返回研究目录 上一篇 下载中文 下一篇 守安息日为圣 今天我们要简单地探讨安息日这个课题当中的一些要点。相信这教导对许多人来说是了如指掌的，也是多年以来最备受关注的课题，特别是安息日会复临信徒。 大多数人是因为安息日而认识了基督复临安息日会这个教派。事实上，上帝在过去兴起基督复临安息日会的主要目的之一，就是要恢复安息日的遵守。上帝已指定我们必须在这一天敬拜祂，这也是十条诫命当中的第四条。 在怀爱伦先知的著作里有一个预言清楚说到：“时候将到，安息日将会被世人轻视”。首先，让我们回到上帝的诫命，是记载在出埃及记，并详细地读完第四条诫命，然后再看看可以从中汲取什么教训。 出埃及记 20:8-11 “当记念安息日，守为圣日。六日要劳碌作你一切的工，但第七日是向耶和华你上帝当守的安息日。这一日你和你的儿女、仆婢、牲畜，并你城里寄居的客旅，无论何工都不可作，因为六日之内，耶和华造天、地、海和其中的万物，第七日便安息，所以耶和华赐福与安息日，定为圣日。 这里说当记念安息日，并要做什么呢？守为圣日。这是第四条诫命中的核心点。我们不仅要纪念安息日，还要守这日为圣。那我们知道安息日的设立是为了纪念创世大工，纪念上帝在六日之内创造天地万物并在第七日安息了。 因此，安息日的设立是为了让我们纪念创造跟我们的创造主。但是它并没有停在那里，上帝不仅单单要我们纪念祂。这段经文接着说： 守为圣日。六日要劳碌作你一切的工，但第七日是向耶和华你上帝当守的安息日。这一日你和你的儿女、仆婢、牲畜，并你城里寄居的客旅，无论何工都不可作，因为六日之内，耶和华造天、地、海和其中的万物，第七日便安息，所以耶和华赐福与安息日，定为圣日。 我想花一点时间来探讨这个圣洁,或神圣的概念。因为这是第四条诫命的中心点。我们不光要纪念安息日，还要守它为圣日。现在就让我们翻开圣经的最后一本书，启示录 15:3-4。 启示录 15:3-4 唱上帝仆人摩西的歌和羔羊的歌，说：“主上帝，全能者啊，你的作为大哉，奇哉！万世之王啊（“世”或作“国”），你的道途义哉，诚哉！主啊，谁敢不敬畏你，不将荣耀归与你的名呢？因为独有你是圣的，万民都要来在你面前敬拜，因你公义的作为已经显出来了。” 在这里，我们读到唯独上帝是圣洁的。问题是，诫命要我们守安息日为圣。但是这里却说独有上帝才是圣的。换句话说，上帝是唯一圣洁的一位，那祂如何命令我们守这日为圣或使我们成圣呢？ 我们必须明白的是，上帝有一位独生子，从祂怀里出来的亲生儿子，希伯来书称耶稣为上帝本体的真像。那作为上帝真实的儿子并祂本体的真像，耶稣与父一样，同是圣洁的。不然的话，祂就不是真神的真像了。 这就是圣洁的泉源结束的地方，就是唯独上帝，那万有的本源，和祂儿子耶稣在本质上是圣洁的。因此，除了他们俩以外没有人是圣洁的。除非我们与圣洁的源头结合，或领受祂们的圣洁。 让我们来探讨圣经中几个有关圣洁的情景，几个与上帝和祂的圣洁有关联的例子。我们从启示录 4：8-11 开始。 启示录 4:8-11 四活物各有六个翅膀，遍体内外都满了眼睛。他们昼夜不住地说：“圣哉，圣哉，圣哉，主上帝是昔在、今在、以后永在的全能者！”每逢四活物将荣耀、尊贵、感谢归给那坐在宝座上、活到永永远远者的时候，那二十四位长老就俯伏在坐宝座的面前敬拜那活到永永远远的，又把他们的冠冕放在宝座前，说：“我们的主，我们的上帝，你是配得荣耀、尊贵、权柄的，因为你创造了万物，并且万物是因你的旨意被创造而有的。” 我们能够想象这幕场景吗？围绕着上帝宝座的所有生物都清楚理解圣洁是什么。我们都必须查考圣经以学习有关圣洁的课题，因为遵守第四条诫命是极为重要的。 在安息日休息不工作是不足够的，加上我们不但要纪念这一日，还要做到守安息日为圣。由此，今天我们每一个人都必须知道如何守安息日为圣。 我们必须明白的是，我个人对圣的定义和你对圣的定义也许会不一样，每个人或许有自己的看法和理解，所以我们必须从圣经中找出它最正确的定义。 我们先来看圣经里的一个故事，它特别为我们启示，一个人若没有跟从与圣洁攸关的指示，其所带来的后果会是怎样的，而且这后果必是非常严重的。我们来看 撒母耳记下 6:6-11 到了拿艮的禾场，因为牛失前蹄（或作“惊跳”），乌撒就伸手扶住上帝的约柜。上帝耶和华向乌撒发怒，因这错误击杀他，他就死在上帝的约柜旁。大卫因耶和华击杀（原文作“闯杀”）乌撒，心里愁烦，就称那地方为毗列斯乌撒，直到今日。那日，大卫惧怕耶和华，说：“耶和华的约柜怎可运到我这里来？”于是大卫不肯将耶和华的约柜运进大卫的城，却运到迦特人俄别以东的家中。耶和华的约柜在迦特人俄别以东家中三个月，耶和华赐福给俄别以东和他的全家。 当我们读到这个故事时，我们可能会想，等等，这是怎么回事呢，为什么会这样。这个人单纯地只想做一件好事。眼看牛失蹄了，这位男人就因为害怕约柜会倒在地上，而伸出援手去扶住它。 他是怀着善意的，他的出发点单单是想避免约柜倒在地上。到底他何错之有呢？如果我们只读完这段经文，我们可能心想我们所侍奉的上帝或许不太公平，甚至有些残忍。 为什么上帝要击杀这位好心人呢？让我们翻开民数记以找出答案。民数记 4:15 民数记 4:15 将要起营的时候，亚伦和他儿子把圣所和圣所的一切器具遮盖完了，哥辖的子孙就要来抬，只是不可摸圣物，免得他们死亡。会幕里这些物件是哥辖子孙所当抬的。 “将要起营的时候，亚伦和他儿子把圣所和圣所的一切器具遮盖完了，哥辖的子孙就要来抬”， 让我们在这里停顿一下。我们知道以色列人在旷野搭建了一个圣幕。我们也晓得这些以色列人不会长久呆在一处，他们在旷野中不断迁移。所以上帝在如何设立圣所并谁能在圣所里供职这些方面上给了他们清楚的指示，而且祂这样做是有原因的。让我们继续读完这节经文。 “只是不可摸圣物，免得他们死亡。会幕里这些物件是哥辖子孙所当抬的。” 上帝无比清楚地给了他们明确的指示，让他们知道要如何处理圣物。另外，我们从这里学到的教训就是，圣洁是比我们想象中还要大的，且更为要紧的。 话说回来，大卫在这件事情发生后心里非常矛盾和困惑。他无法理解上帝为什么要这么做。怀爱伦先知在先祖与先知这本书里 有稍微谈到大卫当时的反应。让我们来读一读，看看事情为什么会如此发生。 大卫与他的百姓会合，他们安排了这项神圣的任务，是以欢欣乐意的心情来从事的； 但由于他们没有遵照耶和华的指示而行，因此祂就不能悦纳他们的服务。