JY Bible Notes 聖經小筆記

These are my notes from a Thursday Bible study with Brother G, for my personal study and sharing. 這是我在週四與 Brother G 一起查經所整理的筆記，作為自己讀經與分享之用。 How God Reveals Himself 神如何啟示祂自己 ——— 1. Through Nature（藉著自然） • Romans 1:19–20, 21–23 What may be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes—His eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. But although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him… and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images. 神的事情，人所能知道的，原顯明在人心裡，因為神已經給他們顯明。自從造天地以來，神的永能和神性是明明可知的，雖是眼不能見，但藉著所造之物就可以曉得，叫人無可推諉。 但人雖然知道神，卻不當作神榮耀祂，也不感謝祂…反而去拜偶像。 → God reveals His existence and power through creation. → 神透過受造界讓人知道祂的存在與能力。 → The problem is not lack of revelation, but rejection. → 問題不是沒有啟示，而是人拒絕。 • Psalm 19:1–6; 8:3–9 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of H...

From: ISBE — International Standard Bible Encyclopedia ——— Forgiveness 原諒 Etymology 字源 ——— Of the seven words, three Hebrew and four Greek, which are used to express the idea of forgiveness, 在用來表達「原諒」這個概念的七個詞中，其中三個是希伯來文，四個是希臘文。 the last two occur in this sense only once each. 最後兩個在這個意義上各只出現一次。 Apoluein (Luk_6:37) is used because of the analogy of sin to debt, and denotes the release from it. Apoluein（路加福音6:37）之所以被使用，是因為將罪比喻為債，表示從債中被釋放。 It has the meaning “forgiveness” in 2 Macc 12:45 also, in which passage the word for sin is expressed. 在《馬加比二書》12:45中，它也有「原諒」的意思，在該處經文中罪被明確提到。 In Rom_3:25 Paul uses paresis instead of the usual aphesis. 在羅馬書3:25中，保羅使用的是 paresis，而不是常見的 aphesis。 The former means “putting aside,” “disregarding,” “pretermission”; 前者的意思是「暫時放在一旁」、「忽略」、「略過」。 the latter, “putting away” completely and unreservedly. 後者則是「完全、毫無保留地除去」。 It does not mean forgiveness in the complete sense, 前者並不表示完整意義上的原諒。 and in the King James Version is incorrectly translated “remission.” 在欽定本聖經中被錯誤翻...

This issue lies at the very heart of both religions and makes reconciliation impossible. If the Bible is correct about Jesus, then the Quran is mistaken; if the Quran is correct, then Christianity collapses. 基督教與伊斯蘭教在耶穌基督的身份上完全衝突。這個問題正是兩個宗教的核心。如果聖經對耶穌的描述是真實的，那麼古蘭經就是錯誤的；如果古蘭經的描述是真實的，那麼基督教就不成立。因此兩者在這一點上不可能調和。 二、古蘭經對耶穌的描述  The Quran’s Description of Jesus The Quran repeatedly denies that Jesus possesses divinity or t...

Note  說明 Notes from a Thursday Bible study with brother E.B. These notes are my personal summary for study and sharing. 本筆記整理自週四與 E.B. 弟兄查經的內容，為個人整理，供自學與分享使用。 The Existence of God 神的存在 This outline summarizes several classical arguments that help us understand why belief in God is reasonable and coherent. 以下綱要整理幾個經典論證，說明為何相信神是合理且一致的。 ———————————————— 1. The First Truth  第一真理 God is Spirit, infinite and perfect: the source, support, and end of all things. 神是靈，是無限且完全的，是萬有的源頭、維持者與終結。 Scripture reminds us that all things come from Him, exist through Him, and return to Him (Romans 11:36). 聖經提醒我們：萬有都是本於祂、倚靠祂、歸於祂（羅馬書11:36）。 Because God is Spirit (John 4:24), He is not limited by the physical world. 因為神是靈（約翰福音4:24），祂不受物質世界限制。 God is therefore the ultimate first truth. 因此神就是終極的第一真理。 A true first truth must satisfy three tests: 真正的第一真理必須符合三個測試： Universality 普遍性 It must apply to all reality and not only to a limited situation. 它必須適用於一切存在，而不是只適用於某個局部情況。 Necessity 必然性 It must be necess...

