The force is a power, and powerful personalities can control it and make it to balance to the good or to evil. The POWER BE WITH YOU, is the wish. 在著名的電影「星際大戰」中,他們談到了「暴力」。「暴力」是一種力量,然而一個強 大的人格就有能力來駕御這股力量,使它在善與惡之間達到平衡。這個力量將與你同在, 這個力量,就是智慧。 many western Christians have unfortunately have a similar concept about god. And most of the chinese friends I asked they have .. No idea about the essence of god. 很不幸地,大部分西方的基督徒對於「神」的概念都很類似。而我所問過的中國朋友當中 ,大部分的人對「神的本質」都沒有任何的概念。 When we say ‘essence’ in Greek philosophy we mean what makes things to exist. For example , the book, the table , the chair , the tree , all exist because they are made of wood. So the wood is their essence. We are chinese, japanese etc… but mainly we are humans, so the humanity is our essence. 在希臘哲學的領域當中,當我們說「本質」時,指的是「使事物存在的根本原因」。例如 :這本書、這個桌子、這個椅子、這顆樹,它們都存在因為他們是由木頭造成的。所以, 木頭就是他們的本質。同樣的,雖然我們是中國人、日本人…等不同國籍的人,然而,基 本上來說,我們都是人。所以「人」就是我們的本質。 The essence has characteristics, attributes . For example if you have 4 legs , mouth , tail and you can bark, you are a dog, but if you have 2 legs , 2 hands, no tail, and you can speak you are human. Or if you can fly you are a bird , etc… 本質是有特徵、有屬性的。舉個例來說:如果你有四條腿,一張嘴,一個尾巴,而且你只 會吼叫,那麼你就是條狗。可是如果你有兩條腿,兩隻手,沒有尾巴,而且你可以說話, 那麼你就是個人。或者,例如:你會飛,那麼你就是隻鳥…等。 But essence does not exists like a material. There is always special and individual. For example, there is not human essence, some material, that you can take and make human beings. There is not human essence separated from human being. It is not like a plastic material, that you can use and make many different things, like plastic caps, coats, plastic chairs , toys etc… 但是「本質」存在的方式,和一般物質存在的方式不同。它是特別的、單獨存在的。例如 ,我們無法找出人類的本質,因為,我們無法找到一些物質原料,可以用來創造出人類。 離開了人類的「存有」,就沒有人類的「本質」了。可見,人的本質與塑膠原料是完全不 同的,你可以用塑膠原料製作許多不同的東西,例如:塑膠杯、塑膠外套、塑膠椅子、塑 膠玩具…等。 From this point of view , the essence has priority to anything that is produced . The plastic (=essence) has priority over the plastic cups, spoons, clothes chairs etc… 從這一點來看, 「本質」是先於所有受造的萬物。這個塑膠(=本質),是先於塑膠杯、塑 膠杓子、塑膠衣服、塑膠椅子…等物品的。 The big misunderstanding 天大的誤解 Can we use this ideas for understand God better? We may use , but if we give a new meaning , from the bible and the experience of the church, and not the common philosophical ideas. 是否我們可以利用這個觀念,來對「神」有更深入的瞭解呢?我想,答案應該是肯定的, 但是,前提是我們必須從聖經以及教會的體驗中,汲取一些新的想法,賦予它一些新的意 義,使它不只是一般的哲學概念。 We must understand this , because it became the reason of the divisions between Christians. 我們必須了解這個觀念,因為,它已經成為基督徒分裂的原因了。 1 . We can not compare god with man , and take ideas from man to apply to god 1.我們不可以拿神來和人類來比較,不可以把人類的概念直接應用到神身上。 2. the knowledge of god is different with the knowledge of human things. To know human things , we compare with other existing things , and create a theory. We have nothing to compare god. 2.神的知識和我們人類的知識有著天壤之別。我們可以知道人類的事物,也可以和其它 的存在物做比較,並創造一些理論,然而,我們卻無法找到一樣東西,可以和神作比較。 