Спасутся лишь некоторые или многие?

July 19, 2023 by Ken Yates in Бесплатный дар благодати - Благодать, Легкая вера, Луки 13:23, Уверенность
В Луки 13:23 Господа спрашивают, много ли людей спасётся. В этом контексте Господь говорит о спасении, относящемся к нации Израиля. Но этот вопрос часто задается в более широком смысле. В Царство Божье попадёт большинство людей или гораздо меньшее число? Этот вопрос имеет отношение к дискуссии вокруг доктрины бесплатной благодати. По моему многолетнему опыту, услышав о

得救的是少数还是多数?

July 19, 2023 by Ken Yates in 聚焦恩典 - 《路加福音》13:23, 恩典, 确信, 简单相信主义
在《路加福音》13:23,有人问主,得救的人是否很少。在这个上下文中,主谈论的是与以色列国有关的救恩。但这个问题通常是在更广泛的意义上提出的。世界上的大多数人会成为上帝国度的一部分吗? 或者这个数字会小得多? 这个问题与关于白白恩典(或免费恩典)神学(Free Grace theology)的讨论有关。多年来,我的普遍经验是,当人们听到白白恩典的宣讲时,他们会说: “你相信每个人都会在天堂。你鼓吹“简单相信主义(easy believism)”。这是我遇到的每一个主权救恩(Lordship Salvation)信徒的回答。白白恩典的永生福音是一份免费的礼物,没有任何附加条件,永远不会丢失,这还不够难。如果白白恩典的福音是真的,那么拥有永生是如此容易,以至于每个自称为基督徒的人都将进入天国。 这绝对是我从其他国家的人那里得到的最常见的反应。他们通常用“超级恩典”这个词来形容“白白恩典”。在许多这样的国家,“上天堂”意味着一生的委身。救恩是可以失去的,但只有付出很大的努力,才可以重新得到。如果你犯了罪,尤其是“大”罪,它就会再次失去。 但是最近发生了一件奇怪的事情。在这里,至少在美国,人们经常会发现完全相反的反应。当一个人宣讲说,不信的人必须相信耶稣给了他们永生,在信的那一刻,这个礼物就永远得到了,许多人说这太难了。他们指出,很少有人相信这一点。很少有人确知永生。教会里的绝大多数人认为你必须通过各种方式来获得它。如果白白恩典福音是把人从火湖里救出来的福音,那么只有很少的人会在天国里。 我觉得这很有趣。当人们理解白白恩典福音时,不同的人会从不同的角度来看待它。有人说这太容易了,如果是真的,每个人都会得救。还有人说,这太难了,如果是真的,几乎没有人能得救。是什么导致了对同一信息的不同看法? 也许我们这些宣扬白白恩典信息的人并不清楚。我们都可以做出更好但沟通,把神向所有相信祂的人保证得永生的奇妙信息传达给他们。我们都可以进一步解释,当你相信祂的应许时,你就有永生的保证。我们需要提醒自己,有许多坐在教堂长椅上的人从来没有相信过这个信息。 关于白白恩典信息的不同观点的另一个原因可能是文化。在世界上的一些地方,阿民念主义的影响非常严重。失去救赎被认为是很容易的事。那些生活在那种环境中的人会对一个人知道他有永远不会失去的永生的想法感到震惊。在这种情况下,“白白恩典”的信息被视为过于宽松,让太多人“进入”,并给出虚假的保证。 在一个不同的神学环境中,白白恩典的信息在另一个方面被视为丑闻。我们都知道“好”的基督徒总是拒绝白白恩典福音。教会历史上有很多这样做的教派。我们怎么可能认为所有这些团体和优秀的人都错了,而我们是对的呢?如果这些人不相信恩典的福音,我们怎么能不想到他们被排除在天国之外的可能呢?白白恩典的人一定认为他们是唯一在那里的人。在这种环境下,“白白恩典”的信息被视为过于严格;它没有让足够多的人进入。 太神奇了,不是吗?人们可以听到同样的信息,正确地理解传达信息的人,并得出完全相反的结论。然而,只要稍加思考,“白白恩典”的支持者就不会觉得这令人惊讶。那恶者能以各种方式蒙蔽人的心(《哥林多后书》4:4)。对一些人来说,他会说这不可能是真的,因为这意味着太多人会得救。对其他人,他会说这不可能是真的,因为得救的人太少了! 这整个讨论让我想起了另一件事。在神学世界里,白白恩典神学是最受欢迎的替罪羊,几乎每个人都喜欢抨击它。在围绕福音的神学辩论中,我发现一些安慰,因为知道那些反对恩典信息的人在他们为什么这样做的问题上强烈地反对对方。也许是因为这些反对者的传统和文化——而不是《圣经》本身——驱使他们得出的结论。

