路加17:3–4的重點不在「對誰」,而在「如何」

圖片
  從聖經文本、原文與神學原則三方面拆解: 一、文本脈絡:路加福音 17:3–4 「你們要謹慎。若是你的弟兄得罪你,就勸戒他;他若懊悔,就饒恕他。倘若他一天七次得罪你,又七次回轉說:『我懊悔了』,你總要饒恕他。」 這裡的「弟兄」(ἀδελφός  adelphos )在當時的猶太語境裡,既可指 血緣的弟兄 ,也可泛指 同屬一個群體的人 。而在耶穌講這話時,祂的聽眾尚未成為教會成員,「教會」這個概念還沒成立(馬太16:18才首次預言)。因此 這裡的「弟兄」 不是專指教會內的信徒,而是任何與你有關係的人——鄰舍、家人、同胞。 耶穌在登山寶訓(馬太5章)也早就明確指出: 「要愛你們的仇敵,為那逼迫你們的禱告。」(太5:44) 若我們要愛仇敵、為他們禱告,那怎會有「不適用於外邦人」的道理? 二、原文邏輯:饒恕的條件與對象 路加17:3–4的重點不在「對誰」,而在「如何」—— 耶穌教導的核心是: 饒恕應建立在悔改的基礎上 (“if he repents, forgive him”)。 因此,真正的重點是「悔改」這個條件,而不是「弟兄」這個對象。 凡是願意悔改的人,不論是猶太人、外邦人、信徒或未信者,都該在這原則下被饒恕。若把「弟兄」限縮成「教會內成員」,那耶穌在十字架上為那些還沒悔改的羅馬兵丁祈求「父啊,赦免他們」就顯得自相矛盾了——但祂並不矛盾,因為祂顯出神的心腸: 願萬人悔改,不願一人沉淪 (彼後3:9)。 三、神學原則:教會不應建立雙重標準 若說「這只適用於信徒之間」,那就等於承認基督徒可以對外人懷恨、不饒恕。這違背了最核心的律法總綱: 「要愛人如己。」(太22:39) 「人」這個字沒有界限。耶穌在好撒馬利亞人的比喻中(路10:29–37)早就拆毀了「鄰舍」的界線。 所以,那位領導的講法,實際上是: 把神的話變成本位主義; 把「教會內部倫理」絕對化,卻忽略了神的普世愛與公義; 把「饒恕」變成「宗教限定」,這是法利賽式的錯誤。 四、正確總結 路加17:3–4的原則: 凡願悔改的人,都應該被饒恕 。 饒恕的條件是悔改,不是身分。 若對外人不願饒恕,就已違背了神的愛與公義。 📖  聖經整體真理的對照: 「你們願意人怎樣待你們,你們也要怎樣待人。」(路6:31) 「若能行,總要盡力與眾人和睦。」(羅12:18) 「所以你們要慈悲,像你們的父慈悲一樣...

「七十個七已在第一世紀完全應驗」的時間軸版本 (Dan. 9:24-27)

圖片
以下是根據保守 Church of Christ「七十個七已在第一世紀完全應驗」的時間軸版本, 附上具體年份 (採主前 457 年為起點,是學界最常見的計算方式之一): 📜 七十個七的歷史時間表(保守 Church of Christ 觀點) 時段 年數 西曆年份(約) 歷史事件 屬靈意義 7 個七 49 年 B.C. 457 → B.C. 408 亞達薛西頒令重建耶路撒冷(尼希米 2 章) 城牆、街道在艱難中重建,應驗 但 9:25 上半句 62 個七 434 年 B.C. 408 → A.D. 26 從重建完成到基督出現 彌賽亞「受膏」──耶穌在約旦河受洗、開始事奉(路 3:1–23) (69 個七總和) 483 年 B.C. 457 → A.D. 26–27 — 彌賽亞時代開啟 70 個七(第 70 個七)前半 3 年半 A.D. 27 → A.D. 30 春 基督公開事奉 「他必與許多人堅定盟約」──宣講新約真理 第 70 個七中點 — A.D. 30 春 十字架受死 「一七之半使祭祀與供獻止息」──舊約獻祭終止(希 10:10–14) 第 70 個七後半 3 年半 A.D. 30 → A.D. 34 福音仍集中於猶太人; 司提反被石打(徒 7 章) 猶太民族正式拒絕彌賽亞;福音轉向外邦(徒 8 章、11 章) 七十個七結束 — A.D. 34 七十個七期滿 以色列的特定「救贖期」完結,教會時代展開 隨後審判 — A.D. 70 羅馬提多毀滅耶路撒冷與聖殿 「那行毀壞可憎的臨到」──神的審判臨及不信的以色列 ✝️ 總結(按 Church of Christ 傳統) B.C. 457 起算 → A.D. 34 止。 前 69 個七(483 年)至 A.D. 26 耶穌受洗; 第 70 個七前半至 A.D. 30 十字架; 後半至 A.D. 34 司提反殉道。 七十個七結束於福音轉向外邦, 整個預言在基督裡完全應驗。 一句話概括: 🕊️「A.D. 30 十字架在中點,A.D. 34 司提反在終點。」 七十個七預言的終結,正是 舊約終止、新約普及萬邦 的時刻。  