We know god only because god wants to reveal Himself. The highest knowledge of god is by his Son Jesus Christ. (we will say a lot about this later) (Matthew 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. 我們之所以認識神,只因為神想要向人類顯現自己,神的最高知識,是藉由聖子耶穌基督 而顯現的。(我們稍後還會深入的討論)(馬太福音11:27 一切都由我父交付了我;除了 父,沒有一個認識子;除了子和子所願意啟示的,也沒有一個認識父。 We do not understand things from general ideas but the general ideas from the things. To make it more simple. YOU are mr. or ms. X , you have a name, you are very unique, you are not not just one human being. If I say I am just a human being, some part of the human nature, a number, my id card number, then this is not what I am. 我們無法從一般的概念中理解各別的事物,而是從各別的事物之中得到一般性的概念。讓 我說得更簡單一點。你是X先生或是X小姐,你有一個名字,你是獨一無二的,你不僅僅是 一個人類。但是,如果我說我只是一個人類,是人類本性的某一個部分,我是一組數字, 就像是我的身份證字號一樣,那麼,這樣的東西,並不是真正的我。 We can not make a list of attributes about ideas (like power, kindness, mercy, immortality…. Etc…) and project those ideas to god and say all those things MAKE GOD TO BE GOD. 我們不可以列出觀念上的一堆屬性(例如力量,仁慈,憐憫,永恆…等等),就把這些觀 念投射到神身上,並且說這些屬性的綜合就是神。 The essence 本質 The bible does not makes philosophy. Jesus speaks about a somebody who is very unique, and calls him Father, which means a very unique and special relationship, and gives us the opportunity to enter to this relationship. And he calls him god also. 聖經並沒有創造哲學。耶穌所說的「那一位」是獨一無二的,而且,耶穌稱他為「父」, 這表達了一個獨一無二而且特別的關係,也讓我們有機會進入這個關係當中。而且,耶穌 也稱「那一位」為神。 In bible only once in 2Peter 1:4 is mentioned the word ‘physis’ . 在聖經中,只有彼得二書1:4 有提到「本性」(physis)這個字。 In bible we have persons who act and talk. : the father the son the holy spirit. 聖經中,我們談到的那幾位有: 父 子 聖靈 We call essence the common things that the 3 persons have. 我們把這三位所擁有的共同點稱為「本質」。 God the father exists, IS and HAS. This is called essence. For example the father has life, the son has life , the holy spirit has life. The same for power, wisdom etc…. 聖父存在,聖父是…,聖父有…。這就是所謂的「本質」。例如聖父有生命,聖子有生命 ,聖靈也有生命。其它的例子還有:力量、智慧…等屬性。 For example matthew 11:27 delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. 例如:馬太福音 11:27,我父交付我的;除了父,沒有人知道子;除了子和子所願意指示 的,沒有人知道父。 John 17:10 , And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. 約翰福音 17:10,凡是我的,都是你的;你的也是我的,並且我因他們得了榮耀 。 John 16:13Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 約翰福音 16:13,只等真理的聖靈來了,他要引導你們進入一切的真理;因為他不是憑自 己說的,乃是把他所聽見的都說出來,並要把將來的事告訴你們。 But there are not 3 different lives , or 3 different wisdoms or powers, other for the father, other for the son , other for the holy spirit. 然而,這並不是說,有三個完全不同的生命,或者,有三個完全不同的智慧或力量,還是 ,有些屬於聖父,有些屬聖子,有些則屬聖靈。事實並不是這麼一回事。 There is one life and this life the father shares with the son and the holy spirit. They do not share 1/3 , but each of them has all the life etc…. 只有一個生命,而這個生命是由聖父與聖子、聖靈所共享的,他們並不是只分到其中的 1/3,而是他們每一位,都擁有完整的生命,其它如智慧,力量等等…,也以此類推。 The essence or the person? The big misunderstanding 本質?位格?天大的誤解 Pay attention to the following because is one of the main differences between the christians 請注意接下來的討論,因為這是基督宗教之間最主要的差異之一。 What is the most characteristic in god? The power, the life etc… which is the essence or the Persons, the Father, the son and holy spirit, and which of them? 