同一条直线可以从两个不同的点开始吗?

一个非常重要的神学流派长期以来一直反对一个人可以先前存在的观念。那个流派已经要求它的反对者解释这样的事情如何是可以想象的。你怎么能在你存在之前就存在了呢！？我认为许多圣经学生并没有仔细考虑过这个问题，施教者的任务是邀请他们反思。这是一个如此重要的反思，并将决定我们对基督到底是谁的看法。

我坚持认为，如果一个人首先看看在约翰和保罗书信中的森林，而不仅仅只是某些孤立的树木，新约圣经说的是，基督就是希伯来圣经所应许的弥赛亚这个人。在大卫之后的某个时间（见撒下7:14-16；注意使用的是将来时态），他是所应许的神的儿子——即天父【亚乎我】的儿子。大卫的后裔当然是在“大卫之后”长大成人的，因此在先前并不存在！如果这不是所有基督论的第一个前提，我们不妨抛弃圣经作为我们信仰的基础。坚持说大卫的后裔，也是【亚乎我】的儿子，是在他的祖宗大卫之后出生的，这难道不是合理的吗？

弥赛亚的全部意义在于他是人类的一员，而不是神——他不是天父【亚乎我】，也不是天使。他是独一真神天父【亚乎我】——祂的形像——的一个表达，是的，但他仍然是人类的一员。天父【亚乎我】选择按祂旨意生下的一个人所要成就的事情，所有这一切深刻的事实,着实是令人惊奇的。魔鬼总是说“基督太好了，不能是一个人或‘只是人而已’”魔鬼是人类根深蒂固的敌人。他一直无情地反对人类是上帝伟大创造的顶峰。但是，如果天父【亚乎我】如此颁布，而且祂也这样做了，一个调停人可以宽恕罪恶，复活死者，行各种神迹，这个人就可以做到，正如基督作为独一真神的人类代理人和全权代表，所做的那样。

圣经中关于弥赛亚基督是一个人这一点被丢弃了，我认为这是一个很大的危险。正如我所希望展示的那样，“正统基督教”学者们写了大量的书籍来捍卫古老而经典的三位一体论，即基督作为天父【亚乎我】的儿子是先前存在的，然后在道成肉身之时“取了人性”，而实际情况并非如此。我坚持认为一个人若能把这样的理论付诸实践，那就是：1）只有当一个人忘记了天父【亚乎我】在整个旧约中所应许的人类的救主是谁；2）一个人忽略了马太和路加最初清晰明确的基督论，他们在希伯来圣经的期望和应许的基础上，出色地发展了他们的基督论；3）一个人不加批判地审视个人先前存在的整个概念；4）一个人愿意谈论两个神——一种微妙的多神论。

很自然地，我认为约翰和保罗并没有推翻马太和路加的叙述，因此同意他们（马太和路加）关于基督的看法——他们二人经常说——基督是弥赛亚。这就是新约常说的简单明了的话语，这是他们共同的表白。对我而言，设想保罗不同意他的同工路加，或者不同意知道符类福音的约翰，并开始反对他们关于神的儿子弥赛亚起源的明确教导，是混乱的。

是的，儿子的起源，他的开端，他生命的开始，正如希腊文本在马太福音1:18中所记载的那样。记住，根据主流教会的说法，儿子根本不应该有一个开始。他一直都是存在的！这就是三位一体式教学，而一些读者正聚集在这一教学模式之下。

同一个人不能从两个不同的时间点开始（生命）。同一条直线可以从两个不同的点开始画吗？同一个人不可能比他的堂兄小六个月（基督比施洗约翰小六个月），同时又比他年长数十亿岁。我认为，大卫的后裔，而基督必须是（大卫的后裔），不可能成为大卫的创造主，甚至是大卫的祖先。这样的神话并不比《达芬奇密码》中的虚构之事少多少惊人之处。

基督在他自己由马利亚生出来之前就已经存在了的观念（请仔细想想这怎么可能！）并且他在旧约时期是活跃高调的，这与希伯来书1:2清楚明白的经文是矛盾的，即天父【亚乎我】直到新约时期（末世）才通过祂的儿子说话。我不知道语言如何能更清楚地排除三位一体的观点——即儿子在旧约时期实际上是活跃的，在先知们中间说话，明显地表现为一个天使或一个男人。然而，与希伯来书1章的这个矛盾是早期教父们的观点，而这是众所周知的。它后来成为了三位一体教义的基础。

是的，早期教父和护教论者清楚地宣称，是先前存在的儿子在整个旧约时期说话，从对亚当说话开始。他们这样做是在告诉我们，他们是在想象一个不同的，史前人物，因此并非人类的基督。你只是不能先前存在于你自己。若不是两个人你就不能既是一个史前人物也是一个（正常出生的）人。如果儿子已经存在了的话，他就不能再出生，也就是说，不能再次成为存在。哦，他可能被“变形”成为人类的胚胎，但这是一个奇怪的异教徒的想法，更像是转世说。

三位一体学者汉森（A.T.Hanson）在提到这个问题的时候说“这似乎很难理解，耶稣基督的个人先前存在和属于复活基督荣耀的人性。”他坦率地承认，“因此，在第四部福音（即约翰福音）的序言中，不需要任何一个被称为耶稣基督先前存在的教义，只是上帝先前存在的话语（也就是道）。”科林·布朗博士在这一点上更加坚定，他说：

“把约翰福音1:1读成‘太初有子’，显然是错误的。”

同一位科林·布朗博士是富勒神学院经验丰富的系统神学家，他说得很对：“在圣经中若被称为神的儿子，就意味着不是神。”

关于希伯来书1章，汉森说：

“甚至不能肯定的是，儿子的名字被毫不犹豫地应用于先前存在的状态了。希伯来书1:2可以这样说：‘就在这末世，藉着他儿子（的方式）晓谕我们，’这意味着，儿子身份只始于末世，基督成为肉身之时。”

这提供了一个很好的线索。教会教父们错误地宣称，天父【亚乎我】之子在旧约时期经常说话。希伯来书否认这一点。汉森发现了另外一个重要事实，一个三位一体主义者，对先前存在的教义感到困惑：

“令人费解的事实是，与希伯来书同时代出版的，比保罗晚的符类福音书，并没有表现出任何倾向于阐述先前存在的教义。”

换言之，如果符类福音在后新约时期向公众提供信仰，为什么他们对基督作为上帝之子的史前存在根本没有提及？他们怎么会完全排斥一个史前基督？我想，汉森正处于即将放弃他的三位一体教义之际。他承认“事实上，拿撒勒人基督意识到他的神性，并记得他在道成肉身之前的状态，这一历史证据是完全不充分的。”

我认为，关于[儿子]在出生前作为一个有意识的人存在的整个理论是没有根据的，并已经导致了信仰上的冲突和分裂，更不用说一些殉道和暴力的驱逐（开除教籍，教会惩罚，等等）。天使基督和永恒的基督都不是圣经中的基督。圣经中没有儿子上帝。但有一个天父【亚乎我】独一无二的儿子，就是弥赛亚（这个人）。

这个关于个人先前存在的全部概念是从希腊思想中引进的，是在大约公元150年入侵教会的。整个东正教教义体系是建立在克莱门特后书（9:5）的错误前提之上的：“耶稣基督是先从灵生的，后成了肉身。”这与保罗在哥林多前书15:46中所说的是矛盾的，属灵的基督不在亚当之先，而是应该颠倒一下。亚当是先来的，然后是第二个亚当（末后的亚当）。阿道夫·哈纳克（Adolf Harnack）是教会历史学家中的佼佼者，关于克莱门特后书的错误想法，哈纳克正确地说：

“这是一个基本的、神学和哲学信条，在以后的几个世纪里，教会所有关于三位一体的推测都是建立在这个信条之上的，因此它是正统教义体系的根源。”

这些正统的教义将教会成员束缚（捆绑）直到今天。

让我们（1）想一想当我们说“先前存在”的时候，我们指的是什么。（2）仔细听马太和路加，看看他们是否描述了一个已经生活在天堂的有意识的人的这个假设。

关于先前存在：宗教史教授艾伯特·雷维尔（Albert Reville）写道：

“事实上，这两种观念——先前存在和由童女所生——是不能调和的。如果你愿意这样想的话，一个先前存在的人成为了人，把自己降低到人类胚胎的状态，在女人的子宫里不是通过外在的行为而孕育出来的；但受孕是一个人形成的起点，而这个人在这之前并不存在，至少作为一个个体是不存在的。”

圣经上说，【亚乎我】之子是经过受孕（母亲的部分）和出生（天父的行为）而存在的。

听麦凯教授讲讲先前存在作为一个概念所涉及的特殊困难：

“最好从先前存在的问题开始，不仅因为这里有语言上的困难，而且因为它直接引向了所有道成肉身和三位一体神学遇到的主要困难。当我们对某些东西可以先前存在的说法感到畏缩时，我们就一定想知道究竟是什么东西先前存在于什么其他东西了，并且它是在什么意义上这样做的。”

