Luz de gas espiritual

September 28, 2023 by Kathryn Wright in Su Gracia Gratuita - 1 Pe 3:14-17, Luz de gaz, Mateo 5:11-12, Recompensas, Sufrimiento
En 1944, se estrenó la película Gaslight1, protagonizada por Ingrid Bergman. La película se centra en una mujer que se casa con un hombre aparentemente amable y cariñoso. Sin embargo, a medida que avanza la película, se hace cada vez más evidente que el marido no es lo que parece. Mueve en secreto objetos de

Espiritual Na Pagga-Gaslight O Pagmamanipula

September 28, 2023 by Kathryn Wright in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya
Noong 1944, ang pelikulang Gaslight, na pinagbibidahan ni Ingrid Bergman, ay nilabas. Ang pelikula ay umiikot sa isang babaeng nagpakasal sa isang tila mabait at mapagmahal na lalaki. Ngunit habang nagpapatuloy ang pelikula, malinaw na ang asawa ay may tinatagong pagkatao. Lihim niyang ginagalaw ang mga gamit sa buhay, at sinisindihan at pinapatay ang mga

Deconstruction: A Free Grace Response 

September 25, 2023 by Kathryn Wright in Blog - Deconstruction, Eternal State, homosexuals, rewards
Over the past few decades there has been an overwhelming exodus of young people from churches in the United States. A large percentage of Millennials (and Gen Z) who grew up in the church are leaving their evangelical roots and turning to post-modernism. These people are often referred to as “deconstructionists.” I have heard countless

Il metodo SMS per Giacomo 2

September 4, 2023 by Kathryn Wright in Grazia Gratuita - Evangelizzazione, Giacomo 2:14-26, Testi difficili
Immaginate di sentir bussare alla porta e che vi si palesino davanti due Testimoni di Geova. Procedono nel condividere l’evangelo con voi, in linea con la loro dottrina basata sulle opere. Sono gentili e apparentemente sinceri ma ovviamente sono confusi riguardo al dono gratuito della vita eterna. Durante la conversazione, condividete con loro il messaggio

Can You Evangelize Without Words?

September 4, 2023 by Kathryn Wright in Blog - 1 Pet 3:1, evangelism, Obedience
There is an old maxim, often attributed to St. Francis of Assisi, that says, “Preach the gospel at all times and if necessary, use words.” In a similar vein, there’s another adage that says, “I’d rather see a sermon than hear one.” Both phrases teach a similar idea: that our actions are more important than words,