神最主要的特徵是什麼?是力量、生命…等嗎?那一個才是神的本質?是聖父、靈子、聖 靈,還是這三位都是? For example the son of god is god because he participates in the essence of god? 舉個例來說:神之子就是神,因為他分享了神的本質? as Christians we believe that the Father, the Son the holy spirit are Gods, then how we say that we believe to one god? What makes god to be one? 身為一個基督徒,我們相信,聖父、聖子、聖靈都是神,但是,我們如何能夠說我們相信 的是一個神?是什麼因素使神成為一個? The answer of the bible, the answer of the life of the church is that what makes god to be one is THE FATHER. 聖經上的答案以及教會生活中的答案一致認為:使神成為「一個」的因素是「聖父」。 The western people , misunderstood , and influenced of the roman state and law ideas, they say the essence of god ,makes god to be one. 西方人受到羅馬政府和法律概念的影響,產生了誤解,所以,他們說:是神的「本質」使 他成為「一個」神。 This is opposite to what Jesus revealed to us, and what the bible says. 這個觀念,和耶穌給我們的啟示完全相反,也和聖經所說的不同。 In exodus 3:14, god says God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. God does not says I am the essence. 在出埃及記 3:14中,神對摩西說:「我是自有的。」又說:「你要對以色列人這樣說: 『那自有的打發我到你們這裡來。』」神並沒有說「我就是本質」。 In the old testament , but specially in the new all god is Personal, the Father. Exists by himself, is the self-life, has no origin. But this Father, is the reason by 2 different ways of other 2 persons. The Son and the Holy spirit. We cannot say that he created them, because this means that they did not existed in time, that it was some time that the Son or the Holy spirit did not existed. 在舊約裡,特別是一些晚出現的經典裡,所提到所有的神都是「那一位」,也就是「聖父 」。神自存者,他本身就是生命,沒有其他的源頭存在。但是,藉由兩種方式,還有另外 兩位,也就是「聖子」和「聖靈」的存在,聖父成為萬物存在之「因」。然而,我們不能 說,聖父創造了他們,因為這裡所說的「他們的存在」,超越了時間的概念,所以,我們 不能說,在某一個時間點,聖子、聖靈並不存在。 So the father is the source of the persons of the Son and the holy spirit. This is the meaning of John 14:28 .. for my Father is greater than I. (greater from human point of view, because Jesus is human, and from God point of view because Jesus is the Son of the Father, the Father is his reason) 所以,「聖父」是「聖子」及「聖靈」的源頭,這也是約翰福音 14:28的意義。因為「父 」比我大(「比較大」這個概念是從人類的角度出發的,因為耶穌是人,而從神的角度來 說,因為耶穌是「聖父」之子,「聖父」就是他的因)。 三位一體並不是指 三位 + 一體 = 四個個體(1/2) Chinese language has different structure from Greek language, in which (greek) the theological concepts and terms are expressed. So by the一 體 what do they mean? 中文和希臘文的結構並不相同,而這個神學的概念卻是由希臘文所陳述的,那麼,「一體 」所指的究竟是什麼呢? Something like a somebody which has one body and 3 heads, or 3 faces? Actually a roman god Janus was one body but 2 faces. If they mean that this一 體 is the essence of god, is correct, but still needs to be more clear. 這就好像有一個人,他有一個身體,但卻有三個頭或三張臉?事實上,在羅馬的神雅努斯 ,就是擁有一個身體但卻有兩張臉的神,如果他們用這個概念來說,一體就是神的本質, 那麼是正確的,只是說的還不夠清楚。 Clear means to understand that god is ONE, because there is 說得清楚一點,我們說「神是一體」,那是因為: one reason of the Son and the holy Spirit 神是聖子及聖靈唯一的因。 One initiator 神是唯一的創始者。 One source 神是唯一的源頭 Out of time 超越時間 Out of space 超越空間 The Son is born (not created in time) from the essence of the Father, which means from the Father himself. 