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…
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…
Different Levels of Hell
In the Bible, there are a number of different words for the abode(s) of the deceased. In the Hebrew Old Testament we find terms like "new earth," "Sheol," "Abaddon" and various words for "the pit."…
Wasn't hell made for the Devil and his angels and not real people?
Matthew 25:41: Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. Absolutely not. Hell was made for the unrepentant and…
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…
Theological Flowerbeds - D.A.I.S.Y. vs. T.U.L.I.P.
Calvinism is more than a mere five points; it includes the entire Bible. Such documents as the Westminster Confession of Faith barely skim the surface of what true Calvinism means. Among other things…
Freemasonry and Idolatry
Thanks for your question. This is a topic very close to my heart as my own father was a Mason. When he died he didn’t go to Heaven. Though a devote Freemason, he never knew Christ as his Lord and…
Homosexuality or Inhospitality? - Genesis 19:5
Genesis 19:5 (KJV) And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. Genesis 19:8 (NIV) Look, I have two…
Make Your Calling and Election Sure - 2 Peter 1:10
Romans 8:29-30 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called…
Can you explain Romans 11?
An answer to this question is quite involved, so it will be rather long and covered in four sections. Romans 11:1-10 I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an…
Will Old Testament animal sacrifices be restored when Christ returns?
While there are different views concerning this, from what I consider the correct view of eschatology, which is amillennialism, I would say there absolutely will be no animal sacrifices. Let's divide…
What is the covenant of salt?
All covenants (Heb. beriyth ) speak of both blessing and cursing (please see "Covenants in General" below), but the covenant of salt is particularly interesting. Some scholars note that salt in the…
Calvinism and John 3:16?
John 3:16 is probably the first verse that most in the Christian faith memorize. It is more than likely the most misinterpreted verse in Scripture. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave…
What is the meaning of Day in Genesis 1?
I previously wrote that the Hebrew word yom in Genesis 1, literally means a 24-hour Day, as supported by: (1) Yom's Sabbath Day usage in Exodus 20:9-11 (cf. Gen. 1:1-2:3). (2) Yom's appearance with…
What is Freemasonry?
Freemasonry is a cult. Briefly, Freemasonry is a fraternal order that traces itself back to the stone masons. There are three basic degrees of Masons: (1) Apprentice, (3) Journeyman or Fellowcraft…
Was Peter the First Pope?
Thanks for your question. The short answer is "No." Let's look at this issue. Briefly, the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) teaches that the Apostle Peter was the first pope, upon whom God chose to build…
Calvinism and 1 Timothy 2:4, 6?
Thanks for your question. The Reformed faith teaches that Jesus died only for the elect and not for every single person in the world. See "Calvinism and Titus 2:11?" and "Calvinism and 1 John 2:2?"…
What is the New Lord's Prayer?
The "real" Lord’s Prayer is seen in Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4. The so-called "New Lord’s Prayer" (or NLP) reads as follows: Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name; Thy kingdom come…
Explaining Romans 7:14-25
Romans 7:14-25: For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold under sin. For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now…
Hahn's Hersey: The Four Cups?
Dr. Scott Hahn is incorrect. On the Cross Jesus said, "It is finished" (John 19:30), indicating that the work of atonement was completed. Jesus fulfilled the will of his Father (John 4:34; 6:37-40…
Calvinism and 1 John 2:2?
Thanks for our question. Since, I briefly discuss the definition of the biblical doctrine of limited atonement under "Calvinism and 1 Timothy 2:4, 6?" and "Calvinism and Titus 2:11?" (see below), I'm…
