第二章 预定论简述
〈西敏信条〉叙述长老教会与改革宗教会的信仰，它是将改革宗信仰表达得最完全的信
条，其中有一段是这样说的：「神从永远，本著他自己的旨意，定下最明智、最神圣的
计划，他自主地、绝不改变地决定一切将要成就的事。不过，神绝不是罪恶之源，他不
剥夺被造者的自由意志，而且也不剥夺「第二因」的自由性或偶然性，反而加以确立。
」（译注：「第二因」与「第一因*」（first cause）──神──相对）。又说：「虽
然神知道在各种情况之下所可能发生的一切事情；可是他预定任何事，并不是根据他对
那件事情的预见(foresee)，也不是因为他预先知道它在当时的情况中将有何发展。」
（三章1-2节）
预定论认为神的旨意是绝对的，也是无条件的，一切有限的受造物联合起来也不能影响
神的旨意，这旨意完全是神在永恒里安排的。神是万物的主宰，伟大而有能力，安排大
自然的运行，支配人类的历史，任何细节都在他的掌管之下。神的谕旨*（decree）永
不改变，至高无上，彰显神... 阅读全帖 |

一．上帝一般的旨意
3.1 在永恒中，上帝就按其至圣至智的旨意，自由不变地预定了将来所要发生的一切
（弗1:11；罗11:33；来6:17；罗9:15，18）；祂虽如此预定一切，并不因此就是罪恶
的创始者（雅1:13，17；约壹1:5），也不强迫受造者的意志，而且诸次因的自由运行
或因果关系也并未废去，反而得以确立（徒2:23；太17:12；徒4:27－28；约19:11；箴
16:33）。
3.2 虽然上帝预知在各种可能出现的条件下所能发生的一切（徒15:18;撒上23:11,12;
太11:21,23），但祂预定某事，并非因祂预知将来此事如何，或预知此事在这些条件下
必然发生（罗9:11,13,16,18）。
l 关于上帝的创造，祂从永远就已经有计划了。“我从起初指明末后的事，从
古时言明未成的事，说：我的筹算必立定；凡我所喜悦的，我必成就”（赛46:9-10）

Reformed Doctrine of Predestination
3. THE TERM "WORLD" IS USED IN VARIOUS SENSES
When it is said that Christ died "not for our sins only but for the sins of
the whole world," I John 2:2, or that He came to "save the world," John 12:
47, the meaning is that not merely Jews but Gentiles also are included in
His saving work; the world as a world or the race as a race is to be
redeemed. When John the Baptist said, "Behold the Lamb of God that ta... 阅读全帖 |

圣经清楚表明：神派定我们生命的年限与生活的疆界（徒十七26），预定你我所要
度的日子与所要发生的事（诗一三九16；伯十四5）。换言之，我们的神是主权的神，神
预先定下的事，必然要按时成就（赛十四24-27，四十六10-11）。神随自己的旨意计划
，按神旨意所预定的，行作万事；神叫万事都互相效力，以达成神的美意（弗一11；罗
八28-30）。所以，我们可总结说：神从无始的永远，按神至智至圣的旨意，随神的美意
，毫无改变地预定一切要成之事。
一、“神的旨意”的本质与特征
虽然“神的旨意”是多方面的并包罗万象，然而，“神的旨意”就其本质而言是合
一的。圣经明示“神的旨意”是一完美全备的计划（弗一11；徒廿27）。因为神是全知
全智、全善全能的，神对万事的预定安排，不同于世人的知识有限短视（需要分段计划
逐期调整），乃是按照神自有永有的整体全盘计划，在神学上称之为“神的元旨 the D
ecree of God”。另一方面来说，神的元旨计划，在历史中的逐步实施，是有连续阶段
性的；因此，“神的旨意”也可说是众多的（涉及不同的时空人事物），我们可用复数

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 |

发帖数: 3781 | 47 E. Exposition Proper
There is a question among commentators as to the precise relationship of cha
pter 5 to the preceding and following material. Does it go with the chapters
before, i.e., 1:18-4:25 or with the chapters that follow in 5:12-8:39? You
will note in the argument section above (under “Background Material and Arg
ument of the Book”) that we have taken the chapter as maintaining stronger
ties to what precedes than to what follows. But this is exactly the point. W

A Distorted Sovereignty
Having seen that Total Depravity is a key doctrine of Calvinism, we need to
understand that behind this belief is something even more fundamental: a gra
ve misunderstanding concerning the sovereignty of God. Singer reminds us tha
t "The secret grandeur of Calvin's theology lies in his grasp of the biblica
l teaching of the sovereignty of God." 1 In fact, he did not grasp the bibli
cal teaching but distorted it. Calvinism places such an emphasis upon sovere

Talbot and Crampton assure us that "The sovereignty of God is ... the most b
asic principle of Calvinism ... the foundation upon which all [including Chr
istianity itself] is built." 10 Boettner agrees: "The basic principle of Cal
vinism is the sovereignty of God." 11 Such fervor for God's sovereignty is c
ommendable. However, in order to make certain that everything is under His c

发帖数: 10575 | 50 Sect. XI. — BUT why should these things be abstruse to us Christians, so
that it should be considered irreligious, curious, and vain, to discuss and
know them, when heathen poets, and the very commonalty, have them in their
mouths in the most frequent use? How often does Virgil alone make mention of
Fate? “All things stand fixed by law immutable.” Again, “Fixed is the
day of every man.” Again, “If the Fates summon you.” And again, “If thou
shalt break the binding chain of Fate.” All this poet ai... 阅读全帖 |
