實踐同性戀者能進天堂嗎? “你们要自我省察,看看自己是否真正信主,也要考验自己。除非你们经不起考验,否则,你们应该知道耶稣基督住在你们里面。” (2 Corinthians 13:5, CCB)
這是一個複雜的問題,涉及神學的許多面向,而且基督徒們並不總是給出相同的答案。但在我看來,它本質上是更廣泛的問題「罪人能進入天堂嗎?」的一個特定版本。我相信答案是,一些但不是所有實踐同性戀的人會進入天堂,而其他人則會下地獄。 同性戀是一種罪惡 - 一種可憎的罪惡!但 adultery(姦淫)也是另一種性罪。然而,同性戀並不是對聖靈的褻瀆(通常理解為將聖靈的作為歸因於魔鬼的力量;馬太福音…
我如何能與基督一同坐在天堂之處,而我卻仍坐在地上?
感謝你的提問。簡短的答案是,基督徒已經與基督一同「得榮耀」(羅馬書 8:30)並且「一同復活」(歌羅西書 3:1)。在不涉及過多技術層面的情況下,讓我解釋一下。 要簡要理解保羅論點的力量和完整性,讓我們來看看這三段經文: 羅馬書 8:30: 凡祂預先定下的人,又召選了他們;凡祂召選的人,又稱他們為義;凡祂稱他們為義的人,又 榮耀 了他們 [ edoxasen ]。 以弗所書 2:6: ……又…

The Genre of Hebrews
The epistle to the Hebrews is interesting. We're not sure who wrote it, we're not sure who the Hebrews are, and we're not even sure if it's an epistle. The question of its relationship to the…
Did it rain before Noah's Flood?
Thanks for your question. The Scripture does not specifically answer this question. There are good theologians on both sides of the issue. Some scholar's state there was rain before the Flood, others…

Psalm 37:25 I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. First, in Psalm 37, David reflects on whether the righteous or unrighteous will…

Wasn't hell made for the Devil and his angels and not real people?

Can your briefly explain election in Romans 8:29-30?
I apologize, but this answer even in a very brief form is rather long. But in attempting to keep it as simple as possible: Romans 8:29-30 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be…
When was Hell created?
The Bible does not tell us when Hell was created. While the Bible states that Hell was made for the Devil and his angels (Greek, aggelos , meaning, "sent ones") it does not specify a particular time…
An Eternal Hell is for Real - The Heresy of Annihilationism?
Thanks for your question. This is a humbling issue. The Doctrine of an Eternal Hell is very clearly taught in such historic documents as the The Westminster Confession of Faith (33 - Of the Last…
Things God Can't Do?
Well, depending on how one views the question, there are many more than seven. Since I do not know what the focus of the particular sermon was, I will list just a few: While God can do all things in…
Theological Flowerbeds - D.A.I.S.Y. vs. T.U.L.I.P.

The Re-Newed or New Covenant?
In Jeremiah 31:31 we see God renewing, restoring, or refreshing - not replacing - the covenant with his people. So why do we express the covenant in such terms? While there are a myriad of answers…
KJV-Only, Error of Errors: The 1611 KJV Preface Disagrees with KJO
I appreciate your concern. I grew up with the KJV Bible, and in numerous ways I still enjoy the way it reads, especially its poetic style. I memorized it when I was first saved and I still quote it…