聖子是從聖父的本質裡誕生的(不是在時間的概念中誕生),意思是說,聖子來自於聖父本 身。 But because of the lack of philosophy the Latins specially st Augustine misunderstood the concepts 因為拉丁民族在哲學概念上的缺乏,所以聖奧古斯汀誤解了這個概念。 The trinity and the world 聖三位一體與世界 The holy trinity exists independently of the world. There is nothing in the world that can express 100% how is god. 「聖三位一體」是獨立於世界之外而存在的。這個世界沒有任何的事物可以百分之百的表 達神。 In the world acts IN TIME, and IN SPACE. 因為世界是在時間及空間裡運作的。 What was misunderstood was that the son of god promised to sent the holy spirit. So john 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: , augustin and the western people, because they do not know greek language they thought that son sents the holy spirit also. So the holy spirit has 2 who can sent it. The Father and the son. 若說聖子允諾要派遣聖靈,這也是一種誤解。因為約翰福音 15:26說:「當護慰者,就是 我從父那裏要給你們派遣的,那發於父的真理之神來到時,他必要為我作證。」奧古斯汀 因和西方的人,因為他們不了解希臘文,所以他們認為聖子也可以派遣聖靈。若如此,聖 靈就會受到兩位的派遣,也就是聖父及聖子。 But this is very wrong and cannot be accepted. It is wrong because there are 2 different words in greek language, but in latin, english and from this in chinese they undertand as one. 然而,這是一個非常嚴重且不可被接受的錯誤,錯誤的原因在於,在「希臘文」中,這是 兩個不一樣的字,可是在「拉丁文」、「英文」以及由這兩種語言所翻譯過來的「中文」 ,都被理解為同一個字。 Πεμψω is different from εκπορε 更多正教會文章,請見:http://theological.asia -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ※ 轉錄者: alchem (36.232.213.225), 時間: 10/30/2013 00:29:20 我相信 Trinitas(拉丁文),Triune God,譯為三一 神、三一真 神、神聖三一、三 位一體、三一神論---獨一的 神,有三個位格,不是三位神。 Trinitas,Triune God, 不是聖經的用語,而是渺小有限的人類對偉大無限的 神,最貼近的描述,這是公元 325 年第一次尼西亞公會議(或稱第一尼西亞會議)的《尼西亞信經》所建立。此會議乃基督 教歷史第一次的世界性主教會議,確立了一些影響深遠的宗教法規和現今普遍基督教會接 納的傳統教義,已經經過將近 1700年歷史的考驗。 三一論的主張:聖父、聖子、聖靈為同一本體(本性)、三個不同的位格,第一次尼西亞 公會議以希臘語 homoousios 來表達神聖三一之間的關連。三個位格爲同一本質,三個位 格為同一屬性。簡單地說,僅有獨一的 神;聖父完全是 神,聖子完全是 神,聖靈完 全是 神;聖父不是聖子,聖子不是聖靈,聖靈不是聖父。 渺小有限的人,對偉大無限的 神,無法參透,這是奧秘,所以任何人,當然包括我,對 神聖三一的描述,無法完全。 你drea只讀李常受,對上述典故與真理的無知,並不令人意外,除了相信「李常受四一神 」等等異端,你還懂些什麼?要來胡鬧,也要有一點點起碼的底子,別被正統基督信仰, 看扁成「觀天井蛙」與「被洗腦的紅衛兵」才好。 召會「李常受四一神」官方網站如下: http://blog.xuite.net/churchinyl/wretch/107927529 召會台灣福音書房出版品,晨興聖言,說到「四一神」如下: 《晨興聖言》──包羅萬有的「一」的異像、經歷與實行(9 7年4月台灣初版,第141頁 ,第八周,周二。) 《以弗所書》四章四至六節裡,「四而一」的「生機實體」與《啟示錄》一章二十節裡的 「金燈台」相符。「基督的身體」既是「三一神」,與蒙祂救贖並變化之人的調和,因此 「身體」本身就是「一」(弗1: 4-6)。 按照(弗4:4-6),「基督的身體」──「召會」乃是「四而一」──父、子、靈和身體 :至終,「召會」──「身體」,就是一班蒙救贖、得重生,且與「三一神」聯結,並與 「三一神」調和的人(弗3:16-21)。 (弗4:4-6)啟示「四個人位」──一個身體、一位靈、一主、一位神,與父──調和在 一起,成為一個實體,作「基督生機的身體」: 1.「父」是源頭,「子」是成分,「靈」是素質;這三者都與「身體」調和。 2.「父」具體化身在「子」裡;「子」實化成為「那靈」,祂們都在我們裡面;因此我們 是「四而一」── 神聖又屬人的構成──(約14:10-11、16-17、20,弗3:16-21)。 3. 因著「父、子、靈」都與「基督的身體」是「一」,我們可以說,「三一神」現今乃 是「四一神」;這四者就是「父、子、靈與身體」(4:4-6)。 李常受在台眾有一次講道,解釋「四一神」說:「三一神今天乃是四一神。三而一的神在 祂還沒有經過種種過程以前,這三一神是彼此互相內在的,沒有人性被帶到祂裏面;可是 到了今天人性已經被帶到神性裏;三一神今天乃是四一神。那有人說小心一點,我們是不 是在講異端?三而一、四而一,是聖經沒有的辭;三一和四一,是在說明聖經的一個真理 。第二、我們要表達的是,你不要講召會是四而一的神。當我們講基督的身體是四而一時 ,一點也沒有說我們進到神格。基督的身體,召會,今天是四而一;是在神的生命和性情 上,與祂聯結和調和。」 李常受否認三一 神,並且說人也是神,並且形容天主教與基督教是被撒但利用的墮落撒 但系統。請參見他的謬論如下: "....To split the Godhead into these separate Persons is not the revelation of the Bible....
