Textos Fuera de Contexto

"Todo lo puedo en Cristo que me fortalece." Eso suena maravilloso Pero, qu es "todo"? Ser un campe n de futbol? O un f sico nuclear? O un s per modelo? O un magnate rico? O el pr ximo presidente de mi pa s? A fin de cuentas, el texto dice "todo," no es cierto? Entonces, por qu limitar a Dios?

Algo nos dice que debe haber un error en esta interpretaci n o, de lo contrario, habr a un exceso de futbolistas, f sicos nucleares, s per modelos, y magnates ricos. Pero muchos cristianos no piensan en ello con la debida atenci n.

Malinterpretar un texto no es solo un problema: es una tragedia. Dios tiene la intenci n de que Su Palabra sea entendida. . .

En Textos fuera de contexto, algunas de las voces m s influyentes en la iglesia de hoy, analizan algunos de los pasajes b blicos m s malinterpretados en nuestros tiempos. Si prestamos atenci n a los cap tulos de este importante libro, no solo mejoraremos nuestro entendimiento de la Palabra santa de Dios, sino que tambi n honraremos a Dios al tomar en serio Su Palabra y crecer en el discipulado.

"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength": that sounds wonderful What things? Become a champion footballer? or a nuclear physicist? or a super model? or a rich tycoon? or the next president of my country? After all, the text says "all things," doesn't it? So why should we limit God?

Something tells us that there must be a fault in this interpretation, or else there would a superfluity of footballers, nuclear physicists, super models, and rich tycoons. But many Christians don't think very carefully about this.

That's not only a problem; it is a tragedy. For God intends his Word to be understood. . .

In Texts Outside of Context, some of the most influential voices in the Church today, analyze some of the Bible passages that are most misunderstood on our day. . . If we heed the message of this important book, we will not only pay more attention to contexts and improve our understanding of God's holy Word, but we will also honor God by taking his Word seriously and growing in Christian discipleship.
