浅谈恩约信仰 下 问答

主讲:林慈信牧师_校对:刘加立_文字:叶子姐妹

好,现在我们小组讨论三分钟,讨论什么?讨论他说啥?刚才所听到的符合圣经吗?重要吗?为什么重要?他说啥?重要吗?为什么重要?OK? 来,讨论。

有什么问题吗?有什么问题吗?

好,请等一等,大家安静下来。

有的,你就讲好了我repeat。

学员1(姐妹):我们说神是三一真神,这个是三,又是一,能不能解释difference?32’25

好,我先重复这个问题啊,“圣父、圣子、圣灵是同权同荣,我可以理解I can understand the Father internal equal glorious不同在哪里呢?What is the difference? 什么叫做圣父是父?圣子是子?圣灵是灵是什么意思呢?”好,我们一步步来,第一,we are talking about three persons 三个位格And each person has his own mode of existence,每一个位格有它的生存形态。那什么叫做生存形态?什么叫mode of existence?

我们来讲,圣父是父祂的生存形态是,圣父是不受生的,The Father is The Father。The Father is ungenerated。圣父不是谁的子,The Father is not the son of anybody。没有人生圣父的。Nobody generates The Father。圣子是子 The Son is The Son。圣子的生存形态就是受生的,the mode of existence of the Son is his generated。那请记得,不是说圣子在哪一天出生,有一张出生证明书it’s not, we did not say that the Son is born, he doesn’t have a birth certificate。圣子是generated,那这个generate这个字和出生born是不一样的。故意的,圣经故意的,用另外一个字,中文都是生。圣子是受生的The Son’s mode of existence is generated。圣灵是一个位格,the Holy Spirit is a person,祂的生存形态是出的。The mode of existence of The Spirit is that He proceeds。那你说什么叫生什么叫出?不知道。圣经没有讲。What is the mean to be generation to proceed. Nobody knows. The bible did not say。用生用出这些字generated,proceed这些字,只不过尝试去说it’s just attempt to say,The Son is The Son, The Spirit is The Spirit。只不过尝试去说,圣子是子,圣灵是灵。那你看哪,我们不会用一些哲学的理论去再去解释的。那叫猜测speculation,We don’t speculate。圣子是圣父所生的,什么意思啊?就是祂是子喽,你讲来讲去怎么多,对。我们不要讲多过圣经所讲的。Don’t state more than the Bible states。也不要讲少过圣经所讲的Don’t say less than what the Bible states。圣经有讲圣父生圣子,圣子是圣子,圣子是受生的,是父怀中的独生子,完了。不要再加盐加醋,画蛇添足。We don’t say any more than what the Bible says。祂们的不同我们叫做mode of existence 生存形态。

好了,现在我们讲完了一个本体论的三一真神。Now we just finished talking about an ontological trinity 。现在我们来讲救赎计划里的三一真神,Now we talk about the economical trinity。Economical不是经济学,不是economics。Economics 的意思就是order, structure , plan。Economica就是计划,一个结构。圣父、圣子、圣灵每一位都是神The Father is God ,The Son is God,The Holy Spirit is God。祂们一同计划了救赎计划 They together planed the plan of redemption。那在这个救赎计划里,圣父差遣圣子,圣子顺服圣父 in the plan of redemption, The Father sends The Son. The Son obeys The Father。那这些字我们可以从新约,特别是福音书是可以找到的。对不对?差遣、顺服,圣子讲的不会超过圣子。圣子讲的不会超过圣父所启示给祂的。The Son does not say any more than what The Father reviews to Him。所以圣子是顺从圣父的。The Son obeys The Father 。