  屬靈的帳本｜The Spiritual Ledger ——— 經文 Scripture 我並不求什麼餽送，所求的就是你們的果子漸漸增多，歸在你們的帳上。（腓立比書 4:17） Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek the fruit that increases to your account. (Philippians 4:17) ——— 保羅真正關心的是果子 Paul’s True Concern Is the Fruit 這節經文出現在保羅感謝腓立比教會餽送的話語中。 This verse appears in Paul’s thanksgiving for the Philippians’ gift. 但保羅特別澄清，他所關心的不是自己的需要。 Yet Paul carefully clarifies that his concern is not for his own need. 他真正看重的，是信徒生命中不斷增長的果子。 What truly matters to him is the growing spiritual fruit in the believers’ lives. ——— 奉獻與屬靈的記帳 Giving and the Spiritual Accounting 「果子漸漸增多」與「歸在你們的帳上」都是帶有記帳意味的商業用語。 “Fruit that increases” and “credited to your account” are both terms drawn from financial accounting. 保羅借用這種語言說明一件屬靈的事。 Paul uses this familiar language to describe a spiritual reality. 奉獻不是單向的流出，而是在神面前被記念、被累積。 Giving is not a one-way loss, but something remembered and accumulated before God. ——— 果子不是交易 Fruit Is Not a Transaction 這並不是功德思想，也不是用金錢換祝福。 This is not merit-earning, no...

Based on an English article (E.B.) 根據英文資料整理翻譯 Title: There Is No Promised Land Today 題目：今日已沒有「應許之地」 Many people connect modern political Israel with the “promised land” mentioned in the Bible, especially when conflicts occur in the Middle East. Whenever war breaks out in that region, speculation about biblical prophecy often increases. However, many of these ideas come from misunderstandings of Scripture rather than from careful reading of the Bible itself. 許多人在談到中東衝突時，常把現代的政治國家以色列與聖經中的「應許之地」直接連在一起。每當該地區爆發戰爭時，關於聖經預言的各種推測也會隨之增加。然而，許多這樣的觀念其實來自對聖經的誤解，而不是對經文本身的仔細理解。 In the Old Testament, God promised Abraham that his descendants would receive the land of Canaan (Genesis 12:7; 15:18). Some people believe that this promise has never been completely fulfilled and still applies to the modern nation of Israel today. However, the Bible itself states that the promise was fulfilled when the Israelites entered and possessed the land. 在舊約中，神曾應許亞伯拉罕的後裔要得著迦南地（創世記 12:7；15:18）。有些人認為這個應許從未完全實現，因此仍然適用於今天的...

一、認為不是每個基督徒都需要傳福音 Thinking that not every Christian needs to preach the gospel 大使命是給所有門徒的命令（太28:19–20） The Great Commission was given to all disciples (Matthew 28:19–20) 基督徒應當結果子並分享福音（羅1:13–15） Christians are expected to bear fruit and share the gospel (Romans 1:13–15) 如果前人不傳福音，我們今天也不會聽見福音 If earlier believers had not shared the gospel, we would never have heard it ──────────────────────── 二、認為傳福音不是我的恩賜 Thinking evangelism is not my gift 傳福音是言傳身教，不是特殊技能 Evangelism is sharing truth through life and words, not a special skill 神給信徒不同恩賜，但人人都要參與事奉（羅12:6–8） God gives different gifts, yet all believers are called to serve (Romans 12:6–8) 恩賜是為建立基督的身體（弗4:7–12） Spiritual gifts are given to build up the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:7–12) ──────────────────────── 三、認為自己沒有足夠的聖經知識 Thinking one lacks enough Bible knowledge 有些人因為對聖經不熟悉而不敢傳福音 Some hesitate to evangelize because they feel unfamiliar with Scripture 學習聖經最好的方法之一，就是去教導別人 One of the best ways to learn Scripture is by teaching others 當我們分享信仰時，...
