Sunday Service Summary 2022-02-06
Since I don't have enough time to delve into Revelation (in Sunday School), or Hebrews, because I need more time to start these from scratch again, using Stephen Tong's Hebrews expository and do more research into Revelation. But here are … 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。