“一个系统论者不需要有任何非凡的敏锐性，就可以注意到，在他们最专业的工作过程中，注释家们是如何成为无意识牺牲品的，而这些工作都是非常教条的（即，不加批判的）系统性假设。”我认为这绝对是正确的。

教会历史专家阿道夫·哈纳克（Adolf Harnack）同意：

“基督在童贞女腹中藉著圣灵奇迹般地成为存在和基督真实的先前存在，是彼此排斥的。后来，事实上很快，人们被迫地承认他们是兼容的。”

潘尼伯格（Pannenberg）很好地阐述了我们的观点：

“基督由童贞女所生与先前存在的上帝之子化身的基督论存在着不可调和的矛盾……[由童女所生]基督首先是通过马利亚的受孕而成为上帝之子的。[先前存在]与此不可调和：神圣的儿子身份最初是在[正如马太和路加所教导的那时]确立的。儿子身份不能同时是先前存在的，其起源仍然是基督通过马利亚的神圣生育……[马太和路加]教导，从他出生起，基督就是上帝的儿子，因为只有他出生了，他才是上帝的儿子……在概念上，先前存在的观点与童女怀孕生子的原始动机不能没有矛盾……先前存在观与童女怀孕生子的矛盾，教父时代的教会显然没有注意到……这种对基督最原始的信仰怎么可能发生如此大的转变？基督如何从死里复活被尊崇，而成为先前存在的从天上降下来的神？直到今日，这仍然是原始基督教传统历史的一个主要问题。”

问题的解决方法是相信马太福音和路加福音所说的，当然还有使徒行传和彼得书信，然后同意保罗和约翰与他们不是矛盾的。天父【亚乎我】之子，直到他超自然地由马利亚而生，才真正开始存在。路加福音1:35应该在高处呐喊。牧师们应该被敦促对这段经文进行全面的阐述。

由童贞女所生的基督这个人——弥赛亚——上帝之子，超自然的成为了存在，毋庸置疑是马太福音和路加福音的教导。试图在他们那里读到一个转世说（或化身说）是一个没有希望的任务，而这只能通过销毁他们的证词来实现。最近，马太福音和路加福音清晰的教导，对先前存在根本没有论及，已经被广泛传播和接受。然而与此同时，惊人的努力和大量的论述，让马太和路加相信一个先前存在的儿子。

道格拉斯·麦卡利（Douglas McCready）说，这些符类福音书不是直接教导，而是隐含了基督是以永恒儿子的身份先前存在的。他转向路加福音，但在一节专门讨论“神的儿子”（几页）的题目中，却没有记下任何有关路加福音1:35的内容。

这可真是一个惊人的现象。加百列的声明提供了圣经中基督作为上帝之子地位的主要钥匙。很少有经文能像路加福音1:35那样清晰地展现自己。实际上，很少有经文能真正地解释自己，但这一节经文真的能。加百列和路加确切地告诉我们，天父【亚乎我】的儿子是如何、为什么、何时、何地出生的。他们提供了一个对天父【亚乎我】之子，适用于基督符合圣经的定义。“因此”（dio kai），也就是说，在马利亚身上行的神迹，“所要生的圣者，必称为上帝的儿子。”马太福音同样清楚地指出，基督的起源（马太福音1:18）是在“马利亚”（1:20）奇迹般的生子中发现的。在希腊语和英语中，“生”的意思是使存在。使存在意味着你并不是已经存在的。语言没有更清楚的方式来告诉我们这一点。马太福音一章重复使用了40遍“生”这个词。他称弥赛亚为大卫的后裔和亚伯拉罕的后裔，然后告诉我们【亚乎我】的儿子是如何成为存在的，是由马利亚（1:20）怀孕而生的，而不是借着马利亚而来。是诺斯替派最先说基督是借着马利亚而来，并以某种神秘的方式是先前存在的。正统派，有一个先前存在的儿子的概念，实际上隐藏着一个微妙的诺斯替派的倾向。哈纳克（Harnack）意识到发生了什么。他谈到了正统派从未脱离“诺斯替派的酵”。

在所有悖论中的悖论就是尼西亚信条实际上咒诅任何说“在基督成为存在之前并不存在”的人。因此，这个信条将马太和路加，和加拉太书4:4中的保罗和约翰一书5:18中的约翰逐出了教会。保罗说儿子是从一个女人开始“存在”的。约翰谈到儿子出生的时候，即开始存在了（gennetheis）。

难怪非常坦率和著名的罗马天主教评论员，雷蒙德·布朗（Raymond Brown），在关于（基督）出生的叙述中，承认路加福音1:35“使许多东正教神学家感到尴尬，因为在先前存在的基督论中，马利亚因圣灵受孕的概念并没有真的带来上帝之子的存在。路加似乎不知道这样的一个基督论[他不是三位一体论者]。对路加而言，受孕与神圣的儿子身份有着因果关系。”

邓恩（Dunn）在这一点上是对的。于是，邓恩顺其自然地甚至放弃了在约翰福音中他对先前存在的信仰。“路加福音比马太福音更明确地断言基督是从出生才有神圣儿子身份的（1:32，35）。但在这里也足够清楚，这是一个出生，一个成为，是可以被看见的，一个将被称为，并且实际上将成为上帝之子，而不是一个先前存在者转变成一个人类婴儿的灵魂，或一个圣者蜕变成一个人类的胎儿…描述（基督）出生的创造性过程，路加的意图是明确的…同样地，在使徒行传中，也看不见任何先前存在的基督论！路加说，没有转世（化身）之说！”

高狄特（Godet）与路加完全一致：“天使用‘因此’这个词暗指他前面的话：他将被称为至高者的儿子。我们可以这样改述：‘正因如此，我对你说……’我们在这里，从天使自己的口中，在他信息的前一部分，我们得到了对上帝之子这一术语的真实解释。在这个解释之后，马利亚只能从这个意义上理解这个称谓：一个人的存在，【亚乎我】祂本人是其直接作者。经文没有传达先前存在的思想。”

同样坦白的是菲茨迈耶（Fitzmeyer），他是《扎根圣经》中路加福音的评论员。他指出，早在公元二世纪中叶，宗教信仰就发生了巨大的变化：殉道者查士丁解读路加福音中的叙述，意思是先前存在的儿子，凭着【亚乎我】的力量和圣灵，在马利亚身上设计了他自己的受孕。先前存在于他自己，他在马利亚身上使他自己成为了存在。查士丁之所以这么做，是因为他认为儿子在旧约时代是完全活跃的，作为世界和不直接与世界打交道的不可言喻的上帝之间的缓冲。

请注意，菲茨迈耶（Fitzmeyer）由于查士丁（公元150年）对路加福音1:35简单含义的阻碍，对所发生的事情有多清楚：

“圣灵在旧约中被理解为是呈现给人类的上帝的创造性和积极的力量。后来教会传统从这段经文中得出了另外一种说法。查士丁写道：‘因此，把上帝的灵和能力理解为在道（Word）之外的任何东西都是不对的，道也是上帝头生的孩子’（护教篇1:33）。在这个（查士丁的）解释中，灵和能力这两个表达被理解为三位一体中的第二位成员。然而，在4世纪之前，圣灵极少被理解为（三位一体中的）第三位……没有证据表明基督的先前存在或化身。路加唯一关心的是表明上帝的弥赛亚的起源是祂创造性的圣灵对玛丽亚的影响。”（他说，在路加福音中能够找到三位一体的元素，而不是教义本身。）

符类福音书的基督论，对所有说基督不是起源于他母亲子宫的猜测来说都是一个障碍。因此，基督这个人被建立和出现，作为人类精神一个可信的模型，以及作为【亚乎我】的羔羊而被选择作为拯救人类的工具，是由【亚乎我】自己构建的。【亚乎我】，而不是大公议会，应该被允许自由选择什么样的救主能足以完成这个任务。我感谢祂慷慨地任命了人类的一员作为调解人、救主和审判官。“凡大祭司都是从人间挑选的”（来5:1）不是从天使中挑选的，而【亚乎我】当然不能自己亲自担当大祭司。

如果救主必须是神，那就很难想象不死的神【亚乎我】是如何死去的（【亚乎我】宣布祂是独一不死的，提摩太前书6:16）即使是一个被创造出来的先前存在的圣天使，也是不死的，也能做到这一点。只有凡人是必死的，正如救主那样为世人的罪而死。所有后来把一个基督分成两位的复杂划分，都不能回答这一点。

再者，如果像三位一体论者所说的那样基督具有“人性”而不只是“一个人”，那么马利亚生了谁？用正统教会的说法相信马利亚生了一个具有“人性”，而不是大卫刚刚开始存在的后裔，真是令人难以置信。希伯来圣经是否应许我们具有“人性”是作为大卫的后裔还是夏娃的后裔？几乎没有。圣经根本不涉及这样的抽象概念，这充分证明了巴特·厄尔曼（Bart Ehrman）和格萨·维姆斯（Geza Vermes）的评论：“基督教采取的官方路线……与历史上基督的实际言行并没有直接的联系。”“与基督充满活力的宗教相比，完全进化的基督教似乎属于另外一个世界。”

