Speak As The Oracles of God 
(Roger Campbell) (shared by Tasha on Jan. 10, 2020 in Kaohsiung)

  1. Point out “standards” in daily life
  2. Need for an objective standard in religion 
  3. Some unsafe standards:
    • Personal thoughts/opinion (Prov. 14:12)
    • Feelings (Acts 26:9-11)
    • Conscience (Acts 23:1)
    • Tradition (Mark 7:6-9)
    • The majority (Matt. 7:13-14; 1 Pet. 3:20)
  1. We need the truth (John 8:32, 7:17)
  2. Bible is sufficient (2 Tim. 3:16-17)
  3. Should we still follow the O.T.?
    • Law of Moses given only to Israel (Ex. 19:1, 2; 20:1-17; Deu. 5:1-4)
    • O.T. does not take effect now (Eph. 2:2-16; Col. 2:14; Heb. 10:9)
    • If you keep part, keep all (Gal. 5:2-3)
  1. Follow N.T. — the teaching of Christ (Matt. 17:5; 28:8-20)
    • Gospel = power of God (Rom. 1:16)
    • God calls via gospel (2 Thess. 2:13, 14) 
  1. What differences between  O.T. & N.T.? (Given examples.)
  2. Completely follow only the Bible (1 Pet. 4:11; 2 John 9)
  3. No right to change God’s message (Deut. 4:2; Gal. 1:6-8; Rev. 22:18, 19)

Is the “Rapture” Biblical? 「被提」是聖經教導的嗎？

-

What the “Rapture” Claims 「被提」教義主張什麼？ The Rapture teaches that believers will be secretly taken up to heaven before a coming tribulation. 「被提」教義主張：在大災難之前，信徒會被秘密接到天堂。 This idea comes from 1800s dispensationalism, especially from John Nelson Darby. 此教義源自十九世紀的時期論，主要由達秘推廣。 1. Christ Returns Only Once — Publicly 基督只會再來一次，而且是公開的 1 Thessalonians 4:16 describes a loud, visible coming — not a secret removal of believers. 帖前4:16 描述主再來時有呼叫、有號筒聲——完全不是秘密事件。 The Bible never speaks of two separate comings of Christ. 聖經從未教導基督會有兩次不同方式的降臨。 2. The Resurrection Happens in One Event 復活只發生一次的事件 John 5:28–29 shows both righteous and wicked raised on the same day. 約5:28–29 清楚說明：義人與惡人同一天復活。 There is no room for a seven-year gap or a divided timetable. 因此不存在七年災難或兩段式復活的空間。 3. “Caught up in the air” is part of the final return 「在空中被提」是末日降臨的迎接儀式 1 Thessalonians 4:17 describes believers meeting the Lord as He comes, not escaping the world. 帖前4:17 是信徒迎接主的降臨，而非逃離世界。 It is a ...

The Adulterous Woman Properly Understood｜行淫婦人事件的正確理解

  From: Apologetics Press Article: https://apologeticspress.org/the-adulterous-woman-1277/ Author: Dave Miller, Ph.D. Chinese translation and editorial formatting by Joyce, for personal study and sharing. 中文翻譯與編輯排版：Joyce，供個人學習與分享使用。 One of the most misused and misunderstood passages in the Bible is the narrative of the woman caught in adultery (John 8:1-11). This passage has often been used to claim that Jesus set aside God’s law and showed unconditional tolerance. Many believe Jesus ignored her sin and simply forgave her, even though the Law required death (Leviticus 20:10). 聖經中最常被誤用與誤解的經文之一，就是約翰福音8章行淫婦人的事件。許多人用這段經文來主張耶穌放棄神的律法、表現出無條件的寬容，甚至認為祂忽略了罪，直接赦免那婦人，儘管律法明確規定她應當被處死（利未記20:10）。 Did Jesus set aside the Law? A careful study reveals at least three key points: 耶穌真的廢掉律法嗎？仔細觀察可以看出三個關鍵點： First, the Law required at least two witnesses before execution (Deuteronomy 19:15; 17:6). The passage does not clearly present valid witnesses. Without them, execution would...

稱義、成聖、得榮耀 Justification, Sanctification, and Glorification (Church of Christ View)

-

稱義、成聖、得榮耀（聖經的教導） 稱義（Justification） 稱義是指神因著人的順服信心而算他為義——當人相信、悔改、認信並受洗歸入基督時（羅馬書 5:1；使徒行傳 2:38；提多書 3:7）。 這是一個地位的改變，使人從罪人變為義人。 然而，稱義不僅是一次性的宣告，也要在一生中藉著信心與行道持續顯明（雅各書 1:22–25；2:24；路加福音 18:9–14）。 稱義顯明的是：神如何看我們——被赦免、被算為義。 成聖（Sanctification） 成聖是指人被分別出來，歸神使用。 它在受洗時開始，並在一生中不斷持續，隨著信徒在真理與順服中長進（約翰福音 17:17；帖撒羅尼迦前書 4:3）。 這是生命的改變，緊隨在地位改變之後。 藉著神的話語，我們每日被潔淨、被塑造成基督的樣式。 得榮耀（Glorification） 得榮耀是忠心信徒最終的賞賜。 當主再來時，那些持守信心、順服到底的人，將要復活、得著不朽的身體，並與基督同得榮耀（羅馬書 8:30；哥林多前書 15:51–53；腓立比書 3:20–21；提摩太後書 4:8）。 這是救恩的完成——罪與死亡不再存在，神的子民要永遠與祂同住。 總結： 稱義 —— 在神面前被宣告為義； 成聖 —— 每天活出這義； 得榮耀 —— 主再來時得享永恆的榮耀。 這三者緊緊相連，由同一個信仰體系貫穿——那就是基督與祂使徒所傳的真道。 信心、恩典與順服在其中相輔相成，直到我們在祂裡面得以完全。 Justification Justification is when God counts a person righteous through obedient faith—when one believes, repents, confesses, and is baptized into Christ (Romans 5:1; Acts 2:38; Titus 3:7). It is a change of standing before God. Yet justification is not a one-time declaration only; it continues as we live faithfully and do the will of Go...
