When someone blindly copies others, though knowing the worth of what they copied, and do not think it through, she would quote it at the wrong time, in the wrong occasion, not being relevant, not connecting the dots, not getting … Continue reading

The Differences Between PCA and OPC
Camden Bucey's take on it, I sum it so: The PCA was founded in 1973 after many conservatives left the progressive Presbyterian Church in the United States (PCUS), which is often called the “Southern Presbyterian church.” The OPC was founded … Continue reading

Sunday Service and Sunday School
Lord, quickly come! That is implied from Rev. 22:20. The Fundamentalists such as Janet Mefferd often use this phrase in her prayers in a annoying tone, that's the dispensationalist talk. One could be tempted to hate that phrase not knowing … Continue reading

On Mode of Baptism
I thought I had written this, but I couldn't find it. So here it is, the extreme Baptists have tried to force upon us that baptism by sprinkling was a later mode, in 2nd or 3rd century, though there's no … Continue reading

Many stick around Rev. Stephen Tong because of his fame. Some because of what they could learn from him, but nonetheless, the desire to know someone famous is still there. So they worry about others rival them in such seeking. … Continue reading

Compatibilism
How is it possible that the creature's will falls not outside of the Creator's will (sovereignty)? Novelists do that all the time with their works and characters. it's a wonder how when reading about an antagonist of a good story, … Continue reading

I think these Solar Powered Bible Players are overcharging people at $50-$90 a piece. Thought they were for God, but looks like they wouldn't mind getting a few million bucks out of them as well. Very American. I hope someone … Continue reading

There are no understatements in the Bible: so if any preacher/teacher shows that there is such despite being loyal to God and scripture alone, has unwittingly despised God and His Word. It might not be an objection or anything negative, … Continue reading

撒娇是否罪过？
绝对是罪，但我不太强烈追踪。 这是现代华人文化所提倡的不良习惯。張逸萍(Lois Chan) 曾对竹君，邱清泰夫妇认为撒娇是属灵生命操练的实际，作出批评 （我将其作文在comment区重贴，以免它网页被狗）。撒娇不是圣经所讲的温柔。 我也在以后有机会问唐崇荣的列题页，加了此问题。但Google搜查上，唐崇荣几乎每题到“撒娇”这词，都是在罪的范围。如：不让孩子随便哭，免得撒娇，有人误解约翰在主怀里撒娇，不当主为王而撒娇，等。 除了一次，唐崇荣希伯来书第127讲 （=第151录影片）：约翰是门徒中间最年轻的，他很怕跟耶稣疏远一点，就有一些话听不见了，所以他亲近耶稣到一个地步，有时候把他的头放在他的怀里，不是只有小小的孩子，还五、六岁的时候，有时候跑到妈妈怀抱中间撒娇吗？约翰是撒娇的孩子。一个在主面前常常撒娇，常常愿意最亲近，细心听每一个细节，每一个最小的声音的人，这些人很容易明白上帝的旨意。（不知唐崇荣在此用词不当，不然不会在别处说这同样情况是他人误解）。 英文没有一词可翻成撒娇。但最靠近的意思是：Behave like a spoiled child。但因此翻不够准确，有人将这词在英文归三划：1. Whiny, 2. Lovey-Dovey, 3. Being Cute. 撒娇出自明张四维《双烈记·引狎》：“专会撒娇使性，那管我债重家倾。” 那是明朝时代 （1368年―1644年）。我想这因此为亚洲独特风格，起点是负面的。但今有时则被视为可爱美丽。常常在漫画里有特意表答方式。也许因此也吸引西方年轻一代，特别是那些漫画族。 虽然 張逸萍大大指责对撒娇视为属灵操练的看法，为耍手段以争取美德的虚诈，但她错在把撒娇结论为不是罪过。可能她把撒娇混渣与罗曼蒂克，而罗曼蒂克没有得罪神。所以，在Lovey-Dovey, 我不用撒娇，因为他不一定是撒娇，则用谈恋爱。撒娇还是有点幼稚，虚假，自私。也许这是为什么亚洲人家庭文化通常在成熟，慷慨事上，比不上西方人。
