God the Father
A true Christian may be aware of comfort for himself, now and in the future,

a triune God. The knowledge of a triune God is indispensable for salvation.
This lesson speaks of the Trinity in general and of God the Father in

Answer: The Old Testament records God killing multitudes of people, and

that “killing” and “murder” are synonymous is partially based on the
King James mistranslation of the sixth commandment, which reads, “Thou
shalt not kill” (Exodus 20:13). However, the word kill is a translation of
the Hebrew word ratsach, which nearly always refers to intentional killing

無論『神成為人，是為了要人成為神』、或『神的經綸和計劃是把祂自己做成人，把
我們做成祂造的"神"』，都亂講，聖經裡沒有這種思想。
但聖經倒有『我是耶和華、在我以外並沒有別神』（賽45：5）、『獨一的真神』（
約17：3）。神『自有永有』（出3：14），不是中途被造或繼續增加的。
神成為人、名字叫耶穌，為了救贖、為了成為人的榜樣，不是『為了要人成為神』
。神是獨一的，基督徒若成了神、神就N個了，這樣就要推翻聖經了。
單單『神』這個字，在基督徒的認識中就是三合一神，不然就得講『假神』、『神
明』或加上形容詞來讓人分辨不同。以下我以對話方式來釐清真理：
甲：『人的兒子就是人。同樣的，神（God）的兒子當然也是神（god）』。
答：人從母腹而出、兒子與父母都是人，因為基督徒從神而生、所以才比喻成『神
的兒子』，但基督徒不能跳級成為神。
因為神與人之間有一條永遠無法跨越的鴻溝、創造主與受造物絕對不會劃
