Possiamo meritare l’amore di Dio?

November 2, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Grazia Gratuita - Apocalisse 3:9-10, Dio maledice la disobbedienza, Il Signore Benedice l’Obbedienza
Doug ci ha fatto questa domanda: Ho appena ascoltato un tuo podcast del 2 Agosto 2022, riguardante la lettera alla chiesa di Filadelfia. Hai menzionato il suggerimento di John Niemelä che Apocalisse 3:9 dovrebbe finire con una virgola invece che con un punto: “Ecco, ti do alcuni della sinagoga di Satana… io li farò venire

Climate Change and Christianity, Part 3: How Climate-Change Ideology Is Incompatible with Biblical Christianity

November 2, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Ways the climate-change movement is inconsistent with Christianity
Many climate-change prophets say that life on Earth will end in the next ten to twenty years unless drastic measures are taken. In January of 2019, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that “the world will end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change” (see here). In January of 2020, at the World Economic Forum,

当坏消息是好的时(耶30-33)

November 2, 2022 by Ken Yates in 聚焦恩典 - 安慰, 希12:7, 纪律, 耶利米
当你读《耶利米书》的注释书时,第30-33章通常被称为《安慰书》。这是因为这些章节对犹太人来说包含了真正的好消息。他们谈论基督何时会回来,建立祂的王国,给他们一个新约,并将他们从世界上所有的国家聚集起来。这一切都将在最后的日子里发生。上帝将履行祂对亚伯拉罕,以撒和雅各的所有承诺。多么辉煌的未来在等待着他们。 这四章与前面的章节以及后面的章节形成了鲜明的对比。在第2-29章,耶利米告诉人们,神对他们的罪感到愤怒。他们的罪真的很严重。因此,祂会惩罚他们。他们要被掳去。巴比伦人必把他们的城市烧为平地。圣殿将被摧毁。他们将在巴比伦七十年。 在《安慰书》之后,坏消息还在继续。从《耶利米书》第34章开始,巴比伦人就在耶路撒冷的门口。上帝告诉人们,死者将堆积在她的墙内。如果他们心存任何希望拯救自己的国家,那就不用想了。没有人会来帮助他们。事实上,上帝自己也在与他们征战。 许多人这样看待《耶利米书》。有很多坏消息。然后是几章真正的好消息。然后,坏消息再次给出。当然,那些经历艰难时期的人,如果他们这样想,是可以理解的。 但我想建议一个完全激进的方法来看待这些糟糕的章节。即使是糟糕的章节也是好的。以色列国犯了大罪。他们抛弃了上帝,甚至把自己的孩子献给了偶像。他们的其他罪行也在增加。上帝要为这些事惩罚他们。 但这是好事。 如果上帝什么都不做,会发生什么?他们会陷入怎样的堕落?哪个好父亲会允许他的孩子那样做,而自己却什么都不做?耶利米说得很清楚,犹太人不会听。他们决心继续这样生活下去。上帝必须纠正祂任性的子民。祂必须引起他们的注意。这就是为什么所有那些“坏事”都发生在他们身上。 神所做的事是多么慈爱啊!他们作为俘虏去了巴比伦,但这是让他们远离罪恶的唯一方法。在巴比伦,他们放弃了他们的偶像。《以斯拉记》告诉我们,人们带着完全不同的态度回来了。 耶利米书中“坏”的章节是神对他的子民的恩典的展示。假先知告诉他们要对抗巴比伦人,但耶和华差遣耶利米告诉他们,他们应该服从巴比伦人。上帝派巴比伦人来教导他们需要知道的事情。主要他们吸取教训,不听假先知的话(耶27:1-9)。 假先知也告诉犹太人不要生孩子。上帝要宽恕他们了,巴比伦人很快就会离开。再一次,上帝派耶利米去告诉祂正在管教的犹大人,他们应该生孩子。主不想让他们错过这些祝福,即使祂因为他们的罪在惩罚他们(耶29:1-7)。 所有这些的重点是,即使神严厉地对待祂的子民,祂也是出于对他们的怜悯和爱。祂想教导他们属灵的课程,但祂这样做是出于对他们的关心。祂想给他们最好的。 今天的基督徒也是如此。当我们被判有罪,或者当我们因自己的决定而遭受恶果时,神正在教导我们。这些都不是坏事。神这样的管教,是与我们有益的(来12:7)。我们应该感到高兴,因为上帝不允许我们继续走我们所选择的毁灭之路。 耶利米被称为流泪的先知,因为他必须把所有的坏消息告诉他的人民。我想开创一个新的说法。他的整本书(第1-52章)都应该被称为《安慰书》。