非利士人不知道上帝的律例，所以当他们把约柜送回以色列之地时，虽然把它放在牛车上运走，但耶和华却认可他们如此行。可是以色列人的手中有上帝的圣旨，有关于搬运约柜之事的明确指示，所以当他们忽略了这些指示，就是侮辱了上帝。乌撒则犯了更大的擅专之罪。他曾违犯了上帝的律法，故对约柜的神圣性感觉麻木了，他身上还有未曾承认的罪，竟敢冒犯上帝的禁令，而擅自触摸那代表上帝临格的象征。上帝不能接受一部分的顺从，不容许人在遵守他诫命的事上疏忽大意。他要借着那降在乌撒身上的刑罚使全以色列人得到深刻的印象，知道严格注意上帝命令的重要性。这样，一个人的死亡可以令百姓悔改，免得上帝的刑罚降在千万人身上。（怀爱伦著，《先祖与先知》原文第705页，第3段） “大卫与他的百姓会合，他们安排了这项神圣的任务，是以欢欣乐意的心情来从事的； 但由于他们没有遵照耶和华的指示而行，因此祂就不能悦纳他们的服务。非利士人不知道上帝的律例，所以当他们把约柜送回以色列之地时，虽然把它放在牛车上运走，但耶和华却认可他们如此行。” 上帝对他们的无知睁一只眼闭一只眼。上帝根据每个人所得到的亮光来审判各人。 “可是以色列人的手中有上帝的圣旨，有关于搬运约柜之事的明确指示，所以当他们忽略了这些指示，就是侮辱了上帝。乌撒则犯了更大的擅专之罪。他曾违犯了上帝的律法，故对约柜的神圣性感觉麻木了，他身上还有未曾承认的罪，竟敢冒犯上帝的禁令，而擅自触摸那代表上帝临格的象征。上帝不能接受一部分的顺从，不容许人在遵守他诫命的事上疏忽大意。” 朋友们，是什么造成死亡呢？什么事必定会导致死亡呢？就是罪，因为经上记着说，罪的工价乃是死。 “他要借着那降在乌撒身上的刑罚使全以色列人得到深刻的印象，知道严格注意上帝命令的重要性。这样，一个人的死亡可以令百姓悔改，免得上帝的刑罚降在千万人身上。” 所以即使在这一个大卫认为不公平的举动之中，我们也看见了上帝大爱的彰显，因为这件事救了千万人免受刑罚。不过上帝并没有任意选了乌撒来罚他或牺牲他的，而是乌撒本身有罪，因此承受了罪的代价。接下来，在怀爱伦著作中的下一面，她提到了大卫，我们来看。 上帝的谴责在大卫身上已经生效。他因此空前地体会到上帝律法的神圣，以及严格顺从的必要。上帝施恩给俄别以东全家，使大卫再希望约柜会使他和他的百姓蒙福。（怀爱伦著，《先祖与先知》原文第706页，第2段） 当然这里的律法是概括性的，这包括祂所有的律法和话语。但是当我们回到第四条诫命时，显而易见的就是这与我们所谈到的都有相同的道理。这是关乎一个神圣的课题，是一个宇宙的上帝要求或指示我们守之为圣的日子。 圣经里有一个很好的故事，虽然它与安息日没有直接的关系，但是它对我们今天所要学习和理解的道理很有帮助。这故事记载在路加福音 10:38-42，在我们读的当儿，我要你们好好思考以下这个问题，安息日其实是为了什么而被设立的呢？是什么让这一日成为圣洁的呢，而我们在那日又如何成为圣洁呢？ 路加福音 10:38-42 他们走路的时候，耶稣进了一个村庄。有一个女人名叫马大，接他到自己家里。她有一个妹子名叫马利亚，在耶稣脚前坐着听他的道。马大伺候的事多，心里忙乱，就进前来说：“主啊，我的妹子留下我一个人伺候，你不在意吗？请吩咐她来帮助我。”耶稣回答说：“马大，马大！你为许多的事思虑烦扰，但是不可少的只有一件，马利亚已经选择那上好的福分，是不能夺去的。” 圣经在这儿为我们呈现了两种人。 马利亚清楚明白耶稣的身份并耶稣对她的重要性。只要有机会与耶稣同在，她就愿意把所有的一切都放下，不让其他事物来占据她的思想。她想要做的唯一事情就是花时间与耶稣共处并与祂交谈，向祂学习并享受祂的同在。 反之，我们看到她的姐姐马大依然在劳碌奔波，忙东忙西，继续忙着做她一贯所做的事情。她忙着打扫，忙着预备食物等等，希望能为她的主预备一切，使他得到最好的待遇。 尽管如此，主以为我们预备了一个特别的日子，使我们能得到所谓的充电，一个我们都应该把焦点完全放在祂身上的日子。为什么呢？因为祂赐给了我们六天的时间来忙碌，来完成自己的私事。 这就是我们每一天的生活，我们必须做工，读书，做饭，打扫家居，照顾家人等等。但是到了第七日，耶稣以一种特别的方式来到我们的生命中。我们都晓得上帝给安息日赐下了特别的祝福。而玛利亚也清楚明白了与主同在并与主联系意味着什么。我们来看历代愿望一书中的一段引言。 马大不应该缺少“一件事”，就是安详虔诚的精神，一种对关乎将来不朽之生命的知识，和灵程长进所必需的恩典更为深邃的思虑。她应该少为暂时的事操心，而多为永恒的事焦急。耶稣教导他的儿女们，务必抓紧每一个机会来获得真知识，使他们能有得救的智慧。基督的圣工固然需要审慎积极的工人；广大的工作园地，正需要像马大这样热心从事宗教活动的人；但是，他们务要先同马利亚一起坐在耶稣脚前；务要藉基督的恩典使他们的殷勤、敏捷和魄力成圣；然后他们的人生才能成为一股不可征服的向善的力量。（怀爱伦著，《历代愿望》原文第525页，第2段） 弟兄姐妹们，若要遵守一个日子为圣，我们就必须与圣洁的来源合而为一。 我们都像马利亚一样，需要坐在耶稣的脚前向他学习，选择那永远不能被夺去的上好福分。我们像马大一样也需要常常竭力多作主工。那较高超的基督徒成就，惟在乎多用双膝跪下作诚恳的祈祷。……若有一丝自私的根保留在心灵之内，当不防备之时或要发芽生长，因而有多人沾染污秽。（怀爱伦著，《使我们认识祂》原文第351页，第4段） 在以赛亚书第58章最后两节，上帝在安息日的课题上给了我们一些明确的指示和教导，并让我们晓得上帝在这一天对我们的要求是什么。 以赛亚书 58:13-14 “你若在安息日掉转（或作“谨慎”）你的脚步，在我圣日不以操作为喜乐，称安息日为可喜乐的，称耶和华的圣日为可尊重的，而且尊敬这日，不办自己的私事，不随自己的私意，不说自己的私话，你就以耶和华为乐。耶和华要使你乘驾地的高处，又以你祖雅各的产业养育你。”这是耶和华亲口说的。 “你若在安息日掉转你的脚步，在我圣日不以操作为喜乐，称安息日为可喜乐的，称耶和华的圣日为可尊重的，而且尊敬这日，不办自己的私事，不随自己的私意，不说自己的私话。” 那我们要是不说自己的私话，那我们应该说谁的话和听谁的话呢？ 自己的话吗？