耶稣以俯伏的姿势祷告 - 马太福音 26:39
马太福音 26:39 耶稣又往前走了一点,俯伏在地,祷告说,"我父啊,倘若可行,求你叫这杯离开我。然而,不要照我的意思,只要照你的意思。" 姿势 在伊斯兰教中,人们通过各种姿势祷告,包括弯腰俯伏在地(这里指从腰部弯曲,面部朝向地面)。穆斯林按照阿拉伯语中的 salah 或 salat 仪式祷告,五次朝向麦加的卡巴圣殿。在伊斯兰教中,人们认为耶稣在马太福音…
亚当和夏娃在堕落之前有孩子吗? “我必使你成为大国,我必赐福给你,使你声名远扬。你必成为别人的祝福。” (Genesis 12:2, CCB)
感谢您的提问。我将提供几个理由,解释为什么我认为亚当和夏娃在堕落前没有孩子。 首先,圣经教导说,亚当和夏娃是上帝所创造的最初的人类。所有的人类都来自亚当和夏娃,在他们之前并没有其他人类存在。亚当和夏娃并不是从一大群人中选出来作为故事中的典范。 路加在 “祂从一人造出万族,让他们散居世界各地,又预先定下他们的期限和居住的疆界,” (Acts 17:26, CCB)…
教堂里的咖啡店
我不确定如何从圣经的角度来评估这个问题。一方面,这似乎是一个增加 fellowship 的好方法,甚至可能是一个很好的传福音工具。另一方面,这似乎会把教会与商业以某种值得怀疑的方式合并。 反对理由 你们可能知道,耶稣对他在世时在圣殿中经营的商业活动有重大问题。在约翰福音 2:13-16…
我如何能与基督一同坐在天堂中,而我仍然坐在地上?
感谢您的提问。简短的答案是,基督徒已经与基督一同“荣耀化”了(罗马书8:30)和与他一同“升到高处”(哥林多后书3:1)。在不涉及过多技术细节的情况下,让我解释一下。 为了简要理解保罗论点的力度和完整性,我们来看看这三段经文: 罗马书8:30:他预先知道的人就预先定下,叫他们与耶稣基督的形象相似;他预先定下的人又呼召他们,得呼召的人又称他们为义;称义的人又 荣耀他们 [ edoxasen ]。…
人类在堕落和大洪水之前吃肉吗? “而是靠无瑕无疵的代罪羔羊基督的宝血。 基督是上帝在创世以前预先拣选的,却在这末世为你们显现。” (1 Peter 1:19-20, CCB)
圣经并没有具体回答这个问题。然而,我们可以简要地考察一些论点。第一个论点假设在堕落之前根本没有死亡。因此,人类不能吃动物,因为动物不能死亡。 那么,在人类堕落之前,是否有死亡呢?有的。神是“种子”循环的安排者。 创世纪 1:11-12 写道: 上帝说:“地要长出青草和结种的菜蔬,并结果子的树,每样树要结果子,果子里面有它的种子。”事情就这样发生了。…
犹大是否参加了圣餐? “所以,人要先自我省察,才可以吃这饼喝这杯。” (1 Corinthians 11:28, CCB)
这里有三个主要问题需要回答:(1)哥林多前书11章关于圣餐说了什么?(2)犹大是否参加了圣餐?(3)耶稣是否正确地主持了圣餐? 哥林多前书中的圣餐 保罗在哥林多前书11章讨论了圣餐。他说: 哥林多前书11:17-34:17 我对你们所行的事,并没有称赞你们,因你们的聚会不是益处,反倒有害。18 我听说你们聚会的时候有分裂,这话我也信了。19…
