JY Bible Notes 聖經小筆記

## 1. The Indwelling of the Holy Spirit Is Not Only “Through the Word” 聖靈的內住，不只是「藉著神的話語」而內住 Some believe that the Holy Spirit dwells in Christians ‘through the Word.’ However, this is not the accepted understanding within the Restoration Movement tradition in Scotland and the United States. Although the Word of God is extremely important, the Word itself is not the Holy Spirit. The Spirit does not merely dwell in us through Scripture; rather, the Holy Spirit Himself personally indwells Christians . 有些人認為聖靈是「藉著神的話語」內住在基督徒裡面。然而，這並不是蘇格蘭與美國復興運動傳統中所接受的理解。雖然神的話語極其重要，但神的話語本身並不是聖靈。聖靈並非只是藉著聖經住在我們裡面；相反地， 聖靈自己親自內住在基督徒裡面 。 However, this does not mean that the Word of God is unimportant. Without God’s Word, Christians become hampered or blocked. This does not hinder the existence of the Spirit, but it hinders us from accomplishing the work and mission God has given us. Without understanding God’s will, a person cannot properly live the life God desires. 然而，這並不表示神的話語不重要。若沒有神的話語，基督徒會受到攔阻（hampered / b...

##  Introduction  前言 Many Christians today either misunderstand the Holy Spirit as merely a mystical feeling, or reduce Him to nothing more than the written words of Scripture. The Bible presents a more balanced picture. 今天許多基督徒，對聖靈有兩種極端的誤解： 一種是把聖靈當成一種神秘感覺； 另一種則把聖靈縮減成「只是聖經文字本身」。 但聖經所呈現的，其實是一個更平衡的圖畫。 ## The Holy Spirit Truly Indwells Christians  聖靈確實內住在基督徒裡面 Romans 8:9 says: “Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.” 羅馬書 8:9 說： 「人若沒有基督的靈，就不是屬基督的。」 1 Corinthians 6:19 says: “Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you.” 哥林多前書 6:19 說： 「你們的身子就是聖靈的殿。」 The Holy Spirit truly indwells Christians today. 今天聖靈的確真實地內住在基督徒裡面。 ## What the Indwelling Does NOT Mean  聖靈內住「不是」什麼意思 However, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit today should not be understood as direct revelation, emotional impulses, mystical voices, or miraculous powers like those given to the apostles in the first century. 然而，今天聖靈的內住，並不應被理解成： * 直接啟示 * 情緒衝動 * 神秘聲音 * 像第一世紀使徒那樣的神蹟能力 ## Mir...

以下是我寫給 Bro. T 的內容，作為個人研究的紀錄與分享。 The following is something I wrote to Bro. T as part of my personal study notes and reflections. 第一，使徒行傳2:34-36 彼得引用詩篇110:1「主對我主說」，本身就同時出現兩個「主」—— 一個是父神，一個是彌賽亞。 所以「神立耶穌為主」是在顯明、確立耶穌的主權， 而不是取消父神作主的身份。 1. Acts 2:34–36    Peter quotes Psalm 110:1, “The Lord said to my Lord,” where two “Lords” appear—    one referring to the Father, and the other to the Messiah.    Therefore, “God has made Him both Lord and Christ” means that Jesus’ lordship is revealed and established,    not that the Father ceases to be Lord. ——— 第二，啟示錄4:2,8,11 第4章只有一位坐在寶座上， 但被稱為「主神」（Lord God）、「我們的主，我們的神」。 這是在新約後期的啟示中，仍然直接稱父為「主」， 顯示這個稱呼沒有被拿走。 雖然這是屬天的敬拜場景， 但神的身份與稱呼本質上不會因場景不同而改變， 因此這樣的用法對我們理解神的稱呼仍具有參考意義。 2. Revelation 4:2, 8, 11    In chapter 4, only one sits on the throne,    yet He is addressed as “Lord God” and “our Lord and our God.”    This shows that even in the later New Testament revelation, the Father is still direct...

Churches of Christ generally agree that it is scriptural for a local church to support a preacher directly.   基督的教會普遍認為，地方教會直接支持傳道人，是合乎聖經的。 Examples include Philippians 4:15–16 and 2 Corinthians 11:8, where churches sent support directly to Paul.   例如腓立比書 4:15–16 與哥林多後書 11:8，都顯示教會直接供應保羅。 However, many conservative churches of Christ object to the “sponsoring church” arrangement.   然而，許多保守派基督的教會反對「 sponsoring church（統籌教會）」制度。 This is when one church collects money from many churches into its own treasury and oversees a larger evangelistic work.   也就是某一間教會向多間教會募集資金，集中到自己的庫房，再統籌大型福音工作。 Why is this rejected by churches of Christ?   為何基督的教會反對這種作法？ 1. There is no New Testament example of churches sending evangelism funds to another church treasury.   新約中沒有「教會把福音經費交給另一間教會庫房」的例子。 2. Each local church is autonomous.   每一個地方教會都是自治的。 1 Peter 5:2 teaches elders to shepherd “the flock among you,” not a brotherhood-wide organization.   彼得前書 5:2 教導長老只牧養「你們中間的群羊」...

**These are my study notes from Bro. G’s Thursday class, prepared for my personal study and sharing. 這是我整理自 Bro. G 週四課堂的學習筆記，作為個人研讀與分享之用。 Introduction 前言 “The heavens declare the glory of God.” (Psalm 19:1) 「諸天述說神的榮耀。」（詩篇19:1） “This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory.” (John 2:11) 「這是耶穌所行的頭一件神蹟，是在加利利的迦拿行的，顯出祂的榮耀來。」（約翰福音2:11） Before studying the specific attributes of God, theologians often first classify what kind of attributes they are. 在學習神具體的屬性之前，神學家通常會先分類這些屬性是屬於什麼樣的性質。 1.  Absolute / Immanent Attributes 絕對性／內在性屬性 Absolute (or Immanent) attributes describe what God is in Himself. Absolute（絕對性）或 Immanent（內在性）屬性，是描述神「在祂自己裡面」是怎樣的神。 These attributes exist inherently within God Himself and do not depend on the universe or on human beings. 這些屬性本來就內在於神自己裡面，不依賴宇宙，也不依賴人類而存在。 They are intrinsic and intransitive attributes because they do not require an external object. 它們是 intrinsic（內在性）與 intransitive（非作用性／非對象性）的屬性，因為它們不需要外部對象。 Immanent emphasizes th...
