发帖数: 1153 | 2 godly,godhead,godhood,都有divine或divinity的含义。如果这可以说是神性，圣经明
确指出人可以获得神性(divine nature)。获得神性(becoming a godly man)并不等于
成为神(becoming God)。各位大概在原则上没有分歧，是误会了吧？
这里的人水平和文化程度就没限？水平和文化程度高也不一定就能或就能在短时间内搞
清主啊。神是公平的，水平和文化程度不同的人，神有能力通过不

宗教对人类生活的影响是显而易见的。世界上大大小小的宗教在数量上超过千种，
几乎所有的宗教都对道德生活提供了理解。人们要互惠地、和平地和繁荣地生活在一起
，需要各种明确或隐含的对相互行为的限定。在许多宗教的教义中，除了某些仪式上的
管理外，还有一些禁令。希伯来的《圣经》中包含上帝为人类行为建立的规范，在著名
的“摩西十诫”中，我们看到孝敬父母（第五条）、不可杀人（第六条）、不可奸淫（
第七条）、不可偷盗（第八条）、不可作假监证来陷害他人（第九条）、不可贪恋他人
的财产（第十条）这些诫命。东方宗教也有许多富含道德内容的条款，如佛教的“五戒
十善”中的五戒分别是：不杀生、不偷盗、不邪淫、不妄语、不饮酒。这些戒条所规范
的都涉及人类生活最基本的方面，如生命、性、财产、家庭、社会交往。许多学者干脆
把伦理和道德植入对宗教的定义之中。英国诗人、社会批评家马修?阿诺德( Mathew
Arnold)说，“宗教是被感情所拔高、所激发、所陶醉的伦理”。法国社会学家涂尔干(
Emile Durkheim)是这样定义宗教的：“宗教是一个与神圣事物相关的信仰和实践的统

第二世纪的新柏拉图主义
于第二世纪，新柏拉图主义的先锋阿帕米亚之努曼尼亚斯（Numenius of Apamea）提出
一个新发展，其特色是将造物者降级，这是因为造物者与不驯的物质发生接触，因而必
须和宇宙的第一原则分开来。这第一原则是本身在进行自我思想（self-intellection
）的一个nous，而这自我思想的内容即是理型。甚至这正是所有理型的总合，是「存有
」的本身，这或许可被想成一个心思，而整个的真实都对这心思同时显现。第二原则亦
是nous，但其思想是外指的。当它思想第一原则时，它是「往上」指涉，当它执行其造
物者的功用时，则是「往下」指涉。
第二世纪斐罗的影响
深受柏拉图主义影响的斐罗认为，人类乃是一个直接被神所造之「理性魂（rational
soul）」和神所吹入生命之气的尘土的溷合体。带着「非理性魂（irrational soul）
」的身体并不是神直接创造的，而是由神的能力（powers）所创造，它不过就是魂更高

新浪科技讯 北京时间10月13日消息，据美国太空网10月13日报道，美宇航局月球
勘测轨道飞行器(LRO)日前向地面控制中心发回了LCROSS探测器上周连续两次撞击月球
表面的图像和温度图。
月球勘测轨道飞行器携带的Diviner仪器在美宇航局LCROSS探测器及其“半人马座
”火箭级撞击月球约90秒钟后，以50英里(约合80 公里)的高度从撞击地点掠过，拍摄
了两次撞击的红外图像。LCROSS任务旨在通过发射探测器撞击月表，在月球南极永久阴
影带寻找水冰的痕迹。
美国东部时间10月9日早晨7时31分(北京时间19时31分)，2.2吨重的“半人马座”
火箭级撞向一个名为“凯布斯”的陨石坑。4分钟以后，“牧羊人”航天器再次给凯布
斯坑以重击。撞击结束以后，Diviner从撞击点上空连续飞行8圈，以大约两小时的间隔
拍摄撞击前后的温度图。 Diviner能以红外光谱绘制月球表面温度图。

民數記的英文名字就是數目(Number)。所以在民數記裡，我們要特別注意相關的數
目，一切出現的數目，都有其屬靈的意義。因為我們的神是一位對數目非常清楚，作事
一點都不含糊的神。

如果這人得罪神的項目，不牽涉到虧負人，那他就要把虧負神的事，換成銀兩奉獻
給事奉神的祭司。如此這人的罪才能得赦免。換句話說，如果有人在十一奉獻的事上，

引 言：
主基督预言到，在世界末日及他再来之前，必先有一些预兆（signs）会发生。马太24
：3-14所论之预兆中，第一样的预兆乃是异端、邪教之兴起--必有假基督、假先知起来
，迷惑多人，甚至连选民也迷惑了（太24：4-5，11，24）。其次，提后4：1-4亦预言
到末日来到之前，人会厌烦纯正的道理，随从自己的私欲、偏向荒渺的言语。现今世代
的异端中，专向这些对真理模糊不清的「教友」入手传教的，是耶和华见证人。1984年
，美国耶和华见证会宣布加入他们教派的人中，逾百分之八十是从天主教和基督教而来
的。所以主劝戒及警告我们要儆醒（太24：4，42-43），并要在真道上扎根，以致晓得

堕楼54岁女子姓余，消息指她并非太古城居民，居于300米外的华兰花园芝兰阁。4日晨9时许，余姓女子跟随住客进入太古城顺安阁，然后乘升降机到顶楼，再经楼梯走上天台，由于天台范围属各顶楼住客物业，刚巧其中一个单位大闸没有上锁，疑余女内进，然后跃下。

