveur. S'il n'y a pas besoin d'un Sauveur, alors une personne se retrouve avec un système d'œuvres pour se frayer son propre chemin vers le ciel. Le seul problème avec un système basé sur les œuvres est qu'il n'y a aucun moyen de prétendre que quelqu'un décide si vos efforts sont suffisamment bons.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>

다른 점은 무엇인가?","\u003Cp>이것은 매우 자연스러운 질문입니다. 종교로 가득 찬 세상에서 많은 사람들은 기독교를 단순히 또 하나의 종교로 보는 경향이 있습니다. 세계 종교들을 멀리서 바라보면 유대교, 기독교, 이슬람교, 힌두교와 같은 주요 세계 종교들을 발견하게 됩니다. 그러나 더 가까이 다가가서 보면, 그 주요 종교들의 분파를 나타내는 수백 개의 종교들을 보게 됩니다. 더 가까이 다가가면, 수세기에 걸쳐 다양한 민족 집단에서 발견되는 수천 개의 토착 종교 관습들을 보게 됩니다. 서구화된 문화 속의 많은 사람들은 종교 집단의 일원이 되기를 원하지 않습니다. 그들은 영적이지만 종교적이지는 않다고

어떤 형태의 믿음이 존재해왔다는 것을 드러냅니다. 이것은 모든 사람의 내면에 우리 자신을 넘어서는 무언가를 추구하는 것이 있다는 것을 드러내는 한 가지 예입니다. 다른 세계 종교들을 진정으로 이해하고자 한다면, 한 걸음 물러서서 이러한 종교들이 나타내는 다양한 세계관에 대해 배우기 위해 최선을 다해야 합니다. 다음은 모든 종교가 유래하는 세계관들에 대한

접근하는 방법에 대한 개인적인 생각이라고 믿습니다. 이러한 유형의 생각을 일컫는 말은 “다원주의”입니다. 예를 들어, 많은 사람들은 달라이 라마와 같은 사람이 이 힘으로 가는 길을 찾았다고 믿습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>사람들은 영원한 평화를

가치 규범을 가지고 있습니다. 이러한 가치들은 지켜지면 사회가 평화로워지는 데 도움이 된다고 믿어집니다. 그것들은 다음과 같습니다:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>다른 사람들에게 공정하게 대하라\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>살인하지

노력해왔지만, 비참하게 실패해왔습니다. 사람들이 위의 가치들을 따르려고 하는 방식은 각 사람이 하나님에 대해 믿는 바를 반영할 것입니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>여기서 종교가 개입합니다. 또한 개인의 삶과 하나님에 대한 핵심 신념이 드러나는 곳이기도 합니다. 종교는 사람마다 다른 의미를 가지므로, 우리의 목적을 위해 세계 종교 학자인 위니프레드 코르두안의 기본적인 정의를 사용하겠습니다. 그는 종교란 영적인 것을 향해 사람을 인도하고 따라서 개인의 삶에 의미와 이해를 제공하는 신념과 관습의 체계라고 말합니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>우리 주변의 현실을 간단히 살펴보면, 사람들이 외부 갈등에 직면할 때까지는 사람들 사이에 조화가 있다는 것을 알 수 있습니다. 이것은 모든 사람이 서로 동의하는 한 모든 것이 평화롭다는 것을 의미합니다. 불행히도, 누구도 항상 모든 사람과 동의하지는 않습니다. 우리의 환경이 개인과 공동체 사이의 불화의 주요 원인입니다. 모든 사람이 같은 양의 돈을 가지고 있지 않습니다. 모든 사람이 같은 방식으로 생각하지 않습니다. 천연자원에는 한정된 양이 있습니다. 이 모든 것들이 사람들에게 그리고 사람들 사이에 문제를 야기합니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>분쟁의 한가운데서 사람들은 생존을 위해 고군분투하고 삶의 의미를 이해하려고 노력하면서 자신의 존재 목적에 대해 성찰하기 시작합니다. 역사적으로 많은 사람들이 삶의 다양한 상황을 변화시키려는 시도에서 종교적 관습을 도구로 사용해온 것을 발견하는 것은 드문 일이 아닙니다. 자신의 상황을 변화시키는 방법으로 종교에 의지하는 사람은 종교를 기능적으로 봅니다. 다시 말해, 그들은 자신의 문제가 스스로 도울 수 있는 능력을 넘어선다고 느낄 때 하나님을 찾을 것입니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>종교에 대한 기능적 관점은 종교가 제시하는 진리 주장을 추구하는 관점과는 매우 다릅니다. 인간은 곤경에 처했을 때에만 하나님을 찾는 것이 자연스러운 일처럼 보입니다. 예를 들어, 기독교 성경에서 이스라엘의 하나님은 백성들에게 편안한 삶을 살게 되면 오랜 세월 동안 그분이 어떻게 돌보고 인도하셨는지를 잊어버릴 것이라고 경고하십니다(신 8:10-20). 인간의 본성은 변하지 않았습니다. 사람들은 곤경에 처하면 초자연적인 도움을 구합니다. 절박해지면 자신의 요구가 이루어진다면 삶의 방식을 바꾸겠다는 과장된 약속을 하기도 합니다. 그러나 문제가 해결되거나 구원을 받으면 편리하게 하나님을 잊고 이전처럼 살아갑니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>종교가 결국 자신에게 무엇인가를 해주는 일련의 의식에 불과하다고 생각하는 사람에게는 모든 종교가 동일한 결과를 추구하는 서로 다른 방식처럼 보일 것입니다. 그러나 이것은 하나님에 대한 잘못된 관점입니다. 이는 표면적인 관점일 뿐입니다. 왜냐하면 종교들은 그 핵심에서 서로 매우 다르기 때문입니다. 솔직하게 말하면, 우리 모두는 삶의 큰 질문들에 대한 답을 깊이 추구하고 있습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>나는 왜 여기에

인간이 본래 “선”하며 단지 실수를 저지르기 쉽다고 믿고 싶어합니다. 안타깝게도, 우리는 현실 세계를 둘러보는 것만으로도 인류를 괴롭히는 문제들이 단순히 사람들이 실수를 저지르는 것 이상에서 비롯된다는 것을 알 수 있습니다. 인류에 대한 범죄는 다양한 형태로 나타납니다. 가장 교활한 범죄는 평등권이라는 구실 아래 정부 입법으로 보호받는

계략을 꾸민다고 지적합니다(창 6:5; 렘 17:9). 죄의 가장 기본적인 정의는 과녁을 맞히지 못하는 것(궁수가 과녁의 중심을 맞히지 못하는 것처럼)입니다. 우리가 겉으로 보기에 의로운 모든 것을 행한다 할지라도, 우리는 우리 자신의 생각에서 벗어날 수 없습니다(약 1:14-16, 4:1). 우리가 죄 많은 자신에게서 벗어날 수 없다면 어떻게 공의로우신

주장을 하며 개인적인 의견에 근거하지 않습니다. 다른 모든 종교는 어떤 형태의 행위 중심 체계에 기반합니다. 기독교는 (맹목적인 믿음과 혼동해서는 안 되는) 신뢰하는 믿음에 기반합니다(갈 2:16).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>기독교는 다른 종교들처럼 누군가를 지옥에서 구원하기 위해 일련의 의식과 “선행”에 의존하지 않습니다. 하나님께서는 성경에 기록된 그분의 지침을 두셔서 우리에게 죄를 깨닫게(지적하게) 하십니다. 우리 안에 있는 죄 때문에 아무도 그분의 완전함에 대한 기대를 따를 수 없습니다(롬 3:20). 그분의 기대는 창조주이신 하나님이 우리를 어떻게 지으셨는지 아시고, 그분의 지침에서 벗어나는 것은 우리 삶에 고통과 갈등을 초래할 것임을 아시기 때문입니다. 우리의 죄는 또한 다른 사람들을 죄악된 행동으로 이끌 수 있습니다. 죄는 속박이며 궁극적으로 사망에 이르게 합니다(약 1:15). 그것은 우리를 생명의 근원이신 하나님으로부터 끊어지게 하기 때문에 사망에 이르게 합니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>하나님은 절대적으로 완전하시기 때문에 또한 절대적으로 공의로우십니다. 그분의 지침에서 벗어나는 것은 그분을 거부하는 것을 의미합니다. 우리가 하나님을 거부할 때, 우리는 그분께 죄를 짓는 것입니다. 하나님이 공의롭게 심판하신다면, 결국에는 편애가 없을 것입니다(갈 2:6). 그리스도인의 선행은 하나님의 나라에서 어떤 이점을 얻기 위한 것이 아니라 하나님에 대한 사랑을 나타내야 합니다. 창조주는 조종당할 수 없습니다. 하나님은 우리에게 자신을 사랑하라고 부르십니다(신 6:5-9). 왜냐하면 그분은 우리와 일대일의 관계를 원하시기

사랑하게 되고, 그분을 기쁘시게 하기 위해 살기 시작합니다. 인류의 죄의 경향 때문에, 우리가 우리 자신을 구속할 수 없기 때문에 하나님께서 구주를 보내시는 것이 필요했습니다. 예수님은 세상에 대한 하나님의 구원의 제안이시지만, 사람들은 그리스도를 통해 하나님을 알아야 하는 응답을 해야 합니다(요 6:44, 14:6-8). 그리고 그것은 이해를 구하며

않습니다. 구세주가 필요하지 않다면, 사람은 천국에 이르기 위해 자신의 길을 만들어야 하는 행위의 체계에 남겨지게 됩니다. 행위 중심의 체계에서 유일한 문제는; 누가 당신의 노력이 충분한지 결정하는지를 주장할 수 없다는 것입니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>이 주제에 대해 더 알아보고자 하는 분들은 다음

En un mundo lleno de religiones, muchos tienden a ver el cristianismo como simplemente otra religi&oacute;n. Si vemos las religiones mundiales desde muy lejos, notamos las principales religiones mundiales como el juda&iacute;smo, el cristianismo, el islam y el hinduismo. Sin embargo, si nos acercamos para ver m&aacute;s de cerca, vemos cientos de religiones que representan ramas de esos religiosos principales. Cuando nos acercamos a&uacute;n m&aacute;s, vemos miles de pr&aacute;cticas religiosas locales que se encuentran en los diferentes grupos de personas a lo largo de los siglos. Muchos en nuestra cultura occidentalizada preferir&iacute;an no ser parte de un grupo religioso. Afirman que son espirituales, pero que no son religiosos.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&iquest;Qu&eacute; es lo que realmente quieren decir? La evidencia hist&oacute;rica y arqueol&oacute;gica muestra que las personas siempre han buscado algo que sea mayor de lo que son. Los registros hist&oacute;ricos revelan que en cada cultura, ha habido alg&uacute;n tipo de creencia en un poder sobrenatural. Este es solo un ejemplo que revela que hay algo dentro de cada persona que busca algo m&aacute;s all&aacute; de nosotros mismos. Si realmente queremos entender otras religiones del mundo, debemos dar un paso atr&aacute;s y hacer todo lo posible para aprender sobre las diferentes cosmovisiones que representan estas religiones. Las siguientes son solo breves definiciones de las cosmovisiones de las cuales provienen todas las regiones:\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Te&iacute;smo: la creencia en la existencia de un Ser supremo (Dios)\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>El ate&iacute;smo: la visi&oacute;n que no cree en la existencia de un Dios\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Polite&iacute;smo: la opini&oacute;n de que hay muchos dioses, lo que contradice la idea de un Ser supremo\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Pante&iacute;smo: la visi&oacute;n del mundo de que Dios es todas las cosas, en otras palabras, todo es Dios\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Agnosticismo: la opini&oacute;n de que uno no puede saber realmente si hay un Dios\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Henote&iacute;smo: la creencia de que hay un dios que est&aacute; por encima de otros dioses\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Monote&iacute;smo: la opini&oacute;n de que solo existe un Dios\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Una cosmovisi&oacute;n popular en Occidente es que hay un Ser Supremo o \"fuerza\" que todos buscan. Toda religi&oacute;n es una expresi&oacute;n de la b&uacute;squeda espiritual de esta fuerza.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Esta creencia en una fuerza o Ser Supremo es un concepto monote&iacute;sta. Esto significa que hay un dios principal que gobierna sobre toda la creaci&oacute;n. Mucha gente cree que todas las diferentes religiones son ideas personales de c&oacute;mo aprovechar esta fuerza divina c&oacute;smica. La palabra para este tipo de idea se llama \"pluralismo\". Por ejemplo, muchos creen que alguien como el Dali Lama ha encontrado el camino hacia esta fuerza.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>La gente busca al Dali Lama en busca de consejos y palabras de sabidur&iacute;a para poder estar m&aacute;s cerca de encontrar la paz eterna. La idea de coexistir proviene de este pensamiento de que todos buscan al mismo dios y que todas las religiones son igualmente verdaderas y conducir&aacute;n a la dicha eterna. Encontrar&aacute; que todos quieren vivir una existencia pac&iacute;fica en lugar de una llena de conflictos. Las personas en todas partes tienen un c&oacute;digo de valores deseado similar. Se cree que estos valores ayudan a una sociedad a estar en paz si se obedecen. Son los siguientes:\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>S&eacute; justo con los dem&aacute;s\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>No asesinar\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Nutrir a los ni&ntilde;os en la comunidad.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>No se roben el uno al otro\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Obedece a tus padres y honra a las generaciones mayores\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>No mientas\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Amarse y estar en paz\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Cuando las personas rompen cualquiera de estos valores o reglas, esto causa un disturbio en la comunidad. Esta perturbaci&oacute;n causar&aacute; disturbios. Los disturbios crear&aacute;n estr&eacute;s y tensi&oacute;n entre las personas. Las personas a lo largo de la historia han tratado de seguir estas reglas, pero han fallado miserablemente. La forma en que las personas tratan de seguir los valores anteriores reflejar&aacute; lo que cada persona cree acerca de Dios.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Aqu&iacute; es donde interviene la religi&oacute;n. Tambi&eacute;n es donde se ven las creencias centrales de una persona sobre la vida y Dios. La religi&oacute;n significa diferentes cosas para diferentes personas, por lo que para nuestros prop&oacute;sitos usaremos una definici&oacute;n b&aacute;sica del erudito de las religiones del mundo, Winifred Corduan. &Eacute;l dice que; Una religi&oacute;n es un sistema de creencias y pr&aacute;cticas que dirige a una persona hacia lo espiritual y, por lo tanto, proporciona significado y comprensi&oacute;n a la vida de una persona.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Un vistazo r&aacute;pido a la realidad que nos rodea revelar&aacute; que hay armon&iacute;a entre las personas hasta que se enfrentan a un conflicto externo. Esto significa que todo est&aacute; en paz siempre y cuando todos est&eacute;n de acuerdo. Desafortunadamente, nadie est&aacute; de acuerdo con todos los dem&aacute;s todo el tiempo. Nuestro entorno es la principal causa de desuni&oacute;n entre las personas y las comunidades. No todos tienen la misma cantidad de dinero. No todos piensan igual. Solo hay una cierta cantidad de recursos naturales. Todas estas cosas causan problemas a las personas y entre las personas.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Es en medio de la lucha que las personas comienzan a reflexionar sobre el prop&oacute;sito de su existencia mientras luchan por sobrevivir y comprender el significado de la vida. No es inusual encontrar que muchas personas a lo largo de la historia han utilizado las pr&aacute;cticas religiosas como herramientas en su intento de cambiar las diferentes situaciones en su vida. Una persona que recurre a la religi&oacute;n como una forma de cambiar sus circunstancias ve la religi&oacute;n como funcional. En otras palabras, buscar&aacute;n a Dios cuando sientan que sus problemas est&aacute;n m&aacute;s all&aacute; de su capacidad de ayudarse a s&iacute; mismos.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Una visi&oacute;n funcional de la religi&oacute;n es muy diferente de la visi&oacute;n que busca una religi&oacute;n para las afirmaciones de verdad que hace. Parece natural que los humanos solo busquen a Dios cuando las cosas se ponen malas para ellos. Por ejemplo, en la Biblia cristiana, el Dios de Israel advierte a las personas que una vez que vivan vidas c&oacute;modas, olvidar&aacute;n c&oacute;mo los ha cuidado y guiado durante muchos a&ntilde;os (Deut. 8: 10-20). La naturaleza humana no ha cambiado. Cuando las personas se encuentran en problemas, buscan alg&uacute;n tipo de ayuda sobrenatural. Cuando las personas se desesperan, incluso pueden comenzar a hacer promesas salvajes para cambiar la forma en que viven si se cumplen sus demandas. Una vez que se curan o se salvan de cualquier problema, se olvidan convenientemente de Dios y contin&uacute;an viviendo como lo hab&iacute;an sido.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Para la persona que piensa que las religiones no son m&aacute;s que un conjunto de rituales que har&aacute;n algo por ellos al final, parecer&aacute; que todas las religiones son simplemente diferentes, fue buscar los mismos resultados finales. Sin embargo, esta es una visi&oacute;n falsa de Dios. Esta es solo una vista superficial porque las religiones son muy diferentes entre s&iacute;, en el n&uacute;cleo. Si somos honestos al respecto, en el fondo todos estamos buscando las respuestas a las grandes preguntas de la vida.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&iquest;Por qu&eacute; estoy aqu&iacute;?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&iquest;Por qu&eacute; hay algo aqu&iacute;?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&iquest;Existe realmente un ser supremo (Dios)?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&iquest;Este Dios interact&uacute;a con su creaci&oacute;n?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&iquest;Qui&eacute;n es Jes&uacute;s?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&iquest;Qu&eacute; pasa cuando muero?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&iquest;Por qu&eacute; necesitar&iacute;a ser \"salvado\"?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>La forma en que respondemos estas preguntas es en las diferencias de las diversas religiones.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>El budismo dice que no hay Dios, solo un retorno a ser uno con el universo (como una gota de agua que se mezcla en un oc&eacute;ano).\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>El hinduismo afirma que hay muchos dioses y que Brahman est&aacute; en todo y en cada persona, solo necesitan redescubrir a ese dios interno para alcanzar el estado de nirvana (felicidad eterna).\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Las principales religiones monote&iacute;stas (juda&iacute;smo, cristianismo e islam) creen en un Dios supremo. Pero, de las tres religiones monote&iacute;stas, solo el cristianismo reconoce la dif&iacute;cil situaci&oacute;n humana del pecado original.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>La Biblia est&aacute; llena de ejemplos de c&oacute;mo la humanidad est&aacute; muy por debajo de la perfecci&oacute;n que la gente ve como el c&oacute;digo est&aacute;ndar de valores mencionado anteriormente. Hay un profundo sentido dentro de todas las personas de que somos pecadores. El pecado es algo de lo que la gente no quiere hablar. Todos preferir&iacute;an creer que los humanos son innatamente \"buenos\" y simplemente son propensos a cometer errores. Desafortunadamente, solo necesitamos mirar el mundo real para ver que los problemas que afectan a la humanidad provienen de mucho m&aacute;s que las personas que cometen errores. Los cr&iacute;menes contra la humanidad vienen en muchos disfraces diferentes. Los cr&iacute;menes m&aacute;s furtivos son aquellos que est&aacute;n protegidos por la legislaci&oacute;n del gobierno con el pretexto de la igualdad de derechos.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Solo el cristianismo reconoce la pecaminosidad de la humanidad y la ve por lo que realmente es (esclavitud). El alma humana est&aacute; encerrada en un estado constante de confusi&oacute;n porque siempre nos molesta algo o alguien en nuestras vidas. La Biblia se&ntilde;ala que la mente humana siempre est&aacute; tramando (G&eacute;nesis 6: 5; Jer. 17: 9). El pecado en su definici&oacute;n m&aacute;s b&aacute;sica significa perder la marca (como un arquero podr&iacute;a perder el ojo del toro). Incluso si hacemos todo lo que parece justo para el mundo exterior, no podemos escapar de nuestros propios pensamientos (Santiago 1: 14-16, 4: 1). Si no podemos escapar de nuestro ser pecaminoso, &iquest;c&oacute;mo lograremos la perfecci&oacute;n esperada por un Dios justo?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&iquest;C&oacute;mo lograremos liberarnos de nosotros mismos? Aqu&iacute; es donde la separaci&oacute;n entre el cristianismo y todas las dem&aacute;s religiones se vuelve m&aacute;s evidente. A diferencia de todas las dem&aacute;s religiones, el cristianismo hace afirmaciones de verdad que se basan en la realidad y no en opiniones personales. Todas las dem&aacute;s religiones se basan en alguna forma de sistema de tipo de obras. El cristianismo se basa en una fe de confianza (que no debe confundirse con una fe ciega) (G&aacute;latas 2:16).\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>El cristianismo no se basa en un conjunto de rituales y \"buenas obras\" para salvar a alguien del infierno, como hacen otras religiones. Dios estableci&oacute; sus pautas que est&aacute;n registradas en la Biblia para condenarnos (se&ntilde;alarnos) del pecado. No hay forma de que alguien pueda seguir sus expectativas de perfecci&oacute;n debido al pecado dentro de nosotros (Rom. 3:20). Sus expectativas est&aacute;n ah&iacute; porque Dios, como Creador, sabe c&oacute;mo estamos formados y que cualquier cambio de sus pautas causar&aacute; dolor y conflictos en nuestras vidas. Nuestro pecado tambi&eacute;n puede conducir a otros a un comportamiento pecaminoso. El pecado es esclavitud y finalmente conduce a la muerte (Santiago 1:15). Lleva a la muerte porque nos separa de la fuente de la vida, Dios.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Porque Dios es absolutamente perfecto, &Eacute;l es absolutamente igual de bueno. Cualquier desviaci&oacute;n de sus pautas representa nuestro rechazo de &eacute;l. Cuando rechazamos a Dios, pecamos contra &Eacute;l. Si Dios ha de juzgar con justicia, al final no habr&aacute; favoritismo (G&aacute;latas 2: 6). Las buenas obras de un cristiano deben representar su amor por Dios, no para obtener ninguna ventaja en su reino. El Creador no puede ser manipulado. Dios nos llama a amarlo (Deut. 6: 5-9) porque desea una relaci&oacute;n personal con &eacute;l.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Cuanto mejor conocemos a Dios, m&aacute;s entendemos sus caminos. Cuanto mejor conocemos a Dios, m&aacute;s conscientes somos de su amor por nosotros. Cuanto mejor conocemos a Dios, m&aacute;s lo amamos por lo que es, y comenzamos a vivir para complacerlo. Debido a la tendencia de la humanidad a pecar, fue necesario que Dios enviara un Salvador porque no podemos redimirnos. Jes&uacute;s es la oferta de salvaci&oacute;n de Dios para el mundo, pero se requiere que las personas respondan conociendo a Dios a trav&eacute;s de Cristo (Juan 6:44, 14: 6-8), y eso requiere leer las Escrituras a medida que buscas comprensi&oacute;n.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Ninguna otra religi&oacute;n reconoce el pecado innato. Otras religiones no ven que continuamente pecamos contra nuestro Creador al rechazar sus caminos. Si no hay depravaci&oacute;n humana, entonces no hay necesidad de un Salvador. Si no hay necesidad de un Salvador, entonces una persona se queda con un sistema de obras para llegar al cielo. El &uacute;nico problema con un sistema basado en trabajos es; no hay forma de reclamar qui&eacute;n decide si sus esfuerzos son lo suficientemente buenos.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Se recomienda a quienes deseen obtener m&aacute;s informaci&oacute;n sobre este tema que consulten los siguientes recursos:\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>RECURSOS EN L&Iacute;NEA\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>http:\u002F\u002Frzim.org\u002F?s=world+religions\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>http:\u002F\u002Fwww.ligonier.org\u002Fblog\u002Fpluralism-and-relativism-its-all-relative-pt-1\u002F\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>https:\u002F\u002Fwww.whitehorseinn.org\u002Fshow\u002Fpluralism-the-american-religion\u002F\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>PRINT RESOURCES\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Winfred Corduan - Neighboring Faiths: https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0830839704\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Irving Hexham - Understanding Word Religions: https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002FB0050BLYK4\u003C\u002Fp>","\n\nQu'est-ce qu'une vision du monde chrétienne?","\u003Cp>Êtes-vous prêt à découvrir ce qu'est la vraie vie ?

This peace that passes understanding only comes after you have an encounter with the one true and living God. An encounter that will absolutely change your life. It is an encounter that can’t compare to any encounter you have ever had. Imagine unconditional love, mixed with peace and belonging, falling down on you from a waterfall, and this waterfall never runs dry! That is where we are about to take you.

You may have heard of it before, The Bible. Now, did you know you could go to church your entire life and not know how we got the Bible? Can we share with you, really quick, why the Bible is the most incredible and trustworthy book of all time. Great, thanks!\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">The Bible’s 40 authors were eyewitnesses to incredible events and teachings and wrote them down in three different languages, Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, while they were on three different continents, Asia Africa and Europe, over a period of 1600 years. Remarkably, despite the widespread difference in languages, geography, and time; the writings are telling the same exact, highly detailed, story. In fact these writings give thousands, upon thousands, of opportunities to be wrong, as they list specific ancient cities, kings, countries, major events, people, and all the way down to the money they used. Yet, over and over again the Bible matches with other ancient historical writings unrelated to the Bible itself, like the Greek, Egyptian, Persian, Babalonian, Roman Empire, and Kingly records. Despite the Bible being the most widely read and criticized book in the world, nothing of importance can be found wrong with it’s understandable writings.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Also, no other “holy” book has prophecies that come true. A prophecy is something that is predicted to come true in the future before it happens. The Bible contains prophecies of major events in history, which were recorded hundreds and sometimes thousands of years before they happened. We see correct predictions of the rise and fall of the Greek and Roman Empires, and over 300 prophecies that specifically talk about Jesus and that He fulfilled. There are prophecies for our future, as well, that we can see partially coming true today. We are told a global government will form, and a great deceiver, Satan himself will come, and fool many people, but then God will come back and destroy Satan and restore peace on earth.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">No other holy book or writings have the manuscript evidence that the Bible does. For example, the earliest fragments of manuscripts of the Quran were found 300 years after Muhammad, and the writings about what Buddha taught appeared 400 years after Buddha. With the Bible, we have fragments of manuscripts that date back to the same century Jesus lived, and complete manuscripts by the thousands soon after. Even the early Bible believers, who are said to have known the authors, quoted the Bible so much in their writings that you can assemble the entire second half of the Bible (New Testament) from their preserved writings from the 1st and 2nd Centuries.&nbsp; We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Bible can be trusted with what it says.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">If you compare the Bible to any other “Holy” book, nothing can touch this sharpness and precision. The Bible says that it is the truth, that there only is one God, and that God loves us so much.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Thinking that there is only one truth is really a hard pill to swallow. So think about it this way, there is a miracle happening right now. As you are reading, invisible sound waves are vibrating onto your eardrum with the noises around you. On the other side of your eardrum, there are three little bones that line up and attach to your cochlea, which is a small snail shell looking structure that is filled with water and has thousands of hairs on it’s walls. As the water moves, these hairs act like piano keys and create electronic signals, so your brain can just begin to understand what noises are going on around you. So let this help you realize, it doesn’t make sense to think that you have the authority to decide what God can and cannot do, because you have no idea how the ear can do what it does.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Well, the Bible says the bad things you’ve done, like telling a single lie, separate you from God because He is perfect. Also, look at this verse, Deuteronomy 18:10-12, it says, “There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead.”&nbsp; These bad things separate you from God. This means you can’t go to Heaven where God is and live forever with Him. Or if you don’t choose to have God forgive you, the bad things you have done separate you from God, and you go to Hell because God is perfect and you will not be.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">But God loves you so much that He wants to be in a personal relationship with YOU, so you CAN go to Heaven.&nbsp; So do you know what God did for you because He loves you so much? God came as Jesus to live a perfect life for you, so He could take all of your punishment, He then died in your place, and He rose again from the dead, so you can have forgiveness. Ok, don't miss this! The Bible says if you BELIEVE God did this for you then you will receive forgiveness and go to Heaven. Yep, that's it. Here is one of many verses in the Bible that say that. Romans 4:5, \"But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners.\"\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">That’s it. It seems so easy doesn’t it? But God is your Heavenly Father, He is the one that created you from your head, to your toes. He loves you so much He knows how many hairs are on your head. You have so much value and worth to God that if you were the only person alive, He would come and die just for you. He loves you the way a good Father loves his son or daughter. Unconditionally. He also gives gifts, like a good father would. He actually gave you the best gift you could ever have, forgiveness from all the bad things you have ever done, and going to Heaven, just by believing in Him.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">How do we get to that waterfall? You are really close to it right now. You may even feel the mist! Now just come and stand under it by believing that Jesus did this for you. It takes faith as small as a mustard seed to be forgiven, and start your relationship with your Maker who loves you more than anyone could.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">A verse in the Bible says, 2 Corinthians 6:2,&nbsp; “I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.”&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">So we want to ask you, will you believe, right now, that God did this for you?\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">That is wonderful.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Will you say this prayer out loud?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">“Dear God,\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">I know that I have done many bad things.

De hecho, estos escritos dan miles y miles de oportunidades de estar equivocados, ya que enumeran ciudades antiguas específicas, reyes, países, eventos importantes, personas, y hasta el dinero que usaban. Sin embargo, una y otra vez la Biblia coincide con otros escritos históricos antiguos no relacionados con la Biblia misma, como los registros griegos, egipcios, persas, babilónicos, del Imperio Romano y de los reyes. A pesar de que la Biblia es el libro más leído y criticado del mundo, nada de importancia puede encontrarse mal en sus escritos comprensibles.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Además, ningún otro libro “sagrado” tiene profecías que se cumplan. Una profecía es algo que se predice que sucederá en el futuro antes de que ocurra. La Biblia contiene profecías de eventos importantes en la historia, que fueron registradas cientos y a veces miles de años antes de que sucedieran. Vemos predicciones correctas del ascenso y caída de los Imperios Griego y Romano, y más de 300 profecías que hablan específicamente de Jesús y que Él cumplió. También hay profecías para nuestro futuro, que podemos ver cumpliéndose parcialmente hoy. Se nos dice que se formará un gobierno global, y un gran engañador, el mismo Satanás, vendrá y engañará a muchas personas, pero luego Dios volverá y destruirá a Satanás y restaurará la paz en la tierra.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fspan>Ningún otro libro sagrado o escritos tienen la evidencia manuscrita que tiene la Biblia.

Con la Biblia, tenemos fragmentos de manuscritos que datan del mismo siglo en que vivió Jesús, y manuscritos completos por miles poco después. Incluso los primeros creyentes de la Biblia, que se dice que conocieron a los autores, citaron tanto la Biblia en sus escritos que puedes ensamblar toda la segunda mitad de la Biblia (Nuevo Testamento) a partir de sus escritos preservados de los siglos I y II.&nbsp; Sabemos sin sombra de duda que la Biblia puede ser confiable con lo que dice.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Si comparas la Biblia con cualquier otro libro “sagrado”, nada puede igualar esta agudeza y precisión.

Así que deja que esto te ayude a darte cuenta, no tiene sentido pensar que tienes la autoridad para decidir lo que Dios puede y no puede hacer, porque no tienes idea de cómo el oído puede hacer lo que hace.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Bueno, la Biblia dice que las cosas malas que has hecho, como decir una sola mentira, te separan de Dios porque Él es perfecto. También, mira este versículo, Deuteronomio 18:10-12, dice, “No se hallará entre vosotros nadie que haga pasar a su hijo o a su hija por el fuego, ni quien practique adivinación, ni agorero, ni sortílego, ni hechicero, ni encantador, ni adivino, ni mago, ni quien consulte a los muertos.”&nbsp; Estas cosas malas te separan de Dios. Esto significa que no puedes ir al Cielo donde está Dios y vivir para siempre con Él. O si no eliges que Dios te perdone, las cosas malas que has hecho te separan de Dios, y vas al Infierno porque Dios es perfecto y tú no lo serás.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Pero Dios te ama tanto que quiere tener una relación personal CONTIGO, para que PUEDAS ir al Cielo.&nbsp; Así que ¿sabes lo que Dios hizo por ti porque te ama tanto? Dios vino como Jesús para vivir una vida perfecta por ti, para poder tomar todo tu castigo, luego murió en tu lugar, y resucitó de entre los muertos, para que puedas tener perdón. ¡Ok, no te pierdas esto! La Biblia dice que si CREES que Dios hizo esto por ti entonces recibirás el perdón e irás al Cielo. Sí, eso es todo. Aquí hay uno de muchos versículos en la Biblia que dicen eso. Romanos 4:5, \"Pero a aquel que no trabaja, sino que cree en aquel que justifica al impío, su fe le es contada por justicia.\"\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Eso es todo. Parece tan fácil ¿no? Pero Dios es tu Padre Celestial, Él es el que te creó desde tu cabeza hasta tus pies. Te ama tanto que sabe cuántos cabellos tienes en tu cabeza. Tienes tanto valor y valía para Dios que si fueras la única persona viva, Él vendría y moriría solo por ti. Te ama de la manera que un buen padre ama a su hijo o hija. Incondicionalmente. También da regalos, como lo haría un buen padre. En realidad te dio el mejor regalo que podrías tener, el perdón de todas las cosas malas que has hecho, e ir al Cielo, solo creyendo en Él.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">¿Cómo llegamos a esa cascada?

Merci d’avoir passé un peu de temps avec nous ! Nous voulions vous parler des preuves incroyables qu’une paix sur terre arrivera bientôt.

Cette paix qui surpasse toute intelligence ne vient qu’après une rencontre avec le seul vrai et vivant Dieu. Une rencontre qui changera absolument votre vie. C’est une rencontre qui ne peut se comparer à aucune autre que vous ayez jamais eue. Imaginez un amour inconditionnel, mêlé de paix et d’appartenance, qui descend sur vous comme une cascade, et cette cascade ne s’assèche jamais ! C’est là où nous sommes sur le point de vous emmener.

Vous en avez peut-être déjà entendu parler : la Bible. Maintenant, saviez-vous que vous pourriez aller à l’église toute votre vie sans savoir comment nous avons obtenu la Bible ? Pouvons-nous vous expliquer, très rapidement, pourquoi la Bible est le livre le plus incroyable et le plus digne de confiance de tous les temps. Super, merci !\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Les 40 auteurs de la Bible étaient des témoins oculaires d’événements et d’enseignements incroyables et les ont écrits dans trois langues différentes, l’hébreu, l’araméen et le grec, alors qu’ils se trouvaient sur trois continents différents, l’Asie, l’Afrique et l’Europe, sur une période de 1600 ans. Remarquablement, malgré les différences importantes de langues, de géographie et d’époque, les écrits racontent exactement la même histoire, très détaillée. En fait, ces écrits offrent des milliers et des milliers d’occasions d’être faux, car ils mentionnent des villes anciennes spécifiques, des rois, des pays, des événements majeurs, des personnes, et même jusqu’à la monnaie qu’ils utilisaient. Pourtant, encore et encore, la Bible correspond à d’autres écrits historiques anciens sans lien avec la Bible elle-même, comme les archives grecques, égyptiennes, perses, babyloniennes, de l’Empire romain et royales. Bien que la Bible soit le livre le plus lu et le plus critiqué au monde, rien d’important ne peut être trouvé de faux dans ses écrits compréhensibles.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">De plus, aucun autre livre « sacré » ne contient de prophéties qui se réalisent. Une prophétie est quelque chose qui est prédit pour se réaliser dans le futur avant que cela n’arrive. La Bible contient des prophéties d’événements majeurs de l’histoire, qui ont été enregistrées des centaines et parfois des milliers d’années avant qu’ils ne se produisent. Nous voyons des prédictions correctes de l’essor et de la chute des Empires grec et romain, et plus de 300 prophéties qui parlent spécifiquement de Jésus et qu’Il a accomplies. Il y a aussi des prophéties pour notre avenir, que nous pouvons voir se réaliser partiellement aujourd’hui. Il nous est dit qu’un gouvernement mondial se formera, et qu’un grand trompeur, Satan lui-même, viendra et trompera beaucoup de gens, mais ensuite Dieu reviendra et détruira Satan et rétablira la paix sur terre.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Aucun autre livre saint ni écrit n’a l’évidence manuscrite que possède la Bible. Par exemple, les plus anciens fragments de manuscrits du Coran ont été découverts 300 ans après Muhammad, et les écrits sur ce que Bouddha enseignait sont apparus 400 ans après Bouddha. Avec la Bible, nous disposons de fragments de manuscrits qui remontent au siècle même où Jésus a vécu, et de milliers de manuscrits complets peu après. Même les premiers croyants de la Bible, qui auraient connu les auteurs, citaient tellement la Bible dans leurs écrits que l’on peut reconstituer toute la seconde moitié de la Bible (le Nouveau Testament) à partir de leurs écrits conservés des 1er et 2e siècles.&nbsp; Nous savons sans l’ombre d’un doute que la Bible peut être digne de confiance quant à ce qu’elle dit.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Si vous comparez la Bible à tout autre livre « saint », rien ne peut égaler cette netteté et cette précision. La Bible dit qu’elle est la vérité, qu’il n’y a qu’un seul Dieu, et que Dieu nous aime tellement.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Penser qu’il n’y a qu’une seule vérité est vraiment une pilule difficile à avaler. Alors réfléchissez-y ainsi : un miracle se produit en ce moment même. Pendant que vous lisez, des ondes sonores invisibles vibrent sur votre tympan avec les bruits qui vous entourent. De l’autre côté de votre tympan, il y a trois petits os qui s’alignent et se rattachent à votre cochlée, une petite structure en forme de coquille d’escargot remplie d’eau et qui possède des milliers de poils sur ses parois. Lorsque l’eau bouge, ces poils agissent comme des touches de piano et créent des signaux électroniques, afin que votre cerveau puisse commencer à comprendre quels bruits se produisent autour de vous. Laissez cela vous aider à réaliser qu’il n’a pas de sens de penser que vous avez l’autorité pour décider ce que Dieu peut ou ne peut pas faire, parce que vous n’avez aucune idée de la façon dont l’oreille peut accomplir ce qu’elle fait.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Eh bien, la Bible dit que les mauvaises choses que vous avez faites, comme dire un seul mensonge, vous séparent de Dieu parce qu’Il est parfait. Regardez aussi ce verset, Deutéronome 18:10-12, il dit : « On ne trouvera chez toi personne qui fasse passer son fils ou sa fille par le feu, ni qui pratique la divination, ni un astrologue, ni un enchanteur, ni un sorcier, ni un magicien, ni un médium, ni un spirite, ni quelqu’un qui évoque les morts. »&nbsp; Ces mauvaises choses vous séparent de Dieu. Cela signifie que vous ne pouvez pas aller au Ciel où Dieu est et vivre éternellement avec Lui. Ou si vous ne choisissez pas de demander à Dieu de vous pardonner, les mauvaises choses que vous avez faites vous séparent de Dieu, et vous allez en Enfer parce que Dieu est parfait et que vous ne le serez pas.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Mais Dieu vous aime tellement qu’Il veut avoir une relation personnelle avec VOUS, afin que vous PUISSIEZ aller au Ciel.&nbsp; Alors savez-vous ce que Dieu a fait pour vous parce qu’Il vous aime tellement ? Dieu est venu en Jésus pour vivre une vie parfaite pour vous, afin qu’Il puisse prendre tout votre châtiment, Il est ensuite mort à votre place, et Il est ressuscité d’entre les morts, afin que vous puissiez recevoir le pardon. Ok, ne manquez pas ceci ! La Bible dit que si vous CROYEZ que Dieu a fait cela pour vous, alors vous recevrez le pardon et irez au Ciel. Oui, c’est tout. Voici l’un des nombreux versets de la Bible qui disent cela. Romains 4:5, « Mais celui qui ne travaille pas, mais qui croit en celui qui justifie l’impie, sa foi lui est comptée comme justice. »\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">C’est tout. Cela semble si facile, n’est-ce pas ? Mais Dieu est votre Père céleste, Il est celui qui vous a créé de la tête aux pieds. Il vous aime tellement qu’Il sait combien de cheveux vous avez sur la tête. Vous avez tant de valeur et de dignité aux yeux de Dieu que si vous étiez la seule personne vivante, Il viendrait mourir juste pour vous. Il vous aime comme un bon père aime son fils ou sa fille. Inconditionnellement. Il donne aussi des cadeaux, comme le ferait un bon père.

In the protection of our society where pat answers are the drug, we meet face to face with the fragility of life, feel compassion, and return to business as usual. The reality is that we too are in the path of life’s devastations.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It is suffering to even consider the tragedies that could befall us. Yet, suffering comes to all without prejudice… on the just and unjust.1 When faced with the heartache of rejection, emptiness of loss, the bite of physical pain, the brokenness of regret, or the betrayal of violation, we reel in the wake. Pain and fear mingled with confusion breed a litany of questions that have no apparent answers and deathly silence from God only serves to tighten suffering’s grip. And yet we continue to ask. Just as Job, we want that which is out of reach: both instant relief and that God explain Himself. Even if God provided answers, would we really accept them as justification for our suffering?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Our Internal Navigation: The Bedrock\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The main window to one’s internal system is the reaction to difficulty. Thus, suffering does not create our attitude, it reveals it. Usually we can absorb afflictions but when our internal world is rocked, the crucible of calamity shatters our beliefs about life. Three of these beliefs that must be assessed are&nbsp;\u003Cem>I deserve ease and comfort in life, the world must be predictable\u003C\u002Fem>, and&nbsp;\u003Cem>the world must be fair.\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I Deserve Ease and Comfort\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Our nature compels us to seek pleasure, comfort, and ease. But life works against our desires. Consider the opening sentence of Scott Peck’s book,&nbsp;\u003Cem>The Road Less Traveled\u003C\u002Fem>, “Life is difficult….” Comedian Jerry Seinfeld observed that perhaps the road less traveled is less traveled for a good reason. He was right. Our drive for pleasure seeks a smooth and trouble-free route.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There is nothing inherently wrong with creature comforts and ease. The problem is we demand them and when we lose comfort and ease, we assume God is not good. Even Job questioned God’s goodness by accusing God of mistreating him. In others words, if I am uncomfortable and unhappy God is NOT good. C. S. Lewis wrote,&nbsp;\u003Cem>“If God were good, He would wish to make His creatures perfectly happy, and if God were almighty, He would be able to do what He wished. But the creatures are not happy.\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;\u003Cem>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Therefore God lacks either goodness, or power, or both\u003C\u002Fem>.”4 Corrie ten Boom, the famed survivor of Ravensbruck keenly understood God’s goodness. She penned “…\u003Cem>God is good when He sends good weather. But God was also good when He allowed my sister Betsie to starve to death before my eyes in the German concentration camp\u003C\u002Fem>.”\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As long as we assume that life must be comfortable, we will never come to accept trials and adversity as normal, even those considered undeserved. Rather than looking to God, we will rely on our own strategies to find comfort again. If unsuccessful, we will wallow in self-pity and misery.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The World Must Be Orderly and Predictable\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Our nature assumes that non-physical realities are orderly and predictable, that misfortune is not haphazard, and that events are mostly positive in outcome. We know of misery in the world, but innately distinguish between the “world in general” and “our world.” The way we live in our world conveys the sense that we have little value for the invisible world. It is the measure of our reality that occupies our thoughts. Treating problems as a matter of skill or choice, and shrinking problems to manageable size feels more comforting than considering the deeper purposes of God. Thus, life is reduced to a series of steps, with cause and effect. The assumption is that we can directly control what happens to us through our own behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Because effort, practice, or planning have an effect on outcomes that we can control, we believe that they can determine chance outcomes as well. Research indicates that people assume that they have more control of their lives than they actually have. Those who think they are captains of their own ship, live with an illusion of safety. We know that bad things happen; but in our gut we believe we are exempt. We think we can control life and that our strategies protect us. Even in the midst of adversity we tenaciously cling to this assumption because, if it is not true, then we too can experience random difficulties. Thus, living right is the strategy, and discipline and diligence the formula.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We seek to understand the distribution of good and bad and, in the service of order and predictability, impose seemingly natural consequences between people and what they experience. One study showed different endings of a woman’s return to her home to two groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The group that saw the woman arrive home without incident observed no risky behaviors, but the group that saw the woman attacked reported that she did not exercise caution. To protect the illusion that our world is predictable and thus controllable, we place blame to impose an illusion of control. The unpredictably of an event challenges that illusion, resulting in confusion, panic, and despair. Because a predictable world requires logical order, when we cannot reason out cause and effect suffering becomes random and unpredictable. In the midst of suffering we demand explanation and justification for our pain. Without these, we conclude that God cannot be trusted and feebly return to attempting to control. In our minds and hearts, God is trustworthy only to the extent that things go the way we expect them to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The World Must Be Fair\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Our innate sense of fairness is marred by sin. We twist fairness into a formula in which people get what they deserve and deserve what they get. In our world, individual decency and goodness determines what happens to a person. Like our need for order and predictability, this too helps us minimize the role of randomness.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As adults, we know that our world is not fair and that we will be treated unfairly. Therefore, we don’t expect fairness but to be treated differently; to receive treatment that we define as fair. Research found that people want mercy when they transgress, but desire retribution when wronged. Perceived unfair treatment makes us bristle with contempt for our offenders; even for God. Our tendency to doubt God’s justice is not rational, but emotional.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Helping Counselee’s Make Sense Out Of Nonsense\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Our internal system cannot accommodate aberrations. In the face of aberration, the comfort and complacency provided by our internal guide is lost. The new puzzle piece does not fit into our system no matter how hard we push. Therefore, we must entirely modify our systemto move forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In trauma’s wake, people seek counseling to increase their sense of control. But as counselors, the problems brought to us have no clear answers. We face paradox, ambivalence, and anger. We must explore the polarity of the human heart, postpone quick answers, and make sure the complexity of the new reality is acknowledged. It is through the dialogue about the counselee’s questions and pain that healing comes. We must resist being taken hostage by their cry for certainty. To value struggle, entertain maddening questions, and work with intolerable pain is difficult. Our own instinct may also move us toward safe subjects, to reach for instant recipes, to stop the bleeding. We must learn to value struggle over prescription, questions over answers, anxiety over comfort, and desire over fulfillment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Godly helping means being fully present with sufferers. In due time, we must gently lead them into the darkness of their internal world. Be patient as you invite them down the treacherous path of healing that takes them through the ugliness of the soul. Their overwhelming fear may paralyze them. The route to healing is less obvious than a formula or action plan. It is more strenuous and uncertain. Since suffering is applied theology, it will bring them face-to-face God’s grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>References\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>1 Matthew 5:35\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>2 M.

En la protección de nuestra sociedad, donde las respuestas prefabricadas son la droga, nos enfrentamos a la fragilidad de la vida, sentimos compasión y volvemos a la normalidad. La realidad es que nosotros también estamos en el camino de las devastaciones de la vida.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Es un sufrimiento incluso considerar las tragedias que podrían sobrevenirnos. Sin embargo, el sufrimiento llega a todos sin prejuicio… a justos e injustos.1 Cuando nos enfrentamos al dolor del rechazo, al vacío de la pérdida, a la mordedura del dolor físico, a la rotura del arrepentimiento o a la traición de la violación, nos tambaleamos en su estela. El dolor y el miedo mezclados con la confusión engendran una letanía de preguntas que no tienen respuestas aparentes y el silencio mortal de Dios solo sirve para apretar el agarre del sufrimiento. Y aun así seguimos preguntando. Al igual que Job, queremos lo que está fuera de nuestro alcance: tanto el alivio instantáneo como que Dios se explique a sí mismo. Incluso si Dios proporcionara respuestas, ¿realmente las aceptaríamos como justificación de nuestro sufrimiento?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Nuestra navegación interna: El fundamento\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; La ventana principal al sistema interno de una persona es la reacción ante la dificultad. Por lo tanto, el sufrimiento no crea nuestra actitud, la revela. Por lo general, podemos absorber las aflicciones, pero cuando nuestro mundo interno se ve sacudido, el crisol de la calamidad hace añicos nuestras creencias sobre la vida. Tres de estas creencias que deben evaluarse son&nbsp;\u003Cem>me merezco facilidad y comodidad en la vida, el mundo debe ser predecible\u003C\u002Fem>, y&nbsp;\u003Cem>el mundo debe ser justo.\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Me merezco facilidad y comodidad\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nuestra naturaleza nos obliga a buscar placer, comodidad y facilidad. Pero la vida va en contra de nuestros deseos. Consideremos la frase inicial del libro de Scott Peck,&nbsp;\u003Cem>El camino menos transitado\u003C\u002Fem>, “La vida es difícil…”. El comediante Jerry Seinfeld observó que quizás el camino menos transitado está menos transitado por una buena razón. Tenía razón. Nuestro impulso por el placer busca una ruta suave y libre de problemas.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No hay nada inherentemente malo en las comodidades y la facilidad. El problema es que las exigimos y cuando perdemos comodidad y facilidad, asumimos que Dios no es bueno. Incluso Job cuestionó la bondad de Dios acusándolo de maltratarlo. En otras palabras, si estoy incómodo e infeliz, Dios NO es bueno. C. S. Lewis escribió,&nbsp;\u003Cem>“Si Dios fuera bueno, querría hacer a sus criaturas perfectamente felices, y si Dios fuera todopoderoso, sería capaz de hacer lo que desea. Pero las criaturas no son felices.\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;\u003Cem>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Por lo tanto, Dios carece de bondad, o de poder, o de ambos\u003C\u002Fem>.”4 Corrie ten Boom, la famosa sobreviviente de Ravensbruck, comprendió claramente la bondad de Dios. Escribió “…\u003Cem>Dios es bueno cuando envía buen tiempo. Pero Dios también fue bueno cuando permitió que mi hermana Betsie muriera de hambre ante mis ojos en el campo de concentración alemán\u003C\u002Fem>.”\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mientras asumamos que la vida debe ser cómoda, nunca llegaremos a aceptar las pruebas y la adversidad como algo normal, incluso aquellas consideradas inmerecidas. En lugar de mirar a Dios, confiaremos en nuestras propias estrategias para volver a encontrar la comodidad. Si no tenemos éxito, nos revolcaremos en la autocompasión y la miseria.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El mundo debe ser ordenado y predecible\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nuestra naturaleza asume que las realidades no físicas son ordenadas y predecibles, que la desgracia no es aleatoria y que los eventos tienen en su mayoría un resultado positivo. Sabemos de la miseria en el mundo, pero distinguimos innatamente entre el “mundo en general” y “nuestro mundo”. La forma en que vivimos en nuestro mundo transmite la sensación de que tenemos poco valor por el mundo invisible. Es la medida de nuestra realidad la que ocupa nuestros pensamientos. Tratar los problemas como una cuestión de habilidad o elección, y reducir los problemas a un tamaño manejable, resulta más reconfortante que considerar los propósitos más profundos de Dios. Así, la vida se reduce a una serie de pasos, con causa y efecto. La suposición es que podemos controlar directamente lo que nos sucede a través de nuestro propio comportamiento.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Debido a que el esfuerzo, la práctica o la planificación tienen un efecto en los resultados que podemos controlar, creemos que también pueden determinar resultados aleatorios. La investigación indica que las personas asumen que tienen más control sobre sus vidas del que realmente tienen. Aquellos que piensan que son capitanes de su propio barco, viven con una ilusión de seguridad. Sabemos que suceden cosas malas; pero en nuestro interior creemos que estamos exentos. Pensamos que podemos controlar la vida y que nuestras estrategias nos protegen. Incluso en medio de la adversidad, nos aferramos tenazmente a esta suposición porque, si no es cierta, entonces nosotros también podemos experimentar dificultades aleatorias. Así, vivir correctamente es la estrategia, y la disciplina y la diligencia la fórmula.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Buscamos entender la distribución de lo bueno y lo malo y, en servicio del orden y la predictibilidad, imponemos consecuencias aparentemente naturales entre las personas y lo que experimentan. Un estudio mostró diferentes finales del regreso de una mujer a su hogar a dos grupos.\u003C\u002Fp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; El grupo que vio a la mujer llegar a casa sin incidentes no observó conductas de riesgo, pero el grupo que vio a la mujer atacada informó que ella no tuvo precaución. Para proteger la ilusión de que nuestro mundo es predecible y por lo tanto controlable, culpamos para imponer una ilusión de control. La imprevisibilidad de un evento desafía esa ilusión, resultando en confusión, pánico y desesperación. Porque un mundo predecible requiere orden lógico, cuando no podemos razonar la causa y el efecto, el sufrimiento se vuelve aleatorio e impredecible. En medio del sufrimiento exigimos explicación y justificación por nuestro dolor. Sin estas, concluimos que Dios no puede ser confiable y regresamos débilmente a intentar controlar. En nuestras mentes y corazones, Dios es confiable solo en la medida en que las cosas sucedan como esperamos que sucedan.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El mundo debe ser justo\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nuestro sentido innato de justicia está dañado por el pecado. Torcemos la justicia convirtiéndola en una fórmula en la que las personas obtienen lo que merecen y merecen lo que obtienen. En nuestro mundo, la decencia y bondad individual determinan lo que le sucede a una persona. Al igual que nuestra necesidad de orden y previsibilidad, esto también nos ayuda a minimizar el papel de la aleatoriedad.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Como adultos, sabemos que nuestro mundo no es justo y que seremos tratados injustamente. Por lo tanto, no esperamos justicia sino ser tratados de manera diferente; recibir un trato que definimos como justo. La investigación encontró que las personas quieren misericordia cuando transgreden, pero desean retribución cuando son agraviados. El trato injusto percibido nos hace erizarnos de desprecio hacia nuestros ofensores; incluso hacia Dios. Nuestra tendencia a dudar de la justicia de Dios no es racional, sino emocional.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ayudando a los aconsejados a encontrar sentido en el sinsentido\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nuestro sistema interno no puede acomodar aberraciones.

Pero como consejeros, los problemas que se nos presentan no tienen respuestas claras. Enfrentamos paradojas, ambivalencia y enojo. Debemos explorar la polaridad del corazón humano, posponer respuestas rápidas y asegurarnos de que se reconozca la complejidad de la nueva realidad. Es a través del diálogo sobre las preguntas y el dolor del aconsejado que llega la sanidad. Debemos resistir ser tomados como rehenes por su clamor por certeza. Valorar la lucha, entretener preguntas enloquecedoras y trabajar con un dolor intolerable es difícil. Nuestro propio instinto también puede llevarnos hacia temas seguros, a buscar recetas instantáneas, a detener la hemorragia. Debemos aprender a valorar la lucha sobre la prescripción, las preguntas sobre las respuestas, la ansiedad sobre la comodidad, y el deseo sobre el cumplimiento.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ayudar piadosamente significa estar plenamente presente con los que sufren. A su debido tiempo, debemos guiarlos suavemente hacia la oscuridad de su mundo interno. Sea paciente mientras los invita por el traicionero camino de sanidad que los lleva a través de la fealdad del alma. Su miedo abrumador puede paralizarlos. La ruta hacia la sanidad es menos obvia que una fórmula o plan de acción. Es más ardua e incierta. Dado que el sufrimiento es teología aplicada, los llevará cara a cara con la gracia de Dios.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Referencias\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>1 Mateo 5:35\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>2 M.

Dans la protection de notre société où les réponses toutes faites sont la drogue, nous sommes confrontés à la fragilité de la vie, ressentons de la compassion, puis reprenons nos occupations habituelles. La réalité est que nous aussi sommes sur le chemin des dévastations de la vie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Il est déjà une souffrance de considérer les tragédies qui pourraient nous frapper. Pourtant, la souffrance vient à tous sans préjugé… sur les justes et les injustes.1 Face à la douleur du rejet, au vide de la perte, à la morsure de la douleur physique, à la brisure du regret ou à la trahison de la violation, nous chancelons sous le choc. La douleur et la peur mêlées à la confusion engendrent une litanie de questions sans réponses apparentes, et le silence mortel de Dieu ne fait que resserrer l’étreinte de la souffrance. Et pourtant nous continuons à demander. Tout comme Job, nous voulons ce qui est hors d’atteinte : à la fois un soulagement instantané et que Dieu s’explique. Même si Dieu donnait des réponses, les accepterions-nous vraiment comme justification de notre souffrance ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Notre navigation interne : Le fondement\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; La fenêtre principale sur le système interne d’une personne est sa réaction à la difficulté. Ainsi, la souffrance ne crée pas notre attitude, elle la révèle. Habituellement, nous pouvons absorber les afflictions, mais lorsque notre monde interne est ébranlé, le creuset du malheur brise nos croyances sur la vie. Trois de ces croyances qui doivent être évaluées sont&nbsp;\u003Cem>Je mérite le confort et la facilité dans la vie, le monde doit être prévisible\u003C\u002Fem>, et&nbsp;\u003Cem>le monde doit être juste.\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Je mérite le confort et la facilité\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Notre nature nous pousse à rechercher le plaisir, le confort et la facilité. Mais la vie va à l’encontre de nos désirs. Considérons la première phrase du livre de Scott Peck,&nbsp;\u003Cem>Le Moins Fréquenté des Chemins\u003C\u002Fem>, « La vie est difficile… ». Le comédien Jerry Seinfeld a observé que peut-être le chemin le moins fréquenté l’est pour une bonne raison. Il avait raison. Notre quête de plaisir recherche un chemin lisse et sans embûches.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Il n’y a rien de fondamentalement mal à vouloir le confort et la facilité. Le problème, c’est que nous les exigeons et que lorsque nous perdons le confort et la facilité, nous supposons que Dieu n’est pas bon. Même Job a remis en question la bonté de Dieu en l’accusant de le maltraiter. En d’autres termes, si je suis mal à l’aise et malheureux, Dieu N’EST PAS bon. C. S. Lewis a écrit,&nbsp;\u003Cem>« Si Dieu était bon, Il voudrait rendre Ses créatures parfaitement heureuses, et si Dieu était tout-puissant, Il pourrait faire ce qu’Il veut. Mais les créatures ne sont pas heureuses.\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>&nbsp;\u003Cem>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Donc Dieu manque soit de bonté, soit de puissance, soit des deux\u003C\u002Fem> ».4 Corrie ten Boom, la célèbre survivante de Ravensbruck, comprenait profondément la bonté de Dieu. Elle a écrit « …\u003Cem>Dieu est bon quand Il envoie du beau temps. Mais Dieu était aussi bon quand Il a permis à ma sœur Betsie de mourir de faim sous mes yeux dans le camp de concentration allemand\u003C\u002Fem> ».\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Tant que nous supposons que la vie doit être confortable, nous n’accepterons jamais les épreuves et l’adversité comme normales, même celles considérées comme imméritées. Plutôt que de nous tourner vers Dieu, nous nous fierons à nos propres stratégies pour retrouver le confort. Si elles échouent, nous nous vautrerons dans l’apitoiement sur soi et la misère.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le monde doit être ordonné et prévisible\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Notre nature suppose que les réalités non physiques sont ordonnées et prévisibles, que le malheur n’est pas fortuit, et que les événements ont pour la plupart une issue positive. Nous connaissons la misère dans le monde, mais distinguons instinctivement entre « le monde en général » et « notre monde ». La façon dont nous vivons dans notre monde traduit le peu de valeur que nous accordons au monde invisible. C’est la mesure de notre réalité qui occupe nos pensées. Traiter les problèmes comme une question de compétence ou de choix, et réduire les problèmes à une taille gérable semble plus réconfortant que de considérer les desseins plus profonds de Dieu. Ainsi, la vie se réduit à une série d’étapes, avec cause et effet. L’hypothèse est que nous pouvons directement contrôler ce qui nous arrive par notre propre comportement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Parce que l’effort, la pratique ou la planification ont un effet sur les résultats que nous pouvons contrôler, nous croyons qu’ils peuvent aussi déterminer les résultats aléatoires. Des recherches indiquent que les gens supposent avoir plus de contrôle sur leur vie qu’ils n’en ont réellement. Ceux qui se croient capitaines de leur propre navire vivent avec une illusion de sécurité. Nous savons que les mauvaises choses arrivent ; mais au fond de nous, nous croyons en être exempts. Nous pensons pouvoir contrôler la vie et que nos stratégies nous protègent. Même au milieu de l’adversité, nous nous accrochons tenacement à cette hypothèse parce que, si elle n’est pas vraie, alors nous aussi pouvons connaître des difficultés aléatoires. Ainsi, bien vivre est la stratégie, et la discipline et la diligence la formule.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nous cherchons à comprendre la répartition du bien et du mal et, au service de l’ordre et de la prévisibilité, nous imposons des conséquences apparemment naturelles entre les personnes et ce qu’elles vivent. Une étude a montré différentes fins du retour d’une femme chez elle à deux groupes.\u003C\u002Fp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Le groupe qui a vu la femme rentrer chez elle sans incident n’a observé aucun comportement à risque, mais le groupe qui a vu la femme attaquée a rapporté qu’elle n’avait pas fait preuve de prudence. Pour protéger l’illusion que notre monde est prévisible et donc contrôlable, nous blâmons pour imposer une illusion de contrôle. L’imprévisibilité d’un événement remet en cause cette illusion, entraînant confusion, panique et désespoir. Parce qu’un monde prévisible exige un ordre logique, lorsque nous ne pouvons pas raisonner la cause et l’effet, la souffrance devient aléatoire et imprévisible. Au milieu de la souffrance, nous exigeons une explication et une justification de notre douleur. Sans cela, nous concluons que Dieu ne peut pas être digne de confiance et retournons faiblement à la tentative de contrôle. Dans notre esprit et notre cœur, Dieu n’est digne de confiance que dans la mesure où les choses se passent comme nous nous y attendons.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le monde doit être juste\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Notre sens inné de la justice est altéré par le péché. Nous déformons la justice en une formule selon laquelle les gens obtiennent ce qu’ils méritent et méritent ce qu’ils obtiennent. Dans notre monde, la décence et la bonté individuelles déterminent ce qui arrive à une personne. Comme notre besoin d’ordre et de prévisibilité, cela nous aide aussi à minimiser le rôle du hasard.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; En tant qu’adultes, nous savons que notre monde n’est pas juste et que nous serons traités injustement. Par conséquent, nous n’attendons pas la justice, mais d’être traités différemment ; de recevoir un traitement que nous définissons comme juste. Des recherches ont montré que les gens veulent la miséricorde lorsqu’ils transgressent, mais désirent la rétribution lorsqu’ils sont lésés. Un traitement perçu comme injuste nous fait frémir de mépris pour nos agresseurs ; même pour Dieu. Notre tendance à douter de la justice de Dieu n’est pas rationnelle, mais émotionnelle.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Aider les conseillés à donner un sens au non-sens\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Notre système interne ne peut pas accommoder les aberrations. Face à une aberration, le confort et la complaisance fournis par notre guide interne sont perdus. La nouvelle pièce du puzzle ne rentre pas dans notre système, peu importe à quel point nous la poussons. Par conséquent, nous devons modifier entièrement notre système pour avancer.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dans le sillage du traumatisme, les gens cherchent des conseils pour augmenter leur sentiment de contrôle. Mais en tant que conseillers, les problèmes qui nous sont présentés n’ont pas de réponses claires. Nous faisons face au paradoxe, à l’ambivalence et à la colère. Nous devons explorer la polarité du cœur humain, reporter les réponses rapides et nous assurer que la complexité de la nouvelle réalité est reconnue. C’est à travers le dialogue sur les questions et la douleur du conseillé que la guérison vient. Nous devons résister à être pris en otage par leur cri de certitude. Valoriser la lutte, entretenir des questions déconcertantes et travailler avec une douleur intolérable est difficile. Notre propre instinct peut aussi nous pousser vers des sujets sûrs, à chercher des recettes instantanées, à arrêter l’hémorragie. Nous devons apprendre à valoriser la lutte plutôt que la prescription, les questions plutôt que les réponses, l’anxiété plutôt que le confort, et le désir plutôt que l’accomplissement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Aider de manière divine signifie être pleinement présent avec les souffrants. En temps voulu, nous devons les guider doucement dans l’obscurité de leur monde interne. Soyez patient lorsque vous les invitez sur le chemin périlleux de la guérison qui les fait traverser la laideur de l’âme. Leur peur accablante peut les paralyser. Le chemin vers la guérison est moins évident qu’une formule ou un plan d’action. Il est plus ardu et incertain. Puisque la souffrance est une théologie appliquée, elle les amènera face à face avec la grâce de Dieu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Références\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>1 Matthieu 5:35\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>2 M.

