JY Bible Notes 聖經小筆記

前言（先把方向定準） This is the framing (so we don’t get lost). 這個題目不該被「一句話」草率處理；聖經給的不是廉價安慰，而是把我們帶回神的屬性、人的責任、以及永恆的盼望。 This question should not be handled with a one-liner; Scripture gives direction rooted in God’s nature, human responsibility, and eternal hope. 來源 Sources: https://truthfortheworld.org/blog/2025/11/01/trials-the-will-of-god ———————————————————— 原因一：因為神給人自由意志，所以也容許人選擇的真實後果 Reason 1: God granted human free will, so He allows real consequences of real choices. 神造人不是機器人；若沒有真正的選擇，就沒有真正的愛與順服。 God did not create robots; without genuine choice there can be no genuine love and obedience. 但自由意志的代價是：人可能選擇悖逆；罪因此進入世界，帶來破壞、痛苦、疾病與死亡。 The cost of freedom is that humans may choose rebellion; sin enters and brings destruction, pain, disease, and death. 因此，神「容許後果」不是冷血，而是自由意志本身的必要配套；否則自由就成了假的。 Allowing consequences is not cruelty; it is the necessary counterpart of real freedom—otherwise “freedom” is counterfeit. 來源 Sources: https://apologeticspress.org/why-does-god-allow-diseases-to-occur-3367/ ht...
