Amaos! Is Jesus a spinoff of the Pagan gods? : matt fradd. Similarity Does Not Imply Dependence Before we look at some of these alleged parallels between Christianity and paganism (and why they’re false), it’s important to note that similarity does not imply dependence. That is, even if Christianity did have beliefs and practices similar to those of earlier religions, it doesn’t follow that there must be a causal connection between them. Similarities among religions shouldn’t surprise us. Most religions, after all, try to answer the same fundamental questions in life: “Where did we come from?” Jesus, Pagan Myth, & Antisemitism Claims that Christian beliefs about Jesus are adapted from pagan cults may be popular today, but they’re nothing new. Unfortunately for these critics, their arguments were not taken seriously by mainstream critics and their work fell into relative obscurity.
The fact is, there is no serious debate among the vast majority of scholars in the fields related to the question of the historicity of Jesus. A virgin birth? Vocaciones femeninas adultas. Carta de una lectora: Estimado Cordialiter, De casualidad, desde otro blog he llegado al de usted, y me he sorprendido mucho... pues al darle click me he encontrando "casualmente" con las hermanas del IVE. Tengo 42 años y me siento llamada por el Señor desde hace algún tiempo, solo que no he sido fiel a la gracia. Una religiosa hace un año más o menos me dijo que hasta que no me entregar al 100 por ciento al Señor, realmente no encontraré aquello que busco. Hace uno seis años casi fui religiosa carmelita descalza, pero eran otra epocas y yo no era una persona madura entonces y me salí, craso error porque hasta el día de hoy me arrepiento. No le negaré que en ocasiones tengo miedo... pero se que Dios, que todo lo puede, me ayudará.
Me emocioné mucho.. al leer todo esto!!!! Le agradeceré su ayuda, Un saludo en Cristo, Carta firmada Querida hermana en Cristo, Soy italiano y no hablo bien el español.

The Canonical Obligation of Spouses to Approach the Ecclesiastical Authority for a Separation | Anthony St. Louis-Sanchez. Canon of Scripture. ElCanon dela Escritura... ¿Quién Disparó el Tiro Decisivo? He leído muchos artículos Protestantes sobre el origen de los cánones del Antiguo y del Nuevo Testamento, ambos. Todos se quedan cortos sobre la realidad de lo que realmente sucedió. Lo que eligieron relatar solamente cuenta la mitad de la historia y aunque a primer vistazo, pareciera realzar su posición, fueron enlistados con desaciertos. Como ya he mencionado en otras páginas de este sitio del internet bajo el título de "Es la Mitad de la Historia Suficiente", "La MITAD de la VERDAD no es VERDAD NINGUNA". Como ya probablemente sabe usted, las Biblias Católicas tienen 73 libros, 46 en el Antiguo Testamento, y 27 en el Nuevo Testamento.
Para encontrar los detalles de las acciones de Martín Lutero al hacer esto, por favor leer, "El Origen de Sola Scriptura", en este mismo sitio. Vale tener en cuenta el hecho de que estos siete libros han estado en las Biblias usadas por todos los Cristianos desde la misma fundación de la Cristiandad. Sobre el distributismo - The Distributist Review. (Este artículo fue escrito por Don Pedro Jiménez de León) ¿Hay alguna alternativa al neoliberalismo y al socialismo? ¿Hay algún método de producción leal a la condición humana y su naturaleza? Una mirada por encima al distributismo. ¿Qué es el distributismo? El distributismo nace entre finales del XIX y principios del XX a raíz de las premisas vertidas en la encíclica Rerum Novarum, en la cual el Santo Padre León XIII hace un repaso a la situación social del momento, incidiendo en las condiciones inhumanas en que se encuentran los trabajadores por obra del sistema capitalista.
Basándose en ésta, G.K. Premisas básicas Podemos ver tres puntos básicos en el distributismo, que serían: La propiedad privada como punto de partida, pero no cualquier propiedad privada. El distributismo sigue el principio de subsidiariedad, esto es, dicho de una manera sencilla, que lo que puede hacer una entidad más pequeña no lo haga una entidad más grande.
La tercera premisa, y muy importante, es la solidaridad. El distributista. Catholic Apologetics Academy | The Envoy Institute's Catholic Apologetics Academy. Patrick Madrid : Patrick Madrid.

