发帖数: 1776 | 1 第二章 论上帝与三位一体
一．上帝是独一的（申6:4；林前8:4，6），又真又活的（帖前1:9；耶10:10）；在
其存有和完全上都是无限的（伯11:7－9；26:14），祂是至纯之灵（约4:24），无形（
提前1:17）、无体（申4:15－16；约4:24；路24:39）、无欲（徒14:11，15）、不变（
雅1:17；玛3:6）、无量（王上8:27；耶23:23－24）、永恒（诗90:2；提前1:17）、不
可测度（诗145:3）、全能（创17:1；启4:8）、全智（罗16:27）、至圣（赛6:3；启4:
8）、最自由（诗115:3）、最绝对（出3:14），祂按照自己不改变和至公义的旨意行作
万事（弗1:11），为的是荣耀祂自己（箴16:4；罗11:36）；祂极其慈爱（约壹4:8，16
），有恩典，有怜悯，恒久忍耐，有丰盛的慈爱和信实，赦免罪孽、过犯和罪恶（出34
:6－7）；祂赏赐那殷勤寻求祂的（来11:6）；同时，祂的审判最为公义，极其可畏（尼
9:32－33）；祂憎恶诸恶（诗5:5－6），断不以有罪的为无罪（鸿1:2－3；出34:7）。
二．上帝拥有一切生命（约5:26）、荣耀（徒7:2）、良善（诗119:68）和福分（提前6
:15；罗9:5），是本乎祂自身，出于祂自身；惟独祂本乎自己，并对自己而言是完全自
足的，不需要祂所造的任何受造之物（徒17:24，25），也不从他们得任何荣耀（伯22:
2-3），却只在他们里面，藉着他们，向着他们，并在他们身上彰显祂自己的荣耀；祂是
万有惟一的根源，万有都是本于祂，依靠祂，归于祂（罗11:36）；祂对他们有至高的统
治权，藉着他们，为着他们，并在他们身上行祂自己所喜悦的事（启 4:11；提前6:15；
但4:25，35）。万有在祂眼前都是赤露敞开的（来4:13）；祂的知识是无限的，无谬的
，不依赖任何受造物（罗11:33－34；诗147:5）；所以，对于祂而言，没有什么事物是
偶然的，或不确定的（徒15:18；结11:5）。祂的一切预旨、作为和命令都是至圣的（诗
145:17；罗7:12）。天使、世人和其它所有受造之物，都当照祂按其美意所吩咐的敬拜
祂，侍奉祂，顺服祂（启5:12-14）。
三．在上帝的统一性中有三个位格，即圣父上帝，圣子上帝，圣灵上帝，同实质、同
权能、同永恒（约壹5:7；太3:16－17；28:19；林后13:14）。圣父既非受生，亦非被发
出；圣子在永恒中为父所生（约1:14，18）；圣灵在永恒中由父和子发出（约15:26；加
4:6）。 | C****i

OF GOD, AND OF THE HOLY TRINITY
1. There is but one only, living, and true God, who is infinite in being and
perfection, a most pure spirit, invisible, without body, parts, or passions
; immutable, immense, eternal, incomprehensible, almighty, most wise, most h
oly, most free, most absolute; working all things according to the counsel o
f his own immutable and most righteous will, for his own glory; most loving,
gracious, merciful, long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth, forgivi
ng iniquity, transgression, and sin; the rewarder of them that diligently se
ek him; and withal, most just, and terrible in his judgments, hating all sin
, and who will by no means clear the guilty.
2. God hath all life, glory, goodness, blessedness, in and of himself; and i
s alone in and unto himself all-sufficient, not standing in need of any crea
tures which he hath made, nor deriving any glory from them, but only manifes
ting his own glory in, by, unto, and upon them. He is the alone fountain of
all being, of whom, through whom, and to whom are all things; and hath most
sovereign dominion over them, to do by them, for them, or upon them whatsoev
er himself pleaseth. In his sight all things are open and manifest, his know
ledge is infinite, infallible, and independent upon the creature, so as noth
ing is to him contingent, or uncertain. He is most holy in all his counsels,
in all his works, and in all his commands. To him is due from angels and me
n, and every other creature, whatsoever worship, service, or obedience he is
pleased to require of them.
3. In the unity of the Godhead there be three persons, of one substance, pow
er, and eternity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost: the F
ather is of none, neither begotten, nor proceeding; the Son is eternally beg
otten of the Father; the Holy Ghost eternally proceeding from the Father and
the Son.