2007-08-08 13:49阅读：2,140
钱钟书和王佐良先生都是学外语的人经常听到的两个名字。钱先生是集“独异”、“读
书等身”、“学贯中西”的学者和作家；而王先生则对英国文学有较深的造诣。这两位
可以说是我们学外语人的典范，对母语和外语都有很好的把握，才能学贯中西。两位都
有一个共同点是他们都获得了牛津大学的“B.Litt”（副博士）学位。略通英语的人看
到“B.Litt”就会想到这是“Bachelor of Literature”或是“Bachelor of Letters
”的缩略形式，如果追究词源，“Bachelor of Literature”或“Bachelor of
Letters”来源于拉丁语“Baccalaureus Litterarum”。这样就会有一个疑惑，“B.
Litt”怎么就变成“副博士”呢？陆谷孙先生主编的《英汉大词典》把“B.Litt”翻译
成了“文学学士”，这又是怎么回事？钱和王两先生到底是什么学位？带着这些疑问，
我和同学还争论过，同学的证据主要是李赋宁先生写的《学习英语与从事英语工作... 阅读全帖 |

The thing about Maggie Cheung is that she has an X-factor called femininity
that does not exist in girls and women anymore. American girls are all into
getting breasts implants so they look hotter or sexier and European models
try to lose all the weight so they become sexy like Kate Moss. What Maggie
Cheung has is the X-factor that cannot be defined. The Yin energy, the
divine part of God that is female. She oozes that X-factor and sensuality.

记者根据香港交易所披露公告梳理得知，2018年，至少20家港股上市公司的控股股
东新设立或将股权转让给离岸家族信托，其中15家系在港上市的国内企业，包括融创中
国、龙湖集团、周黑鸭等，相关信托计划所控制股权市值约为285亿美元。
中国富豪移师境外 2000亿蜂拥离岸信托
对于企业家设立离岸信托原因，资深信托研究员袁吉伟向记者分析称，一是满足财
富传承需求，类似家族信托；二是满足资产隔离需求，避免因婚姻等分割家族财富；三
是有避税方面的安排。
此外，一位香港从事信托、遗产规划等方面的律师人士告诉记者，随着金融市场波
动愈加剧烈，全球经济增长不确定性增强，资产注入离岸家族信托将个人财富与企业经

作者M.C. 摄影：SFMike 晚会评论者和发帖者不附属于法轮功组织或中华人民共
和国。
上周末听说新唐人电视台在歌剧厅举办新年晚会，我们曾毫不怀疑能够估摸出晚会
大概的样子。在我们小的时候，父母总是拽我们去参加中国文化的各种活动，甚至我们
还会参与一些表演。中国的杂技演员顶着瓷碗向后弯腰及地。至于琵琶和古琴弹奏，我
们都见识过。还有浓饰重彩的京剧演员甩着长袖，扮演猴子的武生上窜下跳满场翻飞，
以及那伴着锣鼓家伙的嘈杂声。这些艺术都有五百年的历史了。
不过我们这里看到的却是：在电脑动画背景下，一位天使降临人间来拯救“被共产
党迫害”的法轮功练习者，还伴随着“法轮功就是好”的歌曲。
是的，我们得承认：这是我们从来没有看过的。
在降临之后，整台晚会似乎就和法轮功毫无联系，但又可以说息息相关，似乎它贯
穿了整个中国5000年的文明历史，外加多彩的画面。
新唐人电视台的这场晚会已经是第四届了，在全世界近30个城市巡演，和我们参加
的其他中国文艺节目大为不同。晚会两个小时的节目是由新唐人电视台，大纪元和希望
之声电台主办的。

When I was young, I devoted quite a bit of study to Adolf Hitler and Nazi
Germany. The reason for my fascination is now certainly clear, if it was
even the slightest bit murky then. My efforts were to answer that one
question that haunts us all in our attempts to deconstruct such depravity
and horror: "How could this have happened?" How had one man created such an
ideology of militant proselytism, and how could that one man mold a legion

As more details about the Martin/Zimmerman case emerge, the messier it
becomes.
I want to quote some excerpts from a recent ABC/Good Morning America story
about the case.
Zimmerman had claimed he had called police about Martin, whom he found
suspicious, then went back to his car when Martin attacked him, punching him.
Taken at face value, the above claim seems to suggest that Zimmerman made no

In 2006, the Episcopal Church's presiding bishop, Katherine Jefferts Schori,
told the New York Times that Episcopalians were not interested in "
replenishing their ranks by having children." Instead, the church "[

use more than their portion."
"Stewardship of the earth" and having children are not incompatible, but if

Why I Am Not A Christian
What Is a Christian?
Nowadays it is not quite that. We have to be a little more vague in our
meaning of Christianity. I think, however, that there are two different
items which are quite essential to anybody calling himself a Christian. The
first is one of a dogmatic nature -- namely, that you must believe in God
and immortality. If you do not believe in those two things, I do not think
that you can properly call yourself a Christian. Then, further tha... 阅读全帖 |

1711年，有着ZF背景的英国南海公司成立，发行了最早的一批股票。从每股128英镑左右开始上涨，涨幅惊人。看到如此好的行情，牛顿投入7000英镑购买了股票，两个月后挣了一倍。但牛顿马上后悔了，因为到7月份涨到了1股1000英镑，增值8倍，于是他立刻再投入。没过多久，南海公司总资产严重缩水，许多人血本无归，牛顿也亏了2万英镑。
