Destruir la Palabra de Dios

En los relatos de los reyes de Israel y Judá —pocos de los cuales fueron piadosos— hay muchos acontecimientos que parecen algo extraños a los lectores modernos. Uno de ellos se encuentra en 2 Reyes 22. Josías fue uno de los pocos reyes piadosos. Cuando era joven, quiso restaurar el templo del Señor, que se […]

Pagwasak sa salita ng Diyos

Sa kwento ng mga hari ng Israel at Juda- at iilan ang sa kanila ay maka-Diyos- maraming pangyayaring tila kakaiba sa modernong pandinig. Isa sa mga ito ay masusumpungan sa 2 Hari 22. Si Josias ay isa sa mga iilang maka-Diyos na hari. Nang siya ay bata pa, ninais niyang ayusin ang templo ng Panginoon, […]

December 19, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Faith without works is dead
Is a person regenerated by faith with works

Twice in James Chapter 2 we read: “Faith without works is dead” (Jas 2:20, 26). And once we read, “Faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead” (Jas 2:17). Many commentators focus on the word dead. They wrongly think James means that faith without works is not faith. But dead in this […]

Distruggere la Parola di Dio

Nei racconti dei re d’Israele e di Giuda – pochi dei quali erano pii – ci sono molti eventi che sembrano alquanto strani ai lettori moderni. Uno di questi si trova in 2 Re 22. Giosia fu uno dei pochi re devoti. Quando era giovane, volle restaurare il tempio del Signore, che era caduto in […]

Why does Luke describe the Lord’s first crib

We are all familiar with the fact that Jesus was placed in a manger after He was born. I think most of us think of a small wooden structure in which owners of animals would place hay for those animals to eat. Church tradition tells us that Jesus was born in a cave and that […]

信耶稣的得救,那些信祂是基督的不得救吗?

斯蒂芬妮给我发了一篇文章的链接,作者是一位基督教信仰的捍卫者,一位护教人士。这篇 2018 年的文章由华莱士( J. Warner Wallace) 撰写,题为 “当相信变成信靠(When Belief ‘That’ Becomes Belief ‘In)“。参见此处。另请参阅 gotquestions.org 上的这篇文章,其中提出了同样的论点。 斯蒂芬妮写道:“你能帮我理解这篇文章吗?感觉他是在信口开河。我希望得到您的帮助。先谢谢您了“。 华莱士在文章中没有提到任何经文。这本身就是一个警示。 他认为,信靠耶稣(believing in Jesus )指的是得救的信心,而相信耶稣(believing that Jesus )就是新约作者所说的并不指得救的信心: “虽然我对耶稣的长时间研究使我相信《新约》是可靠的,但它并没有使我‘信靠’耶稣(作为我的救主)”。 什么是 “信靠耶稣是我的救主”?他没有说。他说:“但这显然不仅仅是理智上的同意,而是一种自信的信任,是对认识到的需要的回应“。什么是自信的信任(confident trust)?什么是信任的信心(trusting faith)?如果它不仅仅是理智上的认同,那么怎么会有人知道他拥有这种信任呢? 在希腊语中,“相信(信靠)某人 “用 pisteuō eis 加上人名来表示。“相信”是 pisteuō hoti 加上所相信的事实。这是我们在达拉斯神学院接受的有关约翰福音的教育: 相信耶稣就等于相信他是基督,是上帝的儿子。 在《约翰福音》中Pisteuō eis 等于pisteuō hoti 《约翰福音》3:16 和其他几十节经文都用 pisteuō eis 说,信祂的人就有永生,永远不会灭亡、饥饿、干渴、死亡或被驱逐。然而,还有其他经文,如《约翰福音》11:27 和《约翰福音》20:31,明确地把相信耶稣是基督,是上帝的儿子,与相信祂得永生划上了等号。 许多人注意到,在《约翰福音》20:31 中,凡相信耶稣是基督,是上帝之子的人,就有永生:“但记这些事,是要叫你们信耶稣是基督,是上帝的儿子,并且叫你们因信他,可以因他的名得生命”(斜体强调)。另见《约翰一书 》5:1a,“凡信耶稣是基督的,就是从神生的”。 相信耶稣是基督,是上帝的儿子,就等同于相信他能获得永生。否则,《约翰福音》的目的陈述就会与该书的其余部分(如《约翰福音》3:14-18, 36; 6:47; 11:25-27)相矛盾。 […]

Уверенность во спасении это как светорегулятор?

Статья кальвиниста Джона Блума [англ. Jon Bloom], штатного автора и со-основателя сайта desiringGod.org. Здесь опубликована статья под названием “Как Бог даёт уверенность” (4/09/2015). Блум начинает свою статью следующими словами: “Действительно ли я христианин? Не так много вопросов способны вызвать более ужасающую дрожь у верующих…” Его позиция звучит так: “Как и большинство вещей в христианской жизни, […]

Der Glaube allein, in Einhundert Versen

– Vers 10 – Samariter glauben an Jesus und erlangen das ewige Leben (Johannes 4,39-42) Aus jener Stadt aber glaubten viele Samariter an ihn um des Wortes der Frau willen, die bezeugte: Er hat mir alles gesagt, was ich getan habe. *Als nun die Samariter zu ihm kamen, baten sie ihn, bei ihnen zu bleiben; […]

faithful Creator

In Isa 9:6, the prophet provides a list of titles for the Lord, including Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. However, this impressive list is just a drop in the bucket. In the Scriptures, He is also called the Word, the Alpha and the Omega, the King of Kings, the Chief […]

¿Es la seguridad como la luz de un regulador de intensidad?

Artículo del calvinista Jon Bloom, redactor y cofundador de desiringGod.org. Ver aquí el artículo titulado, “How God Gives Assurance [Cómo Dios da seguridad]” (4/9/15). Bloom comienza su artículo con estas palabras: “¿Soy verdaderamente cristiano? Pocas preguntas causan más temblor temeroso en los creyentes…” He aquí su punto de vista: “Como la mayoría de las cosas […]
