Journal of the Week

Posted on October 12, 2026 by timlyg

10/15/2026 Thursday I have theorized this, that Jesus chiefly rebukes leaders or teachers. I guess I am not the only one. The Holy Post Media dealt with this a little bit: However, I am still wondering about it. Next, this … Continue reading →

一首流傳深遠的勸善格言

Posted on October 10, 2026 by timlyg

Learned of this poem from my Buddhist-ish high school friend on Facebook with his AI postings: 「勸君莫做缺德事，家中自有還債人」是一首流傳深遠的勸善格言，核心在於警惕世人因果報應、積德行善與做人留有餘地的人生哲理。 [1] 全詩內容 勸君莫做缺德事，家中自有還債人。莫道因果無人見，遠在兒孫近在身。十分聰明用七分，留下三分與兒孫。抬頭莫怨神不佑，低頭自省有漏行。善惡到頭終有報，福禍皆由己釀成。 [1] 詩句白話解析 善惡到頭終有報，福禍皆由己釀成：善惡終有清算的一天，人生的福氣與災禍，並非憑空而降，全都是自己平日的所作所為所累積造就的。 [1] 勸君莫做缺德事，家中自有還債人：告誡人不要做損人利己、昧良心的壞事；若造了惡業，有時報應不會直接顯在自己身上，反而可能波及至親或後代，彷彿他們成了替你還債的人。 [1] 莫道因果無人見，遠在兒孫近在身：不要以為暗地裡做壞事就神不知鬼不覺。因果規律一直都在，時間一到，輕則報應在自己身上，重則延續到下一代。 [1, 2] 十分聰明用七分，留下三分與兒孫：做人做事不要太過精明、算盡或絕情；才華與心機只要保留七分即可，另外留三分厚道、福氣與轉圜的餘地給子孫。 [1] 抬頭莫怨神不佑，低頭自省有漏行：當遭遇不順或挫折時，不要一味埋怨老天或神明沒有保佑，而應當低頭自我反省，檢視自己言行舉止是否有疏漏或虧心之處。 [1, 2] The reason I make this entry … Continue reading →

学生不能高过先生；仆人不能高过主人。

Posted on October 8, 2026 by timlyg

On Matthew 10:24 - Stephen Tong's interpretation - This is only about suffering. The master suffers more than the students. This is never about greatness comparison, but the other direction, if read in context. Since Jesus already promised us doing … Continue reading →

Reproach vs. Slander

Posted on October 5, 2026 by timlyg

I cannot agree with Stephen Tong completely here in the context of Hebrews 10:33 on the original text's term for 毀謗. In Greek it's ὀνειδισμός. Tong conflates this with Katalalia / Blasphemia. Unfortunately, Chinese translation can go no further than … Continue reading →

How College Majors Relates to Politics and Religiosity

Posted on October 1, 2026 by timlyg

This is a fun take. The chart below is interesting. Finance bros are way religious and furthest to the right wing of the chart. The total opposite of it are the environmental studies (Fine Arts as well) folks.
