Alas en un cerdo

Last updated on: January 19, 2011 at 6:30 pm   By John Shore

(N. de la T.: Alas en un cerdo es una expresión utilizada en inglés muy similar a “cuando las vacas vuelen”)  En estos días, cada cristiano que “está contra la homosexualidad” (sea lo que sea lo que eso quiera decir) presenta el mismo argumento. Dicho argumento es… bueno, este, tomado directamente de un correo electrónico que me enviaron esta mañana: ¿Le darías tu apoyo a un adúltero en serie que ama a su mujer, pero se siente atraído por otras... Read more

De una mujer cristiana que eligió realizarse un aborto

Last updated on: January 31, 2017 at 12:30 pm   By John Shore

Esto me llegó hace un par de días: Querido John, No te conozco lo suficientemente bien como para compartir essto, pero nunca habrá nadie en mi propia iglesia con quien pueda compartirlo. El artículo que escribiste sobre el aborto [“Los cristianos y el aborto: ¿qué somos, bebés?”] realmente llegó a mi corazón. Yo fui una vez una cristiana sentenciosa que, en una ocasión, incluso se levantó ante una congregación y dio su testimonio acerca de cuan agradecida estaba de que... Read more

Como um Deus Amoroso torna-se um Deus Odioso

Last updated on: January 11, 2011 at 9:42 pm   By John Shore

Como muito de vocês anteciparam, minha resposta a questão de ontem, “Qual qualidade que qualquer religião pode facilmente fazer dela a coisa mais perigosa no mundo?” é exclusividade. Exclusividade. Vamos explorar, sim? A convicção que uma religião é infinitamente mais correta que qualquer outra tende a inevitavelmente – e certamente pela história – acontecer desta maneira:   Eu conheço Deus.
