¿Qué significa ser apto para el Reino de Dios? Lucas 9:62

January 2, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita - Apto para el Reino, Lucas 9:61-62
Esta pregunta surgió ayer en mi clase de escuela dominical. Es una pregunta excelente. Un hombre se acercó a Jesús y dijo: “Te seguiré, Señor; pero déjame que me despida primero de los que están en mi casa” (Lucas 9:61). El Señor le respondió: “Ninguno que poniendo su mano en el arado mira hacia atrás,

Ano ba ang ibig sabihin ng karapatdapat para sa kaharian ng Diyos? (Lukas 9:62)

January 2, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya
Tinanong ang tanong na ito sa aking Sunday school class kahapon. Ito ay isang napakagandang tanong. Isang lalaki ang lumapit kay Jesus at nagsabi, “Susunod ako sa Iyo, Panginoon, datapuwa’t pabayaan Mo akong magpaalam muna sa mga kasangbahay ko” (Lukas 9:61). Tumugon ang Panginoon, “Datapuwa’t sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, ‘Walang taong pagkahawak sa araro,

January 2, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - 2 Tim 3:16, John 6:68, John 7:46, Luke 2:41-48, Mark 6:2, teaching, wisdom
Many years ago, I saw the movie Good Will Hunting. It’s a story about a young mathematical genius. My favorite part of the movie is how the experts are amazed at his intelligence. The movie starts with the young man as a janitor at MIT. The faculty at the school put two complex math problems

Che cosa significa essere adatti per il Regno di Dio? (Luca 9:62)

January 1, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Grazia Gratuita - Adatto al regno, Luca 9:61-62
Questa domanda è stata posta ieri durante la Scuola Domenicale. È una domanda eccellente. Un uomo venne da Gesù e gli disse: «Ti seguirò, Signore, ma lasciami prima salutare quelli di casa mia». (Luca 9:61). Il Signore rispose: «Nessuno che abbia messo la mano all’aratro e poi volga lo sguardo indietro è adatto per il

And 43% give up on their resolutions within the first month. Here are the most common resolutions for 2023 according to Forbes Health (see here): improvement of mental health (45%), improved fitness

永生安全的人今生会被神咒诅吗?

January 1, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in 聚焦恩典 - 祝福和咒诅
大卫在观看了我最近在 YouTube 上关于信心加行为的救恩视频后,提出了这个很好的问题: 如果一个人只因信基督而得救,后来又陷入行为,那么他仍然得救,只是从恩典中堕落了[加 5:4]。然而保罗说,如果一个人转而用信心加行为来获得救赎,“就让他受咒诅吧”[加 1:8-9]。一个人怎么能既得救又受咒诅呢?我需要一些澄清!谢谢,上帝祝福。 他的问题反映了当今福音派的普遍看法,即神对悖逆祂的人所应许的几乎所有负面后果都是指永恒的定罪。大卫似乎认为《加拉太书》 1:8-9 中被神诅咒指的是被永远定罪。但事实并非如此。 加 1:8-9 中的命令 “让他受咒诅”并不意味着 “让他下地狱”,尽管有一种译法将其翻译为 “愿他受诅咒(May he be damned)”(Phillips),还有一种译法将其翻译为 “让他下地狱(Let him be condemned to hell)”(NET)。i。 希腊文只是说,任何人—包括保罗或未堕落的天使—如果传讲虚假的福音,都应被信徒视为受到上帝的诅咒(anathema)。无论是保罗还是未堕落的天使,都不会被永远定罪。但他们可能在今生受到诅咒。 问题的关键在于,加拉太的教会不应该听信这些假教师的话。ii他们应该远离他们,就像远离得了致命瘟疫的人一样。他们不应该给他们钱,也不应该为他们的事工祈求神的祝福。 在《加拉太书》第 2 章中,保罗指出,彼得和巴拿巴这两位使徒在一次主的晚餐聚会上退避外邦人时,“没有直言福音的真理”(加 2:11-21)。从本质上讲,彼得和巴拿巴在那次会议上即将受到上帝的诅咒。当然,他们在保罗的纠正下悔改了。但问题不在于他们永恒的命运。而是他们今生的幸福(well-being)。 浪子的比喻(《路加福音》 15:11-32)告诉我们,重生的人可能会经历上帝的暂时审判,导致他经历饥荒和匮乏,缺乏每天足够的食物。 《箴言》、《诗篇》、《登山宝训》和《雅各书》等智慧文学章节都教导我们,教导邪恶是死亡之路,教导公义是生命之路。正直生活的人会得到祝福,不正直的人会受到诅咒。信徒也是如此。我们不能幸免于上帝的暂时审判。 当亚伦和米利暗悖逆摩西时,米利暗受到了大麻风的诅咒(民 12:1-15)。这是一个重生的人受到上帝的诅咒。 神以祂的恩典在一周后除去了米利暗的大麻风。 另一位信徒,以利沙的仆人基哈西,在向叙利亚统领乃缦撒谎并得到了两他连得银子和两件衣服后,终生受到大麻风的诅咒(列王记下 5:22-27)。 阅读《利未记》第 26 章和《申命记》第 27-28 章。这两章详细介绍了应许给以色列的国家祝福和咒诅:顺从则得福,不顺从则受诅咒。这就是所谓的祝福和诅咒主题(blessing and cursing motif)。这个主题从创世纪一直贯穿到启示录。 问得好,大卫。 __________ i 语态上翻译为 “愿(他们)永远受咒诅“。 ii “愿他受咒诅”是对加拉太信徒(推而广之,所有信徒)的命令。保罗告诉信徒们要与那些教导虚假福音的人分开。远离。不要听。不要支持。对待他们就像对待放射性物质一样。

What Is Free Grace?

January 1, 2024 by Ken Yates in Grace in Focus Articles
By Ken Yates Introduction In any field of thought, the people involved develop a specific vocabulary. They often forget that most people are unfamiliar with this vocabulary. For example, if I find myself in a group of auto mechanics, I quickly realize that I don’t know what many of their words mean. They may talk

Was Zane Hodges’ View of the Gospel “Misguided, Anemic, Inconsistent, and Evasive”?

January 1, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Grace in Focus Articles
By Bob Wilkin A 2019 doctoral paper by Nicholas James Claxton (available online)1 is entitled “Faith Without Works: The Gospel According to Zane Hodges.” Claxton’s paper is irenic in tone. In his conclusion, he raises seven objections to the views and exegetical method of Hodges. I’ll briefly answer those objections in this article. His seven

Ignorance Is Bliss, Luke 9:57

January 1, 2024 by Ken Yates in Grace in Focus Articles
By Ken Yates Introduction I am a guy who likes creature comforts. I like indoor plumbing, a nice hot meal for supper, and a comfortable bed. Two or three pillows are pretty much a necessity as well. When I joined the Army, I had to make a few sacrifices regarding these comforts when I trained
