Strength in Numbers? (Numbers 14:1-4) 

March 28, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - Kadesh, majority, Matthew 7:13-14, minority
A good friend, Bill Fiess, recently pointed out a small detail that makes a big statement in the account of Kadesh Barnea in the Book of Numbers. A short review of what happened there will help us understand the importance of what Bill saw in the text. The Nation of Israel was encamped at Kadesh,

La fede senza le opere è morta – Giacomo 2:14-17

March 27, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Grazia Gratuita
“A che serve, fratelli miei, se uno dice di avere fede ma non ha opere? Può la fede salvarlo? Se un fratello o una sorella non hanno vestiti e mancano del cibo quotidiano, e uno di voi dice loro: «Andate in pace, scaldatevi e saziatevi», ma non date loro le cose necessarie al corpo, a

Didn’t the Lord Jesus Believe in the New Believers of John 2:23? Part 1 

March 27, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - John 2:23-25, miracle faith, spurious believers
Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did. But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men, and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man

你有永生的盼望吗?

March 27, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in 聚焦恩典 - 《提多书》3:7, 永生的盼望
“……保罗, ……根据永生的盼望,这永生就是没有谎言的,神在亘古以前所应许的。到了适当的时候,神就藉着福音的宣讲,把祂的道显明出来。照着神我们救主的命令,把这宣讲的使命交托了我。”(《多》1:1-3) “……使我们既然因着祂的恩典得称为义,就可以凭着永生的盼望成为后嗣。”(《多》3:7)。 当保罗所说 “永生的盼望”是什么意思?这种表述在《圣经》中只出现过两个地方。 不过,还有一个相关的表述 “救恩的盼望”。它出现在《帖前》 5:8 中。 本篇博客将讨论永生的盼望。我将在第二篇博客中讨论救恩的盼望。 如果不加解释,永生的盼望会让人感到困惑,因为在英语中,盼望一词指的是一种渴望,而不是一个确定的事。因此,许多人认为保罗是在说我们渴望永生,但不知道我们是否拥有永生。 在希腊文中,“盼望”(elpis)有时指一种渴望。保罗说:“我希望立刻差他(提摩太)去”(《腓》2:23),“我希望不久可以到你那里去”(《提前》3:14)。然而,这并不是 elpis 最常见的含义。 在新约中,盼望(elpis)通常指确定的事情,但实现的时间是未知的。基督是 “荣耀的盼望”(西 1:27)。我们终有一天会得荣耀,但是被提的时间是未知的。 “我们的盼望主耶稣基督”(《提前》1:1)。也就是说,我们知道祂会回来建立祂的国度,但我们不知道是什么时候。 我们 “等候那有福的盼望,就是我们伟大恩典神,救主耶稣基督荣耀的显现。”(《多》2:13)。奈特(Knight)评论道 :“保罗经常使用ʻ盼望ʼ这个概念,就是基督徒对看不见的、确定的、但尚未实现的、将来在基督里所拥有的属灵祝福的期待。”(《教牧书信》,第 321 页,着重部分由作者标明)。这里的 “有福的盼望”和“荣耀的显现”是一样的。我们确定无疑的期望是基督很快就会在荣耀中再临(《太》16:27)。 我在《恩典新约注释》中对《提多书》 3:7 进行了评论: 圣灵更新工作的目的是成为后嗣,在来生与基督一同掌权。之所以能够做到这一点,是因为有永生的盼望,即在公义的国度中以荣耀的身体永生,这永生是确实的,是将来的真理。虽然信徒拥有永生是现在的事,但从另一种意义上说,永生是未来的事。借着圣灵丰富的供应,信徒拥有了在来生与基督同作后嗣所需的一切(参《罗》 8:17;《彼后》1:3)(“《提多书》”,第 1021 页)。 我们已经拥有永生(《约》3:16;6:47;《弗》2:5)。然而,永生有可能带来巨大的富足(《约》10:10)。所有信徒在得荣耀时都会有更丰盛的永生经历。那些与基督一同掌权的人将会有超凡的生命体验。 当我在 CCC 任职时,我们曾就《约翰一书》 5:13 说过:“我们有一种ʻ知道如此ʼ的信心,而不是ʻ希望如此ʼ的信心。”。就我们对我们永恒命运的确信而言,这句话是对的。但在某种意义上,我们确实有一种ʻ希望如此ʼ的信心。我们不知道基督何时再来赐给我们荣耀的身体。我们确信知道祂很快就会荣耀我们,这应该激励我们打那美好的仗,以便我们被拣选与祂一同掌权(《提后》4:6-8)。 Onthreee.i __________ i 你明白雷布斯的谜题了吗?再看一遍,字中有字。你看到了吗?答案就在这里: Onthreee = 三合一 = 三位一体。上帝是三个位格,但却是一个存在。我想这对于我们有限的思维来说,即使不是不可能,也是很难理解的,但这是事实。这应该让我们赞美上帝。