“多神论进入了伪装的教会。”

哈纳克（Harnack）指出，当希腊哲学范式被引入解释圣经时，在基督论中就出现了这整个问题：

“教会反对粗暴的幻影说和撕碎基督。但是，一个永恒的存在，道成肉身成为救主，难道不包含一个陈旧的诺斯替派发酵剂的残余吗？‘道的散发’为了创造世界的目的，难道没有提醒我们在[诺斯替主义]中永恒的散发吗？当有两、三个神灵被祈祷的时候，二神论没有被提倡吗？一场斗争开始了……这是教条主义中先前存在的基督压制历史中基督，也就是说，教条主义中虚构的基督压制了真正的基督，用一个俗人无法理解的方式来控制俗人信仰胜利的尝试，并将基督这个人的奥秘放在人本身的位置上。当道（Logos）基督论胜利[即，儿子被重新读回到道中]，传统观点认为最高的神是一位，连同这一点，救主具有真正的和完全的人性的每一个想法实际上在教会中被谴责为是不能容忍的。它的位置被基督的‘本性’所取代，若不是‘一个人’就是一个难解之谜。”

于是大卫宝贵的儿子变成了一个难解之谜。三位一体论者致力于这个观点，即圣子不可避免地先前存在，基督具有“人性”但不只是“一个人”。当基督在未来检视我们所教导的关于他的东西时，谁愿意为这个观点辩护呢？令人高兴的是，在我们这个时代，抗议的声音已经从许多方面出现了。值得注意的是剑桥的J.A.T.罗宾逊，他说：“约翰是新约和犹太教一神论最坚定的一个见证人。”牛津的凯德教授警告我们要提防任何试图把犹太教中的弥赛亚变成是不止是（人）的理论：

“犹太人只相信拟人化的先前存在。智慧是一种拟人化，或神圣的属性，或神圣的目的，但决不是一个人。无论是第四部福音书还是希伯来书，都没有提到【亚乎我】永恒的话语或智慧，迫使我们将其当作是一个人。”

他们在库姆兰也知道这一点，当时他们写道：“通过【亚乎我】的知识，一切都已经成为存在。凡已有的事，【亚乎我】都是按着祂的旨意设立的，在祂之外，一无所成。”（I QS XI.11）。菲罗（Philo）在谈到摩西时说，在犹太人看来，摩西在【亚乎我】的计划中是先前存在的，他是“根据神圣的先见之明，律法的逻辑体现”（nomos empsychos）。难怪约翰会认为基督是恩典和真理的化身——【亚乎我】的表达。

最后，罗马天主教教授罗杰·海特（Roger Haight）在其庞大的基督是神的象征中写道：

“一旦道（Logos）被实体化[即在基督诞生之前就已经存在了]，就有了第二个神的问题。”

这说明了一切。如果多神教是一个问题，我们最好注意一下。

我提醒你们，在KJV圣经版本之前，读过八个英文版本的人没有一个人会被误导读“凡事都是藉着他[圣子]创造的。”他们读到的是“凡事都是藉着它[道，话语]创造的。”只有在罗马天主教Rheims圣经版本的影响下，英语新教版本才将代词改了，引进了一个先前存在的儿子。

为了理解圣经中的神，我们必须回到基督的独一真神那里，在基督的话里，父是“独一的真神”（约翰福音17:3），基督的神，也是亚伯拉罕，以撒，雅各的神。

2013年，教皇弗朗西斯坐在了圣彼得的宝座上，当选成为了第一位耶稣会教皇，从而改变了历史。有一个不成文的规则就是 — 耶稣会士从来不在罗马教廷中担任高级职位。实际上，在1767年，教皇克莱门特十四世颁发了废除耶稣会的法令，因为他担心耶稣会的影响力将会变得非常强大！

那么，现在有什么不同呢？如果教皇是一位耶稣会士（他就是），你知道耶稣会士相信什么吗？在宗教和政治上，罗马天主教会的领袖是一名耶稣会士意味着什么？你需要知道，因为这些都是很有预兆性的。

每日信箱

张婷：我们每日信箱里的第一个问题是，我认为越来越多的人将能够理解这个问题，或者至少，他们可能一直在与自己斗争。来自美国的贝琳达·默里（Belinda Murray）。她写道：“亲爱的WLC，我和我的丈夫都在为如何处理一个让他家庭分崩离析的情况而挣扎。他的哥哥要结婚了，他的父母拒绝参加，因为他要和另外一个男人结婚。

“我的岳父母是非常保守的基督徒，他们认为参加婚礼就是支持同性恋的罪恶。他们也在向其他的家庭成员施压，要求他们抵制婚礼。我的丈夫很伤心。他和弟弟关系密切，他觉得不去参加婚礼对他将来与弟弟的关系会造成不可挽回的损害。我们想做正确的事情，但不确定什么是正确的。有什么圣经的原则可以适用于这种情况吗？”

林峰：嗯。这是个棘手的情况。双方都有可能承受很大的痛苦。随着同性恋婚姻在越来越多的国家被合法化，你可以看到越来越多的人将面临这种情况。

张婷：不仅仅是家人，还有朋友。

林峰：不过，我喜欢贝琳达的问题。它把这个问题带到了它应该在的地方，出于充满感情的观点，并把它放在原则的领域。适用于这种情况的圣经原则是什么？圣经也许不能为每一种情况提供一个详细的解决办法，但是如果你知道圣经原则，你就不会出错。

张婷：那它们是什么？如果圣经没有详细说明，你怎么知道要遵循什么原则？

林峰：好吧，在这件事上，就像在许多其他事情上一样，救主的生命就是我们的榜样。

张婷：哦，是的。我很高兴是这样。

林峰：【亚乎术阿】确实与罪人交往。事实上，这也是那些所谓的“义人”拒绝他的原因之一！

你能为我们读路加福音15章第一节和第二节吗？

张婷：当然，呃… “众税吏和罪人都挨近【亚乎术阿】，要听他讲道。法利赛人和文士私下议论说：这个人接待罪人，又同他们吃饭。”

林峰：这是一段特别有启示意义的段落，因为我们在这里看到，【亚乎术阿】不仅接待罪人。我们都知道那个，作为人类的救主，他“接待”了罪人。但在这里我们看到他也很乐意和他们交往。

现在，请翻到马太福音11章，读第18和19节。

张婷：“约翰来了，也不吃，也不喝，人就说他是被鬼附着的；

人子来了，也吃也喝，人又说他是贪食好酒的人，是税吏和罪人的朋友。”

林峰：不是【亚乎术阿】又吃又喝。每个人都得吃喝，否则他们就会死的。这是因为他在与那些所谓的“义人”因犯罪而被拒绝的人交往时吃喝。

看，法利赛人不会接受，更不用说会与他们认为是罪人的人交往。

我们喜欢认为自己比法利赛人优越，但是，你想想，今天许多基督徒也会有同样的反应，拒绝与那些他们认为生活方式是罪恶的人交往。

张婷：好吧，但是不去和同性伴侣交往，参加他们的婚礼，在他们家吃晚饭，在你的家招待他们，等等……这难道不是在支持他们的罪恶吗？我认为这可能是许多基督徒害怕做的事情，也是他们不愿与罪人交往的原因。

林峰：毫无疑问，【亚乎术阿】与罪人交往。他接待他们。

张婷：好的 …

林峰：他没有参与他们的罪恶。他从不承认罪恶本身。他对那个通奸的女人说了什么？

张婷：“我也不定你的罪，去吧！从此不要再犯罪了。” [约8:11]

林峰：【亚乎术阿】来是为了拯救罪人，所有罪人。不光是你这个普通的罪人，而是所有罪人。罪人被他吸引是因为他们知道他接受他们，尽管他们是有罪的。

张婷：他恨恶罪恶，但是他爱罪人。

林峰：很确切。而且，在爱这个罪人的时候，他觉得没有必要谴责他们的罪。他们已经知道自己是罪人。他给他们的是爱和接受，这也是我们能做的。

定罪是圣灵的工作，不是我们的。我们的工作是用仁慈对待每一个人来展现【亚乎术阿】的爱和接受。

张婷：我听到你在说什么，这很美，但是，好吧，关于不宽恕罪，保罗说了什么呢？罗马书12:9说我们要“恶要厌恶，善要亲近。”

林峰：大多数人不明白的是，保罗实际上把非信徒和那些曾经相信但仍犯已知罪的人区分开来了。

翻到哥林多前书五章，读第9至13节。

张婷：好的…经文说：“我先前写信给你们说：不可与淫乱的人相交。此话不是指这世上一概行淫乱的，或贪婪的、勒索的，或拜偶像的，若是这样，你们除非离开世界方可。

“但如今我写信给你们说：若有称为弟兄是行淫乱的、或贪婪的、或拜偶像的、或辱骂的、或醉酒的、或勒索的，这样的人不可与他相交，就是与他吃饭都不可。

因为审判教外的人与我何干？教内的人岂不是你们审判的吗？至于外人，有【亚】审判他们。你们应当把那恶人从你们中间赶出去。”