Third,\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>again, I knew that Bible was true and Jesus said \"But as many as recieved Him, to them He gave the\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>right to become a child of God.\" So right there, I didn't know a lot.

칠십인역은 적어도 이백 년의 간격이 있었음을 역사적으로 증명합니다.”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>그리고 제가 이 예언들을 추적해 본 결과, 삼백 개가 넘는 예언이 모두 예수 그리스도 안에서 성취되었음을 발견했습니다. 심지어 하루 만에 약 열다섯 개의 예언이 성취되기도 했습니다. 저는 이 모든 예언을 살펴보며 생각했습니다. “잠깐, 이 예언들이 한 사람의 생애에, 그의 가문, 태어날 장소, 모든 것까지 정확히 성취될 확률은 얼마나 될까?”\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>그때 피터 스토너 박사라는 과학자가 있었습니다. 그는 《과학이 말한다》라는 책을 썼는데, 이 예언들이 예수님 안에서 모두 성취된 것에 놀라움을 금치 못했습니다. 그래서 그는 현대 확률 이론을 적용해, 이 예언들이 그리스도 안에서 성취될 확률을 계산했습니다. 그 결과는 충격적이었습니다.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>삼백삼십삼 개가 아니라, 단지 여덟 개의 예언만이 한 사람 안에서 성취될 확률조차 1에 0이 열일곱 개 붙은 수, 즉 10의 17승 분의 1이라는 것입니다. 이 숫자를 어떻게 이해할 수 있을까요?\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>스토너 박사는 이렇게 설명했습니다. 텍사스 주 전체를 은화로 2피트 깊이로 덮는다고 상상해 보십시오. 그 가운데 하나에 빨간 표시를 하고 다시 섞어 놓습니다. 눈을 가린 사람이 텍사스 주 전체를 돌아다니며, 우연히 한 개의 은화를 집어 든다면, 그게 바로 표시된 은화일 확률이 바로 여덟 개의 예언이 한 사람 안에서 성취될 확률과 같다는 것입니다.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>저는 믿고 싶지 않았지만, 지적으로는 예수님이 독특하다는 결론에 이르게 되었습니다. 예수님은 자신이 누구인지에 대한 주장에서도, 제시하신 증거에서도, 그리고 부활에서도 독특하셨습니다. 저는 처음에 “죽은 사람이 다시 살아난다는 게 말이 되나? 죽으면 끝이야.”라고 생각했습니다.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>하지만 성경 밖의 역사적 증거까지 포함해 예수 그리스도의 부활을 조사한 결과, 저는 이렇게 결론 내렸습니다. 예수 그리스도의 부활은 역사상 인류에게 주어진 가장 큰 사기이거나, 아니면 가장 위대한 사실 중 하나라는 것입니다.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>미국의 한 저명한 변호사는 하버드 로스쿨을 유명하게 만든 사람인데, 이렇게 말했습니다. “예수 그리스도의 부활에 대한 증거는 역사상 거의 모든 다른 사건에 대한 증거보다 더 강력하다.” 그리고 그는 신자가 되었습니다.\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>마침내, 그해 12월 19일 저녁 8시 30분, 대학에서 저는 지적으로 정직해져야 했습니다. 그날 밤, 제가 할 수 있는 최선의 방법으로 이렇게 기도했습니다. “주 예수님, 저를 위해 십자가에서 죽어주셔서 감사합니다. 제가 이 세상에 단 한 사람뿐이었더라도, 주님은 여전히 저를 위해 죽으셨을 것입니다.” 그 생각을 하면 지금도 소름이 돋습니다. 둘째로, 저는 성경이 진리라는 것을 알게 되었고, 성경은 이렇게 말씀하고 있다는 것을 알게 되었습니다. “만일 우리가”죄를 자백하면, 그는 신실하시고 의로우사 우리 죄를 용서하실 것입니다.\" 그래서 저는 지금 제 죄를 자백한다고 말했습니다. 세 번째로,\n\n다시, 저는 성경이 진리라는 것을 알았고, 예수님께서 \"영접하는 자 곧 그 이름을 믿는 자들에게는 하나님의 자녀가 되는 권세를 주셨으니\"라고 말씀하셨습니다. 그래서 그 자리에서, 저는 많이 알지 못했지만, 그냥 \"주 예수님, 저는 당신이 필요합니다. 당신의 약속에 따라 행동하겠습니다. 제 삶에 들어오셔서, 제 속사람을 변화시켜 주십시오.\"라고 말했습니다.\n\n약 6개월에서 1년, 1년 반 정도의 기간 동안, 제 인생 전체가 바뀌었습니다. 그래서 저는 진심으로 예수님은 독특하시고, 저는 그분을 제 자신의 독특하고 개인적인 구주이자 주님으로 알게 되었다고 말할 수 있습니다. 여러분도 그렇게 될 수 있습니다.\n\n더 많은 질문이 있으시다면, 저도 그랬고 지금도 많은 질문이 있습니다. truelife.org에 가시면 다른 영상들을 클릭하실 수 있고, 여러분의 질문에 답해줄 영상이 분명히 있을 것이라고 장담합니다. 아마도 저처럼 누군가와 개인적으로 이야기하고 싶으실 수도 있습니다. truelife.org에 가셔서 교회 찾기를 클릭하시고, 여러분의 지역 번호를 입력하시면 화면에 여러 교회와 목사님들의 연락처가 나타날 것입니다. 여러분은 그들에게 전화할 완전한 자유가 있으며, 그들은 여러분과 이야기하기를 좋아할 것입니다.\n\n저와 함께 시간을 내주셔서 감사합니다. 하나님의 축복이 있기를!",[],{"id":102,"name":2244,"description":2245,"slug":2246,"background":2247,"thumbnail":2248,"supercategory":1276,"created_at":480,"updated_at":2249,"embed_thumbnail":2250,"embed_icon":503,"featured_category":18,"name_es":2251,"description_es":2252,"playerembed":2253,"order":18,"name_fr":2254,"description_fr":2255,"name_ko":2256,"description_ko":2257,"answers":2258,"testimonials":2275,"isVideo":50},"Jehovah's Witnesses","Jehovah Witness's are a very kind and caring, but there is a message here for each of them that we know will touch their heart.","jehovah-s-witnesses","https:\u002F\u002Fs3.amazonaws.com\u002Ftruelife1\u002Fbackgrounds\u002F21\u002Fcategorybackgrounds\u002Ffull.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Ftruelifeorg.s3.amazonaws.com\u002Fresources\u002F1671830517862_Screen%20Shot%202022-12-23%20at%204.21.23%20PM.png","2023-08-03T07:02:57.796Z","https:\u002F\u002Ftruelifeorg.s3.amazonaws.com\u002Fresources\u002F1671830518678_Screen%20Shot%202022-12-23%20at%204.21.23%20PM.png","Los Testigos de Jehová","\n\nLos Testigos de Jehová son muy amables y atentos, pero sabemos que hay un mensaje aquí para cada uno de ellos que tocará sus corazones.","\u003Ciframe src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplayer.vimeo.com\u002Fvideo\u002F59538708?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;color=BF1E2E&amp;autoplay=1\" width=\"935\" height=\"526\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen>\u003C\u002Fiframe>","\n\nLes Témoins de Jéhovah","\n\nLes Témoins de Jéhovah sont très gentils et attentionnés, mais nous savons qu'ils ont un message qui les touchera profondément.","\n\n제자호의 증인","\n\n제자와의 증인들은 매우 친절하고 관대하지만, 그들에게 우리가 알고 있는 메시지",[2259],{"id":2260,"title":2261,"description":2262,"featured":50,"transcript":190,"subtitle":2263,"playerembed":2253,"category_id":102,"slug":2264,"answertype":531,"created_at":751,"updated_at":2265,"thumbnail":2266,"embed_thumbnail":2267,"embed_icon":503,"title_es":2268,"description_es":2269,"playerembed_es":2270,"transcript_es":18,"title_fr":2271,"description_fr":2272,"playerembed_fr":18,"transcript_fr":18,"title_ko":2273,"description_ko":2274,"playerembed_ko":18,"transcript_ko":18,"question_id":18,"category_slug":2246,"category_name":-1},106,"Are Jehovah's Witnesses Right?","\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>Are you ready to find out what true life is?

His journey that day had been long ago predicted by the prophet Zechariah who had told the Jewish People to expect their Messiah to come to them in this humble way (Zechariah 9:9). While crowds of palm-waving Jews rejoiced at His “triumphal entry,” the religious establishment demanded that he silence these newfound disciples. But Jesus responded, “I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!” (Luke 19:40). Jesus’ words perhaps referenced the huge stone blocks that surrounded Him at every turn in the Holy City. Today, even though disciples multiplied by millions still rejoice over Him, the stones have also added their voice. In fact, the very stones of which Jesus spoke today have been unearthed at the foot of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Fulfilling Jesus own prophecy that they would fall (Luke 19:43-44), they still cry out to our age that the triumph of that first Easter continues still. Such stones are part of the historic witness of archaeology, a science that has come to the service of Scripture at a time when other sciences have sought to subvert it.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We live in an exciting time! New discoveries are being unearthed throughout the world often faster than our newspapers can report them. They open a new window on the ancient world that permits us to view the stories of the Bible with an accuracy never known before. The first generation of Jewish-Christians who were bequeathed the Gospels no doubt had such a first-hand experience of the history and places they describe. Until the advent of archaeology, Christians were left to reconstruct the world of the Bible and the drama of the events of Easter as best they could. Masterpieces of religious art from previous centuries pictured the crucifixion, entombment and resurrection of Christ with the only reference point they had - their own world. Even if they included Oriental models, the look was still more that of seventeenth-century turbaned Turks rather than first-century Jews and Romans. While not detracting from the drama, and certainly with every good intention toward history, such scenes nevertheless portrayed an unrealistic image that was more faith than fact. Today, archaeology has restored much of the first-century world, enabling us to experience the reality of Easter in a way not available to previous centuries of Christians.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In the late 18th century, no one could have dreamed what wonders archaeology was to reveal. The world of the past was itself a dream, forgotten except for the Bible’s parade of ancient names and places. However, the Bible stood as the only surviving testimony to itself. The reader was the blessed by its truths, yet often left baffled by the sites and subjects it recorded. Archaeology has reclaimed mankind’s lost heritage, chasing away the spiders of time whose webs of ruin have hidden our past from us. It has resurrected the faded glory of forgotten eras so that future generations can approach their faith with greater facts than any other in history. In many cases it has also chased away skeptical views of the Bible introduced to our Christian culture by the invasion of biblical higher criticism over a century ago. No longer can the Bible be thought to have been the late product of fanciful Hebrew editors seeking to create a religious history for a race without origins. Rather, as Professor William Foxwell Albright, the renown Dean of American biblical archaeology professed decades ago: \"Discovery after discovery has established the accuracy of innumerable details, and has brought increased recognition of the value of the Bible as a source of history.\" As a result, archaeology has been of special importance to those who seek to capture the original context of scripture. In this regard, Joseph Callaway once observed: “The real business of archaeology is to establish factual benchmarks in the world of the Bible to guide interpreters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Purposes of Archaeology\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Archaeology has revealed the cities, the palaces, the temples, the houses of those who lived shoulder to shoulder with those whose names were inscribed in scripture. It makes possible for us what the apostle John once voiced to authenticity his message: \"What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have beheld and our hands handled, concerning the Word of Life\" (1 John 1:1). Tangible things assist faith in its growth toward God. Archaeology brings forth the tangible things of history so that faith can have a reasonable context in which to develop. It also keep faith in balance with facts, confirming the reality of the people and events of the Bible so that skeptics and saints alike might clearly perceive its spiritual message within an historical context. Many people wrongly assume that the purpose of archaeology is to “prove” the Bible. However, since the Bible describes itself as the \"Word of God,\" it cannot be proved or disproved by archaeology anymore than God Himself is subject to the limited evidence of this world. The proper use of archaeology in relation to the Bible is to confirm, correct, clarify, and complement its theological message.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Confirming the Word of the Bible\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; According to Webster's English Dictionary one of the meanings of the word \"confirm\" is \"to give new assurance of the validity\" of something. Archaeology provides us new assurance from the stones to accompany the assurance we already have from the Spirit. For instance, a little more than 100 years ago higher critical scholars doubted the existence of the Hittites, a people mentioned 47 times in the Old Testament and among whose ranks were Ephron the Hittite, who sold Abraham his burial cave (Genesis 23:10-20), and Uriah the Hittite, the husband of Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon (2 Samuel 11). Then in 1876 the ruins of the Hittite empire was discovered at Boghaz-Koy with more than 10,000 clay tablets chronicling their history. Archaeology has produced the same confirmation of the historical sites of Nineveh, Babylon, and countless lost cities in Israel and Jordan. Such confirmation is constantly occurring with new archaeological excavations. Until recently there was no material evidence from the archaeological record to confirm the biblical account of the existence of a biblical King David. That changed in 1993-1994 when Professor Avraham Biran unearthed a monumental inscription in the northern Israelite city of Dan. The inscription, written by one of Israel’s ancient enemies (so no Israelite can be accused of fabricating it) recorded the name of one of Judah’s kings “of the house of David.” These tell-tale words give new assurance of scripture’s most famous warrior and psalmist, since if there was a “house of David” there had to be a David to have a house! In like manner, only a few years ago a startling confirmation of one of the biblical prophets was discovered. The Bible tells us that the Prophet Jeremiah, who stood against an ungodly empire in the last days of Judah’s history, had an associate named Baruch who served as his scribe. The biblical book of Jeremiah, once burned by a rebellious king, was personally written by the hand of this Baruch. In excavations in the ancient City of David more than 50 clay seals were discovered, preserved by the fire that had destroyed the city according to Jeremiah’s prophecy. One of the seals from this site, once used to seal an ancient papyrus document, contained the name of Jeremiah’s scribe Baruch. More astonishing, on the upper left corner of the seal is the imprint of Baruch’s own finger, made in the soft clay the day his letter was sealed and baked by the fire to a hardness that protected it against time. Here, then, is the very fingerprint of a man who wrote one of the books of the Bible and served at the side of one of Israel’s great prophetic figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Correcting our Wording of the Bible\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One of the first steps in the understanding of the scriptures is to discern the text as originally written by its authors. While it is unlikely that archaeologists will ever dig up one of the autographs (original texts of the Bible), the ancient copies that have come to us have been preserved and passed down to us in such a manner as to give us confidence that we have the very “Word of God” in our hands. From the sands of Egypt to the caves of Qumran, archaeology has unearthed hundreds of copies of Old Testament books and thousands of copies of the New Testament books. In the first category are hundreds of Hebrew, Aramaic inscriptions which contain vocabulary familiar to the Old Testament. Our oldest copy of a biblical text comes from an inscription discovered only in 1979 by Israeli archaeologist Gabriel Barcay in a tomb in Jerusalem’s Hinnom Valley. Among the more than 1,000 objects taken from the tomb were several tiny silver scrolls dating from before the Judean exile of 586 B.C. One contained the complete text of the Aaronic benediction in Numbers 6:24-26. This text showed scholars how well our later versions of the Bible preserved this important biblical blessing as well as forced a re-evaluation of the old higher critical theory that the authorship of most of the Pentateuch had only taken place after the Judeans return from exile. One of the greatest manuscript discoveries of all time has been the fabulous Dead Sea Scrolls. Included in this collection of 1,100 documents are 233 whole or fragmentary copies of every book of the Old Testament (except the book of Esther), most written at least a hundred years before the birth of Christ. Yet, even greater than our discovery of these Old Testament documents are those for the New Testament. Some 14,000 whole or partial copies are now available to scholars. To this we can add the sensational discoveries of ancient manuscripts in Nag Hammadi which contain Gnostic gospels and texts as well as thousands of newly recovered texts long lost in Saint Catherine’s monastery at the foot of traditional Mt. Sinai. These ancient manuscripts provide the basis for restoring the precise form, grammar, and syntax of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek words of the Bible, as well as their exact meaning in the time in which they were written. Such archaeological literary treasures have given us a far greater collection of biblical manuscripts than that possessed by the Church in previous centuries and have enabled scholars to make better translations from the ancient languages, thus improving our own English language versions of the Bible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Clarifying the World of the Bible\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Since the \"Word\" was announced to people in this world, at particular places and times, the historical, cultural, and religious context of those addressed must be understood. However, we in the United States are 8,000 miles and some 4,000 years removed from such times and places. Therefore, the better we are able to understand the original meaning of the message, as first communicated in the ancient world of the Bible, the better we will be able to apply its timeless truths to our lives in the modern world. Professor Amihai Mazar, director of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem's Institute of Archaeology explains the importance of this when he says: “archaeology is our only source of information that comes directly from the biblical period itself … a whole picture of daily life from this period… which is the only … evidence that we have from the biblical period except the Bible itself … We can now imagine the size and type of settlements people lived in, what type of town plan there was, what kind of vessels they used in every day life, what kind of enemies they had and what kind of weapons they used against these enemies - everything related to the material aspect of life in the Old Testament period can be described by archeological finds from this particular period.” All of these archaeological details assists us in our reconstructing this original context of the Bible so that the theological truth it contains will not be misinterpreted and misapplied. The monumental excavations in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Israel have now revealed much of the shape and substance of these long buried empires. Based on paintings from Egyptian tombs and reliefs on their temples we know what the biblical patriarchs may have looked like as well as many of the foreign armies that attacked both Egypt and ancient Israel throughout its history. We even have in some instances stone “snapshots” of actual biblical personalities. From the high cliffs of Behistun we have the portrait of the Persian monarch Darius the Great, from an Assyrian obelisk a picture of the Judean King Jehu, and from Israel a painted image of an enthroned King Hezekiah. Such archaeological trivia has made possible the wonderfully accurate recreations of these ancient civilizations in television documentaries and feature films.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Complementing the Witness of the Bible\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The 66 books of the Bible were written on at least five continents over 4,000 years of history by prophets, poets and peasants as well as by shepherds and statesmen. While a vast and diverse witness, the scriptures only mention certain people and record specific events that were necessary to their larger theological purpose. As a consequence, much of significance is deliberately excluded that truths of a greater importance might be included. However, such necessary deletions cause some to question the historical accuracy of the biblical authors. Archaeology through its revelation of the context and culture of the lands and civilizations in which the biblical drama was enacted, adds a complementary witness as fills out the outline drawn by the biblical authors verifying that the particulars they present they faithful to the facts. For example, although the Israelite King Omri who built up Samaria and made it the capital of the Northern Kingdom, was one of the most important rulers of his time (885-874 B.C.), the biblical text gives him only a passing reference (1 Kings 16:21-28). This was most likely because he was one of the most wicked of the Israelite kings and his prideful accomplishments did not deserve recognition. Archaeology complements the biblical notice of King Omri by providing the historical background for his extra-biblical exploits from the recovered records of his foreign foes. It reveals that the biblical authors are correct in their assessment of his character and command. This complementary witness has been especially helpful in understanding the time of Jesus and the correctness and context of His commentary on and extensive dialogues with the various Jewish religious sects. The problem for interpreters until recent times was that while such groups as the Pharisees and Sadducees were well known from the Gospels, no contemporary witness to them was known to have been preserved. However, when the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered and studied it was found that they were filled with numerous descriptions and accounts of these Jewish sects, with whom the Community that hid the scrolls also had controversy. Students of the Gospels now have the advantage of reading complementary commentary on these groups from before the birth of Christ, yet employing the similar strong statements reminiscent of Jesus. In this light, archaeology has also given us countless complementary texts, such as accounts of Creation and Flood which parallel the scriptural stories, demonstrating the trustworthiness of Bible. These not only reveal the Bible’s historical character, but emphasize its uniqueness when compared with other ancient Near Eastern documents. In this regard the discoveries of the religious literatures of the Sumerians, Egyptians, Hittites, Assyrians, Babylonians and Canaanites have all highlighted the originality and theological distinctiveness of the Bible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Archaeology and Easter\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When we come to the life-changing message of Easter, with its account of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, archaeology again confirms that even though miracles are involved they are being enacted in the arena of actual history. This is important for Christians on two counts. First, our stories of the season, preached with passion in Easter services and performed with pageantry in Easter productions, may connote an air of unreality. As with any truth that has become tradition we can lose the sense of its original setting in this world and feel it belongs to some other. Such a loss of connection with the real world context of Christianity - and especially of the defining facts of our faith - imperils our practice of the real significance of the season, namely our personal salvation provided at the cross and of resurrection life and the future hope of our own bodily resurrection. Archaeology transforms our flannelgraph conceptions of Jesus in pressed linen walking on carpet grass and it replaces it with a real figure from a real world that calls for real faith. As archaeology rightly informs our understanding of the events of Easter, it does not diminish the miracle of the message but increases our faith in its historical fulfillment.\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;A second concern for archaeology’s importance to Easter grows out the first and relates to the problem of the present postmodern concept of Christianity as an experience transcending history. This is well expressed by Marcus Borg, Oregon State University professor and Chairman of the Jesus Seminar: “The truth of Easter does not depend on whether there really was an empty tomb … It is because Jesus is known as a living reality that we take Easter stories seriously, not the other way around. And taking them seriously need not mean taking them literally.” However, archaeological excavations (see sidebars) have given sufficient evidence that there is every reason to take the Easter stories both seriously and literally.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Touching the Tomb of Jesus\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The most serious events of the Easter story are centered around the burial and resurrection of Jesus. Archaeology has revealed many first-century Judean tombs which correspond in type to the Gospels’ description of the tomb of Jesus. However, is it possible to identify the actual tomb in Jerusalem recorded in these accounts? Christian tourists most favor the Protestant site known as \"the Garden Tomb\" discovered in 1883 by the British officer Charles Gordon. Here in a serene setting outside the present -day walls of Jerusalem can be found a weathered tomb situated next to a deeply eroded limestone hill which Gordon identified as \"Skull Hill\" (now known as “Gordon’s Calvary”). However, archaeological examination of the site by Jerusalem archaeologists Gabriel Barkay and Amos Kloner have shown that the Garden Tomb is part of a system of Iron Age II type tombs in the area all dating from the First Temple period (8th-7th centuries B.C.). The most prominent of these tombs are located next door to the Garden Tomb on the property of the French School of Archaeology, the École Biblique. Since the New Testament says that Jesus was buried in \"a new tomb, in which no one had yet been laid\" (John 19:41), the Garden Tomb, already some 800 years in the time of Jesus, cannot meet the Gospel’s explicit criteria.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; However, the traditional site of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which has a history going back at least to the fourth century A.D., based on its description in Byzantine sources and the existence of columns still in use today from the church of Constantine the Great, has significant archaeological support. Although today it is located within the present walls of the Old City, and the Gospels specify that Jesus was crucified \"outside the walls\" (John 19:20; Hebrews 13:11-12), the modern walls do not follow the ancient course. This was proven in the late 1960's when British archaeologist Kathleen Kenyon discovered that the wall now enclosing the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was a \"Second Wall\" constructed after the time of Jesus (about A.D. 41). Therefore, when Jesus was crucified the site would have been outside the earlier \"First Wall.\"&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Furthermore, in 1976 Israeli archaeologist Magen Broshi uncovered a portion of the original Herodian wall in the northeast section of the church. This revealed that the area upon which the church is built was just outside the western wall of the city on the line of the First Wall. In addition, other archaeologists have discovered that a \"Garden Gate\" was on this wall, a fact which agrees with the Gospel’s mention of a garden in this area. Examination of the tombs in the vicinity of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre confirm that they are from the late Second Temple period (first century A.D.), the very time in which Jesus would have lived. The type of tomb also matches the precise type of tomb in which Jesus was laid. In the first century two types of tombs were in use. One was the more common kokim tomb which employed long narrow niches cut into the chamber of the burial cave walls at right angles. The other known as thearcosolia tomb had shallow benches cut parallel to the wall of the chamber with an arch-shaped top over the recess. These type of tombs were reserved for those of wealth and high rank. This seems to be the type of tomb in which Jesus was laid because Jesus tomb was said to be a wealthy man's tomb (Matthew 27:57; cf. Isaiah 53:9), the body could be seen by the disciples as laid out (something only possible with a bench cut tomb), John 20:5, 11, and the angels were seen sitting at both His head and feet (John 20:12). The “Tomb of Jesus” at the traditional site, though deformed by centuries of devoted pilgrims, is clearly composed of an antechamber and a rock-cut arcosolium.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Church of the Holy Sepulchre also encloses a portion of a hill thought to be the true site of Calvary. Excavations to expose more of this rock have revealed that it was a rejected portion of a pre-exilic white stone quarry, as evidenced by Iron Age II pottery at the site. In this light, if this is the actual site it has been suggested that Peter's citation of Psalm 118:22: \"The stone which the builders rejected …\" may have a double meaning (see Acts 4:11; 1 Peter 2:7). By the first century B.C. this rejected quarry had made the transition from a refuse dump to a burial site. It also gives evidence that it was located near a public road in Jesus' time, another factor which helps to qualify it as the authentic site since the Gospels record that those passing by the place where Jesus’ cross was situated were able to mock Him (see Matthew 27:39).The nature of the rock site fits both the Jewish and Roman requirements as an execution site and it may be because of its association with a place of death that it was called in Jesus’ time the \"place of the skull.\" This rock upon which the Church was built can still be seen in part today through a section preserved for viewing which bears evidence of earthquake activity, a fact which accords with the Gospel story (Matthew 27:51).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Excavations conducted in the late 1970's at the site revealed further evidence for this being the place where the original Easter drama was performed. In the lower sections of the Church were discovered the foundations of the Roman emperor Hadrian's “Forum,” in which his Temple of Aphrodite had been erected around A.D.135. Hadrian followed Roman custom in building pagan temples and shrines to supercede earlier religious structures. This was done at the site of the Jewish Temple, located not far from the Holy Sepulchre Church, and the fourth century church historian and Bishop of Caesarea Eseubius confirms that it was also done in this case: “Hadrian built a huge rectangular platform over this quarry, concealing the holy cave beneath this massive mound.\" If the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is the actual site venerated by Christians as the tomb of Jesus, it would explain this location for the Roman building.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Final Thoughts\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When the disciples first came to the tomb on that first Easter morning, the Gospels record: \"the body of Jesus they did not find.\" In the same manner down through the ages skeptics and critics have also come, whether literally or figuratively, and the verdict of history has remained the same as in ancient times - \"His body they did not find.\" In the final analysis, archaeology may bring us to the tomb, but only faith - informed by the facts - can bring us to Christ. Yet, because archaeology has shown us that the facts that support faith are accurate - an identifiable tomb attesting to literal events - our faith in the Christ of history does depend upon an historically empty tomb for its reality. Archaeology has revealed the persons (Caiaphas, Pilate) and events (crucifixion, entombment) which make up the story of Easter. The resurrection is interwoven with these facts so as to command the same consideration. And when considered along with the historical, social and psychological facts of the first century that surround the claim that Christ arose, the stones still cry out concerning Him Who was and is and is to come!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Side Bar #1: Caiaphas - No Bones of Contention\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One of the prominent figures in the Easter story is the Jewish High Priest Caiaphas. From A.D. 18-36 he served as the leader of the Sandhedrin, the supreme Jewish counsel responsible for legal affairs in Jesus’ day. It was Caiaphas who prophesied that Jesus would die for the Nation and set in motion the plan to kill Him (John 11:49-53; 18:14). And it was Caiaphas who presided over the late night trial at which Jesus confessed Himself to be the Messiah and was subsequently condemned (Matthew 26:57-68). It was also in the courtyard of Caiaphus' house that Peter waited for word about Jesus, but instead betrayed Him three times as the cock crowed (Matthew 26:69-75). Today, thanks to archaeology, almost 2,000 after his death, Caiaphus has made a reappearance in Jerusalem. His physical remains were discovered accidentally in November of 1990 by construction workers who were beginning construction for a new park in Jerusalem's Peace Forest just south of the Temple Mount. As the work crew was digging, the ground suddenly collapsed exposing a first-century burial chamber with 12 limestone ossuaries (burial boxes). One exquisitely ornate ossuary, decorated with incised rosettes, obviously belonged to a wealthy or high-ranking patron who could afford such a box. On this box, however, was also an inscription. It read in two places: Qafa and Yehosef bar Qayafa (\"Caiaphas,\" \"Joseph, son of Caiaphas\"). The New Testament refers to him only as Caiaphas, but the first-century Jewish historian Flavius Josephus gives his full name as \"Joseph who was called Caiaphas of the high priesthood.\" Inside were the bones of six different people, including those of a 60-year old man. At the time of the discovery Steven Feldman, associate editor of the Biblical Archaeology Review observed: \"the find should be particularly exciting to some believing Christians because to them it may bolster the Bible's accuracy …\" Indeed it does.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Side Bar #2: Pontius Pilate - Evidence that Demands a Verdict\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; During the Easter Passion perhaps no person is more memorable than the troubled figure of Pontius Pilate who uttered the immortal words \"What is truth?\" For ten years from A.D. 26-36 Pilate was the Roman officer in charge of Judea and therefore destined to confront Jesus of Nazareth. That day arrived when the High Priest Caiaphas turned Jesus over to Roman authority for official trial and punishment. Pilate has the distinction of being the only person during Jesus’ trials that He chose to talk with. He refused to answer the Judean king Herod Antipas and only under oath did so for Caiaphas. Pilate alone was given the much sought explanation for Jesus' messianic claims, namely that He was a King sent from beyond this world to bring truth to the world (John 18:36-37). Based on his interrogation of Jesus, Pilate found insufficient evidence for a verdict, and would have apparently released Jesus had it not been for the political pressure brought by the Jewish Sandhedrin (John 19:12-15). Perhaps it was for this reason that Pilate, defying the Sandhedrin’s protest, placed a placard (known as a titulus ) in public display above Jesus on the cross which read in Hebrew, Latin and Greek: \"Jesus the Nazarene, the King of the Jews\" (John 19:19-22). Today, Pilate has spoken again to bring evidence to our age that demands an historical verdict to the Gospel’s account. From Pilate's official residence at the Mediterranean seaboard city of Caesarea Maritima in excavations at Caesarea's Roman theater came a stone plaque bearing the name of Pilate. The two-foot by three-foot slab, now known as the Pilate Inscription, was found re-used as a building block in a fourth century remodeling project, but it was an authentic first-century monument, apparently written to commemorate Pilate's erection and dedication of a Tiberium, a temple for the worship of Tiberias Caesar, the Roman emperor during Pilate's term over Judea. The Latin inscription of four lines gives his title as \"Pontius Pilate, Prefect of Judea,\" a title very similar to that used of him in the Gospels (see Luke 3:1). This archaeological evidence of Pilate again testifies to the accuracy of the Gospel writers. Their understanding of such official terms indicate they lived during the time of their use and not a century or two thereafter when such usage would have been forgotten.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Side Bar #3: A Witness of Crucifixion\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One of the central events of the Easter story is Jesus’ death by Roman crucifixion. When Jesus and the two criminals were crucified it was on both the afternoon of the greatest festival in Judaism and the Sabbath. Therefore, the Jewish rulers had demanded a quick crucifixion so as to not desecrate the approaching holy day (John 19:31-32). Such archaeological details reveal that the Gospel writers had been historical eyewitness of the crucifixion, just as they said (John 19:35). Nevertheless, because no material evidence of any crucified victim had ever been uncovered in the holy land skeptics and scholars dismissed the Gospels accounts as either imagined or inaccurate. They argued that nails could not have been used to fasten a crucified victim to a cross, because the anatomy of hands and feet could not support them. They were rather bound by ropes. This directly contracted Jesus’ own testimony when after His resurrection He showed His crucified body to His disciples and said \"See My hands and My feet …\" (Luke 24:39). In like manner, these same critics contended that Jesus' body, as the body of most criminals and insurrectionists, would not have received a proper burial, but instead would have been dumped into a common grave set aside for the corpses of those defiled by crucifixion. Therefore, the narrative concerning Jesus' burial in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea (Luke 23:51-56), from which He was resurrected, was nothing more than a fictitious tale. However, archaeology has since produced a witness to the contrary. In 1968 the remains of a crucified man from Giv'at ha-Mivtar, a northern suburb of Jerusalem, was discovered in an ossuary from near the time of Jesus. The name of the man, from an Aramaic inscription on the ossuary, was Yohanan ben Ha'galgol, and from an analysis of his skeletal remains he was in his thirties, approximately the same age as Jesus at the time of His crucifixion. His ankle bone was still pierced with a 7 inch-long crucifixion nail and attached to a piece of wood from a cross. Apparently the nail had hit a knot in the olive wood patibulum (the upright section of a cross) and become so lodged that the victim could not be removed without retaining both the nail and a fragment of the cross. In addition, according to one anthropological analyst, there were marks of nails also on the wrist bones and of a board had been used to support the feet. This find reveals afresh the horrors of the Roman punishment as recorded in the Gospels. They indicate that the position the body assumed on the cross was with the legs nailed on either side of the upright stake. Therefore, rather than the body being straight, it was pushed up and twisted, causing terribly painful muscle spasms and eventually death by the excruciating process of asphyxiation. The discovery refutes the theory that crucified victims were simply tied to the cross. The fact that the bones of Yohanan were found in secondary burial within a tomb also disproves the second hypothesis, for this crucified victim, like Jesus, had received a proper Jewish burial.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n","archaeology-and-the-bible-article","2020-05-22T15:43:27.401Z","2026-07-29T17:00:41.293Z","https:\u002F\u002Fs3.amazonaws.com\u002Ftruelife1\u002Ficons\u002F11\u002Fanswerthumbnails\u002Ffull.jpg","La arqueología y la Biblia","\u003Cp>Al comienzo de la semana de Pascua, Jes&uacute;s mont&oacute; un burro desde el Monte de los Olivos hacia los grandes muros construidos en roca de la ciudad de Jerusal&eacute;n.

