Dlaczego musimy trzymać się Ewangelii, aby być zbawionymi?

September 2, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Jedynie Wiara, czyli darmowa łaska w centrum uwagi - 1 Koryntian 15:1-2, Trzymanie się ewangelii
Przypominam wam, bracia, ewangelię, którą wam zwiastowałem, którą też przyjęliście i w której trwacie, i przez którą zbawieni jesteście, jeśli ją tylko zachowujecie tak, jak wam ją zwiastowałem, chyba że nadaremnie uwierzyliście (1 Koryntian 15:1-2, podkreślenie moje). Pisałem już wcześniej blogi na temat 1 Koryntian 15:1-2. Zobacz ten blog z sierpnia 2019 r. (link), który

Did You Know that Jesus Is the Exact Image of the Invisible God?

September 2, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Imago Dei, the invisible God
Many Christians are familiar with the phrase the image of God. Theologians use the Latin designation: Imago Dei. Humans were created in the image of God. Even though that image was marred by the fall of Adam and Eve, it was not destroyed. Humans today still bear the image of God. Paul was alluding to

你需要 “全心全意 ”相信耶稣才能得救吗?

September 2, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in 聚焦恩典 - 一心一意的信心, 全心全意地相信
二人正沿路往前走,到了有水的地方,太监说:“看哪!这里有水,有什么能阻止我受洗呢?” 腓利说:‘你若是一心相信,就可以。’他回答:‘我信耶稣基督是上帝的儿子。’(《使徒行传》8:36-37)。 今天,我读了一本小册子,其中它引用了《使徒行传》8:37 作为论据。在引用了这段话之后,作者写道:“救恩是全心全意的运动。这是一件充满激情的事。它不是三心二意的 ”i。 学过至少两年新约希腊文的人都知道,大多数手稿中都没有《使徒行传》8:37的内容。关键的文本和多数的文本都省略了这一段。只有少数希腊文手稿和一些译本(拉丁文、科普特文(Coptic)、格鲁吉亚文、斯拉夫文和埃塞俄比亚文)包含这一段。参见 CARM 的文章中分析的证据。公认文本(Textus Receptus)是首个希腊语新约。丹·华莱士(Dr. Dan Wallace)博士对公认文本的两分钟讨论,请参见此处(https://zondervanacademic.com/blog/textus-receptus)。伊拉斯谟使用了三到五个希腊文手稿,其中一些包含了《使徒行传》8:37。由于 (KJV)英王钦定本和新版英王钦经本(NKJV) 是基于 公认文本而不是多数文本(Majority text)或批判文本(Critical Text),因此它们包含了《使徒行传》8:37,但大多数英文译本都不包含。 多数文本(Majority text)的所有版本中都没有《使徒行传》8:37。 在引用了除《使徒行传》8:37 以外的所有内容后,F. F. Bruce 写道: 这是原文的记载。但在很早的时候(可能是在第二世纪),一位编辑认为这还不够。腓利肯定已经确信埃塞俄比亚人的信仰是真实的。(毫无疑问,腓利感到很满意的,但有些人却不愿让事情仅仅停留在猜测的层面上)。于是,腓利又加了几句话,试探这个人的信心….. (《使徒行传》,第 178 页)。 对照研究显示,整本《圣经》中唯一提到全心全意相信的经文是《使徒行传》8:37ii,而这节经文并非圣经iii。 “相信“一词在《约翰福音》中出现了 100 次,这是《圣经》中唯一一本传福音的书(《约翰福音》20:31)。主或使徒约翰没有一次对它加以修饰。他们从未说过全心全意的信心、真正的信心、真诚的信心,或是今天的传道人经常使用许多的修饰词。 许多人不相信除行为之外的唯独因信称义。但他们来自一个个口口声声说要这样做的传统。因此,他们对“信”的含义进行了修饰。因此,他们才会说以下这些都是永生的条件:转离罪恶、降服、委身、顺服和坚定不移。如果信心就是所有的这些事情,那么,除了行为之外,唯独因信称义就是因悔改、降服、委身、顺服和坚定不移的称义。 很难相信称义,只靠信心,不靠行为。对我来说确实如此,因为我成长在一个无罪完美的圣洁团体。对于今天大多数在福音派教会中成长起来的人来说也是同样困难。这与人们对正义的普遍看法不符。上帝怎么会无条件地赐予永生呢?一个人当然必须过敬虔的生活才能进入祂的国度。如果《圣经》的教导与我们理解的不同,那么《圣经》就必须符合我们对什么是正确的理解。 不,你不需要全心全意地相信耶稣才能获得永生。没有任何经文是这么说的。信心没有程度之分。要么你相信,要么你不信。加上 “全心全意 ”这样的修饰语会让人感到困惑。他们不知道自己的信心是否足够。 你全心全意地相信2+2=4吗?这意味着什么?你全心全意地相信耶稣生于伯利恒吗?祂为我们的罪死在十字架上?祂从死里复活了?没有人会问你是否全心全意地相信这些事情。 你要么相信,要么不相信。不要无谓地把永生的应许复杂化。主和祂的使徒们没有这样做。Sola fide,只凭信。 关注恩典。   i 大卫·W·克劳德,《救恩有区别吗(暂译Does Salvation Make a Difference?)》第19页,这本小册子主张主权救恩观。 ii 有两节经文提到 “在你的心里”相信(《罗》10:9)和 “心里”相信(《罗》10:10)。还有一节经文提到 “心里相信得迟钝”(《路》24:25),不过这节经文是针对迟疑不信耶稣从死里复活的信徒说的。心里信或用心信是指内心相信(与用口承认不同,这是外在的)。心并不是指字面意义上的心,而是指信仰发生的内在自我。在《新约》中,“心 ”和 “意念 ”可以互换使用(如《来》8:10;10:16;《雅》4:8)。

