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。…
七种赞美
通常,当有人提到这几点时,他们正在寻找以下内容(来自斯特朗的希伯来词典): 1. YADAH 用伸出的手敬拜。 在敬拜和崇拜中全然降服。 向主举手。 它包含了像小孩对父母一样的全然降服——“抱我吧,我是你的”。 经文:创世纪29:35,历代志上7:6,20:21,诗篇9:1,28:7,诗篇33:2,42:5,11,49:18,以赛亚书12:1 3034…

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…
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)…