The Official Peter Kreeft Site - Introduction. Amparo, exrevolucionaria y funcionaria de la ONU: «Mi trabajo era destrozar la fe de los católicos» Amparo lo tuvo claro. Era la Virgen María quien le hablaba. Todo sucedió cuando recibió un disparo de la policía en plena refriega. Cuando despertó en el hospital decidió que su vida debía cambiar radicalmente. Su “enfangada” vida debía dar un giro de 180 y dejar de lado su servilismo político y su vida de pecado, y dedicarse a las mujeres y a los niños buscando su auténtico bien. Un abuelo católico Ella había nacido en una familia muy normal de Ecuador. En cierta ocasión, siendo Amparo adolescente y de camino hacia el ateísmo, su abuelo le dejó unas palabras que no habría de olvidar nunca. El resto fue una caída libre: expulsada del colegio por pelearse con una monja, y un encuentro con evangélicos que acabaron de rematar su camino rebelde y ateo.
Si algo no se le puede reprochar a Amparo es que no fuera una persona coherente con sus principios. Se radicaliza en EspañaComo la situación política en Ecuador se complicó, su padre la envió a España a estudiar Pedagogía Social. The Innocence of Common Sense and the Deconstruction of Marriage | Catholic World Report. The world needs to hear the deep, life-giving, theological resonance of God’s plan for marriage and family Recently, Archbishop Cordileone of San Francisco, chairman of the U.S. bishops' Subcommittee for the Promotion and Defense of Marriage, gave an address at the March for Marriage in Washington, D.C. He focused on the common sense argument that all children deserve mothers and fathers. First, though, he effused peace and well-being: “We love you (the opposition)… and want you to be happy… we don’t hate you… we want to be your friends… try to understand our position, as we will try to do the same for you.” Those disarming, unfeigned words reminded me of Herman Melville’s classic tale of innocence, Billy Budd.
Billy Budd sees everything through a perfectly smooth lens, neither convex nor concave. Archbishop Cordileone has a depth and charism that the character Budd does not have. Archbishop Cordileone summed up his argument in a quotable declaration: “marriage matters to kids.” Why Do Women Do That? | Lighthouse Catholic YouthLighthouse Catholic Youth.

Welcome to the CCEL - Christian Classics Ethereal Library. Omar F. A. Gutiérrez. A Question I Never Tire of Answering | John C. Wright's Journal. A reader I hope is young and not being serious asks: Let me get this straight: you, a presumably rational individual who writes science fiction stories for a living, sincerely believes that the creator of our 13.7 billion year-old universe of 70 sextillion stars magically impregnated a human female about 2000 years ago – a woman who then gave birth to a son named Jesus who performed miracles, rose from the dead and served as the creator’s messenger to humanity? This might make for a mildly interesting, if outlandish, science fiction story, but the source of your belief system?
If you’re going to base your life philosophy on absurd myths, why not choose something a bit more interesting? Why not master the Dark Side of the Force or the Golden Path, becoming a Sith Lord or a God-Emperor and strive to rule a Galaxy? Why choose something as ridiculous and wretched as Christianity? I must admit I am rather perplexed… My answer: For the first time in my life, I prayed, and said. I was converted. Consolidated Electronic Catholic Resources. SPSE Training | Just another St. Paul Street Evangelization Sites site. Dear Catholic Evangelist, Welcome to the home of our St. Paul Street Evangelization’s training & members website.
This website has been carefully prepared to ensure that all Catholics, especially those with a heart for evangelization, will be able to increase their knowledge of the faith and learn how to effectively share it with those that they meet out on the street and in everyday life. We firmly believe that evangelization is not just the work of apologetical and theological experts or clergy, but of each Catholic by the nature of their baptism.
You and I have been called to be agents of the New Evangelization and spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. As evangelists, we believe that each person we meet should be treated with the dignity they possess as a person created in the image and likeness of God.
