第三篇

《面对加尔文主义(Confronting Calvinism)》一书的作者 托尼·巴格(Tony Badger )博士,将于 1 月 25 日开始教授一门为期十三周、关于加尔文主义的选修课程。以下是他对有限救赎的看法: 无论是在旧约还是新约,没有任何一处经文表达或教导这样一种观念:基督在十字架上的救赎之死——通常称为祂的赎罪——无论是在神的旨意上,还是在其功效所能及于的范围上,是有限或受限制的。① 相反,圣经明确而毫不含糊地教导,耶稣基督乃是神的羔羊,祂的死除去了全世界的罪,满足了神对全人类的忿怒;祂来,是要寻找并拯救失丧的人,而不是只拯救其中的一部分!(第213页) 在我的著作《加尔文主义符合圣经吗?(Is Calvinism Biblical?)》中,我讨论了两节能够反驳“有限救赎”的经文:《约翰福音》1:29 和《彼得后书》2:1。 在加尔文主义的五点教义中,“有限救赎”是最常被否定的一点。许多自称加尔文主义者的人并不接受 TULIP 中的 L(有限救赎)。所谓的“四点加尔文主义者”(Four-point Calvinists),通常被称为亚目拉都主义者(Amyraldians),这一名称源自亚目拉都(Moses Amyraut)(1596–1664)。我曾就读的达拉斯神学院在历史上就是亚目拉都主义立场。二十世纪七十年代中期,路易斯(S. Lewis Johnson) 博士因后来接受了“有限救赎”的观点,而辞去了达拉斯神学院的职务。 五点加尔文主义者很少把亚目拉都主义者视为真正的加尔文主义者。他们通常把亚目拉都主义者归类为亚米念主义者,尽管他们除了 L 之外,接受其余所有加尔文主义教义。 《约翰福音》 1:29。当施洗约翰看见耶稣走近时,他说:“看哪,神的羔羊,除去世人罪孽的!”这里的“世人”(希腊文 kosmos)指的是全人类,也就是每一个人。 […]

How do we harmonize John 524 with 1 John 417 (4)