所以…保罗在这里说，我们不应该与那些自称是信徒的恶人交往，而不是那些不自称是信徒的人。

林峰：正确。现在，每个人应该如何将这一点应用到他或她自己的个人生活中，这是一个最好由【亚】和个人来决定的问题。如果你问，他会教你在任何情况下应该怎么做。

张婷：另外一件要记住的事是爱能吸引人。谴责把人赶走。

林峰：我最近读到一句我最喜欢的作家的名言。事实上，给我一秒钟把它找到。我最近又读了一遍。是这样说的：“[亚]把我们安置在世上，不是要作审判官的，乃是要显明基督的怜悯。撒但的做法是让别人注意到一个罪人的错误，但这不是[亚]的方式。

“基督是唯一能读懂人心的人，也是唯一能衡量悔改并知道悔改真正价值的人，承担审判罪人责任的人将被认为比他所谴责的人更为有罪。我们做任何事情都要按照[亚乎我]的方式去做，而不是按照我们自己的方式去做，如果我们犯了任何错误，最好是站在仁慈的一边，而不是站在严厉的一边。基督……在每一个细节的经历中，都体现了【亚】。小心对待人类的思想。基督已经为每一个灵魂支付了赎金。”

张婷：嗯。我喜欢这样：如果我们犯了什么错，那就站在仁慈一边来犯错。

好的！下一个问题。这是…嗯。我不知道这是谁发来的，也不知道从哪里来的。这是匿名的，但这是一个很好的问题，我想我们都曾经为之挣扎过。

这个人写道：“我做了一些我知道是错的事情，现在我被内疚和不配的感觉折磨着。我明知自己犯了罪，现在我希望我从来没有犯过罪。我还有希望吗？我失去了我的救恩吗？”

林峰：首先，我想说的是，故意犯罪并不能妨碍你，我们被告知夏娃被欺骗了，但亚当没有。

张婷：哦，对了！他是明知故犯，不是吗？

林峰：对。所以明知故犯并不能把任何人拒之门外。拒绝悔改，并持续叛逆，拒绝给予的宽恕，这将把一个人拒之门外。

翻到启示录12章，读第9和10节，好吗。

张婷：“大龙就是那古蛇，名叫魔鬼，又叫撒但，是迷惑普天下的。它被摔在地上，它的使者也一同被摔下去。我听见在天上有大声音说：“我神的救恩、能力、国度，并他基督的权柄，现在都来到了，因为那在我们神面前昼夜控告我们弟兄的，已经被摔下去了。”

林峰：注意撒但在这里被称为：控告我们弟兄的。这封信的作者充满了罪恶感，因为撒但在指责他或她——我只说“他”会更容易些——撒但指责他故意犯罪。

但我们都是罪人。罗马书3:23说，世人都犯了罪，亏缺了【亚】的荣耀。但这就是为什么【亚乎术阿】被派来的原因！去寻找和拯救失丧的人！

张婷：那是非常真实的。

林峰：我想说这句话，我要对每个人说，因为我们都犯了罪：如果你感到内疚，那就把它当作一种鼓励的信号吧，现在得救还为时不晚。宽容期尚未结束。事实上，你正在与罪恶感搏斗，这说明你还有希望，因为如果你的心真的在罪恶中变得坚硬，如果这对你来说太晚了，你就不会有这种感觉了！你的心会变得如此坚硬，以致于【亚】的灵对你会完全没有影响。

张婷：这是不可饶恕的罪过，不是吗？悖逆并拒绝救恩，直到你的心不再在乎。

林峰：当你感到内疚和怀疑时，要意识到这些感觉是来自撒但：他们是兄弟们的“控告者”。他知道凡到【亚】那里去的人都会被接纳和宽恕。因此，他尽其所能去摧毁任何他所能看到的内心倾向于真理和正义的人。

别听魔鬼的话！不管怎样，去找【亚】吧。不要等着让自己变得更好。你不能。更重要的是，祂不希望你这么做。去祂那里接受祂的宽恕。

张婷：“到我这里来的，我总不丢弃他。” [约6:37]

林峰：阿们。他是在拯救罪人，朋友们！他很乐意这么做！

最后，我想再加一句圣经应许：约翰一书1:9。我相信你已经记住了。

张婷：是的！这是我最喜爱的经文之一。经文说：“我们若认自己的罪，【亚】是信实的，是公义的，必要赦免我们的罪，洗净我们一切的不义；”

林峰：他不但要赦免我们的罪，而且要洁净我们，使我们恢复原样，就像我们未曾跌倒一样。如果你再次受到诱惑，并不意味着你没有被原谅。这只是意味着你有第二次机会选择，你现在就可以选择，靠着【亚】的力量得胜，你有选择的权利。

张婷：非常真实。那是很美丽的。

每日应许

大家好！现在与您正在分享的是每日【亚乎我】话语中应许。

1989年，亚美尼亚发生了一场里氏8.2级地震。不到四分钟，就有三万多人在这次地震中丧生了。除非你有过类似的经历，否则你很难理解那种极度痛苦的绝对程度。许多人的世界都被摧毁了。任何幸存者的生命都将不再相同。

真正的英雄主义也正是从这样的悲剧中产生的。我想告诉你在那段可怕的时间里有一个英雄。这个人是一位父亲。当地震发生时，他的儿子正在上学。当地面一停止震动，他就赶往儿子的学校。在那里，学校所在的地方，只剩下一大堆瓦砾。

我甚至无法想象在他的脑子里一定在想些什么。当然，震惊和恐惧是最重要的。其他的父母也在那里，茫然地走来走去，喊着孩子的名字。但这位父亲的反应不同。那堆瓦砾只会促使他采取行动。他冲到他儿子教室所在的大楼后角，开始挖掘。

你得问问自己“为什么？”他有什么真正的希望？他的儿子奇迹般地逃脱而生还的可能性有多大？

驱使这个人坚持的是一个应许。他向他的儿子保证他会永远在他身边。这给了他希望的动力并给了他身体的力量。

当他挖掘的时候，善意的旁观者试图把他拉开。

“太晚了！”他们说。“他们都死了。你帮不上忙。回家吧。你无能为力。”

甚至连消防队员都试图把他拉开，解释说：“到处都是爆炸和火情。太危险了。你还是回家吧。”

一位通情达理的警官试图让他明白原因。他说：“我知道你很生气。你很难过。但一切都结束了。回家吧。”

但这位父亲已经做出了一个应许，他会遵守的。他对儿子的爱让他挖了八个小时。然后，十二个小时。十六个小时……二十四个小时……三十六个小时。然后，在第三十八个小时，这位父亲搬开一块巨石，听到了他儿子求救的声音。

“阿曼德”他大声喊道。

“爸爸？！是你吗？我告诉他们了！我告诉其他孩子如果你还活着，你就会来找我们的。你答应过你会一直陪在我身边，你做到了，爸爸！”

一位坚定的父亲，决心信守对爱子的诺言；滚开的石头带来了生命和自由。这个故事总是让我想起近二千年前的一个清晨发生的事情。我们的天父卷走了一块更重要的石头，并信守了一个更大的诺言。当他把那块石头从坟墓滚开，让他心爱的儿子复活时，他把永生和真正的自由带到了每一个相信基督的人面前！

好消息是，他还在做滚石头的生意！

现在，我不知道在你的生活中有什么石头。我不知道是什么让你无法得到你想要的幸福和满足。但我知道天父现在正在寻找你。他在筛选所有不是为他而活的瓦砾和生命的废墟。无论你生命中的石头和巨石有多大或多小，他都愿意并有能力把它们滚开，赐给你新的生命。

【亚乎我】信守应许，就像二千年前的那个清晨，当他滚开一块石头时，对他自己的儿子信守应许一样。

使徒行传十三章37至38节说：“惟独【亚】所复活的，他并未见朽坏。所以弟兄们，你们当晓得：赦罪的道是由这人传给你们的。”

我们已经被赋予了伟大而宝贵的应许。现在就开始支取！

三位一体是基督教的基本教义之一。除了少数例外，基督教界的绝大多数人都敬拜三位一体的神。

这个教义是如此的普遍，以至于少数反对它的教派并没有被其他人视为真正的基督徒！

然而，真正令人惊讶的事实是，一个三位一体的神确实无法从圣经中得到支持。它是来源于古老的异教。圣经中提到三位一体神性的一段话，是基督诞生近1000年之后对原文明显的补充！

第一部分：

张婷：Hello! Welcome to WLC Radio. I am Miles Robey, your host, and with me is Dave Wright!

林峰：Hello! Thanks for making us a part of your day.

张婷：You know how, online, it’s easy to “fall down the rabbit hole”?

