我们需要全心全意地相信吗

WW 提出了一个关于得救的信心的有趣问题: 很喜欢你的频道。问题:《徒》8:37 说:“腓利说:‘你若是一心(英文是‘全心’, all thine heart)相信,就可以。’他回答:‘我信耶稣基督是上帝的儿子。’”一个人可以因为相信而得救,但也许并非全心全意?主要是相信吗?如何衡量 “全心全意”? 这是《圣经》中唯一一节提到 “全心全意(with all your heart) ”相信的经文。 事实上,《圣经》中没有其他经文提到信心的程度i。 不过,还有三节经文中出现了 “全心全意 ”一词。主说最大的诫命是 “你要尽心、尽性、尽意爱主—你的上帝。”(《太》22:37;《可》12:30;《路》10:27)。这些经文是成圣的经文。它们并不是说明获得永生的条件。 《徒》8:37 在大多数希腊文手抄本中都找不到。事实上,无论是多数文本(Majority Text)还是所谓的批判文本(Critical Text)都不包括这节经文。它只出现在少数手稿中。不幸的是,伊拉斯谟(Erasmus)在制定《圣经》文本(Textus Receptus,TR)时使用的少量手稿中也包含了这节经文。 根据梅茨格的《希腊文新约圣经文本注释》,“虽然这段话没有出现在伊拉斯谟的版本(ms. 2)主要依靠的中世纪晚期手稿中,但它出现在另一版本(ms. 4)的页边空白处,伊拉斯谟把它插入到他的文本中,因为他‘判断它是由于抄写员的粗心大意而被省略的’”(第 315-16 页) 很明显,这句话不是经文。然而,由于有些人认为 […]

Bira li Bog ljude koji će se spasiti?

Prema kalvinistima, izraz izabrani jedan je od najvažnijih u Bibliji, iako se u Novom zavjetu pojavljuje samo sedam puta (Matej 24:24; Marko 13:22; Rimljanima 11:7; Kološanima 3:12; 1. Timoteju 5:21; […]

上帝会选择谁来获得救恩吗

加尔文主义者认为,“选民 ”是《圣经》中最重要的表述之一,尽管它在《新约》中仅出现过7次(《太》24:24;《可》13:22;《罗》11:7;《西》3:12;《提前》5:21;《提后》2:10;《约贰》1章)。在没有定冠词的情况下,“挑选 ”或 “选出 ”在《新约》中还出现过 16 次。 然而,其他词语也表达了“选出”或“拣选”的意思。在《新约》中,“选择 ”或 “被拣选 ”出现了37次。 这些希腊词语是:eklego(我选择或我挑选)、eklektos(挑选)、ekloge(选出)、proorizo(我预定)、haireo(我选择)、tasso(我指定、放置)和horizo(我指定、决定)。 著名的加尔文主义者山姆·斯托默斯(Sam Storms)在网上发表了一篇文章,题为 “关于选出的圣经术语”。参见此处here。这7个词在《新约》中出现了76次。 斯托默斯说,大多数在《新约》中提到的选出或选择都与他所说的被拣选得永生无关。根据他自己的统计,在76次提及中,只有36次提到了被拣选得永生。这个数还连一半都不到。 今天,为了准备我的主日学课程,我评估了斯托默斯提及的关于被拣选得永生的所有36处参考文献。 我逐一进行了分析。 我将向你们介绍我研究的 “克里夫笔记(Cliff Notes ) ”版本。 在他的36处引用中,有9处出现在对观福音书中,指的是以色列——上帝的选民(《太》22:14;24:22、24、31;《可》13:20(两次)、22、27;《路》18:7)。这些都与个人或群体被拣选得永生无关。 这样就减少到27个可能的引用。 其中3个例子出现在《使徒行传》中,一个提到以色列(《徒》13:17),一个提到保罗是上帝所拣选的器皿(《徒》9:15),还有一个根本没有提到拣选(《徒》13:48)。 现在76处中只剩下24处。 加尔文主义者引用了如此薄弱的证据,这对他们的论点很不利。 我将跳过加尔文主义者引用的最具决定性的经文i。 彼得的书信中有2次使用:《彼前》1:1和《彼后》1:10。 […]