我们一周内的成就吗？我们生意上的成绩吗？不是的，是基督的话语才对。玛利亚就是知道基督的话语有多么的可贵。她明白这些话语是公义和圣洁的来源。让我们继续读下去。 “你就以耶和华为乐。耶和华要使你乘驾地的高处，又以你祖雅各的产业养育你。这是耶和华亲口说的。”上帝藉着安息日赐下特别的福气给那些愿意领受的人。 论到安息日，有一件我们必须注意的事，是不要论断别人，因为我们不能看透人心，也不理解别人的处境。也许他人还未得到亮光，未明白安息日的真理，或者缺乏知识，不晓得要如何守安息日。这就是为什么上帝根据个人所得的亮光来审判世人。 尽管如此，上帝给我们祂的话语，即圣经和预言之灵，是有其原因的。我们得到了这些亮光，就应该好好地去研究，明白真理并与他人分享。现在让我们翻开教会证言卷六，来看看上帝赐给怀爱伦先知的一些知识，使我们有一些概念，在安息日来临前该做什么准备，并在安息日当天有什么要特别注意的。 安息日开始 在星期五这一天，为安息日所作的一切准备都应当完成。所有的衣服都要预备妥当，一切的饭食也当作好。此外如擦鞋，沐浴等事，均应一一办妥。这是可能做到的，只要你肯定规把它做成，则自然不难办到。安息日这天并不是给人缝补衣裳，烹调食物，寻求欢乐，或从事其它俗务的。在日落之前当将一切世俗的工作放在一边，一切世俗的报章杂志，也当收藏起来。做父母的当向儿女说明其所以如此行的原因和目的，并让他们也在这准备遵照诫命守安息日的事上有份。（怀爱伦著，《教会证言卷六》原文第355页，第3段） 根据上帝的话语，要遵守一个日子为圣是有一些条件的。我们再来看一段引言，也是同一页的上一段。 许多人须受教知道如何整肃仪表，以参赴安息日崇拜聚会。他们来到上帝面前，不应还穿着平素的衣服。各人都当有一身特为安息日而制备的服装，作为到上帝殿中参赴聚会时穿着之用。我们固然不应效法世界的风尚，但也决不可不关心自己的仪表。我们虽应避免盛妆艳服，但仍须讲求清洁整齐，因为上帝的子民在外表和内心都当纯洁。（怀爱伦著，《教会证言卷六》原文第355页，第2段） 接下来，我们来翻开第360页的第1段。 当我们迫不得已而需要在安息日旅行之时，也当设法避免与那些会吸引我们去注意俗事的人同行。当保守我们的心意，专心思念上帝，与衪谈心。遇有机会，就当向人传讲真理。要时常准备，以便救济受难的人，帮助缺乏者，在这一类的事情上，上帝要我们将衪所给的智慧和知识，付诸实用。但我们却不应商谈业务，或作任何普通的、世俗的谈话。因为随时随在，上帝都要我们藉着尊敬安息日，证实我们对衪的忠诚。（怀爱伦著，《教会证言卷六》原文第360页，第1段） “当我们迫不得已而需要在安息日旅行之时，也当设法避免与那些会吸引我们去注意俗事的人同行。当保守我们的心意，专心思念上帝，与衪谈心。遇有机会，就当向人传讲真理。要时常准备，以便救济受难的人，帮助缺乏者，在这一类的事情上，上帝要我们将衪所给的智慧和知识，付诸实用。但我们却不应商谈业务，或作任何普通的、世俗的谈话。” 我们不应该做任何世俗的谈话。为什么呢？记得我们在以赛亚书上所读的吗？在上帝的安息日不可说自己的私话。 “因为随时随在，上帝都要我们藉着尊敬安息日，证实我们对衪的忠诚。” 这段话是特别写给上帝的传道人的，就是那些到各个地方去传福音的弟兄姐妹们，当然我们尽可能要避免在圣安息日旅行到别的地方去。 但是如果无可避免的话，那我们应该注意我们的心思意念和言行举止。因为上帝所看的，是我们的出发点和我们行为的动机。 很多时候，我们没有遵守安息日的行为只是一些症状，而我们没有守安息日为圣的原因，或问题的根源，是因为我们个人没有与基督建立美好的关系。 也许我们还不明白玛利亚所明白的道理。我们没有玛利亚所拥有的欲望，就是当基督在她身边的时候她所要得到的。因此，很多时候，我们不断地想把这些症状治好，但却不断失败，也许每一次都失败。 因为我们没有对症下药，或更准确地说，我们不知道这问题的根本所在。好，现在让我们再读一段引言。 “我们要命令所有人，如果可以避免的话，尽可能不要在安息日洗他们的碗碟。在上帝的圣日做任何不必要的工作会让上帝蒙羞。如果可以的话，碗碟应该留到安息日结束之后才洗，这样做不会显得不一致，反而更加妥当。” （怀爱伦著，《信函》第104号，1901年，原文第9段） 我们尽可能避免在安息日洗碗碟，除非逼不得已。我们是在家里进行家庭崇拜的，那比如说用餐时我们不够碗碟供大家使用的情况，那么先用完餐的弟兄姐妹可以先把碗碟洗干净，再把餐具传给其他人。因此，正如我刚才所说的，很多时候最重要的是我们的出发点。接下来我们看这一段： 关于上帝就祂的圣日对你的要求，你必须有更高的见解。凡在上帝已赐给你的那六天能做成的事，你都应在那六天完成。但是圣日的时间，你不应抢夺上帝一时一刻。（怀爱伦著，《教会证言—卷二》原文第701页，第3段） 安息日结束 当太阳西沉之时，要有祈祷之声和赞美的歌声表示神圣的时间的终止，邀请上帝在劳作周的种种忧虑中与我们同在。（怀爱伦著，《教会证言—卷六》原文359页，第1段） 朋友们，我们刚刚在旧约圣经中所看到的，就是上帝对于守安息日为圣这件事上所作的一些要求，而这些要求被详细地记载在这些证言中，是有它的目的的。除此之外，我们越发亲近上帝时，就会越发明白这些真理。 因为你与上帝越要好，你就会越不想在上帝的圣日中抢夺祂的一分一秒。因为我们会以耶和华为乐，我们会在这特别的日子与我们这位特别的神，并祂儿子享受在一起的美好时光。 难得我们可以在这一天完全撇下一切的工作，一切的劳苦重担，忧愁挂虑并世俗的任何事情而来到上帝的面前，全心全意地与父和子相交，享受从天而来的福份。 说到这里呢，我想分享一个对我们很重要但许多人却都忽略的道理，记载在雅各书2:8-10。 雅各书 2:8-10 经上记着说：“要爱人如己。”你们若全守这至尊的律法，才是好的；但你们若按外貌待人，便是犯罪，被律法定为犯法的。因为凡遵守全律法的，只在一条上跌倒，他就是犯了众条。 我们必须遵守全十条律法。那让我来问你，你能够守安息日为圣却不孝敬父母吗？根据这段经文，答案很明显是不能。我们不能在守安息日或任何一条诫命的当儿又同时干犯另一条诫命。我们若是拜其他神或拜偶像的话，试问能守得安息日为圣吗？当然不能。为什么呢？因为圣经说，凡遵守全律法的，只要在一条上跌倒，他就是犯了众条。 