權柄和權力的差別

-

‘By what authority are you doing these things?’ they asked. ‘And who gave you this authority?’ – Slide 4

权柄（Authority）和权力（Power）分别使用不同的英文词语来描述，可见两者之间确有区别，但是也有人把两者都翻译为“能力”，并不加以区分。

“权柄”

常指从生命或榜样而来的“影响力”。若说某领袖拥有属灵的“权威”，就是形容他有其他人所没有的“权柄”和“影响力”。主耶稣讲道具备属灵“权柄”，比当时的文士更有能力（参可1:22），这里就翻译为“权柄”，所以主耶稣是有权柄的主（Authority）。

Mark 1:22

(Chinese UV (T))  眾人很希奇他的教訓；因為他教訓他們，正像有權柄的人，不像文士。

(KJV)  And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.


“能力”或“权力”

常指能够行出神迹的大能，例如耶稣平静风和海（参可4:35-41）的时候，门徒说：“这到底是谁？连大自然界都听从他。”主耶稣是满有大能（Power）的主！能力是一种实际的大能，也是一种像“火药”一般的力量。

请参可5:30，当中提到有“能力”从耶稣身上出来。

Mark 5:30

(Chinese UV (T))  耶穌頓時心裡覺得有能力從自己身上出去，就在眾人中間轉過來，說：「誰摸我的衣裳？」

(KJV)  And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

Subject: "Should I Forgive A Brother Who Won't Repent?" Speaker: Don Blackwell Scripture: Luke 17:1-3 Website: https://www.willowcofc.net/ Willow Avenue Church of Christ Video: https://www.youtube.com/live/G0CwQfl3YMo?si=Y5PyqjXAxuOiTVX8 Then Peter came to Jesus, and he said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him.  Up to seven times? Jesus said to him, I do not say to you up to seven times, but up to 70 times seven.  (Mt 18:21-22). 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. How frequently should I forgive my brother? I mean, my patience runs out sometimes. I mean, sometimes enough is enough. Where do I draw the line? Peter said, is seven times enough? You know, I've got the idea that Peter...

Together: Forgive One Another

From:  Brent Kercheville - West Palm Beach church of Christ False Understanding of Forgiveness In our culture, forgiveness is a unilateral internal effort to get my own emotions under control. It is a therapeutic view of forgiveness. Forgiveness is about me. We see this in the way the word “forgiveness” is used. For example, we will hear people say that you need to forgive yourself. This does not make sense using the word biblically. The scriptures never say to forgive yourself. But what people mean about forgiving yourself is this unilateral internal effort to get your own emotions under control and move yourself to some sort of happy place. This is not a biblical view but you can see why there is confusion when we discuss forgiveness from a biblical basis.  Another example of this misunderstanding of forgiveness is that you will hear people say that they have forgiven God or cannot forgive God. This is also nonsensical and ultimately blasphemous since God cannot do wrong and...
