What Are the Hebrew Scriptures?

September 8, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Tanakh, the Hebrew Scriptures
It is becoming increasingly popular in Evangelical circles to use the terms the Hebrew Scriptures or the Tanakh to refer to the thirty-nine books that are popularly called the Old Testament. This is because some Jewish people prefer that we call their Scripturesi the Hebrew Scriptures or the Tanakh. Calling those books the Old Testament

信心是可量化的吗?

September 8, 2023 by Ken Yates in 聚焦恩典 - 《马太福音》15:28, 《马太福音》8:10, 信心, 分别为圣, 基督徒的成长
我的一个朋友最近有一个很好的方式来描述信心。他说信心是一种状态。它不是可量化的。 我们通常不会用这样的词语来定义信心,但它们非常恰当。大多数人认为信心是可量化的;他们认为我们可以衡量我们相信某事的程度。例如,我们可能会说,“他的确相信这个”,或者,“你需要增长你的信心”,或者“他不太相信”。 我可以想到一些例子,我们在这些语言中表达了对信心的看法。一个人可能会为某事祷告,譬如一个新的工作。如果他没有得到那份工作,另一个人可能会说是因为他没有足够的信心。如果他能再多一点信心,上帝就会给他那份工作。 这种看法的一个悲剧性例子发生在人们去参加医治时。领导这些服务的江湖骗子告诉人们,如果他们的信心足够坚定,他们就会被医治。对于信心治愈师来说,这是多么方便。当医治没有生效时,不是治愈师的错。那是因为寻求治愈的人的信心量不足。 但信心并不是那样的。信心是确信某事是真实的。它是一种状态。你要么相信,要么不信它是真实的。当你相信某事时,我们可以说你处于一种确信的状态中。我确信乔治·华盛顿是我们的第一任总统。我不会在我相信他是总统方面有所成长。即使我获得了历史博士学位,我也没法更加地相信他是总统。 但《新约》中有一些提到“伟大”信心的地方。我们如何理解这样的经文(《马太福音》8:10;15:28)?在这些情况下,涉及的人相信一些新的事物。他们并没有在他们已经相信的事情上有所成长。新的事情是不同的。之所以描述为“伟大”,是因为额外的事情不是常人所相信的。 在信心出现的瞬间,不信者会相信耶稣,仅仅通过信心赐予永生作为免费的礼物而且永远不会失去。你不能变得更加相信这一点。你要么相信它,要么不相信。 但在相信了这一点之后,信徒可以在《新约》中找到许多耶稣所教导的其他事情。信徒越相信这些教导是真实的,他的信心就越大。例如,一个信徒可能会读到有关积攒在天上的财宝的教导,并因此将部分薪水奉献给白白恩典教会或事工。他确信耶稣所说的是真实的。另一个信徒不相信主所说的这些事情。他不相信在一个他看不见的国度里进行投资是明智的。那么第一个信徒有更大的信心,但不是因为他比第二个信徒更相信奖赏。因为第二个信徒根本不相信奖赏。第一个信徒之所以有更大的信心,是因为他相信第二个信徒不相信的东西。 应用很明显。我们不应该使用诸如“我真的相信吗?”或“他足够相信吗?”这样的短语。把信仰当作一个可量化的实体。相反,我们应该简单地问自己是否相信《圣经》所教导的事情。我们是否确信它们是真实的?当我们确信时,我们就有信心。我们相信的事情越多,就越可能在将来,主看者我们时,称我们有伟大的信心。

¿Si el arrepentimiento es una obra y somos salvos por la fe sin las obras…?

September 7, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita - Arrepentimiento es una obra, Justin Peters
Lindsey me envió un increíble video de YouTube. Justin Peters está siendo entrevistado por tres jóvenes calvinistas. Puedes ver el vídeo aquí. El video dura 28 minutos, pero el punto principal viene en los primeros cinco minutos. El título del vídeo es “Justin Peters Thought He Was Saved Until This Happened [Justin Peters pensaba que

Ludzie nieuczeni i prości (Dzieje Apostolskie 4:13)?

September 7, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Jedynie Wiara, czyli darmowa łaska w centrum uwagi
Gdy zobaczyli odwagę Piotra i Jana i zrozumieli, że są ludźmi nieuczonymi i prostymi, dziwili się. Rozpoznali również, że byli z Jezusem. (Dz. Apostolskie 4:13) Analfabetyzm był szeroko rozpowszechniony w pierwszym wieku. Ponad pięćdziesiąt procent Żydów i Nie-żydów w pierwszym wieku było analfabetami. Większość edukacji, jaką otrzymywali Żydzi w pierwszym wieku, odbywała się w synagogach,

Nobody Has Out-sinned the Grace of God 

September 7, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - 2 Chronicles 31, 2 Kings 21, Forgiveness, Grace, Manasseh, Mercy
Manasseh, one of the kings of Judah, was not a good man. He brought a great deal of grief upon his people. He ruled for 55 years and is described by the author of 2 Kings as the evilest king in the nation’s history (2 Kgs 21:1-16). When God gave the Jews the Promised Land,

Должно ли покаяние быть регулярной практикой христианина?

September 6, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Бесплатный дар благодати - Покаяние и исповедание, Покаяние и освящение
М.Е. задает отличный вопрос: Возможно, Вы уже объясняли это в прошлом, но я бы хотел знать, какую роль по Вашему мнению играет покаяние в жизни верующего? Не думаю, что оно является условием для спасения/оправдания, кроме случаев, когда человек считает покаяние отказом от мнимой самоправедности и актом доверия оконченной работе Христа на кресте. Но, разумеется, хотя

Cosa convince le persone della veridicità della Signoria della Salvezza?

September 6, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Grazia Gratuita - Sicurezza attraverso le opere, Signoria della Salvezza, Trasformazione
Ho ricevuto una lettera da un detenuto dal Texas di nome Eric, che si era convertito dall’Arminianesimo al Calvinismo. Ad un certo punto, Eric spiegava perché fosse convinto che la Signoria della Salvezza fosse vera: Quelli di noi che aderiscono alla Signoria della Salvezza si differenziano dalle persone che aderiscono alla Grazia Gratuita semplicemente per

Was the Tanakh Written to Believers?

September 6, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Interpreting the Old Testament
GES has a cadre of more than a dozen writers working on a commentary for the OT (the Tanakh). Last night, we had a Zoom meeting of all the authors plus the six editors. At one point, the question of the readership of the OT came up. Except for John’s Gospel, the NT is written

¿Debe ser el arrepentimiento una parte normal de la vida cristiana?

September 5, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita - Arrepentimiento y confesión, Arrepentimiento y santificación
I.E. hace una gran pregunta: Es posible que hayas abordado este tema en el pasado, pero, ¿cuál crees que es el papel del arrepentimiento en la vida del creyente? No creo que sea un requisito para la salvación/justificación, a menos que uno piense en ello como un cambio de la vana autosuficiencia a la confianza