这就是为什么上帝末时的子民，也被称为余民或圣徒, 不仅是守安息日的，而且也是守上帝诫命和耶稣真道的，你可以在启示录14：12看到这一点。我们不可能只守一条，但在其他诫命上跌倒，却误以为自己遵守了诫命。 我们必须有基督住在我们里头，靠着祂的力量来遵守全十条诫命，并结出圣灵的果子。只有这样，我们才能有基督的品格并有能力去面对那要来临的兽印记的大艰难时期。 单单知道关于安息日是不足够的，只知道星期日和三位一体敬拜是兽的印记也是不足够的。因为当那时候来到时，我们很有可能会跌倒。唯有基督藉着祂的灵住在我们里面，为我们塑造祂的品格，我们才能遵守得住所有的诫命并忍耐到底，直等到基督复临。 朋友们，让我们继续寻求上帝的公义，并祈求祂藉着祂儿子赐给我们祂的义，也让我们能遵守祂的安息日为圣，作为一个能使我们分别为圣的印记并藉着这一日与父并祂儿子更亲近。愿我们每一位都能认识上帝，经历祂，并有坚定的信心来奔走天国的道路。愿上帝赐福每一位，阿门。 上一篇 返回研究目录 下一篇 到最頂

All trinity studies Previous Download 看中文 Next Father, Son and Holy Spirit "Father, Son and Holy Spirit" There are many churches and Christians today who worship the trinity god, because they believe Matthew 28:19 and 1 John 5:7 are speaking of three co-equal and co-eternal beings. But what they all fail to do is actually use the Bible to interpret these two verses. We are told in Isaiah 28 that we are to use the "line upon line" precept when studying the Bible. Which means we are to interpret scripture with scripture, and not with what we "think" something means. So this is what we are going to do on this page regarding Matthew 28:19 and 1 John 5:7. Instead of just "thinking" ourselves what those verses mean, we are going to use scripture to properly interpret them. Let us start with those two Bible verses in question: Matthew 28:19 ...'Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.' 1 John 5:7 ...'For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.' So let us find out who these 'three' are. I am merely going to provide many scripture verses and then make a small comment at the end of each section. The Father John 17:1-3 ...'These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.' John 20:17 ...'Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.' 1 Corinthians 8:4-6 ...'As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.' Matthew 11:25 ...'At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.' John 4:22-24 ...'Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.' John 8:54 ...'Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God.' John 14:1 ...'Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions.' Acts 3:13 ...'The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.' Acts 4:24-27 ...'And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed.' 2 Corinthians 1:3 ...'Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.' 2 Corinthians 11:31 ...'The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.' Romans 1:7-9 ...'To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. For God is my witness, whom I serve with? my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers.' Ephesians 1:2-3 ...'Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.' Ephesians 4:4-6 ...'There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism. One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.' 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10 ...'For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.' 1 Thessalonians 3:11-13 ...'Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you. And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.' Philippians 2:11 ...'And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.' 1 John 5:20 ...'And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.' So as we can see, when using the rest of scripture, that "THE FATHER" is none other than the 'one and only true God' Himself. And He is not just our God and Father, He is also the God and Father of Jesus Christ. So who is the Father? He is the one true God. The Son/Word John 20:31 ...'But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.' Matthew 16:15-17 ...'He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.' John 1:14 ...'And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.' Matthew 17:5 ...'While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.' Mark 1:1 ...'The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.' Mark 3:11 ...'And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, thou art the Son of God.' John 1:18 ...'No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.' John 3:16-18 ...'For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.' John 5:26 ...'For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself.' John 5:43 ...'I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.' John 6:68-69 ...'Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.' John 10:36 ...'Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?' John 11:27 ...'She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.' John 17:1 ...'These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee.' John 20:17 ...'Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.' Acts 3:13 ...'The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.' Acts 9:19-20 ...'Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus. And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.' Romans 1:9 ...'For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers.' Romans 8:3 ...'For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh.' Galatians 4:4 ...'But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law.' Galatians 4:6 ...'And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.' Colossians 1:13-15 ...'Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature.' 