Fom: T.A.  I am sure that the faithful will be at rest and in comfort in the Hadean realm after death even as Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31). God is aware of all things . The eyes of the Lord are in every place (Proverbs 15:3). We believe that God is present in all places. It may be that Jesus' presence is in the Hadean realm so that Paul said he could depart and be with the Lord. John said that Christians will see Jesus when He appears for we shall be like Him and see Him as He is (1 John 3:2). It may be that we must wait until that time to actually see Him. But Jesus will be with His people all the way even unto the end of the world (Matthew 28:20). Therefore, I have confidence that Jesus will be with the faithful Christian. 我確信信徒死後會在陰間國度裡擁有安息和舒適，甚至像拉撒路一樣（路加福音16：19-31）。神知道所有的事情。 耶和華的眼目無處不在 （箴言15：3）。我們相信神存在於所有地方。也許耶穌也會同在陰間，所以保羅說他願離世與主同住。約翰說，當耶穌顯現時，基督徒將看到祂，因為我們將像祂一樣，看到祂本來的樣子（約翰一書3：2）。也許我們必須等到那個時候（在審判日）才能真正見到祂。但耶穌將一直與祂的子民同在，直到世界的盡頭（馬太福音28：20）。因此，我相信耶穌會與忠實的基督徒同在。 Jesus is now sitting on ...

From: T.A.   The church of Christ has a 2000 year history. It started in Jerusalem. Jesus built it. It wasn't started by men or a board of directors. It started in Jerusalem , not Rome, Germany or Europe. Most denominations have 500 or less years of existence. They are not the original , nor were they started by Christ, nor do they belong to Christ. The church of Christ accepts only the Bible for its authority. All creeds, catechisms, manuals, disciplines are the writings of uninspired men. They self-contradict and can never bring the unity that Jesus prayed for in John 17.  基督教會有2000年的歷史。她始於耶路撒冷，耶穌建造了她。而不是由人類或董事會開啟的。她始於耶路撒冷，而不是羅馬，德國或歐洲。大多數教派的存在年限為500年或更短。他們不是原本的教會，也不是由基督開始的，也不屬於基督。 基督的教會只接受聖經的權威。所有的信條、教理問答、手冊、紀律都是未被聖靈感動的人的著作。它們自相矛盾，永遠無法帶來耶穌在約翰福音17章所祈求的合一。 教會＝她（基督的新婦） Eph 5:25; Rev 21:2 Jesus prayed that believers be sanctified by God's word which is the truth. The Lord's church worships the Father (John 4:23,24) by prayer, spiritual songs, Bible teaching and preaching a...

  Dave Leonard   Translation & Edition 編譯 : Joyce Yang In the thirteenth chapter of John, Jesus announced that one of His apostles would betray Him and that Peter would deny Him three times. Amid these shocking revelations, Jesus delivers perhaps the strongest blow when He tells His apostles that He is going to leave them, to go somewhere they cannot follow right now. It is understandable that near the beginning and close of this discussion, we read His words, “ Let not your heart be troubled ” (John 14:1, 27).  在約翰福音第十三章，耶穌宣稱：祂的一個使徒將出賣祂，而且彼得將三次否認祂。在這些令人震驚的預言中，也許是最強烈的打擊，就是耶穌也告訴祂的使徒：祂將要離開他們，前往他們此時無法追隨的地方。我們可以理解的是，這次討論的開始和結束，祂都說到： “ 你們心裡不要憂愁 ” （約翰福音 14 ： 1, 27 ）。 Their desire to hold to Jesus was built upon a misunderstanding of the nature of His reign over His kingdom. Jesus never intended to conquer and triumph in a natural or worldly kingdom. His conquest would be over Satan, sin, and death, and His triumph in the kingdom that the prophets described was one tha...