圣父圣子从来就是平等的。But they are equal in eternity. 那现在在实现这个救赎计划的时候,圣子顺服圣父。Now as they reviews and execute the plan of redemption,The Son obeys The Father。同样的,圣父差遣圣灵,圣子求父差遣圣灵,或者说圣子差遣圣灵。The Father sents The Spirit,The Son asks The Father to send The Spirit or The Son sends The Spirit。所以圣灵所做的是高举圣子。What The Spirit does is He glories The Son。就好像一些高楼大厦晚上呢在地上有些灯叫flatlight。OK,The Holy Spirit is the flatlight。圣灵照亮圣子。The Spirit makes The Son shine。这是圣灵的工作。That’s the work of Spirit。所以在三一真神永恒里有生存形态的不同。在救赎计划里有扮演的角色的不同。So in eternity, The Father 、Son and The Spirit has the different mode of existence。In the plan of salvation The Father 、 Son and The Spirit plays the different roles。因为圣子圣灵在救赎计划里都顺服圣父,所以有些人就误解,就以为圣父比圣子圣灵高。那是错的,他本质上没有什么高低。祂们没有高低。Some people mistakenly think that since the son and spirit based,obey the father in a plan of redemption, there for the father is higher than the sun in this way. No, they’re equal。39’47。要继续问下去吗?

学员:所以你his different present meaning?

林牧:the different present meaning?就是different motive,It just means that the sun is the sun. That’s son is spirit.

学员:I mean你的现在意思是在讲他们的那个state,他们的那个就是说,不是说神也是说神…

林牧:Mode of existence.

学员:一个是…

林牧:对

学员:那个是一个…那个是person,他们同样是圣洁。

林牧:ok对,祂们同样的圣洁公义等等

学员:他们不会违背自己的父啊,他们也不会…

林牧:yeah,Each person will not go against himself. Each one of them is wholly etc

学员:但是。。。

林牧:They are one in heart。祂们一心,同一个心。One in mind。祂们一个心意的。Does that mean that the father and the son and a spirit feels exactly the same emotions, but nobody knows. You just have to read the bible and find out for yourself(41:39).是不是圣父圣子祂们同一条心,就是祂们每一秒钟所感觉到的情感是完全一样的。那圣经没有讲。In time, In history。当然不是。在历史中当然不是。圣父倾倒忿怒,圣子痛苦的时候说:“我的神,我的神,为什么离弃我?” Right? In history is not the same。The father pours out his wrath and the son says, my God, my God! Why not you sicken me.但是在永恒里,奥秘的是祂们是一条心,同一个心思意念,同一个计划的。they are a mystery,that in eternity they are of one mind one plan one heart。或者我们可以说,祂们是彼此相爱的。They love one another.爱到一个地步比最完美的夫妻更亲密。They love one another with a love that is more intimate than best husband and wife relationship on earth.就不能讲下去了。因为祂每一个位格是位格。但是位格之间的那个关系是那么的密切。The Father is in The Son, The Son is in The Father。Each of them is a person。The relationship between them is so close。We are nothing more to say。It’s one in mind, one in heart, one in will。

学员:是不是也可以这样讲说,祂们这三个位格,其实他们在…我的意思是说。。。是不是祂们三个位格在形式上…

林牧:independent of one another?No。They are independent from the creation of the universe.祂们从,祂们是独立于宇宙,因为宇宙是祂造的。祂们造的。但是祂们彼此是相互依存的。however, they are relative and dependent on one another. dependent 的意思不是说祂们有什么缺欠。They are dependent doesn’t mean they have anything like it. It just means they’re so close to one another.祂们彼此是那么地亲密的。哲学上不用dependent 这个字,用correlative,是相互依存的。那个意思不是很穷啊,相依为命啊,不是这个意思啊Correlative,They are correlative in one another in the Tri-Unity,在三位一体里面的合一,合一到一个地步,祂们是彼此相互依存的。有些东西讲到这里就不能再讲下去了。好。

学员问:我们现在说哦,为什么要有三位一体这样一个概念出来呢?既然是统一的,为什么…

答:既然是统一的,为什么要有三位一体这样的概念呢?since they are one ,why is this concept of trinity?

学员(多个姐妹):我们正在反馈说,为什么要用三位一体…是因为。。。是上帝的奥秘

林牧:Is it because the father, son and spirit this model is a better model for us? Human beings understand God.好,请各位带上你们的安全带,我们现在要飞到四万五千尺。OK? please fasten your seat belts. We’re gonna find thin air in 45000 feet, okay?下面假如你听不懂的话,Don’t worry。表示你是人,正常人,OK?  你听不懂是正常的。