林峰：Oh, yeah! You click on this link, and scroll through … Oh! That looks interesting, and you click on that link—

张婷：And pretty soon you’re way off topic, don’t know how you ended up there—

林峰：But it sure was an interesting ride getting there!

张婷笑：You do know what I’m talking about!

林峰：Yes. It’s really easy to waste a lot of time clicking on link, after link, after link—

张婷：That’s what I ended up doing last night and I stumbled across an interesting click-bait article. You know, they seduce you into clicking on the next page by only giving you a couple of sentences per page.

林峰：Yeah, I hate that.

张婷：Well, it was about history’s most expensive funerals. When Pope John Paul II died, it was reported it was the largest gathering of heads of state in history, with four kings, five queens, and 70 presidents and prime ministers attending. The funeral itself cost 11.9 million dollars.

[Translators: to convert dollars to Euros, or Yuan, or whatever, use Xe.com.]

林峰：Wow!

张婷：Oh, that’s nothing! When Kim Jong-Il of died in 2011, the cost of the funeral and change-over was forty million.

林峰：Incredible! I’ve told my wife when it’s my time to go, just dig a hole and toss me in. Don’t bankrupt the family with some huge, fancy memorial.

张婷笑：What did she say?

林峰面无表情地：She hit me. [Translators, change this to “He just laughed” if your narrator is female.]

张婷笑：Not a fan of your money-saving measures, huh? Well, today I’ve asked Dave to talk about a memorial. A very specific, heavenly memorial.

Before we get into that, though, let me just explain to anyone joining us for the first time about some terminology you’ll hear on WLC that may be new to you. On both our website, as well as WLC Radio, you will hear us refer to the Creator by His personal name of Yahuwah, or Yah.

You’ve probably come across verses in the Bible that talk about “calling upon the name of the Lord,” but “lord” is simply a generic title. Hindus have Lord Krishna. In , Sir Winston Churchill was the son of Lord Randolph Churchill.

林峰：So, just saying “lord” doesn’t reveal who you’re talking about.

张婷：No. And, in the original Hebrew, it doesn’t say that, either. It actually says “Call upon the name of Yahuwah.”

林峰：The reason we’re to “call upon the name of Yahuwah” is that His name contains a very powerful promise. The name “Yahuwah” actually comes from the Hebrew verb of being, hayah. This is what was repeated throughout Creation week: “Light … be! Light was.”

张婷：“Light … hayah. Light … hayah.”

林峰：Right! So when you combine your need with the verb of being that is the divine name, you have a powerful, powerful promise! BE protected; BE wise; BE comforted. This is what it really means to “Call upon the name of Yahuwah.”

张婷：The Saviour’s name incorporates the divine name, too. “Jesus” comes from the Greek attempt to transliterate the name, Yahushua.

Yahushua means “Yahuwah’s salvation.” It’s what he is.

林峰：Hebrew has titles, too. “El” and “elohim” are the Hebrew equivalents for lord, or god, so you’ll hear that used in some of the Bible passages we read because we like to use the actual names and titles, rather than the generic tiles we have in English/Spanish/Mandarin/etc.

张婷：Okay. Memorials. What do you have planned for us today, Dave?

林峰笑：Well, I’m not sure if “memorial” is the word I’d use … but I suppose it could fit, depending upon your perspective. We’ll go with that.

Have you heard of any memorials that have an “eternal flame”? You know, they’ll have a fire there that never goes out?

张婷：Yeah, uh … well, there’s an “eternal flame” at the Australian War Memorial. I’ve heard that the grave of president, John F. Kennedy also has one.

林峰：Right. A flame that never goes out symbolizes eternal life. So, to have one at a memorial or grave site symbolizes that they will never be forgotten.

The Bible speaks of “ever-lasting burnings” as well, and that’s what I’m wanting to discuss today.

张婷：You’re talking about hell.

林峰：Uh, well, yeah. I suppose so.

张婷：But you don’t believe in an ever-burning hell.

林峰：Well, I’ve changed my mind. Sort of. Let’s say the subject is one of the most misunderstood subjects in Scripture, and that’s why I want to talk about it.

张婷：How’s it misunderstood? Either there is an eternally burning hell, or there’s not.

林峰：That’s what I always thought, too. The fact is, that’s an oversimplification which Satan has used to hide a very beautiful truth.

The truths of Scripture are vast. Profound. But they are harmonious. Sometimes, some passage of Scripture can appear to contradict other passages. When this happens, it is always due to one of two problems:

EITHER: the person has some belief that is incorrect or based on a faulty assumption;

OR: the person has insufficient knowledge.

张婷：I always look at contradictions in Scripture as Yahuwah’s way of saying: “You need to dig a little deeper here.”

林峰：That’s how you should view it! Because, again, truth is harmonious. It will never contradict itself.

The reward of the wicked is one doctrine that Christians argue over. Would you turn to Ecclesiastes 9 and read verses 5 and 6 for us? This is a really clear statement regarding the state of the soul after death. Go ahead and read that as soon as you have it.

张婷：All right. It says, uh …

“For the living know that they will die;But the dead know nothing,And they have no more reward,For the memory of them is forgotten.Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished;Nevermore will they have a shareIn anything done under the sun.”

林峰：So. Is there consciousness after death? Clearly, Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, did not think so, and Yahuwah made sure his writings were preserved in Scripture.

But, the apparent contradiction—and the point Christians argue over—arises from the fact that other passages of Scripture teach about an eternally burning fire that never goes out.

张婷：Yeah. Revelation 14:11: “And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”

林峰：Actually, you’re talking about something else, and we’re going to get to that, because you’re right: this is where a lot of confusion comes in. There’s a difference between “smoke” and “fire.”

Isaiah holds the key to understanding this conundrum. Would you turn to Isaiah 33:14? Here, Isaiah is asking a question.

张婷：All right. It says:

The sinners in are afraid;Fearfulness has seized the hypocrites:“Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?”

林峰：The next verse contains the answer. What does it say?

张婷：

He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly,He who despises the gain of oppressions,Who gestures with his hands, refusing bribes,Who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed,And shuts his eyes from seeing evil:

He will dwell on high;His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks;Bread will be given him,His water will be sure.

Your eyes will see the King in His beauty;They will see the land that is very far off. [Isaiah 33:15-16]

林峰：This is who gets to live with … not die from … the devouring fire and the everlasting burnings of the divine presence.

张婷：Hmmm. That puts a different spin on it, doesn’t it? But I can see that. Hebrews 12:29 describes Yahuwah as a, quote, “consuming fire.”

林峰：Only holy beings can live with a holy god. It’s the righteous who will live and rejoice in everlasting burnings!

张婷：So, what does that even mean? What are “everlasting burnings”?

林峰：Yahuwah is the source of all life. Paul told the men of that in Yah, “we live, and move, and have our being.” [Acts 17:28] Pure, life-giving energy flows from Yah. He is the origin of pure light-energy.

There aren’t many times in Scripture where the presence of Yahuwah Himself is described but in every single instance, the energy flowing from Him is described as “fire.”

Created beings can be in the immediate presence of such indescribable power and not be consumed, but only if they are pure and holy.

张婷：This reminds me of the description of Lucifer in Ezekiel 28. Before his fall, he was the covering cherub. He was right there! He was continually bathed in that omnipotent, pure energy.

Listen to this. It’s Ezekiel 28, verses 14 and 15. It says, quote:

Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of Yah; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

林峰：He could live there because he hadn’t yet fallen. Holy beings are perfectly at home in the presence of the eternal fire of the divine presence.

Daniel saw something similar. Turn to Daniel 7. This is a really fascinating passage because it gives us a physical description of Yahuwah and the impression you’re left with is one of such incredible brightness, it’s like gazing directly at the sun, if you could.

Go ahead. Daniel 7, verses 9 and 10.

张婷：

I watched till thrones were put in place,And the Ancient of Days was seated;His garment was white as snow,And the hair of His head was like pure wool.His throne was a fiery flame,Its wheels a burning fire;A fiery stream issuedAnd came forth from before Him.A thousand thousands ministered to Him;Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.The court was seated,And the books were opened.

林峰：What an incredible glimpse into the heavenly courtroom!

张婷：There’s also the burning bush. When Moses was tending his father-in-law’s sheep, remember?

林峰：Yeah, I see you’ve got that. Go ahead and read it.

张婷：All right. It’s Exodus 3, verses 1 and 2. It says:

Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of Yah. And the Angel of Yahuwah appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed.

林峰：Obviously, this wasn’t Yahuwah Himself, but it underscores the glory that continually surrounds Him when an angel, direct from His presence, radiates the same brilliant energy that surrounds the Father.

Now, go to Exodus 19. After the Exodus, Yahuwah came down to Mt. Sinai to personally speak His law. He came in such a brilliant display of light energy that, to the on-looking Israelites, it looked as though the entire mountain were on fire! Read verse 18.

张婷：“Now Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because Yahuwah descended upon it in fire. Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.”