《馬可福音 11:25 正確解釋神學卡》 Theological Reference Card for Mark 11:25

✦ 經文 Scripture 可 11:25 Mark 11:25 「你們站著禱告的時候,若想起有人得罪你們,就當饒恕他, 好叫你們在天上的父也饒恕你們的過犯。」 “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.”  (ESV) ✦ 原文字義 Greek Word Study ἀφίημι (aphiēmi)  = to send away, to release a debt, to forgive a sin. → 在神對人的層面譯為 “forgive sins / pardon”, 在人與人之間應譯為 “饒恕 / 原諒”,表示 真實解除罪責 ,而非單純情緒釋放。 ✦ 正確神學解釋 Correct Theological Interpretation 面向 Aspect 說明 Explanation 饒恕的本質 Nature of Forgiveness 馬可 11:25 的 “饒恕” 是實質的饒恕,不只是心態預備。 The forgiveness here is actual and substantive, not merely an emotional readiness. 前提條件 Condition 仍以 對方悔改 (rep entance)  為前提;沒有悔改,就無真實饒恕。 True forgiveness is only possible when repentance occurs. 信徒責任 Believer’s Responsibility 不懷恨、不報復,把審判權交給神,並為對方悔改禱告。 Do not harbor bitterness or seek revenge; entrust justice to God and pray for the offender’s repentance. 對應原則 Biblical Harmony 與 路 17:3–4 一致:「若他懊悔,就饒恕他。」 Consistent with Luke 17:3–4: “If he ...

Doing Good and Doing Right

圖片
Doing good  without doing what is  right  in God's eyes can lead to spiritual compromise. God's righteousness must define what is good, not our own compassion or reasoning.  Even if someone seems to do "good" by supporting a family, if it involves breaking laws or harming others (like selling harmful products such as illegal cigarettes), it cannot be justified as right. God wants us to love mercy  and  do justice. Mercy must not cancel justice. We can be compassionate to someone in need, but still uphold righteousness. Mercy and justice are not opposites; they work together under God's truth and good intentions don’t justify wrong doing.  Proverbs 14:12 –  “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” Just because something feels right or seems compassionate doesn't mean it's spiritually safe. If a law enforcer allows someone to continue sinning (continue to do wrong) out of pity, that person may never feel the ...

Only One temple in Jesus' time

圖片
In Jesus’ time, there was  only one Temple  in  Jerusalem , where all sacrifices were offered according to the Law of Moses. Although there were  many synagogues  throughout the land for prayer, teaching, and reading Scripture, the  Temple still held a unique and sacred position —for certain feast days, such as Passover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles,  the Law required the people to go up to Jerusalem to worship . Jesus’ ministry  called and prepared people  to receive  the Law of Christ . The  Old Covenant ceased , and the  New Covenant took effect at the cross , when His blood was shed. From that moment on, worship is to be offered “ in spirit and in truth ” through the gospel of Christ. The true temple is no longer a building but  those who follow Christ and keep His word . God’s Spirit dwells in them through His word —as they obey and live by it, His Spirit shapes their hearts and actions. The destruction of ...