¿Se salvarán pocos o muchos?

July 18, 2023 by Ken Yates in Su Gracia Gratuita - Credulismo fácil, Gracia, Lucas 13:23, Seguridad
En Lucas 13:23, se le pregunta al Señor si serán pocos los que serán salvos. En ese contexto, el Señor está hablando de la salvación en lo que concierne a la Nación de Israel. Pero la pregunta se hace a menudo en un sentido mucho más amplio. ¿Será la mayoría de las personas en el

Kakaunti Lang Ba O Marami Ang Maliligtas?

July 18, 2023 by Ken Yates in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya
Sa Lukas 13:23, ang Panginoon ay tinanong kung iilan lang ba ang maliligtas. Sa kontekstong ito, ang Panginoon ay nagbabanggit ng kaligtasan patungkol sa bansang Israel. Ngunit ang tanong na ito ay madalas itanong sa mas malawak na diwa. Karamihan ba ng mga tao sa mundong ito ay magiging bahagi ng kaharian ng Diyos, o

Is Faith Quantitative? 

July 18, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - Christian Growth, Faith, Matt 15:28, Matt 8:10, Sanctification
A friend of mine recently had a great way to describe faith. He said it is a state. It is not quantitative. We usually don’t use such words to define faith, but they are very appropriate. Most people think of faith as quantitative; they think we can measure how much we believe something. For example,

Un’interpretazione diversa di Giacomo 2:19

July 14, 2023 by Ken Yates in Grazia Gratuita - Angeli, Diavolo, Grazia, Satana
Una donna nella chiesa che frequento (la chiamerò Betty) mi ha raccontato recentemente di una conversazione avuta con un’amica. È venuta fuori un’interpretazione diversa di Giacomo 2:19, che dice, “persino i demoni credono e tremano”. Spesso, alcune persone commettono l’errore di usare quel verso per dire che la fede in Gesù soltanto non è sufficiente

Zbawienie we wczesnym Kościele

July 13, 2023 by Ken Yates in Jedynie Wiara, czyli darmowa łaska w centrum uwagi
Wielu nauczycieli w kręgach Darmowej Łaski, w tym ja [Ken Yates], utrzymuje, że pewność własnego życia wiecznego jest istotą zbawczej wiary. Rozumiemy przez to, że kiedy dana osoba uwierzy w Jezusa Chrystusa ze względu na obiecywane życie wieczne, w tym momencie ona też wie, że je posiada, na zawsze. To jest to, co Jezus obiecuje.

Being Open to God’s Word (Part 3) 

July 13, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - 2 Kings 5, evangelism, Naaman
In my last two blogs, I pointed out that often the people we least expect to be open to God’s truth are, and those we expect to be open are not. I gave the example of the widow of Zarephath. In this blog, I will address another example—Naaman the leper. The Lord spoke of these

Being Open to God’s Word (Part 2)

July 11, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - 1Kgs 17:8-24, Idolatry, miracles, widow
In my last blog, I pointed out that the Lord said that those we would expect to be open to the teachings of His Word often are not, and that those who are open are often those whom we would not expect to be. Those who preach the message of grace find this to be

Being Open to God’s Word (Part 1) 

July 7, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - Gentiles, Luke 4:16-30, Nazareth, synagogue
When we teach Free Grace, which is Biblical to the core, it is strange that the people one would expect to be open to it are often not. It would make sense that students of the Bible–including seminary students, professors, pastors, Sunday school teachers, and long-time members of evangelical churches–would be the first to see