M&aacute;s bien, como el profesor William Foxwell Albright, el famoso decano de la arqueolog&iacute;a b&iacute;blica estadounidense profes&oacute; hace d&eacute;cadas: \"El descubrimiento tras el descubrimiento ha establecido la precisi&oacute;n de innumerables detalles y ha tra&iacute;do un mayor reconocimiento del valor de la Biblia como fuente de historia\". Como resultado, la arqueolog&iacute;a ha sido de especial importancia para aquellos que buscan capturar el contexto original de las Escrituras. A este respecto, Joseph Callaway observ&oacute; una vez: \"El verdadero negocio de la arqueolog&iacute;a es establecer puntos de referencia f&aacute;cticos en el mundo de la Biblia para guiar a los int&eacute;rpretes\".\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Los prop&oacute;sitos de la arqueolog&iacute;a\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;La arqueolog&iacute;a ha revelado las ciudades, los palacios, los templos, las casas de aquellos que vivieron hombro con hombro con aquellos cuyos nombres estaban inscritos en las Escrituras. Hace posible para nosotros lo que el ap&oacute;stol Juan una vez expres&oacute; con autenticidad su mensaje: \"Lo que fue desde el principio, lo que hemos escuchado, lo que hemos visto con nuestros ojos, lo que hemos visto y nuestras manos manejan, con respecto a la Palabra de Vida \"(1 Juan 1: 1). Las cosas tangibles ayudan a la fe en su crecimiento hacia Dios. La arqueolog&iacute;a presenta las cosas tangibles de la historia para que la fe pueda tener un contexto razonable en el cual desarrollarse. Tambi&eacute;n mantiene la fe en equilibrio con los hechos, confirmando la realidad de las personas y los eventos de la Biblia para que los esc&eacute;pticos y los santos puedan percibir claramente su mensaje espiritual dentro de un contexto hist&oacute;rico. Muchas personas suponen err&oacute;neamente que el prop&oacute;sito de la arqueolog&iacute;a es \"probar\" la Biblia. Sin embargo, dado que la Biblia se describe a s&iacute; misma como la \"Palabra de Dios\", la arqueolog&iacute;a no puede probarla ni refutarla m&aacute;s de lo que Dios mismo est&aacute; sujeto a la evidencia limitada de este mundo. El uso apropiado de la arqueolog&iacute;a en relaci&oacute;n con la Biblia es para confirmar, corregir, aclarar y complementar su mensaje teol&oacute;gico.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Confirmando la Palabra de la Biblia\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Seg&uacute;n el Webster's English Dictionary, uno de los significados de la palabra \"confirmar\" es \"dar una nueva garant&iacute;a de la validez\" de algo. La arqueolog&iacute;a nos proporciona una nueva seguridad de las piedras para acompa&ntilde;ar la seguridad que ya tenemos del Esp&iacute;ritu. Por ejemplo, hace poco m&aacute;s de 100 a&ntilde;os, los eruditos cr&iacute;ticos superiores dudaron de la existencia de los hititas, un pueblo mencionado 47 veces en el Antiguo Testamento y entre cuyas filas se encontraba Efr&oacute;n el heteo, que vendi&oacute; a Abraham su cueva funeraria (G&eacute;nesis 23: 10- 20), y Ur&iacute;as el heteo, el esposo de Betsab&eacute;, la madre de Salom&oacute;n (2 Samuel 11). Luego, en 1876, se descubrieron las ruinas del imperio Heteo en Boghaz-Koy con m&aacute;s de 10,000 tabletas de arcilla que narran su historia. La arqueolog&iacute;a ha producido la misma confirmaci&oacute;n de los sitios hist&oacute;ricos de N&iacute;nive, Babilonia e innumerables ciudades perdidas en Israel y Jordania. Dicha confirmaci&oacute;n se produce constantemente con nuevas excavaciones arqueol&oacute;gicas. Hasta hace poco no hab&iacute;a evidencia material del registro arqueol&oacute;gico para confirmar el relato b&iacute;blico de la existencia de un rey David b&iacute;blico. Eso cambi&oacute; en 1993-1994 cuando el profesor Avraham Biran desenterr&oacute; una inscripci&oacute;n monumental en la ciudad de Dan, en el norte de Israel. La inscripci&oacute;n, escrita por uno de los antiguos enemigos de Israel (para que ning&uacute;n israelita pueda ser acusado de fabricarla) registra el nombre de uno de los reyes de Jud&aacute; \"de la casa de David\". Estas palabras reveladoras dan una nueva seguridad del guerrero m&aacute;s famoso de las Escrituras. y salmista, ya que si hab&iacute;a una \"casa de David\" &iexcl;ten&iacute;a que haber un David para tener una casa! De la misma manera, hace solo unos a&ntilde;os se descubri&oacute; una sorprendente confirmaci&oacute;n de uno de los profetas b&iacute;blicos. La Biblia nos dice que el profeta Jerem&iacute;as, que se enfrent&oacute; a un imperio imp&iacute;o en los &uacute;ltimos d&iacute;as de la historia de Jud&aacute;, ten&iacute;a un asociado llamado Baruch que fue su escriba. El libro b&iacute;blico de Jerem&iacute;as, una vez quemado por un rey rebelde, fue escrito personalmente por la mano de este Baruch. En excavaciones en la antigua ciudad de David se descubrieron m&aacute;s de 50 sellos de arcilla, preservados por el fuego que hab&iacute;a destruido la ciudad seg&uacute;n la profec&iacute;a de Jerem&iacute;as. Uno de los sellos de este sitio, una vez utilizado para sellar un antiguo documento de papiro, conten&iacute;a el nombre del escriba Baruch de Jerem&iacute;as. M&aacute;s sorprendente, en la esquina superior izquierda del sello est&aacute; la huella del dedo de Baruch, hecho en la arcilla blanda el d&iacute;a que su carta fue sellada y cocida por el fuego a una dureza que la protegi&oacute; contra el tiempo. Aqu&iacute;, entonces, est&aacute; la huella digital de un hombre que escribi&oacute; uno de los libros de la Biblia y sirvi&oacute; al lado de una de las grandes figuras prof&eacute;ticas de Israel.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Corrigiendo nuestra redacci&oacute;n de la Biblia\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Uno de los primeros pasos en la comprensi&oacute;n de las Escrituras es discernir el texto originalmente escrito por sus autores. Si bien es poco probable que los arque&oacute;logos desentierren uno de los aut&oacute;grafos (textos originales de la Biblia), las copias antiguas que nos han llegado han sido preservadas y transmitidas de tal manera que nos dan la confianza de que tenemos la misma \"Palabra de Dios\" en nuestras manos. Desde las arenas de Egipto hasta las cuevas de Qumran, la arqueolog&iacute;a ha desenterrado cientos de copias de los libros del Antiguo Testamento y miles de copias de los libros del Nuevo Testamento. En la primera categor&iacute;a hay cientos de inscripciones hebreas, arameas que contienen vocabulario familiar para el Antiguo Testamento. Nuestra copia m&aacute;s antigua de un texto b&iacute;blico proviene de una inscripci&oacute;n descubierta solo en 1979 por el arque&oacute;logo israel&iacute; Gabriel Barcay en una tumba en el valle de Hinnom de Jerusal&eacute;n. Entre los m&aacute;s de 1,000 objetos tomados de la tumba hab&iacute;a varios pergaminos plateados que datan de antes del exilio de Judea en 586 a. C. Uno conten&iacute;a el texto completo de la bendici&oacute;n Aar&oacute;nica en N&uacute;meros 6: 24-26. Este texto mostr&oacute; a los eruditos cu&aacute;n bien nuestras versiones posteriores de la Biblia preservaron esta importante bendici&oacute;n b&iacute;blica, as&iacute; como forzaron una reevaluaci&oacute;n de la vieja teor&iacute;a cr&iacute;tica superior de que la autor&iacute;a de la mayor&iacute;a del Pentateuco solo hab&iacute;a tenido lugar despu&eacute;s de que los jud&iacute;os jugaban del exilio. Uno de los mayores descubrimientos de manuscritos de todos los tiempos ha sido los fabulosos Rollos del Mar Muerto. En esta colecci&oacute;n de 1.100 documentos se incluyen 233 copias enteras o fragmentarias de cada libro del Antiguo Testamento (excepto el libro de Ester), la mayor&iacute;a escritas al menos cien a&ntilde;os antes del nacimiento de Cristo. Sin embargo, incluso mayores que nuestro descubrimiento de estos documentos del Antiguo Testamento son los del Nuevo Testamento. Alrededor de 14,000 copias completas o parciales est&aacute;n ahora disponibles para los acad&eacute;micos. A esto podemos agregar los sensacionales descubrimientos de manuscritos antiguos en Nag Hammadi que contienen evangelios y textos gn&oacute;sticos, as&iacute; como miles de textos recientemente recuperados, perdidos hace mucho tiempo en el monasterio de Santa Catalina al pie del monte tradicional. Sina&iacute; Estos manuscritos antiguos proporcionan la base para restaurar la forma precisa, la gram&aacute;tica y la sintaxis de las palabras hebreas, arameas y griegas de la Biblia, as&iacute; como su significado exacto en el momento en que fueron escritas. Tales tesoros literarios arqueol&oacute;gicos nos han dado una colecci&oacute;n mucho mayor de manuscritos b&iacute;blicos que la que pose&iacute;a la Iglesia en siglos anteriores y han permitido a los eruditos hacer mejores traducciones de los idiomas antiguos, mejorando as&iacute; nuestras propias versiones de la Biblia en ingl&eacute;s.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Clarificando el mundo de la Biblia\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dado que la \"Palabra\" se anunci&oacute; a las personas en este mundo, en lugares y momentos particulares, se debe entender el contexto hist&oacute;rico, cultural y religioso de las personas a las que se dirige. Sin embargo, nosotros en los Estados Unidos estamos a 8,000 millas y unos 4,000 a&ntilde;os retirados de tales tiempos y lugares. Por lo tanto, cuanto mejor podamos comprender el significado original del mensaje, tal como se comunic&oacute; por primera vez en el mundo antiguo de la Biblia, mejor podremos aplicar sus verdades eternas a nuestras vidas en el mundo moderno. El profesor Amihai Mazar, director de la Universidad Hebrea del Instituto de Arqueolog&iacute;a de Jerusal&eacute;n, explica la importancia de esto cuando dice: \"la arqueolog&iacute;a es nuestra &uacute;nica fuente de informaci&oacute;n que proviene directamente del per&iacute;odo b&iacute;blico en s&iacute; mismo ... una imagen completa de la vida diaria de este per&iacute;odo ... que es la &uacute;nica ... evidencia que tenemos del per&iacute;odo b&iacute;blico, excepto la Biblia misma ... Ahora podemos imaginar el tama&ntilde;o y el tipo de asentamientos en los que viv&iacute;a la gente, qu&eacute; tipo de plan urbano hab&iacute;a, qu&eacute; tipo de recipientes usaban en la vida cotidiana, qu&eacute; tipo de enemigos ten&iacute;an y qu&eacute; tipo de armas usaban contra estos enemigos: todo lo relacionado con el aspecto material de la vida en el per&iacute;odo del Antiguo Testamento puede describirse mediante hallazgos arqueol&oacute;gicos de este per&iacute;odo en particular&rdquo;. Todos estos detalles arqueol&oacute;gicos nos ayudan en nuestra reconstrucci&oacute;n de este contexto original de la Biblia para que la verdad teol&oacute;gica que contiene no sea malinterpretada ni aplicada err&oacute;neamente. Las excavaciones monumentales en Egipto, Mesopotamia e Israel han revelado gran parte de la forma y sustancia de estos imperios enterrados. Basado en pinturas de tumbas egipcias y relieves en sus templos, sabemos c&oacute;mo podr&iacute;an haber sido los patriarcas b&iacute;blicos, as&iacute; como muchos de los ej&eacute;rcitos extranjeros que atacaron Egipto y el antiguo Israel a lo largo de su historia. Incluso tenemos en algunos casos \"instant&aacute;neas\" de piedra de personalidades b&iacute;blicas reales. Desde los altos acantilados de Behistun tenemos el retrato del monarca persa Dar&iacute;o el Grande, de un obelisco asirio, una imagen del rey de Judea, Jeh&uacute;, y de Israel, una imagen pintada de un rey Ezequ&iacute;as entronizado. Tales curiosidades arqueol&oacute;gicas han hecho posible las recreaciones maravillosamente precisas de estas civilizaciones antiguas en documentales de televisi&oacute;n y pel&iacute;culas.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Complementando al Testigo de la Biblia\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Los 66 libros de la Biblia fueron escritos en al menos cinco continentes durante m&aacute;s de 4.000 a&ntilde;os de historia por profetas, poetas y campesinos, as&iacute; como por pastores y estadistas. Si bien es un testigo vasto y diverso, las Escrituras solo mencionan a ciertas personas y registran eventos espec&iacute;ficos que fueron necesarios para su prop&oacute;sito teol&oacute;gico m&aacute;s amplio. Como consecuencia, gran parte del significado se excluye deliberadamente de que se puedan incluir verdades de mayor importancia. Sin embargo, tales eliminaciones necesarias hacen que algunos cuestionen la precisi&oacute;n hist&oacute;rica de los autores b&iacute;blicos. La arqueolog&iacute;a a trav&eacute;s de su revelaci&oacute;n del contexto y la cultura de las tierras y civilizaciones en las que se promulg&oacute; el drama b&iacute;blico, agrega un testigo complementario a medida que completa el bosquejo dibujado por los autores b&iacute;blicos verificando que los detalles que presentan son fieles a los hechos. Por ejemplo, aunque el rey israelita Omri que construy&oacute; Samaria y la convirti&oacute; en la capital del Reino del Norte, fue uno de los gobernantes m&aacute;s importantes de su tiempo (885-874 a. C.), el texto b&iacute;blico solo le da una referencia pasajera (1). Reyes 16: 21-28). Esto fue muy probablemente porque fue uno de los reyes israelitas m&aacute;s malvados y sus orgullosos logros no merecieron reconocimiento. La arqueolog&iacute;a complementa el aviso b&iacute;blico del rey Omri al proporcionar los antecedentes hist&oacute;ricos de sus haza&ntilde;as extrab&iacute;blicas de los registros recuperados de sus enemigos extranjeros. Revela que los autores b&iacute;blicos son correctos en su evaluaci&oacute;n de su car&aacute;cter y mando. Este testimonio complementario ha sido especialmente &uacute;til para comprender el tiempo de Jes&uacute;s y la correcci&oacute;n y el contexto de su comentario y amplios di&aacute;logos con las diversas sectas religiosas jud&iacute;as. El problema para los int&eacute;rpretes hasta los &uacute;ltimos tiempos era que, si bien los grupos como los fariseos y los saduceos eran bien conocidos por los Evangelios, no se sab&iacute;a que ning&uacute;n testigo contempor&aacute;neo hubiera sido preservado. Sin embargo, cuando se descubrieron y estudiaron los Rollos del Mar Muerto, se descubri&oacute; que estaban llenos de numerosas descripciones y relatos de estas sectas jud&iacute;as, con quienes la Comunidad que escondi&oacute; los rollos tambi&eacute;n tuvo controversia. Los estudiantes de los Evangelios ahora tienen la ventaja de leer comentarios complementarios sobre estos grupos desde antes del nacimiento de Cristo, pero empleando las declaraciones fuertes similares que recuerdan a Jes&uacute;s. Desde este punto de vista, la arqueolog&iacute;a tambi&eacute;n nos ha dado innumerables textos complementarios, como relatos de la Creaci&oacute;n y el Diluvio, que son paralelos a las historias de las Escrituras, lo que demuestra la confiabilidad de la Biblia. Estos no solo revelan el car&aacute;cter hist&oacute;rico de la Biblia, sino que enfatizan su singularidad en comparaci&oacute;n con otros documentos antiguos del Cercano Oriente. En este sentido, los descubrimientos de la literatura religiosa de los sumerios, egipcios, hititas, asirios, babilonios y cananeos han resaltado la originalidad y el car&aacute;cter teol&oacute;gico distintivo de la Biblia.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Arqueolog&iacute;a y Pascua\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cuando llegamos al mensaje de Pascua que cambia la vida, con su relato de la crucifixi&oacute;n y resurrecci&oacute;n de Jes&uacute;s, la arqueolog&iacute;a nuevamente confirma que a pesar de que los milagros est&aacute;n involucrados, se est&aacute;n representando en el &aacute;mbito de la historia real. Esto es importante para los cristianos por dos razones. Primero, nuestras historias de la temporada, predicadas con pasi&oacute;n en los servicios de Pascua y realizadas con boato en las producciones de Pascua, pueden connotar un aire de irrealidad. Como con cualquier verdad que se haya convertido en tradici&oacute;n, podemos perder el sentido de su entorno original en este mundo y sentir que pertenece a otro. Tal p&eacute;rdida de conexi&oacute;n con el contexto del cristianismo en el mundo real, y especialmente de los hechos definitorios de nuestra fe, pone en peligro nuestra pr&aacute;ctica del verdadero significado de la temporada, es decir, nuestra salvaci&oacute;n personal provista en la cruz y de la vida de resurrecci&oacute;n y la esperanza futura. de nuestra propia resurrecci&oacute;n corporal. La arqueolog&iacute;a transforma nuestras concepciones de franela de Jes&uacute;s en lino prensado caminando sobre alfombra de hierba y lo reemplaza con una figura real de un mundo real que exige una fe real. Como la arqueolog&iacute;a informa correctamente nuestra comprensi&oacute;n de los eventos de la Pascua, no disminuye el milagro del mensaje sino que aumenta nuestra fe en su cumplimiento hist&oacute;rico.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Una segunda preocupaci&oacute;n por la importancia de la arqueolog&iacute;a para la Pascua es la primera y se relaciona con el problema del concepto posmoderno actual del cristianismo como una experiencia que trasciende la historia. Esto es bien expresado por Marcus Borg, profesor de la Universidad Estatal de Oreg&oacute;n y presidente del Seminario de Jes&uacute;s: \"La verdad de la Pascua no depende de si realmente hubo una tumba vac&iacute;a ... Es porque Jes&uacute;s es conocido como una realidad viva que tomamos Pascua\" historias en serio, no al rev&eacute;s. Y tomarlos en serio no necesariamente significa tomarlos literalmente&rdquo;. Sin embargo, las excavaciones arqueol&oacute;gicas (ver recuadros) han dado suficiente evidencia de que hay todas las razones para tomar las historias de Pascua en serio y literalmente.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Tocando la tumba de Jes&uacute;s\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Los eventos m&aacute;s serios de la historia de Pascua se centran en el entierro y resurrecci&oacute;n de Jes&uacute;s. La arqueolog&iacute;a ha revelado muchas tumbas de Judea del primer siglo que corresponden en tipo a la descripci&oacute;n de los Evangelios de la tumba de Jes&uacute;s. Sin embargo, &iquest;es posible identificar la tumba real en Jerusal&eacute;n registrada en estas cuentas? Los turistas cristianos prefieren el sitio protestante conocido como \"la Tumba del Jard&iacute;n\" descubierto en 1883 por el oficial brit&aacute;nico Charles Gordon. Aqu&iacute;, en un entorno sereno fuera de los muros actuales de Jerusal&eacute;n, se encuentra una tumba erosionada situada junto a una colina de piedra caliza profundamente erosionada que Gordon identific&oacute; como \"Skull Hill\" (ahora conocido como \"Calvario de Gordon\"). Sin embargo, el examen arqueol&oacute;gico del sitio por los arque&oacute;logos de Jerusal&eacute;n Gabriel Barkay y Amos Kloner ha demostrado que la Tumba del Jard&iacute;n es parte de un sistema de tumbas tipo Edad de Hierro II en el &aacute;rea, todas que datan del per&iacute;odo del Primer Templo (siglos VIII-VII a. C.). La m&aacute;s prominente de estas tumbas se encuentra al lado de la Tumba del Jard&iacute;n en la propiedad de la Escuela Francesa de Arqueolog&iacute;a, la &Eacute;cole Biblique. Dado que el Nuevo Testamento dice que Jes&uacute;s fue enterrado en \"una nueva tumba, en la que a&uacute;n no se hab&iacute;a puesto a nadie\" (Juan 19:41), la Tumba del Jard&iacute;n, que ya lleva unos 800 a&ntilde;os en el tiempo de Jes&uacute;s, no puede cumplir con el Evangelio expl&iacute;cito criterios\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sin embargo, el sitio tradicional de la Iglesia del Santo Sepulcro, que tiene una historia que se remonta al menos al siglo IV d. C., seg&uacute;n su descripci&oacute;n en fuentes bizantinas y la existencia de columnas que todav&iacute;a se usan hoy en d&iacute;a desde la iglesia de Constantino el Grande, tiene un importante apoyo arqueol&oacute;gico. Aunque hoy se encuentra dentro de los muros actuales de la Ciudad Vieja, y los Evangelios especifican que Jes&uacute;s fue crucificado \"fuera de los muros\" (Juan 19:20; Hebreos 13: 11-12), los muros modernos no siguen el curso antiguo. Esto se demostr&oacute; a fines de la d&eacute;cada de 1960 cuando la arque&oacute;loga brit&aacute;nica Kathleen Kenyon descubri&oacute; que el muro que ahora rodeaba la Iglesia del Santo Sepulcro era un \"Segundo Muro\" construido despu&eacute;s de la &eacute;poca de Jes&uacute;s (alrededor del a&ntilde;o 41 d. C.). Por lo tanto, cuando Jes&uacute;s fue crucificado, el sitio habr&iacute;a estado fuera del \"Primer Muro\" anterior.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Adem&aacute;s, en 1976 el arque&oacute;logo israel&iacute; Magen Broshi descubri&oacute; una porci&oacute;n del muro original de Herodes en la secci&oacute;n noreste de la iglesia. Esto revel&oacute; que el &aacute;rea sobre la cual se construy&oacute; la iglesia estaba justo afuera del muro occidental de la ciudad en la l&iacute;nea del Primer Muro. Adem&aacute;s, otros arque&oacute;logos han descubierto que hab&iacute;a una \"Puerta del Jard&iacute;n\" en este muro, un hecho que concuerda con la menci&oacute;n del Evangelio de un jard&iacute;n en esta &aacute;rea. El examen de las tumbas en las cercan&iacute;as de la Iglesia del Santo Sepulcro confirma que son del per&iacute;odo tard&iacute;o del Segundo Templo (siglo I d. C.), el mismo tiempo en que Jes&uacute;s habr&iacute;a vivido. El tipo de tumba tambi&eacute;n coincide con el tipo preciso de tumba en la que Jes&uacute;s fue puesto. En el primer siglo se usaban dos tipos de tumbas. Una era la tumba kokim m&aacute;s com&uacute;n que empleaba nichos largos y estrechos cortados en la c&aacute;mara de las paredes de la cueva de entierro en &aacute;ngulo recto. La otra tumba conocida como el arcosolio ten&iacute;a bancos poco profundos cortados paralelos a la pared de la c&aacute;mara con una parte superior en forma de arco sobre el receso. Este tipo de tumbas estaban reservadas para aquellos de riqueza y alto rango. Este parece ser el tipo de tumba en la que Jes&uacute;s fue puesto porque se dijo que la tumba de Jes&uacute;s era la tumba de un hombre rico (Mateo 27:57; cf. Isa&iacute;as 53: 9), los disc&iacute;pulos pod&iacute;an ver el cuerpo tal como estaba ( algo solo es posible con una tumba cortada en un banco), Juan 20: 5, 11, y los &aacute;ngeles fueron vistos sentados tanto en su cabeza como en sus pies (Juan 20:12). La \"Tumba de Jes&uacute;s\" en el sitio tradicional, aunque deformada por siglos de devotos peregrinos, est&aacute; claramente compuesta por una antec&aacute;mara y un arcosolio tallado en la roca.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>La Iglesia del Santo Sepulcro tambi&eacute;n encierra una porci&oacute;n de una colina que se cree que es el verdadero sitio del Calvario. Las excavaciones para exponer m&aacute;s de esta roca han revelado que era una porci&oacute;n rechazada de una cantera de piedra blanca pre-ex&iacute;lica, como lo demuestra la cer&aacute;mica de la Edad de Hierro II en el sitio. En este sentido, si este es el sitio real, se ha sugerido que la cita de Pedro del Salmo 118: 22: \"La piedra que los constructores rechazaron ...\" puede tener un doble significado (ver Hechos 4:11; 1 Pedro 2: 7). Para el siglo I a. C. Esta cantera rechazada hab&iacute;a hecho la transici&oacute;n de un basurero a un sitio de entierro. Tambi&eacute;n da evidencia de que estaba ubicado cerca de una v&iacute;a p&uacute;blica en la &eacute;poca de Jes&uacute;s, otro factor que ayuda a calificarlo como el sitio aut&eacute;ntico ya que los Evangelios registran que aquellos que pasaron por el lugar donde estaba la cruz de Jes&uacute;s pudieron burlarse de &Eacute;l (ver Mateo 27:39). La naturaleza del sitio de la roca se ajusta tanto a los requisitos jud&iacute;os como a los romanos como un sitio de ejecuci&oacute;n y puede ser debido a su asociaci&oacute;n con un lugar de muerte que en tiempos de Jes&uacute;s fue llamado el \"lugar del cr&aacute;neo.\" Esta roca sobre la cual se construy&oacute; la Iglesia todav&iacute;a se puede ver en parte hoy en d&iacute;a a trav&eacute;s de una secci&oacute;n preservada para ver que muestra evidencia de actividad s&iacute;smica, un hecho que concuerda con la historia del Evangelio (Mateo 27:51).\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Las excavaciones realizadas a fines de la d&eacute;cada de 1970 en el sitio revelaron m&aacute;s evidencia de que este era el lugar donde se realiz&oacute; el drama original de Pascua. En las secciones inferiores de la Iglesia se descubrieron los cimientos del \"Foro\" del emperador romano Adriano, en el que su Templo de Afrodita se hab&iacute;a erigido alrededor del a&ntilde;o A.D.135. Adriano sigui&oacute; la costumbre romana en la construcci&oacute;n de templos y santuarios paganos para reemplazar las estructuras religiosas anteriores. Esto se hizo en el sitio del Templo Jud&iacute;o, ubicado no lejos de la Iglesia del Santo Sepulcro, y el historiador de la iglesia del siglo IV y Obispo de Ces&aacute;rea Eusebio confirma que tambi&eacute;n se hizo en este caso: \"Adriano construy&oacute; una enorme plataforma rectangular sobre este cantera, ocultando la cueva sagrada debajo de este mont&iacute;culo masivo. \"Si la Iglesia del Santo Sepulcro es el sitio real venerado por los cristianos como la tumba de Jes&uacute;s, explicar&iacute;a esta ubicaci&oacute;n para el edificio romano.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Pensamientos finales\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cuando los disc&iacute;pulos llegaron por primera vez a la tumba esa primera ma&ntilde;ana de Pascua, los Evangelios registran: \"el cuerpo de Jes&uacute;s que no encontraron\". De la misma manera, a trav&eacute;s de los siglos, los esc&eacute;pticos y cr&iacute;ticos tambi&eacute;n han llegado, ya sea literal o figurativamente, y el veredicto de la historia se ha mantenido igual que en la antig&uuml;edad: \"Su cuerpo no lo encontraron\". En el an&aacute;lisis final, la arqueolog&iacute;a puede llevarnos a la tumba, pero solo la fe, informada por los hechos, puede llevarnos a Cristo. Sin embargo, debido a que la arqueolog&iacute;a nos ha demostrado que los hechos que respaldan la fe son precisos, una tumba identificable que atestigua eventos literales, nuestra fe en el Cristo de la historia depende de una tumba hist&oacute;ricamente vac&iacute;a para su realidad. La arqueolog&iacute;a ha revelado las personas (Caif&aacute;s, Pilatos) y los eventos (crucifixi&oacute;n, sepultura) que componen la historia de la Pascua. La resurrecci&oacute;n se entrelaza con estos hechos para ordenar la misma consideraci&oacute;n. Y cuando se considera junto con los hechos hist&oacute;ricos, sociales y psicol&oacute;gicos del primer siglo que rodean la afirmaci&oacute;n de que Cristo surgi&oacute;, &iexcl;las piedras a&uacute;n gritan con respecto a Aquel que fue y es y ha de venir!\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Barra lateral # 1: Caif&aacute;s - Sin huesos de contenci&oacute;n\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Una de las figuras prominentes en la historia de Pascua es el sumo sacerdote jud&iacute;o Caif&aacute;s. Del 18 al 36 d. C. fue el l&iacute;der del Sandhedrin, el supremo abogado jud&iacute;o responsable de los asuntos legales en los d&iacute;as de Jes&uacute;s. Fue Caif&aacute;s quien profetiz&oacute; que Jes&uacute;s morir&iacute;a por la naci&oacute;n y puso en marcha el plan para matarlo (Juan 11: 49-53; 18:14). Y fue Caif&aacute;s quien presidi&oacute; el juicio nocturno en el que Jes&uacute;s se confes&oacute; ser el Mes&iacute;as y posteriormente fue condenado (Mateo 26: 57-68). Tambi&eacute;n fue en el patio de la casa de Caif&aacute;s donde Peter esper&oacute; noticias sobre Jes&uacute;s, pero en lugar de eso lo traicion&oacute; tres veces mientras el gallo cantaba (Mateo 26: 69-75). Hoy, gracias a la arqueolog&iacute;a, casi 2.000 despu&eacute;s de su muerte, Caiaphus ha reaparecido en Jerusal&eacute;n. Sus restos f&iacute;sicos fueron descubiertos accidentalmente en noviembre de 1990 por trabajadores de la construcci&oacute;n que estaban comenzando la construcci&oacute;n de un nuevo parque en el Bosque de la Paz de Jerusal&eacute;n, al sur del Monte del Templo. Mientras el equipo de trabajo estaba cavando, el suelo se derrumb&oacute; de repente dejando al descubierto una c&aacute;mara funeraria del primer siglo con 12 osarios de piedra caliza (cajas funerarias). Un osario exquisitamente adornado, decorado con rosetas incisas, obviamente pertenec&iacute;a a un patr&oacute;n rico o de alto rango que pod&iacute;a permitirse esa caja. En este cuadro, sin embargo, tambi&eacute;n hab&iacute;a una inscripci&oacute;n. Se lee en dos lugares: Qafa y Yehosef bar Qayafa (\"Caif&aacute;s\", \"Jos&eacute;, hijo de Caif&aacute;s\"). El Nuevo Testamento se refiere a &eacute;l solo como Caif&aacute;s, pero el historiador jud&iacute;o del primer siglo Flavio Josefo da su nombre completo como \"Jos&eacute;, llamado Caif&aacute;s del sumo sacerdocio\". Dentro estaban los huesos de seis personas diferentes, incluidas las de un hombre de 60 a&ntilde;os. En el momento del descubrimiento, Steven Feldman, editor asociado de la Revisi&oacute;n de Arqueolog&iacute;a B&iacute;blica, observ&oacute;: \"el hallazgo deber&iacute;a ser particularmente emocionante para algunos cristianos creyentes porque para ellos puede reforzar la precisi&oacute;n de la Biblia ...\" De hecho, lo hace.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Barra lateral # 2: Poncio Pilato: evidencia que exige un veredicto\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Durante la Pasi&oacute;n de la Pascua, tal vez ninguna persona sea m&aacute;s memorable que la atribulada figura de Poncio Pilato que pronunci&oacute; las palabras inmortales \"&iquest;Qu&eacute; es la verdad?\" Durante diez a&ntilde;os, entre el 26 y el 36 d. C., Pilato fue el oficial romano a cargo de Judea y, por lo tanto, estaba destinado a confrontar a Jes&uacute;s de Nazaret. Ese d&iacute;a lleg&oacute; cuando el Sumo Sacerdote Caif&aacute;s entreg&oacute; a Jes&uacute;s a la autoridad romana para juicio oficial y castigo. Pilato tiene la distinci&oacute;n de ser la &uacute;nica persona durante las pruebas de Jes&uacute;s con la que eligi&oacute; hablar. Se neg&oacute; a responder al rey de Judea, Herodes Antipas, y solo bajo juramento lo hizo por Caif&aacute;s. Solo a Pilato se le dio la muy buscada explicaci&oacute;n de las afirmaciones mesi&aacute;nicas de Jes&uacute;s, a saber, que era un Rey enviado de m&aacute;s all&aacute; de este mundo para traer la verdad al mundo (Juan 18: 36-37). Basado en su interrogatorio de Jes&uacute;s, Pilato encontr&oacute; evidencia insuficiente para un veredicto, y aparentemente habr&iacute;a liberado a Jes&uacute;s si no hubiera sido por la presi&oacute;n pol&iacute;tica ejercida por el Sandhedrin jud&iacute;o (Juan 19: 12-15). Quiz&aacute;s fue por esta raz&oacute;n que Pilato, desafiando la protesta del Sandhedrin, coloc&oacute; una pancarta (conocida como titulus) en exhibici&oacute;n p&uacute;blica sobre Jes&uacute;s en la cruz que dec&iacute;a en hebreo, lat&iacute;n y griego: \"Jes&uacute;s el Nazareno, el Rey de los jud&iacute;os \"(Juan 19: 19-22). Hoy, Pilato ha hablado nuevamente para traer evidencia a nuestra &eacute;poca que exige un veredicto hist&oacute;rico al relato del Evangelio. Desde la residencia oficial de Pilato en la ciudad costera mediterr&aacute;nea de Cesarea Mar&iacute;tima, en excavaciones en el teatro romano de Cesarea, apareci&oacute; una placa de piedra con el nombre de Pilato. La losa de dos pies por tres pies, ahora conocida como la inscripci&oacute;n de Pilato, se encontr&oacute; reutilizada como un bloque de construcci&oacute;n en un proyecto de remodelaci&oacute;n del siglo IV, pero era un aut&eacute;ntico monumento del primer siglo, aparentemente escrito para conmemorar la erecci&oacute;n y el montaje de Pilato. Dedicaci&oacute;n de un templo para el culto de Tiberio C&eacute;sar, el emperador romano durante el mandato de Pilato sobre Judea. La inscripci&oacute;n en lat&iacute;n de cuatro l&iacute;neas da su t&iacute;tulo de \"Poncio Pilato, Prefecto de Judea\", un t&iacute;tulo muy similar al que se usaba en los Evangelios (ver Lucas 3: 1). Esta evidencia arqueol&oacute;gica de Pilato testifica nuevamente la exactitud de los escritores del Evangelio. Su comprensi&oacute;n de dichos t&eacute;rminos oficiales indica que vivieron durante el tiempo de su uso y no uno o dos siglos despu&eacute;s, cuando dicho uso se habr&iacute;a olvidado.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Barra lateral # 3: un testigo de la crucifixi&oacute;n\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Uno de los eventos centrales de la historia de Pascua es la muerte de Jes&uacute;s por crucifixi&oacute;n romana. Cuando Jes&uacute;s y los dos delincuentes fueron crucificados, fue la tarde del festival m&aacute;s grande del juda&iacute;smo y el s&aacute;bado. Por lo tanto, los gobernantes jud&iacute;os hab&iacute;an exigido una r&aacute;pida crucifixi&oacute;n para no profanar el pr&oacute;ximo d&iacute;a santo (Juan 19: 31-32). Tales detalles arqueol&oacute;gicos revelan que los escritores del Evangelio hab&iacute;an sido testigos hist&oacute;ricos de la crucifixi&oacute;n, tal como lo dijeron (Juan 19:35). Sin embargo, debido a que ninguna evidencia material de ninguna v&iacute;ctima crucificada hab&iacute;a sido descubierta en la tierra sagrada, los esc&eacute;pticos y eruditos descartaron los relatos de los Evangelios como imaginarios o inexactos. Argumentaron que las u&ntilde;as no podr&iacute;an haber sido utilizadas para sujetar a una v&iacute;ctima crucificada a una cruz, porque la anatom&iacute;a de las manos y los pies no pod&iacute;an soportarla. Estaban bastante atados por cuerdas. Esto contrajo directamente el propio testimonio de Jes&uacute;s cuando, despu&eacute;s de su resurrecci&oacute;n, mostr&oacute; su cuerpo crucificado a sus disc&iacute;pulos y dijo: \"Mira mis manos y mis pies ...\" (Lucas 24:39). De la misma manera, estos mismos cr&iacute;ticos sostuvieron que el cuerpo de Jes&uacute;s, como el cuerpo de la mayor&iacute;a de los criminales e insurreccionistas, no habr&iacute;a recibido un entierro adecuado, sino que habr&iacute;a sido arrojado a una tumba com&uacute;n reservada para los cad&aacute;veres de aquellos contaminados por la crucifixi&oacute;n. . Por lo tanto, la narraci&oacute;n sobre el entierro de Jes&uacute;s en la tumba de Jos&eacute; de Arimatea (Lucas 23: 51-56), de la cual resucit&oacute;, no era m&aacute;s que una historia ficticia. Sin embargo, la arqueolog&iacute;a ha producido un testimonio de lo contrario. En 1968, los restos de un hombre crucificado de Giv'at ha-Mivtar, un suburbio al norte de Jerusal&eacute;n, fueron descubiertos en un osario cerca de la &eacute;poca de Jes&uacute;s. El nombre del hombre, de una inscripci&oacute;n aramea en el osario, era Yohanan ben Ha'galgol, y de un an&aacute;lisis de sus restos esquel&eacute;ticos ten&iacute;a unos treinta a&ntilde;os, aproximadamente la misma edad que Jes&uacute;s en el momento de su crucifixi&oacute;n. Su hueso del tobillo todav&iacute;a estaba perforado con un clavo de crucifixi&oacute;n de 7 pulgadas de largo y unido a un pedazo de madera de una cruz. Aparentemente, el clavo hab&iacute;a golpeado un nudo en el patibulum de madera de olivo (la secci&oacute;n vertical de una cruz) y estaba tan alojado que la v&iacute;ctima no pod&iacute;a ser removida sin retener tanto el clavo como un fragmento de la cruz. Adem&aacute;s, seg&uacute;n un analista antropol&oacute;gico, hab&iacute;a marcas de u&ntilde;as tambi&eacute;n en los huesos de la mu&ntilde;eca y de una tabla que se hab&iacute;a utilizado para sostener los pies. Este hallazgo revela de nuevo los horrores del castigo romano como se registra en los Evangelios. Indican que la posici&oacute;n que el cuerpo asumi&oacute; en la cruz fue con las piernas clavadas a cada lado de la estaca vertical. Por lo tanto, en lugar de que el cuerpo fuera recto, se empuj&oacute; hacia arriba y se retorci&oacute;, causando espasmos musculares terriblemente dolorosos y, finalmente, la muerte por el insoportable proceso de asfixia. El descubrimiento refuta la teor&iacute;a de que las v&iacute;ctimas crucificadas simplemente estaban atadas a la cruz. El hecho de que los huesos de Yohanan se encontraran en un entierro secundario dentro de una tumba tambi&eacute;n refuta la segunda hip&oacute;tesis, ya que esta v&iacute;ctima crucificada, como Jes&uacute;s, hab&iacute;a recibido un entierro jud&iacute;o adecuado.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>","\n\nArchéologie et la Bible","\u003Cp>À l’aube de la semaine de Pâques, Jésus descendit à dos d’ânesse du mont des Oliviers vers les grandes murailles de pierre de la ville de Jérusalem. Ce voyage avait été prédit bien des siècles auparavant par le prophète Zacharie, qui avait annoncé au peuple juif que leur Messie viendrait à eux de cette manière humble (Zacharie 9:9). Tandis que des foules de Juifs agitant des palmes se réjouissaient de son « entrée triomphale », les autorités religieuses exigeaient qu’il fasse taire ces nouveaux disciples. Mais Jésus répondit : « Je vous le dis, si eux se taisent, les pierres crieront ! » (Luc 19:40). Les paroles de Jésus faisaient peut-être allusion aux énormes blocs de pierre qui l’entouraient à chaque pas dans la Ville sainte. Aujourd’hui, bien que des disciples multipliés par millions se réjouissent encore à son sujet, les pierres ont également ajouté leur voix. En effet, les pierres mêmes dont Jésus parlait ont été déterrées au pied du mont du Temple à Jérusalem. Accomplissant la propre prophétie de Jésus qu’elles s’effondreraient (Luc 19:43-44), elles crient encore à notre époque que le triomphe de ce premier Pâques se poursuit. Ces pierres font partie du témoignage historique de l’archéologie, une science qui est venue au service de l’Écriture à une époque où d’autres sciences cherchaient à la subvertir.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nous vivons une époque passionnante ! De nouvelles découvertes sont mises au jour dans le monde entier, souvent plus vite que nos journaux ne peuvent les rapporter. Elles ouvrent une nouvelle fenêtre sur le monde antique qui nous permet d’examiner les récits de la Bible avec une précision jamais atteinte auparavant. La première génération de judéo-chrétiens à qui les Évangiles furent transmis avait sans doute une expérience directe de l’histoire et des lieux qu’ils décrivent. Jusqu’à l’avènement de l’archéologie, les chrétiens devaient reconstruire le monde de la Bible et le drame des événements de Pâques du mieux qu’ils pouvaient. Les chefs-d’œuvre d’art religieux des siècles précédents représentaient la crucifixion, la mise au tombeau et la résurrection du Christ avec le seul point de référence qu’ils possédaient : leur propre monde. Même lorsqu’ils incluaient des modèles orientaux, le résultat ressemblait encore davantage à des Turcs du XVIIe siècle portant le turban qu’à des Juifs et des Romains du premier siècle. Sans déprécier le drame, et certainement avec les meilleures intentions envers l’histoire, ces scènes présentaient néanmoins une image irréaliste, davantage empreinte de foi que de faits. Aujourd’hui, l’archéologie a restauré une grande partie du monde du premier siècle, nous permettant de vivre la réalité de Pâques d’une manière inaccessible aux siècles précédents de chrétiens.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; À la fin du XVIIIe siècle, personne n’aurait pu imaginer les merveilles que l’archéologie allait révéler. Le monde du passé était lui-même un rêve, oublié hormis le défilé de noms et de lieux anciens de la Bible. Cependant, la Bible demeurait le seul témoignage survivant d’elle-même. Le lecteur était béni par ses vérités, mais souvent laissé perplexe par les sites et les sujets qu’elle consignait. L’archéologie a réclamé l’héritage perdu de l’humanité, chassant les araignées du temps dont les toiles de ruines nous avaient caché notre passé. Elle a ressuscité la gloire fanée d’époques oubliées afin que les générations futures puissent aborder leur foi avec plus de faits que quiconque dans l’histoire. Dans de nombreux cas, elle a également dissipé les vues sceptiques de la Bible introduites dans notre culture chrétienne par l’invasion de la critique biblique supérieure il y a plus d’un siècle. On ne peut plus considérer la Bible comme le produit tardif d’éditeurs hébreux fantaisistes cherchant à créer une histoire religieuse pour une race sans origines. Au contraire, comme l’a déclaré il y a plusieurs décennies le professeur William Foxwell Albright, le célèbre doyen de l’archéologie biblique américaine : « Découverte après découverte a établi l’exactitude d’innombrables détails et a accru la reconnaissance de la valeur de la Bible en tant que source historique. » Par conséquent, l’archéologie a revêtu une importance particulière pour ceux qui cherchent à saisir le contexte original de l’Écriture. À cet égard, Joseph Callaway a un jour observé : « Le véritable rôle de l’archéologie est d’établir des repères factuels dans le monde de la Bible pour guider les interprètes. »\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les objectifs de l’archéologie\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; L’archéologie a révélé les villes, les palais, les temples, les maisons de ceux qui vivaient côte à côte avec ceux dont les noms sont inscrits dans l’Écriture. Elle nous rend possible ce que l’apôtre Jean a jadis exprimé pour authentifier son message : « Ce qui était dès le commencement, ce que nous avons entendu, ce que nous avons vu de nos yeux, ce que nous avons contemplé et que nos mains ont touché, concernant la Parole de vie » (1 Jean 1:1). Les choses tangibles aident la foi à grandir vers Dieu. L’archéologie fait émerger les choses tangibles de l’histoire afin que la foi puisse disposer d’un contexte raisonnable dans lequel se développer. Elle maintient également la foi en équilibre avec les faits, confirmant la réalité des personnes et des événements de la Bible afin que sceptiques et saints puissent clairement percevoir son message spirituel dans un contexte historique. Beaucoup de gens supposent à tort que le but de l’archéologie est de « prouver » la Bible. Cependant, puisque la Bible se décrit elle-même comme la « Parole de Dieu », elle ne peut être prouvée ni réfutée par l’archéologie, pas plus que Dieu Lui-même n’est soumis aux preuves limitées de ce monde. L’usage approprié de l’archéologie en relation avec la Bible est de confirmer, corriger, clarifier et compléter son message théologique.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Confirmer la Parole de la Bible\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Selon le dictionnaire anglais Webster, l’un des sens du mot « confirm » est « donner une nouvelle assurance de la validité » de quelque chose. L’archéologie nous apporte une nouvelle assurance tirée des pierres pour accompagner celle que nous possédons déjà par l’Esprit. Par exemple, il y a un peu plus de 100 ans, les savants critiques supérieurs doutaient de l’existence des Hittites, un peuple mentionné 47 fois dans l’Ancien Testament et parmi lequel figuraient Ephron le Hittite, qui vendit à Abraham sa grotte funéraire (Genèse 23:10-20), et Urie le Hittite, le mari de Bethsabée, mère de Salomon (2 Samuel 11). Puis, en 1876, les ruines de l’empire hittite furent découvertes à Boghaz-Koy, avec plus de 10 000 tablettes d’argile relatant leur histoire. L’archéologie a apporté la même confirmation des sites historiques de Ninive, Babylone et d’innombrables villes disparues en Israël et en Jordanie. De telles confirmations se produisent constamment avec les nouvelles fouilles archéologiques. Jusqu’à récemment, il n’existait aucune preuve matérielle dans le registre archéologique pour confirmer le récit biblique de l’existence du roi biblique David. Cela a changé en 1993-1994 lorsque le professeur Avraham Biran a mis au jour une inscription monumentale dans la ville israélite septentrionale de Dan. L’inscription, rédigée par l’un des anciens ennemis d’Israël (si bien qu’aucun Israélite ne peut être accusé de l’avoir fabriquée), mentionnait le nom de l’un des rois de Juda « de la maison de David ». Ces mots révélateurs donnent une nouvelle assurance concernant le guerrier et psalmiste le plus célèbre de l’Écriture, car s’il y avait une « maison de David », il fallait bien qu’il y ait eu un David pour fonder cette maison ! De même, il y a seulement quelques années, une confirmation saisissante de l’un des prophètes bibliques a été découverte. La Bible nous apprend que le prophète Jérémie, qui s’opposa à un empire impie dans les derniers jours de l’histoire de Juda, avait un associé nommé Baruch qui lui servait de scribe. Le livre biblique de Jérémie, autrefois brûlé par un roi rebelle, fut personnellement écrit de la main de ce Baruch. Lors de fouilles dans l’ancienne Cité de David, plus de 50 sceaux d’argile furent découverts, préservés par le feu qui avait détruit la ville selon la prophétie de Jérémie. L’un des sceaux de ce site, autrefois utilisé pour sceller un ancien document en papyrus, portait le nom du scribe de Jérémie, Baruch. Plus étonnant encore, dans le coin supérieur gauche du sceau se trouve l’empreinte du propre doigt de Baruch, imprimée dans l’argile molle le jour où sa lettre fut scellée et durcie par le feu au point de la protéger contre le temps. Voici donc la véritable empreinte digitale d’un homme qui écrivit l’un des livres de la Bible et servit aux côtés de l’une des grandes figures prophétiques d’Israël.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Correction de notre formulation de la Bible\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; L’une des premières étapes pour comprendre les Écritures consiste à discerner le texte tel qu’il a été rédigé à l’origine par ses auteurs. Bien qu’il soit peu probable que les archéologues découvrent un jour l’un des autographes (textes originaux de la Bible), les copies anciennes qui nous sont parvenues ont été préservées et transmises de telle manière que nous pouvons avoir confiance que nous tenons entre nos mains la véritable « Parole de Dieu ». Des sables d’Égypte aux grottes de Qumran, l’archéologie a mis au jour des centaines de copies de livres de l’Ancien Testament et des milliers de copies de livres du Nouveau Testament. Dans la première catégorie figurent des centaines d’inscriptions hébraïques et araméennes qui contiennent un vocabulaire familier à l’Ancien Testament. Notre plus ancienne copie d’un texte biblique provient d’une inscription découverte seulement en 1979 par l’archéologue israélien Gabriel Barcay dans une tombe de la vallée de Hinnom à Jérusalem. Parmi les plus de 1 000 objets extraits de la tombe se trouvaient plusieurs minuscules rouleaux d’argent datant d’avant l’exil judéen de 586 av. J.-C. L’un d’eux contenait le texte complet de la bénédiction aaronique dans Nombres 6:24-26. Ce texte a montré aux savants à quel point nos versions ultérieures de la Bible ont préservé cette importante bénédiction biblique et a également contraint à une réévaluation de l’ancienne théorie critique supérieure selon laquelle la rédaction de la plupart du Pentateuque n’aurait eu lieu qu’après le retour des Judéens de l’exil. L’une des plus grandes découvertes manuscrites de tous les temps a été celle des fabuleux Manuscrits de la mer Morte. Cette collection de 1 100 documents comprend 233 copies entières ou fragmentaires de chaque livre de l’Ancien Testament (sauf le livre d’Esther), la plupart écrites au moins cent ans avant la naissance du Christ. Pourtant, plus grandes encore que notre découverte de ces documents de l’Ancien Testament sont celles du Nouveau Testament. Quelque 14 000 copies entières ou partielles sont désormais disponibles pour les savants. À cela s’ajoutent les découvertes sensationnelles de manuscrits anciens à Nag Hammadi, qui contiennent des évangiles et des textes gnostiques, ainsi que des milliers de textes nouvellement retrouvés, longtemps perdus dans le monastère de Sainte-Catherine au pied du mont Sinaï traditionnel. Ces manuscrits anciens fournissent la base pour restaurer la forme précise, la grammaire et la syntaxe des mots hébreux, araméens et grecs de la Bible, ainsi que leur signification exacte à l’époque où ils furent écrits. De tels trésors littéraires archéologiques nous ont donné une collection de manuscrits bibliques bien plus importante que celle dont disposait l’Église au cours des siècles précédents et ont permis aux savants de réaliser de meilleures traductions à partir des langues anciennes, améliorant ainsi nos propres versions anglaises de la Bible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Clarifier le monde de la Bible\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Depuis que la « Parole » a été annoncée aux hommes dans ce monde, à des endroits et à des époques particuliers, le contexte historique, culturel et religieux des destinataires doit être compris. Cependant, nous, aux États-Unis, sommes à 8 000 miles et environ 4 000 ans de ces époques et lieux. Par conséquent, mieux nous parviendrons à comprendre le sens originel du message, tel qu’il a été communiqué pour la première fois dans le monde antique de la Bible, mieux nous serons en mesure d’appliquer ses vérités intemporelles à nos vies dans le monde moderne. Le professeur Amihai Mazar, directeur de l’Institut d’archéologie de l’Université hébraïque de Jérusalem, explique l’importance de cela lorsqu’il dit : « l’archéologie est notre seule source d’information provenant directement de la période biblique elle-même … un tableau complet de la vie quotidienne de cette période… qui est la seule … preuve que nous ayons de la période biblique, à l’exception de la Bible elle-même … Nous pouvons maintenant imaginer la taille et le type des établissements dans lesquels vivaient les gens, quel type de plan de ville existait, quel genre de récipients ils utilisaient dans la vie quotidienne, quel genre d’ennemis ils avaient et quel genre d’armes ils utilisaient contre ces ennemis – tout ce qui concerne l’aspect matériel de la vie pendant la période de l’Ancien Testament peut être décrit par les découvertes archéologiques de cette période particulière. » Tous ces détails archéologiques nous aident à reconstruire ce contexte originel de la Bible afin que la vérité théologique qu’il contient ne soit pas mal interprétée ni mal appliquée. Les fouilles monumentales en Égypte, en Mésopotamie et en Israël ont maintenant révélé une grande partie de la forme et de la substance de ces empires longtemps ensevelis. D’après les peintures des tombes égyptiennes et les reliefs de leurs temples, nous savons à quoi pouvaient ressembler les patriarches bibliques ainsi que de nombreuses armées étrangères qui ont attaqué l’Égypte et l’ancien Israël tout au long de son histoire. Nous possédons même, dans certains cas, des « instantanés » en pierre de personnalités bibliques réelles. Des hautes falaises de Behistun, nous avons le portrait du monarque perse Darius le Grand ; d’un obélisque assyrien, une image du roi judéen Jéhu ; et d’Israël, une image peinte d’un roi Ézéchias sur son trône. Ces détails archéologiques ont rendu possibles les reconstitutions merveilleusement précises de ces civilisations antiques dans des documentaires télévisés et des films.\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Complément au témoignage de la Bible\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Les 66 livres de la Bible ont été écrits sur au moins cinq continents au cours de 4 000 ans d’histoire par des prophètes, des poètes et des paysans, ainsi que par des bergers et des hommes d’État. Bien qu’il s’agisse d’un témoignage vaste et diversifié, les Écritures ne mentionnent certaines personnes et ne relatent que des événements spécifiques nécessaires à leur plus grand dessein théologique. Par conséquent, beaucoup de choses importantes sont délibérément exclues afin que des vérités d’une plus grande importance puissent être incluses. Cependant, ces suppressions nécessaires amènent certains à remettre en question l’exactitude historique des auteurs bibliques. L’archéologie, par la révélation du contexte et de la culture des terres et des civilisations dans lesquelles le drame biblique s’est déroulé, ajoute un témoignage complémentaire qui complète le schéma tracé par les auteurs bibliques, vérifiant que les détails qu’ils présentent sont fidèles aux faits. Par exemple, bien que le roi israélite Omri, qui a fortifié Samarie et en a fait la capitale du Royaume du Nord, ait été l’un des souverains les plus importants de son époque (885-874 av. J.-C.), le texte biblique ne lui consacre qu’une brève mention (1 Rois 16:21-28). Cela était très probablement dû au fait qu’il était l’un des rois israélites les plus méchants et que ses accomplissements orgueilleux ne méritaient pas d’être reconnus. L’archéologie complète la notice biblique du roi Omri en fournissant le contexte historique de ses exploits extra-bibliques à partir des archives retrouvées de ses ennemis étrangers. Elle révèle que les auteurs bibliques ont raison dans leur évaluation de son caractère et de son commandement. Ce témoignage complémentaire a été particulièrement utile pour comprendre l’époque de Jésus et la justesse et le contexte de ses commentaires et de ses dialogues approfondis avec les diverses sectes religieuses juives. Le problème pour les interprètes jusqu’à une époque récente était que, si des groupes tels que les pharisiens et les sadducéens étaient bien connus grâce aux Évangiles, aucun témoignage contemporain les concernant n’était connu pour avoir été conservé. Cependant, lorsque les manuscrits de la mer Morte ont été découverts et étudiés, on a constaté qu’ils contenaient de nombreuses descriptions et récits de ces sectes juives, avec lesquelles la Communauté qui avait caché les manuscrits était également en conflit. Les étudiants des Évangiles disposent désormais de l’avantage de lire un commentaire complémentaire sur ces groupes datant d’avant la naissance du Christ, tout en employant des déclarations tout aussi fortes rappelant celles de Jésus. À cet égard, l’archéologie nous a également fourni d’innombrables textes complémentaires, tels que des récits de la Création et du Déluge qui font écho aux histoires scripturaires, démontrant la fiabilité de la Bible. Ceux-ci révèlent non seulement le caractère historique de la Bible, mais soulignent également son caractère unique par rapport aux autres documents du Proche-Orient ancien. À cet égard, les découvertes des littératures religieuses des Sumériens, des Égyptiens, des Hittites, des Assyriens, des Babyloniens et des Cananéens ont toutes mis en évidence l’originalité et la singularité théologique de la Bible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Archéologie et Pâques\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Lorsque nous abordons le message transformateur de Pâques, avec son récit de la crucifixion et de la résurrection de Jésus, l’archéologie confirme à nouveau que, même si des miracles sont impliqués, ceux-ci se déroulent dans le cadre de l’histoire réelle. Cela est important pour les chrétiens à deux égards. Premièrement, nos récits de la saison, prêchés avec passion lors des offices de Pâques et mis en scène avec faste lors des productions pascales, peuvent évoquer une impression d’irréalité. Comme pour toute vérité devenue tradition, nous pouvons perdre le sentiment de son contexte originel dans ce monde et avoir l’impression qu’elle appartient à un autre. Une telle perte de lien avec le contexte réel du christianisme – et surtout avec les faits fondateurs de notre foi – met en péril notre pratique de la signification réelle de la saison, à savoir notre salut personnel accompli à la croix, la vie de résurrection et l’espérance future de notre propre résurrection corporelle. L’archéologie transforme nos conceptions de Jésus issues des images en flanelle, vêtu de lin repassé et marchant sur une pelouse en moquette, et les remplace par une figure réelle d’un monde réel qui appelle à une foi réelle. En informant correctement notre compréhension des événements de Pâques, l’archéologie ne diminue pas le miracle du message, mais accroît notre foi en son accomplissement historique.\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Une deuxième préoccupation concernant l’importance de l’archéologie pour Pâques découle de la première et se rapporte au problème de la conception postmoderne actuelle du christianisme comme une expérience transcendant l’histoire. Cela est bien exprimé par Marcus Borg, professeur à l’Oregon State University et président du Jesus Seminar : « La vérité de Pâques ne dépend pas de l’existence réelle d’un tombeau vide … C’est parce que Jésus est connu comme une réalité vivante que nous prenons les récits de Pâques au sérieux, et non l’inverse. Et les prendre au sérieux ne signifie pas nécessairement les prendre littéralement. » Cependant, les fouilles archéologiques (voir encadrés) ont fourni suffisamment de preuves pour qu’il y ait toutes les raisons de prendre les récits de Pâques au sérieux et littéralement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Toucher le tombeau de Jésus\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Les événements les plus graves du récit de Pâques sont centrés sur l’enterrement et la résurrection de Jésus. L’archéologie a révélé de nombreux tombeaux judéens du premier siècle correspondant au type décrit dans les Évangiles pour le tombeau de Jésus. Cependant, est-il possible d’identifier le tombeau réel à Jérusalem mentionné dans ces récits ? Les touristes chrétiens privilégient le plus souvent le site protestant connu sous le nom de « Jardin du Tombeau », découvert en 1883 par l’officier britannique Charles Gordon. Dans ce cadre serein, à l’extérieur des murs actuels de Jérusalem, on peut trouver un tombeau usé situé à côté d’une colline calcaire profondément érodée que Gordon a identifiée comme la « Colline du Crâne » (aujourd’hui connue sous le nom de « Calvaire de Gordon »). Cependant, l’examen archéologique du site par les archéologues de Jérusalem Gabriel Barkay et Amos Kloner a montré que le Jardin du Tombeau fait partie d’un système de tombes du type de l’Âge du Fer II dans la région, toutes datant de la période du Premier Temple (VIIIe-VIIe siècles av. J.-C.). Les plus importantes de ces tombes se trouvent juste à côté du Jardin du Tombeau, sur la propriété de l’École biblique française, l’École biblique. Comme le Nouveau Testament dit que Jésus a été enterré « dans un tombeau neuf, où personne n’avait encore été déposé » (Jean 19:41), le Jardin du Tombeau, déjà vieux de quelque 800 ans à l’époque de Jésus, ne peut pas répondre aux critères explicites des Évangiles.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Cependant, le site traditionnel de l’église du Saint-Sépulcre, dont l’histoire remonte au moins au IVe siècle apr. J.-C., sur la base de sa description dans les sources byzantines et de l’existence de colonnes encore utilisées aujourd’hui provenant de l’église de Constantin le Grand, bénéficie d’un soutien archéologique significatif. Bien qu’il soit aujourd’hui situé à l’intérieur des murs actuels de la Vieille Ville, et que les Évangiles précisent que Jésus a été crucifié « hors des murs » (Jean 19:20 ; Hébreux 13:11-12), les murs modernes ne suivent pas le tracé antique. Cela a été prouvé à la fin des années 1960 lorsque l’archéologue britannique Kathleen Kenyon a découvert que le mur qui entoure aujourd’hui l’église du Saint-Sépulcre était un « Deuxième Mur » construit après l’époque de Jésus (vers 41 apr. J.-C.). Par conséquent, lorsque Jésus a été crucifié, le site se trouvait à l’extérieur du « Premier Mur » antérieur.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; En outre, en 1976, l'archéologue israélien Magen Broshi a mis au jour une portion du mur hérodien original dans la section nord-est de l'église. Cela a révélé que la zone sur laquelle l'église est construite se trouvait juste à l'extérieur du mur ouest de la ville, sur la ligne du Premier Mur. De plus, d'autres archéologues ont découvert qu'une «&nbsp;Porte du Jardin&nbsp;» se trouvait sur ce mur, un fait qui concorde avec la mention d'un jardin dans cette zone par l'Évangile. L'examen des tombes dans les environs de l'Église du Saint-Sépulcre confirme qu'elles datent de la fin de la période du Second Temple (premier siècle apr. J.-C.), à l'époque même où Jésus aurait vécu. Le type de tombe correspond également précisément à celui dans lequel Jésus a été déposé. Au premier siècle, deux types de tombes étaient en usage. L'un était la tombe kokim plus courante, qui utilisait des niches longues et étroites taillées dans les parois de la chambre funéraire à angle droit. L'autre, connue sous le nom de tombe arcosolia, comportait des bancs peu profonds taillés parallèlement au mur de la chambre, avec un sommet en forme d'arche au-dessus de l'alcôve. Ces types de tombes étaient réservés aux personnes de richesse et de haut rang. Il semble que ce soit le type de tombe dans lequel Jésus a été déposé, car la tombe de Jésus était décrite comme celle d'un homme riche (Matthieu 27:57 ; cf. Isaïe 53:9), le corps pouvait être vu par les disciples étendu (ce qui n'était possible qu'avec une tombe à banc taillé), Jean 20:5, 11, et les anges étaient vus assis à la fois à sa tête et à ses pieds (Jean 20:12). La «&nbsp;Tombe de Jésus&nbsp;» sur le site traditionnel, bien que déformée par des siècles de pèlerins dévoués, est clairement composée d'une antichambre et d'un arcosolium taillé dans la roche.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; L'Église du Saint-Sépulcre renferme également une portion d'une colline considérée comme le véritable site du Calvaire. Les fouilles pour exposer davantage de ce rocher ont révélé qu'il s'agissait d'une portion rejetée d'une carrière de pierre blanche préexilique, comme en témoigne la poterie de l'Âge du Fer II sur le site. À la lumière de cela, si c'est le site réel, il a été suggéré que la citation par Pierre du Psaume 118:22 : «&nbsp;La pierre qu'ont rejetée ceux qui bâtissaient…&nbsp;» pouvait avoir un double sens (voir Actes 4:11 ; 1 Pierre 2:7). Au premier siècle av. J.-C., cette carrière rejetée était passée d'un dépôt d'ordures à un site funéraire. Elle donne également des preuves qu'elle était située près d'une route publique à l'époque de Jésus, un autre facteur qui aide à la qualifier de site authentique puisque les Évangiles rapportent que ceux qui passaient par l'endroit où la croix de Jésus était située pouvaient se moquer de Lui (voir Matthieu 27:39). La nature du site rocheux correspond aux exigences juives et romaines en tant que site d'exécution et c'est peut-être en raison de son association avec un lieu de mort qu'il était appelé à l'époque de Jésus le «&nbsp;lieu du crâne&nbsp;». Ce rocher sur lequel l'Église a été construite peut encore être vu en partie aujourd'hui à travers une section préservée pour la visite qui porte des traces d'activité sismique, un fait qui concorde avec le récit évangélique (Matthieu 27:51).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Les fouilles menées à la fin des années 1970 sur le site ont révélé d'autres preuves que c'était l'endroit où le drame original de Pâques s'était déroulé. Dans les sections inférieures de l'Église ont été découvertes les fondations du «&nbsp;Forum&nbsp;» de l'empereur romain Hadrien, dans lequel son Temple d'Aphrodite avait été érigé vers 135 apr. J.-C. Hadrien suivait la coutume romaine en construisant des temples et des sanctuaires païens pour supplanter les structures religieuses antérieures. Cela a été fait sur le site du Temple juif, situé non loin de l'Église du Saint-Sépulcre, et l'historien de l'Église du quatrième siècle et évêque de Césarée Eusèbe confirme que cela a également été fait dans ce cas : «&nbsp;Hadrien construisit une immense plateforme rectangulaire sur cette carrière, dissimulant la sainte grotte sous ce monticule massif.&nbsp;» Si l'Église du Saint-Sépulcre est le site réel vénéré par les chrétiens comme le tombeau de Jésus, cela expliquerait cet emplacement pour le bâtiment romain.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Considérations finales\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Lorsque les disciples sont arrivés pour la première fois au tombeau ce premier matin de Pâques, les Évangiles rapportent : «&nbsp;ils ne trouvèrent pas le corps de Jésus.&nbsp;» De la même manière, au fil des âges, les sceptiques et les critiques sont également venus, que ce soit littéralement ou figurativement, et le verdict de l'histoire est resté le même qu'aux temps anciens - «&nbsp;Son corps, ils ne le trouvèrent pas.&nbsp;» En analyse finale, l'archéologie peut nous amener au tombeau, mais seule la foi - éclairée par les faits - peut nous amener au Christ. Pourtant, parce que l'archéologie nous a montré que les faits qui soutiennent la foi sont exacts - un tombeau identifiable attestant d'événements littéraux - notre foi dans le Christ de l'histoire dépend bien d'un tombeau historiquement vide pour sa réalité. L'archéologie a révélé les personnes (Caïphe, Pilate) et les événements (crucifixion, mise au tombeau) qui composent l'histoire de Pâques. La résurrection est entrelacée avec ces faits de manière à exiger la même considération. Et lorsqu'elle est considérée avec les faits historiques, sociaux et psychologiques du premier siècle qui entourent la revendication que le Christ est ressuscité, les pierres crient encore à propos de Celui qui était, qui est et qui vient !\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Encadré n°1 : Caïphe - Aucun os de discorde\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; L'une des figures marquantes du récit de Pâques est le grand prêtre juif Caïphe. De 18 à 36 apr. J.-C., il a servi comme chef du Sanhédrin, le conseil suprême juif chargé des affaires judiciaires à l'époque de Jésus. C'est Caïphe qui a prophétisé que Jésus mourrait pour la nation et a mis en place le plan pour le tuer (Jean 11:49-53; 18:14). Et c'est Caïphe qui a présidé le procès de fin de nuit au cours duquel Jésus s'est déclaré être le Messie et a ensuite été condamné (Matthieu 26:57-68). C'est également dans la cour de la maison de Caïphe que Pierre a attendu des nouvelles de Jésus, mais l'a plutôt renié trois fois au chant du coq (Matthieu 26:69-75). Aujourd'hui, grâce à l'archéologie, presque 2 000 ans après sa mort, Caïphe a fait une réapparition à Jérusalem. Ses restes physiques ont été découverts accidentellement en novembre 1990 par des ouvriers du bâtiment qui commençaient la construction d'un nouveau parc dans la Forêt de la Paix de Jérusalem, juste au sud du Mont du Temple. Alors que l'équipe de travail creusait, le sol s'est soudain effondré, exposant une chambre funéraire du premier siècle avec 12 ossuaires en calcaire (boîtes funéraires). Un ossuaire magnifiquement orné, décoré de rosettes incisées, appartenait évidemment à un mécène riche ou de haut rang qui pouvait se permettre une telle boîte. Sur cette boîte, cependant, figurait également une inscription. Elle se lisait à deux endroits : Qafa et Yehosef bar Qayafa (« Caïphe », « Joseph, fils de Caïphe »). Le Nouveau Testament ne le désigne que sous le nom de Caïphe, mais l'historien juif du premier siècle Flavius Josèphe donne son nom complet comme « Joseph qui était appelé Caïphe du grand sacerdoce ». À l'intérieur se trouvaient les ossements de six personnes différentes, y compris ceux d'un homme de 60 ans. Au moment de la découverte, Steven Feldman, rédacteur associé de la Biblical Archaeology Review, a observé : « la découverte devrait être particulièrement excitante pour certains chrétiens croyants parce que pour eux elle peut renforcer l'exactitude de la Bible … » En effet, c'est le cas.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Encadré n°2 : Ponce Pilate - Preuve qui exige un verdict\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Pendant la Passion de Pâques, peut-être aucune personne n'est plus mémorable que la figure troublée de Ponce Pilate qui a prononcé les mots immortels « Qu'est-ce que la vérité ? » Pendant dix ans, de 26 à 36 apr. J.-C., Pilate a été l'officier romain chargé de la Judée et donc destiné à affronter Jésus de Nazareth. Ce jour est arrivé lorsque le grand prêtre Caïphe a livré Jésus à l'autorité romaine pour un procès et une punition officiels. Pilate a le privilège d'être la seule personne pendant les procès de Jésus avec laquelle Il a choisi de parler. Il a refusé de répondre au roi judéen Hérode Antipas et ne l'a fait que sous serment pour Caïphe. Pilate seul a reçu l'explication tant recherchée des revendications messianiques de Jésus, à savoir qu'Il était un Roi envoyé d'au-delà de ce monde pour apporter la vérité au monde (Jean 18:36-37). Sur la base de son interrogatoire de Jésus, Pilate a trouvé des preuves insuffisantes pour un verdict, et aurait apparemment libéré Jésus n'eût été la pression politique exercée par le Sanhédrin juif (Jean 19:12-15). C'est peut-être pour cette raison que Pilate, défiant la protestation du Sanhédrin, a placé une plaque (connue sous le nom de titulus) en exposition publique au-dessus de Jésus sur la croix qui portait en hébreu, latin et grec : « Jésus le Nazaréen, le Roi des Juifs » (Jean 19:19-22). Aujourd'hui, Pilate a parlé à nouveau pour apporter des preuves à notre époque qui exigent un verdict historique sur le récit de l'Évangile. De la résidence officielle de Pilate dans la ville côtière méditerranéenne de Césarée Maritime lors de fouilles au théâtre romain de Césarée est venue une plaque de pierre portant le nom de Pilate. La dalle de deux pieds sur trois pieds, maintenant connue sous le nom d'Inscription de Pilate, a été trouvée réutilisée comme bloc de construction dans un projet de rénovation du quatrième siècle, mais c'était un monument authentique du premier siècle, apparemment écrit pour commémorer l'érection et la dédicace par Pilate d'un Tibérium, un temple pour le culte de Tibère César, l'empereur romain pendant le mandat de Pilate sur la Judée. L'inscription latine de quatre lignes donne son titre comme « Ponce Pilate, Préfet de Judée », un titre très similaire à celui utilisé pour lui dans les Évangiles (voir Luc 3:1). Cette preuve archéologique de Pilate témoigne à nouveau de l'exactitude des écrivains de l'Évangile. Leur compréhension de tels termes officiels indique qu'ils vivaient à l'époque de leur utilisation et non un siècle ou deux plus tard lorsque cet usage aurait été oublié.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Encadré n°3 : Un témoin de la crucifixion\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; L’un des événements centraux du récit de Pâques est la mort de Jésus par crucifixion romaine. Lorsque Jésus et les deux criminels furent crucifiés, c’était à la fois l’après-midi de la plus grande fête du judaïsme et le sabbat. C’est pourquoi les autorités juives avaient exigé une crucifixion rapide afin de ne pas profaner le jour saint qui approchait (Jean 19:31-32). De tels détails archéologiques révèlent que les évangélistes avaient été des témoins oculaires historiques de la crucifixion, comme ils l’ont affirmé (Jean 19:35). Néanmoins, parce qu’aucune preuve matérielle d’une victime crucifiée n’avait jamais été découverte en Terre sainte, les sceptiques et les savants ont rejeté les récits des Évangiles comme étant imaginés ou inexacts. Ils soutenaient que des clous n’auraient pas pu être utilisés pour fixer une victime crucifiée à une croix, car l’anatomie des mains et des pieds ne pouvait pas les supporter. Elles étaient plutôt attachées par des cordes. Cela contredisait directement le propre témoignage de Jésus lorsqu’après sa résurrection il montra son corps crucifié à ses disciples et dit : « Voyez mes mains et mes pieds… » (Luc 24:39). De même, ces mêmes critiques soutenaient que le corps de Jésus, comme celui de la plupart des criminels et des insurgés, n’aurait pas reçu une sépulture décente, mais aurait plutôt été jeté dans une fosse commune réservée aux cadavres souillés par la crucifixion. Par conséquent, le récit concernant l’ensevelissement de Jésus dans le tombeau de Joseph d’Arimathée (Luc 23:51-56), d’où il ressuscita, n’était rien d’autre qu’un conte fictif. Cependant, l’archéologie a depuis produit un témoignage contraire. En 1968, les restes d’un homme crucifié à Giv’at ha-Mivtar, une banlieue nord de Jérusalem, furent découverts dans un ossuaire datant de l’époque de Jésus. Le nom de l’homme, d’après une inscription araméenne sur l’ossuaire, était Yohanan ben Ha’galgol, et d’après l’analyse de ses restes squelettiques, il avait une trentaine d’années, environ le même âge que Jésus au moment de sa crucifixion. Son os de cheville était encore percé d’un clou de crucifixion de 7 pouces de long et fixé à un morceau de bois provenant d’une croix. Apparemment, le clou avait heurté un nœud dans le patibulum en bois d’olivier (la partie verticale d’une croix) et s’était tellement coincé que la victime ne pouvait pas être retirée sans conserver à la fois le clou et un fragment de la croix. De plus, selon un analyste anthropologique, il y avait également des marques de clous sur les os des poignets et une planche avait été utilisée pour soutenir les pieds. Cette découverte révèle à nouveau les horreurs du châtiment romain tel qu’il est consigné dans les Évangiles. Elle indique que la position que le corps adoptait sur la croix était avec les jambes clouées de chaque côté du poteau vertical. Par conséquent, plutôt que le corps d’être droit, il était poussé vers le haut et tordu, provoquant des spasmes musculaires terriblement douloureux et finalement la mort par le processus atroce de l’asphyxie. La découverte réfute la théorie selon laquelle les victimes crucifiées étaient simplement attachées à la croix. Le fait que les os de Yohanan aient été retrouvés dans une sépulture secondaire à l’intérieur d’un tombeau réfute également la seconde hypothèse, car cette victime crucifiée, comme Jésus, avait reçu une sépulture juive décente.\u003C\u002Fp>","\n\n아르카나와 성경","\u003Cp>부활절 주간이 시작될 때 예수님은 감람산에서 예루살렘 성의 거대한 돌로 쌓은 성벽을 향해 나귀를 타고 내려오셨습니다. 그날의 여정은 오래전에 선지자 스가랴가 유대 백성에게 메시아가 이처럼 겸손한 방식으로 오실 것을 기대하라고 예언한 바 있습니다(스가랴 9:9). 종려나무 가지를 흔들며 환호하는 유대인 무리가 그분의 “승리의 입성”을 기뻐하는 동안, 종교 지도자들은 이 새로 생긴 제자들을 잠재우라고 요구했습니다. 그러나 예수님께서는 “내가 너희에게 말하노니, 만일 이 사람들이 잠잠하면 돌들이 소리 지르리라!”(누가복음 19:40)라고 대답하셨습니다. 예수님의 말씀은 성스러운 도시의 모든 모퉁이에서 그분을 둘러싸고 있던 거대한 돌 블록들을 암시했을 것입니다. 오늘날 제자들이 수백만 명으로 늘어나 여전히 그분을 기뻐하고 있지만, 돌들도 그들의 목소리를 더하고 있습니다. 사실, 예수님께서 말씀하신 바로 그 돌들이 오늘날 예루살렘 성전산 기슭에서 발굴되었습니다. 그 돌들이 무너지리라는 예수님 자신의 예언(누가복음 19:43-44)을 성취하며, 그들은 여전히 우리 시대에 그 첫 부활절의 승리가 계속되고 있음을 외치고 있습니다. 이러한 돌들은 성경에 봉사하는 과학인 고고학의 역사적 증언의 일부이며, 다른 과학들이 성경을 전복하려고 했던 시기에 고고학이 성경을 도왔습니다.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 우리는 흥미로운 시대에 살고 있습니다! 새로운 발견들이 전 세계에서 종종 신문이 보도할 수 있는 속도보다 빠르게 발굴되고 있습니다. 그것들은 성경의 이야기를 이전에 알려진 적 없는 정확도로 볼 수 있게 하는 고대 세계에 대한 새로운 창을 열어줍니다. 복음서를 물려받은 유대-그리스도인 1세대는 그들이 묘사하는 역사와 장소에 대해 이러한 직접적인 경험을 분명히 가졌을 것입니다. 고고학이 등장하기 전까지, 그리스도인들은 성경의 세계와 부활절 사건의 드라마를 최선을 다해 재구성할 수밖에 없었습니다. 이전 세기의 종교 예술 걸작들은 그들이 가진 유일한 참조점인 그들 자신의 세계로 그리스도의 십자가 처형, 매장, 부활을 묘사했습니다. 동양적 모델을 포함했다 하더라도, 그 모습은 여전히 1세기 유대인과 로마인이라기보다는 17세기 터번을 쓴 터키인에 더 가까웠습니다. 드라마를 손상시키지 않으면서도 역사에 대한 선의의 의도를 가지고 있었지만, 그러한 장면들은 사실이라기보다는 믿음에 더 가까운 비현실적인 이미지를 묘사했습니다. 오늘날 고고학은 1세기 세계의 많은 부분을 복원하여, 이전 세기의 그리스도인들에게는 불가능했던 방식으로 부활절의 현실을 경험할 수 있게 해주었습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 18세기 후반에는 고고학이 어떤 경이로움을 드러낼지 아무도 꿈꿀 수 없었습니다. 과거의 세계는 그 자체로 꿈이었으며, 성경의 고대 이름과 장소의 행렬을 제외하고는 잊혀져 있었습니다. 그러나 성경은 그 자체에 대한 유일한 생존하는 증언으로 남아 있었습니다. 독자는 그 진리로 축복받았지만, 종종 그것이 기록한 장소와 주제에 대해 당황했습니다. 고고학은 인류의 잃어버린 유산을 되찾아, 우리의 과거를 숨겨온 파멸의 거미줄을 쫓아냈습니다. 그것은 잊혀진 시대의 퇴색된 영광을 부활시켜 미래 세대가 역사상 어떤 세대보다 더 많은 사실로 그들의 믿음에 접근할 수 있게 했습니다. 많은 경우, 그것은 또한 한 세기 전 성경 고등비평의 침입으로 기독교 문화에 도입된 성경에 대한 회의적 견해를 쫓아냈습니다. 더 이상 성경이 기원이 없는 종족을 위한 종교 역사를 창조하려는 공상적인 히브리 편집자들의 후기 산물이라고 생각할 수 없습니다. 오히려, 미국 성경 고고학의 저명한 학장인 윌리엄 폭스웰 올브라이트 교수가 수십 년 전에 선언한 바와 같이: “발견에 이은 발견이 수많은 세부 사항의 정확성을 확립했으며, 역사적 자료로서 성경의 가치에 대한 인식을 높여왔습니다.” 그 결과, 고고학은 성경의 원래 맥락을 포착하려는 사람들에게 특별한 중요성을 갖게 되었습니다. 이와 관련하여, 조셉 캘러웨이는 다음과 같이 관찰했습니다: “고고학의 진정한 업무는 성경 세계에서 사실적 기준점을 확립하여 해석자들을 안내하는 것입니다.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>고고학의 목적\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 고고학은 성경에 이름이 새겨진 사람들과 어깨를 나란히 살았던 사람들의 도시, 궁전, 성전, 집을 드러냈습니다. 그것은 사도 요한이 그의 메시지의 진정성을 확증하기 위해 한때 외쳤던 것을 우리에게 가능하게 합니다: “태초부터 있는 생명의 말씀에 관하여는 우리가 들은 바요 눈으로 본 바요 자세히 보고 우리의 손으로 만진 바라”(요한일서 1:1). 유형의 것들은 믿음이 하나님을 향해 성장하는 데 도움을 줍니다. 고고학은 믿음이 발전할 수 있는 합리적인 맥락을 가질 수 있도록 역사의 유형의 것들을 가져옵니다. 그것은 또한 믿음을 사실과 균형 있게 유지하여, 회의론자와 성도 모두가 역사적 맥락 안에서 그 영적 메시지를 명확히 인식할 수 있도록 성경의 사람들과 사건의 현실을 확인합니다. 많은 사람들이 고고학의 목적이 성경을 “증명”하는 것이라고 잘못 생각합니다. 그러나 성경은 스스로를 “하나님의 말씀”으로 묘사하므로, 이 세상의 제한된 증거에 하나님 자신이 종속되는 것 이상으로 고고학에 의해 증명되거나 반증될 수 없습니다. 성경과 관련하여 고고학의 적절한 사용은 그 신학적 메시지를 확인하고, 수정하고, 명확히 하고, 보완하는 것입니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>성경 말씀의 확인\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 웹스터 영어 사전에 따르면 “confirm”이라는 단어의 의미 중 하나는 어떤 것의 “유효성에 대해 새로운 확신을 주는 것”입니다. 고고학은 우리가 이미 성령으로부터 얻은 확신에 더하여, 돌을 통해 새로운 확신을 제공합니다. 예를 들어, 100여 년 전만 해도 고등비평학자들은 구약성경에 47번이나 언급되는 히타이트 족속의 존재를 의심했습니다. 그들 중에는 아브라함에게 매장 동굴을 판 에브론 히타이트(창세기 23:10-20)와 솔로몬의 어머니 밧세바의 남편인 우리아 히타이트(사무엘하 11)가 포함됩니다. 그러나 1876년 보가즈쾨이에서 히타이트 제국의 유적이 발견되었고, 그들의 역사를 기록한 10,000개 이상의 점토판이 출토되었습니다. 고고학은 니네베, 바빌론, 그리고 이스라엘과 요르단의 수많은 잃어버린 도시들의 역사적 장소에 대해서도 동일한 확증을 제공해 왔습니다. 이러한 확증은 새로운 고고학 발굴이 진행됨에 따라 지속적으로 이루어지고 있습니다. 최근까지도 성경에 나오는 다윗 왕의 존재를 뒷받침하는 물질적 증거는 고고학 기록에 없었습니다. 그러나 1993~1994년에 아브라함 비란 교수가 이스라엘 북부 도시 단에서 기념비적인 비문을 발굴하면서 상황이 바뀌었습니다. 이 비문은 이스라엘의 고대 적국이 기록한 것으로(따라서 이스라엘인이 조작했다고 비난할 수 없습니다), 유다 왕 중 한 명을 “다윗의 집”으로 기록하고 있습니다. 이 단어들은 성경에서 가장 유명한 전사이자 시편 저자인 다윗에게 새로운 확신을 줍니다. 왜냐하면 “다윗의 집”이 존재했다면, 그 집을 세운 다윗이 분명히 존재했어야 하기 때문입니다. 이와 유사하게, 몇 년 전 성경의 한 선지자에 대한 놀라운 확증이 발견되었습니다. 성경은 유다 역사 말기에 사악한 제국에 맞섰던 예레미야 선지자에게 바룩이라는 서기관이 있었다고 전합니다. 반역한 왕에 의해 한때 불태워진 예레미야서는 바로 이 바룩의 손으로 기록되었습니다. 다윗 성 유적지에서 50개 이상의 점토 인장이 발견되었는데, 이는 예레미야의 예언대로 도시를 파괴한 불에 의해 보존된 것이었습니다. 이 유적지에서 나온 인장 중 하나는 고대 파피루스 문서를 봉인하는 데 사용되었으며, 예레미야의 서기관 바룩의 이름이 새겨져 있었습니다. 더 놀라운 것은 인장의 왼쪽 상단 모서리에 바룩 자신의 지문이 남아 있다는 점입니다. 이는 그의 편지가 봉인된 날 부드러운 점토에 찍힌 것으로, 불에 구워져 단단해지면서 시간의 흐름 속에서도 보호된 것입니다. 여기에는 성경의 한 책을 기록하고 이스라엘의 위대한 예언자 곁에서 섬겼던 한 사람의 실제 지문이 남아 있는 것입니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>성경의 표현을 바로잡음\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 성경을 이해하는 첫 단계 중 하나는 저자들이 원래 기록한 본문을 식별하는 것입니다. 고고학자들이 성경의 원본(자필 원고)을 발굴할 가능성은 거의 없지만, 우리에게 전해진 고대 사본들은 보존되고 전달되는 과정에서 우리가 손에 들고 있는 것이 바로 “하나님의 말씀”이라는 확신을 주기에 충분합니다. 이집트의 모래에서부터 쿰란 동굴에 이르기까지, 고고학은 구약성경 책의 사본 수백 점과 신약성경 책의 사본 수천 점을 발굴해 냈습니다. 첫 번째 범주에는 구약성경에 익숙한 어휘를 담고 있는 히브리어·아람어 비문 수백 점이 포함됩니다. 성경 본문의 가장 오래된 사본은 1979년 이스라엘 고고학자 가브리엘 바르카이가 예루살렘 힌놈 골짜기의 무덤에서 발견한 비문에서 나왔습니다. 무덤에서 발견된 1,000점 이상의 유물 중에는 유다 유배(기원전 586년) 이전으로 거슬러 올라가는 작은 은 두루마리 몇 점이 포함되어 있었습니다. 그중 하나에는 민수기 6:24-26의 아론의 축복문 전체가 새겨져 있었습니다. 이 본문은 후대의 성경 번역본들이 이 중요한 성경 축복문을 얼마나 잘 보존했는지를 학자들에게 보여주었으며, 오경의 대부분이 유다인들이 유배에서 돌아온 이후에야 저술되었다는 기존의 고등비평 이론을 재평가하게 만들었습니다. 역사상 가장 위대한 사본 발견 중 하나는 바로 사해 두루마리입니다. 1,100점의 문서 중에는 구약성경의 모든 책(에스더서를 제외한)에 대한 233점의 완전본 또는 단편 사본이 포함되어 있으며, 대부분이 그리스도 탄생보다 적어도 100년 전에 기록된 것입니다. 그러나 구약 문서의 발견보다 더 위대한 것은 신약성경에 대한 발견입니다. 현재 학자들이 이용할 수 있는 완전본 또는 부분 사본은 약 14,000점에 이릅니다. 여기에 나그함마디에서 발견된 영지주의 복음서와 문헌들, 그리고 전통적인 시나이 산 기슭에 있는 성 카타리나 수도원에서 새로 발견된 수천 점의 고문헌을 더할 수 있습니다. 이 고대 사본들은 히브리어·아람어·그리스어 단어의 정확한 형태, 문법, 구문을 복원하는 데 기초가 되며, 기록된 당시의 정확한 의미를 파악하는 데 도움을 줍니다. 이러한 고고학적 문헌 보물들은 이전 세대의 교회가 소유했던 것보다 훨씬 더 방대한 성경 사본 컬렉션을 제공했으며, 학자들이 고대 언어에서 더 나은 번역을 할 수 있게 하여, 우리가 사용하는 영어 성경 번역본의 품질을 향상시켰습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>성경의 세계를 명확히 함\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; “말씀”이 이 세상에 특정한 장소와 시기에 사람들에게 선포된 이후로, 그 대상이 된 사람들의 역사적·문화적·종교적 배경을 이해해야 합니다. 그러나 미국에 사는 우리는 그러한 시대와 장소로부터 약 8,000마일과 4,000년이나 떨어져 있습니다. 따라서 성경이 고대 세계에서 처음 전달된 메시지의 본래 의미를 더 잘 이해할수록, 그 영원한 진리를 현대 세계의 삶에 더 잘 적용할 수 있게 됩니다. 예루살렘 히브리대학교 고고학연구소 소장인 아미하이 마자르 교수는 이 점의 중요성을 다음과 같이 설명합니다. “고고학은 성경 시대 자체에서 직접 얻을 수 있는 유일한 정보원이다 … 이 시대의 일상생활에 대한 전체적인 그림… 성경 자체를 제외하고 우리가 가진 유일한 … 증거이다 … 우리는 사람들이 어떤 규모와 유형의 정착지에서 살았는지, 어떤 도시 계획이 있었는지, 일상생활에서 어떤 용기를 사용했는지, 어떤 적을 가졌는지, 그 적들에 맞서 어떤 무기를 사용했는지 — 구약 시대의 물질적 삶과 관련된 모든 것을 이 시기의 고고학적 발견으로 설명할 수 있다.” 이 모든 고고학적 세부사항은 우리가 성경의 본래 배경을 재구성하는 데 도움을 주며, 그 안에 담긴 신학적 진리가 잘못 해석되거나 잘못 적용되지 않도록 합니다. 이집트, 메소포타미아, 이스라엘에서 이루어진 대규모 발굴은 오랫동안 묻혀 있던 이 제국들의 형태와 실체를 상당 부분 밝혀냈습니다. 이집트 무덤의 벽화와 신전의 부조를 바탕으로 우리는 성경의 족장들이 어떤 모습이었는지, 그리고 이집트와 고대 이스라엘을 역사를 통해 공격했던 여러 외국 군대가 어떤 모습이었는지도 알 수 있게 되었습니다. 심지어 실제 성경 인물들의 석조 “스냅샷”도 일부 남아 있습니다. 베히스툰 절벽에서는 페르시아 군주 다리우스 대왕의 초상을, 아시리아 오벨리스크에서는 유다 왕 예후의 모습을, 그리고 이스라엘에서는 왕좌에 앉은 히스기야 왕의 채색된 이미지를 발견했습니다. 이러한 고고학적 사소한 사실들은 텔레비전 다큐멘터리와 영화에서 이 고대 문명들을 놀랍도록 정확하게 재현하는 데 기여했습니다.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>성경의 증언을 보완하다\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 성경의 66권은 적어도 다섯 대륙에서 4,000년의 역사에 걸쳐 예언자, 시인, 농부뿐 아니라 목자와 정치가에 의해 기록되었습니다. 방대하고 다양한 증언이지만, 성경은 그들의 더 큰 신학적 목적에 필요한 특정 인물과 사건들만을 언급합니다. 그 결과, 더 중요한 진리를 포함하기 위해 상당 부분이 의도적으로 배제되었습니다. 그러나 이러한 필연적인 삭제 때문에 일부 사람들은 성경 저자들의 역사적 정확성을 의심하기도 합니다. 고고학은 성경의 드라마가 펼쳐진 땅과 문명의 배경과 문화를 밝힘으로써, 성경 저자들이 제시한 세부 사항이 사실에 충실했음을 확인하는 보완적 증언을 제공합니다. 예를 들어, 사마리아를 건설하고 북왕국의 수도로 만든 이스라엘 왕 오므리는 당대 가장 중요한 통치자 중 한 명이었지만(기원전 885~874년), 성경 본문에서는 단지 간단히 언급될 뿐입니다(열왕기상 16:21-28). 이는 그가 이스라엘 왕들 중 가장 사악한 인물 중 하나였고, 그의 교만한 업적들이 인정받을 만한 가치가 없었기 때문일 가능성이 큽니다. 고고학은 오므리 왕에 대한 성경의 간략한 언급을 보완하여, 그의 외국 적들의 기록에서 발견된 그의 성경 외 업적에 대한 역사적 배경을 제공합니다. 이는 성경 저자들이 그의 성품과 통치력을 정확히 평가했음을 보여줍니다. 이 보완적 증언은 특히 예수 시대를 이해하고, 유대 종교 분파들과의 대화와 그분의 논평의 정확성과 배경을 파악하는 데 유용했습니다. 최근까지 해석자들의 문제는 복음서에는 바리새인과 사두개인 같은 집단이 잘 알려져 있었지만, 그들에 대한 동시대의 증언이 보존되어 있다는 사실을 알지 못했다는 점이었습니다. 그러나 사해 두루마리가 발견되고 연구되면서, 두루마리가 숨겨진 공동체와 논쟁을 벌였던 이 유대 분파들에 대한 수많은 설명과 기록이 포함되어 있음이 밝혀졌습니다. 복음서를 연구하는 학생들은 이제 그리스도 탄생 이전의 보완적 주석을 읽을 수 있게 되었으며, 예수와 유사한 강한 표현을 사용하고 있음을 알게 되었습니다. 이와 같은 맥락에서 고고학은 창조와 홍수에 관한 기록과 같은 수많은 보완적 문헌을 제공하여 성경 이야기와 병행함으로써 성경의 신뢰성을 입증해 왔습니다. 이는 성경의 역사적 성격을 드러낼 뿐만 아니라, 다른 고대 근동 문헌들과 비교할 때 성경의 독특성을 강조합니다. 이와 관련하여 수메르인, 이집트인, 히타이트인, 아시리아인, 바빌로니아인, 가나안인의 종교 문헌 발견은 모두 성경의 독창성과 신학적 특수성을 부각시켰습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>고고학과 부활절\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 부활절의 삶을 바꾸는 메시지에 이르면, 예수님의 십자가와 부활에 관한 기록과 함께, 고고학은 다시 한 번 기적이 개입되어 있음에도 불구하고 그것이 실제 역사라는 무대에서 일어났음을 확인해 줍니다. 이는 기독교인들에게 두 가지 점에서 중요합니다. 첫째, 부활절 예배에서 열정적으로 전해지고 부활절 공연에서 화려하게 재현되는 계절의 이야기들은 비현실적인 느낌을 줄 수 있습니다. 전통이 된 진리는 그 원래의 이 세상 배경에 대한 감각을 잃고, 다른 세계에 속한 것처럼 느껴질 수 있습니다. 기독교의 실재적 세계 맥락, 특히 우리 신앙의 핵심 사실들과의 연결이 끊어지면, 십자가에서 제공된 개인의 구원과 부활 생명, 그리고 우리 자신의 몸의 부활에 대한 미래의 소망이라는 계절의 실질적 의미를 실천하는 데 위험이 따릅니다. 고고학은 예수님이 다림질된 리넨 옷을 입고 카펫 잔디 위를 걸으시는 플란넬그래프식 개념을 변화시켜, 실제 세계에서 온 실제 인물로 대체하며, 이는 진정한 신앙을 요구합니다. 고고학이 부활절 사건에 대한 우리의 이해를 올바르게 알려줄 때, 그것은 메시지의 기적을 축소시키지 않고 오히려 역사적 성취에 대한 우리의 믿음을 증대시킵니다.\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;고고학이 부활절에 중요한 두 번째 이유는 첫 번째와 연관되어 있으며, 기독교를 역사와 무관한 초월적 경험으로 보는 현재의 포스트모던 개념과 관련이 있습니다. 이는 오리건 주립대학교 교수이자 예수 세미나 의장인 마커스 보그(Marcus Borg)가 잘 표현한 바 있습니다: “부활절의 진리는 실제로 빈 무덤이 있었는지에 달려 있지 않다 … 예수님이 살아 있는 실재로 알려져 있기 때문에 우리는 부활절 이야기를 진지하게 받아들이는 것이지, 그 반대가 아니다. 그리고 그것을 진지하게 받아들이는 것이 반드시 문자 그대로 받아들여야 한다는 의미는 아니다.” 그러나 고고학적 발굴(사이드바 참조)은 부활절 이야기를 진지하게, 그리고 문자 그대로 받아들일 충분한 이유가 있음을 보여주었습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>예수님의 무덤을 만지다\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 부활절 이야기에서 가장 중요한 사건들은 예수님의 매장과 부활을 중심으로 합니다. 고고학은 복음서가 묘사하는 예수님의 무덤과 유형이 일치하는 많은 1세기 유대 무덤을 밝혀냈습니다. 그러나 이 기록들에 나오는 예루살렘의 실제 무덤을 확인할 수 있을까요? 기독교 관광객들은 1883년 영국 장교 찰스 고든(Charles Gordon)이 발견한 ‘정원 무덤(Garden Tomb)’이라는 개신교 유적지를 가장 선호합니다. 현재 예루살렘 성벽 밖에 있는 평온한 장소에서, 풍화된 무덤이 깊이 침식된 석회암 언덕 옆에 자리 잡고 있으며, 고든은 이 언덕을 ‘해골 언덕(Skull Hill)’(현재 ‘고든의 갈보리’)으로 확인했습니다. 그러나 예루살렘 고고학자 가브리엘 바르카이(Gabriel Barkay)와 아모스 클로너(Amos Kloner)의 현장 조사 결과, 정원 무덤은 이 지역의 철기 시대 II 유형 무덤 체계의 일부로, 모두 제1성전 시대(기원전 8~7세기)로 거슬러 올라갑니다. 이 무덤들 중 가장 두드러진 것은 정원 무덤 바로 옆, 프랑스 고고학 학교(École Biblique) 부지에 있습니다. 신약성경은 예수님이 “아직 아무도 묻힌 적이 없는 새 무덤”(요한복음 19:41)에 묻히셨다고 말하므로, 예수님 시대에 이미 800년이나 된 정원 무덤은 복음서의 명확한 기준에 부합하지 않습니다.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 그러나 최소한 4세기까지 거슬러 올라가는 역사를 가진 전통적인 성묘교회(Church of the Holy Sepulchre) 유적지는, 비잔틴 자료의 기록과 오늘날까지 사용되는 콘스탄티누스 대제 교회의 기둥 존재에 근거하여 상당한 고고학적 지지를 받고 있습니다. 오늘날 구시가지 성벽 안에 위치해 있으며, 복음서는 예수님이 “성벽 밖에서” 십자가에 못 박히셨다고 명시하고 있지만(요한복음 19:20; 히브리서 13:11-12), 현대의 성벽은 고대 경로를 따르지 않습니다. 이는 1960년대 후반 영국 고고학자 캐슬린 케년(Kathleen Kenyon)이 현재 성묘교회를 둘러싸고 있는 성벽이 예수님 시대 이후(약 A.D. 41)에 건설된 “제2의 성벽”임을 발견하면서 입증되었습니다. 따라서 예수님이 십자가에 못 박히실 당시 이 장소는 초기 “제1의 성벽” 밖에 있었을 것입니다.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 또한 1976년 이스라엘 고고학자 마겐 브로시(Magen Broshi)는 교회의 북동쪽 구역에서 헤로데 시대 원래 성벽의 일부를 발견하였다. 이 발견으로 교회가 세워진 지역이 제1성벽 선상에 있는 도시 서쪽 성벽 바로 바깥이었음이 밝혀졌다. 또한 다른 고고학자들은 이 성벽에 “정원 문(Garden Gate)”이 있었음을 발견하였는데, 이는 복음서가 이 지역에 정원이 있었다고 언급한 내용과 일치한다. 성묘교회 주변 무덤들을 조사한 결과, 이 무덤들은 후기 제2성전 시대(서기 1세기) 것으로 확인되었으며, 이는 예수께서 살아 계셨던 바로 그 시기이다. 무덤의 유형 또한 예수께서 안치되신 무덤의 정확한 유형과 일치한다. 1세기에는 두 가지 유형의 무덤이 사용되었다. 하나는 더 흔한 코킴(kokim) 무덤으로, 매장 동굴 벽에 직각으로 길고 좁은 감실을 파서 만든 것이었다. 다른 하나는 아르코솔리움(arcosolia) 무덤으로, 동굴실 벽과 평행하게 얕은 벤치를 파고 그 위에 아치형 천장을 만든 것이었다. 이 유형의 무덤은 부유하고 지위 높은 사람들을 위해 마련된 것이었다. 예수께서 안치되신 무덤이 바로 이 유형이었던 것으로 보이는데, 그 이유는 예수님의 무덤이 부자의 무덤이라고 기록되어 있고(마태복음 27:57; 이사야 53:9 비교), 제자들이 예수님의 몸이 누워 있는 것을 볼 수 있었으며(벤치가 파인 무덤에서만 가능한 일), 요한복음 20:5, 11), 천사들이 머리와 발 양쪽에 앉아 있는 것이 보였기 때문이다(요한복음 20:12). 전통적인 장소에 있는 “예수님의 무덤”은 수 세기에 걸친 순례자들의 경배로 인해 변형되었지만, 분명히 전실(前室)과 암반을 깎아 만든 아르코솔리움으로 구성되어 있다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 성묘교회는 또한 골고다의 실제 장소로 여겨지는 언덕의 일부를 둘러싸고 있다. 이 암반을 더 많이 드러내기 위한 발굴 조사 결과, 이곳은 철기 시대 II기 토기가 발견되어 선-유배 시대 백색 석재 채석장의 버려진 부분이었음이 밝혀졌다. 이러한 점에서, 이곳이 실제 장소라면 베드로가 인용한 시편 118:22 “건축자들이 버린 돌이…”라는 구절이 이중적 의미를 가질 수 있다는 제안이 있다(사도행전 4:11;

