Los fariseos y las parábolas

Published: November 24, 2016 (Originally published: November 24, 2016)
Q

Tengo dos preguntas. La primera es sobre los fariseos. En los evangelios vemos que los fariseos practicamente odiaban a Jesus. Mi pregunta es, ?Por que? ?Por que lo odiaban? Es decir, El estaba curando a los enfermos y devolviendoles la vista a los ciegos. ?Por que no lo siguieron? Mi segunda pregunta es: ?Por que Jesus enseno en parabolas? Cuando leia el Evangelio segun Marcos, pareciera que El no querian que la gente entendiera Su mensaje. ?Por que fue eso asi?

El ojo de la aguja

Published: November 24, 2016 (Originally published: November 24, 2016)
Q

Recuerdo que se me dijo que en Jerusalen hay un paso entre dos paredes de la ciudad al que se le refiere como el ojo de la aguja. Era muy dificil que un camello pasara por ahi y por eso las palabras de Cristo que era mas facil que un camello pasara por el ojo de una aguja que un rico entrara al Reino de los Cielos. Esa era una referencia al area entre las paredes y la gente entendio que eso seria dificil pero ciertamente no imposible. ?Ha oido usted de eso?

Nunca he podido entender Juan 12:39-40 asi como otros versiculos que hablan de lo mismo. ?Por que Dios ciega a la gente para que no puedan entender, o endurece su corazon? Este versiculo dice, «Para que no vean con los ojos, y entiendan con el corazon, y se conviertan.» ?Por que?

Q

Mi madre trabaja con una mujer a la que le han sucedido muchas cosas horribles en su vida. Su apartamento se quemo, su hermana fue asesinada, y ahora su papa ha sido diagnosticado con cancer. Desde que todo esto sucedio, ella ha estado cuestionando a Dios y ahora dice que Dios no existe. Literalmente ella le ha dado la espalda y ha perdido su fe. ?Como le puedo hablar a alguien que usted cree que es una persona cristiana y que ha abandonado su fe debido a cosas horribles que le han sucedido con sus seres queridos?

¿Por qué mantenerlo en silencio?

Published: November 23, 2016 (Originally published: November 23, 2016)
Q

Mientras volvi a leer el Evangelio segun Mateo, Marcos y parte de Lucas parece que hay un tema constante cuando Jesus sanaba a alguien, y es que El les decia de no decirselo a nadie. ?Cree usted que debido a que el Padre no era glorificado por las muchedumbres al ver eso que esto pudo haber sido la razon de que yo me estoy perdiendo de ver el cuadro completo? Ademas, ?por que Jesus les decia a los demonios de mantenerse callados sobre quien era El? Yo leo su sitio web casi todos los dias y he aprendido mucho, ?gracias!

Q

La Biblia dice que Dios habia querido la muerte de Jesus (Juan 3:16), que «[Jesus] fue entregado conforme al plan determinado y el conocimiento anticipado de Dios» en Hechos 2:23, y en Lucas 22:22 dice «El Hijo del Hombre va, segun lo que esta determinado; pero ?ay de aquel que lo va a traicionar!» Por encima parece que Judas no tenia otra opcion. ?Lo podria explicar?

Los negó dos veces

Q

Ref.: Mateo 7:21-23. Este pasaje siempre me ha alarmado. Parece como si esas personas son cristianas que han recibido a Jesus como Salvador y Senor ya que de otra manera no podrian hacer grandes cosas a menos que fuera el Espiritu Santo haciendolas por medio de ellas. Entonces, si no pueden perder su salvacion eterna, ?por que les dijo Jesus que se apartaran de El porque nunca los habia conocido?

¿Por qué se sentirán avergonzados?

Q

En 1 Juan, Juan dice «permanezcan en el para que, cuando se manifieste, tengamos confianza, y cuando venga no nos alejemos de el avergonzados.» Estoy seguro que la frase «cuando [el] venga» se refiere al rapto. Mi pregunta es, ?realmente habra personas creyentes que se sentiran avergonzadas cuando El se manifieste? ?Y por que eso seria asi?

El acceso a otros ámbitos

Published: November 21, 2016 (Originally published: November 21, 2016)
Q

A traves de la historia de la iglesia, a pesar de que hay relatos de santos que visitan a otros santos, teniendo conversaciones acerca de cosas espirituales y, en el caso de Tomas de Aquino, aun siendo ensenados acerca de asuntos espirituales dificiles. Tambien hay un momento en el monte de la Transfiguracion cuando Jesus junto con Pedro, Santiago y Juan fueron acompanados por Moises y Elias, quienes habian muerto mucho tiempo antes. Yo se que en Mateo 22:32 Jesus menciono que Dios es el Dios de los vivientes, y Pablo escribe que las personas creyentes que mueren aqui estan vivas y bien con Jesus. ?Seria seguro decir que a estas personas creyentes se les da un vistazo momentaneo y aun son llevados en el espiritu y que se les ha otorgado temporalmente acceso al ambito espiritual?

Q

En la Biblia se menciona el colapso financiero, diciendo que «porque en una hora» toda esa riqueza se hace nada. Tambien menciona que diez reyes que todavia no han recibido el poder, lo compartiran durante «una hora» con el anticristo. ?Cree usted que cada «una hora» se refiere a un traslape de tiempo en la cronologia de la profecia?
