Il futuro di Israele

December 6, 2023 by Ken Yates in Grazia Gratuita - Gr 31:31-37, Rapimento, Regno, Ro 11:25-27
Il compianto Charles Krauthammer, editorialista vincitore di un Pulitzer, una volta disse su Israele: “Israele è l’espressione stessa della continuità ebraica: è l’unica nazione al mondo che abita la stessa terra, porta lo stesso nome, parla la stessa lingua e adora lo stesso Dio come 3.000 anni fa” (Charles Krauthammer, Things That Matter: Three Decades

The Rejection of Christ by the Sadducees 

December 6, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - Pharisees, Sadducees
The Sadducees were the most politically powerful group of men in first-century Israel. They would have been the wealthiest as well. The high priest of the nation came from their ranks. The Sadducees, then, were key players among the religious leaders during the ministry of Christ. In the Gospels, these leaders are the ones most

死人还有机会吗?

December 6, 2023 by Ken Yates in 聚焦恩典 - 永恒, 永生, 火湖
我们很容易陷入泡沫之中。我们会不自觉地认为,我们所思考或担心的事情就是每个人所思考和担心的事情。然而,每隔一段时间,我们的泡沫就会破灭,我们会意识到事实并非如此。有人会问一个问题或讨论一个我们从未想过的问题。这样的对话令人吃惊。我们甚至可能会说,这些想法从未在我们的脑海中出现过。 我最近就遇到了这种情况。有人告诉我,在一些基督教讨论论坛上,有些人对已经去世的人感到疑惑。其中特别讨论了两个问题。第一个问题是,从未信主的人死后是否还有机会信主。第二个问题与第一个问题有关:我们应该为不信的死人祷告吗?具体来说,我们是否应该祷告主怜悯他们,或者为当他们得到第二次机会时,他们会相信来祷告? 我从未想过这些问题,其中一个原因是我年纪较大,在这里工作了一段时间,没有听到福音派信徒讨论过这些观点。我当过很长一段时间的军中牧师,与来自不同神学背景的人共事。我从未见过任何自称为福音派的人认为我们应该为死者祈祷。我听到过最接近这种想法的是天主教徒谈到向死去的圣人祈求帮助。此外,有些天主教徒会为某些逝者祈祷,希望他们能更快地从炼狱中解脱出来。通过与摩门教牧师的接触,我还知道摩门教徒会代替死去的人为自己洗礼,以便让死去的人在日后获得好处。但我认识的每个福音派教徒都认为这种做法不仅愚蠢,而且是异端邪说。 《希伯来书》的作者总结了《圣经》对这些问题的看法,他说:“按着命定,人人都有一死,死后且有审判”(《来》9:27)。很难有比这更直接的表述了。一个人死后,他将等待审判。为这个人祷告不会有任何结果。 《圣经》中没有一处告诉我们要为死人祷告。《路加福音》16:19-31 中记载了著名的财主和拉撒路的故事。财主死后,他要拉撒路去找财主的兄弟,警告他们财主的处境。如果上帝的子民可以通过为不信的死人祷告来帮助他们离开阴间,那么亚伯拉罕没有告诉财主不要担心,这是是多么残忍呀?亚伯拉罕本可以告诉他,活人的祷告会结束他的痛苦。他只需要耐心等待。他还会有机会相信。 一个已死的不信的人的问题并不在于人们会不会为他祷告。问题在于他没有永生,也不可能有永生。i 为了得到生命,一个人必须活着,并为此相信基督(《约翰福音》11:26)。一旦一个人在肉体上不再活着,就无法得到永生。 在《启示录》 21:8 中,主提到了那些在火湖里的人。但这是在祂创造了新天新地之后。此时火湖里的大多数人已经死了数千年。为什么他们不像财主那样在死后受尽折磨时就相信呢?为什么他们在白色大宝座审判时不相信呢?为什么主在这里说他们的命运是永恒的(《启示录》 20:10,15)?难道永恒中的人就不能为他们祷告,一旦这些人醒悟并相信了,就可以把火湖里的人带出去吗? 不告诉我们要为死人祷告还有另一个原因。这种做法很容易导致试图与他们沟通,让他们知道我们在为他们祈祷。在《圣经》中,人们与死人交谈,或试图影响他们,是灵性严重衰退的标志(例如,《王下》 23:24)。天主教徒和摩门教徒可以为我们敲响警钟。 我们有时会听到孩子们为撒旦和他的魔鬼祷告,祈求上帝拯救他们。我们从《希伯来书》第二章知道,基督没有为他们死,所以他们不可能得救。我们甚至会为孩子们的天真而微笑。然而,当成年的福音派信徒为死去的非信徒做类似的祷告时,这就不可爱了。我们应该明白这一点。 __________ i 当然,有一个需要负责任的年龄(age of accountability)。我说的是达到这个年龄后不相信耶稣而死去的人。我们的网站上有很多关于这方面的文章。请参阅鲍勃于2020年11月发表的博客和鲍勃于2019年5月发表的博客。

