Cât de des folosește Biblia cuvântul „nelegiuit” pentru a se referi la cei neregenerați?

Este destul de obișnuit ca evanghelicii să interpreteze expresia cei nelegiuiții ca o referire la cei nemântuiți. Să luăm în considerare următoarele versete ca exemple: Avraam s-a apropiat şi a zis: […]

Czy jesteś pewien życia wiecznego?

W 1 Liście do Tymoteusza 6:12 apostoł Paweł napisał: „Walcz w dobrych walkach wiary, uchwyć życie wieczne, do którego zostałeś powołany i które wyznałeś przed wieloma świadkami”. Tymoteusz, podobnie jak […]

Do you know a teaching candidate in your church

Most of our churches could use more teachers. Often, the members of a church consider teaching to be the responsibility of the pastor, deacons, and elders. But in at least […]

《圣经》中使用“恶人”一词来指代未得救之人有多频繁

福音派信徒通常将“恶人”一词理解为指未得救的人。以下经文可作为例证: 亚伯拉罕上前说:“你真的要把义人和恶人一同除灭吗?”(《创》18:23)。 上帝是公义的审判者,又是天天向恶人发怒的上帝(《诗》7:11)。 恶人都必归到阴间,忘记神的列国都必灭亡(《诗》9:17)。  恶人借贷却不偿还;义人恩待人,并且施舍(《诗》37:21)。 惟恶人要从地上剪除,奸诈人要被拔出(《箴》2:22)。 恶人的道路幽暗,他们不知道自己因什么跌倒(《箴》4:19)。 暴风一过,恶人归于无有;义人却有永久的根基(《箴》10:25)。 大多数福音派信徒会将这些经文中的大部分或全部理解为指未得救的人。但这样理解正确吗? 《圣经》中的“恶人”指的是那些背叛主的人。这包括重生的人和未重生的人。关键在于他们的行为,而非他们的信仰。像《诗》9:11等经文中,“地狱”指的是阴间,当时所有的死人——无论是得救的还是失丧的——都去到那里(参见《路》16:19-31)。诗人说恶人过早地死去(参见《诗》37:20, 38)。 很难找到明确用“恶人”指代未重生之人的经文。事实上,我只找到一处! 唯一的一处明确用“恶人”指代未重生之人的经文是《太》13:49-50: “世代的终结也要这样:天使要出来,把恶人从义人中分别出来,丢在火炉里,在那里要哀哭切齿了。” 当然,还有一个同义表达值得考虑:“……作恶的人……”将经历“……复活后被定罪”(《约》5:29)。解释这节经文的方式多种多样。尼梅拉(Niemelä)认为,主所说的是一种假设但不可能发生的情况(2022年秋季《恩典福音社【半年期刊】》)。这个观点很有前途。i 当你在《圣经》中看到“恶人”这个词时,指的是“那些行事悖逆上帝的人,无论是信徒还是非信徒”。只有在极少数情况下,它才指未得救的人。 我希望我们所有人都害怕自己会背离正道,过着邪恶的生活。我们仍将拥有永恒的生命。但我们在今生将承受上帝的审判,并且在基督审判台前,我们将不得不为自己在属灵“远方”逗留的时光交账。 仔细研读《圣经》,以便你能将恩典放在首位。 i 他指出,主的意思是,若有人从受孕到死亡都过着完美的生活——这是不可能的——那么他将参与义人的复活。凡未能达到此标准者,都将参与定罪的复活,除非,他们的名字在生命册上,因为他们因信耶稣而得永生。 若信徒过着邪恶的生活,他就是恶人吗?

Quante volte la Bibbia usa la parola “empio” per riferirsi ai non rigenerati?

È piuttosto comune che gli evangelici interpretino l’espressione gli empi come riferita ai non salvati. Considerate questi versetti come esempi: Abraamo gli si avvicinò e disse: «Farai dunque perire il […]
