The story of Abraham (6)

Gen 12:14  When Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.

Gen 12:15  And when the princes of Pharaoh saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

Gen 12:16  And for her sake he dealt well with Abram; and he had sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.

Gen 12:17  But the LORD afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.

Gen 12:18  So Pharaoh called Abram and said, "What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?

Gen 12:19  Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her for my wife? Now then, here is your wife; take her, and go."

Gen 12:20  And Pharaoh gave men orders concerning him, and they sent him away with his wife and all that he had.

死守「教義」就能更接近真理嗎？

聖經是神的話語，教義是人對聖經的理解。

神的話語不可加添，不可刪減 (申4:2; 啟22:17-18)。同時，神的話語安定在天，大有能力，帶給人安慰與倚靠 (詩119)。教義只是人對於聖經的整理，是人根據時空的情況，將聖經的基本道理作出解釋。如果教義 = 真理 = 神的話語，請問，以最嚴格的角度來說，宣稱「教義就是簡明版的聖經/真理」！這句話本身，是不是 = 刪減神的話語 (神說了一本聖經的話語，人竟然敢宣稱教義就是聖經的簡明版！)？請問真神什麼時候宣告過：教義就是真理的簡明版？

請rawls姐和happy兄解惑。

問：認知與教義不同是不是就是傳異端？
答：「更正教義」和「成為異端」毫無關連。

雖有憂愁的事

世人多有憂愁。有的憂愁病痛、有的憂愁錢財；有的憂愁國家大事、有的憂愁家庭子女；有的憂愁愛情、有的憂愁工作。那麼耶穌基督呢？這道成肉身的人子，乃是充滿萬有的天父真神(約1:1; 10:30)，看見祂就是看見天父(約14:9)，其聖靈沒有限量(約3:34)，又明白萬人的心思意念(約2:24-25)；這樣的人子，會否憂愁？若有，祂又在憂愁什麼？

The story of Abraham (5)

Gen 12:11  When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, "I know that you are a woman beautiful in appearance,

Gen 12:12  and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, 'This is his wife.' Then they will kill me, but they will let you live.

Gen 12:13  Say you are my sister, that it may go well with me because of you, and that my life may be spared for your sake."

The story of Abraham (4)

Gen 12:10 Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was severe in the land.

愛與火

真神在火燒荊棘的異象中向摩西顯現，要摩西帶領以色列百姓出埃及(出3:2-4)。摩西大概想不到在這麼平凡的一天，竟然會遇到真神；更想不到的是，真神竟是住在荊棘中(申33:16)。言下之意，在那火燒的荊棘異象中，真神乃是烈火！但為何是火？
