Of Justification
I. Those whom God effectually calleth, he also freely justifieth:[235] not
by infusing righteousness into them, but by pardoning their sins, and by
accounting and accepting their persons as righteous; not for anything
wrought in them, or done by them, but for Christ’s sake alone; nor by
imputing faith itself, the act of believing, or any other evangelical
obedience to them, as their righteousness; but by imputing the obedience and

The Reformation did not convert the people of Europe to orthodox
Christianity through preaching and catechisms alone. It was the 300 year
period of witch-hunting from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century, what R
.H. Robbins called "the shocking nightmare, the foulest crime and deepest
shame of western civilization." The Church created the elaborate concept of
devil worship and then, used the persecution ... 阅读全帖 |

关于用词
最常翻译成英文新约里“Lord”的希腊词是“kurios”，说的是某个有权力、所有
权和无可置疑的指挥权的人。一个相近的希腊词despotes有时候也翻译成新约里的“
Lord”，意思是一个对下属有绝对控制的统治者。Murray J Harris教授这样解释两个
词得区别：“显然despotes和kyrios的意思大部分相同；都可以翻译成lord或master。
如果我们要区分两个词的侧重，kyrios表示“sovereign Lord”，despotes表示“
absolute Lord”
两个词在新约里都用来指耶稣是主。比如，约翰13:3，耶稣取用了kurios给自己：
“你称我老师和主（kurios）；你是对的，我的确是。”犹大书1:4里，一段由耶稣世
上半个兄弟写的话，同时用了两个词：“有些人偷偷的溜了进来，他们预先就被标明要
受谴责，这些不信神的人把上帝的恩典化为放荡，否认我们唯一的真宰（despotes）和
主（kyrios）。”
这两个词都极端的强力。都是新约时代奴隶制度语汇的一部分。他们表述的是一个

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

A. 耶稣描绘人生中（对待他人）最重要的事（10：29－37） (jonahome.net)
7. 显然这个律法师，像那个（年轻）富有的官（路18：21－22）一样，只是嘴上说说
遵守神的“最大的诫命”而已，因为他想通过提问题来“显明自己有理”──“谁是我
的邻舍呢？”请仔细注意耶稣在第36节的问题。
8. *“好撒马利亚人的比喻”是耶稣针对律法师的问题的直接的、特定的回答，即，“
好撒马利亚人的比喻”是为了回答“谁是我的邻舍”的问题。没有任何圣经根据去把这
个比喻解释成象征性的或过分灵意化的。耶稣要通过这段经文的字义理解教导一个非常
丰富的真理。
耶稣实际上是在说：“请你通过作一个好邻舍，向有需要的人表示怜悯，来向我证明你
爱神并爱邻舍吧！”（见约壹3：17）请注意路10：36。
