Bira li Bog ljude koji će se spasiti?

December 18, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Milost u Fokusu
Prema kalvinistima, izraz izabrani jedan je od najvažnijih u Bibliji, iako se u Novom zavjetu pojavljuje samo sedam puta (Matej 24:24; Marko 13:22; Rimljanima 11:7; Kološanima 3:12; 1. Timoteju 5:21; 2. Timoteju 2:10; 2. Ivanova 1). Bez određenog člana, riječi izabrani ili izbor pojavljuju se još šesnaest puta u Novom zavjetu. Međutim, i druge riječi

Why Doesn’t God Make It Easy to Be Saved? 

December 18, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 1 Timothy 2:4, Hard to believe
God our Savior…desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Tim 2:3b-4). Hunter asks two excellent questions: If God wants everyone to be saved, why wouldn’t He make it extremely easy to believe in Him? Why doesn’t He reveal Himself more so that people can see Him

上帝会选择谁来获得救恩吗?

December 18, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in 聚焦恩典 - 《帖撒罗尼迦后书》2:13, 加尔文主义和拣选
加尔文主义者认为,“选民 ”是《圣经》中最重要的表述之一,尽管它在《新约》中仅出现过7次(《太》24:24;《可》13:22;《罗》11:7;《西》3:12;《提前》5:21;《提后》2:10;《约贰》1章)。在没有定冠词的情况下,“挑选 ”或 “选出 ”在《新约》中还出现过 16 次。 然而,其他词语也表达了“选出”或“拣选”的意思。在《新约》中,“选择 ”或 “被拣选 ”出现了37次。 这些希腊词语是:eklego(我选择或我挑选)、eklektos(挑选)、ekloge(选出)、proorizo(我预定)、haireo(我选择)、tasso(我指定、放置)和horizo(我指定、决定)。 著名的加尔文主义者山姆·斯托默斯(Sam Storms)在网上发表了一篇文章,题为 “关于选出的圣经术语”。参见此处here。这7个词在《新约》中出现了76次。 斯托默斯说,大多数在《新约》中提到的选出或选择都与他所说的被拣选得永生无关。根据他自己的统计,在76次提及中,只有36次提到了被拣选得永生。这个数还连一半都不到。 今天,为了准备我的主日学课程,我评估了斯托默斯提及的关于被拣选得永生的所有36处参考文献。 我逐一进行了分析。 我将向你们介绍我研究的 “克里夫笔记(Cliff Notes ) ”版本。 在他的36处引用中,有9处出现在对观福音书中,指的是以色列——上帝的选民(《太》22:14;24:22、24、31;《可》13:20(两次)、22、27;《路》18:7)。这些都与个人或群体被拣选得永生无关。 这样就减少到27个可能的引用。 其中3个例子出现在《使徒行传》中,一个提到以色列(《徒》13:17),一个提到保罗是上帝所拣选的器皿(《徒》9:15),还有一个根本没有提到拣选(《徒》13:48)。 现在76处中只剩下24处。 加尔文主义者引用了如此薄弱的证据,这对他们的论点很不利。 我将跳过加尔文主义者引用的最具决定性的经文i。 彼得的书信中有2次使用:《彼前》1:1和《彼后》1:10。 实际上,“拣选 ”一词出现在《彼前》1:2 中,而不是在第 1 节的 “寄居者 ”一词之前。译者出于某种奇怪的原因,将它去除了。彼得是写给“被拣选的寄居者”的。也就是说,他们是被选中从自己的家乡流散出来的。 《彼得后书》1:10 指的是被呼召和拣选,“以丰盛得以进入国度”(《彼后》1:11)。 《彼前》1:2 和《彼后》1:10 都不是指被拣选得永生。 《帖前》1:4 的引用含糊不清:“上帝所爱的弟兄啊,我知道你们是蒙拣选的。”拣选什么?我在《恩典新约注释》中写道:“保罗可能只是说他知道他们被上帝拣选,在帖撒罗尼迦城高举耶稣的名。然而,如果考虑到上下文,保罗似乎特意在说他们被拣选为基督受苦。见第 5-10 节及其中的讨论“(《帖前》,第 931 页)。 菲(Fee)认为,这是指他所说的事后的集体拣选,使所有相信耶稣的人都成为教会(即信徒团体)的一部分:“值得注意的是,在这个例子中,保罗认为帖撒罗尼迦的全体信徒都是蒙拣选的,而不是个别的信徒……此外,对保罗来说,“蒙拣选”总是指信徒,因此反映的是事后的事实,而不是事前的事实;在这里,它总是被视为上帝爱的行动,因此它成为信仰团体生活中的一股动力。”(《帖撒罗尼迦前后书》,第 31 页,斜体后加)。 76节经文中最有力的可能是《帖后》2:13。这是《新约》中唯一一节说上帝拣选某人 “使其得救 ”的经文。因此,这节经文也许证明了加尔文主义的拣选观点。 《帖撒罗尼迦前后书》中的救恩(soteria)指的是从大灾难中被解救,而不是从永恒的定罪中被解救。比较《帖前》5:8-9和《帖后》2:10(另参见《帖前》2:16)。上帝选择在大灾难期间把信徒从地上带走。问题不在于个人,也不在于永恒的命运。圣灵已经使我们成圣,使我们分别为圣,所以我们会在大灾难开始之前离开这里。

