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...

Only One Temple in Jesus’ Time|耶穌在世時只有一個聖殿

In Jesus’ time, there was only one Temple in Jerusalem, where all sacrifices were offered according to the Law of Moses. 在耶穌的時代,耶路撒冷只有一個聖殿,所有的獻祭都按照摩西的律法在那裡進行。 Although there were many synagogues throughout the land for prayer, teaching, and reading Scripture, the Temple still held a unique and sacred position—for certain feast days, such as Passover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles, the Law required the people to go up to Jerusalem to worship. 雖然各地有許多會堂,用於禱告、教導與誦讀聖經,但聖殿仍具有獨特而神聖的地位——在逾越節、五旬節、住棚節等節期,律法要求百姓上耶路撒冷敬拜。 This Temple refers to the Second Temple, originally rebuilt after the Babylonian exile (completed around 516 B.C.), and later greatly expanded by Herod the Great around 20 B.C. It stood in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount and was destroyed by the Romans in A.D. 70. 此聖殿指第二聖殿,最初於被擄歸回後重建(約主前516年完成),後由大希律於主前20年大規模擴建,位於耶路撒冷聖殿山,並於主後70年被羅馬毀滅。 Jesus’ ministry called and prepared people to receive the Law of Christ. 耶穌的事工是呼召並預備人領受基督的律法。 The Old Covenant ceased, and the New Covenant...

Lord of the sabbath day (Mt 12:3-8)

Denny Petrillo (WVBS course notes) 3 But He said to them, “Have you not read what David did, when he became hungry, he and his companions;  ***See article: “Matthew 12 And Situation Ethics”.  Have you not read? This is a rebuke. Of course they had read! 4 how he entered the house of God, and they ate the consecrated bread, which is not lawful for him to eat, nor for those with him, but for the priests alone?  Jesus makes reference to 1 Samuel 21:6. It is called the “show bread” or the “loaves of presentation” because it was publicly set out. What David ate was bread that had been removed, not that which was freshly baked and ready for the table. But still, according to the Law of Moses, it was to be eaten only by the priests (see Lev 24:5-9).  The Pharisees would never have condemned David’s eating of the bread. They would never say David broke the Law. But now they are finding fault with Jesus’ men because they broke the law of the uninspired traditions of ...
