El Dr. Ray Ciervo, apologista, pastor y ex alumno de SES, se une a nosotros esta semana para hablar de cómo alguien puede […]
By Ryan Leasure In this post, we will consider the history of the English Bible. The Bible, after all, wasn’t written in English but in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. In fact, English didn’t even exist when the Bible was written! So how did the Bible end up in our language? That’s what I hope to […]
By Melissa Dougherty “Buddhism has much more to offer than Christianity does!” “How do you figure? What you’re suggesting is impossible. It’s unattainable.

Por Ryan Leasure ¿Es verdad que los documentos del Nuevo Testamento no fueron Escrituras hasta el siglo IV? Es decir, ¿los libros no tenían autoridad hasta que los concilios de la iglesia se la otorgaron?