Умершие люди получают ещё один шанс?

December 1, 2023 by Ken Yates in Бесплатный дар благодати - Вечная жизнь, Вечность, Озеро огненное
Иногда нам легко закрыться в своем маленьком домике и начать неосознанно предполагать, что нас тревожат те же вещи, что и других. Время от времени, тем мне менее, наш домик рушится, и мы осознаем, что это не так. Кто-то может задать вопрос или начать обсуждение темы, которая ни разу не приходила нам в голову. Такие разговоры

A Failure to Communicate 

December 1, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - 1 John 5:13, Jas 2:19, teaching
For successful communication to take place, the one sending the message and the one receiving the message must be on the same page. It is a common occurrence, however, that communication fails to take place. Sometimes, the one sending the message is unclear and the receiver is justifiably unable to understand what is being said.

¿Tienen los muertos otra oportunidad?

November 30, 2023 by Ken Yates in Su Gracia Gratuita - Eternidad, Lago del fuego, Vida Eterna
Es fácil quedar atrapado en una burbuja. Inconscientemente asumimos que las cosas que pensamos o nos preocupan son las cosas que todo el mundo piensa y se preocupa. De vez en cuando, sin embargo, nuestras burbujas estallan y nos damos cuenta de que no es así. Alguien nos hace una pregunta o discute un tema

Mayroon bang ikalawang pagkakataon ang mga patay?

November 30, 2023 by Ken Yates in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya
Madaling makulong sa mga bula. Inaakala natin nang walang kamalayan na ng mga bagay na ating iniisip o ipinag-aalala ay ang mga bagay na iniisip o ipinag-aalala ng iba. Ngunit paminsan-minsan ang ating mga bula ay pumuputok at natatanto nating hindi ganito ang nangyayari. May isang magtatanong o kaya ay tatalakay ng isang isyung hindi

I defunti hanno un’altra possibilità?

November 29, 2023 by Ken Yates in Grazia Gratuita - Eternità, Stagno di Fuoco, Vita Eterna
È facile rimanere intrappolati in una bolla. Crediamo, inconsciamente, che le cose che pensiamo o di cui ci preoccupiamo siano le stesse per tutti. Qualche volta, però, questa bolla finisce per scoppiare e ci rendiamo conto che non è così. Qualcuno solleverà una domanda o discuterà di un problema che non ci è mai passato

Tell the Janitor to Come Up Here (Luke 14:7-11) 

November 29, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - Bema, Humility, rewards
When I was in college, I attended one of our nation’s military service academies. Naturally, we studied our nation’s heroes. All the buildings on campus were named after such men. These men had shown extraordinary courage in the face of danger during our country’s wars. As cadets, we were incredibly busy. We went to class,

Judging Motives: A New Twist 

November 27, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - 1 Cor 4:5, Grace, Motives
In 1 Cor 4:5, Paul tells us not to judge the motives of other believers. Every time I have heard this verse discussed, it has been said that if we see a Christian doing a good work, we should not question their motive. We don’t know their motive. Perhaps somebody is doing a Christian work
