What Are Three Spectacular Messianic Prophecies? 

March 19, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Genesis 3:15, Isaiah 52:13–53:12, Psalm 22:14-18
The Lord Jesus said that the OT Scriptures “testify of Me” (John 5:39). Hundreds of OT prophecies were fulfilled in Jesus’ first coming. But what are some of the most amazing prophetic passages? This blog is based on one of the answers in the teacher’s guide for my Bible study on the Gospel of John.

Avete la speranza della salvezza?

March 18, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Grazia Gratuita - 1Te 5:8-10, La speranza della salvezza
“Ma noi, che siamo del giorno, siamo sobri, avendo rivestito la corazza della fede e dell’amore e preso per elmo la speranza della salvezza. Dio infatti non ci ha destinati a ira, ma ad ottenere salvezza per mezzo del nostro Signore Gesù Cristo, il quale è morto per noi affinché, sia che vegliamo sia che

A Reminder (Psalm 103:15-16) 

March 18, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - Death, eternal life, Ps 103:15-16
Meach and Jake. For many years those two names would bring a smile to my face. I attended a military academy and had a number of different roommates. Meach and Jake were two of them. These were not their real names, but nicknames. Formal proper names didn’t fare well in that environment, and they surely

谁更悲惨?(《哥林多前书》15:19)

March 18, 2024 by Ken Yates in 聚焦恩典 - 《哥林多前书》15:12-19, 奖赏, 教义, 顺服
在《林前》15:19,保罗说了一句让我困惑多年的话。也许我还在困惑,但我想我现在知道保罗的意思了。你可以自己判断一下! 保罗说,如果基督没有从死里复活,“我们是众人中最可怜的”。有些译本使用了“悲惨 ”一词。多年来,我一直认为保罗是在说,如果基督没有从死里复活,那么基督教就是一个谎言。如果真是这样,那么基督徒就是世界上最可怜的人。 我一直以为这是因为基督徒都期待生活在一个永恒的国度里。但是如果基督没有从死里复活,那么我们的希望就是枉然。我们以为我们会去天堂,但今生就是我们的全部。我们是可怜的人,因为我们会失望。如果能知道死后什么都没有的事实,那就更好了。不信的人更好,因为他对死后将要发生的事情没有任何期待。 但这是真的吗?如果没有天国,没有复活,那么信徒和非信徒死后不就一模一样了吗?两者都进入了不存在的状态。如果基督徒认为他会有永生,那又有什么区别呢?他不会知道自己被愚弄了。事实上,我们可以说,基督徒的信仰即使是错误的也会在今生带来一些喜乐,因为信徒都期待着那一天的到来。教会还可以提供一种社区感,或者是一个结识新朋友的地方。很多很多的人都是在教会里认识自己的配偶的。 即使这一切都是谎言,我们会说自己比一个非信徒更悲惨吗?举个例子,一个不信的人说这个世界就是他的全部。他可能会沉迷于毒品或从事其他有害的活动,年纪轻轻就死去。如果一个信徒避开这些事情,过着健康长寿的生活,那他会比那人更痛苦吗?即使在另一边没有天国。 然而,在更基本的层面上,我认为如果没有天国,那么我们信或不信都无关紧要。我们都在同一条船上。我活 100 年还是 20 年又有什么区别呢?从永恒的角度来看,如果我们没有复活,那么不信的人和信的人的生命都不足十亿分之一秒。 我想,我之所以对保罗的话有意见,是因为我没有充分认识到《哥林多前书》第 15 章并不是论述一个人如何 “上天堂”的一章。而这一章论述的是未来天国中的奖赏。保罗想说的是,对于像他一样为了在基督台前的审判中得到主的认可而活着的人来说,如果我们的身体不复活,他们的一切工作都是枉然的。哥林多有些人相信有一个即将到来的国度,但却不相信复活(第 12 节)。认为一个信徒在今生做出了牺牲,他相信自己会因为这些牺牲而得到奖赏,他就是上当了。如果没有复活,我们的好行为、为主受苦和牺牲都是愚蠢的。只有身体复活了,信徒才能因为用这身体所做的事而得到奖赏。 这就像两个人继承了十万美元。一个人很快就把钱花光了,随心所欲地享乐。而另一个人则把钱投资在养老上。如果投资的钱丢失或被盗,第二个人还不如在最好的时机把钱花掉。 许多基督徒不相信奖赏。如果是这样的话,顺服的信徒就是个笨蛋。他应该吃喝玩乐,投资于一个没有回报的世界,这是愚蠢的。看看一个想取悦主的信徒。如果没有身体的复活,他就会被人嘲笑。我们可能会说他是一个值得同情的人。但值得庆幸的是,情况并非如此。

Что такое надежда на праведность от веры?

March 16, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Бесплатный дар благодати - Галатам 5:5, Праведность от веры
“а мы духом ожидаем и надеемся праведности от веры.” (Гал 5:5) Я писал о похожих выражениях Павла (надежде на вечную жизнь и надежде на спасение) в недавних выпусках нашего блога. А как на счёт надежды на праведность от веры? Это странное выражение. Оно звучит как-то неправильно, непохоже на стиль Павла. Я написал комментарий к Посланию

Will There Be Women in Heaven? 

March 15, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Glorification, Glorified Bodies
J. V. asks a very interesting question: I read something the other day by a supposed Christian author that upset me. This author said that in heaven, there will be no women, but that God will turn all females into males. He bases that on the passage that says we will be like the angels

Кто несчастнее всех человеков? (1 Коринфянам 15:19)

March 14, 2024 by Ken Yates in Бесплатный дар благодати - 1 Кор 15:12-19, Доктрина, Награды, Послушание
В 1 Кор 15:19 Павел говорит фразу, с пониманием которой у меня были трудности в течение многих лет. Возможно, мне всё ещё трудно, но думаю, я знаю, что Павел имеет ввиду. Посудите сами. Павел утверждает, что если Христос не воскрес из мертвых, “мы несчастнее всех человеков.”. Некоторые переводы используют слово “ничтожнее”. В течение многих лет

¿Qué es la esperanza de la justicia por la fe?

March 14, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita - Esperanza de justicia, Gálatas 5:5
“Pues nosotros por el Espíritu aguardamos por fe la esperanza de la justicia” (Gal 5:5). He escrito sobre expresiones paulinas similares —la esperanza de la vida eterna y la esperanza de la salvación— en blogs recientes. ¿Y la esperanza de la justicia por la fe? Es una expresión extraña. No suena bien. No suena como

Paano Natin Nalalaman Na Walang Kaligtasan Para Sa Mga Nahulog Na Anghel?

March 14, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya
Gal 5:5 Sapagka’t tayo sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu sa pananampalataya ay naghihintay ng pangako ng katuwiran. May sinulat na ako tungkol sa mga kaparehong ekspresyon- ang pag-asa ng buhay na walang hanggan at ang pag-asa ng kaligtasan– sa mga nakaraang blog. Ngunit paano ang pangako o pag-asa ng katuwiran? Ito ay kakatwang ekspresyon. Tila hindi