好,我们现在要讲一个一和众多的问题。One and many。这是希腊哲学问得很多年的。That’s a question that Greek philosophers have been asking for a long time. The one and many problem.一和众。最简单的讲,我手上有一本书圣经,一本另外一本书,你们都有书。为什么这些书都叫书呢?I have a few more books. Why are all these books called book?那柏拉图就会说:“因为在前世有一个地方叫理想世界,那里有一本最理想的书。这些书都是那本最理想书的抄本。so plato would say that these are all books, because in some pre existent world of ideas, that’s an idea book. All these books are copies of the book of shadows idea book.当然我们会说,这些都是书,因为都是人印出来的。人是神造的,所以是在神的掌管在这世界里面,有些东西叫做书。

好,自从希腊哲学或者其他的古代的哲学,人们都是在从众去找一。Mankind has been searching for the one among the many。比如说我经过这么多患难又胃病又又又lung cancer(肺癌)又什么什么啊,这么多的遭遇有一个意义吗?allright 众里面找一。我们这里一百几十个人怎么可以成为一个教会一条心呢,unity 合一什么意思呢,对不对?所以不论在婚姻、在教会、在苦难,我们都在找一个一。这个一One who explains the many. 希腊哲学就找这个一叫做理念idea或者形式form。我们中国人呢找这个一叫做天,后来叫做天宫,但是呢更哲学化的是太极、太医。So the Chinese have their own ways of talking about the one heaven or太极,they do talk about form ideas,很精彩的乃是a very excellence end of idea is我们的神又是一又是众。

因此宇宙的最高真理又是一又是三,就解决了为什么地上又有众又再找一,our God is one and also many, you three. Therefore, the highest truth in the universe is both one and three; both one and many, this gives a penetrating answer to the question – how can I find the one among the many, how I can find the one that explains the many. 我怎么去在宇宙里面找一个一可以解释所有的众的呢。Well, 因为我们的神就是又是一又是众的。

有一次我在香港长洲去光顾一个日本老先生老太太卖的绿茶跟红豆饼小店,日本人在香港。I used to go to Hong Kong to a little island, there is a Japanese old man and his wife selling red bean cakes and green tea 后来跟他们熟了跑到他后面的厨房客厅等你做了。这位是一位物理学家他专门搞风车的this Japanese physicist specialized in windmills. 跟他谈谈谈,他作为物理学家他说,是的有个三 Three is the most basic structure in the universe, not two but three他找到一个原则一个真理。我只能说到这里,明白吗?恭喜,你是人!新年快乐!我们的神是一又是三,这个就告诉我们宇宙又是一又是众,our God is one in three he existing as one in three and he alone explains why the universe has many, but has also one. 这个叫做形而上学metaphysics,总之呢圣经里面就这样表达,三个位格一神,我们就接受就是了。但是圣经写完之后呢有很多异端出来,所以呢教会就要驳斥这些异端,最后最后搞到尼西亚信经325年,后来还有400几年的451年的迦克墩信经because heresies arose after the bible was completed. So therefore, the doctor alternate as officially stated in the council of Nicene – 325 and Chalcedon- 451这是我的老师范泰尔解释为什么要有这个三位一体的概念。

最后我还有一个问题吗,两位要么第三位,这样就很完整,又是一又是三。是 请,

学员2(弟兄):我们现在理解不了三位一体,可是我们还是要读经过基督徒生活的。

林牧师:是,我们了解不了解三位一体最后还是要读圣经过基督徒生活的。

学员:对,是不是有其他的教会,他们没有三位一体的概念,会造成误差

林牧:是,没有错,在教会历史上面有很多人不按照三位一体去做,所以他们造成偏差,是的。

学员:是不是有很多这样的明示告诉我们说,这样做做是不对的,我们…

林牧师:很多这种的派别是不对的,他们就从这个偏差了。耶和华见证人耶稣是a god, son is a god, little ‘g’不是God,圣子是一个神,一个小神不是神;自由派耶稣是好人,不是神liberalism, Jesus is a good man or a man who has a very high level of gods consciousness所以呢他不神 He is not God那个等等了。

学员:(52分37秒学生说话).他们是因为不理解He is God这个概念,还是因为其他的原因造成的这种的偏差,或者因为我们人的品行,其实…真正去反复强调三位一体真神的位格的时候,意义到底是什么?让我们学习圣经,或让我们过基督徒生活。

