践行同性恋者能进天堂吗? “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)
这个问题十分复杂,涉及神学的多个方面,基督徒对此的答案并不总是统一的。但在我看来,它本质上是更广泛的问题“罪人能进入天堂吗?”的一个具体版本。我认为,答案是:一些但非所有实践同性恋的人会进入天堂,另一些人则会下地狱。…
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,亚当和夏娃是上帝创造的第一个人类。所有人类都来自亚当和夏娃,在他们之前并没有其他人类种族存在。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准确评估这个问题。一方面,它似乎可能是一个增加团契的好方法,甚至可能是一个很好的传福音工具。另一方面,它似乎会以一些值得怀疑的方式将教会与商业合并。 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异议。在约翰福音2:13-16中,耶稣将那些在圣殿中卖动物和兑换货币的人赶出去。可能,这些动物的出售是为了给那些从远处来到耶路撒冷过逾越节的人提供方便。这些旅客…
我如何能与基督一同坐在天堂里,而我仍然坐在地上? “祂所预定的人,祂也呼召他们;祂所呼召的人,祂也称他们为义人;祂称之为义人的,祂也使他们得荣耀。” (Romans 8:30, CCB)
感谢您的提问。简短的答案是,基督徒已经与基督一同“得荣耀”(罗马书8:30)和“一同复活”(歌罗西书3:1)。在不涉及过多技术细节的情况下,让我试着解释。 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;称义的人又使他们与耶稣基督一同得荣耀 [ edoxasen…
人堕落和洪水之前是否吃肉?
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”循环的制定者。创世纪1:11-12说: 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,在地上各按其类生长。”事情就这样成了。…
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,中间有分歧,我也有些相信。19…