林峰：The closer you get to Yah, the closer you get to the eternal burnings—that pure energy that is the source of all life in the universe.

Now, what’s really interesting is when you learn the effect this has on those who have the opportunity to get close, but not so close as to be destroyed.

According to Exodus 34, Moses spent 40 days in the divine presence on Mount Sinai. He had spent that time communing with Yah in His immediate presence! So, at the end of those 40 days, Moses’ face reflected Yah’s divine glory.

Let’s read it. Exodus 34. Start at verse 29.

张婷：

Now it was so, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai … that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with Yah. So when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him. Then Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him; and Moses talked with them.

Afterward all the children of Israel came near, and he gave them as commandments all that Yahuwah had spoken with him on Mount Sinai. And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.

But whenever Moses went in before Yahuwah to speak with Him, he would take the veil off until he came out; and he would come out and speak to the children of Israel whatever he had been commanded. And whenever the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone, then Moses would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with Him. [Exodus 34:29-35]

[Music starts to come up.]

林峰：Over and over, Scripture makes the point: the very presence of Yahuwah is “eternal fire” in which only the righteous and holy can survive.

第二部分

张婷：All right, we’ve talked about how the “everlasting burnings” are the very presence of Yahuwah Himself. Only holy beings can survive in the pure energy that flows from His presence.

Let’s talk about the effect on sinners, now. What happens?

林峰：Sin cannot survive the presence of pure, divine energy. This is why, when Moses asked to see the face of Yah, what did Yahuwah say?

张婷：Well, He said no.

林峰：Why?

张婷：Because no one can see His face and live.

林峰：Why?

张婷：Because we’re sinners and He’s holy?

林峰：Right. Yah loved Moses! He didn’t want to destroy him so He could not allow Moses to see His face.

张婷：Well, this really gives force to the concept that sin separates us from Yah.

林峰：It does. Because He loves sinners, Yahuwah had to withdraw in order to give us time to repent and choose to turn to Him.

When your heart is unsanctified, you don’t find joy in the divine presence. You’re terrified! And that’s what happened at Sinai. Moses was in the divine presence and his face glowed.

The people were at the base of the mountain—much further away—and they had a much different response. Let’s read it: Exodus 20, verses 18 and 19.

张婷：All right. It says:

Now all the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood afar off. Then they said to Moses, “You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not Elohim speak with us, lest we die.”

林峰：This will always be the response of unsanctified hearts: fear; trembling; a desire to get away.

Yahuwah’s fire is a consuming fire: it consumes sin. And sinners, if sinners choose to cling to their sin.

This is what happened in the story of Nadab and Abihu. Turn to Leviticus 10 and let’s take a look at that.

Nadab and Abihu were the sons of Aaron. They had been selected to serve Yahuwah directly as priests. But they didn’t value this privilege. Read Leviticus 10:1-2. What does it say?

张婷：

Then Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it, put incense on it, and offered profane fire before Yahuwah, which He had not commanded them. So fire went out from Yahuwah and devoured them, and they died before Yahuwah.

林峰：You’d think they would have felt humbled and honored, but they didn’t. So, for disrespecting Yahuwah, they were killed by fire which came out from Yah.

But we’ve got here an interesting detail I think most of us have missed in reading the story. This detail reveals a lot about the fires of eternal burning. Read verses 4 and 5 and let’s see if you catch it.

张婷：All right, uh …

Then Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, “Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.” So they went near and carried them by their tunics out of the camp, as Moses had said.

林峰：Did you catch it?

张婷：Uhmm … Oh! They carried them out by their tunics!

That’s weird. How did they still have tunics if they burned to death?

林峰：You caught it. They still had their clothes intact. Now, if someone were to point a flame-thrower at you long enough to kill you, what do you think is going to burn up first? Your body or your clothes?

张婷：Clothes, of course. It takes a lot to burn a body, seeing as we’re mostly water.

林峰：Right! This little, overlooked detail gives us a fascinating clue about the fires of Yah’s presence. It tells us that Yah’s fire is not a fire of combustion.

You remember Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.

张婷：Yeah, the “three worthies.” They were sentenced to be cast into a fiery furnace for refusing to bow down to worship the idol Nebuchadnezzar had set up on the plain of Dura.

林峰：According to Scripture, they were cast in fully clothed. In fact, Daniel 3:21 lists everything they were wearing!

张婷：Let me see … uh: “Then these men were bound in their coats, their trousers, their turbans, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.”

林峰：So they’re cast, fully clothed, into this burning furnace and what happens?

Well, they get up and start walking around. Not screaming in agony. Just strolling around. They’re in the fire, but they’re not consumed.

Something was consumed though.

张婷：The ropes that tied them.

林峰：Right! Read verses 26 and 27 now, of Daniel 3.

张婷：

Then Nebuchadnezzar went near the mouth of the burning fiery furnace and spoke, saying, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here.” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego came from the midst of the fire. And the satraps, administrators, governors, and the king’s counselors gathered together, and they saw these men on whose bodies the fire had no power; the hair of their head was not singed nor were their garments affected, and the smell of fire was not on them.

林峰：Their clothes didn’t even smell of fire! The reason is simple: they were standing in the presence of the Most High God. Let’s back up a few verses. Read verses 23 to 25.

张婷：

And these three men, firmly tied, fell into the blazing furnace.

Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisors, “Weren’t there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?”

They replied, “Certainly, Your Majesty.”

He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.” [Daniel 3:23-25]

林峰：This is a great story. It teaches us that all who have surrendered their wills to the divine will and live in harmony with the divine law can live, unhurt, in the consuming fires of the presence of the Almighty.

The three worthies were obedient to the Law of Yah. They could live in the presence of eternal “holy burnings,” and the fire of combustion had no power over them.

张婷：So what you’re saying is, the eternal burnings of Yah’s presence consume away all sin and selfishness.

林峰：Yes. Sin consists of two things: 1) Falsehood. And, 2) Force.

Satan is the father of lies, but the truth that comes from Yah destroys falsehood.

Force is conquered by divine love. In essence, the fiery presence of holiness destroys all sin. Always.

张婷：Isn’t it interesting that when the spirit of Yah was poured out on Pentecost, the believers were allowed to see part of that holy fire? The fire of the divine presence?

Listen while I read Acts 2, verses 3 and 4:

Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

林峰：Hair is flammable, but none of the believers were consumed by the divine fire! Why? Because, through faith in the blood of Yahushua, they were justified and stood before Yah as though they had never sinned. They could stand with the “eternal burnings” and not be consumed because the merits of Yahushua’s righteousness had been credited to their accounts.

张婷：Hmmm. Beautiful.

Let’s talk for just a moment about the doctrine of an eternally burning hell. Now, obviously, the “eternal burnings” of Yahuwah’s presence are something different. So, what can you tell us about hell?

林峰：The doctrine of an eternally burning hell is based on a false premise: that Adam and Eve were given eternal life at Creation. Therefore, the reasoning goes, when they sinned and had to be punished, Yahuwah had no choice but to consign them to eternal life in torment.

This belief is not based on Scripture.

张婷：Well, no. I think it’s 1 Timothy 6:16 that states, unequivocally, that only Yahuwah has immortality.

林峰：Go ahead and read that if you’ve got it.

张婷：All right. It’s describing Yahuwah here: “He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power.” [1 Timothy 6:15-16]

林峰：According to 1 John 4, verse 8, “Yahuwah is love.” But He is more. He is also just. As a god of pure love and complete justice, Yahuwah did not want to give eternal life to anyone who had not yet made the choice of whom to serve: Him, or Satan.

张婷：Yeah, that’s been the biggest problem I’ve had with the doctrine of an eternally burning hell. How is it loving or just to consign even the worst sinner to an eternity of torture? At some point, that is no longer “just.”

林峰：It’s not. Eternal life is a gift. It’s given only to those who overcome through faith in the merits of Yahushua.

张婷：Romans 6:23: “The wages of sin is death; but the gift of Yah is eternal life through Yahushua Christ, our Lord.”

林峰：The punishment for those who choose to cling to sin is not eternal life in torment. It’s death. Period.

张婷：You had said in our first segment that the doctrine of an eternally burning hell confuses the subject of the eternal burnings of Yahuwah’s presence …?

林峰：Yes. People start viewing this as an either/or situation. Either there are eternal fires (those who believe in an eternally burning hell) or there are not (those who don’t believe in an eternally burning hell.)The truth is more nuanced. There is only one eternally burning fire, and that is the pure energy radiating from the personal presence of the Almighty. The righteous—those who have allowed the spirit of Yah to cleanse them—will dwell forever in the eternal burnings of the presence of Yah.

This is the same fire that will utterly consume the wicked—those who have chosen to cling to their sins and refused purification.

Isaiah 33 explains this the best. Would you turn there and read verses 10 to 16?

