A. Introduction
Romans 1:18-3:20 speaks profoundly and frankly into the issue of human sin a
nd responsibility. The night is very black indeed throughout these chapters;
there is a deathly chill in the air between God and his creatures and the f
rightening darkness is looking more permanent with each stroke of the apostl
e’s pen. But a marked change occurs here in 3:21-31. For the first time (ap
art from 1:17) we receive hope for daylight, and not just a glimmer of the s

IN GOD'S WAY
SCHOOL-DAYS
I.
In the melting snow on the hill-side by the sea, in the last rays of the
evening sun, stood a boy of fourteen, awestruck. He looked toward the west,
out across the sea; he looked toward the east, over town and shore and the
broad hills; in the background still higher peaks rose far away in the clear
sky.
The storm had lasted a long time; it had been more terrible, too, than any
the old people could remember. In ... 阅读全帖 |

What does monergism mean?
诚之获授权翻译。
原文载于：http://www.monergism.com/thethreshold/articles/onsite/qna/monergis
m.html
神恩独作（Monergism）：在重生时，不是依靠我们未重生的人性与神有任何的合作，而
是圣灵使我们与基督联合。祂藉著外在的呼召，即神的道的宣讲，解除我们内在敌意的
武装，除去我们的瞎眼，照亮我们的心智，使我们明白，把我们的石心变成肉心——使
我们喜爱神的话——以我们被更新的情感，竭尽全力、心甘情愿地拥抱基督。被圣灵所
默示的先知以西结断言：“我要使他们有合一的心，也要将新灵放在他们里面，又从他
们肉体中除掉石心，赐给他们肉心，使他们顺从我的律例，谨守遵行我的典章。他们要
作我的子民，我要作他们的神。”（结11：19-20；另参36：26）。使徒保罗说，“被神
所爱的弟兄啊，我知道你们是蒙拣选的；因为我们的福音传到你们那里，不独在乎言语
，也在乎权能和圣灵，并充足的信心”。（帖前1：4-5）这就是说，在重生时，神的道
不是单独做工的，必须伴... 阅读全帖 |

旧约是新约的预备和预表，这是显而易见且无需证明的。保罗用出埃及的事件警戒哥林

如果Romney选其他任何一个VP,我都会弃权。
但因为Paul Ryan, 没法下最后的决心。

The complete paragraph containing Marx's statement of the creed in the '
Critique of the Gotha Program' is as follows:
In a higher phase of communist society, after the enslaving subordination of
the individual to the division of labor, and therewith also the antithesis
between mental and physical labor, has vanished; after labor has become not
only a means of life but life's prime want; after the productive forces have
also increased with the all-around development o... 阅读全帖 |

" DOES GOD REALLY HATE THE GAYS ?"
Written by Christopher Donaldson
*****************
Who decides what’s right or wrong?
We all know the Bible appraises self-worth according to strict sets of
laws and hierarchies: Go to Hell if you covet the neighbor’s house, kill
the neighbor, or take off with the neighbor’s wife.
It runs moral meanings smooth over broken fine lines that fall
somewhere between fact and fiction and good and evil. God still hates figs
and shrimp... 阅读全帖 |

Why are left-wing activist groups so keen on registering the poor to vote?
Because they know the poor can be counted on to vote themselves more
benefits by electing redistributionist politicians. Welfare recipients are
particularly open to demagoguery and bribery.
Registering them to vote is like handing out burglary tools to criminals.
It is profoundly antisocial and un-American to empower the nonproductive
segments of the population to destroy the country -- which is precise... 阅读全帖 |

In today's world, any critic of Islam is labeled an Islamophobe and
marginalized by society at large. But it was not always so. Here,
abolitionist, scholar, and sixth President of the United States John Quincy
Adams delivers the most concise, yet deeply analytical assessment of the "
why" of Islam.
Please read on.
In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab [Muhammad] of
the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent
genius, w... 阅读全帖 |

The Hartford Seminary has occupied a leading position among theological
faculties around the nation in accommodating Islam, particularly in its
radical forms, since appointing its first Muslim faculty member more than
twenty years ago. Today, that accommodation extends to the murderous regime
of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad.
Hartford maintains a highly questionable relationship with an Islamic
religious and Arabic-language school, the Al-Fatiha Islamic Academy in
Damascus, a... 阅读全帖 |

by wheatington
Muslims talk about building bridges but the bridge is only one-way. Did you
really think that Muslims wanted to understand kafirs?
Muslim Brotherhood theorist Sayyid Qutb explains: The chasm between
Islam and Jahiliyyah [the society of unbelievers] is great, and a bridge is
not to be built across it so that the people on the two sides may mix with
each other, but only so that the people of Jahiliyyah may come over to Islam.
Islam is doctrine of... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 6571 | 49 Why Voting for Donald Trump Is a Morally Good Choice
Wayne Grudem
Some of my Christian friends tell me they can’t in good conscience vote for
Donald Trump because, when faced with a choice between “the lesser of two
evils,” the morally right thing is to choose neither one. They recommend
voting for a third-party or write-in candidate.
As a professor who has taught Christian ethics for 39 years, I think their
analysis is incorrect. Now that Trump has won the GOP nomination, I think
voting for Tru... 阅读全帖 |