林牧师:对呀,我们学习圣经过基督徒生活我们是向三位一体真神祷告敬拜祂,我们不是向一个好人耶稣来求他赦免我们的罪,我们求圣灵充满我们给我们力量,祂是神,不是一阵风,不是一个 air conditioning system圣灵是神祂来等等喽,是很很实用的。那其他的那些思想呢,就自作聪明要自己去找一个原理出来,而不是唯独信靠圣经。哲学家常常要做的是让我来寻找绝对真理let me find absolutely truth而不是先相信圣经,起初神创造天地,他是先去搞哲学的猜测speculation. See, the Philosophical go wrong when they begin,Not with genesis one one in the beginning God – created the universe – No, but they begin by speculation – let me search for absolute truth意思是说让我不靠神,我可以找至少可以寻找绝对真理的。这种的心态就等于说我是无所不知的,因为我可以找到绝对真理吗,这个是范泰尔对这种的哲学的很penetrating. 深度的分析,analysis所有的偏差的哲学跟神学都是想自己不靠神,独立自主的去找绝对真理,会找那个最高真神。All every wrong philosophy of the ology begins to autonomy, let me independently from God, autonomously search for the highest truth and highest God. 你这样做的一定走歪路,除非我们从先领受圣经所讲的,然后apply应用而不是先speculate先猜测,所有猜测的不不是先降服在神面前的哲学跟神学都是很抽象,很玄妙的,抽象,玄妙不是因为你不懂哲学,是因为他不符合圣经 All non-biblical philosophies and theology are abstract. They are abstract not because they don’t have a PhD in philosophy. They are abstract because they are not submitted to the Bible. 他一定讲不通讲不透宇宙的真相,因为他们不从圣经开始,Since they did not begin with the Bible and surrender under the God of the Bible, they their thought is abstract, and abstract means they can never take account of the universe adequately一定讲不透,宇宙是怎么这么一个宇宙的.只有圣经,三一真神和祂们所讲的-祂们所启示的,可以告诉我们宇宙是怎么一回事only The triune God, the Bible’s God can explain to us the meaning of the universe and the meaning of life.

好,我现在最后我要送一张 Coupon给各位一个offer,ok拿到没有。哪哪拿到没有,啊拿到,写着free,think in another three years这张优惠卷写着免费思想多三年,我的意思是说你慢慢去消化多三年至少6个月呢,就表示我们是正常人,ok好像牛一样吃进去消化然后再再去消化消化消化慢慢来的。我还有一点啊还有一点啊,最后最后请各位不要出去说啊我懂了,林牧师不是讲的啊得得得,没有啦,尽可能不要很快跑去Facebook,YouTube了,哒哒,哒哒哒哒听见铃声那个啊,让它沉淀。好像牛放在这个胃里面咯,让它慢慢消化好吗?因为很多时候我们会说错或者态度不正确,就消化慢慢地放在里面,反复思想,盼望不久的将来我们再来第二次,今年会还会有的,好我们祷告结束。噢还有还有,对不起对不起。

学员3(姐妹):就是说,对一些现在少年人你是有什么劝勉和帮助对于三位一体的课题,因为以后在教会里面接班。

林牧:Just memorize those seventeen sentences and let it sink in for a while.(全体:笑声。) That just the way God is. Its gonna like memorize skills like the piano or the multilocation tables, and you learn math, or the alphabet, and the verb forms when you learnt a language. Let it sit for a while, it’s OK. If you are thirteen now, perhaps when you are twenty-one, you will think back to this strange day, when this old, strange pastor make us  memories of 1776. (全体:笑声。) You know, em, your generation looks for relationships, I mean, not you la, your generation, love and so on, but, you know, there are something called truth, and we just have to know the truth. And, build relationship the person should concern, respect, dialog and so on. So, truth and love should go together. May you be strong in both truth and love. That’s my generational pep talk to you. You don’t understand it’s OK. Wait eight more years.

好,我们祷告!感谢天父给我们很喜乐的时间一起来思考。你是这么荣耀奥秘的神,但是你也将你的话鲜明你自己。求主给我们一个谦卑与你同行的心。反复思考,快快的听,慢慢的说,感谢主,我们一起学习,这个是我们的福分,我们的恩典,奉耶稣基督圣名求。阿们。