张婷：Sure … it says:

“Now I will rise,” says Yahuwah;“Now I will be exalted,Now I will lift Myself up.You shall conceive chaff,You shall bring forth stubble;Your breath, as fire, shall devour you.And the people shall be like the burnings of lime;Like thorns cut up they shall be burned in the fire.Hear, you who are afar off, what I have done;And you who are near, acknowledge My might.”

The sinners in Zion are afraid;Fearfulness has seized the hypocrites:

“Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?”

He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly,He who despises the gain of oppressions,Who gestures with his hands, refusing bribes,Who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed,And shuts his eyes from seeing evil:

He will dwell on high;His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks;Bread will be given him,His water will be sure.

林峰：The pure energy of Yahuwah’s presence is a consuming fire: it consumes sin wherever sin exists. Again, this is why sin separates us from Yahuwah. It literally separates us because if He didn’t withdraw, we would be destroyed.

So, in His love for us, He withdraws His immediate presence and, in its stead, sends His breath, His “spirit” into the world to consume away the dross of everyone who is willing to be cleansed. Then, when Yahushua comes, everyone who has submitted to being purified will be taken to Heaven and can live, unconsumed, in the eternal fires of Yahuwah’s presence.

张婷：And everyone who refuses to be separated from sin are consumed.

林峰，同意：In 2 Thessalonians 2:8, Paul refers to when, quote: “The lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.”

That is the true “fires of hell” and it will destroy all who refuse to be purified and choose to cling to sin instead.

张婷：What do you do with Revelation 14:11 that says, “The smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever?”林峰：The smoke of their torment; not the flames. Have you ever been around a super-hot fire? It doesn’t smoke. However, you throw a bucket of water on that fire, you put the fire out, and what happens?

张婷：You get a roomful of smoke.林峰：Right. The smoke means that they’ve been consumed. It’s over. It doesn’t mean that they’re suffering eternally. It means the fires of the divine presence has consumed all evil and sin and sinners are no more.

每日信箱

张婷：Today’s question is coming to us from Portugal. Hey, did you know that Portuguese is the sixth most commonly spoken language in the world?

林峰：That’s interesting, coming from such a small country. But I suppose, they’ve got Brazil, too.

张婷：More than that. Portuguese is spoken in a total of nine countries worldwide.

林峰：Huh! You learn something new every day!

So, what’s the question?

张婷：Jaco Mendes of Amadora writes: “What is your stance on corporal punishment? What does the Bible say and why?”

林峰：Hmmm. That’s not as easy to answer as you might imagine. First, the Biblical principle is best summarized in Proverbs 22, verse 6, which says: “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Our responsibility as parents is to train up our children to have characters fit for Heaven.

张婷：Does that include spanking, though? Proverbs 13:24 says, quote:

“He who spares his rod hates his son,But he who loves him disciplines him promptly.”

林峰：Yes, and Proverbs 22:15, says: “Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.”

The thing that makes this a bit more complicated is the fact that there are countries in which corporal punishment is illegal.

张婷：Last I heard, there were over 50 countries worldwide that have outlawed spanking.

林峰：I want to focus on principles here. I don’t want to get into the nitty-gritty of the pros and cons of spanking. Each parent will need to decide that for themselves.

张婷：Did you spank your kids?

林峰：Actually … we did. Rarely, and for one thing only: defiant disobedience of clearly understood parameters.

But, again, let’s focus on principles. The principle being taught in Scripture is that parents are responsible for training their kids.

张婷：In other words, for disciplining them.

林峰：How do you define discipline?

张婷：Well, it’s not a bad thing. I mean, soldiers and athletes, musicians, they’re all very disciplined.

林峰：Right. Why don’t you look up the definition in your dictionary there? What does it say?

张婷：Uh, it says, quote: “To instruct or educate; to inform the mind; to prepare by instruction in correct principles and habits; as to discipline youth for a profession, or for future usefulness.” That’s interesting. It also means: “To correct; to chastise; to punish.”

林峰：We generally focus on the narrow definition of, “to punish,” but discipline is so much more than that. Discipline, in the truest sense of the word, is training. As parents, we’re to do far more than train the child to say, “Yes, ma’am” and “No, sir.” We’re wanting to cooperate with Yahuwah and train their characters to be men and women of Yah.

张婷：I was just scanning up the page. Above the word “Discipline” is the word “Disciple.” One of the definitions of disciple is, interestingly enough, “to discipline.”

林峰：That is interesting. Discipling our children, drawing their hearts to Yah, is one of the most sacred tasks we have as parents.

张婷：So, how do we do this? Any practical pointers?

林峰：Well, again, Proverbs 22:6 says it best: “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”

This is important. Being a parent, discipling our children, means that we do more than punish for misdeeds. We must also instill the good traits of character we wish to see: honesty, kindness, a good work ethic—

张婷：Following truth regardless of the cost …

林峰：That’s a really important one. And the way this is done is through godly discipline. You start training them from the cradle to be self-disciplined and self-controlled. The best way to do that is to teach them to obey the very first time Mum or Dad ask. Otherwise, you’re giving the child tacit permission to disobey until the adult’s voice reaches a certain decibel.

张婷笑：Yeah … I’ve seen that type of parenting before.

林峰：Discipline isn’t a bad thing. In fact, it’s a very important thing, and vital for our Christian walk. The manner in which a child is disciplined is less important than the spirit in which it is done.

张婷：What do you mean?

林峰：Never, ever discipline a child in anger. All that teaches is that whoever is the biggest or strongest gets his way. It produces a bully or a child who obeys just because he’s too afraid not to. That is not how we win their hearts for Yah.

张婷：More than that: if a child is afraid of his earthly parent, and then he’s told that Yah is his “father”, he’s going to be afraid of Yahuwah! And that’s a disservice, both to the child and to Yah.

林峰：Turn to Luke, chapter 18. Read the first six verses. It’s the sixth verse that I want to focus on, but we need it in context.

张婷：Okay, give me just a second … It says:

At that time the disciples came to Yahushua, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

Then Yahushua called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.Whoever receives one little child like this in my name receives me.

“But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”

林峰：We cause our children to sin when we misrepresent the character of the Father, and we misrepresent the character of the Father as the kind, loving, just being He is, when we discipline in anger.

张婷：Wise words. That’s good.

All right! We’ve got time for one more question. This one’s from Lola and Elías in Choloma, Honduras. They write: “We are members of a small Bible study group that meets weekly. We’ve been going through the writings of Paul. Could you please explain what Paul is referring to when he talks about rest in Hebrews 4?”

林峰：Certainly! Hebrews 4 is a continuation of the themes Paul is discussing in chapter three. He outlines three “rests” here.

The first “rest,” of course, is found in Yahushua. He’s our High Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. Because of his death, we can stand before Yah as though we had never sinned; because his merits are applied to our life’s record.

张婷：Not to mention the merits of his life: the merits of his sinless life are also credited to us, as though we had always made right choices and honored Yah.

林峰：That’s justification by faith: righteousness by faith. That’s the first rest. When we invite him to live in our hearts by faith, we can rest from our own efforts at self-righteousness.

The second rest is the one believers have looked forward to since the promise was given at the fall, and that is the ultimate rest we’ll experience in the New Jerusalem.

A handful of humans have experienced that, of course. Moses and Elijah after being taken to Heaven. Enoch.

张婷：Those who were raised with Yahushua at his resurrection. Obviously, it’s a promised rest, so not every believer goes there immediately upon death.

林峰：Right. The third rest is that of the seventh-day Sabbath. This is a weekly reminder that if we will continue throughout our life on earth to accept the gift of justification by faith, we will one day enter into the ultimate rest of the heavenly Canaan.

张婷：Now, a lot of people that have been taught the law was “nailed to the cross,” or that the Sabbath was “done away with at the cross” point to Hebrews four to support their beliefs. Give me just a second to turn there … It’s, uh …

Here it is. Hebrews 4, verses 9 and 10. It says, quote: “There remains therefore a rest for the people of Yah. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as Yah did from His.” Unquote.

So, what would you say to someone who claims that this passage is proving that the Sabbath commandment is no longer binding?

林峰：Actually, I find it rather ironic that this passage is being used this way. In these verses, we’re being urged to enter the very rest which Yahuwah entered. And what rest was that? What rest did Yahuwah do when His work was finished?

张婷：Uh, well … the Sabbath!

林峰：Exactly! These verses are saying the exact opposite of doing away with the weekly Sabbath. Instead, they are urging us to enter the same rest Yahuwah did when His labors were over, which was the weekly Sabbath.

Paul isn’t nailing the Sabbath to the cross. Just the opposite. He is establishing the continuing nature of the Sabbath as a rest that is available for the people of Yah throughout all time. This is the rest that awaits us if we’re faithful.

张婷：That actually makes sense. Especially when you remember Isaiah 66:23 which says we’ll be keeping Sabbaths and New Moons even in the earth made new!

林峰：The thing we always have to remember is that Yah’s law is a transcript of His perfect character. To do away with part of the law would be to say He is not perfect, and therefore not God.

张婷：Not to mention the inconsistency of getting rid of one commandment while saying the other nine are still binding.

