The Temple of God

-


From: TFTW Bible Collge

A temple is a place of worship. The church is referred to as the temple of God. We saw that before in 2 Corinthians, but Paul says it again in Ephesians 2. “Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.” (Ephesians 2:19-22) 

This describes the worship aspect of the church. The tabernacle and the temple were a place to worship God and the place where God dwelt. God dwells among His people today in the church, which is the current temple of God. It is there where Christians gather to worship God.

Speaker: Don Blackwell Scripture: Luke 17:1-3 Website: Willow Avenue Church of Christ https://www.willowcofc.net/ Video: https://www.youtube.com/live/G0CwQfl3YMo?si=Y5PyqjXAxuOiTVX8 Mat 18:21  Then Peter came and said to Him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Mat 18:22  Jesus *said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. Mat 18:21   那時，彼得進前來，對耶穌說：「主啊，我弟兄得罪我，我當饒恕他幾次呢？到七次可以嗎？」 Mat 18:22   耶穌說：「我對你說，不是到七次，乃是到七十個七次。 Brethren, I want to suggest to you this morning that questions about forgiving a brother who has sinned against you is not a new thing. They existed even when the Lord was on this earth. And they are troubling enough that one of the apostles felt the need to come and ask Jesus directly about it. 弟兄們，今天早上我想向你們分享關於原諒得罪你們的弟兄的問題，這不是個新鮮的課題。 即使是耶穌在這個世上時，這問題也存在。他們很困擾，以至於其中一個使徒覺得有必要來直接向耶穌詢問這件事。 How frequently should I forgive my brother? I me...

哥林多前書 7:10–11 經文釋義與應用：再婚與復合的界線

Discuss with GPT 哥林多前書 7:10–11 經文釋義與應用：再婚與復合的界線 本釋義旨在釐清保羅在哥林多前書第七章中對於「離婚、再婚與復合」的教導，特別著重於「非姦淫理由下離婚者是否可以再婚」的問題，並強調唯一符合聖經原則的再婚對象是原配偶。以下從原文詞義、歷史背景與經文邏輯三方面解釋： 一、詞義分析：「ἄγαμος」（未婚者）的語意 在哥林多前書 7:11 中，中文《和合本修訂版》（CUV）翻作： 「 若是離開了，就不可再嫁 ，或仍與丈夫和好。」 而英文譯本如 NASB1995 與 KJV 則是： “but if she does leave, she must  remain unmarried , or else be reconciled to her husband.” — NASB1995 “but and if she depart, let her  remain unmarried , or be reconciled to her husband.” — KJV 🧭 希臘原文「μενέτω ἄγαμος」直譯為「就要仍為未婚者」 （remain unmarried），強調的是 她的身分狀態 已非婚姻之中 ，這是描述現實狀況而非頒佈禁令。 🟥 中文「不可再嫁」的譯法，在語氣上過於法律化，易讓人誤會這句話是在「命令不能再婚」，其實保羅在此是提出兩個選項： 離婚後保持未婚（ἄγαμος）， 或與原配復合（καταλλαγήτω）。 這裡的重點是： 沒有開放再與第三人建立婚姻（或同居）關係的選項 。 此詞在哥林多前書第 7 章多次出現（如第8、11、32節），皆指「未婚者」的狀態，而非單純指短暫分居。因此，7:11 中的「若離婚，就要守獨身」中的「未婚狀態」應理解為真正離婚，而非分居狀態。 經文位置 希臘文 KJV 英文翻譯 中文和合本 林前7:8 τοῖς ἀγάμοις καὶ ταῖς χήραις To the unmarried and widows 我對未婚的人和寡婦說 林前7:11 μένειν ἄγαμον remain unmarried 仍要守獨身 林前7:32 ὁ ἄγαμος μεριμνᾷ he who is unmarried cares for 沒有娶妻的，是為主的事掛慮 從上...