1970년대 후반 이 장소에서 실시된 발굴 조사는 이곳이 원래 부활절 드라마가 펼쳐진 장소라는 추가 증거를 드러냈다. 교회 하층부에서는 로마 황제 하드리아누스의 “포룸(Forum)” 기초가 발견되었으며, 그 안에는 서기 135년경에 세워진 아프로디테 신전이 있었다. 하드리아누스는 이전 종교 건축물을 대체하기 위해 이교 신전과 신당을 세우는 로마의 관습을 따랐다. 이는 성묘교회에서 멀지 않은 유대 성전 터에서도 행해졌으며, 4세기 교회사학자이며 가이사랴의 주교인 유세비우스(Eusebius)는 이 경우에도 마찬가지였다고 확인한다: “하드리아누스는 이 채석장 위에 거대한 직사각형 단을 쌓아 성스러운 동굴을 이 거대한 둔덕 아래 감추었다.” 만약 성묘교회가 기독교인들이 예수님의 무덤으로 공경하는 실제 장소라면, 이 위치에 로마 건축물이 세워진 이유를 설명할 수 있을 것이다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>최종 생각\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 제자들이 그 첫 부활절 아침에 무덤에 왔을 때, 복음서는 이렇게 기록한다: “그들은 예수의 시체를 찾지 못하였다.” 마찬가지로 시대를 거치며 회의론자들과 비평가들도 문자 그대로든 비유적으로든 이 무덤에 왔지만, 역사의 판결은 고대와 마찬가지로 그대로 남아 있다 — “그의 시체를 그들이 찾지 못하였다.” 최종 분석에서 고고학은 우리를 무덤까지 데려갈 수 있지만, 오직 사실에 의해 뒷받침되는 믿음만이 우리를 그리스도께로 인도할 수 있다. 그러나 고고학은 믿음을 뒷받침하는 사실들이 정확하다는 것을 보여주었다 — 문자 그대로의 사건들을 증언하는 식별 가능한 무덤 — 우리의 역사적 그리스도에 대한 믿음은 역사적으로 빈 무덤에 대한 현실에 의존한다. 고고학은 부활절 이야기의 인물들(가야바, 빌라도)과 사건들(십자가형, 매장)을 드러내었다. 부활은 이러한 사실들과 얽혀 있어 동일한 고려를 요구한다. 그리고 1세기의 역사적·사회적·심리적 사실들과 함께 그리스도께서 부활하셨다는 주장을 둘러싼 사실들을 고려할 때, 돌들은 “이분은 계셨고 지금도 계시며 장차 오실 분”에 관하여 여전히 외치고 있다!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>사이드 바 #1: 가야바 — 논쟁의 여지가 없는 유골\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 부활절 이야기에서 두드러진 인물 중 하나는 유대인의 대제사장 가야바입니다. 그는 A.D. 18-36년까지 산헤드린의 지도자로서 예수 시대에 유대인의 법적 문제를 관할하는 최고 기구의 책임자였습니다. 가야바는 예수가 민족을 위해 죽을 것이라고 예언하고 그를 죽일 계획을 추진한 인물입니다(요한복음 11:49-53; 18:14). 또한 그는 예수가 메시아임을 고백하고 결국 정죄받은 심야 재판을 주재했습니다(마태복음 26:57-68). 베드로가 예수에 대한 소식을 기다리며 세 번이나 예수를 부인한 곳도 가야바의 집 마당이었습니다(마태복음 26:69-75). 오늘날 고고학 덕분에, 그가 죽은 지 거의 2,000년이 지난 지금, 가야바는 예루살렘에서 다시 등장했습니다. 그의 유해는 1990년 11월, 성전산 남쪽 예루살렘 평화의 숲에 새 공원을 조성하던 건설 노동자들에 의해 우연히 발견되었습니다. 작업 중 땅이 갑자기 무너지면서 1세기 무덤실과 12개의 석회석 납골단지가 드러났습니다. 그중 하나는 정교하게 장식된 화려한 납골단지로, 장미무늬가 새겨져 있었으며, 분명히 부유하거나 높은 지위의 후원자가 사용한 것이었습니다. 이 납골단지에는 두 곳에 “Qafa”와 “Yehosef bar Qayafa”(“가야바”, “가야바의 아들 요셉”)라는 명문이 새겨져 있었습니다. 신약성경에서는 그를 가야바로만 부르지만, 1세기 유대 역사가 플라비우스 요세푸스는 그의 풀네임을 “대제사장으로 불린 요셉, 즉 가야바”라고 기록했습니다. 납골단지 안에는 60세 남성을 포함한 여섯 명의 유골이 있었습니다. 발견 당시 《성경 고고학 리뷰》의 부편집장 스티븐 펠드만은 이렇게 말했습니다. “이 발견은 믿는 그리스도인들에게 특히 흥미로울 것입니다. 왜냐하면 그들에게 성경의 정확성을 뒷받침해 줄 수 있기 때문입니다…” 실제로 그렇습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Side Bar #2: 본디오 빌라도 - 평결을 요구하는 증거\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 부활절 수난 이야기에서 가장 기억에 남는 인물 중 하나는 “진리가 무엇이냐?”라는 유명한 말을 한 고민에 빠진 본디오 빌라도입니다. A.D. 26-36년까지 10년 동안 그는 유대 지방을 관할하는 로마 관리였으며, 따라서 나사렛 예수를 대면할 운명이었습니다. 그날은 대제사장 가야바가 예수를 공식 재판과 처벌을 위해 로마 당국에 넘겼을 때 찾아왔습니다. 빌라도는 예수의 재판 과정에서 예수가 직접 대화를 나눈 유일한 인물입니다. 그는 헤롯 안디바 왕에게는 대답을 거부했고, 가야바 앞에서는 맹세하에만 대답했습니다. 빌라도에게만 예수의 메시아 주장에 대한 설명, 즉 “이 세상이 아닌 곳에서 진리를 전하기 위해 보내진 왕”이라는 설명이 주어졌습니다(요한복음 18:36-37). 예수를 심문한 결과, 빌라도는 유죄 판결을 내릴 증거가 부족하다고 판단했고, 유대 산헤드린의 정치적 압력이 없었다면 예수를 석방했을 것입니다(요한복음 19:12-15). 아마도 이런 이유로 빌라도는 산헤드린의 항의에도 불구하고, 예수가 십자가에 달린 위에 히브리어, 라틴어, 헬라어로 “유대인의 왕 나사렛 예수”라고 쓴 명패(티툴루스)를 걸었습니다(요한복음 19:19-22). 오늘날 빌라도는 다시 한 번 말하여, 복음서 기록에 대한 역사적 평결을 요구하는 증거를 우리 시대에 전하고 있습니다. 지중해 연안 도시 가이사랴 마리티마에 있던 빌라도의 공식 저택에서, 가이사랴 로마 극장 발굴 중 빌라도의 이름이 새겨진 석판이 발견되었습니다. 지금은 빌라도 비문으로 알려진 이 2피트×3피트 크기의 석판은 4세기 개축 공사 때 재사용된 것이었지만, 실제로는 1세기 기념비로, 빌라도가 유대 지방을 다스리던 시절 로마 황제 티베리우스 카이사르를 숭배하는 신전(티베리움)을 세우고 봉헌한 것을 기념하기 위해 세워진 것으로 보입니다. 네 줄로 된 라틴어 비문에는 그의 직함이 “유대 총독 본디오 빌라도”로 기록되어 있으며, 이는 복음서에서 사용된 호칭과 매우 유사합니다(누가복음 3:1 참조). 빌라도에 대한 이 고고학적 증거는 다시 한 번 복음서 저자들의 정확성을 입증합니다. 그들의 공식 용어에 대한 이해는 그들이 그 용어가 사용되던 시대에 살았음을 보여주며, 한두 세기 후에 그런 용어가 잊혀졌을 때와는 다릅니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Side Bar #3: 십자가 처형의 증인\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 부활절 이야기의 핵심 사건 중 하나는 예수님이 로마의 십자가형으로 죽임을 당하신 것이다. 예수님과 두 범죄자가 십자가에 못 박혔을 때는 유대교에서 가장 큰 명절이자 안식일 오후였다. 따라서 유대 지도자들은 다가오는 거룩한 날을 더럽히지 않기 위해 빠른 십자가형을 요구했다(요한복음 19:31-32). 이러한 고고학적 세부 사항은 복음서 저자들이 십자가형의 역사적 목격자였음을 보여주며, 그들이 말한 대로임을 드러낸다(요한복음 19:35). 그럼에도 불구하고, 성지에서 십자가형을 당한 희생자의 물질적 증거가 전혀 발견되지 않았기 때문에 회의론자와 학자들은 복음서 기록을 상상하거나 부정확한 것으로 치부했다. 그들은 손과 발의 해부학적 구조가 못을 지탱할 수 없기 때문에 십자가형 희생자를 십자가에 고정하는 데 못을 사용할 수 없었고, 대신 밧줄로 묶었다고 주장했다. 이는 부활 후 제자들에게 자신의 십자가형 당한 몸을 보이시며 “내 손과 발을 보라 …”고 하신 예수님의 증언과 직접 모순된다(누가복음 24:39). 마찬가지로, 이 비판자들은 예수님의 시신이 대부분의 범죄자와 반란자들의 시신처럼 적절한 매장을 받지 못하고, 십자가형으로 더럽혀진 시신들을 위한 공동묘지에 버려졌을 것이라고 주장했다. 따라서 아리마대 요셉의 무덤에 예수님이 묻히셨다는 이야기(누가복음 23:51-56)는 단순한 허구에 불과하다는 것이다. 그러나 고고학은 그 반대의 증거를 제시했다. 1968년 예수님 시대와 가까운 시기의 오수아리에서 예루살렘 북부 교외 기밧 하미브타르 출신의 십자가형 남성 유해가 발견되었다. 오수아리에 새겨진 아람어 비문에 따르면 이 남성의 이름은 요하난 벤 하갈골(Yohanan ben Ha'galgol)이었으며, 골격 분석 결과 그는 30대였고, 이는 예수님이 십자가형을 당하실 때와 비슷한 나이였다. 그의 발목뼈에는 7인치 길이의 십자가형 못이 여전히 박혀 있었고, 십자가의 일부인 나무 조각이 붙어 있었다. 이 못은 올리브나무 파티불룸(십자가의 수직 부분)의 옹이에 박혀서 희생자를 제거할 때 못과 십자가 조각을 함께 남겨야 할 정도로 단단히 박혀 있었던 것으로 보인다. 또한, 한 인류학 분석가에 따르면 손목뼈에도 못 자국이 있었고, 발을 지지하기 위한 판자가 사용된 흔적도 있었다. 이 발견은 복음서에 기록된 로마의 형벌의 공포를 새롭게 드러낸다. 이는 시신이 십자가 위에서 다리가 수직 기둥 양쪽에 못 박힌 자세였음을 보여준다. 따라서 시신이 곧게 펴진 것이 아니라 위로 밀려 올라가 비틀린 상태였고, 이로 인해 극심한 근육 경련과 결국 숨 막히는 고통스러운 질식 과정으로 사망하게 되었다. 이 발견은 십자가형 희생자들이 단순히 밧줄로 묶였다는 이론을 반박한다. 요하난의 뼈가 무덤 내에서 2차 매장된 상태로 발견된 사실은 두 번째 가설도 반증하는데, 이 십자가형 희생자 역시 예수님처럼 적절한 유대식 매장을 받았기 때문이다.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"id":123,"title":2355,"description":2356,"featured":50,"transcript":2357,"subtitle":2358,"playerembed":2359,"category_id":2313,"slug":2360,"answertype":531,"created_at":553,"updated_at":2361,"thumbnail":2362,"embed_thumbnail":2363,"embed_icon":503,"title_es":2364,"description_es":2365,"playerembed_es":2366,"transcript_es":2367,"title_fr":2368,"description_fr":2369,"playerembed_fr":18,"transcript_fr":2370,"title_ko":2371,"description_ko":2372,"playerembed_ko":18,"transcript_ko":2373,"question_id":18,"category_slug":2315,"category_name":-1},"Does Archaeology Support the Bible?","\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit;\">Have you ever wondered what archaeological evidence exists for the Old and New Testament?

Los estudiosos de hoy que tratan los evangelios como documentos históricos creíbles lo hacen a la plena luz de este estudio analítico, no cerrando sus mentes a él.” –\u003C\u002Fi>\u003Ci>Craig Blomberg, La fiabilidad histórica de los evangelios\u003C\u002Fi>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ci>\u003C\u002Fi>\u003Cp>A la gente le encanta la serie de Indiana Jones porque es buena ficción. Sin embargo, la gente se pregunta, cuando se trata de la Biblia, si también es ficción. Indiana Jones vivió como arqueólogo y trabajó en el mundo que produjo evidencias de la historia. Ese mismo mundo produce para nosotros la verdadera historia de la Biblia porque la sitúa de nuevo en su contexto histórico preciso.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La respuesta: Todas las cosas que formaban parte del mensaje cristiano original eran, de hecho, hechos. Cuando miramos el mundo real, entendemos que tenemos cosas en él que nos explican y nos aclaran el mundo de la Biblia.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Los ejemplos de hallazgos arqueológicos bíblicos incluyen una jarra del primer siglo d. C., la época de Jesús, una jarra de la época de Josué (p. ej., el período del Bronce Tardío), ladrillos hechos por los israelitas en la tierra de Gosén, sellos de escarabajo (p. ej., los de Amenhotep II, candidato a faraón de Egipto), ladrillos de barro del Muro de Jericó y armas antiguas utilizadas por los cananeos (p. ej., espadas de hoz de bronce).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No todo lo que tenemos del registro histórico, o ciertamente de la Biblia, ha sido descubierto. Algunos dicen que la ausencia de evidencia es un problema… De hecho, la ausencia de evidencia no es evidencia de ausencia. En otras palabras, que la evidencia arqueológica de un aspecto particular de la Biblia siga sin descubrirse no significa que la evidencia no exista, o que la Biblia sea falsa. Simplemente significa que la evidencia aún no ha sido descubierta.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Evidencia de personajes bíblicos que antes se pensaba que no existían: Los hititas – Restos de su civilización fueron encontrados en Boghazkoy, incluyendo 15.000 tablillas de arcilla. El rey David – un monumento de piedra excavado en Tel Dan fue encontrado dedicado al “Rey de Israel de la Casa de David”.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Arqueología y el Antiguo Testamento:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Evidencia de la exactitud del AT: Los rollos de Qumrán – Cerca de cuevas de piedra caliza altas en un lugar llamado Qumrán han aparecido jarras [en las que] una antigua secta judía escondió copias de rollos. Cada libro del Antiguo Testamento, excepto el Libro de Ester, fue encontrado entre estos rollos. Estos rollos llevan ahora nuestro conocimiento hasta 300 años antes del nacimiento de Jesús, unos 1300 años antes de la copia más antigua de la Biblia que se tenía previamente. Ahora sabemos que estos libros de la Biblia (los más antiguos que tenemos), al compararlos con nuestros textos [modernos], son casi un 95 % exactos. El pequeño porcentaje corresponde simplemente a diferencias de ortografía. Así que sabemos que los escribas que escribieron estos libros transmitieron con mucho cuidado el texto hebreo a lo largo de las edades, de modo que quedaron casi sin error.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Evidencia de milagros del AT: El Prisma de Taylor – Prisma de arcilla inscrito con la invasión de Israel por Senaquerib. En él se indica que Jerusalén se salvó sin razón aparente. Esto da credibilidad al relato bíblico de la salvación de la ciudad tal como se registra en Reyes, Crónicas y por el profeta Isaías.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Arqueología y el Nuevo Testamento: La figura central del NT es Jesús. Aunque el registro arqueológico nos proporciona antecedentes sobre el nacimiento y la vida de Jesús, son los últimos días de Jesús los más significativos, tanto arqueológica como espiritualmente.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Evidencia arqueológica que corresponde al relato del NT de los últimos días de Jesús: (A) Copas de la cena israelita – Indiana Jones en su película \u003Ci>La última cruzada\u003C\u002Fi> fue en busca de la copa de la última cena de Jesús llamada el Santo Grial. El registro arqueológico nos ha dado ese mismo tipo de copa.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Monedas de Poncio Pilato – Los juicios de Jesús fueron tanto romanos como judíos. En el juicio romano de Jesús presidió un hombre llamado Poncio Pilato. Del registro arqueológico tenemos la misma inscripción que da el nombre “Poncio Pilato” encontrada en Cesarea. [También tenemos una] moneda acuñada por Poncio Pilato y en el reverso aparece el año romano 17, el mismo año que los historiadores creen que Jesús fue crucificado.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Restos de uña\u002Fhueso del primer siglo de una crucifixión – La propia muerte de Jesús en la cruz fue… notable. Los historiadores nos dicen que nunca han encontrado evidencia de crucifixión y, sin embargo, decenas de miles de personas fueron crucificadas. Una de las razones… es que esos restos se utilizaron una y otra vez. Pero en Jerusalén sí encontraron [evidencia de] una víctima crucificada.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El Rollo del Templo – El más largo de los Rollos del Mar Muerto. Este rollo menciona que, basándose en un pasaje de Deuteronomio, la sentencia contra un acto sedicioso, un acto de traición contra la nación, solo podía ejecutarse “colgando de un árbol”. Ahora bien, las autoridades judías creían que la pretensión de Jesús de ser el “Hijo de Dios”… era un acto que los romanos considerarían “anarquía”… y que derrocaría su nación… así que lo llevaron ante los romanos para que ejecutaran esa sentencia.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Monedas del período de Bar Kojba – De [estas] monedas… tenemos una imagen de la fachada del… templo de Herodes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Piedra del templo de Herodes – Piedras derribadas por los romanos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Restos de personas judías atrapadas en el conflicto por el templo de Herodes.\u003C\u002Fp>Bottom Line:&nbsp;Has visto el testimonio del registro arqueológico, y sabemos que ninguno de estos descubrimientos arqueológicos ha contradicho jamás un hecho bíblico.

Indiana Jones vivait en tant qu'archéologue et travaillait dans le monde qui produisait des preuves de l'histoire. Ce même monde produit pour nous la véritable histoire de la Bible parce qu'il replace la Bible dans son contexte historique précis.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La réponse : Toutes les choses qui faisaient partie du message chrétien originel étaient en fait des faits. Quand nous regardons le monde réel, nous comprenons que nous avons des choses en lui qui nous expliquent et nous clarifient le monde de la Bible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les exemples de découvertes archéologiques bibliques incluent un pot du premier siècle après J.-C., à l'époque de Jésus, un pot de l'époque de Josué (par ex. la période du Bronze récent), des briques fabriquées par les Israélites dans le pays de Goshen, des sceaux-scarabées, (par ex. ceux d'Amenhotep II, candidat pharaon d'Égypte), des briques de boue du mur de Jéricho, et des armes anciennes utilisées par les Cananéens (par ex. des épées-faucilles en bronze).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tout ce que nous avons des archives historiques, ou certainement de la Bible, n'a pas été découvert. Certains disent que l'absence de preuve est un problème. En fait, l'absence de preuve n'est pas une preuve d'absence. En d'autres termes, le simple fait que des preuves archéologiques pour un aspect particulier de la Bible restent non découvertes ne signifie pas que ces preuves n'existent pas, ou que la Bible est fausse. Cela signifie simplement que les preuves n'ont pas encore été découvertes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Preuves concernant des personnages bibliques autrefois considérés comme inexistants : Les Hittites - Des vestiges de leur civilisation ont été trouvés à Boghazkoy, incluant 15 000 tablettes d'argile. Le roi David - une stèle excavée à Tel Dan a été trouvée dédiée au « Roi d'Israël de la Maison de David ».\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>L'archéologie et l'Ancien Testament :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Preuves de l'exactitude de l'AT : Les rouleaux de Qumran - Près de grottes calcaires élevées dans un endroit appelé Qumran sont venus des pots [dans lesquels] une ancienne secte juive a caché des copies de rouleaux. Chaque livre de l'Ancien Testament, à l'exception du Livre d'Esther, a été trouvé parmi ces rouleaux. Ces rouleaux font maintenant remonter nos connaissances à 300 ans avant la naissance de Jésus, soit quelque 1300 ans avant la plus ancienne copie de la Bible connue précédemment. Nous savons maintenant que ces livres de la Bible, (les plus anciens que nous ayons) comparés à nos textes [modernes], sont presque exacts à 95 %. Le faible pourcentage correspond simplement à des différences d'orthographe. Ainsi, nous savons que les scribes qui ont écrit ces livres ont transmis très soigneusement le texte hébreu à travers les âges de sorte qu'ils étaient presque sans erreur.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Preuves des miracles de l'AT : Le prisme de Taylor - Prisme d'argile inscrit avec l'invasion d'Israël par Sennachérib. Jérusalem y est épargnée sans raison apparente. Cela donne du crédit au récit biblique du salut de la ville tel qu'il est enregistré dans les Rois, les Chroniques et par le prophète Isaïe.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>L'archéologie et le Nouveau Testament : La figure centrale du NT est Jésus.

Les archives archéologiques nous ont donné ce type même de coupe.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pièces de monnaie de Ponce Pilate - Les procès de Jésus étaient à la fois romains et juifs. Dans le procès romain de Jésus, un homme nommé Ponce Pilate a présidé ce procès. Des archives archéologiques, nous avons la très inscription qui donne le nom « Ponce Pilate » trouvée à Césarée.

Les historiens nous disent qu'ils n'ont jamais trouvé de preuve de crucifixion et pourtant il y avait des dizaines de milliers de personnes crucifiées.

Mais à Jérusalem, ils ont trouvé [des preuves pour] une victime crucifiée.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le rouleau du Temple - Le plus long des rouleaux de la mer Morte. Ce rouleau mentionne que, basé sur un passage du Deutéronome, la sentence contre un acte séditieux, un acte de trahison contre la nation, ne pouvait être exécutée que par « pendaison à un arbre ». Les autorités juives croyaient maintenant que la prétention de Jésus d'être le « Fils de Dieu » était un acte que les Romains considéreraient comme une « anarchie » et qui renverserait leur nation, alors ils l'ont amené aux Romains pour exécuter cette sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pièces de monnaie de la période de Bar Kochba - De [ces] pièces, nous avons une image de la façade du temple d'Hérode.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pierre du temple d'Hérode - Pierres jetées par les Romains.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Restes de personnes juives prises dans le conflit concernant le temple d'Hérode.\u003C\u002Fp>Bottom Line&nbsp;: Vous avez vu le témoignage du registre archéologique, et nous savons qu’aucune de ces découvertes archéologiques n’a jamais contredit un fait biblique.

For most, these events have been communicated through seasonal sermons, illustrated storybooks, or dramatic recreations. It may, then, be a surprise to learn that the sites associated with this greatest story ever told still exists today. The science of archaeology has been the modern means of restoring much of the first-century world and enabling us to experience the reality of Easter in a way unavailable to Christians of the past. Archaeology confirms that the life-changing message of Easter, even though miraculous in nature, took place in the arena of actual history. This is significant for Christians for two reasons.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; First, because even though the message of Easter may be preached with passion from our pulpits and performed with pageantry in our Easter productions, people may mistakenly feel these are merely church “traditions” rather than historical truth. As with any truth that has become tradition it can lose the sense of its original setting in this world and feel it belongs to some other. This loss of connection with the real world context of Christianity, which defines our faith as fact, imperils our practice of the real significance of the season - our personal salvation provided at the cross and of resurrection life and the future hope of our own bodily resurrection. Archaeology has the ability to replace our unreal portraits of Jesus with a real figure from a real world that demands real faith. As archaeology uncovers the material remains of the Easter context, it does not diminish the miracle of the message but increases our faith in its historical fulfillment.\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A second concern for archaeology’s importance to Easter grows out the first and relates to the problem of the present postmodern concept of Christianity as an experience transcending history. The problem of postmodern thought is revealed in a statement by Marcus Borg, Oregon State University professor and Chairman of the Jesus Seminar: “The truth of Easter does not depend on whether there really was an empty tomb … It is because Jesus is known as a living reality that we take Easter stories seriously, not the other way around. And taking them seriously need not mean taking them literally.” To the contrary, however, archaeological excavations have given sufficient evidence that there is every reason to take the Easter stories both seriously and literally. Let us consider the two central events of the Easter accounts, the crucifixion and burial of Jesus.\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; With respect to the fact of crucifixion, the method of execution perfected by the Roman government to punish criminals, archaeology has vividly revealed its existence in Jerusalem at the time of Jesus. In 1968 the remains of a crucified man from Giv'at ha-Mivtar, a northern suburb of Jerusalem, was discovered in an ossuary from near the time of Jesus. The name of the man, from an Aramaic inscription on the ossuary, was Yohanan ben Ha'galgol, and from an analysis of his skeletal remains he was in his thirties, approximately the same age as Jesus at the time of His crucifixion. His ankle bone was still pierced with a 7 inch-long crucifixion nail and attached to a piece of wood from a cross. Apparently the nail had hit a knot in the olive wood patibulum (the upright section of a cross) and become so lodged that the victim could not be removed without retaining both the nail and a fragment of the cross. According to one anthropological analyst, there were also marks of nails on the wrist bones and of a board had been used to support the feet. This find reveals afresh the horrors of the Roman punishment as recorded in the Gospels. They indicate that the position the body assumed on the cross was with the legs nailed on either side of the upright stake. Therefore, rather than the body being straight, it was pushed up and twisted, causing terribly painful muscle spasms and eventually death by the excruciating process of asphyxiation. This discovery supports the biblical statement of nailing crucified victims, refuting a previous theory they were simply tied to the cross. In addition, the fact that the bones of Yohanan were found in secondary burial within a tomb also disproves an old hypothesis that state criminals were cast into a common grave, for this crucified victim, like Jesus, had received a proper Jewish burial in a family tomb.\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The place of Jesus’ crucifixion and burial has also been brought to light through archaeology. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, located today in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, encloses a portion of a hill traditionally considered to be the true site of Calvary. Protestant Christian tourists most favor the Protestant site known as \"the Garden Tomb\" discovered in 1883 by the British officer Charles Gordon. Here in a serene setting outside the present -day walls of Jerusalem can be found a weathered tomb situated next to a deeply eroded limestone hill which Gordon identified as \"Skull Hill\" (now known as “Gordon’s Calvary”). However, archaeological examination of the site by Jerusalem archaeologists Gabriel Barkay and Amos Kloner have shown that the Garden Tomb is part of a system of Iron Age II type tombs in the area all dating from the First Temple period (8th-7th centuries B.C.). The most prominent of these tombs are located next door to the Garden Tomb on the property of the French School of Archaeology, the École Biblique. Since the New Testament says that Jesus was buried in \"a new tomb, in which no one had yet been laid\" (John 19:41), the Garden Tomb, already some 800 years in the time of Jesus, cannot meet the Gospel’s explicit criteria. However, the traditional site of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre has a history going back at least to the fourth century A.D. based on its description in Byzantine sources and the existence of columns still in use today from the earlier church of Constantine the Great. Although today it is located within the present walls of the Old City, and the Gospels specify that Jesus was crucified \"outside the walls\" (John 19:20; Hebrews 13:11-12), the modern walls do not follow the ancient course. This was proven in the late 1960's when British archaeologist Kathleen Kenyon discovered that the wall now enclosing the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was a \"Second Wall\" constructed after the time of Jesus (about A.D. 41). Therefore, when Jesus was crucified the site would have been outside the earlier \"First Wall.\" Furthermore, in 1976 Israeli archaeologist Magen Broshi uncovered a portion of the original Herodian wall in the northeast section of the church. This revealed that the area upon which the church is built was just outside the western wall of the city on the line of the First Wall. In addition, other archaeologists have discovered that a \"Garden Gate\" was on this wall, a fact which agrees with the Gospel’s mention of a garden in this area. Examination of the tombs in the vicinity of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre confirm that they are from the late Second Temple period (first century A.D.), the very time in which Jesus would have lived. The type of tomb also matches the precise type of tomb in which Jesus was laid.\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Archaeological excavations to expose the rock enclosed by the Church have revealed that it was a rejected portion of a pre-exilic white stone quarry, as evidenced by Iron Age II pottery at the site. In this light, if this is the actual site it has been suggested that Peter's citation of Psalm 118:22: \"The stone which the builders rejected …\" may have a double meaning (see Acts 4:11; 1 Peter 2:7). By the first century B.C. this rejected quarry had made the transition from a refuse dump to a burial site. It also gives evidence that it was located near a public road in Jesus' time, another factor which helps to qualify it as the authentic site since the Gospels record that those passing by the place where Jesus’ cross was situated were able to mock Him (see Matthew 27:39).The nature of the rock site fits both the Jewish and Roman requirements as an execution site and it may be because of its association with a place of death that it was called in Jesus’ time the \"place of the skull.\" A portion of the rock can still be viewed today through a glass-covered section on the entrance level of the Church. This visible remnant of rock bears evidence of earthquake activity, a fact which accords with the Gospel story of an earthquake that accompanied the crucifixion (Matthew 27:51).\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; With respect to the burial of Jesus, in the first century two types of tombs were in use. One was the more common kokim tomb which employed long narrow niches cut into the chamber of the burial cave\u003Cbr>walls at right angles. The other known as thearcosolia tomb had shallow benches cut parallel to the wall of the chamber with an arch-shaped top over the recess. These type of tombs were reserved for those of wealth and high rank. This seems to be the type of tomb in which Jesus was laid because Jesus tomb was said to be a wealthy man's tomb (Matthew 27:57; cf. Isaiah 53:9), the body could be seen by the disciples as laid out (something only possible with a bench cut tomb), John 20:5, 11, and the angels were seen sitting at both His head and feet (John 20:12). The “Tomb of Jesus” at the traditional site, though deformed by centuries of devoted pilgrims, is clearly composed of an antechamber and a rock-cut arcosolium.\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Excavations conducted in the late 1970's in the area of the tomb has provided additional support for this being the place where the original Easter drama was performed. In the lower sections of the Church were discovered the foundations of the Roman emperor Hadrian's “Forumn,” in which his Temple of Aphrodite had been erected around A.D.135. Hadrian followed Roman custom in building pagan temples and shrines to supercede earlier religious structures. This was done at the site of the Jewish Temple, located not far from the Holy Sepulchre Church, and the fourth century church historian and Bishop of Caesarea Eseubius confirms that it was also done in this case: “Hadrian built a huge rectangular platform over this quarry, concealing the holy cave beneath this massive mound.\" If the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is the actual site venerated by Christians as the tomb of Jesus, it would explain this location for the Roman building.\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When the disciples first came to the tomb on that first Easter morning, the Gospels record: \"the body of Jesus they did not find.\" In the same manner down through the ages skeptics and critics have also come, whether literally or figuratively, and the verdict of history has remained the same as in ancient times - \"His body they did not find.\" In the final analysis, archaeology may bring us to the tomb, but only faith - informed by the facts - can bring us to Christ. Yet, because archaeology has shown us that the facts that support faith are accurate - an identifiable tomb attesting to literal events - our faith in the Christ of history does depend upon an historically empty tomb for its reality. Archaeology has revealed the persons (Caiaphas, Pilate) and events (crucifixion, entombment) which make up the story of Easter. The resurrection is interwoven with these facts so as to command the same consideration. And when considered along with the historical, social and emotional facts of the first Easter that surround the claim that Christ arose, archaeology adds yet another witness to Him Who has come and is coming again!\u003C\u002Fp>","the-evidence-of-easter","2026-07-29T16:47:14.557Z","https:\u002F\u002Fs3.amazonaws.com\u002Ftruelife1\u002Ficons\u002F12\u002Fanswerthumbnails\u002Ffull.jpg","La evidencia de la Pascua","\u003Cp>Todos los cristianos est&aacute;n familiarizados con los eventos celebrados en Pascua: la crucifixi&oacute;n y resurrecci&oacute;n de Jesucristo.

Esta p&eacute;rdida de conexi&oacute;n con el contexto del cristianismo en el mundo real, que define nuestra fe como un hecho, pone en peligro nuestra pr&aacute;ctica del verdadero significado de la temporada: nuestra salvaci&oacute;n personal provista en la cruz y la vida de resurrecci&oacute;n y la esperanza futura de nuestra propia resurrecci&oacute;n corporal. . La arqueolog&iacute;a tiene la capacidad de reemplazar nuestros retratos irreales de Jes&uacute;s con una figura real de un mundo real que exige fe real.

Por el contrario, sin embargo, las excavaciones arqueol&oacute;gicas han dado suficiente evidencia de que hay todas las razones para tomar las historias de Pascua tanto en serio como literalmente. Consideremos los dos eventos centrales de los relatos de Pascua, la crucifixi&oacute;n y el entierro de Jes&uacute;s.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Con respecto al hecho de la crucifixi&oacute;n, el m&eacute;todo de ejecuci&oacute;n perfeccionado por el gobierno romano para castigar a los criminales, la arqueolog&iacute;a ha revelado v&iacute;vidamente su existencia en Jerusal&eacute;n en la &eacute;poca de Jes&uacute;s. En 1968, los restos de un hombre crucificado de Giv'at ha-Mivtar, un suburbio al norte de Jerusal&eacute;n, fueron descubiertos en un osario cerca de la &eacute;poca de Jes&uacute;s. El nombre del hombre, de una inscripci&oacute;n aramea en el osario, era Yohanan ben Ha'galgol, y de un an&aacute;lisis de sus restos esquel&eacute;ticos ten&iacute;a unos treinta a&ntilde;os, aproximadamente la misma edad que Jes&uacute;s en el momento de su crucifixi&oacute;n. Su hueso del tobillo todav&iacute;a estaba perforado con un clavo de crucifixi&oacute;n de 7 pulgadas de largo y unido a un pedazo de madera de una cruz. Aparentemente, el clavo hab&iacute;a golpeado un nudo en el patibulum de madera de olivo (la secci&oacute;n vertical de una cruz) y estaba tan alojado que la v&iacute;ctima no pod&iacute;a ser removida sin retener tanto el clavo como un fragmento de la cruz. Seg&uacute;n un analista antropol&oacute;gico, tambi&eacute;n hab&iacute;a marcas de u&ntilde;as en los huesos de las mu&ntilde;ecas y de una tabla que se hab&iacute;a utilizado para sostener los pies. Este hallazgo revela de nuevo los horrores del castigo romano como se registra en los Evangelios. Indican que la posici&oacute;n que el cuerpo asumi&oacute; en la cruz fue con las piernas clavadas a cada lado de la estaca vertical. Por lo tanto, en lugar de que el cuerpo fuera recto, se empuj&oacute; hacia arriba y se retorci&oacute;, causando espasmos musculares terriblemente dolorosos y, finalmente, la muerte por el insoportable proceso de asfixia. Este descubrimiento respalda la declaraci&oacute;n b&iacute;blica de clavar a las v&iacute;ctimas crucificadas, refutando una teor&iacute;a previa de que simplemente estaban atados a la cruz. Adem&aacute;s, el hecho de que los huesos de Yohanan se encontraron en un entierro secundario dentro de una tumba tambi&eacute;n refuta una vieja hip&oacute;tesis de que los criminales estatales fueron arrojados a una tumba com&uacute;n, ya que esta v&iacute;ctima crucificada, como Jes&uacute;s, hab&iacute;a recibido un entierro jud&iacute;o adecuado en una familia. tumba.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>El lugar de la crucifixi&oacute;n y entierro de Jes&uacute;s tambi&eacute;n ha sido revelado a trav&eacute;s de la arqueolog&iacute;a.

