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 |

1. 耶稣说“跟着我”，到底是什么意思？
耶稣是主（林前12:3）
这是基督教里最核心、基本、独特的一句。也是每一个真正的基督徒必须做的第一
个最基本的承认：“如果你口里承认耶稣是主，心里相信神使他死里复活，你就得救了
”（罗10:9）。要说某个人可能是真正的基督徒，但是整个的生活方式、价值观、言谈
、态度都明显有着倔强的拒绝向“耶稣是主”这个观念投降的特征，这说法甚至不需要
被反驳。这个想法你在基督教教义和实践里从来也找不到，从早期教会神父到宗教改革
以及后来至少三个半世纪以来一直是这样。现在常见的不强调耶稣主权的福音派教义体
现了当代福音运动的浅薄和精神上的贫乏。这也无疑是福音运动困乏的重要原因之一。
你没法从福音里去掉耶稣的主权而不在根本上削弱信仰。这也正是今日教会里发生的情
形。
耶稣的教导和教会组织从来就把他的主权放在核心地位。当我们回顾本书里他的早
期生活和教会组织，你会明显的看到这点。他从来不回避宣称他作为掌权人的权威。他
向门徒、敌人、偶遇的询问者都是这样宣称的----在要求无条件投降这点上他拒绝妥协

论人
━━神的精心杰作
一、序言
合神心意的大卫不仅赞叹宇宙的伟大与奇妙（诗19:1-6），亦感怀神对人慈爱的眷顾（
诗8:4-9），可见他非只认识神创造的神奇，复明白人的本性极需神的爱顾，不然，人就
远离其被造之目的━━倚靠与敬拜神。故此，因他先清楚认识神的实在，才能进而认识
人的本性，诚如有人说：“真认识神者必认识人，认识人的真相者亦必进而认识神”。
此说亦近我国古语“思知人，不可以不知天”一言（中庸，哀公问政二十章）〔注1〕。
二、人的来源
人的由来只有两个可能的解释：一据自科学假设，一据自圣经启示。
A.进化论━━在细节上亦有三个解说：
1.无神进化论（atheistic evolution）━━此说言万物皆循天演的自理生成，人类亦由
下级动物亿万年递嬗进化而来，故又名“天演论”。
2.有神进化论（theistic evolution）━━此说言神创造万物，并原始的单细胞，人就

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

For most of its history, Unitarianism has been known for the rejection of

And therefore, O God, I pray thee, if thou hast one ounce of mercy for
this thy suffering creature, absolve me of having to have free will!
God:
You reject the greatest gift I have given thee?
Mortal:
How can you call that which was forced on me a gift? I have free will,
but not of my own choice. I have never freely chosen to have free will. I
have to have free will, whether I like it or not!

The word determined here is subtly but powerfully misleading and has

By Karl W. Giberson March 23, 2014 12:00 AM The Daily Beast
The “Big Bang” theory of the origin of the universe got a big boost this
week when scientists reported the discovery of 14-billion-year-old echoes of
the universe’s first moments—the first proof of an expanding universe,
and the last piece of Einstein’s general theory of relativity.

发帖数: 1904 | 40 The Bible’s answer
Many Christian denominations teach that God is a Trinity. However, note what
the Encyclopædia Britannica states: “Neither the word Trinity nor the
explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament . . . The doctrine developed
gradually over several centuries and through many controversies.”
In fact, the God of the Bible is never described as being part of a Trinity.
Note these Bible passages:
“Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.”—Deuteronomy 6:4.

Why Is the Trinity An Essential Christian Doctrine?
I recently received an email question from a listener who
wrote: “I have studied quite a few different translations of the bible and
have full faith in what it says. I also believe that Jesus is my savior, and
do my best to live by what He taught. However, I am not a Christian
according to many religious leaders, because I do not believe in the
doctrine regarding the trinity. I hav... 阅读全帖 |

中華文化不怎麽談個人，基督救人脫離個人罪的捆綁之說多少讓華人感到是很生疏的話
題，我們明白的是彼此得罪的那種“罪”。所以信徒告訴別人什麽是罪，如何得救，最
好說得罪上帝和彼此得罪，以及與上帝和好和被上帝接納，大家就會比較容易明白。關
於救贖的教義就是：基督的降世為人、死在十字架上、復活，這件事使信徒得到救贖與
神和好。這是福音，沒有爭論的。至於爲何如此，基督如何做成這工，則有多種哲學解
釋，每一種解釋都構成一個學説。
昨天我讀了一篇19世紀遁道會的神學家John Miley 寫的駁斥有限救贖論的研究論文。
我現在來試圖翻譯這個救贖論的觀念，因爲在網上找不到有關的中文討論。有些神學辯
論華人教會似乎一向不怎麽參與，所有的辯論，我們華人信徒可能常常會感到不得要領
，聼起來似乎都有些道理嘛。因爲你會注意到，這個救贖論的研討都是集中在個人層面

基要主义，基要派，是19世纪末20世纪初在基督新教内兴起的一个运动，而非一个宗派
。在美国等地有较大影响。英语“基要主义”一词在20世纪初由美国的长老宗教徒提出
，但基要主义运动后来是由浸信会继承和发扬光大。基要派主张“圣经绝对无误”，反
对一切自由主义神学（或称现代派神学），反对他们对《圣经》的批判。
1910年美国长老会会议议决，把基督教基要信仰归纳成五点（称为Doctrinal
Deliverance of 1910或The Five Fundamentals）：
《圣经》无误谬性。（Inerrancy of the Bible）
耶稣基督乃由童贞女所生，并且就是神。（The virgin birth and deity of
Jesus Christ）
“唯独因信得救”的教义。（the doctrine of Salvation by Faith Alone）

Karma (Sanskrit, also karman, Pāli: Kamma) means "action" or "doing";
whatever one does, says, or thinks is a karma. In Buddhism, the term karma
is used specifically for those actions which spring from the intention (
Sanskrit: cetanā, Pali: cetana) of an unenlightened being.
These bring about a fruit (Sanskrit, Pali: phala) or result (S., P.: vipāka

余英时：民主、人权与儒家文化
字号:小 大 2011-04-25 10:28 作者：余英时 来源： 爱思想 我要评论(0) 分享到
民主与人权这两个完全起于西方的概念，前者可追溯到古希腊时代，后者则兴起于文艺
复兴与启蒙之时[1]。然而，自19世纪末以来，中国知 识分子对诸如自由﹑平等﹑社会
契约等一揽子西方思想观念和价值观如此着迷，以致于他们一直致力于将这些观念移植
到中国来。1949至1976年，中国大陆 的知识分子无法就民主与人权进行严肃的讨论，
而同时期的台湾和香港，自由思想则非常活跃，在那里，民主﹑自由﹑平等与人权受到
了凸出的关注。这一新的思想 在中国大陆以外的发展，我们可以分辨出两个不同的流
派。
一方面，中国自由传统的主流是以反儒学的面目出现的，在五四运动以及后来集结在台
湾《自由中国》周围的知识分子则强化了这一立场，而“发行人”胡适则独一无二地具
有既是《自由中国》又是反儒传统的双重身分。另一方面，持文化保守主义立场的新儒
家也开始认真视... 阅读全帖 |