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10 ...'For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.' Hebrews 1:1-5 ...'God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high: Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. For unto which of the angels said he at any time, thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?' Hebrews 4:14 ...'Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.' Hebrews 5:5 ...'So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.' 1 John 1:3 ...'That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.' 1 John 3:8 ...'He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.' 1 John 4:9 ...'In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.' 1 John 4:15 ...'Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.' 1 John 5:20 ...'And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.' 2 John 1:3 ...'Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.' Psalm 2:7 ...'I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.' Proverbs 8:22-30 ...'The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him.' (NOTE: 1 Corinthians 1:24 confirms that Christ is 'the wisdom of God') Proverbs 30:4 ...'Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?' Micah 5:2 ...'But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.' John 16:27-29 ...'For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. I came forth from the Father, AND am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.' John 17:7-8 ...'Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.' So it is clear that "THE SON" is Jesus Christ, and He is the literal, only begotten Son of God the Father, who is the one true God. Jesus is not the one true God Himself, or the so called 'second person of the trinity'. He is the literal Son of God the Father, who was begotten of the Father in eternity past, as a true Son. This is why the Bible says that God 'SENT' His Son. The Holy Spirit Acts 2:32-33 ...'This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.' Luke 24:49 ...'And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.' John 3:34-35 ...'For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.' John 7:37-39 ...'In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)' John 20:21-22 ...'Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost.' Romans 8:9-10 ...'But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.' 2 Corinthians 3:17 ...'Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.' Galatians 4:6 ...'And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.' Philippians 1:19 ...'For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.' Titus 3:4-6 ...'But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour.' Revelation 5:6 ...'And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, HAVING seven horns and seven eyes, WHICH ARE the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.' So the Bible tells us that "THE HOLY SPIRIT" is the Father's own divine Spirit, which He has given to His Son Jesus, and comes to us through Christ, NOT some other 'third being'. Jesus is the one with the Holy Spirit to give us. So who are the 'three' in Matthew 28:19 and 1 John 5:7? They are God the Father, who is the 'only true God'. Jesus Christ, who is the literal, only begotten Son of God the Father. And the Holy Spirit, which is the Spirit of Christ, which He has received from His Father. Jesus Christ comes to us HIMSELF as the Holy Spirit (John 14:18, Revelation 3:20, Colossians 1:27, Galatians 2:20), not some other unknown 'third being'. This is the truth concerning Matthew 28:19 and 1 John 5:7. Previous All trinity studies Next Back to top

今时今日有许多教会和基督徒都崇拜三位一体神，因为他们相信马太福音28:19所讲的是三位同等和同永恒的生物。但事实上他们都没有做到的是用圣经来解释这节经文。以赛亚书28章告诉我们我，在研究圣经时，我们我们必须使用“命上加命、令上加令、律上加律、例上加例，这里一点、那里一点”的原则。这意味着我们要以经解经，而不是我们凭我们个人的理解来了解其意思。所以这就是我们将在这个关于马太福音28:19的课题上做的事情。我们将使用经文来正确地解释它，而不仅仅是“思考”这经文的含义。 马太福音 28:19 所以，你们要去，使万民作我的门徒，奉父、子、圣灵的名给他们施洗（或作”给他们施洗，归于父、子、圣灵的名“）。 那么让我们找出这“三位“是谁。我只仅仅提供许多的经文并在每个部分的末尾做一个小评论。 父 约翰福音17：1-3 耶稣说了这话，就举目望天说：“父啊，时候到了，愿你荣耀你的儿子，使儿子也荣耀你；正如你曾赐给他权柄管理凡有血气的，叫他将永生赐给你所赐给他的人。认识你独一的真神，并且认识你所差来的耶稣基督，这就是永生。 约翰福音 20:17 耶稣说：“不要摸我，因为我还没有升上去见我的父。你往我弟兄那里去，告诉他们说：我要升上去见我的父，也是你们的父；见我的上帝，也是你们的上帝。” 哥林多前书 8：4-6 论到吃祭偶像之物，我们知道偶像在世上算不得什么；也知道上帝只有一位，再没有别的神。虽有称为神的，或在天、或在地，就如那许多的神，许多的主。然而我们只有一位上帝，就是父，万物都本于他，我们也归于他；并有一位主，就是耶稣基督，万物都是藉着他有的，我们也是藉着他有的。 马太福音 11:25 那时，耶稣说：“父啊，天地的主，我感谢你！因为你将这些事向聪明通达人就藏起来，向婴孩就显出来。 约翰福音 4：22-24 你们所拜的，你们不知道；我们所拜的，我们知道，因为救恩是从犹太人出来的。时候将到，如今就是了，那真正拜父的，要用心灵和诚实拜他，因为父要这样的人拜他。”上帝是个灵（或无“个”字），所以拜他的，必须用心灵和诚实拜他。” 约翰福音 8:54 耶稣回答说：“我若荣耀自己，我的荣耀就算不得什么；荣耀我的乃是我的父，就是你们所说是你们的上帝。 约翰福音 14:1 “你们心里不要忧愁，你们信上帝，也当信我。 使徒行传 3:13 亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的上帝，就是我们列祖的上帝，已经荣耀了他的儿子耶稣，你们却把他交付彼拉多。彼拉多定意要释放他，你们竟在彼拉多面前弃绝了他。 使徒行传4：24-27 他们听见了，就同心合意地高声向上帝说：“主啊，你是造天、地、海和其中万物的，你曾藉着圣灵托你仆人、我们祖宗大卫的口说：‘外邦为什么争闹？万民为什么谋算虚妄的事？世上的君王一齐起来，臣宰也聚集，要敌挡主，并主的受膏者（或作“基督”）。’希律和本丢彼拉多、外邦人和以色列民果然在这城里聚集，要攻打你所膏的圣子耶稣， 哥林多后书 1:3 愿颂赞归与我们的主耶稣基督的父上帝，就是发慈悲的父，赐各样安慰的上帝。 哥林多后书 11:31 那永远可称颂之主耶稣的父上帝知道我不说谎。 罗马书 1：7-9 我写信给你们在罗马为上帝所爱、奉召作圣徒的众人。愿恩惠、平安从我们的父上帝并主耶稣基督，归与你们！第一，我靠着耶稣基督，为你们众人感谢我的上帝，因你们的信德传遍了天下。我在他儿子福音上，用心灵所侍奉的上帝，可以见证我怎样不住的提到你们； 以弗所书1：2-3 愿恩惠、平安从上帝我们的父和主耶稣基督归与你们！愿颂赞归与我们主耶稣基督的父上帝，他在基督里曾赐给我们天上各样属灵的福气。 