KISS法则应用于《雅各书》2章

August 28, 2023 by Kathryn Wright in 聚焦恩典 - 《雅各书》2:14-26, 传福音, 难解的经文
假设有人敲响你的前面院子的门,面前站着两名耶和华见证人。他们开始根据他们基于行为的信仰教义向你传教。他们很友善,看起来非常真诚,但显然对永生的白白恩典有所困惑。随着对话的进行,你与他们分享了永生救赎的信息,也就是只用相信单单信靠耶稣就能获得永生。然而,他们引用《雅各书》第2章来回应这个救赎信息。他们主张行为是必要的,并且行为来证明你得救信息了。你将如何回答他们的问题? 《雅各书》2:14-26长期以来一直是神学争论的焦点。在解释《雅各书》2:14-26时,有很多内容需要涵盖。例如,需要对”拯救”、”死”和”称义”这些词进行定义;需要关注书信的背景,以及希腊文辩论(diatribe)的用法。此外,还必须克服几个世纪以来的传统和误用。解释《雅各书》第2章可谓是一项艰巨的任务,尤其是对于那些难以理解唯独信靠耶稣蒙受永生白白恩典的人来说。 上个月,我面临了这种情况。我尝试解释《雅各书》第2章。然而,坦白地说,我认为我的回应让在我前院的女士们感到困惑。虽然我试图保持简洁,但我解释得太多了,她们的眼睛变得发亮,很快结束了对话并离开了。 考虑到这次交流,我想起了一个古老的缩写词KISS,它代表着“保持简单”(Keep It Simple Saint)。在讨论教义,特别是与不信仰者的对话中,简化是很重要的。在涉及《雅各书》2章时,白白恩典的教师如何以一种有意义的方式简化对话,使之更加清晰而不引起混淆呢?我应该如何做得更好呢? 有很多种方法来解决这个问题。你与对方的交流的背景和时间将影响你如何回应这个问题。然而,如果你只有一分钟的时间,就像我之前在前院所遇到的情况,该怎么办呢?昨天,我再次在解释《雅各书》2章时遇到了这个问题。这次,我偶然发现了一个总结性的说法,我希望一个月前与耶和华见证人交谈时能想到这点: 《雅各书》并不是在教导我们的行为证明(PROVE)我们的信仰; 而是在教导我们的行为是提高(IMPROVE)我们的信仰。 我觉得这个说法很有帮助。它简洁明了,与通常的教导形成对比,同时还有一些文字游戏。这也容易记住。 在《雅各书》2章,我们看到了亚伯拉罕将以撒作为祭物献上的例子。这个事件对于大多数询问《雅各书》2章的人来说都很熟悉。因此,这是一个可以借鉴的很好的例子。此外,这件事发生在主宣告亚伯拉罕因信称义(《创世记》15:6)数十年后。亚伯拉罕对主的顺从并不是为了证明救赎,而是显示了他的成熟。在这之前,亚伯拉罕做了许多不成熟的决定。他因害怕而谎称妻子的身份(两次!)以保全自己。他是害怕的,并试图通过与夏甲同居来回避上帝的计划。然而,数十年与主同行后,当被要求牺牲他深爱的孩子时,他忠实地顺从了。他的信仰已经提高了。在这段经文中,我们看到了一个信仰已经成长的人。这是亚伯拉罕生命中的一个独特时刻。他的行为已经成熟到愿意牺牲他最爱的事物。这是属灵的成长,而不是属灵的诞生。他的行为不是证明他的信仰,而是提高了他的信仰。许多信徒都不能达到这种属灵的成熟水平。 主权派(Lordship)教师有一个著名的表述。他们经常试图通过说:“我们是单单因着信得救的,但得救的信心从不是单独的。(We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone.)” 来解释《雅各书》2章。换句话说,如果你得救了,你就会有行为。根据《罗马书》11:6,这是一个自相矛盾的说法。然而,这个陈词滥调变得非常流行,现在已经成为了通用的理解。它已经根深蒂固地融入了教会文化,并被许多人视为事实。然而,这与《新约》的教导相矛盾,包括《雅各书》。行为不是自动产生的,而成熟是一个过程。亚伯拉罕正是这一事实的完美例证。 尽管如此,主权派教师通过这个短语成功地简化了他们的立场。它简短并明确了他们的信息重点,而不会让人感到不知所措。同样,白白恩典的教师也可以考虑使用一个简化的总结。 行为不是证明信仰的,而是提高我们的信仰。 白白恩典福音事工(GES)已经写了几篇关于《雅各书》2章的文章和博客。此外,我们的书店中还有一本赞恩·霍奇斯(Zane Hodges)写的关于《雅各书》的评论。

Представьте следующую ситуацию. Вам стучат в дверь, и на пороге Вы видите свидетелей Иеговы. Они начинают благовествовать Вам согласно своему учению о спасении по делам.

Prove or Improve: Using James 2 in Evangelism

August 23, 2023 by Kathryn Wright in Grace in Focus Articles
By Kathryn Wright Of all the passages in the NT, James 2:14-26 is the one we most frequently encounter in an adversarial way when we proclaim the message of grace. Sadly, many have fallen prey to works-based salvation due to popular misapplications of these verses. Because of these misunderstandings, if you teach that eternal life