Biblijne rozróżnienie między „wiecznym zbawieniem” a „wieczną nagrodą”: Klucz do właściwej egzegezy

November 1, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Jedynie Wiara, czyli darmowa łaska w centrum uwagi
I. Wstęp Ostatnio ukazało się wiele książek, które próbują zharmonizować dwa tematy Nowego Testamentu: sąd według uczynków i usprawiedliwienie poprzez wiarę. Czasami trudno jest zrozumieć podawane wyjaśnienia. Niektórzy autorzy wydają się uważać, że usprawiedliwienie jest przez wiarę bez uczynków, a mimo to ostateczne zbawienie jest przez wiarę i uczynki. Na przykład Judith Gundry Volf pisze:

Kapag Ang Mabuting Balita Ay Mabuti (Jeremias 30-33)

November 1, 2022 by Ken Yates in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya
Kapag nagbabasa ka ng mga komentaryo sa aklat ni Jeremias, ang mga kabanata 30-33 ay madalas tawaging Aklat ng Kaaliwan. Ito ay dahil sa ang mga kabanatang ito ay naglalaman ng mabuting balita para sa mga Judio. Nag-usap sila tungkol sa kung kailang babalik si Cristo, magtatatag ng kaharian, magbibigay sa kanila ng bagong tipan,

A Ray of Light in the Selective Service? (Romans 1:21) 

November 1, 2022 by Ken Yates in Blog - Creation, Darkness, depravity, hypocrisy, Romans 1
In Romans 1, Paul discusses the spiritual darkness that descends upon people when they reject what is right before their eyes. Much of the discussion deals with Creation and the created order. Creation itself shouts out that there is a Creator and that there are established sexual boundaries. Throughout history, however, mankind has denied these

Zwei Gründe, warum Menschen die ewige Sicherheit ablehnen

October 31, 2022 by Shawn Lazar in Freie Gnade im Brennpunkt
Kinder gedeihen am besten, wenn sie in einem stabilen, liebevollen Zuhause leben. Gleichermaßen gedeihen Gläubige am besten, wenn sie wissen, dass ihre Beziehung zu Gott stabil und liebevoll ist. Das Wissen, dass wir durch den Glauben an Christus ewiges Leben haben und niemals mehr von Gott getrennt werden (können) (d.h. einmal gerettet, immer gerettet), motiviert

Dio garantisce di portare il vangelo a tutti quelli che desiderano conoscerlo?

October 31, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Grazia Gratuita - Atti 16:9, Atti 17:27, Quelli che non hanno mai sentito parlare di Cristo, Romani 1:20
Bill ha letto recentemente un mio articolo sulla scienza di mezzo e il fato di coloro che non hanno mai ascoltato (vedi qui). Ha poi fatto questa eccellente domanda; Alcune persone pensano che se diventano coscienti di Dio e hanno il desiderio di conoscerLo, allora Dio provvederà per loro una “presentazione chiara del Vangelo”. Ho

Climate Change and Christianity, Part 2: How Climate-Change Ideology Is Compatible with Biblical Christianity 

October 31, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - The compatibility of Christianity and the climate change movement
Part of God’s creation mandate to mankind is that we are to have dominion over the earth: “Then God blessed them, and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing

Wzbudzony z martwych aby biec – List do Filipian 3:11

October 30, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Jedynie Wiara, czyli darmowa łaska w centrum uwagi
10Żeby poznać jego i moc jego zmartwychwstania [ἀνάστασις, anastasis] oraz swój udział w jego cierpieniach, upodabniając się do jego śmierci; 11Abym jakimkolwiek sposobem dostąpił powstania z martwych [ἐξανάστασις, exanastasis].12 Nie żebym to już osiągnął albo już był doskonały, ale dążę, aby pochwycić to, do czego też zostałem pochwycony przez Chrystusa Jezusa. 13 Bracia, ja o
