Sermon - Stephen Tong Sunday Service 12/13/2020 Matthew 7:6

Indonesian Version:

Kejujuran di dalam kebenaran.

Bagaimana itu digigit babi?

Anjing dihina juga disayang, paradox. Domba tidak dihina.
Rev 22:15 dogs outside of the kingdom.

Anjing setia terhadap tuannya, tapi tak ada tulang. Tuan itu sebagai allah anjing. Kucing mau dilayan seperti allah. Because you give the dog, it will be loyal to you, why people like dogs? because a good partner that obeys you, even if your love is fake. Evaluation power of a dog is the worst. Man is best at classification of values.

If you find a talented person, quickly learn from him. It's stupid to throw away this opportunity. 孔子曰:“益者三友,损者三友:友直,友谅,友多闻,益矣;友便辟,友善柔,友便佞,损矣。”(《季氏》第十六)

Paling pintar zaman ini, Soren Kierkegaard. Most original thinking. But looked down by his peers. But his pen-name was well celebrated by them. Influenced many: Buber, Barth, etc.

Jangan beri anjing, maksudnya: yang tidak mengetahui, tidak berhak diberi.

Mentioned at around 1:46:00 online version: Order of the Will of God: Rencana (计划 decree), Mengatur semua (安排 arrangement), pimpim langkah (引导 guidance of the Holy Spirit), perbolehkan/diizinkan (许可 permission), biarkan (任凭 given away = Judas).

Chinese Version:

Dog is most despised as well as most loved. Closest to man, loyal.
Luke 16:21 dog licking...loved.

Psa 49:20 Men who are like dogs (beasts) because they don't care to understand divine matters.

It is very wrong to treat dogs same level as man: viz. Those who are provoked by abuse of dogs more than abuse of man.

The justice viewed by many Arabian Muslims is mixed with vengeance.

Stephen Hawking's denial of God mentioned. (because science can explain, therefore no need God, bad use of the prophetic function of man.)

Tong questioned everyone: Did Jesus hope for Judas to change? (hint: go do what you want to do). Two reasons of Judas' apostlehood: So that others like Judas will have no excuse. Secondly, so that teachers will be comforted when they have Judas as student.