Sin embargo, el examen arqueol&oacute;gico del sitio por los arque&oacute;logos de Jerusal&eacute;n Gabriel Barkay y Amos Kloner ha demostrado que la Tumba del Jard&iacute;n es parte de un sistema de tumbas tipo Edad de Hierro II en el &aacute;rea, todas que datan del per&iacute;odo del Primer Templo (siglos VIII-VII a. C.). La m&aacute;s prominente de estas tumbas se encuentra al lado de la Tumba del Jard&iacute;n en la propiedad de la Escuela Francesa de Arqueolog&iacute;a, la &Eacute;cole Biblique. Dado que el Nuevo Testamento dice que Jes&uacute;s fue enterrado en \"una nueva tumba, en la que a&uacute;n no se hab&iacute;a puesto a nadie\" (Juan 19:41), la Tumba del Jard&iacute;n, que ya lleva unos 800 a&ntilde;os en el tiempo de Jes&uacute;s, no puede cumplir con el Evangelio expl&iacute;cito criterios Sin embargo, el sitio tradicional de la Iglesia del Santo Sepulcro tiene una historia que se remonta al menos al siglo IV d. C., basada en su descripci&oacute;n en fuentes bizantinas y en la existencia de columnas que todav&iacute;a se usan en la actualidad de la iglesia anterior de Constantino el Grande. Aunque hoy se encuentra dentro de los muros actuales de la Ciudad Vieja, y los Evangelios especifican que Jes&uacute;s fue crucificado \"fuera de los muros\" (Juan 19:20; Hebreos 13: 11-12), los muros modernos no siguen el curso antiguo . Esto se demostr&oacute; a fines de la d&eacute;cada de 1960 cuando la arque&oacute;loga brit&aacute;nica Kathleen Kenyon descubri&oacute; que el muro que ahora rodeaba la Iglesia del Santo Sepulcro era un \"Segundo Muro\" construido despu&eacute;s de la &eacute;poca de Jes&uacute;s (alrededor del a&ntilde;o 41 d. C.). Por lo tanto, cuando Jes&uacute;s fue crucificado, el sitio habr&iacute;a estado fuera del \"Primer Muro\" anterior. Adem&aacute;s, en 1976 el arque&oacute;logo israel&iacute; Magen Broshi descubri&oacute; una porci&oacute;n del muro original de Herodes en la secci&oacute;n noreste de la iglesia. Esto revel&oacute; que el &aacute;rea sobre la cual se construy&oacute; la iglesia estaba justo afuera del muro occidental de la ciudad en la l&iacute;nea del Primer Muro. Adem&aacute;s, otros arque&oacute;logos han descubierto que hab&iacute;a una \"Puerta del Jard&iacute;n\" en este muro, un hecho que concuerda con la menci&oacute;n del Evangelio de un jard&iacute;n en esta &aacute;rea. El examen de las tumbas en las cercan&iacute;as de la Iglesia del Santo Sepulcro confirma que son del per&iacute;odo tard&iacute;o del Segundo Templo (siglo I d. C.), el mismo tiempo en que Jes&uacute;s habr&iacute;a vivido. El tipo de tumba tambi&eacute;n coincide con el tipo preciso de tumba en la que Jes&uacute;s fue puesto.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Las excavaciones arqueol&oacute;gicas para exponer la roca encerrada por la Iglesia han revelado que se trataba de una porci&oacute;n rechazada de una cantera de piedra blanca pre-ex&iacute;lica, como lo demuestra la cer&aacute;mica de la Edad de Hierro II en el sitio. En este sentido, si este es el sitio real, se ha sugerido que la cita de Pedro del Salmo 118: 22: \"La piedra que los constructores rechazaron ...\" puede tener un doble significado (ver Hechos 4:11; 1 Pedro 2: 7) . Para el siglo I a. C. Esta cantera rechazada hab&iacute;a hecho la transici&oacute;n de un basurero a un sitio de entierro. Tambi&eacute;n da evidencia de que estaba ubicado cerca de una v&iacute;a p&uacute;blica en la &eacute;poca de Jes&uacute;s, otro factor que ayuda a calificarlo como el sitio aut&eacute;ntico ya que los Evangelios registran que aquellos que pasaron por el lugar donde estaba la cruz de Jes&uacute;s pudieron burlarse de &Eacute;l (ver Mateo 27:39). La naturaleza del sitio de la roca se ajusta tanto a los requisitos jud&iacute;os como a los romanos como un sitio de ejecuci&oacute;n y puede ser debido a su asociaci&oacute;n con un lugar de muerte que en tiempos de Jes&uacute;s fue llamado el \"lugar del cr&aacute;neo.\" Una parte de la roca todav&iacute;a se puede ver hoy a trav&eacute;s de una secci&oacute;n cubierta de vidrio en el nivel de entrada de la Iglesia. Este remanente visible de roca muestra evidencia de actividad s&iacute;smica, un hecho que concuerda con la historia del Evangelio de un terremoto que acompa&ntilde;&oacute; a la crucifixi&oacute;n (Mateo 27:51).\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Con respecto al entierro de Jes&uacute;s, en el primer siglo se usaban dos tipos de tumbas. Una era la tumba kokim m&aacute;s com&uacute;n que empleaba nichos largos y estrechos cortados en la c&aacute;mara de la cueva funeraria\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>paredes en &aacute;ngulo recto. La otra tumba conocida como thearcosolia ten&iacute;a bancos poco profundos cortados paralelos a la pared de la c&aacute;mara con una parte superior en forma de arco sobre el receso. Este tipo de tumbas estaban reservadas para aquellos de riqueza y alto rango. Este parece ser el tipo de tumba en la que Jes&uacute;s fue puesto porque se dijo que la tumba de Jes&uacute;s era la tumba de un hombre rico (Mateo 27:57; cf. Isa&iacute;as 53: 9), los disc&iacute;pulos pod&iacute;an ver el cuerpo tal como estaba ( algo solo es posible con una tumba cortada en un banco), Juan 20: 5, 11, y los &aacute;ngeles fueron vistos sentados tanto en su cabeza como en sus pies (Juan 20:12). La \"Tumba de Jes&uacute;s\" en el sitio tradicional, aunque deformada por siglos de devotos peregrinos, est&aacute; claramente compuesta por una antec&aacute;mara y un arcosolio tallado en la roca.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Las excavaciones realizadas a fines de la d&eacute;cada de 1970 en el &aacute;rea de la tumba han brindado apoyo adicional para que este sea el lugar donde se realiz&oacute; el drama original de Pascua. En las secciones inferiores de la Iglesia se descubrieron los cimientos del \"Forumn\" del emperador romano Adriano, en el que su Templo de Afrodita se hab&iacute;a erigido alrededor del a&ntilde;o A.D.135. Adriano sigui&oacute; la costumbre romana en la construcci&oacute;n de templos y santuarios paganos para reemplazar las estructuras religiosas anteriores. Esto se hizo en el sitio del Templo Jud&iacute;o, ubicado no lejos de la Iglesia del Santo Sepulcro, y el historiador de la iglesia del siglo IV y Obispo de Cesarea Eseubio confirma que tambi&eacute;n se hizo en este caso: \"Adriano construy&oacute; una enorme plataforma rectangular sobre este cantera, ocultando la cueva sagrada debajo de este mont&iacute;culo masivo. \"Si la Iglesia del Santo Sepulcro es el sitio real venerado por los cristianos como la tumba de Jes&uacute;s, explicar&iacute;a esta ubicaci&oacute;n para el edificio romano.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cuando los disc&iacute;pulos llegaron por primera vez a la tumba esa primera ma&ntilde;ana de Pascua, los Evangelios registran: \"el cuerpo de Jes&uacute;s que no encontraron\". De la misma manera, a trav&eacute;s de los siglos, los esc&eacute;pticos y cr&iacute;ticos tambi&eacute;n han llegado, ya sea literal o figurativamente, y el veredicto de la historia se ha mantenido igual que en la antig&uuml;edad: \"Su cuerpo no lo encontraron\". En el an&aacute;lisis final, la arqueolog&iacute;a puede llevarnos a la tumba, pero solo la fe, informada por los hechos, puede llevarnos a Cristo. Sin embargo, debido a que la arqueolog&iacute;a nos ha demostrado que los hechos que respaldan la fe son precisos, una tumba identificable que atestigua eventos literales, nuestra fe en el Cristo de la historia depende de una tumba hist&oacute;ricamente vac&iacute;a para su realidad. La arqueolog&iacute;a ha revelado las personas (Caif&aacute;s, Pilatos) y los eventos (crucifixi&oacute;n, sepultura) que componen la historia de la Pascua. La resurrecci&oacute;n se entrelaza con estos hechos para ordenar la misma consideraci&oacute;n. Y cuando se considera junto con los hechos hist&oacute;ricos, sociales y emocionales de la primera Pascua que rodean la afirmaci&oacute;n de que Cristo resucit&oacute;, &iexcl;la arqueolog&iacute;a agrega otro testigo m&aacute;s a Aquel que ha venido y volver&aacute;!\u003C\u002Fp>","\n\nLa preuve de Pâques","\u003Cp>Tous les chrétiens sont familiers des événements célébrés à Pâques — la crucifixion et la résurrection de Jésus-Christ. Pour la plupart, ces événements ont été transmis par des sermons saisonniers, des livres d’histoires illustrés ou des reconstitutions dramatiques. Il peut donc surprendre d’apprendre que les sites associés à cette plus grande histoire jamais racontée existent encore aujourd’hui. La science de l’archéologie a été le moyen moderne de restaurer une grande partie du monde du premier siècle et de nous permettre de vivre la réalité de Pâques d’une manière inaccessible aux chrétiens du passé. L’archéologie confirme que le message transformateur de Pâques, bien que de nature miraculeuse, s’est déroulé dans l’arène de l’histoire réelle. Cela est significatif pour les chrétiens pour deux raisons.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Premièrement, parce que même si le message de Pâques peut être prêché avec passion depuis nos chaires et mis en scène avec faste dans nos productions pascales, les gens peuvent par erreur penser qu’il s’agit simplement de « traditions » ecclésiales plutôt que de vérité historique. Comme toute vérité devenue tradition, elle peut perdre le sens de son cadre originel dans ce monde et sembler appartenir à un autre. Cette perte de lien avec le contexte réel du christianisme, qui définit notre foi comme un fait, met en péril notre pratique de la signification réelle de la saison — notre salut personnel offert à la croix et la vie de résurrection ainsi que l’espérance future de notre propre résurrection corporelle. L’archéologie a la capacité de remplacer nos portraits irréels de Jésus par une figure réelle issue d’un monde réel qui exige une foi réelle. En découvrant les vestiges matériels du contexte pascal, l’archéologie ne diminue pas le miracle du message mais accroît notre foi en son accomplissement historique.\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Une deuxième préoccupation concernant l’importance de l’archéologie pour Pâques découle de la première et se rapporte au problème de la conception postmoderne actuelle du christianisme comme une expérience transcendant l’histoire. Le problème de la pensée postmoderne est révélé dans une déclaration de Marcus Borg, professeur à l’Oregon State University et président du Jesus Seminar : « La vérité de Pâques ne dépend pas de l’existence réelle d’un tombeau vide … C’est parce que Jésus est connu comme une réalité vivante que nous prenons les récits de Pâques au sérieux, et non l’inverse. Et les prendre au sérieux ne signifie pas nécessairement les prendre littéralement. » Au contraire, cependant, les fouilles archéologiques ont fourni suffisamment de preuves qu’il y a toutes les raisons de prendre les récits de Pâques au sérieux et littéralement. Considérons les deux événements centraux des récits pascaux, la crucifixion et l’enterrement de Jésus.\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; En ce qui concerne le fait de la crucifixion, la méthode d’exécution perfectionnée par le gouvernement romain pour punir les criminels, l’archéologie a révélé de manière vivante son existence à Jérusalem à l’époque de Jésus. En 1968, les restes d’un homme crucifié à Giv’at ha-Mivtar, une banlieue nord de Jérusalem, ont été découverts dans un ossuaire datant de l’époque de Jésus. Le nom de l’homme, d’après une inscription araméenne sur l’ossuaire, était Yohanan ben Ha’galgol, et d’après l’analyse de ses restes squelettiques, il était dans la trentaine, à peu près le même âge que Jésus au moment de sa crucifixion. Son os de la cheville était encore percé d’un clou de crucifixion de 7 pouces de long et fixé à un morceau de bois provenant d’une croix. Apparemment, le clou avait heurté un nœud dans le patibulum en bois d’olivier (la section verticale d’une croix) et s’était tellement coincé que la victime ne pouvait pas être retirée sans conserver à la fois le clou et un fragment de la croix. Selon un analyste anthropologique, il y avait également des marques de clous sur les os du poignet et une planche avait été utilisée pour soutenir les pieds. Cette découverte révèle à nouveau les horreurs du châtiment romain tel qu’il est décrit dans les Évangiles. Elles indiquent que la position du corps sur la croix était avec les jambes clouées de part et d’autre du poteau vertical. Par conséquent, plutôt que le corps étant droit, il était poussé vers le haut et tordu, provoquant des spasmes musculaires terriblement douloureux et finalement la mort par le processus atroce d’asphyxie. Cette découverte soutient l’affirmation biblique selon laquelle les victimes crucifiées étaient clouées, réfutant une théorie antérieure selon laquelle elles étaient simplement attachées à la croix. De plus, le fait que les os de Yohanan aient été trouvés dans une sépulture secondaire dans un tombeau réfute également une ancienne hypothèse selon laquelle les criminels d’État étaient jetés dans une fosse commune, car cette victime crucifiée, comme Jésus, avait reçu une sépulture juive appropriée dans un tombeau familial.\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; L’endroit de la crucifixion et de la sépulture de Jésus a également été mis en lumière par l’archéologie. L’église du Saint-Sépulcre, située aujourd’hui dans le quartier chrétien de la Vieille Ville de Jérusalem, renferme une partie d’une colline traditionnellement considérée comme le véritable site du Calvaire. Les touristes chrétiens protestants préfèrent généralement le site protestant connu sous le nom de « Tombeau du Jardin », découvert en 1883 par l’officier britannique Charles Gordon. On y trouve, dans un cadre serein à l’extérieur des murs actuels de Jérusalem, un tombeau usé situé à côté d’une colline calcaire profondément érodée que Gordon a identifiée comme la « Colline du Crâne » (aujourd’hui appelée « Calvaire de Gordon »). Cependant, l’examen archéologique du site par les archéologues de Jérusalem Gabriel Barkay et Amos Kloner a montré que le Tombeau du Jardin fait partie d’un système de tombes de type Âge du Fer II dans la région, toutes datant de la période du Premier Temple (VIIIe-VIIe siècles av. J.-C.). Les plus importantes de ces tombes sont situées juste à côté du Tombeau du Jardin, sur la propriété de l’École biblique française, l’École biblique. Puisque le Nouveau Testament indique que Jésus a été enterré « dans un tombeau neuf, où personne n’avait encore été déposé » (Jean 19:41), le Tombeau du Jardin, déjà vieux de quelque 800 ans à l’époque de Jésus, ne peut répondre aux critères explicites de l’Évangile. En revanche, le site traditionnel de l’église du Saint-Sépulcre remonte au moins au IVe siècle apr. J.-C., d’après sa description dans les sources byzantines et la présence de colonnes encore utilisées aujourd’hui provenant de l’ancienne église de Constantin le Grand. Bien qu’elle soit aujourd’hui située à l’intérieur des murs actuels de la Vieille Ville, et que les Évangiles précisent que Jésus a été crucifié « hors des murs » (Jean 19:20 ; Hébreux 13:11-12), les murs modernes ne suivent pas le tracé ancien. Cela a été prouvé à la fin des années 1960 lorsque l’archéologue britannique Kathleen Kenyon a découvert que le mur qui entoure aujourd’hui l’église du Saint-Sépulcre était un « Deuxième Mur » construit après l’époque de Jésus (vers 41 apr. J.-C.). Par conséquent, au moment de la crucifixion de Jésus, le site se trouvait à l’extérieur du « Premier Mur » antérieur. De plus, en 1976, l’archéologue israélien Magen Broshi a mis au jour une portion du mur hérodien original dans la section nord-est de l’église. Cela a révélé que la zone sur laquelle l’église est construite se trouvait juste à l’extérieur du mur ouest de la ville, sur la ligne du Premier Mur. En outre, d’autres archéologues ont découvert qu’une « Porte du Jardin » se trouvait sur ce mur, un fait qui concorde avec la mention, dans l’Évangile, d’un jardin dans cette zone. L’examen des tombes aux alentours de l’église du Saint-Sépulcre confirme qu’elles datent de la fin de la période du Second Temple (Ier siècle apr. J.-C.), précisément à l’époque où Jésus a vécu. Le type de tombe correspond également exactement à celui dans lequel Jésus a été déposé.\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Les fouilles archéologiques destinées à dégager le rocher enfermé par l’église ont révélé qu’il s’agissait d’une portion rejetée d’une carrière de pierre blanche préexilique, comme en témoigne la poterie de l’Âge du Fer II trouvée sur le site. Dans cette perspective, si tel est le site réel, on a suggéré que la citation par Pierre du Psaume 118:22 : « La pierre qu’ont rejetée ceux qui bâtissaient… » pouvait avoir un double sens (voir Actes 4:11 ; 1 Pierre 2:7). Au Ier siècle av. J.-C., cette carrière rejetée était passée d’une décharge à un lieu de sépulture. Elle montre également qu’elle se trouvait près d’une voie publique à l’époque de Jésus, un autre facteur qui contribue à la qualifier de site authentique, puisque les Évangiles rapportent que ceux qui passaient devant l’endroit où se trouvait la croix de Jésus pouvaient le railler (voir Matthieu 27:39). La nature du site rocheux répond à la fois aux exigences juives et romaines en tant que lieu d’exécution, et c’est peut-être en raison de son association avec un lieu de mort qu’il a été appelé à l’époque de Jésus « lieu du crâne ». Une partie du rocher peut encore être vue aujourd’hui à travers une section vitrée au niveau de l’entrée de l’église. Ce vestige visible du rocher porte les traces d’une activité sismique, un fait qui concorde avec le récit évangélique d’un tremblement de terre qui a accompagné la crucifixion (Matthieu 27:51).\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; En ce qui concerne la sépulture de Jésus, deux types de tombes étaient en usage au Ier siècle. L’un était le tombeau kokim, plus courant, qui comportait de longues niches étroites taillées perpendiculairement dans les murs de la chambre funéraire de la grotte. L’autre, appelé tombeau arcosolium, comportait des banquettes peu profondes taillées parallèlement au mur de la chambre, surmontées d’un sommet en forme d’arc. Ces tombes étaient réservées aux personnes riches et de haut rang. C’est apparemment ce type de tombeau dans lequel Jésus a été déposé, car le tombeau de Jésus est décrit comme celui d’un homme riche (Matthieu 27:57 ; cf. Isaïe 53:9), le corps pouvait être vu par les disciples étendu (ce qui n’est possible qu’avec un tombeau à banquette), Jean 20:5, 11, et les anges étaient vus assis à la fois à sa tête et à ses pieds (Jean 20:12). Le « Tombeau de Jésus » sur le site traditionnel, bien que déformé par des siècles de pèlerins dévots, est clairement composé d’un antichambre et d’un arcosolium taillé dans le roc.\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Les fouilles menées à la fin des années 1970 dans la zone du tombeau ont apporté un soutien supplémentaire à l’idée que c’est là que le premier drame pascal a été joué. Dans les sections inférieures de l’église, on a découvert les fondations du « Forum » de l’empereur romain Hadrien, dans lequel son temple d’Aphrodite avait été érigé vers 135 apr. J.-C. Hadrien suivait la coutume romaine consistant à construire des temples et des sanctuaires païens pour supplanter les structures religieuses antérieures. Cela a été fait sur le site du Temple juif, situé non loin de l’église du Saint-Sépulcre, et l’historien de l’Église du IVe siècle et évêque de Césarée, Eusèbe, confirme que cela a également été fait dans ce cas : « Hadrien construisit une immense plateforme rectangulaire sur cette carrière, dissimulant la sainte grotte sous ce monticule massif. » Si l’église du Saint-Sépulcre est le site réel vénéré par les chrétiens comme le tombeau de Jésus, cela expliquerait cet emplacement pour la construction romaine.\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Lorsque les disciples sont arrivés pour la première fois au tombeau ce premier matin de Pâques, les Évangiles rapportent : « ils ne trouvèrent pas le corps de Jésus ». De la même manière, au fil des âges, les sceptiques et les critiques sont également venus, que ce soit littéralement ou figurativement, et le verdict de l’histoire est resté le même que dans les temps anciens : « Son corps, ils ne le trouvèrent pas. » En fin de compte, l’archéologie peut nous conduire au tombeau, mais seule la foi – éclairée par les faits – peut nous conduire au Christ. Pourtant, parce que l’archéologie nous a montré que les faits qui soutiennent la foi sont exacts – un tombeau identifiable attestant d’événements littéraux – notre foi dans le Christ de l’histoire dépend bien d’un tombeau historiquement vide pour sa réalité. L’archéologie a révélé les personnes (Caïphe, Pilate) et les événements (crucifixion, mise au tombeau) qui composent l’histoire de Pâques. La résurrection est entrelacée avec ces faits de manière à exiger la même considération. Et lorsqu’on la considère avec les faits historiques, sociaux et émotionnels de la première Pâques qui entourent la revendication que le Christ est ressuscité, l’archéologie ajoute encore un autre témoin à Celui qui est venu et qui revient !\u003C\u002Fp>","\n\n예수의 부활의 증거","\u003Cp>모든 기독교인들은 부활절에 기념되는 사건들, 즉 예수 그리스도의 십자가 처형과 부활에 대해 잘 알고 있습니다. 대부분의 사람들에게 이러한 사건들은 계절 설교, 삽화가 들어간 이야기책, 또는 드라마틱한 재현을 통해 전달되어 왔습니다. 그렇다면 이 위대한 이야기와 관련된 장소들이 오늘날에도 여전히 존재한다는 사실을 알게 되면 놀라울 수 있습니다. 고고학이라는 학문은 1세기 세계의 많은 부분을 현대적으로 복원하고, 과거 기독교인들이 경험할 수 없었던 방식으로 부활절의 현실을 체험할 수 있게 해주었습니다. 고고학은 기적적인 성격을 지니고 있음에도 불구하고, 부활절의 삶을 변화시키는 메시지가 실제 역사라는 무대에서 일어났음을 확인해 줍니다. 이는 기독교인들에게 두 가지 이유로 중요합니다.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 첫째, 부활절의 메시지가 설교단에서 열정적으로 전파되고 부활절 공연에서 화려하게 재현될지라도, 사람들은 이를 역사적 진리가 아닌 단순한 교회 “전통”으로 오해할 수 있습니다. 전통이 된 진리는 원래의 이 세상 배경에 대한 감각을 잃고, 다른 어떤 것에 속한 것처럼 느껴질 수 있습니다. 기독교의 실질적인 의미, 즉 십자가에서 제공된 개인의 구원과 부활의 삶, 그리고 우리 자신의 육체적 부활에 대한 미래의 소망을 정의하는 실재 세계와의 연결이 끊어지는 것은 우리의 신앙 실천을 위태롭게 합니다. 고고학은 예수에 대한 비현실적인 초상화를 실제 세계에서 온 실재 인물로 대체하여 진정한 신앙을 요구하게 합니다. 고고학이 부활절 배경의 물질적 유물을 발굴함으로써, 메시지의 기적을 축소시키는 것이 아니라 그 역사적 성취에 대한 우리의 신앙을 증대시킵니다.\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 고고학이 부활절에 중요한 두 번째 이유는 첫 번째 이유에서 비롯되며, 기독교를 역사를 초월한 경험으로 보는 현재의 포스트모던 개념과 관련이 있습니다. 포스트모던 사상의 문제점은 오리건 주립대학교 교수이자 예수 세미나 의장인 마커스 보그(Marcus Borg)의 진술에서 드러납니다: “부활절의 진실은 실제로 빈 무덤이 있었는지에 달려 있지 않다 … 우리가 예수를 살아 있는 실재로 알기 때문에 부활절 이야기를 진지하게 받아들이는 것이지, 그 반대가 아니다. 그리고 이를 진지하게 받아들이는 것이 반드시 문자 그대로 받아들여야 한다는 것을 의미하지는 않는다.” 그러나 고고학 발굴은 부활절 이야기를 진지하게 그리고 문자 그대로 받아들여야 할 충분한 이유가 있음을 보여주는 증거를 충분히 제시해 왔습니다. 이제 부활절 기록의 두 가지 중심 사건, 즉 예수의 십자가 처형과 매장에 대해 살펴보겠습니다.\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 십자가 처형이라는 사실과 관련하여, 로마 정부가 범죄자를 처벌하기 위해 완성한 처형 방법은 예수 시대 예루살렘에서 고고학적으로 생생하게 드러났습니다. 1968년 예수 시대와 가까운 시기의 납골단지에서 예루살렘 북부 교외 기밧 하-미브타르(Giv'at ha-Mivtar)에서 십자가에 처형된 남자의 유골이 발견되었습니다. 납골단지에 새겨진 아람어 비문에서 이 남성의 이름은 요하난 벤 하갈골(Yohanan ben Ha'galgol)이었으며, 골격 유골 분석 결과 그는 30대였고, 십자가 처형 당시 예수와 거의 같은 나이였습니다. 그의 발목뼈에는 여전히 7인치 길이의 십자가 못이 박혀 있었고, 십자가의 일부인 나무 조각이 붙어 있었습니다. 분명히 이 못은 십자가의 수직 기둥인 올리브 나무 파티불룸(patibulum)의 옹이 부분에 박혀 너무 단단히 고정되어 있어, 못과 십자가 조각을 모두 남기지 않고는 희생자를 제거할 수 없었습니다. 한 인류학 분석가에 따르면, 손목뼈에도 못 자국이 있었고, 발을 지지하기 위해 판자가 사용된 흔적도 있었습니다. 이 발견은 복음서에 기록된 로마의 형벌의 공포를 새롭게 드러냅니다. 이는 십자가 위에서 몸의 위치가 다리가 수직 기둥의 양쪽에 못 박혀 있었음을 나타냅니다. 따라서 몸이 곧게 뻗어 있는 것이 아니라 위로 밀려 올라가 비틀어져 있었고, 이로 인해 극심한 근육 경련이 일어나 결국 숨이 막히는 극심한 과정으로 사망에 이르게 되었습니다. 이 발견은 십자가에 처형된 희생자들이 못 박혔다는 성경의 진술을 뒷받침하며, 이전에 그들이 단순히 십자가에 묶여 있었다는 이론을 반박합니다. 또한 요하난의 뼈가 무덤 내에서 이차 매장된 상태로 발견된 사실은, 국가 범죄자들은 공동묘지에 던져졌다는 오래된 가설을 반증합니다. 왜냐하면 이 십자가 처형 희생자도 예수처럼 가족 무덤에 적절한 유대식 매장을 받았기 때문입니다.\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 예수의 십자가 처형과 매장 장소 역시 고고학을 통해 밝혀졌다. 현재 예루살렘 구시가지 기독교 구역에 위치한 성묘교회는 전통적으로 갈보리 언덕으로 여겨지는 언덕 일부를 둘러싸고 있다. 개신교 기독교 관광객들은 1883년 영국 장교 찰스 고든이 발견한 “정원무덤”으로 알려진 개신교 성지를 가장 선호한다. 현재 예루살렘 성벽 밖에 자리한 고요한 환경 속에서 풍화된 무덤을 발견할 수 있으며, 이 무덤은 고든이 “해골 언덕”(현재 “고든의 갈보리”로 알려짐)으로 확인한 깊이 침식된 석회암 언덕 옆에 위치한다. 그러나 예루살렘 고고학자 가브리엘 바르카이와 아모스 클로너의 현장 조사 결과, 정원무덤은 이 지역의 모든 철기 시대 II 유형 무덤 체계의 일부이며, 모두 제1성전 시대(기원전 8~7세기)로 거슬러 올라간다. 이 무덤들 중 가장 두드러진 것은 정원무덤 바로 옆 프랑스 성서고고학 학교(École Biblique) 부지에 있다. 신약성경은 예수가 “아직 아무도 장사되지 않은 새 무덤”에 묻혔다고 기록하므로(요한복음 19:41), 예수 시대에 이미 800년이나 지난 정원무덤은 복음서의 명확한 기준에 부합하지 않는다. 반면, 성묘교회의 전통적 장소는 비잔틴 문헌 기록과 콘스탄티누스 대제의 초기 교회에서 여전히 사용되는 기둥의 존재를 근거로 최소 4세기까지 거슬러 올라간다. 오늘날 구시가지 성벽 안에 위치하지만, 복음서는 예수가 “성벽 밖”에서 십자가에 못 박혔다고 명시한다(요한복음 19:20; 히브리서 13:11-12). 현대 성벽은 고대 성벽의 경로를 따르지 않으며, 이는 1960년대 후반 영국 고고학자 캐슬린 케년이 성묘교회를 둘러싼 현재의 벽이 예수 시대 이후(약 서기 41년) 건설된 “제2벽”임을 발견함으로써 입증되었다. 따라서 예수가 십자가에 못 박힐 당시 이 장소는 초기 “제1벽” 밖에 있었을 것이다. 또한 1976년 이스라엘 고고학자 마겐 브로시가 교회 북동쪽 구역에서 원래 헤로데 시대 성벽 일부를 발견했다. 이는 교회가 세워진 지역이 제1벽 선상에서 도시 서쪽 성벽 바로 바깥에 있었음을 보여준다. 다른 고고학자들은 이 벽에 “정원문”이 있었음을 발견했으며, 이는 복음서가 이 지역에 정원이 있었다고 언급하는 것과 일치한다. 성묘교회 인근 무덤들의 조사 결과, 이 무덤들은 제2성전 시대 후기(서기 1세기) 것으로 확인되었으며, 이는 예수가 살았던 바로 그 시기와 일치한다. 무덤의 유형 또한 예수가 묻힌 무덤의 정확한 형태와 일치한다.\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 교회에 둘러싸인 암반을 노출하기 위한 고고학 발굴 결과, 이 암반은 철기 시대 II 토기가 발견된 선유배 시대 백색 석재 채석장의 버려진 부분이었음이 밝혀졌다. 이러한 맥락에서, 이곳이 실제 장소라면 베드로가 인용한 시편 118:22—“건축자들이 버린 돌이…”—이 이중적 의미를 가질 수 있다는 제안이 있다(사도행전 4:11; 베드로전서 2:7 참조). 기원전 1세기경 이 버려진 채석장은 쓰레기 매립지에서 매장지로 전환되었다. 또한 예수 시대에 공공 도로 근처에 있었음을 보여주며, 이는 복음서가 예수의 십자가가 세워진 곳을 지나가던 사람들이 그를 조롱할 수 있었다고 기록한 점과 일치한다(마태복음 27:39 참조). 암반 현장은 유대인과 로마인의 처형장 요건을 모두 충족하며, 예수 시대에 “해골의 장소”로 불린 이유가 죽음의 장소와 연관되었기 때문일 수 있다. 암반 일부는 오늘날 교회 입구 층의 유리 덮개 구역을 통해 관람할 수 있다. 이 보이는 암반 잔해는 지진 활동의 흔적을 보이는데, 이는 십자가 처형 당시 지진이 있었다는 복음서 기록과 일치한다(마태복음 27:51).\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 예수의 매장과 관련하여, 1세기에는 두 가지 유형의 무덤이 사용되었다. 하나는 매장 동굴 벽에 직각으로 길고 좁은 벽감을 파는 보다 일반적인 코킴(kokim) 무덤이다. 다른 하나는 동굴실 벽과 평행하게 얕은 벤치를 파고 그 위에 아치형 상부를 덮은 아르코솔리움(arcosolia) 무덤으로, 부유하고 지위 높은 사람들을 위한 것이었다. 이는 예수가 묻힌 무덤의 유형으로 보이는데, 예수의 무덤이 부자의 무덤이라고 기록되었고(마태복음 27:57; 이사야 53:9 참조), 제자들이 예수의 몸이 누워 있는 것을 볼 수 있었으며(벤치형 무덤에서만 가능), 요한복음 20:5, 11, 천사들이 머리와 발 양쪽에 앉아 있는 것이 보였기 때문이다(요한복음 20:12). 전통적 장소에 있는 “예수의 무덤”은 수 세기에 걸친 순례자들의 숭배로 변형되었지만, 명확히 전실과 암반으로 깎은 아르코솔리움으로 구성되어 있다.\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1970년대 후반에 무덤 지역에서 실시된 발굴은 이곳이 원래 부활절 드라마가 공연된 장소라는 점에 대한 추가적인 증거를 제공했다. 교회의 하층부에서는 로마 황제 하드리아누스의 “포룸” 기초가 발견되었으며, 그 안에는 서기 135년경에 세워진 아프로디테 신전이 있었다. 하드리아누스는 로마의 관습에 따라 이교 신전과 성소를 건설하여 기존의 종교 건축물을 대체하였다. 이는 성묘교회에서 멀지 않은 유대교 성전 부지에서도 행해졌으며, 4세기 교회사학자이자 카이사레아의 주교인 에우세비우스는 이 경우에도 동일하게 행해졌음을 확인한다: “하드리아누스는 이 채석장 위에 거대한 직사각형 플랫폼을 건설하여, 성스러운 동굴을 이 거대한 둔덕 아래에 숨겼다.” 만약 성묘교회가 기독교인들이 예수의 무덤으로 숭배하는 실제 장소라면, 이 위치에 로마 건축물이 세워진 이유를 설명할 수 있을 것이다.\u003Cbr>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 제자들이 첫 부활절 아침에 무덤에 처음 왔을 때, 복음서는 이렇게 기록한다: “예수의 시체를 그들이 발견하지 못하였다.” 같은 방식으로, 시대를 거듭하며 회의론자와 비평가들도 문자 그대로든 비유적으로든 이곳에 왔으며, 역사의 평결은 고대와 마찬가지로 그대로 남아 있다 — “그의 시체를 그들이 발견하지 못하였다.” 최종적으로 고고학은 우리를 무덤까지 데려갈 수 있지만, 오직 사실에 의해 뒷받침된 믿음만이 우리를 그리스도께로 인도할 수 있다. 그러나 고고학은 믿음을 뒷받침하는 사실들이 정확하다는 점을 보여주었기 때문에 — 문자 그대로의 사건을 증언하는 식별 가능한 무덤 — 우리의 역사적 그리스도에 대한 믿음은 실제로 비어 있는 무덤에 의존한다. 고고학은 부활절 이야기의 일부를 이루는 인물(가야바, 빌라도)과 사건(십자가형, 매장)을 밝혀냈다. 부활은 이러한 사실들과 얽혀 있어 동일한 고려를 요구한다. 그리고 고고학은 첫 부활절의 역사적·사회적·감정적 사실들과 함께 그리스도가 부활했다는 주장에 또 하나의 증언을 더하며, 그분이 오셨고 다시 오실 분임을 증언한다!\u003C\u002Fp>",{"id":2388,"title":2389,"description":2390,"featured":9,"transcript":18,"subtitle":18,"playerembed":2391,"category_id":2313,"slug":2392,"answertype":531,"created_at":2393,"updated_at":2394,"thumbnail":2395,"embed_thumbnail":2396,"embed_icon":2397,"title_es":2398,"description_es":2399,"playerembed_es":18,"transcript_es":18,"title_fr":2400,"description_fr":2401,"playerembed_fr":18,"transcript_fr":18,"title_ko":2402,"description_ko":2403,"playerembed_ko":18,"transcript_ko":18,"question_id":18,"category_slug":2315,"category_name":-1},212,"Sulfur Balls of Sodom and Gomorrah","\u003Cspan style=\"color: rgb(15, 15, 15);

Needless to say, there are people on both ends of the spectrum and all in between when it comes to the question of whether or not abortion constitutes murder. Since the discussion centers on such an important issue (the issue of murder), it is incredibly important to give careful thought and consideration to this all-important question.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>First, it is necessary to define the term murder. &nbsp;What can make this issue difficult and confusing is that society accepts various definitions of the word murder. Mirriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines murder as “The unlawful killing of another human being with malice aforethought.” In addition, most legal definitions of the word are similar in nature with varying degrees which are subdivided into first and second degree murder. This is where some confusion arises.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It should be noted that under a legal definition of murder, legal abortion would not fit the requirements. In other words, under the law of man instituted by civil government, abortion is not unlawful and would not be defined as murder. However, it should also be noted that the death of an unborn child can be legally counted as murder if there is premeditation, malice involved &nbsp;and done without legal authority (see the Unborn Victims Child Act of 2004- 18 U.S. Code § 1841 - Protection of unborn children).\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It is clear that legal definitions change with current law enactments. In 1973, abortion became legal (with some regulating factors) in all of the U.S. with the passing of the Supreme Court decision of Roe v. Wade (and its companion case of Doe v. Bolton). Before this time, abortion (with some limited circumstances) was legally considered a crime in many states. Also, many states even considered abortion illegal under common law rules. Because of this, a strict legal definition is not universal, timeless, or absolute. A problem arises when these legal definitions change the undeniable and accepted principles of “morality.” For example, at one time, slavery was legal in the U.S. &nbsp;That does not mean that it was morally okay, or that it should have been legal. However, at one time in the U.S., black people were considered by many to just be property, and without the same rights as non-blacks. But does this mean that the very nature of slaves actually changed depending on the legal determination? Of course not!\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It should be clear, then, that there is a far greater and more accurate definition of murder. This definition transcends the law of man, and is determined by the law of nature, nature’s true God, and His Word. &nbsp;Throughout all history, virtually every civilization understood that there was a universal moral law that all reasonable people intuitively understood. Acts such as lying, stealing, and murder are written on the hearts of men. They are irrefutable, universal, and absolute evils. But how do we know these things are wrong? If there is an undeniable moral law, there must be a moral law giver, one who must set the standard. Who could this be, if not God?\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Not surprisingly, the Holy Bible declares this very same truth. Romans 2:12-15 explains how all human beings have this moral compass imbedded in their conscious minds. It is the Almighty God of the universe that has placed it there. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Before humans ever wrote down civil law, God determined what defines murder. Based on Scripture, a proper definition would be the willful unjustified killing of an innocent human being. From the very beginning, God called it murder when Jesus described Satan as a “murderer from the beginning” (John 8:44). Later, God instructed Moses to write down this law of the heart very plainly when He commanded, “You shall not murder” (Exodus 20:13). In light of this, it is clear that from God’s perspective murder has existed from the beginning of creation and is a universal moral wrong that applies to all people, in all cultures, and in every age in human history.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It could be argued that the term murder is still a legal term in a biblical sense and perhaps in some sense, it is. In other words, God as the supreme law-giver has said, from the beginning that murder was a violation of His law even before it was written down in the Law of Moses. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, it must be noted that not all killing is murder. This is true both in human civil law, and the law of God. In the Bible, God both commanded and allowed killing in areas such as war (Genesis 10-12; Deuteronomy 2:33-34), and the death penalty in civil and moral law (Genesis 9:5-6). Killing is a broader term than murder. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now that we have a clear definition of murder, it is equally important to define the term abortion. Once again, confusion arises because there are various acceptable definitions. &nbsp;A simple dictionary &nbsp;definition (Mirriam-Webster) would be “a medical procedure used to end the pregnancy and cause the death of the fetus.” However, other nuances of the term would include both induced and spontaneous expulsion (miscarriage) of the fetus. However, it is very obvious that a miscarriage and an abortion are two very separate and opposite terms. Though in both cases, a fetus dies, one is voluntary and the other is not. This makes all the difference in the world. If a woman has a miscarriage, neither she, nor anyone else has done anything intentionally to end the life of her child. On the other hand, the medical procedure of abortion to end the life of a child is deliberate (on purpose). \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> Is the fetus a human being? This is also an important part of the discussion, since the fetus would have to be human if killing it were to be considered murder. Biologically, it is clear that it is. If the unborn is growing, it must be alive. From conception, when sperm and egg unite, the embryo grows through cellular reproduction. If the unborn has human parents, it must be human. Human beings reproduce after their own kind. The fetus is not part of a human, but is, in fact, a complete human organism, different than the mother and father. In addition, God has clearly called the unborn human beings, and has stated that life begins at conception. Psalm 139:13-16 states that the unborn are created by Him in the womb and Psalm 51:5 describes the unborn having a sin nature, and being alive at the moment of conception. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So, is abortion murder? The answer is certainly yes. Abortion is the willful and unjustified killing of an unborn child. &nbsp;Regardless if abortion is legal by human government, it is a violation of the universal moral law of God, which supersedes man’s law.

Adem&aacute;s, la mayor&iacute;a de las definiciones legales de la palabra son de naturaleza similar, con diversos grados que se subdividen en asesinato en primer y segundo grado.&nbsp;Aqu&iacute; es donde surge alguna confusi&oacute;n.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Cabe se&ntilde;alar que, seg&uacute;n una definici&oacute;n legal de asesinato, el aborto legal no cumple con los requisitos.&nbsp;En otras palabras, bajo la ley del hombre instituida por el gobierno civil, el aborto no es ilegal y no ser&iacute;a definido como asesinato.&nbsp;Sin embargo, tambi&eacute;n se debe tener en cuenta que la muerte de un ni&ntilde;o a punto de nacer, se puede considerar legalmente como asesinato si hay premeditaci&oacute;n, malicia involucrada y se hace sin autoridad legal (consulte la Ley de Ni&ntilde;os V&iacute;ctimas No Nacidas de 2004- 18 C&oacute;digo de EE. UU. &sect; 1841 - Protecci&oacute;n de ni&ntilde;os por nacer).\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Est&aacute; claro que las definiciones legales cambian con las leyes vigentes.&nbsp;En 1973, el aborto se legaliz&oacute; (con algunos factores reguladores) en todos los EE.

Bolton).&nbsp;Antes de este tiempo, el aborto (con algunas circunstancias limitadas) se consideraba legalmente un delito en muchos estados.&nbsp;Adem&aacute;s, muchos estados incluso consideran que el aborto es ilegal seg&uacute;n las normas de la ley com&uacute;n.&nbsp;Debido a esto, una definici&oacute;n legal estricta no es universal, intemporal o absoluta.&nbsp;Surge un problema cuando estas definiciones legales cambian los principios innegables y aceptados de \"moralidad\". Por ejemplo, en un momento dado, la esclavitud era legal en los Estados Unidos. Eso no significa que estuviera moralmente bien o que deber&iacute;a haber sido legal.&nbsp;Sin embargo, en una &eacute;poca en los Estados Unidos, muchos consideraban que las personas negras eran simplemente propiedad,&nbsp;y sin los mismos derechos que los no negros.&nbsp;Pero, &iquest;significa esto que la naturaleza misma de los esclavos realmente cambi&oacute; dependiendo de la determinaci&oacute;n legal?&nbsp;&iexcl;Por supuesto que no!\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Debe quedar claro, entonces, que existe una definici&oacute;n mucho m&aacute;s precisa de asesinato.&nbsp;Esta definici&oacute;n trasciende la ley del hombre, y est&aacute; determinada por la ley de la naturaleza, el verdadero Dios de la naturaleza y su Palabra.&nbsp;A lo largo de toda la historia, pr&aacute;cticamente todas las civilizaciones entendieron que exist&iacute;a una ley moral universal que todas las personas razonables entend&iacute;an intuitivamente.&nbsp;Hechos como la mentira, el robo y el asesinato est&aacute;n escritos en los corazones de los hombres.&nbsp;Son males irrefutables, universales y absolutos.&nbsp;Pero, &iquest;c&oacute;mo sabemos que estas cosas est&aacute;n mal?&nbsp;Si hay una ley moral innegable, debe haber un legislador moral, uno que debe establecer el est&aacute;ndar.&nbsp;&iquest;Qui&eacute;n podr&iacute;a ser, si no es Dios?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>No es sorprendente que la Santa Biblia declare esta misma verdad.&nbsp;Romanos 2: 12-15 explica c&oacute;mo todos los seres humanos tienen esta br&uacute;jula moral incrustada en sus mentes conscientes.&nbsp;Es el Dios Todopoderoso del universo quien la ha colocado all&iacute;.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Antes de que los humanos escribieran la ley civil, Dios determin&oacute; lo que define el asesinato.&nbsp;Basado en las Escrituras, una definici&oacute;n adecuada ser&iacute;a el asesinato voluntario e injustificado de un ser humano inocente.&nbsp;Desde el principio, Dios lo llam&oacute; asesinato cuando Jes&uacute;s describi&oacute; a Satan&aacute;s como un \"asesino desde el principio\" (Juan 8:44).&nbsp;M&aacute;s tarde, Dios le orden&oacute; a Mois&eacute;s que escribiera esta ley del coraz&oacute;n muy claramente cuando &Eacute;l le orden&oacute;: &ldquo;No matar&aacute;s&rdquo; (&Eacute;xodo 20:13).&nbsp;A la luz de esto, est&aacute; claro que, desde la perspectiva de Dios, el asesinato ha existido desde el principio de la creaci&oacute;n y es un error moral universal que se aplica a todas las personas, en todas las culturas y en todas las &eacute;pocas de la historia humana.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Se podr&iacute;a argumentar que el t&eacute;rmino asesinato sigue siendo un t&eacute;rmino legal&nbsp; un sentido b&iacute;blico y tal vez en cierto sentido lo sea.&nbsp;En otras palabras, Dios como el legislador supremo ha dicho, desde el principio, que el asesinato fue una violaci&oacute;n de Su ley incluso antes de que estuviera escrito en la Ley de Mois&eacute;s.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Por supuesto, hay que tener en cuenta que no todo asesinato es un asesinato.&nbsp;Esto es cierto tanto en la ley civil humana como en la ley de Dios.&nbsp;En la Biblia, Dios orden&oacute; y permiti&oacute; matar en &aacute;reas tales como la guerra (G&eacute;nesis 10-12; Deuteronomio 2: 33-34) y la pena de muerte en la ley civil y moral (G&eacute;nesis 9: 5-6).&nbsp;Matar es un t&eacute;rmino m&aacute;s amplio que el asesinato.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Ahora que tenemos una definici&oacute;n clara de asesinato, es igualmente importante definir el t&eacute;rmino aborto.&nbsp;Una vez m&aacute;s, surge la confusi&oacute;n porque hay varias definiciones aceptables.&nbsp;Una definici&oacute;n de diccionario simple (Mirriam-Webster) ser&iacute;a \"un procedimiento m&eacute;dico utilizado para interrumpir el embarazo y causar la muerte del feto\". Sin embargo, otros matices del t&eacute;rmino incluir&iacute;an la expulsi&oacute;n (aborto involuntario) inducida y espont&aacute;nea del feto.&nbsp;Sin embargo, es muy obvio que un aborto espont&aacute;neo y un aborto son dos t&eacute;rminos muy separados y opuestos.&nbsp;Aunque en ambos casos muere un feto, uno es voluntario y el otro no.&nbsp;Esto hace toda la diferencia en el mundo.&nbsp;Si una mujer tiene un aborto espont&aacute;neo, ni ella ni ninguna otra persona ha hecho algo intencionalmente para poner fin a la vida de su hijo.&nbsp;Por otra parte,\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&iquest;Es el feto un ser humano?&nbsp;Esto tambi&eacute;n es una parte importante de la discusi&oacute;n, ya que el feto tendr&iacute;a que ser humano si matarlo se considerara un asesinato.&nbsp;Biol&oacute;gicamente, est&aacute; claro que lo es.&nbsp;Si el no nacido est&aacute; creciendo, debe estar vivo.&nbsp;Desde la concepci&oacute;n, cuando el esperma y el &oacute;vulo se unen, el embri&oacute;n crece a trav&eacute;s de la reproducci&oacute;n celular.&nbsp;Si el no nacido tiene padres humanos, debe ser humano.&nbsp;Los seres humanos se reproducen seg&uacute;n su propia especie.&nbsp;El feto no es parte de un humano, pero es, de hecho, un organismo humano completo, diferente de la madre y el padre.&nbsp;Adem&aacute;s, Dios claramente ha llamado a los seres humanos no nacidos, y ha declarado que la vida comienza en la concepci&oacute;n.&nbsp;El Salmo 139: 13-16 declara que los no nacidos son creados por &Eacute;l en la matriz y el Salmo 51: 5 describe a los no nacidos que tienen una naturaleza pecaminosa, y que est&aacute;n vivos en el momento de la concepci&oacute;n.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Entonces, &iquest;el aborto es un asesinato?&nbsp;La respuesta es ciertamente s&iacute;.&nbsp;El aborto es el asesinato voluntario e injustificado de un feto.&nbsp;Independientemente de si el aborto es legal por parte del gobierno humano, es una violaci&oacute;n de la ley moral universal de Dios, que reemplaza la ley del hombre.&nbsp;Debe ser evidente, en cualquier aspecto, que el aborto es moralmente incorrecto y un pecado seg&uacute;n el Dios Todopoderoso.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>RECURSOS RECOMENDADOS\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>--- RECURSOS EN L&Iacute;NEA ---\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Blog del Seminario Bautista del Sur - El testimonio de las Escrituras: El aborto es un asesinato.&nbsp;(&nbsp;http:\u002F\u002Fwww.sbts.edu\u002Fblogs\u002F2016\u002F01\u002F22\u002Fthe-witness-of-scripture-abortion-is-murder\u002F&nbsp;)\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&iquest;Preguntas conseguidas - es el asesinato del aborto?&nbsp;(&nbsp;http:\u002F\u002Fwww.gotquestions.org\u002Fis-abortion-murder.html&nbsp;)\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>CARM - &iquest;Es incorrecto el aborto?&nbsp;(&nbsp;https:\u002F\u002Fcarm.org\u002Fabortion-wrong&nbsp;)\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>--- IMPRIMIR RECURSOS ---\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Francis Beckwith - Defending Life (&nbsp;http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0521691354&nbsp;)\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>J.

Inutile de le préciser, il existe des personnes aux deux extrémités du spectre et partout entre les deux lorsqu’il s’agit de savoir si l’avortement constitue ou non un meurtre. Puisque la discussion porte sur une question aussi importante (la question du meurtre), il est extrêmement important d’accorder une réflexion et une considération attentives à cette question capitale.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tout d’abord, il est nécessaire de définir le terme meurtre. Ce qui peut rendre cette question difficile et confuse, c’est que la société accepte diverses définitions du mot meurtre. Le dictionnaire Mirriam-Webster définit le meurtre comme «&nbsp;l’homicide illégal d’un autre être humain avec préméditation malveillante&nbsp;». De plus, la plupart des définitions juridiques du mot sont similaires par nature, avec divers degrés subdivisés en meurtre au premier et au second degré. C’est là que naît une certaine confusion.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il convient de noter que, selon une définition légale du meurtre, l’avortement légal ne répondrait pas aux critères. En d’autres termes, selon la loi humaine instituée par le gouvernement civil, l’avortement n’est pas illégal et ne serait pas défini comme un meurtre. Cependant, il convient également de noter que la mort d’un enfant à naître peut être légalement considérée comme un meurtre s’il y a préméditation, malveillance et si elle est commise sans autorité légale (voir la loi de 2004 sur les victimes non nées – 18 U.S. Code § 1841 – Protection des enfants à naître).\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il est clair que les définitions légales évoluent avec les nouvelles lois. En 1973, l’avortement est devenu légal (avec certains facteurs de régulation) dans tout les États-Unis avec la décision de la Cour suprême dans l’affaire Roe v. Wade (et son affaire connexe Doe v. Bolton). Avant cette époque, l’avortement (sauf dans certaines circonstances limitées) était légalement considéré comme un crime dans de nombreux États. De plus, de nombreux États considéraient même l’avortement comme illégal selon les règles de la common law. Pour cette raison, une définition légale stricte n’est ni universelle, ni intemporelle, ni absolue. Un problème survient lorsque ces définitions légales modifient les principes indéniables et acceptés de la «&nbsp;moralité&nbsp;». Par exemple, à une époque, l’esclavage était légal aux États-Unis. Cela ne signifie pas qu’il était moralement acceptable, ni qu’il aurait dû être légal. Cependant, à une époque aux États-Unis, les personnes noires étaient considérées par beaucoup comme de simples biens, sans les mêmes droits que les non-Noirs. Mais cela signifie-t-il que la nature même des esclaves a changé selon la détermination légale&nbsp;? Bien sûr que non&nbsp;!\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il devrait donc être clair qu’il existe une définition du meurtre bien plus grande et plus précise. Cette définition transcende la loi humaine et est déterminée par la loi de la nature, le vrai Dieu de la nature et Sa Parole. Tout au long de l’histoire, pratiquement toutes les civilisations ont compris qu’il existait une loi morale universelle que tous les êtres raisonnables comprenaient intuitivement. Des actes tels que le mensonge, le vol et le meurtre sont inscrits dans le cœur des hommes. Ce sont des maux irréfutables, universels et absolus. Mais comment savons-nous que ces choses sont mauvaises&nbsp;? S’il existe une loi morale indéniable, il doit y avoir un législateur moral, quelqu’un qui doit établir la norme. Qui pourrait-ce être, sinon Dieu&nbsp;?\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il n’est pas surprenant que la Sainte Bible déclare cette même vérité. Romains 2:12-15 explique comment tous les êtres humains possèdent cette boussole morale ancrée dans leur conscience. C’est le Dieu tout-puissant de l’univers qui l’y a placée. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Avant même que les humains n’aient écrit la loi civile, Dieu a déterminé ce qui définit le meurtre. Selon l’Écriture, une définition appropriée serait l’homicide volontaire et injustifié d’un être humain innocent. Dès le commencement, Dieu a qualifié de meurtre ce que Jésus a décrit en parlant de Satan comme d’un «&nbsp;meurtrier dès le commencement&nbsp;» (Jean 8:44). Plus tard, Dieu a ordonné à Moïse d’écrire clairement cette loi du cœur lorsqu’Il a commandé&nbsp;: «&nbsp;Tu ne commettras point de meurtre&nbsp;» (Exode 20:13). À la lumière de cela, il est clair que, du point de vue de Dieu, le meurtre existe depuis le commencement de la création et constitue un mal moral universel qui s’applique à tous les peuples, dans toutes les cultures et à toutes les époques de l’histoire humaine.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On pourrait soutenir que le terme meurtre reste un terme légal au sens biblique et, dans une certaine mesure, c’est peut-être le cas. En d’autres termes, Dieu, en tant que législateur suprême, a déclaré dès le commencement que le meurtre constituait une violation de Sa loi, même avant qu’elle ne soit consignée dans la Loi de Moïse. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Il convient bien sûr de noter que tout homicide n’est pas un meurtre. Cela est vrai tant dans le droit civil humain que dans la loi de Dieu. Dans la Bible, Dieu a à la fois ordonné et permis l’homicide dans des domaines tels que la guerre (Genèse 10-12&nbsp;; Deutéronome 2:33-34) et la peine capitale dans le droit civil et moral (Genèse 9:5-6). L’homicide est un terme plus large que le meurtre. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Maintenant que nous avons une définition claire du meurtre, il est tout aussi important de définir le terme avortement. Là encore, la confusion naît parce qu’il existe diverses définitions acceptables. Une définition simple de dictionnaire (Mirriam-Webster) serait «&nbsp;une procédure médicale utilisée pour mettre fin à la grossesse et provoquer la mort du fœtus&nbsp;». Cependant, d’autres nuances du terme incluraient à la fois l’expulsion provoquée et spontanée (fausse couche) du fœtus. Il est cependant très évident qu’une fausse couche et un avortement sont deux termes distincts et opposés. Bien que dans les deux cas un fœtus meure, l’un est volontaire et l’autre ne l’est pas. Cela fait toute la différence au monde. Si une femme fait une fausse couche, ni elle ni quiconque n’a rien fait intentionnellement pour mettre fin à la vie de son enfant. En revanche, la procédure médicale d’avortement visant à mettre fin à la vie d’un enfant est délibérée (volontaire). \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>Est-ce que le fœtus est un être humain ? Cela fait également partie intégrante de la discussion, car le fœtus devrait être humain pour que le fait de le tuer soit considéré comme un meurtre. Biologiquement, il est clair qu’il l’est. Si l’enfant à naître grandit, il doit être vivant. Dès la conception, lorsque le spermatozoïde et l’ovule s’unissent, l’embryon se développe par reproduction cellulaire. Si l’enfant à naître a des parents humains, il doit être humain. Les êtres humains se reproduisent selon leur propre espèce. Le fœtus n’est pas une partie d’un être humain, mais constitue en réalité un organisme humain complet, différent de la mère et du père. De plus, Dieu a clairement désigné les enfants à naître comme des êtres humains et a déclaré que la vie commence à la conception. Le Psaume 139:13-16 affirme que les enfants à naître sont créés par Lui dans le sein maternel, et le Psaume 51:5 décrit l’enfant à naître comme possédant une nature pécheresse et étant vivant dès le moment de la conception. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ainsi, l’avortement est-il un meurtre ? La réponse est certainement oui. L’avortement est le meurtre volontaire et injustifié d’un enfant à naître. &nbsp;Que l’avortement soit légal selon le gouvernement humain ou non, il constitue une violation de la loi morale universelle de Dieu, qui prime sur la loi humaine. Il va sans dire que, quoi qu’il en soit, l’avortement est moralement répréhensible et constitue un péché aux yeux de Dieu Tout-Puissant. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>RESSOURCES RECOMMANDÉES\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>--- RESSOURCES EN LIGNE ---\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Blog du Séminaire Baptiste du Sud – Le témoignage des Écritures : l’avortement est un meurtre.

One of the main reasons for this is because it is directly related to the abortion debate. It would be impossible to determine if abortion is morally right or wrong, or whether or not it should be legal without first determining when human life begins.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To begin with, it is important to understand what specific question is being asked by “When does human life begin?” &nbsp;It could mean, &nbsp;“When does biological life begin?” It could also mean, &nbsp;“When do human organisms attain basic human rights or value?” The second question is philosophical as it deals with the rights and value of the organism. However, when biological life begins is a purely scientific issue. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Biologically, the answer is clear. Life begins at conception. But what proof is there of this? &nbsp;Consider these logical points: If the unborn is growing, it must be alive. Dead things do not grow. From the moment of conception, a human fetus grows through cellular reproduction and division. Also, during later stages of development, the human fetus can react to external stimuli and metabolize food for energy. &nbsp;Have you ever heard of something that is not alive that can react to external stimuli or metabolize food for energy? If you find yourself thinking, “Sure… but animals and trees are alive also!” you would be right! Life exists in many forms, but here, the focus is on human life.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If the parents of the unborn organism in question are human beings, wouldn’t that make the unborn being in question also human? The Law of Biogenesis states that each living thing reproduces after its own kind. It is clearly true that two human parents can’t produce something that is not human. &nbsp;Also, it is impossible for human parents to produce something that it is not initially human but only becomes human at a later point in time. &nbsp;Te only option left is that the unborn fetus conceived by two human parents must be human. &nbsp;It could not be a tree, or another kind of animal. &nbsp;The unborn child has the DNA that is completely unique to the human species. All credible embryology textbooks will confirm this. For example, Langman’s &nbsp;Medical Embryology, 12th Edition states, “Development begins at fertilization, the process by which male gamete, the sperm, and the female gamete, the oocyte, unite to give rise to a zygote” (pg. 10). \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Despite this line of reasoning, there are some that argue that while the fetus of human parents is indeed human tissue with human DNA, the fetus is no different than the sperm or eggs that also contain human DNA. &nbsp;But this view is obviously not correct. There is clearly a &nbsp;scientific difference between the two. It is true that sperm and eggs are made up of human substance and DNA, but they are not a whole complete human organism. In fact, a sperm and an egg are only functional parts of male and female organisms. At the moment of fertilization, the sperm and the egg no longer &nbsp;exist and a new and unique organism begins to exist. Also, after the time of fertilization, there is no additional DNA or essential material that is added to the unborn fetus. &nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So despite what some would say, there is a clear scientific argument for when life actually begins. &nbsp;But what does the Bible say about when life begins? Does the Bible go against science? There are certainly many who argue that this is the case, But these individuals are incorrect. &nbsp;The Bible doesn’t, and never has, &nbsp;contradicted true science. &nbsp;On the contrary, The Bible actually validates true science. &nbsp;According to God and His Word, human life begins at conception, just as we observe in biology. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There are several biblical passages that unmistakably show that God views unborn babies as human beings. Unborn babies are called “children,” the same word used for already born infants and young children (Luke 1:41, 44; 2:12, 16; Exod. 21:22). The unborn are created by God (Ps. 139:13) just as God created Adam and Eve in His image (Gen. 1:27). The life of the unborn is protected by the same punishment for injury or death as that of an adult (Exod. 21:22; Gen. 9:6). Unborn children possess personal emotions such as joy that are distinctive to humans (Luke1:44) . &nbsp;Personal pronouns are also used to describe unborn children (Jer. 1:5; Matt. 1:20-21). Finally, the unborn are known personally and intimately by God just as He knows all other people (Ps. 139:15-16; Jer. 1:5).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What about those that claim that while God does consider the unborn to be humans, they are not alive humans until sometime after conception (more specifically after birth)? The most common passage used to support this is Genesis 2:7 which says, “Then the&nbsp;Lord&nbsp;God formed man of&nbsp;dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and&nbsp;man became a living being.” These individuals argue that the unborn do not become a “living being” until they are born because it was at birth that God ‘breathed” the breath of life into them. However, this line of thought is built on a couple of serious logical errors. &nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>First, the creation of Adam and Eve was a intensely unique situation. &nbsp;Adam was the only human who was ever created with a mature body from the dust of the earth. &nbsp;Eve was equally unique being created from Adam’s rib. Because these verses apply specifically to that unique situaiton, they can’t be applied to unborn children. &nbsp;Second, the Bible describes humans as being alive in the womb before birth, even at the moment of conception. For example, Psalm 51:5 describes King David being alive at the moment of conception. In this passage, the Psalmist writes “Behold, I was&nbsp;brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.” Further, Matthew 1:20 states, “But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, ‘Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for&nbsp;the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.’” In addition, while it is true that an unborn baby does not breathe in one sense, the process of breathing through the transfer of oxygen from the mother does occur. It is simply a different way to “breathe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When all these things are considered, it is clear that both biology and the Bible support the scientific truth that human life does indeed begin at conception. This is a very important truth. But why? Because, as Greg Koukl (a Christian apologist) once said, before you can answer the question, “Can I kill this,” you must first answer the all-important question, “what is it?” This could not be more true than it is in the debate surrounding abortion. How can anyone truly know whether it is morally right or wrong to kill the unborn unless we first know what it that is being killed?

Estas personas argumentan que los no nacidos no se convierten en un\" ser vivo \"hasta que nacen porque fue al nacer que Dios les dio el aliento de vida.&nbsp;Sin embargo, esta l&iacute;nea de pensamiento se basa en un par de errores l&oacute;gicos graves. &nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Primero, la creaci&oacute;n de Ad&aacute;n y Eva fue una situaci&oacute;n intensamente &uacute;nica.&nbsp;Ad&aacute;n fue el &uacute;nico humano que fue creado con un cuerpo maduro del polvo de la tierra.&nbsp;Eva fue igualmente &uacute;nica al ser creada a partir de la costilla de Ad&aacute;n.&nbsp;Debido a que estos vers&iacute;culos se aplican espec&iacute;ficamente a esa situaci&oacute;n &uacute;nica, no se pueden aplicar a ni&ntilde;os no nacidos.&nbsp;En segundo lugar, la Biblia describe a los humanos como vivos en el &uacute;tero antes del nacimiento, incluso en el momento de la concepci&oacute;n.&nbsp;Por ejemplo, el Salmo 51: 5 describe al rey David estando vivo en el momento de la concepci&oacute;n.&nbsp;En este pasaje, el salmista escribe: \"He aqu&iacute;, yo nac&iacute; en maldad, y en pecado me concibi&oacute; mi madre\".

Adem&aacute;s, si bien es cierto que un beb&eacute; no nato, no respira en un sentido, ocurre el proceso de respirar a trav&eacute;s de la transferencia de ox&iacute;geno de la madre.

L’une des principales raisons en est qu’elle est directement liée au débat sur l’avortement.

