加尔文主义的奥秘经文盒

加尔文主义的奥秘经文盒

April 7, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in 聚焦恩典 - 加尔文主义, 坚忍, 得救的信心, 永远安全, 确信

我正坐在飞机上等待从达拉斯-沃斯堡机场飞往佛罗里达州奥兰多,参加6月8-9日以”加尔文主义符合圣经吗?”为主题的地区会议。
我拿出会议日程查看,开始准备当晚要分享的信息。
这时发生了一件不寻常的事。

如今飞机邻座乘客除了打招呼外很少交谈。但这次坐在我旁边的男士看着我的资料说:”这问题真棒。加尔文主义符合圣经吗?”
他期待回答。于是我告诉他我们正在举办相关主题会议,虽然加尔文主义出于善意,但答案是否定的——它不符合圣经。

他随即给出深刻见解:

“我发现当加尔文主义者遇到不符合其体系的经文时,会将其放进我称之为’奥秘盒子’的容器。他们解释说这些经文是奥秘,我们无法完全理解。这些经文看似与加尔文主义矛盾,但既然不可能是真矛盾,就归类为奥秘。”

我认为这观察非常精准。我在与加尔文主义者交流时也常听到类似说法:虽然许多经文显示信心是永生的条件,但我们知道重生先于信心;有些经文看似教导未重生者能相信,但我们知道死人不能信;有些经文说基督为众人死,但我们知道祂只为选民而死等等。虽然他们不直接提及”奥秘盒子”,实则将这些经文归入其中。

我在奥兰多进行了三场演讲,每场都提到”奥秘盒子”的概念。听众反馈这个比喻非常具启发性。

五点(或六点)加尔文主义的问题在于其”奥秘经文盒子”的体量——实在过于庞大。当有数十处经文需要放入”奥秘盒子”时,这个体系就该被抛弃,转而接受神的话语明确教导:主耶稣为世人的罪而死,叫一切信祂的都得永生(《约翰福音》3:16)。他们应当从加尔文主义者转变为圣经主义者。

后来得知这位年轻人参加达拉斯-沃斯堡都会区一间福音派教会。当我阐述”永生是凭信心而非行为领受的礼物,且不需要靠行为持守”的《圣经》观点时,他深表认同。我递上名片邀请他浏览我们网站。这位极具洞察力的年轻人提供的”奥秘盒子”比喻实在宝贵,如今通过我的分享已成为我们共同的财富。