¿Necesitamos creer de todo corazón? Hechos 8:37

December 17, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita - Fe Salvadora, Grande fe, Hechos 8:37
WW hace una pregunta interesante sobre la fe que salva: AMO tu canal. PREGUNTA: Hechos 8:37 dice: “Felipe dijo: Si crees de todo corazón, bien puedes. Y respondiendo, dijo: Creo que Jesucristo es el Hijo de Dios”. ¿Puede una persona ser salva por creer, pero quizás no de todo corazón? ¿Hay un “casi” creer? ¿Cómo

Kailangan Ba Nating Manampalataya Nang Buong Puso? (Gawa 8:37)

December 17, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya
Si WW ay may napakainteresanteng tanong tungkol sa nagliligtas na pananampalataya: IBIG ko ang iyong channel. TANONG: Ang sabi ng Gawa 8:37, “At sinabi ni Felipe, ‘Kung nanampalataya ka nang buong puso ay mangyayari.’ At sumagot siya at sinabi: ‘Sumasampalataya ako na si Jesu-Cristo ay Anak ng Dios.’” Maaari bang maligtas ang isang tao sa

Dobbiamo credere con tutto il cuore? Atti 8:37

December 17, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Grazia Gratuita - Atti 8:37, Fede Salvifica, Grande fede
WW pone una domanda interessante sulla fede salvifica: Amo il vostro canale. DOMANDA: Atti 8:37 recita: “Filippo disse: «Se tu credi con tutto il cuore, è possibile». L’eunuco rispose: «Io credo che Gesù Cristo è il Figlio di Dio».”. Può una persona essere salvata dalla fede, ma forse non con tutto il suo cuore? Esiste

Who You Hang Around With 

December 17, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - 1 Cor 15:32-33, Discipleship, Luke 6:39-40, Prov 13:20
Most of us have heard the importance of choosing our friends wisely. We have been told that those we spend time with will influence us. Good friends will have a positive impact on us. Bad friends will have the opposite effect. It might be tempting to chalk this up to parents looking out for us.

Alege Dumnezeu oamenii pentru mântuire?

December 16, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Har Gratuit: Păstrează harul în centrul atenției
Potrivit calviniștilor, expresia cei aleși este una dintre cele mai importante din Biblie, deși apare doar de șaptei ori în Noul Testament (Matei 24:24; Marcu 13:22; Romani 11:7; Coloseni 3:12; 1 Timotei 5:21; 2 Timotei 2:10 și 2 Ioan 1). Fără articol hotărât, cuvintele ales sau alegere apar de alte șaisprezece ori în Noul Testament.

Dlaczego powinniśmy mówić wszystkim o Bema

December 16, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Jedynie Wiara, czyli darmowa łaska w centrum uwagi - Stolica sądowa (BEMA) Chrystusa
Kieruję GES od prawie czterdziestu lat. Każdego roku na naszym letnim spotkaniu zarząd ocenia mnie. Aby przygotować się do tego sądu, muszę wiernie wykonywać swoją pracę każdego dnia. Jeśli stracę z oczu moją ocenę, zwolnię w moich wysiłkach. Taka jest ludzka natura. Jeśli jednak skupię się na ocenie, podwoję swoje wysiłki. Bema (sądowa stolica Chrystusa)

What Does Praise the Lord Mean? 

December 16, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Hallelujah, praise
Have you ever said, “Praise the Lord”? If so, what did you mean? There is a lot of confusion in Christianity about what the expression means. Most people think that we praise the Lord when we 1) say the words Praise the Lord, and 2) have happy feelings during worship. But neither of those is