La vie commence à la conception. Mais quelles preuves en avons-nous ? Considérons ces points logiques : si l’être à naître grandit, il doit être vivant. Les choses mortes ne grandissent pas. Dès le moment de la conception, le fœtus humain grandit par reproduction et division cellulaire. De plus, aux stades ultérieurs du développement, le fœtus humain peut réagir à des stimuli externes et métaboliser des aliments pour produire de l’énergie. Avez-vous déjà entendu parler d’une chose qui n’est pas vivante et qui peut réagir à des stimuli externes ou métaboliser des aliments pour produire de l’énergie ? Si vous vous dites : « Bien sûr… mais les animaux et les arbres sont aussi vivants ! », vous auriez raison ! La vie existe sous de nombreuses formes, mais ici, l’accent est mis sur la vie humaine.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Si les parents de l’organisme à naître en question sont des êtres humains, cela ne rend-il pas l’être à naître également humain ? La loi de la biogenèse stipule que chaque être vivant se reproduit selon son espèce. Il est clair que deux parents humains ne peuvent pas produire quelque chose qui n’est pas humain. De plus, il est impossible pour des parents humains de produire quelque chose qui ne serait pas initialement humain mais qui ne le deviendrait qu’à un stade ultérieur. La seule option restante est que le fœtus conçu par deux parents humains soit humain. Il ne pourrait pas être un arbre ni une autre espèce animale. L’enfant à naître possède un ADN entièrement unique à l’espèce humaine. Tous les manuels d’embryologie crédibles le confirment. Par exemple, Langman’s Medical Embryology, 12e édition, affirme : « Le développement commence à la fécondation, le processus par lequel le gamète mâle, le spermatozoïde, et le gamète femelle, l’ovocyte, s’unissent pour donner naissance à un zygote » (p. 10).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Malgré ce raisonnement, certains soutiennent que, bien que le fœtus de parents humains soit bien un tissu humain doté d’un ADN humain, il ne diffère en rien des spermatozoïdes ou des ovules qui contiennent également de l’ADN humain. Mais cette opinion est manifestement incorrecte. Il existe clairement une différence scientifique entre les deux. Il est vrai que les spermatozoïdes et les ovules sont composés de substance humaine et d’ADN, mais ils ne constituent pas un organisme humain complet et entier. En fait, un spermatozoïde et un ovule ne sont que des parties fonctionnelles d’organismes mâle et femelle. Au moment de la fécondation, le spermatozoïde et l’ovule cessent d’exister et un nouvel organisme unique commence à exister. De plus, après la fécondation, aucun ADN ni matériel essentiel supplémentaire n’est ajouté au fœtus.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ainsi, malgré ce que certains pourraient dire, il existe un argument scientifique clair sur le moment où la vie commence réellement. Mais que dit la Bible sur le début de la vie ? La Bible va-t-elle à l’encontre de la science ? Beaucoup prétendent que c’est le cas, mais ces personnes ont tort. La Bible n’a jamais contredit la vraie science. Au contraire, la Bible valide la vraie science. Selon Dieu et Sa Parole, la vie humaine commence à la conception, tout comme nous l’observons en biologie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Plusieurs passages bibliques montrent sans équivoque que Dieu considère les bébés à naître comme des êtres humains. Les bébés à naître sont appelés « enfants », le même mot utilisé pour les nourrissons et les jeunes enfants déjà nés (Luc 1:41, 44 ; 2:12, 16 ; Exod. 21:22). Les êtres à naître sont créés par Dieu (Ps. 139:13), tout comme Dieu a créé Adam et Ève à Son image (Gen. 1:27). La vie des êtres à naître est protégée par la même peine en cas de blessure ou de mort que celle d’un adulte (Exod. 21:22 ; Gen. 9:6). Les enfants à naître possèdent des émotions personnelles telles que la joie, qui sont propres aux humains (Luc 1:44). Des pronoms personnels sont également utilisés pour décrire les enfants à naître (Jér. 1:5 ; Matt. 1:20-21). Enfin, les êtres à naître sont connus personnellement et intimement par Dieu, tout comme Il connaît toutes les autres personnes (Ps. 139:15-16 ; Jér. 1:5).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Que dire de ceux qui affirment que, bien que Dieu considère les êtres à naître comme des humains, ils ne sont pas des humains vivants avant un certain temps après la conception (plus précisément après la naissance) ? Le passage le plus souvent invoqué pour soutenir cette idée est Genèse 2:7, qui dit : « L’Éternel Dieu forma l’homme de la poussière du sol, souffla dans ses narines un souffle de vie, et l’homme devint un être vivant. » Ces personnes soutiennent que les êtres à naître ne deviennent un « être vivant » qu’à leur naissance, car c’est à la naissance que Dieu leur a « insufflé » le souffle de vie. Cependant, ce raisonnement repose sur plusieurs erreurs logiques graves.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>D'abord, la création d'Adam et Ève était une situation intensément unique. &nbsp;Adam fut le seul être humain à avoir jamais été créé avec un corps mature à partir de la poussière de la terre. &nbsp;Ève fut tout aussi unique, ayant été créée à partir de la côte d'Adam. Parce que ces versets s'appliquent spécifiquement à cette situation unique, ils ne peuvent pas être appliqués aux enfants à naître. &nbsp;Deuxièmement, la Bible décrit les humains comme étant vivants dans le sein maternel avant la naissance, même au moment de la conception. Par exemple, le Psaume 51:5 décrit le roi David comme étant vivant au moment de la conception. Dans ce passage, le psalmiste écrit : « Voici, j'ai été formé dans l'iniquité, Et dans le péché ma mère m'a conçu. » De plus, Matthieu 1:20 déclare : « Mais pendant qu'il y pensait, voici, un ange du Seigneur lui apparut en songe, et dit : Joseph, fils de David, ne crains pas de prendre Marie pour femme, car l'enfant qu'elle a conçu est du Saint-Esprit. » En outre, bien qu'il soit vrai qu'un bébé à naître ne respire pas dans un sens, le processus de respiration par le transfert d'oxygène de la mère se produit bel et bien. C'est simplement une façon différente de « respirer. »\n\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Quand on considère toutes ces choses, il est clair que la biologie et la Bible soutiennent la vérité scientifique selon laquelle la vie humaine commence bien à la conception. C'est une vérité très importante. Mais pourquoi ? Parce que, comme l'a dit un jour Greg Koukl (un apologiste chrétien), avant de pouvoir répondre à la question « Puis-je tuer ceci », il faut d'abord répondre à la question primordiale : « Qu'est-ce que c'est ? » Cela ne pourrait être plus vrai que dans le débat entourant l'avortement. Comment quelqu'un peut-il vraiment savoir s'il est moralement juste ou non de tuer l'enfant à naître si nous ne savons pas d'abord ce qui est tué ? Si la vie humaine commence à la conception, on peut conclure en toute sécurité que tuer l'enfant à naître lors d'un avortement, que ce soit chirurgicalement ou chimiquement, est moralement répréhensible. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\n\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>RESSOURCES RECOMMANDÉES \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>--- RESSOURCES EN LIGNE ---\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Life Training Institute – \u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fprolifetraining.com\">http:\u002F\u002Fprolifetraining.com\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Stand to Reason – \u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.str.org\u002FSearch?q=abortion\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.str.org\u002FSearch?q=abortion\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Abortion Unfiltered – \u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.abort73.com\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.abort73.com\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>--- RESSOURCES IMPRIMÉES ---\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Randy Alcorn - ProLife Answers to ProChoice Arguments (\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F1576737519\">http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F1576737519\u003C\u002Fa>)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Scott Klusendorf - The Case For Life (\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002FB00294YEJI\">http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002FB00294YEJI\u003C\u002Fa>)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>--- RESSOURCES MÉDIATIQUES ---\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Greg Koukl- Making Abortion Unthinkable (DVD) (\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F193083604X\">http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F193083604X\u003C\u002Fa>)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>","\n\n인간의 생명은 언제 시작되나요?","\u003Cp>인간의 생명이 언제 시작되는지는 특히 최근에 많은 논란과 논쟁의 초점이 되어온 질문입니다. 그 주된 이유 중 하나는 이 질문이 낙태 논쟁과 직접적으로 연관되어 있기 때문입니다. 낙태가 도덕적으로 옳은지 그른지, 또는 합법화되어야 하는지 여부를 결정하려면 먼저 인간의 생명이 언제 시작되는지를 정하는 것이 불가피합니다.\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>우선 “인간의 생명이 언제 시작되는가?”라는 질문이 구체적으로 무엇을 묻는 것인지 이해하는 것이 중요합니다. 이는 “생물학적 생명이 언제 시작되는가?”를 의미할 수도 있고, “인간 유기체가 언제 기본적인 인간의 권리나 가치를 획득하는가?”를 의미할 수도 있습니다. 두 번째 질문은 유기체의 권리와 가치를 다루는 철학적 질문입니다. 그러나 생물학적 생명이 언제 시작되는지는 순수하게 과학적인 문제입니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>생물학적으로 답은 명확합니다. 생명은 수정 순간에 시작됩니다. 이에 대한 증거는 무엇일까요? 다음 논리적 요점들을 고려해 보십시오: 태아가 성장하고 있다면, 그것은 살아 있는 것입니다. 죽은 것은 성장하지 않습니다. 수정 순간부터 인간 태아는 세포 재생산과 분열을 통해 성장합니다. 또한 발달 후기 단계에서 인간 태아는 외부 자극에 반응하고 음식을 대사하여 에너지를 얻을 수 있습니다. 외부 자극에 반응하거나 음식을 대사하여 에너지를 얻을 수 있는 살아 있지 않은 것이 있다는 말을 들어 본 적이 있습니까? “물론… 하지만 동물과 나무도 살아 있잖아!”라고 생각하신다면, 맞는 말씀입니다! 생명은 여러 형태로 존재하지만, 여기서는 인간의 생명에 초점을 맞추고 있습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>문제의 태아 부모가 인간이라면, 그 태아도 인간이 아닐까요? 생물 발생 법칙은 모든 생물이 자기 종류대로 번식한다고 명시합니다. 두 인간 부모가 인간이 아닌 것을 생산할 수 없다는 것은 분명합니다. 또한 인간 부모가 처음에는 인간이 아니었다가 나중에 인간이 되는 것을 생산하는 것은 불가능합니다. 유일하게 남은 가능성은 두 인간 부모에게서 수정된 태아가 인간이라는 것입니다. 그것은 나무이거나 다른 종류의 동물이 될 수 없습니다. 태아는 인간 종에 완전히 고유한 DNA를 가지고 있습니다. 모든 신뢰할 수 있는 발생학 교과서가 이를 확인해 줍니다. 예를 들어, Langman의 Medical Embryology, 12판은 “발달은 수정에서 시작되며, 이는 남성 생식세포인 정자와 여성 생식세포인 난자가 결합하여 접합체를 형성하는 과정이다”(10쪽)라고 명시합니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>이러한 논리에도 불구하고, 인간 부모의 태아가 인간 조직과 인간 DNA를 가지고 있기는 하지만, 태아는 인간 DNA를 포함하는 정자나 난자와 다를 바 없다고 주장하는 사람들이 있습니다. 그러나 이 견해는 분명히 옳지 않습니다. 둘 사이에는 명백한 과학적 차이가 있습니다. 정자와 난자가 인간 물질과 DNA로 구성되어 있는 것은 사실이지만, 그것들은 완전한 인간 유기체가 아닙니다. 사실 정자와 난자는 남성과 여성 유기체의 기능적 부분일 뿐입니다. 수정 순간에 정자와 난자는 더 이상 존재하지 않고, 새롭고 고유한 유기체가 존재하기 시작합니다. 또한 수정 이후에는 태아에 추가적인 DNA나 필수 물질이 더해지지 않습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>따라서 일부 사람들이 말하는 것과 달리, 생명이 실제로 언제 시작되는지에 대한 명확한 과학적 주장이 있습니다. 그렇다면 성경은 생명이 언제 시작되는지에 대해 무엇이라고 말할까요? 성경이 과학에 반대할까요? 이를 주장하는 사람들이 분명히 많지만, 그들은 잘못된 것입니다. 성경은 진정한 과학과 모순된 적이 없으며, 앞으로도 그럴 것입니다. 오히려 성경은 진정한 과학을 뒷받침합니다. 하나님과 그분의 말씀에 따르면, 인간의 생명은 생물학에서 관찰되는 바와 같이 수정 순간에 시작됩니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>하나님께서 태아를 인간으로 보신다는 것을 분명히 보여주는 성경 구절들이 여러 개 있습니다. 태아는 이미 태어난 유아와 어린아이들에게 사용되는 것과 동일한 단어인 “아이”로 불립니다(눅 1:41, 44; 2:12, 16; 출 21:22). 태아는 하나님이 창조하신 존재이며(시 139:13), 하나님께서 아담과 하와를 자신의 형상대로 창조하신 것과 같습니다(창 1:27). 태아의 생명은 성인과 동일한 상해 또는 사망에 대한 처벌로 보호받습니다(출 21:22; 창 9:6). 태아는 인간에게만 있는 기쁨과 같은 개인적인 감정을 가지고 있습니다(눅 1:44). 또한 태아를 가리키는 인칭 대명사가 사용됩니다(렘 1:5; 마 1:20-21). 마지막으로, 태아는 하나님이 다른 모든 사람을 아시는 것처럼 하나님께서 개인적으로 그리고 친밀하게 아시는 존재입니다(시 139:15-16; 렘 1:5).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>하나님께서 태아를 인간으로 여기시지만, 수정 이후(더 구체적으로 출생 이후) 어느 시점까지는 살아 있는 인간이 아니라고 주장하는 사람들은 어떨까요? 이를 뒷받침하는 데 가장 흔히 사용되는 구절은 창세기 2:7로, “여호와 하나님이 땅의 흙으로 사람을 지으시고 생기를 그 코에 불어넣으시니 사람이 생령이 되니라”고 말합니다. 이들은 태아가 태어날 때 하나님이 그들에게 ‘생명의 호흡’을 불어넣으셨기 때문에 “생령”이 되지 않는다고 주장합니다. 그러나 이러한 생각은 몇 가지 심각한 논리적 오류에 기반하고 있습니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>먼저, 아담과 하와의 창조는 매우 독특한 상황이었습니다.&nbsp;아담은 흙으로부터 성숙한 몸으로 창조된 유일한 인간이었습니다.&nbsp;하와는 아담의 갈비뼈로부터 창조되었다는 점에서 똑같이 독특했습니다. 이 구절들은 그 독특한 상황에만 적용되기 때문에 태아에게 적용될 수 없습니다.&nbsp;둘째, 성경은 인간이 출생 전 자궁 안에서도 살아 있으며, 심지어 수태 순간부터 살아 있다고 묘사합니다. 예를 들어, 시편 51:5은 다윗 왕이 수태 순간에 살아 있었음을 묘사합니다. 이 구절에서 시편 기자는 “보소서 내가&nbsp;죄악 중에 출생하였음이여 어머니가 죄 중에 나를 잉태하였나이다”라고 기록합니다. 또한 마태복음 1:20은 “그가 이 일을 생각할 때에 주의 사자가 꿈에 나타나 이르되 다윗의 자손 요셉아 네 아내 마리아 데려오기를 무서워하지 말라 그&nbsp;에게 잉태된 자는 성령으로 된 것이라”고 말합니다. 또한, 태아가 한 가지 의미에서 숨을 쉬지 않는 것은 사실이지만, 어머니로부터 산소가 전달되는 호흡 과정은 실제로 일어납니다. 그것은 단순히 다른 방식으로 “숨을 쉬는” 것입니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>이 모든 것을 고려할 때, 생물학과 성경 모두 인간의 생명이 수태 시점부터 시작된다는 과학적 진리를 뒷받침한다는 것이 분명합니다. 이는 매우 중요한 진리입니다. 그러나 왜 그럴까요? 그렉 쿠클(기독교 변증가)이 한때 말했듯이, “이것을 죽일 수 있는가?”라는 질문에 답하기 전에 먼저 가장 중요한 질문인 “그것이 무엇인가?”에 답해야 하기 때문입니다. 이것은 낙태를 둘러싼 논쟁에서 그 어느 때보다도 사실입니다. 우리가 죽이려는 것이 무엇인지 먼저 알지 않고서는 태아를 죽이는 것이 도덕적으로 옳은지 그른지 어떻게 진정으로 알 수 있겠습니까? 만약 인간의 생명이 수태 시점부터 시작된다면, 낙태로 태아를 죽이는 것은 수술적이든 화학적이든 도덕적으로 잘못되었다고 안전하게 결론지을 수 있습니다.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>추천 자료 \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>--- 온라인 자료 ---\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Life Training Institute – \u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fprolifetraining.com\">http:\u002F\u002Fprolifetraining.com\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Stand to Reason – \u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.str.org\u002FSearch?q=abortion\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.str.org\u002FSearch?q=abortion\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Abortion Unfiltered – \u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.abort73.com\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.abort73.com\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>--- 인쇄 자료 ---\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Randy Alcorn - ProLife Answers to ProChoice Arguments (\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F1576737519\">http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F1576737519\u003C\u002Fa>)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Scott Klusendorf - The Case For Life (\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002FB00294YEJI\">http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002FB00294YEJI\u003C\u002Fa>)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>--- 미디어 자료 ---\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Greg Koukl- Making Abortion Unthinkable (DVD) (\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F193083604X\">http:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F193083604X\u003C\u002Fa>)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>",{"id":2447,"title":2448,"description":2449,"featured":50,"transcript":190,"subtitle":2450,"playerembed":2451,"category_id":761,"slug":2452,"answertype":531,"created_at":751,"updated_at":2453,"thumbnail":2454,"embed_thumbnail":2454,"embed_icon":503,"title_es":2455,"description_es":2456,"playerembed_es":18,"transcript_es":18,"title_fr":2457,"description_fr":2458,"playerembed_fr":18,"transcript_fr":18,"title_ko":2459,"description_ko":2460,"playerembed_ko":18,"transcript_ko":18,"question_id":18,"category_slug":2408,"category_name":-1},108,"Is Abortion a Good Option?","\u003Cp>In 1973, the Supreme Court case of Roe v.

Now, this is a reliable method for measuring absolute ages of rocks and the age of the earth, right?&nbsp; Huh!&nbsp; First off, many scientists now regard the age of the earth to be between 4.55 and 4.6 billion years old.&nbsp; Okay.&nbsp; So if this method is reliable and accurate, why the 50 million year discrepancy?&nbsp; And that seems like a lot.&nbsp; But let’s get into some details here and see what’s going on.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Keep in mind that there’s all kinds of scientific jargon on this topic and so we’ll just present a very straightforward simplified version of the process.&nbsp; Radiometric dating is the process of estimating the ages of rocks based on the decay of radioactive elements in them.&nbsp; Basically there are certain kinds of atoms in nature that are unstable and spontaneously decay into other kinds of atoms.&nbsp; For instance, uranium will radioactively decay through a series of steps until it becomes the stable element called lead.&nbsp; The original element is called the parent element and the end result is called the daughter element.&nbsp; Radioisotope dating is commonly used to date igneous rocks, rocks which formed when hot molten material cooled and solidified.&nbsp; The dating clock started when the rock cooled.&nbsp; During the molten state, it is assumed that the intense heat forced any gaseous daughter elements to escape.&nbsp; It is assumed that once the rock cooled, no more atoms escaped and any daughter element now found in the rock is a result of radioactive decay since that rock formed.&nbsp; The decay rate is measured in terms of half-life.&nbsp; That is the length of time it takes half of the remaining atoms of a radioactive parent element to decay.&nbsp; Now, of course, that can be measured in a laboratory and it is assumed that since we know the decay rate, we can calculate backwards and come up with the age of the rock.&nbsp; But is that all there is to it?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Here’s where it gets tricky.&nbsp; It’s true, we can measure a decay rate using observational science but there’s another kind of science that is required to accurately calculate dates for rocks and that is what we call historical science.&nbsp; Historical science deals with the things in the past and, therefore, cannot be repeated and tested.&nbsp; Dating methods require both types of science because in order to get accurate rock dates, one would have to accurately know both the decay rate and the initial conditions of the rock sample, right?&nbsp; Since radioisotope dating uses both types of science, we can’t directly measure the ages of rock.&nbsp; There are assumptions involved.&nbsp; For instance, how do we know what the initial conditions were in the rock sample?&nbsp; How do we know the amounts of parent or daughter elements now in that sample haven’t been altered by other processes in the past?&nbsp; How does someone know the decay rate has remained constant since the rock formed?&nbsp; The answer is, they don’t.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Let’s simplify here and talk about a typical hourglass.&nbsp; Let’s say you walk into a room and you see an hourglass with sand at the top and the sand at the bottom and some sand sprinkling from the top chamber to the bottom.&nbsp; Well, observational science would allow us to see and measure the sand and then calculate how long the hourglass has been running, right?&nbsp; We can make our sand measurements and then calculate when the hourglass was turned over, right?&nbsp; Well, those calculations could be wrong because we may have failed to consider some major assumptions like was there any sand at the bottom when the hourglass was turned over?&nbsp; Has any sand been added or taken out of the hourglass?&nbsp; Has the sand always been falling at a constant rate?&nbsp; Since we did not observe the initial conditions when the hourglass started and we haven’t been watching the sand all the time since then, we must make assumptions.&nbsp; All three of those assumptions can affect our time calculations.&nbsp; Now, of course, there’s more to understanding all of this, but enough said.\u003C\u002Fp>","Radiometric dating proves that the earth is millions upon millions of years old – or does it?

Ahora bien, ¿este es un método fiable para medir las edades absolutas de las rocas y la edad de la Tierra, verdad?&nbsp; ¡Ja!&nbsp; En primer lugar, muchos científicos consideran ahora que la edad de la Tierra está entre 4,55 y 4,6 mil millones de años.&nbsp; Bien.&nbsp; Entonces, si este método es fiable y preciso, ¿por qué la discrepancia de 50 millones de años?&nbsp; Y eso parece mucho.&nbsp; Pero entremos en algunos detalles aquí y veamos qué está pasando.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Tenga en cuenta que hay todo tipo de jerga científica sobre este tema, así que presentaremos una versión muy sencilla y directa del proceso.&nbsp; La datación radiométrica es el proceso de estimar las edades de las rocas basándose en la desintegración de elementos radiactivos en ellas.&nbsp; Básicamente, hay ciertos tipos de átomos en la naturaleza que son inestables y se desintegran espontáneamente en otros tipos de átomos.&nbsp; Por ejemplo, el uranio se desintegrará radiactivamente a través de una serie de pasos hasta convertirse en el elemento estable llamado plomo.&nbsp; El elemento original se llama elemento padre y el resultado final se llama elemento hijo.&nbsp; La datación por radioisótopos se utiliza comúnmente para datar rocas ígneas, rocas que se formaron cuando el material fundido caliente se enfrió y solidificó.&nbsp; El reloj de datación comenzó cuando la roca se enfrió.&nbsp; Durante el estado fundido, se supone que el intenso calor obligó a escapar a cualquier elemento hijo gaseoso.&nbsp; Se supone que una vez que la roca se enfrió, no escaparon más átomos y cualquier elemento hijo que ahora se encuentre en la roca es el resultado de la desintegración radiactiva desde que se formó esa roca.&nbsp; La tasa de desintegración se mide en términos de vida media.&nbsp; Ese es el tiempo que tarda la mitad de los átomos restantes de un elemento padre radiactivo en desintegrarse.&nbsp; Ahora bien, por supuesto, eso se puede medir en un laboratorio y se supone que, como conocemos la tasa de desintegración, podemos calcular hacia atrás y obtener la edad de la roca.&nbsp; Pero ¿es eso todo?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Aquí es donde se complica.&nbsp; Es cierto, podemos medir una tasa de desintegración utilizando la ciencia observacional, pero hay otro tipo de ciencia que se requiere para calcular con precisión las fechas de las rocas y es lo que llamamos ciencia histórica.&nbsp; La ciencia histórica trata de las cosas del pasado y, por lo tanto, no se puede repetir ni probar.&nbsp; Los métodos de datación requieren ambos tipos de ciencia porque para obtener fechas precisas de las rocas, uno tendría que conocer con precisión tanto la tasa de desintegración como las condiciones iniciales de la muestra de roca, ¿verdad?&nbsp; Dado que la datación por radioisótopos utiliza ambos tipos de ciencia, no podemos medir directamente las edades de las rocas.&nbsp; Hay suposiciones involucradas.&nbsp; Por ejemplo, ¿cómo sabemos cuáles fueron las condiciones iniciales en la muestra de roca?&nbsp; ¿Cómo sabemos que las cantidades de elementos padre o hijo que ahora están en esa muestra no han sido alteradas por otros procesos en el pasado?&nbsp; ¿Cómo sabe alguien que la tasa de desintegración ha permanecido constante desde que se formó la roca?&nbsp; La respuesta es que no lo saben.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Simplifiquemos aquí y hablemos de un reloj de arena típico.&nbsp; Digamos que entras en una habitación y ves un reloj de arena con arena en la parte superior y arena en la parte inferior y algo de arena cayendo de la cámara superior a la inferior.&nbsp; Bueno, la ciencia observacional nos permitiría ver y medir la arena y luego calcular cuánto tiempo ha estado funcionando el reloj de arena, ¿verdad?&nbsp; Podemos hacer nuestras mediciones de arena y luego calcular cuándo se volteó el reloj de arena, ¿verdad?&nbsp; Bueno, esos cálculos podrían estar equivocados porque es posible que no hayamos considerado algunas suposiciones importantes como ¿había arena en la parte inferior cuando se volteó el reloj de arena?&nbsp; ¿Se ha agregado o quitado arena del reloj de arena?&nbsp; ¿La arena siempre ha estado cayendo a una velocidad constante?&nbsp; Dado que no observamos las condiciones iniciales cuando comenzó el reloj de arena y no hemos estado observando la arena todo el tiempo desde entonces, debemos hacer suposiciones.&nbsp; Las tres de esas suposiciones pueden afectar nuestros cálculos de tiempo.&nbsp; Ahora bien, por supuesto, hay más para entender todo esto, pero basta con decirlo.\u003C\u002Fp>","\n\nLa datation radiométrique est-elle précise?","\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"color: inherit;

La datation radiométrique est le processus d’estimation de l’âge des roches basé sur la désintégration des éléments radioactifs qu’elles contiennent.&nbsp; Fondamentalement, il existe certains types d’atomes dans la nature qui sont instables et se désintègrent spontanément en d’autres types d’atomes.&nbsp; Par exemple, l’uranium se désintègre radioactivement à travers une série d’étapes jusqu’à devenir l’élément stable appelé plomb.&nbsp; L’élément d’origine est appelé élément parent et le résultat final est appelé élément fils.&nbsp; La datation par radio-isotopes est couramment utilisée pour dater les roches ignées, roches formées lorsque du matériau fondu chaud s’est refroidi et solidifié.&nbsp; L’horloge de datation a commencé lorsque la roche s’est refroidie.&nbsp; À l’état fondu, on suppose que la chaleur intense a forcé tout élément fils gazeux à s’échapper.&nbsp; On suppose qu’une fois la roche refroidie, plus aucun atome ne s’est échappé et que tout élément fils trouvé maintenant dans la roche résulte de la désintégration radioactive depuis la formation de cette roche.&nbsp; La vitesse de désintégration est mesurée en termes de demi-vie.&nbsp; C’est la durée nécessaire pour que la moitié des atomes restants d’un élément parent radioactif se désintègrent.&nbsp; Bien sûr, cela peut être mesuré en laboratoire et on suppose que, connaissant la vitesse de désintégration, nous pouvons calculer à rebours et déterminer l’âge de la roche.&nbsp; Mais est-ce tout&nbsp;?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>C’est là que ça se complique.&nbsp; Il est vrai que nous pouvons mesurer une vitesse de désintégration grâce à la science observationnelle, mais il existe un autre type de science nécessaire pour calculer avec précision les dates des roches, et c’est ce que nous appelons la science historique.&nbsp; La science historique traite des choses du passé et, par conséquent, ne peut être ni répétée ni testée.&nbsp; Les méthodes de datation nécessitent les deux types de science, car pour obtenir des dates précises des roches, il faudrait connaître avec précision à la fois la vitesse de désintégration et les conditions initiales de l’échantillon de roche, n’est-ce pas&nbsp;?&nbsp; Comme la datation par radio-isotopes utilise les deux types de science, nous ne pouvons pas mesurer directement l’âge des roches.&nbsp; Il y a des hypothèses impliquées.&nbsp; Par exemple, comment savons-nous quelles étaient les conditions initiales dans l’échantillon de roche&nbsp;?&nbsp; Comment savons-nous que les quantités d’éléments parents ou fils présentes dans cet échantillon n’ont pas été modifiées par d’autres processus dans le passé&nbsp;?&nbsp; Comment quelqu’un sait-il que la vitesse de désintégration est restée constante depuis la formation de la roche&nbsp;?&nbsp; La réponse est qu’ils ne le savent pas.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Simplifions et parlons d’un sablier typique.&nbsp; Disons que vous entrez dans une pièce et que vous voyez un sablier avec du sable en haut et du sable en bas, et un peu de sable qui tombe de la chambre supérieure vers la chambre inférieure.&nbsp; Eh bien, la science observationnelle nous permettrait de voir et de mesurer le sable, puis de calculer depuis combien de temps le sablier fonctionne, n’est-ce pas&nbsp;?&nbsp; Nous pouvons faire nos mesures de sable et ensuite calculer quand le sablier a été retourné, n’est-ce pas&nbsp;?&nbsp; Eh bien, ces calculs pourraient être faux parce que nous n’avons peut-être pas pris en compte certaines hypothèses majeures, comme : y avait-il du sable au fond quand le sablier a été retourné&nbsp;?&nbsp; Du sable a-t-il été ajouté ou retiré du sablier&nbsp;?&nbsp; Le sable est-il toujours tombé à un rythme constant&nbsp;?&nbsp; Comme nous n’avons pas observé les conditions initiales au démarrage du sablier et que nous n’avons pas surveillé le sable tout le temps depuis, nous devons faire des hypothèses.&nbsp; Ces trois hypothèses peuvent affecter nos calculs de temps.&nbsp; Bien sûr, il y a plus à comprendre sur tout cela, mais cela suffit.\u003C\u002Fp>","\n\n다음 문장을 한국어로 번역하십시오:\n\n라디오메트릭 데이팅이 정확한가요?","\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"color: inherit;

Billions of years ago there was an explosion in space or a hundred thousand years ago, this happened or that happened.&nbsp; Or, even in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.&nbsp; Question - how does anyone know?&nbsp; I mean, was anybody there to observe it?&nbsp; Well, actually somebody was but I’m getting ahead of myself.&nbsp; Check this out.&nbsp; First of all, we need to recognize that there is a huge difference between observational science and historical science.&nbsp; Both are valuable but very different.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Let’s define the two real quick, shall we?&nbsp; Observational science is simply when we observe something and experiment to draw conclusions.&nbsp; It involves repeatable experimentation and observations in the present.&nbsp; It’s through observational science that we find cures for diseases and build space shuttles and stuff like that.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Now, through historical science, we consider things that happened in the past but they cannot be checked in the same way.&nbsp; I mean, we don’t have access to the past like we do the present because, well, it’s gone, right?&nbsp; All we really have is speculation or, at best, the circumstantial evidences of past events and based on what we see in the present.&nbsp; That’s not to say that we can’t make intelligent guesses about the past or form reasonable inferences from rocks or fossils in the present, but we certainly cannot directly test our conclusions because we cannot repeat the past.&nbsp; Got it?&nbsp; So, does that mean historical science is unimportant?&nbsp; Not at all.&nbsp; \u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Let’s drop an example down here for a minute and take a look at the Eiffel Tower.&nbsp; You know, that 19th Century prizium monument designed by Gustave Eiffel that stands a thousand and sixty-three feet tall which was built as the entrance for the 1889 World’s Fair and is still the tallest building in Paris today visited by millions of people each year?&nbsp; Yeah, that one.&nbsp; Well, guess what?&nbsp; Everything I just told you is true, but how do we test it?&nbsp; Well, applying observational science, we can, of course, observe the Eiffel Tower any time we’re in Paris.&nbsp; It’s here in the present.&nbsp; Then, we can continue by testing the height and comparing it to all the other structures in Paris and confirm the claim that it is indeed the tallest building in Paris.&nbsp; But that’s the extent of the kind of facts that can be proved by observational science in reference to this claim.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>How do we really know that Gustave designed it?&nbsp; How do we really know it was built in the 19th Century as an entrance to the 1889 World’s Fair?&nbsp; How do we really know how many people visited?&nbsp; That’s all in the past.&nbsp; It can’t be repeated.&nbsp; For that kind of information, we need to go outside the limits of observational science and discover what has been communicated to us through historical documents and eyewitness accounts.&nbsp; And, furthermore, we have to believe those eyewitnesses and documents are trustworthy.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>The same is true when we talk about the origin of the earth.&nbsp; The earth is here.&nbsp; We all agree with that.&nbsp; So, does observational science confirm that the world was created by God and are there trustworthy documents and eyewitness accounts to confirm it?&nbsp; Well, let’s take the last part first.&nbsp; In short, what we’re really asking is my original question - was anybody there to observe it?&nbsp; The answer is, yes.&nbsp; God was there and He told us how He created it.&nbsp; He inspired people to write down His very words that became books that were compiled into a complete book called the Bible, which has been verified over and over again and has demonstrated itself to be totally trustworthy in all it claims and teaches.&nbsp; Even secular scholars will concede that the Bible accurately records historical events.&nbsp; Anyway, we have the most trustworthy revelation from the most trustworthy eyewitness.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Now, what about observational science?&nbsp; Does it confirm the Bible?&nbsp; Yes.&nbsp; And what’s extremely important to realize is the observable fact that the universe is logical and orderly.&nbsp; That makes sense only if its Creator is logical and has imposed order on His creation.&nbsp; It doesn’t make sense at all if the universe is just an accident of a huge explosion.&nbsp; Also, our minds are able to comprehend many things about the universe and that’s only possible if the Creator of the mind gave us the ability and desire to explore the universe.&nbsp; It doesn’t make sense if our brains are bi-products of chance because we couldn’t trust their conclusions to ever be accurate.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>And, lastly, it only makes sense that we can observe and repeat an experiment if the universe consistently obeys the same laws from day to day which only makes sense if a lawgiver created it that way and upholds it.&nbsp; So to be bluntly honest, science itself, whether observational or historical, is only possible because God exists and the Bible is true.&nbsp; I could go on, but enough said.\u003C\u002Fp>","Can we use science to prove that God exists?

Eso no significa que no podamos hacer conjeturas inteligentes sobre el pasado o formar inferencias razonables a partir de rocas o fósiles en el presente, pero ciertamente no podemos probar directamente nuestras conclusiones porque no podemos repetir el pasado.&nbsp;

Sí, esa.&nbsp; Bueno, ¿adivina qué?&nbsp; Todo lo que te acabo de decir es cierto, pero ¿cómo lo probamos?&nbsp; Bueno, aplicando la ciencia observacional, podemos, por supuesto, observar la Torre Eiffel en cualquier momento que estemos en París.&nbsp; Está aquí en el presente.&nbsp; Luego, podemos continuar midiendo la altura y comparándola con todas las demás estructuras en París y confirmar la afirmación de que es, de hecho, el edificio más alto de París.&nbsp;

Para ese tipo de información, necesitamos ir más allá de los límites de la ciencia observacional y descubrir lo que se nos ha comunicado a través de documentos históricos y relatos de testigos presenciales.&nbsp;

Bueno, tomemos la última parte primero.&nbsp; En resumen, lo que realmente estamos preguntando es mi pregunta original: ¿había alguien allí para observarlo?&nbsp; La respuesta es sí.&nbsp; Dios estaba allí y nos dijo cómo lo creó.&nbsp; Inspiró a las personas a escribir Sus propias palabras que se convirtieron en libros que se compilaron en un libro completo llamado la Biblia, que ha sido verificada una y otra vez y ha demostrado ser totalmente confiable en todo lo que afirma y enseña.&nbsp; Incluso los eruditos seculares concederán que la Biblia registra con precisión eventos históricos.&nbsp; De todos modos, tenemos la revelación más confiable del testigo presencial más confiable.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Ahora, ¿qué pasa con la ciencia observacional?&nbsp; ¿Confirma la Biblia?&nbsp; Sí.&nbsp; Y lo que es extremadamente importante darse cuenta es el hecho observable de que el universo es lógico y ordenado.&nbsp; Eso solo tiene sentido si su Creador es lógico y ha impuesto orden en Su creación.&nbsp; No tiene sentido en absoluto si el universo es solo un accidente de una enorme explosión.&nbsp; Además, nuestras mentes son capaces de comprender muchas cosas sobre el universo y eso solo es posible si el Creador de la mente nos dio la capacidad y el deseo de explorar el universo.&nbsp;

Tout ce que nous avons vraiment, c'est de la spéculation ou, au mieux, des preuves circonstancielles d'événements passés, basées sur ce que nous voyons dans le présent. Cela ne veut pas dire que nous ne pouvons pas faire des suppositions intelligentes sur le passé ou former des inférences raisonnables à partir de roches ou de fossiles dans le présent, mais nous ne pouvons certainement pas tester directement nos conclusions parce que nous ne pouvons pas répéter le passé. Compris ? Donc, est-ce que cela signifie que la science historique est sans importance ? Pas du tout.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Laissons tomber un exemple ici un instant et jetons un œil à la Tour Eiffel.

Ouais, celle-là. Eh bien, devinez quoi ? Tout ce que je viens de vous dire est vrai, mais comment le testons-nous ? Eh bien, en appliquant la science observationnelle, nous pouvons, bien sûr, observer la Tour Eiffel chaque fois que nous sommes à Paris. Elle est là dans le présent. Ensuite, nous pouvons continuer en testant sa hauteur et en la comparant à toutes les autres structures de Paris et confirmer l'affirmation selon laquelle c'est bien le plus haut bâtiment de Paris. Mais c'est la limite du genre de faits qui peuvent être prouvés par la science observationnelle en référence à cette affirmation.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Comment savons-nous vraiment que Gustave l'a conçue ? Comment savons-nous vraiment qu'elle a été construite au XIXe siècle comme entrée de l'Exposition universelle de 1889 ? Comment savons-nous vraiment combien de personnes l'ont visitée ? Tout cela appartient au passé. Cela ne peut pas être répété. Pour ce genre d'informations, nous devons sortir des limites de la science observationnelle et découvrir ce qui nous a été communiqué à travers des documents historiques et des témoignages oculaires.

Alors, est-ce que la science observationnelle confirme que le monde a été créé par Dieu et y a-t-il des documents dignes de confiance et des témoignages oculaires pour le confirmer ? Eh bien, prenons la dernière partie en premier. En bref, ce que nous demandons vraiment, c'est ma question originale : y avait-il quelqu'un pour l'observer ? La réponse est oui. Dieu était là et Il nous a dit comment Il l'a créé. Il a inspiré des gens à écrire Ses propres paroles qui sont devenues des livres qui ont été compilés en un livre complet appelé la Bible, qui a été vérifiée encore et encore et qui a démontré qu'elle était totalement digne de confiance dans tout ce qu'elle affirme et enseigne. Même les érudits séculiers concéderont que la Bible enregistre avec précision des événements historiques. Bref, nous avons la révélation la plus digne de confiance du témoin oculaire le plus digne de confiance.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Maintenant, qu'en est-il de la science observationnelle ? Confirme-t-elle la Bible ? Oui. Et ce qui est extrêmement important de réaliser, c'est le fait observable que l'univers est logique et ordonné. Cela n'a de sens que si son Créateur est logique et a imposé l'ordre à Sa création. Cela n'a aucun sens du tout si l'univers n'est qu'un accident d'une énorme explosion. De plus, nos esprits sont capables de comprendre beaucoup de choses sur l'univers et cela n'est possible que si le Créateur de l'esprit nous a donné la capacité et le désir d'explorer l'univers.

The question is: Why does God allow abuse? Let me put it in my own story. I grew up in Michigan. In a little town called Union City. and from six to thirteen years old, for seven years, every week, I was raped by a man of the name of Wayne Bailey. How did it all start? When I was six years old. He was hired, he'd been hired to be a cook and a housekeeper on the farm and at six years old, whenever my mother would go down town shopping or my parents would go away for the weekend, or they'd go out to the field to work. My mother would make me stand in front of this man and say \"Now you obey Wayne, you do everything he tells you to do and if you are disobedient, then I am going to give you a thrashing when you get home.\" Trust me, you didn't want a thrashing from my mother. So, what'd you do at six years old? You did what Wayne Bailey told you. At nine years old, I got up the courage to tell my mother and she didn't believe me. You know what she made me do? I had to go out to the backyard to a big willow tree, break off a switch, go ahead and take my shirt off, and she whipped me on my back for almost thirty minutes, until I said I was lying. That was the darkest day of my life. That was one of the most fearful days of my life, because I knew what was being done to me, as possible something being done to you, was evil and I couldn't do anything about it and my own parent's wouldn't Finally, at the age of thirteen years old, I was quite strong playing football and tossing bails of hay at the farm, and my parents had gone away and this man came up behind me and put his arm on my shoulder. I immediatly swung around, cuffed my hand around his throat, pushed him against the wall in the living room and said, \"if you ever touch me again, I will kill you.\" He never touched me again. I am so thankful that I came to know Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord or I would have destroyed my life. I would be a, probably a homeless person today, but with my personality, I'd have two carts. But, after I came to Christ, I had to ask a question. Why did God permit it? Why me? I didn't do anything to deserve it. I was just a kid. And what I concluded, and I concluded this through reading God's word, the Scriptures, which intellectually I came to understand that they are true. I've debated that over two­hundred and fifty times in Universities all around the world. I know why I believe the Bible. But in the Bible, it shows that God created the creation, God created all of us. But there was a fall and it goes all the way back to a couple known as Adam &amp; Eve and when they rebelled against God, they made wrong choices that alienated them from God. As a result of that alienation, even the world around was part of the fall. It became stained, it became not what God created it to be. As I looked at the world around that's crying out for redemption, I look at man that is crying out for redemption and that's when I realize, God did not cause me to be sexually abused. Now, he did permit it. He permitted it in a fallen world, by fallen people, who had evil intentions in their minds as this man did with me from watching pornography, in all, he took it out on me. But one thing I realized, in eternity past, God knew these things were going to take place and in eternity past, he already knew that he was going to have a solution for it and that was his son, Jesus Christ. When Jesus Christ died on the Cross, to pay the price of all the sin in the world, the rebellion against God. That was in God's mind, in eternity past. Then in the Scriptures, God made this promise. Ah, I am a walking and living example of this promise. He said he would \"Cause all things to work together for the good.\" Now, what happened to me and possibly what is heppened or happening to you is not good. It's not good. But Jesus didn't say everything was good. He said He would cause all things to work together for the good, even evil things that are happening to us or the sex abuse that happened to me, the rape. That he would take that, and cause it to work for the good. and God gave us an out. You see, after I threatened to kill this man and I would have if he'd ever tough me again. Some students and professors in university told me about Jesus Christ. I just laughed at them. I thought it was a big joke. But they challenged me to intellectually examin the Scriptures and the person of Jesus Christ to see who they were and if the Bible was the word of God, and Jesus was the son of God. I just laughed at them, I thought that was ridiculous. You know why? I thought Christians had two brains. One was lost, and the other was out looking for it, I really did. But you know what I found out? As I left the university and travelled throughout the United States, England, Germany, France, Switzerland. I discovered evidence about Jesus, about the Bible I never knew existed. And I'd return to a museum, library, in London, England. It was a Thursday night about six­thirty at night. And I leaned back in my chair, I cuffed my hands behind my head, and right in front of everyone I said, \"It's true, it's true, it's true.\" And what I meant by that is that I can hold the Scriptures in my hand and say what I have is what was written down and has not been changed and what was written down was true. As a result of that, on December the 19th, that year at eight­thirty at night, I put my trust in the Jesus of the Bible. In the best way I knew how. I knew He said, \" if we confess our sins he forgives us,\" and He said we needed to trust His son as Savior and Lord. I didn't understand all that, but Jesus said, \"I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice, and opens the door I will come in.\" So I just said, \"God right now forgive me, I trust you for the forgiveness of my sin for what Jesus did and right now I ask you to come into my life as my Savior and Lord.\" All I know is, nothing happened overnight. In a period of about six­month's my enitre life started to change. But when I come back to my abuse, I knew God had a solution. I knew, that I had gone through a lot of the results of evil in other people. and evil in the world, and God had a way out. It was through his Son and through other's around him called the church, the body of Christ. So I went to the man that shared Christ with me, and I shared with him about my abuse. He believed me. And you know what? For six­month's, he mentored me, he met with me, he discipled me out of the Scriptures, the Bible, the word of God. and you know what happened? For six- month's, I meet with him once a week, and share my heart with him, he would listen. He would take Scriptures and say, \"this is what God says about this, this is what God wants to do here.\" But you see, I never knew that until he took me to the Scriptures. Little by little, for six­month's, I saw my life change right before me and that's when I realized, God's word was true. He will cause all things to work together for the good. It doesn't mean he caused all things, but he'll take anything in your life and turn it for the good. I'm an example of that. You know, I bet you have some questions. I have a lot of questions in life. and you can go to truelife.org and click on to other videos like this one and almost any question you have, there's a video that will answer it. but maybe you're also a little bit like me. I like to somebody eye to eye and you know just interact with them on some of the question that I have. And especially on this area of abuse would be so important. Again, go to truelife.org and you can click on to church finder and you know what? You put in your zip code, whatever, your city and it will bring it right down to pastors and churches in your area, who alread said they would love to meet with you. Isn't that neat? You can have someone who cares about you and about your hurt, personally take time to meet with you and answer your questions. Take advantage of that. Thank you for letting me be, just a little part of your life today.

La pregunta es: ¿Por qué Dios permite el abuso? Permíteme contarlo con mi propia historia. Crecí en Michigan. En un pequeño pueblo llamado Union City. Y de los seis a los trece años, durante siete años, cada semana, fui violado por un hombre llamado Wayne Bailey. ¿Cómo empezó todo? Cuando tenía seis años. Fue contratado, había sido contratado para ser cocinero y ama de llaves en la granja y a los seis años, cada vez que mi madre iba de compras al centro o mis padres se iban por el fin de semana, o salían al campo a trabajar. Mi madre me hacía ponerme delante de este hombre y decir: \"Ahora obedeces a Wayne, haces todo lo que te diga y si desobedeces, entonces te voy a dar una paliza cuando llegues a casa\". Créeme, no querías una paliza de mi madre. Así que, ¿qué hacías a los seis años? Hacías lo que Wayne Bailey te decía. A los nueve años, reuní el valor para decírselo a mi madre y ella no me creyó. ¿Sabes qué me hizo hacer? Tuve que ir al patio trasero a un gran sauce, romper una rama, quitarme la camisa y ella me azotó la espalda durante casi treinta minutos, hasta que dije que estaba mintiendo. Ese fue el día más oscuro de mi vida. Ese fue uno de los días más aterradores de mi vida, porque sabía que lo que me estaban haciendo, posiblemente algo que te estaban haciendo a ti, era malo y no podía hacer nada al respecto y mis propios padres no lo harían. Finalmente, a los trece años, era bastante fuerte jugando al fútbol y lanzando pacas de heno en la granja, y mis padres se habían ido y este hombre se acercó por detrás de mí y puso su brazo sobre mi hombro. Inmediatamente me giré, rodeé su garganta con mi mano, lo empujé contra la pared de la sala de estar y le dije: \"Si alguna vez vuelves a tocarme, te mataré\". Nunca más me tocó. Estoy muy agradecido de haber llegado a conocer a Jesucristo como mi Salvador y Señor o habría destruido mi vida. Sería, probablemente, una persona sin hogar hoy, pero con mi personalidad, tendría dos carretas. Pero, después de venir a Cristo, tuve que hacer una pregunta. ¿Por qué Dios lo permitió? ¿Por qué yo? No hice nada para merecerlo. Solo era un niño. Y lo que concluí, y concluí esto a través de la lectura de la palabra de Dios, las Escrituras, que intelectualmente llegué a entender que son verdaderas. He debatido eso más de doscientos cincuenta veces en universidades de todo el mundo. Sé por qué creo en la Biblia. Pero en la Biblia, se muestra que Dios creó la creación, Dios nos creó a todos. Pero hubo una caída y se remonta a una pareja conocida como Adán y Eva y cuando se rebelaron contra Dios, tomaron decisiones equivocadas que los alienaron de Dios. Como resultado de esa alienación, incluso el mundo que nos rodea formó parte de la caída. Se manchó, se convirtió en algo que no era lo que Dios creó que fuera. Mientras miraba el mundo que nos rodea clamando por redención, miro al hombre que clama por redención y fue entonces cuando me di cuenta, Dios no me causó el abuso sexual. Ahora, sí lo permitió. Lo permitió en un mundo caído, por personas caídas, que tenían intenciones malvadas en sus mentes como este hombre lo hizo conmigo al ver pornografía, en todo, lo descargó en mí. Pero una cosa que me di cuenta, en la eternidad pasada, Dios sabía que estas cosas iban a suceder y en la eternidad pasada, ya sabía que iba a tener una solución para ello y esa era su Hijo, Jesucristo. Cuando Jesucristo murió en la Cruz, para pagar el precio de todo el pecado del mundo, la rebelión contra Dios. Eso estaba en la mente de Dios, en la eternidad pasada. Entonces en las Escrituras, Dios hizo esta promesa. Ah, soy un ejemplo andante y vivo de esta promesa. Dijo que \"haría que todas las cosas obraran juntamente para bien\". Ahora, lo que me pasó a mí y posiblemente lo que te ha pasado o te está pasando a ti no es bueno. No es bueno. Pero Jesús no dijo que todo era bueno. Dijo que haría que todas las cosas obraran juntamente para bien, incluso las cosas malas que nos están sucediendo o el abuso sexual que me sucedió a mí, la violación. Que tomaría eso, y haría que obrara para bien. Y Dios nos dio una salida. Verás, después de que amenacé con matar a este hombre y lo habría hecho si alguna vez me hubiera tocado de nuevo. Algunos estudiantes y profesores de la universidad me hablaron de Jesucristo. Me reí de ellos. Pensé que era una gran broma. Pero me desafiaron a examinar intelectualmente las Escrituras y la persona de Jesucristo para ver quiénes eran y si la Biblia era la palabra de Dios, y Jesús era el Hijo de Dios. Me reí de ellos, pensé que era ridículo. ¿Sabes por qué? Pensé que los cristianos tenían dos cerebros. Uno estaba perdido, y el otro estaba buscando, realmente lo hice. Pero ¿sabes lo que descubrí? Cuando dejé la universidad y viajé por los Estados Unidos, Inglaterra, Alemania, Francia, Suiza. Descubrí evidencia sobre Jesús, sobre la Biblia que nunca supe que existía. Y regresaría a un museo, biblioteca, en Londres, Inglaterra. Era un jueves por la noche alrededor de las seis y media. Y me recosté en mi silla, puse mis manos detrás de mi cabeza, y justo frente a todos dije: \"Es verdad, es verdad, es verdad\". Y lo que quise decir con eso es que puedo sostener las Escrituras en mi mano y decir que lo que tengo es lo que fue escrito y no ha sido cambiado y lo que fue escrito es verdad. Como resultado de eso, el 19 de diciembre de ese año a las ocho y media de la noche, puse mi confianza en el Jesús de la Biblia. De la mejor manera que supe. Sabía que Él dijo: \"si confesamos nuestros pecados nos perdona\", y dijo que necesitábamos confiar en su Hijo como Salvador y Señor. No entendí todo eso, pero Jesús dijo: \"He aquí, yo estoy a la puerta y llamo; si alguno oye mi voz y abre la puerta, entraré a él\". Así que simplemente dije: \"Dios ahora mismo perdóname, confío en ti para el perdón de mi pecado por lo que Jesús hizo y ahora te pido que entres en mi vida como mi Salvador y Señor\". Todo lo que sé es, noing sucedió de la noche a la mañana. En un período de aproximadamente seis meses, toda mi vida empezó a cambiar. Pero cuando vuelvo a mi abuso, supe que Dios tenía una solución. Sabía que había pasado por muchos de los resultados del mal en otras personas. y el mal en el mundo, y Dios tenía una salida. Fue a través de su Hijo y a través de otros a su alrededor llamados la iglesia, el cuerpo de Cristo. Así que fui al hombre que compartió a Cristo conmigo, y le compartí acerca de mi abuso. Él me creyó. ¿Y sabes qué? Durante seis meses, me aconsejó, se reunió conmigo, me discipuló con las Escrituras, la Biblia, la palabra de Dios. ¿y sabes qué pasó? Durante seis meses, me reuní con él una vez a la semana, y compartí mi corazón con él, él escuchaba. Él tomaba las Escrituras y decía: \"esto es lo que Dios dice acerca de esto, esto es lo que Dios quiere hacer aquí\". Pero ya ves, nunca supe eso hasta que me llevó a las Escrituras. Poco a poco, durante seis meses, vi mi vida cambiar delante de mí y fue entonces cuando me di cuenta de que la palabra de Dios era verdadera. Él hará que todas las cosas obren juntas para el bien. No significa que él causó todas las cosas, pero tomará cualquier cosa en tu vida y la convertirá en algo bueno. Soy un ejemplo de eso. Sabes, apuesto a que tienes algunas preguntas. Tengo muchas preguntas en la vida. y puedes ir a truelife.org y hacer clic en otros videos como este y casi cualquier pregunta que tengas, hay un video que la responderá. pero tal vez también seas un poco como yo. Me gusta que alguien me mire a los ojos y, ya sabes, simplemente interactuar con ellos en algunas de las preguntas que tengo. Y especialmente en esta área del abuso sería tan importante. De nuevo, ve a truelife.org y puedes hacer clic en el buscador de iglesias y ¿sabes qué? Pones tu código postal, lo que sea, tu ciudad y te lo traerá directamente a pastores e iglesias en tu área, que ya dijeron que les encantaría reunirse contigo. ¿No es genial?

La question est : Pourquoi Dieu permet-il les abus ? Laissez-moi vous raconter mon histoire. J'ai grandi dans le Michigan, dans une petite ville appelée Union City. De six à treize ans, pendant sept ans, j'ai été violé chaque semaine par un homme nommé Wayne Bailey. Comment tout a commencé ? Quand j'avais six ans. Il avait été embauché comme cuisinier et homme d'entretien à la ferme et à six ans, chaque fois que ma mère allait faire les courses en ville ou que mes parents s'absentaient pour le week-end, ou qu'ils allaient travailler aux champs. Ma mère me faisait me tenir devant cet homme et me disait : « Maintenant, tu obéis à Wayne, tu fais tout ce qu'il te dit de faire et si tu désobéis, je te donnerai une raclée quand tu rentreras à la maison. » Faites-moi confiance, vous ne vouliez pas d'une raclée de ma mère. Alors, qu'est-ce que vous faites à six ans ? Vous faites ce que Wayne Bailey vous dit de faire. À neuf ans, j'ai eu le courage de le dire à ma mère et elle ne m'a pas cru. Vous savez ce qu'elle m'a fait faire ? J'ai dû aller dans la cour arrière jusqu'à un grand saule, casser une branche, enlever ma chemise, et elle m'a fouetté le dos pendant presque trente minutes, jusqu'à ce que je dise que je mentais. Ce fut le jour le plus sombre de ma vie. Ce fut l'un des jours les plus effrayants de ma vie, parce que je savais que ce qu'on me faisait, comme ce qui vous arrive peut-être, était mal et que je ne pouvais rien y faire et que mes propres parents ne le feraient pas. Enfin, à l'âge de treize ans, j'étais assez fort en jouant au football et en lançant des bottes de foin à la ferme, et mes parents étaient partis et cet homme s'est approché par derrière et a posé sa main sur mon épaule. J'ai immédiatement fait volte-face, j'ai serré ma main autour de sa gorge, je l'ai poussé contre le mur du salon et j'ai dit : « Si tu me touches encore une fois, je te tue. » Il ne m'a plus jamais touché. Je suis tellement reconnaissant d'avoir connu Jésus-Christ comme mon Sauveur et Seigneur, sinon j'aurais détruit ma vie. Je serais probablement un sans-abri aujourd'hui, mais avec ma personnalité, j'aurais deux chariots. Mais après être venu à Christ, j'ai dû poser une question. Pourquoi Dieu l'a-t-il permis ? Pourquoi moi ? Je n'ai rien fait pour le mériter. Je n'étais qu'un enfant. Et ce que j'ai conclu, et je l'ai conclu en lisant la Parole de Dieu, les Écritures, que j'ai intellectuellement compris comme étant vraies. J'en ai débattu plus de deux cent cinquante fois dans des universités du monde entier. Je sais pourquoi je crois à la Bible. Mais dans la Bible, il est montré que Dieu a créé la création, Dieu nous a tous créés. Mais il y a eu une chute et cela remonte à un couple connu sous le nom d'Adam et Ève et quand ils se sont rebellés contre Dieu, ils ont fait de mauvais choix qui les ont aliénés de Dieu. À la suite de cette aliénation, même le monde autour d'eux a fait partie de la chute. Il est devenu souillé, il n'est plus ce que Dieu l'avait créé. En regardant le monde qui crie après la rédemption, je regarde l'homme qui crie après la rédemption et c'est alors que j'ai compris que Dieu ne m'a pas fait subir d'abus sexuel. Il l'a permis. Il l'a permis dans un monde déchu, par des gens déchus, qui avaient des intentions malveillantes dans leur esprit comme cet homme l'a fait avec moi en regardant de la pornographie, il a tout déversé sur moi. Mais une chose que j'ai comprise, dans l'éternité passée, Dieu savait que ces choses allaient se produire et dans l'éternité passée, il savait déjà qu'il aurait une solution et que c'était son fils, Jésus-Christ. Quand Jésus-Christ est mort sur la Croix, pour payer le prix de tout le péché du monde, la rébellion contre Dieu. Cela était dans l'esprit de Dieu, dans l'éternité passée. Puis dans les Écritures, Dieu a fait cette promesse. Ah, je suis un exemple vivant et marchant de cette promesse. Il a dit qu'il « ferait concourir toutes choses au bien ». Ce qui m'est arrivé et ce qui vous est peut-être arrivé ou vous arrive n'est pas bien. Ce n'est pas bien. Mais Jésus n'a pas dit que tout était bien. Il a dit qu'il ferait concourir toutes choses au bien, même les choses mauvaises qui nous arrivent ou l'abus sexuel qui m'est arrivé, le viol. Qu'il prendrait cela et le ferait concourir au bien. Et Dieu nous a donné une issue. Vous voyez, après avoir menacé de tuer cet homme et je l'aurais fait s'il m'avait encore touché. Des étudiants et des professeurs à l'université m'ont parlé de Jésus-Christ. Je me suis contenté de rire d'eux. Je pensais que c'était une grosse blague. Mais ils m'ont mis au défi d'examiner intellectuellement les Écritures et la personne de Jésus-Christ pour voir qui ils étaient et si la Bible était la parole de Dieu, et si Jésus était le Fils de Dieu. Je me suis contenté de rire d'eux, je pensais que c'était ridicule. Vous savez pourquoi ? Je pensais que les chrétiens avaient deux cerveaux. L'un était perdu et l'autre était parti à sa recherche, vraiment. Mais vous savez ce que j'ai découvert ? En quittant l'université et en voyageant à travers les États-Unis, l'Angleterre, l'Allemagne, la France, la Suisse. J'ai découvert des preuves sur Jésus, sur la Bible dont j'ignorais l'existence. Et je suis retourné dans un musée, une bibliothèque, à Londres, en Angleterre. C'était un jeudi soir vers dix-huit heures trente. Et je me suis adossé à ma chaise, j'ai mis mes mains derrière ma tête, et devant tout le monde j'ai dit : « C'est vrai, c'est vrai, c'est vrai. » Et ce que je voulais dire par là, c'est que je peux tenir les Écritures dans ma main et dire que ce que j'ai est ce qui a été écrit et n'a pas été changé et que ce qui a été écrit est vrai. À la suite de cela, le 19 décembre de cette année à vingt heures trente, j'ai mis ma confiance dans le Jésus de la Bible. De la meilleure façon que je connaissais. Je savais qu'Il avait dit : « si nous confessons nos péchés il nous pardonne », et Il a dit que nous devions faire confiance à son Fils comme Sauveur et Seigneur. Je ne comprenais pas tout cela, mais Jésus a dit : « Je me tiens à la porte et je frappe. Si quelqu'un entend ma voix et ouvre la porte, j'entrerai. » Alors j'ai simplement dit : « Dieu, pardonne-moi maintenant, je te fais confiance pour le pardon de mon péché pour ce que Jésus a fait et maintenant je te demande d'entrer dans ma vie comme mon Sauveur et Seigneur. » Tout ce que je sais, c'est que rienquelque chose s'est produit du jour au lendemain. En l'espace d'environ six mois, toute ma vie a commencé à changer. Mais quand je reviens à mon abus, je savais que Dieu avait une solution. Je savais que j'avais traversé beaucoup des conséquences du mal chez les autres et du mal dans le monde, et que Dieu avait une issue. C'était par son Fils et par d'autres autour de lui appelés l'Église, le corps du Christ. Alors je suis allé voir l'homme qui m'avait parlé du Christ, et je lui ai parlé de mon abus. Il m'a cru. Et vous savez quoi ? Pendant six mois, il m'a mentoré, il m'a rencontré, il m'a discipé à partir des Écritures, la Bible, la parole de Dieu. Et vous savez ce qui s'est passé ? Pendant six mois, je le rencontrais une fois par semaine, et je partageais mon cœur avec lui, il écoutait. Il prenait des Écritures et disait : « Voici ce que Dieu dit à ce sujet, voici ce que Dieu veut faire ici. » Mais vous voyez, je ne l'avais jamais su jusqu'à ce qu'il m'emmène aux Écritures. Petit à petit, pendant six mois, j'ai vu ma vie changer sous mes yeux et c'est alors que j'ai réalisé que la parole de Dieu était vraie. Il fera en sorte que toutes choses concourent au bien. Cela ne veut pas dire qu'il a causé toutes choses, mais il prendra n'importe quoi dans votre vie et le tournera pour le bien. J'en suis un exemple. Vous savez, je parie que vous avez des questions. J'ai beaucoup de questions dans la vie. Et vous pouvez aller sur truelife.org et cliquer sur d'autres vidéos comme celle-ci et presque n'importe quelle question que vous avez, il y a une vidéo qui y répondra. Mais peut-être êtes-vous aussi un peu comme moi. J'aime rencontrer quelqu'un en face à face et interagir avec lui sur certaines des questions que j'ai. Et surtout dans ce domaine de l'abus, ce serait si important. Encore une fois, allez sur truelife.org et vous pouvez cliquer sur le localisateur d'églises et vous savez quoi ? Vous entrez votre code postal, votre ville, peu importe, et cela vous montrera directement les pasteurs et les églises de votre région qui ont déjà dit qu'ils aimeraient vous rencontrer. N'est-ce pas génial ? Vous pouvez avoir quelqu'un qui se soucie de vous et de votre souffrance, qui prend personnellement le temps de vous rencontrer et de répondre à vos questions. Profitez-en. Merci de m'avoir permis d'être juste une petite partie de votre vie aujourd'hui.

