on Respecting other Faiths

The title: Respecting other faiths doesn't mean compromising your own, immediately made "Christian Today" my first guess, instead of "Christianity Today", as the more post-modernist view. Mark Woods' attempt to tolerate some of the customs of other religions shows the … Continue reading

Pursuit of Theology - Misconception (对有追求的误解)

常常在教会有人喜欢对一个年青人说:你很有追求。他很有追求。 其实,其含义是:他对神学很有追求。 我看这其实是一种讽刺。不是故意的,但无论如何还是侮辱性的。 因为“对神学有追求” 不同於“对神有追求“或”对神国有追求“。虽然”对神学有追求“不一定指“对神无追求”,但因“对神有追求” 尽然比 “对神学有追求” 更清楚地解释一个人的立场,为何不用?若不用之,岂不是愿意留位於”对神无追求“的可能性? 所以,当牧师,传道人指一个人说:“这个人有追求”, 这是不对的。如果“有追求”是指“对神的国度有追求”,那该是所有基督徒的责任!而不是一个基督徒有(所以适合读神学),另一个基督徒没有,的陈述。 这样,神学其实是所有基督徒该上的。而不是只限于“有追求” (也不只限于“有呼召”)的。 真信心,是带有追求的。没有信徒以前一大堆的问题,信了之后,以前的问题都根本不在乎了。不然,这是叫“盲信”, 不是真正的信心。可惜是,今天许多东方基督徒是站在“盲信”而不承认是“盲信”的立场。所以,当有些信徒(或糊里糊涂者)叫一些人“你信!只要信!不要问这么多问题!”,其实他的所作所为并不在乎他人的信仰,只不过是要他人加入其“党”派,以至于盼望其“党派”在这世界留下深刻痕迹。

When Homosexuality is brought up during Evangelization

When being asked if homosexuality is a sin today, I think it is wise to generally avoid it if a straight answer is expected, especially when the other side already knows your answer. Not because it is too controversial to … Continue reading

The Sign of Wrongful hiding of sin

Why do some preachers think pedophilia is unforgivable? Because their presupposition of holiness is not practicing confession and repentance but hiding sins with wits. Therefore, in such view, there are some sins that are just too bad to "cover up". … Continue reading