I’m so thankful we can rely on Yahushua’s righteousness, aren’t you? He kept the law perfectly!

每日应许

This is Elise O’Brien with your daily promise from Yah’s word.

Blair Jacobson had graduated high school and signed up for a term of study in England. His mother, Brenda, decided to travel to England with him and spend a few days exploring London before returning home.

After several days pleasant exploration, mother and son went to Hyde Park. Blair wanted to find a quiet spot and lose himself in a book, so they both agreed to meet back at a certain time. As Blair sauntered off to find himself a quiet park bench, Brenda decided to find a quiet spot for herself and soon found a bench near some softly rustling bushes. She lay down, enjoying the peace and quiet.

A few minutes later, an unexpected thought intruded. “Open your eyes.”

Brenda’s eyes popped open. Walking across a small hill directly toward her was a tall, slender man. His clothing was in muted colors that let him blend in with the autumn colors of the park surrounding him. He was looking down at a length of red rope that was wrapped around each hand.

“Why on earth does he have a rope?” Brenda wondered, but just as soon as she wondered, she knew the answer. The nearby bushes no longer seemed so peaceful and serene. If she were dragged in there, no one would be able to see or hear her. The man was even closer and still coming.

Another thought came to Brenda with force and clarity: “Get up and walk quickly down the hill.”

She wasn’t panicked or necessarily anxious, but the mental prompts were strong and clear. Her movement startled the man who looked up. Their eyes met and Brenda felt a chill at how cold the man’s eyes were. She strode away projecting self-confidence and didn’t see him again.

The next few days passed swiftly and soon Brenda found herself home again. A couple of days later, Brenda received a phone call from her friend, Sheri.

Sheri got straight to the point: “Brenda, what happened to you while you were in England?”

“Uhh, what do you mean?” Brenda asked.

“Last Wednesday,” Sheri explained, “the Lord woke me up to pray for you because you were about to be murdered.

Brenda immediately thought of the encounter in Hyde Park. The women compared the time Sheri was awakened to pray for her and, taking into account the difference in time zones, learned it was the exact same time Brenda was lying alone on a park bench while a man with a rope walked toward her.

Brenda often thinks back to the miraculous way in which her life was preserved. She says, quote: “What I remember is not so much the man or the rope or the fear of what might have happened. What I remember is how God protected me. I now know that those words I heard were his voice, carried to me through the prayers of a friend.”

First Peter chapter 3, verses 12 and 13 say: “For the eyes of Yahuwah are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers; but the face of Yah is against those who do evil. And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good?”

We have been given great and precious promises. Go, and start claiming!

第三部分：

张婷：This has been a really interesting discussion. I have a new understanding of the eternal burnings. It’s not just an ever burning hell. It’s the presence of Yah itself.

林峰：We were talking about memorials that have “eternal flames”? Well, the eternal burnings will be an everlasting memorial of the power of divine love.

Eternal life is for all who choose to have their sins consumed by the fires of eternal love. James 4 tells us how that’s done. Would you read James 4:7, 8 and 10?

张婷：

Therefore submit to Yah. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to Yah and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

林峰：The way we cleanse our hands and purify our hearts is to surrender. When Yahuwah reveals something in us that is out of line with His will, we choose to surrender, rather than cling to sin.

We’re not cleansed through our efforts. We can’t do it. It’s Yah that purifies us. And all who are purified get to live in Yahuwah’s presence for eternity!

The fires of His presence will burn throughout eternity. That’s a promise.

Revelation 21:23 says: “The city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of Yahuwah did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.” Like the three worthies, like Moses on Sinai, the redeemed will be able to live in the presence of consuming fire because they have surrendered their wills to Yah. They’ve allowed their sin to be consumed so they can live unscathed in the presence of holiness.

张婷：This reminds me of a story I read recently. Apparently, there was this ladies’ Bible study group that was reading through the book of Malachi. When they got to chapter 3, they were really intrigued by verses 2 to 3. It says:

But who can endure the day of His coming?And who can stand when He appears?For He is like a refiner’s fireAnd like launderers’ soap.He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver;He will purify the sons of Levi,And purge them as gold and silver,That they may offer to YahuwahAn offering in righteousness.

The women wanted to understand the illustration so they could really grasp the process being described in Scripture.

One woman made arrangements to observe a silversmith at work, so she could report back to the group just what he did.

林峰：Yeah? What did she learn?

张婷：Well, it was really interesting. The silversmith explained that in order to refine silver, he had to hold it in the middle of the fire where the flames were the hottest. That’s the only way he could burn away any impurities.

The woman asked if it were true that he had to stay there, by the fire, the entire time the silver was being refined in the flames.

He said: “Yes. Not only do I have to stay here holding the silver, but I have to keep my eyes on it the entire time. If the silver is left in a moment too long, it will be destroyed.”

The woman watched him in silence awhile, then asked: “How do you know when it’s fully refined?”

“That’s simple,” he said. “I know it’s fully refined when I can see my image in it.”

林峰：That’s our inspiration: to have the image of Yahuwah fully reproduced in us so that when people look at us, they see the Father. When they hear our words, it will be the voice of the Father they hear.

Isaiah 55 tells us how. It says: “Seek ye Yahuwah while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near: let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto Yahuwah, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God for he will abundantly pardon.” [Isaiah 55:6-7]

张婷：The reward for total surrendering to the purifying fires is huge! Daniel 12:2-3 promises:

And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,Some to everlasting life,Some to shame and everlasting contempt.Those who are wise shall shineLike the brightness of the firmament,And those who turn many to righteousnessLike the stars forever and ever.

Please join us again tomorrow, and until then, remember: Yahuwah loves you . . . and He is safe to trust!

[Narrator: don’t rush that last line. Say it gently but with emphasis.]

感谢您收听WLC广播电台的本期节目。

我们生活在一个非常庄严的时代。世界正徘徊在灾难的边缘。

灾难性事件将会很快发生，这将结束这个时代，并将迎来下一个时代。在祂的慈悲中，【亚乎我】通过预言揭示了未来将会发生什么。启示录8章预言了一系列事件，每一个都比上一个更糟，行将毁灭大地。世界的粮食供应将遭到毁灭性的饥荒和随之而来的瘟疫。地上的淡水供应也将会受到影响。

启示录9章揭示了恶魔将会模仿外星人。这种所谓的外星人入侵所带来的恐怖和破坏将使人们不惜一切代价寻求安全。按照良心所要求的生活和敬拜的自由将成为过去。

在这一系列的事件中，许多谎言都会消失，当兽印被强制执行的时候，就会有殉道者。每一件事都在为下一次危机做准备，这是一次长长的最后悔改的呼召，因为【亚乎我】不愿意任何人灭亡，而是所有人都能悔改。在启示录8章和9章所描述的事件之后不久，末后七灾将倾泻而出。这些灾难在人类历史上是史无前例的。在一个非常真实的意义上，这些事件将清空大地。

以赛亚书24章警告说：“看哪，【亚乎我】使地空虚，变为荒凉；又翻转大地，将居民分散…

地要东倒西歪，好像醉酒的人；又摇来摇去，好像吊床。罪过在其上沉重，必然塌陷，不能复起。”

然而，对信徒来说，还有希望。在描述这个时代的终结时，【亚乎术阿】在路加福音21:28中说：“一有这些事，你们就当挺身昂首，因为你们得赎的日子近了。”

是的，结局会是很痛苦的！这是注定的。

【亚乎我】想拯救每一个人。所以，祂允许这最后的高潮发生以唤醒灵魂。但【亚】的国的福音是，除了不久将来的创伤性事件之外，所有接受【亚】救恩礼物的人都会得到永恒的幸福和喜乐。

当【亚乎术阿】回来的时候，所有相信被钉在十字架上复活的救主的功劳而死去的人，将在第一次复活中复活。【亚乎术阿】必在地上建立【亚】的国，在永恒的头一千年，他和被救赎的人要一同在地上作王。

因为在【亚乎术阿】返回之前发生的灾难性事件将使大地变得无法适合居住。【亚乎我】将重新创造一个全新的世界。

约翰看见一个新天新地，因为先前的天和地都过去了。如果你想与所有时代的被救赎者一起过上一种与【亚乎我】的生命相称的生活，请做出选择。

今天就接受救恩！

你不必让你自己准备好。事实是：你不能。我也不能。没有人能！

像你本来的样子来找他。不要等到你停止犯罪再来。你不可能通过自己的努力变得更好。接受【亚乎我】的邀请，成为祂永恒的地上王国的一员。当你接受这份珍贵的邀请，【亚乎我】会送给你一颗崭新的心。

在以西结书36:26中，祂说：“我也要赐给你们一个新心，将新灵放在你们里面。又从你们的肉体中除掉石心，赐给你们肉心。”

接受这无价之宝是进入祂的王国的唯一途径。

像你这样来找【亚乎我】吧。祂张开双臂等待着；渴望接待所有来到祂面前的人。
