Uči li Ivan 6

Tom je postavio sljedeće pitanje: Jedan kalvinist citirao je Ivana 6:37, gdje piše: „Sve, što meni daje Otac, k meni će doći, “, kako bi argumentirao u korist predodređenja za vječni život. Kako da mu na to odgovorim? Dolazak k Isusu u Ivanovu evanđelju – uključujući i u 6. poglavlju (vidi 35. redak, dva retka […]

Is the Lordship Salvation gospel Biblical

Recently, President Trump gave a press conference addressing the war in Ukraine. He said that a thousand people a day were dying in the war, and he wanted to put a stop to it. He said that if he could save seven thousand people a week, he “might make it into heaven.” He added that […]

¿Estaban los creyentes del Antiguo Testamento motivados por recompensas eternas?22

¿Sabían Adán y Eva acerca de la doctrina de las recompensas eternas? ¿Y las generaciones posteriores? ¿Enoc (séptima generación)? ¿Abraham (vigésima)? ¿Moisés (vigésima sexta)? ¿El rey David (trigésima cuarta)? En el Antiguo Testamento se emplean varias palabras para expresar la idea de recompensa: recompensa, retribución, cosechar y juicio son cuatro de las más destacadas. Aunque […]

ang mga mananampalataya sa lumang tipan ba ay motibado ng mga eternal na gantimpala

Alam ba ni Adan at Eva ang doktrina ng eternal na mga gantimpala? Paano ang mga sumunod na henerasyon? Si Enoch (ang ikapaitong henerasyon)? Si Abraham (ang ikadalawampung henerasyon)? Si Moises (ang ika-dalawampu’t anim na henerasyon)? O si Haring David (ang ikatatlumpo’t apat na henerasyon)? Iba-ibang salita ang ginamit sa LT upang pantukoy sa ideya […]

Are husbands and wives commanded in Scripture to submit to one another

…submitting to one another in the fear of God (Eph 5:21).  Several years ago, I heard a sermon on Eph 5:22–33. The speaker was a friend who had been a contemporary at Dallas Seminary back in the day.   I was somewhat surprised when he started his sermon, not at the beginning of the passage, but […]

I credenti dell'Antico Testamento erano motivati dalle ricompense eterne?

Adamo ed Eva conoscevano la dottrina delle ricompense eterne? E le generazioni successive? Enoch (settima generazione)? Abramo (ventesima generazione)? Mosè (ventiseiesima generazione)? Re Davide (trentaquattresima generazione)? Nell’Antico Testamento vengono utilizzati vari termini per fare riferimento all’idea delle ricompense: ricompensa, premio, raccogliere e giudizio sono quattro dei più importanti. Sebbene sia chiaro che i credenti dell’AT […]

Învățătura din Ioan 6

Tom a pus următoarea întrebare: Un calvinist a citat Ioan 6:37, unde scrie: „Tot ce-Mi dă Tatăl va ajunge la Mine…”, pentru a susține alegerea pentru viața veșnică. Cum ar trebui să răspund? A veni la Isus în Evanghelia după Ioan — inclusiv în capitolul 6 (versetul 35, cu două versete înainte) — înseamnă a […]

Żydzi w czasach Jezusa poszukiwali życia wiecznego – ponowne rozważania nad fragmentem z Ewangelii wg Jana 5

Badajcie Pisma, skoro myślicie, że macie w nich życie wieczne. One świadczą o mnie. Nie chcecie przyjść do mnie, abyście mieli życie. Jana 5:39-40 Vince Deegan, mój przyjaciel, zwrócił moją uwagę na moc Jana 5:39-40 około dwudziestu lat temu, kiedy byliśmy razem w kościele. Niedawno przesłał mi krótką dodatkową refleksję, która skłoniła mnie do napisania […]

Are you blessed

In Luke 10:21–24, the Lord refers to those who see and hear certain things. He calls them blessed. In the immediate context, He is talking about His disciples, especially the seventy who had just returned from a preaching tour in Israel. These seventy had healed the sick and cast out demons in the name of […]

约6

汤姆问了这个问题: 一位加尔文主义者引用了《约翰福音》第 6 章 37 节的内容,该节写道:“凡父所赐给我的人,必到我这里来。”以此来支持关于“被选中获得永生”的观点。对此,我该如何回应呢? 在《约翰福音》中提及“来到耶稣身边”(包括第 6 章中,第 35 节,两节前),指的是信耶稣。 《约翰福音》 6:37 中并没有提到拣选。说得不是选择或拣选。 父将谁赐给耶稣呢?根据《约翰福音》第 6 章第 37 节,是把那些来信祂的人赐给耶稣。因此,在相信之前发生了一些事情,从而导致了这种相信。此外,还可以参考《约翰福音》第 6 章第 35 节、第 39 节、第 40 节和第 47 节。 《使徒行传》16:14 中提到:“主就开导她(吕底亚)的心,叫她留心听保罗所讲的话。”《圣经》中没有任何一处将重生称为“开导心灵”。相反,重点在于,在任何人信主之前,上帝会在一瞬间开启他们的内心/头脑(参见《路加福音》 24:45),以便他们能看清真理并相信它。 其他经文表明,祂会让那些积极回应并被祂吸引的人的心灵得到开启。 换句话说,那些由父赐予给主耶稣的,是那些愿意接受真理、并响应主最初的寻找而主动寻求主的人。 再来看《约翰福音》 5:39-40 的内容:“你们查考圣经,因你们以为内中有永生。给我作见证的就是这经,然而你们不肯到我这里来得生命。”(加粗部分为作者所加)其中的“你们不肯到我这里来”这句话,显然与加尔文主义关于拣选的观点相悖。而且这句话在《约翰福音》 5:40 和 6:37 中均有出现。 另外,还可参阅《马太福音》7:7-11,其中主说:你们祈求,就给你们;寻找,就寻见;叩门,就给你们开门。这里同样并非是绝对确定的。 使徒保罗在与雅典哲学家们的交谈中说道: “他从一本造出万族的人,住在全地上,并且预先定准他们的年限和所住的疆界, 要叫他们寻求神,或者可以揣摩而得;其实他离我们各人不远。”(《使徒行传》 17:26 – 27,加粗部分为作者所加)。 在《使徒行传》第 10 章中,哥尼流也是一个例子。作为对主的纪念,他的祈祷和施舍已经达到神那里。这就是为什么上帝派了一位天使告诉他去召唤西门·彼得,彼得会告诉他和他的家人他们必须做什么才能得救(《使徒行传》 11:14)。 那位在井边的女子被告知,如果她能明白上帝的恩赐以及与她交谈之人是谁,她就会向他祈求,并且祂会赐给她永生之水(《约翰福音》 4:10)。在约4:14 中,主解释说,上帝的恩赐就是永生,而那永生之水就是耶稣基督所保证给所有相信祂的人的救赎信息,也就是赐予他们永生。 […]