제가 여섯 살 때였습니다. 그는 농장에서 요리사와 가사 도우미로 고용되었습니다. 여섯 살 때, 어머니가 시내에 장을 보러 가시거나 부모님이 주말에 외출하시거나, 밭에 나가 일하실 때마다 어머니는 제가 이 남자 앞에 서게 하시며 이렇게 말씀하셨습니다. \"이제 웨인을 잘 따르고, 그가 시키는 대로 다 해야 한다. 만약 네가 말을 안 들으면 집에 돌아와서 회초리로 때릴 것이다.\" 믿으세요, 어머니의 회초리질은 원하지 않았을 겁니다. 그래서 여섯 살짜리 아이가 무엇을 했을까요? 웨인 베일리가 시키는 대로 했습니다. 아홉 살 때, 용기를 내어 어머니께 말씀드렸지만 어머니는 저를 믿지 않으셨습니다. 어머니가 저에게 시키신 게 뭔지 아십니까? 뒷마당의 큰 버드나무로 가서 가지를 꺾어 오게 하시고, 셔츠를 벗게 하신 후, 제가 거짓말이라고 말할 때까지 거의 30분 동안 등을 때리셨습니다. 그날이 제 인생에서 가장 어두운 날이었습니다. 제 인생에서 가장 두려운 날 중 하나였습니다. 왜냐하면 제게 행해지고 있는 일이, 여러분에게도 행해질 수 있는 일이 악하다는 것을 알았지만, 아무것도 할 수 없었고, 제 부모님조차도 믿어주지 않았기 때문입니다. 마침내 열세 살이 되었을 때, 저는 축구를 하며 농장에서 건초 더미를 던지며 상당히 강해졌습니다. 부모님이 외출하신 후, 이 남자가 제 뒤로 다가와 어깨에 팔을 올렸습니다. 저는 즉시 돌아서서 그의 목을 움켜쥐고, 거실 벽에 밀어붙이며 말했습니다. \"다시는 절 건드리지 마세요. 그러면 제가 당신을 죽일 겁니다.\" 그는 다시는 저를 건드리지 않았습니다. 제가 예수 그리스도를 제 구주와 주님으로 알게 되어 정말 감사합니다. 그렇지 않았다면 제 삶을 망쳤을 테니까요. 아마 오늘날 노숙자가 되어 있었을 겁니다. 하지만 제 성격상, 카트 두 대는 가지고 있었을 겁니다. 그러나 그리스도를 영접한 후, 저는 질문을 해야만 했습니다. 왜 하나님은 그것을 허락하셨을까? 왜 하필 저였을까? 저는 그것을 받을 만한 짓을 한 적이 없습니다. 저는 그저 아이였을 뿐인데요. 그리고 제가 내린 결론은, 하나님의 말씀인 성경을 읽으며 내린 것이었습니다. 지적으로 저는 성경이 진리라는 것을 이해하게 되었습니다. 저는 전 세계 대학에서 250회 이상 그것을 변증해 왔습니다. 제가 왜 성경을 믿는지 압니다. 그러나 성경은 하나님이 창조를 창조하셨고, 하나님이 우리 모두를 창조하셨다고 보여줍니다. 그러나 타락이 있었고, 그것은 아담과 하와라는 부부에게까지 거슬러 올라갑니다. 그들이 하나님께 반역했을 때, 그들은 하나님으로부터 자신들을 소외시키는 잘못된 선택을 했습니다. 그 소외의 결과로, 심지어 주변 세상도 타락의 일부가 되었습니다. 그것은 더럽혀졌고, 하나님이 창조하신 그대로가 아니게 되었습니다. 구속을 갈망하는 주변 세상을 바라보며, 구속을 갈망하는 인간을 바라보며, 저는 깨달았습니다. 하나님은 제가 성적으로 학대받도록 하신 것이 아닙니다. 이제, 하나님은 그것을 허락하셨습니다. 타락한 세상에서, 타락한 사람들에 의해, 이 남자가 저에게 그랬듯이 마음에 악한 의도를 품은 사람들에 의해 허락하신 것입니다. 포르노그래피를 보고, 결국 저에게 그것을 행한 것입니다. 그러나 제가 깨달은 한 가지는, 영원 전부터 하나님은 이러한 일들이 일어날 것을 아셨고, 영원 전부터 이미 그것에 대한 해결책을 가지고 계셨다는 것입니다. 그것은 바로 그의 아들 예수 그리스도였습니다. 예수 그리스도께서 세상의 모든 죄, 하나님에 대한 반역의 대가를 치르기 위해 십자가에서 죽으셨을 때, 그것은 영원 전부터 하나님의 마음에 있었습니다. 그러고 나서 성경에서 하나님은 이 약속을 하셨습니다. 아, 저는 이 약속의 살아있는 증인입니다. 하나님은 \"모든 것이 합력하여 선을 이루게 하신다\"고 말씀하셨습니다. 이제, 제게 일어난 일과 여러분에게 일어났거나 일어나고 있는 일은 좋지 않습니다. 좋지 않습니다. 그러나 예수님은 모든 것이 좋다고 말씀하시지 않았습니다. 그분은 모든 것이 합력하여 선을 이루게 하신다고 말씀하셨습니다. 심지어 우리에게 일어나는 악한 일이나 제게 일어난 성적 학대, 강간까지도요. 그분은 그것을 가져다가 선을 위해 일하게 하실 것입니다. 그리고 하나님은 우리에게 출구를 주셨습니다. 제가 이 남자를 죽이겠다고 위협한 후, 그가 다시는 저를 건드린다면 정말로 죽였을 것입니다. 몇몇 대학생들과 교수들이 제게 예수 그리스도에 대해 말해주었습니다. 저는 그들을 비웃었습니다. 큰 농담이라고 생각했습니다. 그러나 그들은 제게 성경과 예수 그리스도의 인격을 지적으로 검토하여 그들이 누구인지, 성경이 하나님의 말씀인지 알아보라고 도전했습니다. 저는 그들을 비웃었습니다. 그것이 터무니없다고 생각했습니다. 왜 그랬을까요? 저는 기독교인들이 두 개의 뇌를 가지고 있다고 생각했습니다. 하나는 잃어버렸고, 다른 하나는 그것을 찾고 있다고요. 정말 그랬습니다. 그러나 제가 알게 된 것은 무엇일까요? 대학을 떠나 미국, 영국, 독일, 프랑스, 스위스를 여행하면서, 저는 예수님과 성경에 대해 전혀 몰랐던 증거들을 발견했습니다. 그리고 런던, 영국의 박물관, 도서관로 돌아왔습니다. 목요일 밤 6시 30분경이었습니다. 의자에 등을 기대고, 손을 머리 뒤로 깍지를 끼고, 모든 사람들 앞에서 말했습니다. \"그것은 사실이다, 사실이다, 사실이다.\" 제가 그 말로 의미한 것은, 제가 성경을 손에 들고 말할 수 있다는 것이었습니다. 제가 가진 것이 기록된 그대로이며 변하지 않았고, 기록된 것이 사실이라는 것이었습니다. 그 결과, 그해 12월 19일 밤 8시 30분에, 저는 성경의 예수님을 신뢰하게 되었습니다. 제가 아는 최선의 방법으로요. 그분은 \"우리가 죄를 자백하면 용서해 주신다\"고 말씀하셨고, 우리가 그의 아들을 구주와 주님으로 신뢰해야 한다고 말씀하셨습니다. 저는 그 모든 것을 이해하지는 못했지만, 예수님은 \"내가 문 밖에 서서 두드리노니, 누구든지 내 음성을 듣고 문을 열면 내가 들어가리라\"고 말씀하셨습니다. 그래서 저는 그냥 말했습니다. \"하나님, 지금 저를 용서해 주십시오. 예수님이 하신 일로 제 죄를 용서해 주심을 신뢰합니다. 그리고 지금 제 삶에 제 구주와 주님으로 들어와 주시기를 간구합니다.\" 제가 아는 것은, 아닙니다.하룻밤 사이에 일어난 일이 아닙니다. 약 6개월 동안 제 인생 전체가 변하기 시작했습니다. 그러나 학대 경험으로 돌아가 보니, 하나님께서 해결책을 가지고 계시다는 것을 알았습니다. 저는 다른 사람들의 악과 세상의 악으로 인한 많은 결과를 겪었다는 것을 알았고, 하나님께는 탈출구가 있다는 것을 알았습니다. 그것은 그의 아들을 통해서, 그리고 그를 둘러싼 교회, 즉 그리스도의 몸이라고 불리는 사람들을 통해서였습니다. 그래서 저에게 그리스도를 전해준 사람에게 가서 제 학대에 대해 이야기했습니다. 그는 저를 믿어주었습니다. 그리고 아시나요? 6개월 동안 그는 저를 멘토링해주고, 저를 만나주고, 성경, 즉 하나님의 말씀으로 저를 제자훈련시켜주었습니다. 그리고 무슨 일이 일어났나요? 6개월 동안 매주 한 번씩 그를 만나 제 마음을 나누었고, 그는 귀 기울여 들어주었습니다. 그는 성경을 가져와서 \"이것이 하나님께서 이것에 대해 말씀하시는 바입니다. 이것이 하나님께서 여기서 하시고자 하시는 일입니다\"라고 말하곤 했습니다. 하지만 제가 성경으로 인도해주기 전까지는 그것을 알지 못했습니다. 6개월 동안 조금씩 제 삶이 눈앞에서 변하는 것을 보았고, 그때 하나님의 말씀이 진실하다는 것을 깨달았습니다. 그는 모든 것이 합력하여 선을 이루게 하실 것입니다. 그것이 그가 모든 것을 일으키셨다는 의미는 아니지만, 당신 인생의 어떤 것이든 선으로 바꾸실 것입니다. 저는 그 증거입니다. 아시겠지만, 당신도 질문이 있을 것 같습니다. 저도 인생에 많은 질문이 있습니다. truelife.org에 가서 이 영상과 같은 다른 영상들을 클릭해보시면, 거의 모든 질문에 답해줄 영상이 있을 것입니다. 하지만 아마도 당신도 저와 조금 비슷할 것입니다. 저는 누군가와 눈을 마주하고 제 질문들에 대해 직접 소통하는 것을 좋아합니다. 특히 학대 분야에서는 이것이 매우 중요할 것입니다. 다시 truelife.org에 가서 교회 찾기를 클릭해보세요. 그러면 우편번호나 도시를 입력하면 해당 지역의 목사님들과 교회들이 이미 당신을 만나고 싶다고 말한 곳들을 바로 보여줄 것입니다. 멋지지 않나요? 당신을 아끼고 당신의 아픔에 대해 관심을 가져주는 누군가가 개인적으로 시간을 내어 당신을 만나고 질문에 답해줄 수 있습니다. 그 기회를 활용해보세요. 오늘 제 삶의 작은 부분이 되어주셔서 감사합니다. 하나님의 축복이 있기를!",[],{"id":280,"name":2656,"description":2657,"slug":2658,"background":2659,"thumbnail":2660,"supercategory":2661,"created_at":480,"updated_at":2662,"embed_thumbnail":2663,"embed_icon":2664,"featured_category":18,"name_es":2665,"description_es":2666,"playerembed":2667,"order":18,"name_fr":2668,"description_fr":2669,"name_ko":2670,"description_ko":2671,"answers":2672,"testimonials":2712,"isVideo":50},"Hell","Is there a place called Hell?","hell","https:\u002F\u002Fs3.amazonaws.com\u002Ftruelife1\u002Fbackgrounds\u002F29\u002Fcategorybackgrounds\u002Ffull.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Ftruelifeorg.s3.amazonaws.com\u002Fresources\u002F1671827851761_Screen%20Shot%202022-12-23%20at%203.36.43%20PM.png","Suffering Christianity","2023-08-03T06:57:15.431Z","https:\u002F\u002Ftruelifeorg.s3.amazonaws.com\u002Fresources\u002F1671827852588_Screen%20Shot%202022-12-23%20at%203.36.43%20PM.png","https:\u002F\u002Ftruelifeorg.s3.amazonaws.com\u002Fresources\u002FHell.png","El Infierno","\n\n¿Hay un lugar llamado el Infierno?","\u003C\u002Fiframe>\n\u003Ciframe src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplayer.vimeo.com\u002Fvideo\u002F157888272?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;color=BF1E2E&amp;autoplay=1\" width=\"935\" height=\"526\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen>\u003C\u002Fiframe>","\n\nEnfer","\n\nEst-ce qu'il y a un endroit appelé l'Enfer ?","\n\n지옥","\n\n지옥이라는 곳이 있나요?",[2673,2685,2699],{"id":1388,"title":2674,"description":2675,"featured":9,"transcript":190,"subtitle":190,"playerembed":190,"category_id":280,"slug":2676,"answertype":498,"created_at":778,"updated_at":2677,"thumbnail":2678,"embed_thumbnail":502,"embed_icon":503,"title_es":2679,"description_es":2680,"playerembed_es":18,"transcript_es":18,"title_fr":2681,"description_fr":2682,"playerembed_fr":18,"transcript_fr":18,"title_ko":2683,"description_ko":2684,"playerembed_ko":18,"transcript_ko":18,"question_id":18,"category_slug":2658,"category_name":-1},"How is an Eternity of Hell a Just Punishment for Sin?","\u003Cp>Hell is one of the most controversial beliefs in Christianity.

Sheol is used to describe the afterlife of both the righteous and the unrighteous in Ecclesiastes 9:2 and Psalm 89:48. So the word “Sheol” by itself does not indicate that Hell is real. However, the context surrounding the many uses of Sheol in the Old Testament, suggest that there are two separate Sheols: one for the godly and one for the wicked. For example, Psalm 139:8, seems to distinguish between Heaven and Sheol. Daniel 12:2 describes a coming day of judgment in which some will be judged “to shame and everlasting contempt.” Psalm 9:17 explains that “the wicked shall return to Sheol, [alongside] all the nations that forget God.” So while the details of Hell are not clearly described until the New Testament, the Old Testament does indicate that there is a place of eternal judgment for the wicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Many people believe that the only thing Jesus ever talked about was love and forgiveness. It might surprise them to learn that Jesus spoke far more about Hell than Heaven! Jesus provided the most striking imagery and powerful warnings about Hell. For example, in Matt. 3:12 and Mark 9:43, He described Hell as an unquenchable fire, and in Matt. 13:41-42 as a “blazing furnace” where there will be “weeping and gnashing of teeth. Not only did Jesus say that Hell is a dreadful inferno, but He also explained that Hell is an awful darkness (Matt. 8:12, 22:13). The story of Lazarus and the Rich Man in Luke 16:19-31 reveals (alongside other passages such as Matt. 25:46) that Hell is an eternal torment without relief. &nbsp;Jesus’ many warnings about Hell show that Hell is a real place to be avoided at all costs.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Some argue that Jesus’ words do not describe reality, but are just symbols. However, even if this were true, it does not make Hell any less awful or fearful. As Christian author R.C. Sproul explains, “if these images [of Hell] are indeed symbols, then we must conclude that the reality is worse than the symbol suggests. The function of symbols is to point beyond themselves to a higher or more intense state of actuality than the symbol itself can contain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It is only when we put together all of what Scripture says, that we get a complete picture of Hell. &nbsp;Hell is a lake of fire and darkness. More importantly, Hell is also eternal separation from God. The Bible tells us that God is Love itself. He is the source of all that is good, beautiful, and joyful (James 1:7). The most amazing description of Heaven is that it is eternal life with God (Heb. 9:24, 1 Cor. 13:12). But in Hell, God and all His goodness are barred from the wicked. Hell is the absence of God’s presence and the eternal wage earned by the lives of the unrighteous (2 Thess. 1:8-9).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Who are the unrighteous that will be punished with Hell? Scripture says that no one is righteous (Rom. 3:10, 23). Every man and woman who have walked this earth have sinned and need a Savior. Only Jesus Christ, the Son of God who became a man, lived a sinless life. Even though we cannot become righteous through our own efforts, Jesus died and rose again as payment for our sins. The Bible states that “Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.” (John 3:18) Everyone has been given the opportunity to respond to the free gift of Salvation that God has provided. A person may shun God and refuse His love, while preferring their &nbsp;own wickedness instead. &nbsp;However, when they do, they ultimately reject His presence and will spend eternity in Hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So how is an eternity in Hell a just punishment for a lifetime of sin? This is perhaps the wrong way to look at the issue. People often think of Hell as a punishment for individual actions, as if they are going to Hell because of small sins like stealing a candy bar from a grocery store. This idea misses the point entirely. No one is going to Hell “just because” they stole a candy bar. Instead, when we sin it reveals our unholy and sinful nature. Hell is a punishment not as much for what we do as for who we are. The “small sins” we commit demonstrate that we are drawn to sin, are not perfect people, and cannot live in the presence of a holy, perfect God. But God, in His amazing love, has provided a path for forgiveness and transformation through faith in Jesus Christ. Even so, many people, even after hearing the Gospel message, reject Jesus’ gift of salvation. Some lie to themselves and believe that they are “good enough” to get into Heaven. Others see their sin but reject God’s free gift of salvation, believing instead that through their own good works or religious activity, they can earn God’s favor. But the Bible is clear that no one is “good enough” (Rom. 3:10) and no one can earn their way into heaven (Isa. 64:6, Gal. 2:16). These people deceive themselves about their sinful nature and their inability to “earn” heaven. They choose to reject God and His saving mercy. &nbsp;And that’s why Hell is a just punishment. Hell isn’t as concerned about a lifetime of sin as it is about the eternal life of a sinner who refuses to accept God’s mercy and allow God to change that person’s heart and nature. The people who reject God’s mercy reject God Himself, and so are allowed to live apart from God for eternity. But those who recognize that they are tainted by sin and have faith God’s grace and the saving work of Jesus Christ will have eternal life with Him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Those who would like to read more on this topic are encouraged to check out:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>--- ONLINE RESOURCES ---\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Bible.org – What the Bible Says about Hell \u003Cbr>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fbible.org\u002Farticle\u002Fwhat-bible-says-about-hell\">https:\u002F\u002Fbible.org\u002Farticle\u002Fwhat-bible-says-about-hell\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Frank Turek – Why God Sends People to Hell\u003Cbr>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=3kHGg9-gI40\">https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=3kHGg9-gI40\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Compelling Truth – Is Hell Fair?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.compellingtruth.org\u002Fis-hell-fair.html\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.compellingtruth.org\u002Fis-hell-fair.html\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Apologetics Press – The Goodness of God and an Eternal Hell.\u003Cbr>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.apologeticspress.org\u002Fapcontent.aspx?category=11&amp;article=1141\">https:\u002F\u002Fwww.apologeticspress.org\u002Fapcontent.aspx?category=11&amp;article=1141\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>--- PRINT RESOURCES ---\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Peter Kreeft – Between Heaven and Hell \u003Cbr>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002FB008B9HNGG\">https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002FB008B9HNGG\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Stanley Gundry and William Crockett – Four Views on Hell\u003Cbr>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0310212685\">https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0310212685\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>","how-is-an-eternity-of-hell-a-just-punishment-for-sin","2026-07-29T15:38:32.347Z","https:\u002F\u002Fs3.amazonaws.com\u002Ftruelife1\u002Ficons\u002F113\u002Fanswerthumbnails\u002Ffull.jpg","¿Cómo es una eternidad del infierno un castigo justo por el pecado?","\u003Cp>El infierno es una de las creencias m&aacute;s controvertidas en el cristianismo. A muchas personas les resulta dif&iacute;cil aceptar la idea de que los pecados y la maldad de las personas tienen consecuencias eternas. Prefieren creer que el infierno es una invenci&oacute;n moderna, o tal vez una imagen po&eacute;tica que representa algo no tan temible. \"Pero cuando miramos la Biblia, vemos que ciertamente describe el infierno como un lugar real\".\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Las primeras indicaciones de que el infierno es un lugar real ocurren en el Antiguo Testamento. Ahora, el AT puede ser confuso, ya que la palabra hebrea para infierno es \"Sheol\". Sheol se refiere al lugar de descanso de los muertos y no necesariamente tiene el mismo significado que el infierno. Sheol se usa para describir la vida futura de los justos y los injustos en Eclesiast&eacute;s 9: 2 y Salmo 89:48. Entonces, la palabra \"Sheol\" en s&iacute; misma no indica que el infierno es real. Sin embargo, el contexto que rodea los muchos usos del Sheol en el Antiguo Testamento, sugiere que hay dos Sheols separados: uno para los piadosos y otro para los imp&iacute;os. Por ejemplo, el Salmo 139: 8 parece distinguir entre el Cielo y el Seol. Daniel 12: 2 describe un d&iacute;a de juicio venidero en el que algunos ser&aacute;n juzgados \"para verg&uuml;enza y desprecio eterno\". El Salmo 9:17 explica que \"los imp&iacute;os volver&aacute;n al Seol, [junto] a todas las naciones que se olvidan de Dios\". Si bien los detalles del infierno no se describen claramente hasta el Nuevo Testamento, el Antiguo Testamento indica que hay un lugar de juicio eterno para los imp&iacute;os.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Muchas personas creen que lo &uacute;nico de lo que Jes&uacute;s habl&oacute; fue del amor y el perd&oacute;n. &iexcl;Les sorprender&iacute;a saber que Jes&uacute;s habl&oacute; mucho m&aacute;s sobre el infierno que el cielo! Jes&uacute;s proporcion&oacute; las im&aacute;genes m&aacute;s llamativas y advertencias poderosas sobre el infierno. Por ejemplo, en Matt. 3:12 y Marcos 9:43, describi&oacute; el infierno como un fuego insaciable, y en Matt. 13: 41-42 como un \"horno ardiente\" donde habr&aacute; \"llanto y crujir de dientes\". Jes&uacute;s no solo dijo que el infierno es un infierno terrible, sino que tambi&eacute;n explic&oacute; que el infierno es una terrible oscuridad (Mateo 8:12, 22:13). La historia de L&aacute;zaro y el hombre rico en Lucas 16: 19-31 revela (junto con otros pasajes como Mateo 25:46) que el infierno es un tormento eterno sin alivio. Las muchas advertencias de Jes&uacute;s sobre el Infierno muestran que el Infierno es un lugar real para evitarlo a toda costa.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Algunos argumentan que las palabras de Jes&uacute;s no describen la realidad, sino que son solo s&iacute;mbolos.

La funci&oacute;n de los s&iacute;mbolos es apuntar m&aacute;s all&aacute; de s&iacute; mismos a un estado de actualidad m&aacute;s alto o m&aacute;s intenso que el s&iacute;mbolo mismo puede contener \".\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Es solo cuando juntamos todo lo que dice la Escritura, que obtenemos una imagen completa del Infierno. El infierno es un lago de fuego y oscuridad. M&aacute;s importante a&uacute;n, el infierno es tambi&eacute;n la separaci&oacute;n eterna de Dios. La Biblia nos dice que Dios es el amor mismo. &Eacute;l es la fuente de todo lo que es bueno, bello y alegre (Santiago 1: 7). La descripci&oacute;n m&aacute;s sorprendente del Cielo es que es la vida eterna con Dios (Heb. 9:24, 1 Cor. 13:12). Pero en el infierno, Dios y toda su bondad est&aacute;n excluidos de los imp&iacute;os. El infierno es la ausencia de la presencia de Dios y el salario eterno ganado por la vida de los injustos (2 Tes. 1: 8-9).\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>&iquest;Qui&eacute;nes son los injustos que ser&aacute;n castigados con el infierno? La escritura dice que nadie es justo (Rom. 3:10, 23). Todos los hombres y mujeres que han caminado por esta tierra han pecado y necesitan un Salvador. Solo Jesucristo, el Hijo de Dios que se hizo hombre, vivi&oacute; una vida sin pecado. A pesar de que no podemos ser justos por nuestros propios esfuerzos, Jes&uacute;s muri&oacute; y resucit&oacute; como pago por nuestros pecados. La Biblia dice que \"el que cree en &eacute;l no est&aacute; condenado, pero el que no cree ya est&aacute; condenado, porque no ha cre&iacute;do en el nombre del &uacute;nico Hijo de Dios\" (Juan 3:18). A todos se les ha dado la oportunidad. para responder al regalo gratuito de Salvaci&oacute;n que Dios ha provisto. Una persona puede rechazar a Dios y rechazar su amor, mientras prefiere su propia maldad. Sin embargo, cuando lo hacen, finalmente rechazan su presencia y pasar&aacute;n la eternidad en el infierno.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Entonces, &iquest;c&oacute;mo es una eternidad en el infierno un castigo justo por toda una vida de pecado? Esta es quiz&aacute;s la forma incorrecta de ver el problema. La gente a menudo piensa en el infierno como un castigo por acciones individuales, como si fueran al infierno debido a peque&ntilde;os pecados como robar una barra de caramelo de una tienda de comestibles. Esta idea pierde el punto por completo. Nadie ir&aacute; al infierno \"solo porque\" robaron una barra de chocolate. En cambio, cuando pecamos, revela nuestra naturaleza imp&iacute;a y pecaminosa. El infierno es un castigo no tanto por lo que hacemos como por lo que somos. Los \"pecados peque&ntilde;os\" que cometemos demuestran que somos atra&iacute;dos al pecado, no somos personas perfectas y no podemos vivir en presencia de un Dios santo y perfecto. Pero Dios, en su asombroso amor, ha provisto un camino para el perd&oacute;n y la transformaci&oacute;n a trav&eacute;s de la fe en Jesucristo. Aun as&iacute;, muchas personas, incluso despu&eacute;s de escuchar el mensaje del Evangelio, rechazan el regalo de salvaci&oacute;n de Jes&uacute;s. Algunos se mienten a s&iacute; mismos y creen que son \"lo suficientemente buenos\" para entrar al Cielo. Otros ven su pecado pero rechazan el don gratuito de salvaci&oacute;n de Dios, creyendo en cambio que a trav&eacute;s de sus propias buenas obras o actividades religiosas, pueden ganar el favor de Dios. Pero la Biblia es clara en que nadie es \"suficientemente bueno\" (Rom. 3:10) y nadie puede ganar su camino al cielo (Isa. 64: 6, Gal. 2:16). Estas personas se enga&ntilde;an a s&iacute; mismas acerca de su naturaleza pecaminosa y su incapacidad para \"ganarse\" el cielo. Eligen rechazar a Dios y su misericordia salvadora. Y es por eso que el infierno es un castigo justo. El infierno no est&aacute; tan preocupado por una vida de pecado como por la vida eterna de un pecador que se niega a aceptar la misericordia de Dios y permitir que Dios cambie el coraz&oacute;n y la naturaleza de esa persona. Las personas que rechazan la misericordia de Dios rechazan a Dios mismo, y as&iacute; se les permite vivir separados de Dios por la eternidad. Pero aquellos que reconocen que est&aacute;n contaminados por el pecado y tienen fe, la gracia de Dios y la obra salvadora de Jesucristo tendr&aacute;n vida eterna con &Eacute;l.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>Se recomienda a quienes deseen leer m&aacute;s sobre este tema que echen un vistazo:\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>--- ONLINE RESOURCES ---\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Bible.org &ndash; What the Bible Says about Hell&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>https:\u002F\u002Fbible.org\u002Farticle\u002Fwhat-bible-says-about-hell\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Frank Turek &ndash; Why God Sends People to Hell\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=3kHGg9-gI40\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Compelling Truth &ndash; Is Hell Fair?\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>http:\u002F\u002Fwww.compellingtruth.org\u002Fis-hell-fair.html\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Apologetics Press &ndash; The Goodness of God and an Eternal Hell.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>https:\u002F\u002Fwww.apologeticspress.org\u002Fapcontent.aspx?category=11&amp;article=1141\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>--- PRINT RESOURCES ---\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Peter Kreeft &ndash; Between Heaven and Hell&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002FB008B9HNGG\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Stanley Gundry and William Crockett &ndash; Four Views on Hell\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0310212685\u003C\u002Fp>","\n\nComment une éternité de l'enfer est une juste punition pour le péché?","\u003Cp>L’enfer est l’une des croyances les plus controversées du christianisme.

Non seulement Jésus a dit que l’enfer est un terrible brasier, mais il a aussi expliqué que l’enfer est une obscurité affreuse (Matt. 8:12, 22:13). L’histoire de Lazare et du riche dans Luc 16:19-31 révèle (avec d’autres passages tels que Matt. 25:46) que l’enfer est un tourment éternel sans répit.

Mais dans l’enfer, Dieu et toute sa bonté sont interdits aux méchants.

Une personne peut rejeter Dieu et refuser son amour, tout en préférant sa propre méchanceté à la place.

C’est peut-être la mauvaise façon d’aborder la question. Les gens pensent souvent que l’Enfer est un châtiment pour des actes individuels, comme s’ils allaient en Enfer à cause de petits péchés comme voler une barre de chocolat dans une épicerie. Cette idée manque complètement le sujet. Personne ne va en Enfer « juste parce qu’il » a volé une barre de chocolat. Au contraire, quand nous péchons, cela révèle notre nature impie et pécheresse. L’Enfer est un châtiment non pas tant pour ce que nous faisons que pour ce que nous sommes. Les « petits péchés » que nous commettons montrent que nous sommes attirés par le péché, que nous ne sommes pas des gens parfaits et que nous ne pouvons pas vivre en présence d’un Dieu saint et parfait. Mais Dieu, dans Son amour incroyable, a fourni un chemin de pardon et de transformation par la foi en Jésus-Christ. Malgré cela, beaucoup de gens, même après avoir entendu le message de l’Évangile, rejettent le don du salut de Jésus. Certains se mentent à eux-mêmes et croient qu’ils sont « assez bons » pour entrer au Ciel. D’autres voient leur péché mais rejettent le don gratuit du salut de Dieu, croyant plutôt qu’à travers leurs propres bonnes œuvres ou leur activité religieuse, ils peuvent mériter la faveur de Dieu. Mais la Bible est claire : personne n’est « assez bon » (Rm 3:10) et personne ne peut mériter son entrée au ciel (És 64:6, Ga 2:16). Ces gens se trompent eux-mêmes sur leur nature pécheresse et leur incapacité à « mériter » le ciel. Ils choisissent de rejeter Dieu et Sa miséricorde salvatrice. &nbsp;C’est pourquoi l’Enfer est un juste châtiment. L’Enfer ne concerne pas tant une vie de péché qu’il ne concerne la vie éternelle d’un pécheur qui refuse d’accepter la miséricorde de Dieu et de permettre à Dieu de changer le cœur et la nature de cette personne. Les gens qui rejettent la miséricorde de Dieu rejettent Dieu Lui-même, et sont donc autorisés à vivre éternellement séparés de Dieu. Mais ceux qui reconnaissent qu’ils sont souillés par le péché et ont la foi en la grâce de Dieu et l’œuvre salvatrice de Jésus-Christ auront la vie éternelle avec Lui.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ceux qui souhaitent en lire davantage sur ce sujet sont encouragés à consulter :\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>--- RESSOURCES EN LIGNE ---\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Bible.org – Ce que la Bible dit sur l’Enfer \u003Cbr>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fbible.org\u002Farticle\u002Fwhat-bible-says-about-hell\">https:\u002F\u002Fbible.org\u002Farticle\u002Fwhat-bible-says-about-hell\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Frank Turek – Pourquoi Dieu envoie des gens en Enfer\u003Cbr>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=3kHGg9-gI40\">https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=3kHGg9-gI40\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Compelling Truth – L’Enfer est-il juste ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.compellingtruth.org\u002Fis-hell-fair.html\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.compellingtruth.org\u002Fis-hell-fair.html\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Apologetics Press – La bonté de Dieu et un Enfer éternel.\u003Cbr>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.apologeticspress.org\u002Fapcontent.aspx?category=11&amp;article=1141\">https:\u002F\u002Fwww.apologeticspress.org\u002Fapcontent.aspx?category=11&amp;article=1141\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>--- RESSOURCES IMPRIMÉES ---\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Peter Kreeft – Entre le Ciel et l’Enfer \u003Cbr>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002FB008B9HNGG\">https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002FB008B9HNGG\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Stanley Gundry et William Crockett – Quatre points de vue sur l’Enfer\u003Cbr>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0310212685\">https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0310212685\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>","\n\n어떻게 지옥의 영원은 죄를 위한 정당한 징벌일까?","\u003Cp>지옥은 기독교에서 가장 논란이 많은 믿음 중 하나입니다. 많은 사람들은 사람들의 죄와 사악함이 영원한 결과를 가져온다는 생각을 받아들이기 어렵다고 느낍니다. 그들은 지옥이 현대의 발명품이거나, 그다지 두렵지 않은 무언가를 나타내는 시적 이미지일 것이라고 믿고 싶어합니다. “그러나 성경을 보면, 지옥이 실제 장소로 분명히 묘사되어 있음을 알 수 있습니다.”\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>지옥이 실제 장소라는 첫 번째 징후는 구약성경에서 나타납니다. 그런데 구약은 혼란스러울 수 있는데, 히브리어로 지옥을 가리키는 단어가 “스올(Sheol)”이기 때문입니다. 스올은 죽은 자의 안식처를 가리키며, 반드시 지옥과 같은 의미를 갖지는 않습니다. 스올은 전도서 9:2과 시편 89:48에서 의인과 악인 모두의 내세를 묘사하는 데 사용됩니다. 따라서 “스올”이라는 단어만으로는 지옥이 실재함을 나타내지 않습니다. 그러나 구약에서 스올이 여러 번 사용된 맥락을 보면, 경건한 자를 위한 스올과 악인을 위한 스올, 두 개의 별개의 스올이 있음을 시사합니다. 예를 들어, 시편 139:8은 하늘과 스올을 구분하는 것으로 보입니다. 다니엘 12:2은 심판의 날이 올 때, 어떤 이들은 “수치와 영원한 모욕”을 받게 될 것이라고 묘사합니다. 시편 9:17은 “악인은 스올로 돌아가고, 하나님을 잊어버린 모든 민족도 그리로 돌아가리라”고 설명합니다. 따라서 지옥에 대한 세부 사항은 신약성경에서야 분명히 묘사되지만, 구약은 악인을 위한 영원한 심판의 장소가 있음을 나타냅니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>많은 사람들은 예수님이 오직 사랑과 용서에 대해서만 말씀하셨다고 믿습니다. 그들에게는 예수님이 천국보다 지옥에 대해 훨씬 더 많이 말씀하셨다는 사실이 놀라울 것입니다! 예수님은 지옥에 대해 가장 강렬한 이미지와 강력한 경고를 주셨습니다. 예를 들어, 마태복음 3:12과 마가복음 9:43에서 예수님은 지옥을 꺼지지 않는 불로 묘사하셨고, 마태복음 13:41-42에서는 “불타는 용광로”로, 그곳에서 “울며 이를 갈게 될 것”이라고 하셨습니다. 예수님은 지옥이 무서운 불바다일 뿐만 아니라, 끔찍한 어둠이라고도 설명하셨습니다(마태복음 8:12, 22:13). 누가복음 16:19-31의 나사로와 부자의 이야기(그리고 마태복음 25:46과 같은 다른 구절들)는 지옥이 영원한 고통이며, 그 고통에서 벗어날 길이 없음을 보여줍니다. 예수님의 지옥에 대한 수많은 경고는 지옥이 실제 장소이며, 어떤 대가를 치러서라도 피해야 한다는 것을 보여줍니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>어떤 이들은 예수님의 말씀이 현실을 묘사하는 것이 아니라 단지 상징일 뿐이라고 주장합니다. 그러나 설령 그렇다고 해도, 지옥이 덜 끔찍하거나 두려운 것이 되지는 않습니다. 기독교 작가 R.C. 스프라울은 이렇게 설명합니다. “만약 이 지옥의 이미지들이 실제로 상징이라면, 우리는 현실이 상징이 암시하는 것보다 더 나쁘다고 결론지어야 합니다. 상징의 기능은 상징 자체가 담을 수 있는 것보다 더 높거나 더 강렬한 실제 상태를 가리키는 데 있습니다.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>성경이 말하는 모든 것을 종합할 때에야 비로소 지옥에 대한 완전한 그림을 얻을 수 있습니다. 지옥은 불의 호수이자 어둠입니다. 더 중요한 것은, 지옥은 하나님으로부터의 영원한 분리라는 점입니다. 성경은 하나님이 사랑 그 자체이시며, 모든 선하고 아름답고 기쁜 것의 근원이시라고 말씀합니다(야고보서 1:17). 천국에 대한 가장 놀라운 묘사는 하나님과 함께하는 영원한 생명이라는 것입니다(히브리서 9:24, 고린도전서 13:12). 그러나 지옥에서는 하나님과 그분의 모든 선하심이 악인들에게서 차단됩니다. 지옥은 하나님의 임재가 없는 곳이며, 불의한 삶이 받아야 할 영원한 대가입니다(데살로니가후서 1:8-9).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>지옥의 형벌을 받을 불의한 자들은 누구입니까? 성경은 의로운 자가 없다고 말합니다(로마서 3:10, 23). 이 땅을 걸어온 모든 남자와 여자는 죄를 지었으며, 구주가 필요합니다. 오직 하나님의 아들이신 예수 그리스도만이 사람이 되셔서 죄 없는 삶을 사셨습니다. 우리가 우리의 노력으로 의로워질 수는 없지만, 예수님은 우리의 죄에 대한 대가로 죽으시고 다시 살아나셨습니다. 성경은 “그를 믿는 자는 심판을 받지 아니하려니와 믿지 아니하는 자는 하나님의 독생자의 이름을 믿지 아니하므로 벌써 심판을 받은 것이니라”(요한복음 3:18)고 말씀합니다. 모든 사람은 하나님이 주신 구원의 선물을 받아들일 기회를 받았습니다. 어떤 이는 하나님을 외면하고 그분의 사랑을 거부하며, 대신 자신의 사악함을 택할 수도 있습니다. 그러나 그렇게 할 때, 그들은 결국 하나님의 임재를 거부하게 되고, 영원히 지옥에서 보내게 됩니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>그렇다면 지옥에서의 영원이 일생 동안의 죄에 대한 공정한 형벌인가? 이는 문제를 바라보는 잘못된 방식일 수 있습니다. 사람들은 종종 지옥을 개별 행동에 대한 형벌로 생각하며, 식료품점에서 사탕을 훔치는 것과 같은 작은 죄 때문에 지옥에 간다고 생각합니다. 이 생각은 요점을 완전히 놓치고 있습니다. 아무도 “단지” 사탕을 훔쳤기 때문에 지옥에 가는 것이 아닙니다. 대신, 우리가 죄를 지을 때 그것은 우리의 거룩하지 않고 죄 많은 본성을 드러냅니다. 지옥은 우리가 한 일 때문이라기보다는 우리가 누구인지에 대한 형벌입니다. 우리가 저지르는 “작은 죄”들은 우리가 죄에 끌리고, 완전한 사람이 아니며, 거룩하고 완전하신 하나님의 임재 안에서 살 수 없다는 것을 보여줍니다. 그러나 하나님께서는 놀라운 사랑으로 예수 그리스도를 믿는 믿음을 통해 용서와 변화의 길을 마련하셨습니다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 많은 사람들이 복음 메시지를 들은 후에도 예수님의 구원의 선물을 거부합니다. 어떤 이들은 스스로에게 거짓말을 하며 “천국에 들어가기에 충분히 선하다”고 믿습니다. 다른 이들은 자신의 죄를 보지만 하나님의 거저 주시는 구원의 선물을 거부하고, 대신 자신의 선행이나 종교 활동을 통해 하나님의 은혜를 얻을 수 있다고 믿습니다. 그러나 성경은 아무도 “선하지 않다”(롬 3:10)고 명확히 말하며, 아무도 자신의 노력으로 천국에 들어갈 수 없다고 합니다(사 64:6, 갈 2:16). 이 사람들은 자신의 죄 많은 본성과 “천국을 얻을 수 없다”는 사실에 대해 스스로를 속입니다. 그들은 하나님과 그분의 구원의 자비를 거부하기로 선택합니다. &nbsp;그리고 그것이 바로 지옥이 공정한 형벌인 이유입니다. 지옥은 일생 동안의 죄에 관한 것이 아니라, 하나님의 자비를 받아들이기를 거부하고 하나님이 그 사람의 마음과 본성을 변화시키도록 허락하지 않는 죄인의 영원한 삶에 관한 것입니다. 하나님의 자비를 거부하는 사람들은 하나님 자신을 거부하는 것이며, 따라서 영원히 하나님과 떨어져 살도록 허락받습니다. 그러나 자신이 죄로 물들어 있음을 인정하고 하나님의 은혜와 예수 그리스도의 구원 사역을 믿는 사람들은 그분과 함께 영생을 누릴 것입니다.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>이 주제에 대해 더 읽고 싶은 분들은 다음을 참고하시기 바랍니다:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>--- 온라인 자료 ---\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Bible.org – What the Bible Says about Hell \u003Cbr>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fbible.org\u002Farticle\u002Fwhat-bible-says-about-hell\">https:\u002F\u002Fbible.org\u002Farticle\u002Fwhat-bible-says-about-hell\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Frank Turek – Why God Sends People to Hell\u003Cbr>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=3kHGg9-gI40\">https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=3kHGg9-gI40\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Compelling Truth – Is Hell Fair?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.compellingtruth.org\u002Fis-hell-fair.html\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.compellingtruth.org\u002Fis-hell-fair.html\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Apologetics Press – The Goodness of God and an Eternal Hell.\u003Cbr>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.apologeticspress.org\u002Fapcontent.aspx?category=11&amp;article=1141\">https:\u002F\u002Fwww.apologeticspress.org\u002Fapcontent.aspx?category=11&amp;article=1141\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>--- 인쇄 자료 ---\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Peter Kreeft – Between Heaven and Hell \u003Cbr>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002FB008B9HNGG\">https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002FB008B9HNGG\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Stanley Gundry and William Crockett – Four Views on Hell\u003Cbr>\u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0310212685\">https:\u002F\u002Famzn.com\u002F0310212685\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>",{"id":2686,"title":2687,"description":2688,"featured":50,"transcript":190,"subtitle":2689,"playerembed":2667,"category_id":280,"slug":2690,"answertype":531,"created_at":751,"updated_at":2691,"thumbnail":2692,"embed_thumbnail":2693,"embed_icon":503,"title_es":2694,"description_es":2695,"playerembed_es":18,"transcript_es":18,"title_fr":2696,"description_fr":2697,"playerembed_fr":18,"transcript_fr":18,"title_ko":2671,"description_ko":2698,"playerembed_ko":18,"transcript_ko":18,"question_id":18,"category_slug":2658,"category_name":-1},111,"Is There a Place Called Hell?","\u003Cp>(If you are a pastor and your church is not a part of TrueLife.org, you are missing out on 80% evangelizing after one sermon.

I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.\r\n(Rev. 22:16)\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>\u003Cbr>\r\nIt’s clear from the context that these two passages aren’t talking about the\r\nsame person. The passage in Isaiah is a poetic reference to Satan and his fall.\r\nIn the context of Isaiah 14 Satan is referred to as the king of Babylon. Some\r\ndon’t agree and say this Isaiah passage isn’t about Satan but is indeed about\r\nthe king of Babylon. The problem with that view is that no earthly king could\r\ndo what this king aspired to do. If this passage isn’t talking about Satan then\r\nthe question about why Satan and Jesus are both called morning star is\r\nirrelevant. Our discussion would end here as there is no basis for asking the\r\nquestion about why Satan is called morning star. \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>We do\r\nbelieve Isaiah is talking about Satan and so we’ll continue our discussion.\u003Cbr>\r\n\u003Cbr>\r\nRevelation 22:16 is clearly identified as Jesus who is talking. He claims the\r\ntitle of bright morning star for Himself.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The first\r\ndifference we need to mention are the original words used for “morning star” in\r\nboth passages. The original words from the Hebrew and Greek translated “morning\r\nstar” aren’t the same words. Let’s look at this more closely. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>The Old\r\nTestament was written in Hebrew and the New Testament in Greek. The Hebrew word\r\nin Isaiah 14 for morning star is \u003Ci>helel\u003C\u002Fi>\r\nand literally means shining one. There are other Hebrew words that mean\r\n“morning star” (see Job 38:4-6) but those words aren’t used in Isaiah 14.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>In\r\nRevelation 22 the Greek word for star is \u003Ci>aster\u003C\u002Fi>.\r\nThe meaning of \u003Ci>helel \u003C\u002Fi>and \u003Ci>aster \u003C\u002Fi>are similar, but they are not the\r\nsame exact words in meaning. There is a Hebrew word with a meaning closer to\r\n“morning star” than the one used in Isaiah.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Another\r\ndifference between the passages is that in Revelation Jesus calls himself “the”\r\nmorning star. In Isaiah “the” isn’t there. Isaiah is often translated “O\r\nmorning star” for that reason. Jesus claims a unique role as “the” morning star\r\nas we’ll see in a moment. Even if Isaiah is calling Satan “morning star” he is\r\n“a” morning star, not “the” morning star!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>The first\r\nsignificant observation we can make is that Satan and Jesus are not described\r\nwith the same words. This is important. If the words had the exact same sense\r\nor meaning much more weight could be given to this correlation. As it is, it’s\r\npossible the two passages are saying the same thing about Satan and Jesus but\r\nit isn’t a certainty.\u003Cbr>\r\n\u003Cbr>\r\nPeople naturally look for meaning and significance wherever we can find it.\r\nThere is a logical fallacy that states that when two things have a correlation\r\nit’s significant. That just isn’t true. Just because two things \u003Ci>seem to be \u003C\u002Fi>connected (correlation), it\r\ndoesn’t mean they are.&nbsp; Correlation does\r\nnot demonstrate significance. We have seen some evidence to suggest that the\r\ncorrelation between Jesus and Satan both being described as the morning star\r\nmay not be true. However, let’s say that it is. Even if there is a correlation\r\nbetween Jesus and Satan both being called morning star, that doesn’t prove\r\nanything. \u003Cbr>\r\n\u003Cbr>\r\nIt’s also important to note that this isn’t the only possible correlation\r\nbetween Jesus and Satan in the Bible. Jesus is called the Lion of Judah in\r\nRevelation 5:5. Satan is called a roaring lion in 1 Peter 5:8. Jesus and Satan\r\nshare a similarity to lions. Jesus has the characteristic of being regal and\r\npowerful. Satan has the characteristic of devouring other creatures. Their\r\nsimilarity to lions is very different from each other! Even though there is a\r\ncorrelation, that doesn’t mean anything.\u003Cbr>\r\n\u003Cbr>\r\nFurther, these two passages, Isaiah 14 and Revelation 22 aren’t the only\r\npassages where the term “star” is used of Jesus or of angels.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Angels\r\nare called morning stars in Job 38:6-7 when they sang for joy when God created\r\nthe heavens and the earth. Satan was created as the most beautiful of all God’s\r\nangelic beings Ezekiel 28:12-15. Astrologers consider Venus, the morning star\r\nas the brightest.&nbsp; Since Satan was the\r\nmost beautiful and powerful of all the angels before he sinned, it’s\r\nappropriate that he is called morning star.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the\r\nOld Testament there was a false prophet Balaam who prophesied about a star\r\ncoming out of Jacob Numbers 24:17. Jesus is claiming this title for himself in\r\nRevelation 22:15. Jesus is called morning star in in two other passages,\r\nRevelation 2:28 and 2 Peter 1:19, as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>\u003Cbr>\r\nSatan is one of the angels. As the highest or greatest of all the angels it’s\r\nappropriate that he would be called brightest, morning star. Yet Jesus is\r\ncalled \u003Ci>the\u003C\u002Fi> morning star, clearly a\r\ndifference between him and all the other stars.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If all we knew about\r\nJesus and Satan was what we find in Isaiah 14 and Revelation 22 there might be\r\na basis for wondering if they are similar beings. But these are by no means the\r\nonly passages about Jesus and Satan.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>We could\r\nwrite volumes about what the Bible says about Jesus. One key passage will tell\r\nus what we need to know that relates to this issue. According to Colossians\r\n1:16-17 Jesus is the creator and Satan is a creature. This passage says,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For in him [Jesus] all\r\nthings were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible,\r\nwhether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been\r\ncreated through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things\r\nhold together.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jesus\r\ncreated Satan and every other spirit being. The passage in Isaiah that refers\r\nto Satan as morning star or shining one is all about his fall from his position\r\nof beauty and importance. He had an exalted position but he no longer holds it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>Conclusion\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jesus is\r\nthe bright and morning star that all will one day see in his beauty and glory!\r\nSatan was a morning star that fizzled out.

La mayoría ha oído que Jesús es el Hijo de Dios y que Satanás es un ángel caído. Pero ¿cómo era Satanás antes de caer? ¿Son Jesús y Satanás iguales?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Una razón por la que algunos piensan que podrían ser iguales es el hecho de que tanto Jesús como Satanás son referidos como la estrella de la mañana en la Biblia. Si eso es cierto, parece lógico que sean iguales. Veamos esta pregunta y veamos lo que dice la Biblia.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Primero, veamos los versículos a los que se refieren las personas cuando hacen esta pregunta. El versículo sobre Satanás está en Isaías.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>¡Cómo caíste del cielo,\u003Cspan>\u003Cbr>\r\n\u003C\u002Fspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;oh lucero, hijo de la aurora!\u003Cspan>\u003Cbr>\r\nFuiste derribado a la tierra,\u003Cbr>\r\n\u003C\u002Fspan>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;¡tú que debilitabas a las naciones!

El pasaje en Isaías es una referencia poética a Satanás y su caída. En el contexto de Isaías 14, Satanás es referido como el rey de Babilonia. Algunos no están de acuerdo y dicen que este pasaje de Isaías no es sobre Satanás, sino que es realmente sobre el rey de Babilonia. El problema con esa opinión es que ningún rey terrenal podría hacer lo que este rey aspiraba a hacer. Si este pasaje no habla de Satanás, entonces la pregunta sobre por qué Satanás y Jesús son ambos llamados estrella de la mañana es irrelevante. Nuestra discusión terminaría aquí, ya que no hay base para hacer la pregunta sobre por qué Satanás es llamado estrella de la mañana. \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>Creemos que Isaías está hablando de Satanás, así que continuaremos nuestra discusión.\u003Cbr>\r\n\u003Cbr>\r\nApocalipsis 22:16 está claramente identificado como Jesús quien está hablando. Él reclama el título de estrella resplandeciente de la mañana para sí mismo.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La primera diferencia que debemos mencionar son las palabras originales usadas para “estrella de la mañana” en ambos pasajes. Las palabras originales del hebreo y griego traducidas como “estrella de la mañana” no son las mismas palabras. Veamos esto más de cerca. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>El Antiguo Testamento fue escrito en hebreo y el Nuevo Testamento en griego. La palabra hebrea en Isaías 14 para estrella de la mañana es \u003Ci>helel\u003C\u002Fi> y literalmente significa el que brilla. Hay otras palabras hebreas que significan “estrella de la mañana” (ver Job 38:4-6) pero esas palabras no se usan en Isaías 14.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>En Apocalipsis 22 la palabra griega para estrella es \u003Ci>aster\u003C\u002Fi>. El significado de \u003Ci>helel\u003C\u002Fi> y \u003Ci>aster\u003C\u002Fi> son similares, pero no son exactamente las mismas palabras en significado. Hay una palabra hebrea con un significado más cercano a “estrella de la mañana” que la usada en Isaías.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Otra diferencia entre los pasajes es que en Apocalipsis Jesús se llama a sí mismo “la” estrella de la mañana. En Isaías no está “la”. Isaías a menudo se traduce como “Oh estrella de la mañana” por esa razón. Jesús reclama un papel único como “la” estrella de la mañana como veremos en un momento. ¡Incluso si Isaías está llamando a Satanás “estrella de la mañana”, él es “una” estrella de la mañana, no “la” estrella de la mañana!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>La primera observación significativa que podemos hacer es que Satanás y Jesús no se describen con las mismas palabras. Esto es importante. Si las palabras tuvieran exactamente el mismo sentido o significado, se podría dar mucho más peso a esta correlación. Tal como está, es posible que los dos pasajes estén diciendo lo mismo sobre Satanás y Jesús, pero no es una certeza.\u003Cbr>\r\n\u003Cbr>\r\nLas personas naturalmente buscan significado y significancia donde podamos encontrarlo. Hay una falacia lógica que establece que cuando dos cosas tienen una correlación es significativa. Eso simplemente no es verdad. Solo porque dos cosas \u003Ci>parecen estar\u003C\u002Fi> conectadas (correlación), no significa que lo estén. La correlación no demuestra significancia. Hemos visto alguna evidencia que sugiere que la correlación entre Jesús y Satanás ambos siendo descritos como la estrella de la mañana puede no ser cierta. Sin embargo, digamos que lo es. Incluso si hay una correlación entre Jesús y Satanás ambos siendo llamados estrella de la mañana, eso no prueba nada. \u003Cbr>\r\n\u003Cbr>\r\nTambién es importante notar que esta no es la única correlación posible entre Jesús y Satanás en la Biblia. Jesús es llamado el León de Judá en Apocalipsis 5:5. Satanás es llamado un león rugiente en 1 Pedro 5:8. Jesús y Satanás comparten una similitud con los leones. Jesús tiene la característica de ser regio y poderoso. Satanás tiene la característica de devorar a otras criaturas. ¡Su similitud con los leones es muy diferente entre sí! Aunque hay una correlación, eso no significa nada.\u003Cbr>\r\n\u003Cbr>\r\nAdemás, estos dos pasajes, Isaías 14 y Apocalipsis 22 no son los únicos pasajes donde el término “estrella” se usa de Jesús o de los ángeles.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Los ángeles son llamados estrellas de la mañana en Job 38:6-7 cuando cantaron de alegría cuando Dios creó los cielos y la tierra. Satanás fue creado como el más hermoso de todos los seres angelicales de Dios Ezequiel 28:12-15. Los astrólogos consideran a Venus, la estrella de la mañana, como la más brillante. Dado que Satanás era el más hermoso y poderoso de todos los ángeles antes de pecar, es apropiado que se le llame estrella de la mañana.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>En el Antiguo Testamento había un falso profeta Balaam que profetizó sobre una estrella que saldría de Jacob Números 24:17.

Un pasaje clave nos dirá lo que necesitamos saber en relación con este tema. Según Colosenses 1:16-17, Jesús es el creador y Satanás es una criatura. Este pasaje dice,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Porque en él [Jesús] fueron creadas todas las cosas: las que hay en los cielos y las que hay en la tierra, visibles e invisibles; sean tronos, sean dominios, sean principados, sean potestades; todo fue creado por medio de él y para él.

Le passage d’Ésaïe est une référence poétique à Satan et à sa chute. Dans le contexte d’Ésaïe 14, Satan est désigné comme le roi de Babylone. Certains ne sont pas d’accord et disent que ce passage d’Ésaïe ne concerne pas Satan mais bien le roi de Babylone. Le problème avec cette interprétation est qu’aucun roi terrestre ne pourrait faire ce que ce roi aspirait à faire. Si ce passage ne parle pas de Satan, alors la question de savoir pourquoi Satan et Jésus sont tous deux appelés étoile du matin n’a plus de raison d’être. Notre discussion s’arrêterait ici, car il n’y aurait plus aucun fondement pour poser la question sur la raison pour laquelle Satan est appelé étoile du matin.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>Nous croyons qu’Ésaïe parle bien de Satan et nous poursuivrons donc notre discussion.\u003Cbr>\r\n\u003Cbr>\r\nApocalypse 22:16 identifie clairement Jésus comme celui qui parle.

Examinons cela de plus près.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>L’Ancien Testament a été écrit en hébreu et le Nouveau Testament en grec. Le mot hébreu dans Ésaïe 14 pour « étoile du matin » est \u003Ci>helel\u003C\u002Fi> et signifie littéralement « celui qui brille ». Il existe d’autres mots hébreux qui signifient « étoile du matin » (voir Job 38:4-6), mais ces mots ne sont pas utilisés dans Ésaïe 14.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>Dans l’Apocalypse 22, le mot grec pour « étoile » est \u003Ci>aster\u003C\u002Fi>. La signification de \u003Ci>helel\u003C\u002Fi> et \u003Ci>aster\u003C\u002Fi> est similaire, mais ce ne sont pas exactement les mêmes mots en termes de sens. Il existe un mot hébreu dont le sens est plus proche de « étoile du matin » que celui utilisé dans Ésaïe.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Une autre différence entre les passages est que dans l’Apocalypse, Jésus s’appelle lui-même « l’étoile du matin ». Dans Ésaïe, l’article défini « l’ » n’est pas présent. C’est pourquoi Ésaïe est souvent traduit par « Ô étoile du matin ». Jésus revendique un rôle unique en tant que « l’étoile du matin », comme nous le verrons dans un instant. Même si Ésaïe appelle Satan « étoile du matin », il s’agit d’« une » étoile du matin, et non de « l’étoile du matin » !\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>La première observation significative que nous pouvons faire est que Satan et Jésus ne sont pas décrits avec les mêmes mots. C’est important. Si les mots avaient exactement le même sens ou la même signification, cette corrélation aurait beaucoup plus de poids. Tel qu’il est, il est possible que les deux passages disent la même chose à propos de Satan et de Jésus, mais ce n’est pas une certitude.\u003Cbr>\r\n\u003Cbr>\r\nLes gens cherchent naturellement du sens et de la signification partout où ils le peuvent. Il existe un sophisme qui affirme que lorsque deux choses sont corrélées, cela est significatif. Ce n’est tout simplement pas vrai. Le fait que deux choses \u003Ci>paraissent\u003C\u002Fi> être liées (corrélation) ne signifie pas qu’elles le sont réellement. La corrélation ne démontre pas la signification. Nous avons vu des éléments qui suggèrent que la corrélation entre Jésus et Satan, tous deux décrits comme l’étoile du matin, pourrait ne pas être vraie. Cependant, supposons qu’elle le soit. Même s’il existe une corrélation entre Jésus et Satan, tous deux appelés étoile du matin, cela ne prouve rien.\u003Cbr>\r\n\u003Cbr>\r\nIl est également important de noter que ce n’est pas la seule corrélation possible entre Jésus et Satan dans la Bible. Jésus est appelé le Lion de Juda dans l’Apocalypse 5:5. Satan est appelé un lion rugissant dans 1 Pierre 5:8. Jésus et Satan partagent une ressemblance avec les lions. Jésus a la caractéristique d’être royal et puissant. Satan a la caractéristique de dévorer d’autres créatures. Leur ressemblance avec les lions est très différente l’une de l’autre ! Même s’il existe une corrélation, cela ne signifie rien.\u003Cbr>\r\n\u003Cbr>\r\nDe plus, ces deux passages, Ésaïe 14 et Apocalypse 22, ne sont pas les seuls passages où le terme « étoile » est utilisé pour Jésus ou pour les anges.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Les anges sont appelés étoiles du matin dans Job 38:6-7 lorsqu’ils chantaient de joie lors de la création des cieux et de la terre par Dieu. Satan a été créé comme le plus beau de tous les êtres angéliques de Dieu (Ézéchiel 28:12-15). Les astrologues considèrent Vénus, l’étoile du matin, comme la plus brillante. Puisque Satan était le plus beau et le plus puissant de tous les anges avant de pécher, il est approprié qu’il soit appelé étoile du matin.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dans l’Ancien Testament, il y avait un faux prophète, Balaam, qui prophétisa au sujet d’une étoile sortant de Jacob (Nombres 24:17). Jésus revendique ce titre pour lui-même dans l’Apocalypse 22:16. Jésus est également appelé étoile du matin dans deux autres passages : Apocalypse 2:28 et 2 Pierre 1:19.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>\u003Cbr>Satan est l’un des anges.

있지만(욥 38:4-6 참조), 이사야 14장에서는 사용되지 않았습니다.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>요한계시록 22장에서 별에 해당하는 헬라어 단어는 \u003Ci>아스테르(aster)\u003C\u002Fi>입니다.

있습니다.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>두 구절 사이의 또 다른 차이점은 요한계시록에서 예수님이 자신을 “그” 샛별이라고 부르신다는 것입니다. 이사야서에는 “그”라는 정관사가 없습니다. 이사야서는 종종 그 이유로 “오 샛별이여”로 번역됩니다. 예수님은 잠시 후에 보게 되겠지만, “그” 샛별로서 독특한 역할을 주장하십니다. 설령 이사야서가 사탄을 “샛별”이라고 부른다 하더라도, 그는 “한” 샛별이지, “그” 샛별이 아닙니다!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>우리가 처음으로 주목할 수 있는 중요한 관찰은 사탄과 예수님이 같은 단어로 묘사되지 않았다는 것입니다. 이것은 중요합니다. 만약 단어들이 정확히 같은 의미나 뜻을 가졌다면, 이 상관관계에 훨씬 더 많은 비중을 둘 수 있을 것입니다. 현재로서는 두 구절이 사탄과 예수님에 대해 같은 것을 말하고 있을 가능성은 있지만, 그것이 확실하지는 않습니다.\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\n사람들은 자연스럽게 의미와 중요성을 어디서든 찾으려 합니다. 두

As a “religion,” Wicca is loosely organized and has a system of leaders, but no central or absolute authority. Wiccans may carry out their worship practices as they wish, whether alone (as solitary practitioners) or as a part of a group (also called a coven). \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Most Wiccans embrace a duotheistic belief system involving a goddess (the Moon Goddess) and a god (the Horned God). Others may embrace a polytheistic system involving many gods. Wiccans view their deities as forms of ancient, pre-Christian divinities. Some worship gods and goddesses from a variety of pantheons (Greek, Roman, and so on). Wiccan appeals to a broad variety of people and especially to women. &nbsp;This is due largely to the reverence for the Moon Goddess, the respect for nature, and the care for the earth. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Rather than strictly following a single holy text like the Bible, the Koran, or the Gita, Wiccans utilize a book called the Book of Shadows which includes a variety of texts from different authors. This Book contains instructions for how to perform rituals and spells, as well as religious poetry and chants. Wiccan festivals known as “estabats” follow the cycles of the Moon and the Sun. Esbats are associated with the Moon Goddess, and seasonal festivals known as Sabbats are associated with the Sun, or the Horned God. Many Wiccan celebrations correspond closely with the practices and dates\u002Fseasons of Christian holidays or the festivals of other religions (such as Samhain on Halloween and Yuletide on December 22, a few days before Christmas). \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Over the past twenty years, our culture has seen a meteoric rise of interest in Wicca and magic. This is due to, in part, to the popularity of book series such as Harry Potter, Twilight, and witchcraft-related TV shows and movies. As a result, Wicca has become one of the fastest-growing spiritual movements in America. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Is Wicca witchcraft? Yes, without a doubt. In fact, the term Wicca itself derives from the Old English term for “witch.” Many Wiccan practitioners wear necklaces or other jewelry bearing symbols called “pentacles,” which bear the five-pointed star (or pentagram) used as a symbol of Wicca. The five points of the star represent the five classical elements, or symbolic representations of the phases of matter (air, fire, water, earth, and spirit). These five elements are invoked during Wiccan celebrations and rituals, especially when practitioners form a magic circle. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A creed called the Wiccan Rede (pronounced “reed”) provides the foundational moral principle of the Wiccan belief system. A common form of the Rede is, “An it harm none, do what ye will.” This may be translated as, “As long as your actions do not harm anyone, do whatever you want.” However, this creed is somewhat vague, and the concept of “harm” can be interpreted in a variety of ways. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Some practitioners of Wicca and witchcraft may attempt to differentiate between what they call “white magic” (which they may claim is “harmless”) and “black magic.” However, the Bible prohibits all practices of sorcery, the magic arts, and witchcraft.