Избавление Иова

В одном из величайших отрывков о воскресении Иов провозглашает: А я знаю, Искупитель мой жив, и Он в последний день восставит из праха распадающуюся кожу мою сию, и я во плоти моей узрю Бога. Я узрю Его сам; мои глаза, не глаза другого, увидят Его. Истаевает сердце мое в груди моей! (Иов 19:25-27) Эти стихи,

Watch for His Soon Return: The Forgotten Commandment

September 1, 2024 by Bill Fiess in Grace in Focus Articles
By Bill Fiess Many examples show how failing to obey a general’s command led to ultimate defeat. In 1968, American troops in Vietnam were ordered to search for Viet Cong insurgents in the village of My Lai. However, some soldiers misinterpreted the command and engaged in a brutal massacre of unarmed civilians, including women, children,

Grace on the Sabbath for Jesus’ Disciples

September 1, 2024 by Ken Yates in Grace in Focus Articles
By Ken Yates Introduction In Luke 6:1-5, the Lord is involved in a controversy with the Pharisees. These religious leaders take exception to the disciples eating grain from a field on the Sabbath. It was okay to eat the grain, but the disciples were rubbing it with their hands. The Pharisees said rubbing involved work,

Voice from the Past: “Who Are You?” (John 1:19)

September 1, 2024 by Zane Hodges in Grace in Focus Articles
By Zane Hodgesi On one occasion, described in John 1:19-27, John the Baptist was visited by an important official delegation from the religious leadership of Jerusalem. Speculation had mounted that this Elijah-like prophet might be the Messiah Himself (cf. Luke 3:15). If ever there was a golden opportunity for John to “blow his own horn,”

God Didn’t Change the Patriarch’s Names to Show They Were Regenerate

September 1, 2024 by Kathryn Wright in Grace in Focus Articles
Introduction In a recent podcast, I heard a preacher say that Saul of Tarsus’ name was changed to Paul after his conversion. He went on to describe the miracle of transformation that occurred in Paul’s life. Because of this supposed transformation, the Lord gave the apostle a new name. The preacher associated salvation with a

The Importance of Patiently Waiting for His Blessings!

September 1, 2024 by Brad Doskocil in Grace in Focus Articles
By Brad Doskocil The Bible has a lot to say about the importance of a virtue called patience. The words patient and patiently occur fourteen times in twelve verses in the Bible. We are to “wait patiently for Him” (Ps 37:7; 40:1; Eccles 7:8). We are to be “patient in tribulation” (Rom 12:12; cf. Heb

Life in John’s Gospel

September 1, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Grace in Focus Articles
By Bob Wilkin It is well known that the expressions everlasting life and eternal life occur often in John’s Gospel. In the NKJV and KJV translations, everlasting life occurs eight times and eternal life nine times. But in all seventeen places, the Greek it translates is the same: zōēn aiōnion. The NASB, NET, HCSB, ESV,