Lessons from a Penitentiary 

March 26, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - 2 Tim 4:8, Bema, Judgment
I like to study history. Recently, I had the opportunity to study it at a unique place: the old State Penitentiary of Idaho. It housed prisoners from the closing years of the 19th century until around 1970. When it executed people, it did so through hanging. As you might expect, there were various photos of

Do You Know What a Biblical Type Is? 

March 25, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Biblical typology
When people go to Bible college or seminary, they learn the meaning of words that the general public often doesn’t know. When taking Biblical Greek, my classmates and I commented that we learned English grammar while we were learning Greek grammar. The word type is well-known to theologians. Merriam-Webster says that one meaning of type

你有得救的盼望吗?

March 25, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in 聚焦恩典 - 《提多书》3:7, 永生的盼望
“但既然我们属于白昼,就应当谨慎,把信和爱当作护心镜遮胸,把得救的盼望当作头盔戴上。因为上帝不是预定我们受惩罚,而是预定我们藉着我们的主耶稣基督得救。他替我们死,让我们无论醒着、睡着,都与他同活。”(《帖撒罗尼迦前书》5:8-10) 得当保罗谈到得救的盼望时,他是什么意思?这种表述只在《圣经》这里中出现过。 得救的盼望这一表述会让人感到困惑,因为盼望一词在英语中指的是一种渴望,而不是确定的事。因此,许多人认为保罗是在说,我们渴望从永恒的责罚中得救,但我们不知道我们是否拥能得救。 许多牧师教导说,这就是保罗在《帖前》 5:8 中的意思。 但这根本不是保罗的意思。在这节经文中,他用盼望和得救这两个词来表达不同的意思。 希腊文中的盼望(elpis)有时指的是一种不确定能否实现的愿望(《腓》 2:23;《提前》 3:14)。 在新约中,“盼望”(elpis)通常指确定的事情,但实现的时间却是未知的(《西》 1:27;《提前》1:1;《多》 2:13)。 在《帖撒罗尼迦前书》中,保罗一直在谈论被提。每一章的结尾都有提到(《帖前》1:10;2:19;3:13;4:13-18;5:23)。在整个《帖前》和《帖后》中,保罗用得救(save)(《帖前》2:16;《帖后》2:10)和得救(salvation)(《帖前》 5:8、9;《帖后》 2:13)来指从大灾难的忿怒中解救出来。 《帖前》 5:8 中的得救的盼望是指基督很快就会再来,并通过被提把我们带到祂那里,但时间是未知的。它可能发生在今年,也可能是很多年、几十年或几百年后。祂会把我们从大灾难的愤怒中拯救出来,我们不会经历那可怕的时刻,这是我们的头盔。它会让我们的大脑保持完好无损,尽管撒旦向我们投掷了各种各样的机弦和弓箭。 Chrweist.ii __________ i 更多详情,请参阅《恩典新约注释》中对这些经文的讨论。 ii 你明白这个雷布斯谜题吗?我们在基督里。