In fact, there is a branch of Wicca called “Christian Wicca” in which practitioners attempt to meld aspects of Christianity with nature worship, idol worship, and other pagan practices. However, the Bible indicates that a true, committed follower of God must not be involved in the worship of idols, sorcery, or the practice of magic. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Rather than focusing on determining absolute truth, Wiccans perform their rituals for the purpose of creating a religious or spiritual experience that will alter their consciousness. Their belief system is more experiential than theological.

Fue presentado al p&uacute;blico en 1954 por Gerald Gardner, un funcionario brit&aacute;nico retirado. Como \"religi&oacute;n\", Wicca est&aacute; poco organizada y tiene un sistema de l&iacute;deres, pero no tiene una autoridad central o absoluta. Los wiccanos llevan a cabo sus pr&aacute;cticas de adoraci&oacute;n, ya sea solos (como practicantes solitarios) o como parte de un grupo (tambi&eacute;n llamado aquelarre).\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>La mayor&iacute;a de los wiccanos adoptan un sistema de creencias duote&iacute;stas (dos dioses) que involucra a una diosa (la Diosa de la Luna) y un dios (el Dios de los Cuernos). Otros pueden adoptar un sistema polite&iacute;sta que involucra a muchos dioses. Los wiccanos ven a sus deidades como formas de antiguas divinidades precristianas. Algunos adoran a dioses y diosas de una variedad de panteones (griegos, romanos, etc.). La Wiccania atrae a una amplia variedad de personas y especialmente a las mujeres. Esto debido en gran manera a la reverencia que tienen por la diosa de la luna, el respeto por la naturaleza y el cuidado de la tierra.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>En lugar de seguir estrictamente un solo texto sagrado como la Biblia, el Cor&aacute;n o el Gita, los wiccanos utilizan un libro llamado Libro de las Sombras que incluye una variedad de textos de diferentes autores. Este libro contiene instrucciones sobre c&oacute;mo realizar rituales y hechizos, as&iacute; como poes&iacute;a y cantos religiosos. Los festivales de Wiccanos conocidos como \"estebats\" siguen los ciclos de la Luna y el Sol. Los esbats est&aacute;n asociados con la diosa de la Luna, y los festivales de temporada conocidos como Sabbats est&aacute;n asociados con el Sol o el dios cornudo. Muchas celebraciones de Wiccania corresponden cercanamente con las pr&aacute;cticas y fechas \u002F temporadas de las fiestas cristianas o los festivales de otras religiones (como Samhain en Halloween y Yuletide el 22 de diciembre, unos d&iacute;as antes de Navidad).\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>En los &uacute;ltimos veinte a&ntilde;os, nuestra cultura ha visto un aumento mete&oacute;rico de inter&eacute;s en la Wicca y la magia.

Muchos practicantes de Wicca usan collares u otras joyas que llevan s&iacute;mbolos llamados \"pent&aacute;culos\", que llevan la estrella de cinco puntas (o pentagrama) utilizada como s&iacute;mbolo de Wicca. Los cinco puntos de la estrella representan los cinco elementos cl&aacute;sicos, o representaciones simb&oacute;licas de las fases de la materia (aire, fuego, agua, tierra y esp&iacute;ritu).

De hecho, hay una rama de la Wicca llamada \"Wicca cristiana\" en la que los practicantes intentan combinar aspectos del cristianismo con la adoraci&oacute;n de la naturaleza, la adoraci&oacute;n de &iacute;dolos y otras pr&aacute;cticas paganas.

Certains adorent des dieux et des déesses issus d'une variété de panthéons (grec, romain, etc.). La Wicca attire une grande variété de personnes, en particulier les femmes.

Les festivals wiccans connus sous le nom d'« esbats » suivent les cycles de la Lune et du Soleil.

Realize what Jesus did for you.&nbsp;Realize there how much Jesus loves you, and in the same way . . . love that woman sacrificially.&nbsp;Be willing to put your life on the line for this woman that God has brought into your life.&nbsp;Real love is not so much an emotion, as it is a&nbsp;decision. It’s an act of your will . . . “I love her even when she is not lovely.”&nbsp;Jesus loved you when he died on the cross when you weren’t lovely. In the same way, a husband is to love his wife in an unconditional kind of way.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Knowing\u002FUnderstanding a Wife:&nbsp;The Bible also says that a man is to bless wife his by knowing her and understanding her. Now, that’s quite a challenge.

El Pecado y la Batalla de los Sexos\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La batalla de los sexos comenzó . . . cuando Satanás, por medio de la serpiente, engañó a Eva y luego a Adán, y trágicamente el mundo entero fue sumido en el pecado.&nbsp;Efectos de la Caída:&nbsp;La mujer ahora intentará usurpar la autoridad de su marido o se someterá, y de muchas maneras, actuará como una flor de pared y será&nbsp;pisoteada.&nbsp;El hombre, por otro lado, será dominador, o abdicará de su responsabilidad de liderazgo&nbsp;que Dios le&nbsp;ha dado.&nbsp;Afortunadamente, a través de Jesucristo&nbsp;todo eso puede ser redimido, y la relación rota puede ser restaurada.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dios ha ordenado tres instituciones:&nbsp;Ordenó el hogar.&nbsp;Ordenó el gobierno.

Las Mujeres y la Sumisión: Una Mirada Más Cercana\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La sumisión de ninguna manera implica inferioridad.&nbsp;La Biblia enseña que nuestro Dios es 1 (uno), sin embargo nuestro Dios es 3 (tres)&nbsp;personas.&nbsp;Sin embargo, para proveer salvación para toda la humanidad, Dios el Hijo, que es igual a&nbsp;Dios el Padre, voluntariamente se somete a Su Padre. con el propósito de salvarnos de nuestros pecados.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Así&nbsp;Él [Jesús] es igual en Su esencia, pero es sumiso en Su asignación para el propósito de salvar a hombres y mujeres de sus pecados.&nbsp;Señoras, su modelo definitivo de cómo someterse en la relación del matrimonio es cómo Jesús se somete a Su Padre.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cp>En 1 Pedro 3 . . . se nos dice allí que si tienes una mujer salva y está casada con un hombre no salvo, si [ella] quiere ganar a ese marido para Cristo, entonces sométase. La Biblia en realidad dice [que ella] puede ganarlo para Cristo sin una palabra por su espíritu apacible y tranquilo.&nbsp;Una mujer puede bendecir a su marido en el matrimonio a través de su sumisión, pero también puede bendecirlo admirándolo o admirándolo.&nbsp;Le habla al corazón. Alimenta su alma. Lo edifica.&nbsp;Un hombre necesita saber que hay alguien de su lado que es su mayor animadora&nbsp;y su mayor fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>VI. Los Hombres y el Amar\u002FConocer: Una Mirada Más Cercana\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Un hombre, por otro lado, es llamado por Dios a amar a su esposa y a conocerla. [El Apóstol] Pablo fundamenta su entendimiento del matrimonio en la expiación.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amar a una Esposa:&nbsp;Esposos, si quieren saber cómo amar correctamente a sus esposas, entonces miren a la cruz. Realicen lo que Jesús hizo por ustedes.&nbsp;Realicen cuánto los ama Jesús, y de la misma manera . . . amen a esa mujer sacrificadamente.&nbsp;Estén dispuestos a poner su vida en juego por esta mujer que Dios ha traído a su vida.&nbsp;El verdadero amor no es tanto una emoción, como es una&nbsp;decisión. Es un acto de su voluntad . . . “La amo incluso cuando no es amable.”&nbsp;Jesús los amó cuando murió en la cruz cuando ustedes no eran amables. De la misma manera, un marido debe amar a su esposa de manera incondicional.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conocer\u002FEntender a la Esposa:&nbsp;La Biblia también dice que un hombre debe bendecir a su esposa conociéndola y entendiéndola. Ahora bien, eso es todo un desafío. Las mujeres son muy diferentes de los hombres.&nbsp;Las mujeres son mucho más complejas, por lo que un hombre realmente está llamado a una tarea de por vida de estudiarla, de llegar a conocerla y de mejorar en entenderla.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cp>VII.

Compagnons dans l’Éden : Le premier homme et la première femme\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ce que Dieu a créé, Il a déclaré que tout était bon, jusqu’à ce qu’Il regarde la situation d’Adam sans compagne, et alors Dieu a dit « ce n’est pas bon ». C’est pourquoi Dieu est intervenu et a créé pour l’homme une femme afin qu’il ait une compagne pour la vie.&nbsp;En fait, après la création d’Ève, alors qu’Adam et elle étaient ensemble dans le jardin, Dieu a dit « C’est très, très bon ».\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>II. Le péché et la bataille des sexes\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La bataille des sexes a commencé lorsque Satan, par l’intermédiaire d’un serpent, a trompé Ève puis Adam, et tragiquement le monde entier a été plongé dans le péché.&nbsp;Les effets de la Chute :&nbsp;Une femme cherchera désormais soit à usurper l’autorité de son mari, soit elle cédera, et de bien des façons, se comportera comme une femme effacée et se laissera dominer.&nbsp;L’homme, quant à lui, sera soit dominateur, soit il abdiquera la responsabilité de leadership que Dieu lui a donnée.&nbsp;Heureusement, par Jésus-Christ, tout cela peut être racheté, et la relation brisée peut être rétablie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dieu a ordonné trois institutions :&nbsp;Il a ordonné le foyer.&nbsp;Il a ordonné le gouvernement. Il a ordonné l’Église.&nbsp;[Ce n’est] pas un hasard si la première chose que Dieu a ordonnée a été le foyer. [Dans ce cadre,] Il a ordonné le mariage. Il nous l’a donné comme un merveilleux cadeau à savourer.&nbsp;La Bible a beaucoup à dire sur la manière dont nous pouvons avoir un mariage bon, sain et béni.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cp>III. La rédemption\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Passages sur le mariage dans l’AT :&nbsp;Genèse 1 et 2.&nbsp;Dieu consacre même un livre entier au sujet du mariage et, en particulier, de l’intimité dans le mariage. Nous appelons ce livre le Cantique des Cantiques.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Passages sur le mariage dans le NT :&nbsp;Jésus a béni le mariage, Il a participé à un mariage… qui est relaté dans Jean, chapitre 2.&nbsp;Il nous dit… dans l’Évangile de Matthieu que le divorce n’est pas quelque chose que Dieu a prévu. Dieu est un Dieu bon qui veut nous voir avoir de bonnes relations, et donc Dieu a voulu qu’un homme et une femme s’unissent dans l’alliance du mariage et Son dessein était que cela dure toute une vie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>IV. Question centrale :&nbsp;[Pourtant] il y a tant de divorces, tant de souffrances, tant de ruptures. Comment est-il possible que quelqu’un puisse réellement jouir d’un bon mariage ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sous l’inspiration du Saint-Esprit, l’apôtre Paul, dans Éphésiens 5:21-33, nous donne ce que nous pourrions appeler une description de poste tant pour l’homme que pour la femme. On peut en fait la résumer en deux propositions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Descriptions de poste du mariage :&nbsp;Pour une femme qui est croyante, qui a Jésus-Christ dans sa vie, elle doit d’abord se soumettre à son mari, et ensuite elle doit le bénir en le respectant et en l’admirant.&nbsp;D’un autre côté, un homme est appelé par Dieu à aimer sa femme, et il est aussi appelé par Dieu à… travailler très dur pour connaître et comprendre sa femme.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>V. Les femmes et la soumission : un examen plus approfondi\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La soumission n’implique en aucun cas l’infériorité.&nbsp;La Bible enseigne que notre Dieu est 1 (un), mais que notre Dieu est 3 (trois) personnes.&nbsp;Pourtant, pour procurer le salut à toute l’humanité, Dieu le Fils, qui est égal à Dieu le Père, s’est soumis volontairement à Son Père dans le but de nous sauver de nos péchés.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ainsi, Il [Jésus] est égal dans Son essence, mais Il est soumis dans Son affectation dans le but de sauver les hommes et les femmes de leurs péchés.&nbsp;Mesdames, votre modèle ultime pour savoir comment vous soumettre dans la relation du mariage est la manière dont Jésus se soumet à Son Père.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cp>Dans 1 Pierre 3… nous y lisons que si une femme sauvée est mariée à un homme non sauvé, si [elle] veut gagner ce mari à Christ, alors qu’elle se soumette. La Bible dit en fait [qu’elle] peut le gagner à Christ sans une parole, par son esprit doux et tranquille.&nbsp;Une femme peut bénir son mari dans le mariage par sa soumission, mais elle peut aussi le bénir en l’admirant.&nbsp;Cela parle à son cœur. Cela nourrit son âme. Cela l’édifie.&nbsp;Un homme a besoin de savoir qu’il y a quelqu’un dans son camp qui est sa plus grande supportrice et sa plus grande fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>VI. Les hommes et l’amour\u002Fla connaissance : un examen plus approfondi\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Un homme, d’un autre côté, est appelé par Dieu à la fois à aimer sa femme et à la connaître. [L’apôtre] Paul fonde sa compréhension du mariage sur l’expiation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Aimer une épouse :&nbsp;Maris, si vous voulez savoir comment aimer correctement vos femmes, regardez la croix. Réalisez ce que Jésus a fait pour vous.&nbsp;Réalisez combien Jésus vous aime, et de la même manière… aimez cette femme de façon sacrificielle.&nbsp;Soyez prêt à risquer votre vie pour cette femme que Dieu a amenée dans votre vie.&nbsp;Le véritable amour n’est pas tant une émotion qu’une décision. C’est un acte de votre volonté… « Je l’aime même quand elle n’est pas aimable. » Jésus vous a aimés quand Il est mort sur la croix alors que vous n’étiez pas aimables. De la même manière, un mari doit aimer sa femme d’une manière inconditionnelle.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Connaître\u002FComprendre une épouse&nbsp;: La Bible dit également qu’un homme doit bénir son épouse en la connaissant et en la comprenant. Or, c’est tout un défi.

With continued viewing, the brain becomes accustomed to this release and demands more and more dopamine.&nbsp;Addiction in the Soul:&nbsp;Addiction occurs because we all long for something to fulfill us, and the&nbsp;sexual images . . . gives us a sense of&nbsp;validation and fulfillment.&nbsp;We are able to pursue our most base passions in the anonymity of cyber-space.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>VII.

Un estudio de investigaci&oacute;n revel&oacute; que 40 millones de adultos en los Estados Unidos, es decir, casi 1\u002F5 de todos los estadounidenses con acceso a Internet, constantemente est&aacute;n viendo pornograf&iacute;a basada en la web. Tr&aacute;gicamente, millones de ni&ntilde;os menores de edad e impresionables se encuentran entre esos 40 millones. Antes de que apareciera el Internet, la edad promedio de las personas expuestas a la pornograf&iacute;a era de 12 a&ntilde;os.

S&iacute;. Por eso es un gran negocio. Cualquier intento de legislar el asunto genera pantallas de proveedores de pornograf&iacute;a sobre la libertad de prensa y la libertad de expresi&oacute;n. Pero en realidad, \"se trata de los Benjamins\", como dicen los ni&ntilde;os. El dinero, no las libertades civiles, es lo que est&aacute; impulsando esta industria. Cada a&ntilde;o, la industria del porno en los EE. UU. Recibe 52.800 millones de d&oacute;lares. Eso hace que los ingresos de la industria del porno sean m&aacute;s que los ingresos combinados de Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, Netflix e incluso EarthLink.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>III. El impacto del porno en la familia\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Una breve estad&iacute;stica: casi el 50% de todos los problemas de relaci&oacute;n familiar est&aacute;n relacionados con el uso de Internet. Las relaciones de la vida real se intercambian por las largas horas de fantas&iacute;a derivadas de la computadora, dejando a los c&oacute;nyuges e hijos sinti&eacute;ndose descuidados y sin importancia.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>El costo de la pornograf&iacute;a en los ni&ntilde;os: es f&aacute;cil para los ni&ntilde;os explorar Internet durante largos per&iacute;odos de tiempo y sin que nadie lo sepa. El 42% de los usuarios de Internet entre las edades de 10 y 17 a&ntilde;os informaron haber visto pornograf&iacute;a en l&iacute;nea en los &uacute;ltimos 12 meses. Nuestra visi&oacute;n de la vida se desarrolla a partir de los modelos a los que estamos expuestos, particularmente a edades tempranas.

Tal persona intentar&aacute; ocultar sus h&aacute;bitos de ver pornograf&iacute;a. Pueden minimizar y racionalizar su comportamiento.

Instale software en su computadora que bloquee los sitios web pornogr&aacute;ficos. La asesor&iacute;a psicol&oacute;gica puede ayudar a las personas y parejas que desean superar la adicci&oacute;n y el da&ntilde;o causado. Existen numerosos grupos de apoyo orientados a ayudar a las personas adictas. El Internet puede ser m&aacute;s una bendici&oacute;n que una maldici&oacute;n. . . as&iacute; que no condenemos a internet. Sin embargo, si todas las otras intervenciones fallan, entonces el usuario descontrolado de ciber porno puede necesitar deshacerse de su computadora hasta que se solucione la adicci&oacute;n y puedan controlar su comportamiento.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>IX. Donde comienza el problema de la pornograf&iacute;a (y termina)\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>El problema yace debajo: las personas siempre han buscado algo que sienten que falta porque Dios nos dise&ntilde;&oacute; con esa conciencia. Entonces, el hombre llena su vida con sus propias creaciones: pasatiempos, carrera, tecnolog&iacute;a, posesiones e incluso buenas obras, pero ninguna de ellas trae paz por mucho tiempo. Separados de Dios, siempre seremos conscientes de nuestro vac&iacute;o. As&iacute;, idearemos formas de llenarlo sin &eacute;xito.\u003C\u002Fp> \u003Cp>\u003Cbr \u002F>Soluci&oacute;n final: Dios quiere que nuestra conciencia de nuestra necesidad nos atraiga de regreso a &Eacute;l. Finalmente, solo Dios tiene la pieza que falta para nuestras almas y sus profundas satisfacciones. No necesitamos culparnos a nosotros mismos por el hambre, necesitamos hambre por el que realmente satisface. El porno cibern&eacute;tico y el sexo cibern&eacute;tico nos dejan a&uacute;n m&aacute;s vac&iacute;os porque Dios nos hizo como seres sexuales para que podamos conectarnos con nuestra pareja de toda la vida en la intimidad sexual destinada solo al matrimonio. . . dado por Dios para unir a un esposo y una esposa como uno solo. Satisfacer los deseos sexuales fuera de esta uni&oacute;n intencionada por Dios solo nos hace recordar lo solos que realmente estamos. El sexo cibern&eacute;tico y el porno cibern&eacute;tico mejoran esa soledad.

Une étude a révélé que 40 millions d'adultes aux États-Unis — soit près d'un cinquième de tous les Américains ayant accès au Web — consultent régulièrement de la pornographie en ligne. Tragiquement, des millions d'enfants mineurs et influençables font partie de ces 40 millions. Avant l'arrivée d'Internet, l'âge moyen des personnes exposées à la pornographie était de 12 ans.

Oui. C'est pourquoi c'est une grande affaire. Toute tentative de légiférer sur la question suscite des cris de la part des distributeurs de pornographie concernant la liberté de la presse et la liberté d'expression. Mais en réalité, « tout est une question de Benjamins », comme disent les jeunes. L'argent, et non les libertés civiles, est le moteur de cette industrie. Chaque année, l'industrie pornographique américaine rapporte 52,8 milliards de dollars.

L’addiction dans le cerveau&nbsp;: Le&nbsp;cerveau possède une substance chimique du plaisir&nbsp;appelée dopamine.&nbsp;La visualisation d’images sexuelles provoque une libération importante de dopamine&nbsp;et crée un plaisir intense. Avec une visualisation continue, le cerveau s’habitue à cette libération et réclame de plus en plus de dopamine.&nbsp;L’addiction dans l’âme&nbsp;: L’addiction survient parce que nous aspirons tous à quelque chose qui nous comble, et les&nbsp;images sexuelles… nous procurent un sentiment de&nbsp;validation et d’accomplissement.&nbsp;Nous pouvons assouvir nos passions les plus primaires dans l’anonymat du cyberespace.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>VII.

Cependant, si toutes les autres interventions échouent, l’utilisateur de cyber-pornographie hors de contrôle peut avoir besoin de se débarrasser de son ordinateur&nbsp;jusqu’à ce que l’addiction soit résolue et qu’il puisse maîtriser son comportement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>IX.

One research study revealed that 40 million adults in the United States - that’s nearly 1\u002F5 of all Americans with web access - are consistently viewing web-based pornography. Tragically millions of under-aged and impressionable children are among that 40 million.&nbsp;Before the internet came on the scene the average age of those exposed to pornography as 12 years old.&nbsp;Some researchers say the average age is now 8 years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>II. Child Access to Pornography\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cb>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cp>The internet brings graphic sexual images . . . right into homes, and the pornographers don’t care that kids have access [to porn]?&nbsp;Yes. That’s why this is big business. Any attempts to legislate the matter yields screens from porn purveyors about freedom of the press and freedom of speech.&nbsp;But really, “it’s all about the Benjamins,” as the kids say. Money, not civil liberties, is driving this industry.&nbsp;Each year, the US porn industry takes in 52.8 billion dollars. That makes the porn industry’s income more than&nbsp;the combined revenues of Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, Netflix, and even EarthLink.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>III.

Real life relationships are exchanged for the long hours of fantasy derived from the computer, leaving spouses and children feeling neglected and unimportant.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Pornography’s Toll on Children: It's&nbsp;easy for children to explore the internet for extended lengths of time and without anyone knowing. 42% of internet users between the ages of 10 and 17&nbsp;report seeing online pornography in the past 12 months.&nbsp;Our view of life is developed from the models to which we are exposed, particularly at early ages. We internalize what we see and hear and based upon the conclusions we draw, our identity is shaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So consider how viewing those images effects the view that boys and girls have&nbsp;of each other, of themselves, and of the world in general?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>How is a person’s value defined? What will children look for&nbsp;in an inmate relationship with another person?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The dynamics of how individuals function and relate to each other is&nbsp;permanently distorted by the early perception of individuals as sexual objects, rather than whole people.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dangers to Brief Porn Exposure:&nbsp;These images are not only powerful they are highly addictive.&nbsp;The addiction primarily effects men but women are also addicted to both cyber-porn&nbsp;and and cyber-sex.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>How to Know if You’re Addicted to Porn:&nbsp;There are a number of inventories available online. Taking one of those is using the internet in a healthy way. In general, addiction means you keep doing something in spite of negative consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Some indicators of addiction include:&nbsp;Spending increasing amounts of time viewing porn sites on the internet,&nbsp;sexual discussions online, and the amount of time spent that way interferes&nbsp;with responsibilities and relationships.&nbsp;Such a person will attempt to hide their porn-viewing habits.&nbsp;They may minimize and and rationalize their behavior.&nbsp;Others in their lives may have expressed concern about their behavior.&nbsp;You might even feel bad or guilty about your behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Don’t believe you can stop on your own. Many addicts have tried to stop or curtail their behavior but they failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Nature of Porn Addiction:&nbsp;Addiction occurs in both the brain and the soul. Addiction in the Brain: The&nbsp;brain has a pleasure chemical&nbsp;called dopamine.&nbsp;Viewing sexual images causes a release of large amounts of dopamine&nbsp;and this creates intense pleasure. With continued viewing, the brain becomes accustomed to this release and demands more and more dopamine.&nbsp;Addiction in the Soul:&nbsp;Addiction occurs because we all long for something to fulfill us, and the&nbsp;sexual images . . . gives us a sense of&nbsp;validation and fulfillment.&nbsp;We are able to pursue our most base passions in the anonymity of cyber-space.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>VII.

However, if all other interventions fail, then the out of control cyber-porn user may need to get rid of their computer&nbsp;until the addiction is remedied and they can control their behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>IX.

Ahora supón que llegas a un país donde podrías llenar un teatro simplemente llevando un plato cubierto al escenario y luego levantando lentamente la tapa para que todos vean, justo antes de que se apaguen las luces, que contiene una chuleta de cordero o un trozo de tocino, ¿no pensarías que en ese país algo había ido mal con el apetito por la comida? ¿Y no pensaría cualquiera que hubiera crecido en un mundo diferente que había algo igualmente extraño en el estado del instinto sexual entre nosotros?” - C.S. Lewis, Mero cristianismo\u003C\u002Fi>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ci>\u003C\u002Fi>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>I. Algunas estadísticas\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cb>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cp>Hoy en día, más de 200 millones de estadounidenses tienen acceso a internet. Un estudio reveló que 40 millones de adultos en Estados Unidos —es decir, casi 1\u002F5 de todos los estadounidenses con acceso web— ven consistentemente pornografía en internet. Trágicamente, millones de niños menores de edad e impresionables se encuentran entre esos 40 millones. Antes de que internet apareciera en escena, la edad promedio de quienes se exponían a la pornografía era de 12 años. Algunos investigadores dicen que ahora la edad promedio es de 8 años.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>II. Acceso infantil a la pornografía\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cb>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cp>Internet trae imágenes sexuales gráficas... directamente a los hogares, ¿y a los pornógrafos no les importa que los niños tengan acceso [a la pornografía]? Sí. Es por eso que esto es un gran negocio. Cualquier intento de legislar el asunto genera gritos de los distribuidores de pornografía sobre la libertad de prensa y la libertad de expresión. Pero en realidad, “todo se trata de los Benjamins”, como dicen los jóvenes. El dinero, no las libertades civiles, es lo que impulsa esta industria. Cada año, la industria pornográfica de EE.UU. genera 52.8 mil millones de dólares. Eso hace que los ingresos de la industria pornográfica superen los ingresos combinados de Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, Netflix e incluso EarthLink.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>III. El impacto de la pornografía en la familia\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cb>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cp>Una estadística breve: Casi el 50% de todos los problemas de relaciones familiares están relacionados con el uso de internet. Las relaciones de la vida real se intercambian por las largas horas de fantasía derivadas de la computadora, dejando a cónyuges e hijos sintiéndose descuidados e insignificantes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El costo de la pornografía para los niños: Es fácil para los niños explorar internet durante largos períodos de tiempo y sin que nadie lo sepa. El 42% de los usuarios de internet entre las edades de 10 y 17 años reportan haber visto pornografía en línea en los últimos 12 meses. Nuestra visión de la vida se desarrolla a partir de los modelos a los que estamos expuestos, particularmente en edades tempranas. Internalizamos lo que vemos y oímos y, basándonos en las conclusiones que sacamos, se forma nuestra identidad.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Entonces, considera cómo ver esas imágenes afecta la visión que los niños y niñas tienen de los demás, de sí mismos y del mundo en general.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>¿Cómo se define el valor de una persona? ¿Qué buscarán los niños en una relación íntima con otra persona?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La dinámica de cómo los individuos funcionan y se relacionan entre sí queda permanentemente distorsionada por la percepción temprana de los individuos como objetos sexuales, en lugar de personas completas.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Peligros de la exposición breve a la pornografía: Estas imágenes no solo son poderosas, sino que son altamente adictivas. La adicción afecta principalmente a los hombres, pero las mujeres también se vuelven adictas tanto al ciber-porno como al ciber-sexo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cómo saber si estás adicto a la pornografía: Hay varios inventarios disponibles en línea. Tomar uno de ellos es usar internet de manera saludable. En general, la adicción significa que sigues haciendo algo a pesar de las consecuencias negativas.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Algunos indicadores de adicción incluyen: Pasar cantidades cada vez mayores de tiempo viendo sitios pornográficos en internet, discusiones sexuales en línea, y la cantidad de tiempo dedicado de esa manera interfiere con las responsabilidades y relaciones. Una persona así intentará ocultar sus hábitos de ver pornografía. Puede minimizar y racionalizar su comportamiento. Otros en su vida pueden haber expresado preocupación por su comportamiento. Incluso podrías sentirte mal o culpable por tu comportamiento.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No creas que puedes dejarlo por tu cuenta. Muchos adictos han intentado detener o reducir su comportamiento, pero han fracasado.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La naturaleza de la adicción a la pornografía: La adicción ocurre tanto en el cerebro como en el alma. Adicción en el cerebro: El cerebro tiene un químico del placer llamado dopamina. Ver imágenes sexuales provoca la liberación de grandes cantidades de dopamina y esto crea un placer intenso. Con la visualización continua, el cerebro se acostumbra a esta liberación y exige cada vez más dopamina. Adicción en el alma: La adicción ocurre porque todos anhelamos algo que nos llene, y las imágenes sexuales... nos dan una sensación de validación y plenitud. Podemos perseguir nuestras pasiones más básicas en el anonimato del ciberespacio.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>VII. Posibles consecuencias de estar adicto a la pornografía\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cp>La adicción también es una forma de infidelidad mental y emocional que destroza los matrimonios. El impacto en el cónyuge fiel es tan devastador como si la persona hubiera tenido una aventura física.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>VIII. Cómo prevenir o detener la adicción a la pornografía\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Intervenir lo antes posible. Instalar software en tu computadora que bloquee sitios web pornográficos. La consejería puede ayudar a individuos y parejas que quieran trabajar a través de la adicción y el daño causado. Hay numerosos grupos de apoyo orientados a ayudar a las personas adictas. Internet puede ser más una bendición que una maldición... así que no condenemos internet. Sin embargo, si todas las demás intervenciones fallan, entonces el usuario de ciber-porno fuera de control puede necesitar deshacerse de su computadora hasta que la adicción se remedie y pueda controlar su comportamiento.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>IX. Dónde comienza (y termina) el problema de la pornografía\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>El Problema Está Debajo:&nbsp;Las personas siempre han buscado algo que sienten que les falta porque&nbsp;Dios nos diseñó&nbsp;con esa conciencia.&nbsp;Así que el hombre llena su vida con sus propias creaciones--pasatiempos, carrera, tecnología,&nbsp;posesiones, e incluso buenas obras, pero ninguna de ellas trae paz por mucho tiempo.&nbsp;Aparte de Dios, siempre seremos conscientes de nuestro vacío.&nbsp;Por lo tanto, idearemos formas de llenarlo sin éxito.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Solución Definitiva:&nbsp;Dios quiere que nuestra conciencia de nuestra necesidad nos acerque a Él.&nbsp;En última instancia, solo Dios tiene la pieza que falta en nuestras almas y sus profundas&nbsp;satisfacciones.&nbsp;No necesitamos culparnos por tener hambre, necesitamos tener hambre del&nbsp;único que verdaderamente satisface.&nbsp;El ciber-porno y el ciber-sexo nos dejan aún más vacíos porque Dios nos hizo&nbsp;como seres sexuales para que podamos conectarnos&nbsp;con nuestra pareja de por vida en la intimidad sexual destinada solo al matrimonio . . . dada por Dios para unir a un esposo y una esposa como uno solo.&nbsp;Cumplir los deseos sexuales fuera de esta unión planeada por Dios solo nos recuerda lo solos&nbsp;que realmente estamos.&nbsp;El ciber-sexo y el ciber-porno aumenta esa soledad.&nbsp;Con la ayuda del Espíritu Santo, los cristianos pueden conquistar [pornografía].\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>Escrituras Clave:\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cb>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cp>2 Corintios 3:17\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>Lectura Adicional Recomendada:\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cb>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cp>La Sexualidad Humana Auténtica: Un Enfoque Cristiano Integrado, por&nbsp;Judith K.

Et toute personne ayant grandi dans un monde différent ne penserait-elle pas qu'il y a quelque chose d'aussi étrange dans l'état de l'instinct sexuel chez nous ? » - C.S.

Quelques statistiques\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cb>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cp>Aujourd'hui, plus de 200 millions d'Américains ont accès à Internet. Une étude a révélé que 40 millions d'adultes aux États-Unis – soit près d'un cinquième de tous les Américains ayant un accès web – consultent régulièrement de la pornographie en ligne. Tragiquement, des millions d'enfants mineurs et influençables font partie de ces 40 millions. Avant l'arrivée d'Internet, l'âge moyen des personnes exposées à la pornographie était de 12 ans. Certains chercheurs disent que l'âge moyen est maintenant de 8 ans.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>II. L'accès des enfants à la pornographie\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cb>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cp>Internet apporte des images sexuelles explicites… directement dans les foyers, et les pornographes ne se soucient pas que les enfants y aient accès [à la pornographie] ? Oui. C'est pourquoi c'est une grande affaire. Toute tentative de légiférer sur la question suscite des cris des distributeurs de pornographie au sujet de la liberté de la presse et de la liberté d'expression. Mais en réalité, « tout est une question de Benjamins », comme disent les jeunes. L'argent, et non les libertés civiles, est le moteur de cette industrie. Chaque année, l'industrie pornographique américaine rapporte 52,8 milliards de dollars. Cela rend les revenus de l'industrie pornographique supérieurs aux recettes combinées de Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, Netflix, et même EarthLink.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>III. L'impact de la pornographie sur la famille\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cb>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cp>Une statistique brève : Près de 50 % de tous les problèmes relationnels familiaux sont liés à l'utilisation d'Internet. Les relations réelles sont échangées contre les longues heures de fantasme tirées de l'ordinateur, laissant les conjoints et les enfants se sentir négligés et insignifiants.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Le tribut de la pornographie sur les enfants : Il est facile pour les enfants d'explorer Internet pendant de longues périodes sans que personne ne le sache. 42 % des utilisateurs d'Internet âgés de 10 à 17 ans déclarent avoir vu de la pornographie en ligne au cours des 12 derniers mois. Notre vision de la vie se développe à partir des modèles auxquels nous sommes exposés, particulièrement à un jeune âge. Nous internalisons ce que nous voyons et entendons et, sur la base des conclusions que nous tirons, notre identité se forme.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Alors, considérez comment le fait de regarder ces images affecte la vision que les garçons et les filles ont les uns des autres, d'eux-mêmes et du monde en général ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Comment la valeur d'une personne est-elle définie ? Que chercheront les enfants dans une relation intime avec une autre personne ?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La dynamique du fonctionnement et des relations entre les individus est définitivement déformée par la perception précoce des individus comme des objets sexuels, plutôt que comme des personnes entières.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dangers d'une brève exposition à la pornographie : Ces images ne sont pas seulement puissantes, elles sont hautement addictives. L'addiction touche principalement les hommes, mais les femmes sont également dépendantes à la fois de la cyber-pornographie et du cyber-sexe.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Comment savoir si vous êtes dépendant à la pornographie : Il existe un certain nombre d'inventaires disponibles en ligne. En utiliser un est une façon saine d'utiliser Internet. En général, l'addiction signifie que vous continuez à faire quelque chose malgré des conséquences négatives.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Certains indicateurs d'addiction incluent : Passer des quantités croissantes de temps à consulter des sites pornographiques sur Internet, des discussions sexuelles en ligne, et le temps passé de cette façon interfère avec les responsabilités et les relations. Une telle personne tentera de cacher ses habitudes de visionnage de pornographie. Elle peut minimiser et rationaliser son comportement. D'autres personnes dans sa vie peuvent avoir exprimé des préoccupations concernant son comportement. Vous pourriez même vous sentir mal ou coupable à propos de votre comportement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ne croyez pas que vous pouvez arrêter par vous-même. De nombreux addicts ont essayé d'arrêter ou de réduire leur comportement mais ils ont échoué.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>La nature de l'addiction à la pornographie : L'addiction se produit à la fois dans le cerveau et dans l'âme. L'addiction dans le cerveau : Le cerveau a une substance chimique du plaisir appelée dopamine. Le visionnage d'images sexuelles provoque une libération de grandes quantités de dopamine et cela crée un plaisir intense. Avec un visionnage continu, le cerveau s'habitue à cette libération et demande de plus en plus de dopamine. L'addiction dans l'âme : L'addiction se produit parce que nous aspirons tous à quelque chose qui nous comble, et les images sexuelles… nous donnent un sentiment de validation et d'accomplissement. Nous sommes capables de poursuivre nos passions les plus basses dans l'anonymat du cyberespace.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv>\u003Cb>VII. Conséquences potentielles de l'addiction à la pornographie\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cp>L'addiction est également une forme d'infidélité mentale et émotionnelle qui déchire les mariages. L'impact sur le conjoint fidèle est aussi dévastateur que si la personne avait eu une liaison physique.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>VIII. Comment prévenir ou arrêter l'addiction à la pornographie\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Intervenir le plus tôt possible. Installer un logiciel sur votre ordinateur qui bloque les sites web pornographiques. Le counseling peut aider les individus et les couples qui veulent surmonter l'addiction et les dommages causés. Il existe de nombreux groupes de soutien destinés à aider les personnes dépendantes. Internet peut être plus une bénédiction qu'une malédiction… alors ne condamnons pas Internet. Cependant, si toutes les autres interventions échouent, alors l'utilisateur de cyber-pornographie hors de contrôle peut avoir besoin de se débarrasser de son ordinateur jusqu'à ce que l'addiction soit traitée et qu'il puisse contrôler son comportement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cb>IX.

Thank you for reading this message of love and hope. We know you desire to love a personal God and it can be hard to decide what God to invest your life with. We also know that you can struggle with working off your Karma. Don’t worry, you are not the only one. You have likely talked to your friends and they expressed the same feelings. Our hope for you is to make the most out of your time here on earth in this life so you can gain the completion that you need.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">As you know, the main goal to reach Brahman seems so hard. The rituals, yoga, not desiring anything and loving a personal god is hard enough but there is still a lot of clarity we need from the Vedas. Have you ever thought that picking the right personal God is all that you need? We know Hindu scholars revere Jesus as a God. Out of all the other personal God’s, there is more information written about Jesus.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">We understand that there are many different opinions about Jesus. There are claims about who Jesus was in Christianity, Islam, Judiasm and in other faiths. Instead of focusing on what was said centuries after Jesus was on earth, we want to spare you the time by going back to the ancient records that were written before, during and directly after Jesus was here.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">We get the most information from Jesus from a book called the Bible. Did you know that you could live your entire life and never actually know how we got the Bible? Do you mind if we tell you really fast?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">The Bible’s 40 authors were eyewitnesses to incredible events and teachings and wrote them down in three different languages, Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, while they were on three different continents, Asia Africa and Europe, over a period of 1600 years. Remarkably, despite the widespread difference in languages, geography, and time; the writings are telling the same exact, highly detailed, story. In fact these writings give thousands, upon thousands, of opportunities to be wrong, as they list specific ancient cities, kings, countries, major events, people, and all the way down to the money they used. Yet, over and over again the Bible matches with other ancient historical writings unrelated to the Bible itself, like the Greek, Egyptian, Persian, Babalonian, Roman Empire, and Kingly records. Despite the Bible being the most widely read and criticized book in the world, nothing of importance can be found wrong with it’s understandable writings.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Also, no other “holy” book has prophecies that come true. A prophecy is something that is predicted to come true in the future before it happens. The Bible contains prophecies of major events in history, which were recorded hundreds and sometimes thousands of years before they happened. We see correct predictions of the rise and fall of the Greek and Roman Empires, and over 300 prophecies that specifically talk about Jesus and that He fulfilled.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">No other holy book or writings have the manuscript evidence that the Bible does. For example, the earliest fragments of manuscripts of the Quran were found 300 years after Muhammad, and the writings about what Buddha taught appeared 400 years after Buddha. With the Bible, we have fragments of manuscripts that date back to the same century Jesus lived, and complete manuscripts by the thousands soon after. Even the early Bible believers, who are said to have known the authors, quoted the Bible so much in their writings that you can assemble the entire second half of the Bible (New Testament) from their preserved writings from the 1st and 2nd Centuries.&nbsp; We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Bible can be trusted with what it says.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">If you compare the Bible to any other “Holy” book, nothing can touch this sharpness and precision.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">So what does the Bible say about your Karma? Well it does talk about the bad things you have done and how it does create a huge problem. It also talks about ways to get the consequences taken away, but before we tell you we want to make sure you have a better understanding of where we are coming from.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">First, if you can’t tell already, what you are about to learn from the Bible is different from what you have been taught. We do not want to offend you with a different teaching, but we want you to remember this message is directly out of the Bible, and you just learned why we should pay attention to what it says. Also, we need you to know that we love you, we are sorry that this teaching is different from what you have been taught but there is good news we have to share.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">The Bible teaches that Yoga, rituals, eating the right food and not desiring anything are not going to work off your Karma. No matter how hard you try to work there are always more bad things to work off. Even the desire to work off your Karma can give you more Karma. Isn’t it natural to desire a goal? Don’t you want to be forgiven? Why is it wrong to desire that? Is it wrong to desire to be loved unconditionally? Those are seeds of desire that God put in you to help you find Him.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">If we didn’t have the Bible it would be easier to conclude that Hinduism is the correct path. But the Bible says that there is only ONE God, and He is a God who loves you. He is your Father in Heaven. You will never be a God or be part of a God, but you CAN become a child of God. He loves you so much, that He made a way for you to have all the bad things you have ever done forgiven.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Yes, the most trustworthy book of all time, the Bible, teaches the bad things you’ve done, like telling a single lie, separate you from God because He is perfect. This means you can’t go to Heaven where God is and live forever with Him. Or if you don’t choose to have God forgive you, the bad things you have done separate you from God and you go to Hell because He is perfect and you will not be. But God loves you so much that He wants to be in a personal relationship with YOU, so you CAN go to Heaven.&nbsp; So do you know what God did for you because He loves you so much? God came as Jesus to live a perfect life for you, so He could take all of your punishment, He then died in your place, and He rose again from the dead, so you can have forgiveness. Ok, don't miss this! The Bible says if you BELIEVE God did this for you then you will receive forgiveness and go to Heaven. Yep, that's it. Here is one of many verses in the Bible that say that. Romans 4:5, \"But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners.\"\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">That’s it. It seems so easy doesn’t it? But God is your Heavenly Father, He is the one that created you from your head to your toes. He loves you so much He knows how many hairs are on your head. You have so much value and worth to God that if you were the only person alive, He would come and die just for you. He loves you the way a good Father loves his son or daughter. Unconditionally. He also gives gifts, like a good father would. He actually gave you the best gift you could ever have, forgiveness from all the bad things you have ever done, and going to Heaven, just by believing in Him.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">&nbsp;A verse in the Bible says, 2 Corinthians 6:2,&nbsp; “I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.” So will you believe that God did this for you right now?\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">So we want to ask you, will you believe, right now, that God did this for you?\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">That is wonderful.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Will you say this prayer out loud?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">“Dear God,\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">I know that I have done many bad things.

Gracias por leer este mensaje de amor y esperanza. Sabemos que deseas amar a un Dios personal y que puede ser difícil decidir en qué Dios invertir tu vida. También sabemos que puedes tener dificultades para trabajar tu Karma. No te preocupes, no eres el único. Es probable que hayas hablado con tus amigos y ellos hayan expresado los mismos sentimientos. Nuestra esperanza para ti es que aproveches al máximo tu tiempo aquí en la tierra en esta vida para que puedas obtener la plenitud que necesitas.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Como sabes, el objetivo principal de alcanzar el Brahman parece tan difícil. Los rituales, el yoga, no desear nada y amar a un dios personal ya es bastante difícil, pero todavía necesitamos mucha claridad de los Vedas. ¿Alguna vez has pensado que elegir al Dios personal correcto es todo lo que necesitas? Sabemos que los eruditos hindúes reverencian a Jesús como un Dios. De todos los demás dioses personales, hay más información escrita sobre Jesús.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Entendemos que hay muchas opiniones diferentes sobre Jesús. Hay afirmaciones sobre quién fue Jesús en el cristianismo, el islam, el judaísmo y otras religiones. En lugar de centrarnos en lo que se dijo siglos después de que Jesús estuvo en la tierra, queremos ahorrarte tiempo yendo a los registros antiguos que se escribieron antes, durante y directamente después de que Jesús estuvo aquí.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Obtenemos la mayor información sobre Jesús de un libro llamado la Biblia. ¿Sabías que podrías vivir toda tu vida y nunca saber realmente cómo obtuvimos la Biblia? ¿Te importa si te lo contamos muy rápido?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Los 40 autores de la Biblia fueron testigos presenciales de eventos y enseñanzas increíbles y los escribieron en tres idiomas diferentes, hebreo, arameo y griego, mientras estaban en tres continentes diferentes, Asia, África y Europa, durante un período de 1600 años. Sorprendentemente, a pesar de la gran diferencia en idiomas, geografía y tiempo, los escritos cuentan la misma historia exacta y muy detallada. De hecho, estos escritos dan miles y miles de oportunidades de equivocarse, ya que enumeran ciudades antiguas específicas, reyes, países, eventos importantes, personas y hasta el dinero que usaban. Sin embargo, una y otra vez la Biblia coincide con otros escritos históricos antiguos no relacionados con la Biblia misma, como los registros griegos, egipcios, persas, babilónicos, del Imperio Romano y de los reyes. A pesar de que la Biblia es el libro más leído y criticado del mundo, no se puede encontrar nada importante mal en sus escritos comprensibles.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Además, ningún otro libro “sagrado” tiene profecías que se cumplan. Una profecía es algo que se predice que sucederá en el futuro antes de que ocurra. La Biblia contiene profecías de eventos importantes en la historia, que fueron registradas cientos y a veces miles de años antes de que sucedieran. Vemos predicciones correctas del ascenso y caída de los Imperios Griego y Romano, y más de 300 profecías que hablan específicamente de Jesús y que Él cumplió.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Ningún otro libro o escrito sagrado tiene la evidencia manuscrita que tiene la Biblia. Por ejemplo, los fragmentos más antiguos de manuscritos del Corán se encontraron 300 años después de Mahoma, y los escritos sobre lo que enseñó Buda aparecieron 400 años después de Buda. Con la Biblia, tenemos fragmentos de manuscritos que datan del mismo siglo en que vivió Jesús, y manuscritos completos por miles poco después. Incluso los primeros creyentes de la Biblia, que se dice que conocían a los autores, citaron tanto la Biblia en sus escritos que puedes ensamblar toda la segunda mitad de la Biblia (Nuevo Testamento) a partir de sus escritos preservados de los siglos I y II.&nbsp; Sabemos sin lugar a dudas que la Biblia se puede confiar en lo que dice.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Si comparas la Biblia con cualquier otro libro “sagrado”, nada puede igualar esta agudeza y precisión.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Entonces, ¿qué dice la Biblia sobre tu Karma? Bueno, sí habla de las cosas malas que has hecho y de cómo crean un gran problema. También habla de maneras de eliminar las consecuencias, pero antes de decírtelas queremos asegurarnos de que entiendas mejor de dónde venimos.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Primero, si ya te has dado cuenta, lo que estás a punto de aprender de la Biblia es diferente de lo que te han enseñado. No queremos ofenderte con una enseñanza diferente, pero queremos que recuerdes que este mensaje sale directamente de la Biblia, y acabas de aprender por qué debemos prestar atención a lo que dice. Además, necesitamos que sepas que te amamos, sentimos que esta enseñanza sea diferente de lo que te han enseñado, pero tenemos buenas noticias que compartir.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">La Biblia enseña que el Yoga, los rituales, comer la comida correcta y no desear nada no van a eliminar tu Karma. No importa cuánto intentes trabajar en ello, siempre hay más cosas malas que eliminar. Incluso el deseo de eliminar tu Karma puede generarte más Karma. ¿No es natural desear una meta? ¿No quieres ser perdonado? ¿Por qué es malo desear eso? ¿Es malo desear ser amado incondicionalmente? Esas son semillas de deseo que Dios puso en ti para ayudarte a encontrarlo.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Si no tuviéramos la Biblia sería más fácil concluir que el hinduismo es el camino correcto. Pero la Biblia dice que hay un solo Dios, y Él es un Dios que te ama. Él es tu Padre en el Cielo. Nunca serás un Dios ni parte de un Dios, pero PUEDES convertirte en hijo de Dios. Te ama tanto que hizo un camino para que todas las cosas malas que hayas hecho sean perdonadas.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Sí, el libro más confiable de todos los tiempos, la Biblia, enseña que las cosas malas que has hecho, como decir una sola mentira, te separan de Dios porque Él es perfecto. Esto significa que no puedes ir al Cielo donde está Dios y vivir para siempre con Él. O si no eliges que Dios te perdone, las cosas malas que has hecho te separan de Dios y vas al Infierno porque Él es perfecto y tú no lo serás. Pero Dios te ama tanto que quiere tener una relación personal CONTIGO, así que PUEDES ir al Cielo.&nbsp; Entonces, ¿sabes lo que Dios hizo por ti porque te ama tanto? Dios vino como Jesús para vivir una vida perfecta por ti, para poder tomar todo tu castigo, luego murió en tu lugar, y resucitó de entre los muertos, para que puedas tener perdón. ¡Ok, no te pierdas esto! La Biblia dice que si CREES que Dios hizo esto por ti, entonces recibirás el perdón e irás al Cielo. Sí, eso es todo. Aquí hay uno de los muchos versículos en la Biblia que dicen eso. Romanos 4:5, \"Pero a la persona que no trabaja, sino que cree en Dios que justifica al impío, su fe le es contada por justicia.\"\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Eso es todo. Parece tan fácil, ¿verdad? Pero Dios es tu Padre Celestial, Él es quien te creó de la cabeza a los pies. Te ama tanto que sabe cuántos cabellos tienes en la cabeza. Tienes tanto valor y valía para Dios que si fueras la única persona viva, Él vendría y moriría solo por ti. Te ama de la manera en que un buen Padre ama a su hijo o hija. Incondicionalmente. También da regalos, como lo haría un buen padre. En realidad te dio el mejor regalo que podrías tener, el perdón de todas las cosas malas que hayas hecho, e ir al Cielo, solo creyendo en Él.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">&nbsp;Un versículo en la Biblia dice, 2 Corintios 6:2,&nbsp; “He aquí ahora el tiempo favorable; he aquí ahora el día de salvación.” Entonces, ¿creerás que Dios hizo esto por ti ahora mismo?\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Así que queremos preguntarte, ¿creerás, ahora mismo, que Dios hizo esto por ti?\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Eso es maravilloso.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">¿Dirás esta oración en voz alta?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">“Querido Dios,\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Sé que he hecho muchas cosas malas.

Merci d’avoir lu ce message d’amour et d’espérance. Nous savons que vous désirez aimer un Dieu personnel et qu’il peut être difficile de choisir à quel Dieu confier votre vie. Nous savons aussi que vous pouvez avoir du mal à travailler votre karma. Ne vous inquiétez pas, vous n’êtes pas le seul. Vous en avez probablement parlé à vos amis et ils ont exprimé les mêmes sentiments. Notre souhait pour vous est de tirer le meilleur parti de votre temps sur cette terre, dans cette vie, afin d’obtenir l’accomplissement dont vous avez besoin.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cbr>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Comme vous le savez, l’objectif principal pour atteindre Brahman semble si difficile. Les rituels, le yoga, le fait de ne rien désirer et d’aimer un dieu personnel sont déjà assez compliqués, mais il nous manque encore beaucoup de clarté dans les Védas. Avez-vous déjà pensé que choisir le bon dieu personnel était tout ce dont vous aviez besoin ? Nous savons que les érudits hindous vénèrent Jésus comme un Dieu. Parmi tous les autres dieux personnels, c’est à propos de Jésus que le plus d’informations ont été écrites.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Nous comprenons qu’il existe de nombreuses opinions différentes sur Jésus. Il y a des affirmations sur qui était Jésus dans le christianisme, l’islam, le judaïsme et d’autres religions. Au lieu de nous concentrer sur ce qui a été dit des siècles après que Jésus ait été sur terre, nous voulons vous épargner du temps en revenant aux documents anciens écrits avant, pendant et juste après la venue de Jésus.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Nous obtenons la plupart des informations sur Jésus dans un livre appelé la Bible. Saviez-vous que vous pourriez vivre toute votre vie sans jamais savoir réellement comment nous avons obtenu la Bible ? Cela vous dérange-t-il si nous vous le disons très rapidement ?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Les 40 auteurs de la Bible étaient des témoins oculaires d’événements et d’enseignements incroyables et les ont consignés par écrit en trois langues différentes, l’hébreu, l’araméen et le grec, alors qu’ils se trouvaient sur trois continents différents, l’Asie, l’Afrique et l’Europe, sur une période de 1600 ans. Remarquablement, malgré les différences importantes de langues, de géographie et d’époque, ces écrits racontent exactement la même histoire, très détaillée. En fait, ces écrits offrent des milliers et des milliers d’occasions de se tromper, car ils mentionnent des villes antiques précises, des rois, des pays, des événements majeurs, des personnes, et même jusqu’à la monnaie utilisée. Pourtant, encore et encore, la Bible correspond à d’autres écrits historiques anciens non liés à la Bible elle-même, comme les archives grecques, égyptiennes, perses, babyloniennes, de l’Empire romain et royales. Bien que la Bible soit le livre le plus lu et le plus critiqué au monde, rien d’important ne peut être trouvé de faux dans ses écrits compréhensibles.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">De plus, aucun autre livre « sacré » ne contient de prophéties qui se réalisent. Une prophétie est quelque chose qui est prédit pour se réaliser dans le futur avant que cela n’arrive. La Bible contient des prophéties d’événements majeurs de l’histoire, qui ont été enregistrées des centaines et parfois des milliers d’années avant qu’ils ne se produisent. Nous voyons des prédictions correctes de la montée et de la chute des empires grec et romain, et plus de 300 prophéties qui parlent spécifiquement de Jésus et qu’Il a accomplies.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Aucun autre livre ou écriture sacrée ne possède la preuve manuscrite que la Bible a. Par exemple, les plus anciens fragments de manuscrits du Coran ont été trouvés 300 ans après Mahomet, et les écrits sur ce que Bouddha a enseigné sont apparus 400 ans après Bouddha. Avec la Bible, nous avons des fragments de manuscrits qui remontent au même siècle où Jésus a vécu, et des milliers de manuscrits complets peu après. Même les premiers croyants de la Bible, qui auraient connu les auteurs, citaient tellement la Bible dans leurs écrits que vous pouvez reconstituer toute la seconde moitié de la Bible (le Nouveau Testament) à partir de leurs écrits préservés des 1er et 2e siècles.&nbsp; Nous savons sans l’ombre d’un doute que la Bible peut être considérée comme fiable dans ce qu’elle dit.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Si vous comparez la Bible à n’importe quel autre livre « sacré », rien ne peut égaler cette précision et cette netteté.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Alors, que dit la Bible sur votre Karma ? Eh bien, elle parle des mauvaises choses que vous avez faites et de la façon dont elles créent un énorme problème. Elle parle aussi des moyens d’effacer les conséquences, mais avant de vous les révéler, nous voulons nous assurer que vous comprenez mieux d’où nous venons.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Tout d’abord, si vous ne l’avez pas encore remarqué, ce que vous allez apprendre de la Bible est différent de ce qu’on vous a enseigné. Nous ne voulons pas vous offenser avec un enseignement différent, mais nous voulons que vous vous souveniez que ce message vient directement de la Bible, et vous venez d’apprendre pourquoi nous devons prêter attention à ce qu’elle dit. De plus, nous devons vous faire savoir que nous vous aimons, nous sommes désolés que cet enseignement soit différent de ce que vous avez appris, mais nous avons une bonne nouvelle à partager.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">La Bible enseigne que le Yoga, les rituels, le fait de manger les bons aliments et de ne rien désirer ne permettront pas d’effacer votre Karma. Peu importe à quel point vous essayez de travailler, il y a toujours plus de mauvaises choses à effacer. Même le désir d’effacer votre Karma peut vous en créer davantage. N’est-il pas naturel de désirer un objectif ? Ne voulez-vous pas être pardonné ? Pourquoi serait-il mal de désirer cela ? Est-il mal de désirer être aimé inconditionnellement ? Ce sont des graines de désir que Dieu a mises en vous pour vous aider à Le trouver.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Si nous n’avions pas la Bible, il serait plus facile de conclure que l’hindouisme est le bon chemin. Mais la Bible dit qu’il n’y a qu’UN seul Dieu, et qu’Il est un Dieu qui vous aime. Il est votre Père céleste. Vous ne deviendrez jamais un dieu ni ne ferez partie d’un dieu, mais vous POUVEZ devenir un enfant de Dieu. Il vous aime tellement qu’Il a fait en sorte que toutes les mauvaises choses que vous avez jamais faites soient pardonnées.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Oui, le livre le plus fiable de tous les temps, la Bible, enseigne que les mauvaises choses que vous avez faites, comme dire un seul mensonge, vous séparent de Dieu parce qu’Il est parfait. Cela signifie que vous ne pouvez pas aller au Ciel où Dieu est et vivre éternellement avec Lui. Ou si vous ne choisissez pas de vous faire pardonner par Dieu, les mauvaises choses que vous avez faites vous séparent de Dieu et vous allez en Enfer parce qu’Il est parfait et que vous ne le serez pas. Mais Dieu vous aime tellement qu’Il veut avoir une relation personnelle avec VOUS, afin que vous PUISSIEZ aller au Ciel.&nbsp; Alors, savez-vous ce que Dieu a fait pour vous parce qu’Il vous aime tant ? Dieu est venu en Jésus pour vivre une vie parfaite pour vous, afin qu’Il puisse prendre tout votre châtiment, Il est ensuite mort à votre place, et Il est ressuscité d’entre les morts, afin que vous puissiez recevoir le pardon. Ok, ne manquez pas ceci ! La Bible dit que si vous CROYEZ que Dieu a fait cela pour vous, alors vous recevrez le pardon et irez au Ciel. Oui, c’est tout. Voici l’un des nombreux versets de la Bible qui le disent. Romains 4:5, « Mais celui qui ne travaille pas, mais qui croit en Celui qui justifie l’impie, sa foi lui est comptée comme justice. »\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">C’est tout. Cela semble si facile, n’est-ce pas ? Mais Dieu est votre Père céleste, Il est Celui qui vous a créé de la tête aux pieds. Il vous aime tellement qu’Il sait combien de cheveux vous avez sur la tête. Vous avez tant de valeur et d’importance aux yeux de Dieu que si vous étiez la seule personne vivante, Il viendrait mourir juste pour vous. Il vous aime comme un bon père aime son fils ou sa fille. Inconditionnellement. Il donne aussi des cadeaux, comme le ferait un bon père. Il vous a en fait donné le meilleur cadeau que vous puissiez jamais avoir, le pardon de toutes les mauvaises choses que vous avez jamais faites, et le fait d’aller au Ciel, simplement en croyant en Lui.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">&nbsp;Un verset de la Bible dit, 2 Corinthiens 6:2,&nbsp; « Voici maintenant le temps favorable, voici maintenant le jour du salut. » Alors, croirez-vous que Dieu a fait cela pour vous dès maintenant ?\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Alors nous voulons vous demander, croirez-vous, dès maintenant, que Dieu a fait cela pour vous ?\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">C’est merveilleux.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Voulez-vous dire cette prière à voix haute ?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">« Cher Dieu,\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Je sais que j’ai fait beaucoup de mauvaises choses.

용서받고 싶지 않으신가요? 그것을 바라는 것이 왜 잘못된 것일까요? 무조건적인 사랑을 받고 싶어 하는 것이 잘못된 것일까요? 그것들은 하나님께서 당신이 그분을 찾도록 심어주신 욕망의 씨앗입니다.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">성경이 없다면 힌두교가 올바른 길이라고 결론 내리기 쉬울 것입니다. 그러나 성경은 오직 한 분의 하나님이 계시며, 그분은 당신을 사랑하시는 하나님이라고 말합니다. 그분은 하늘에 계신 당신의 아버지이십니다. 당신은 결코 하나님이 되거나 하나님의 일부가 될 수는 없지만, 하나님의 자녀가 될 수는 있습니다. 그분은 당신을 너무나 사랑하시어, 당신이 저지른 모든 나쁜 일을 용서받을 수 있는 길을 마련하셨습니다.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr>\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">네, 가장 신뢰할 수 있는 책인 성경은, 거짓말 한 번과 같은 사소한 잘못이라도 완전하신 하나님으로부터 당신을 갈라놓는다고 가르칩니다. 이는 당신이 하나님께서 계신 천국에 가서 영원히 그분과 함께 살 수 없다는 것을 의미합니다. 또는 하나님의 용서를 선택하지 않는다면, 당신이 저지른 나쁜 일들이 당신을 하나님으로부터 갈라놓아, 완전하지 않은 당신은 지옥에 가게 될 것입니다. 그러나 하나님은 당신을 너무나 사랑하시어, 당신과 개인적인 관계를 맺기를 원하시므로, 당신은 천국에 갈 수 있습니다.&nbsp; 그렇다면 하나님께서 당신을 사랑하시기에 당신을 위해 무엇을 하셨는지 아십니까?
