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