以弗所书4：4-6 身体只有一个，圣灵只有一个，正如你们蒙召，同有一个指望；一主，一信，一洗，一上帝，就是众人的父，超乎众人之上，贯乎众人之中，也住在众人之内。 帖撒罗尼迦前书1：9-10 因为他们自己已经报明我们是怎样进到你们那里，你们是怎样离弃偶像，归向上帝，要服侍那又真又活的上帝，等候他儿子从天降临，就是他从死里复活的、那位救我们脱离将来忿怒的耶稣。 帖撒罗尼迦前书3：11-13 愿上帝我们的父和我们的主耶稣，一直引领我们到你们那里去；又愿主叫你们彼此相爱的心，并爱众人的心，都能增长、充足，如同我们爱你们一样，好使你们当我们主耶稣同他众圣徒来的时候，在我们父上帝面前心里坚固，成为圣洁，无可责备。 腓立比书 2:11 无不口称耶稣基督为主，使荣耀归与父上帝。 约翰一书 5:20 我们也知道上帝的儿子已经来到，且将智慧赐给我们，使我们认识那位真实的，我们也在那位真实的里面，就是在他儿子耶稣基督里面。这是真神，也是永生。 当我们比较所有的经文时就可以看到，“父”就是那“独一的真神”。祂不仅是我们的上帝和天父，祂也是耶稣基督的上帝和父亲。因此父是谁呢？祂是那独一的真神。 子/道 约翰福音 20:31 但记这些事，要叫你们信耶稣是基督，是上帝的儿子，并且叫你们信了他，就可以因他的名得生命。 马太福音16：15-17 耶稣说：“你们说我是谁？”西门彼得回答说：“你是基督，是永生上帝的儿子。”耶稣对他说：“西门巴约拿，你是有福的！因为这不是属血肉的指示你的，乃是我在天上的父指示的。 约翰福音 1:14 道成了肉身，住在我们中间，充充满满地有恩典，有真理。我们也见过他的荣光，正是父独生子的荣光。 马太福音 17:5 说话之间，忽然有一朵光明的云彩遮盖他们，且有声音从云彩里出来说：“这是我的爱子，我所喜悦的，你们要听他。” 马可福音 1:1 上帝的儿子，耶稣基督福音的起头。 马可福音 3:11 污鬼无论何时看见他，就俯伏在他面前，喊着说：“你是上帝的儿子！” 约翰福音 1:18 从来没有人看见上帝，只有在父怀里的独生子将他表明出来。 约翰福音3：16-18 “上帝爱世人，甚至将他的独生子赐给他们，叫一切信他的，不至灭亡，反得永生。 因为上帝差他的儿子降世，不是要定世人的罪（或作“审判世人”。下同），乃是要叫世人因他得救。信他的人，不被定罪；不信的人，罪已经定了，因为他不信上帝独生子的名。 约翰福音 5：26 因为父怎样在自己有生命，就赐给他儿子也照样在自己有生命； 约翰福音 5:43 我奉我父的名来，你们并不接待我；若有别人奉自己的名来，你们倒要接待他。 约翰福音 6：68-69 西门彼得回答说：“主啊，你有永生之道，我们还归从谁呢？我们已经信了，又知道你是上帝的圣者。” 约翰福音 10:36 父所分别为圣，又差到世间来的，他自称是上帝的儿子，你们还向他说‘你说僭妄的话’吗？ 约翰福音 11:27 马大说：“主啊，是的，我信你是基督，是上帝的儿子，就是那要临到世界的。” 约翰福音 17:1 耶稣说了这话，就举目望天说：“父啊，时候到了，愿你荣耀你的儿子，使儿子也荣耀你； 约翰福音 20:17 耶稣说：“不要摸我，因为我还没有升上去见我的父。你往我弟兄那里去，告诉他们说：我要升上去见我的父，也是你们的父；见我的上帝，也是你们的上帝。” 使徒行传 3:13 亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的上帝，就是我们列祖的上帝，已经荣耀了他的儿子耶稣，你们却把他交付彼拉多。彼拉多定意要释放他，你们竟在彼拉多面前弃绝了他。 使徒行传9：19-20 吃过饭就健壮了。扫罗和大马士革的门徒同住了些日子，就在各会堂里宣传耶稣，说他是上帝的儿子。 罗马书 1:9 我在他儿子福音上，用心灵所侍奉的上帝，可以见证我怎样不住的提到你们； 罗马书 8:3 律法既因肉体软弱，有所不能行的，上帝就差遣自己的儿子成为罪身的形状，作了赎罪祭，在肉体中定了罪案， 加拉太书 4:4 及至时候满足，上帝就差遣他的儿子，为女人所生，且生在律法以下， 加拉太书 4:6 你们既为儿子，上帝就差他儿子的灵进入你们（原文作“我们”）的心，呼叫：“阿爸，父！” 歌罗西书1：13-15 他救了我们脱离黑暗的权势，把我们迁到他爱子的国里，我们在爱子里得蒙救赎，罪过得以赦免。爱子是那不能看见之上帝的像，是首生的，在一切被造的以先。 帖撒罗尼迦前书1：9-10 因为他们自己已经报明我们是怎样进到你们那里，你们是怎样离弃偶像，归向上帝，要服侍那又真又活的上帝，等候他儿子从天降临，就是他从死里复活的、那位救我们脱离将来忿怒的耶稣。 希伯来书1：1-5 上帝既在古时藉着众先知多次多方地晓谕列祖；就在这末世藉着他儿子晓谕我们，又早已立他为承受万有的；也曾藉着他创造诸世界。他是上帝荣耀所发的光辉，是上帝本体的真像，常用他权能的命令托住万有。他洗净了人的罪，就坐在高天至大者的右边。他所承受的名既比天使的名更尊贵，就远超过天使。所有的天使，上帝从来对哪一个说，“你是我的儿子，我今日生你”？又指着哪一个说，“我要作他的父，他要作我的子”？ 希伯来书 4:14 我们既然有一位已经升入高天尊荣的大祭司，就是上帝的儿子耶稣，便当持定所承认的道。 希伯来书 5:5 如此，基督也不是自取荣耀作大祭司，乃是在乎向他说“你是我的儿子，我今日生你”的那一位。 约翰一书 1:3 我们将所看见、所听见的传给你们，使你们与我们相交。我们乃是与父并他儿子耶稣基督相交的。 约翰一书 3:8 犯罪的是属魔鬼，因为魔鬼从起初就犯罪。 上帝的儿子显现出来，为要除灭魔鬼的作为。 约翰一书 4:9 上帝差他独生子到世间来，使我们藉着他得生， 上帝爱我们的心在此就显明了。 约翰一书 4:15 凡认耶稣为上帝儿子的，上帝就住在他里面，他也住在上帝里面。 约翰一书 5:20 我们也知道上帝的儿子已经来到，且将智慧赐给我们，使我们认识那位真实的，我们也在那位真实的里面，就是在他儿子耶稣基督里面。这是真神，也是永生。 约翰二书 1:3 恩惠、怜悯、平安从父上帝和他儿子耶稣基督，在真理和爱心上必常与我们同在！ 诗篇 2：7 受膏者说：“我要传圣旨。耶和华曾对我说：‘你是我的儿子，我今日生你。 箴言 8：22-30 “在耶和华造化的起头，在太初创造万物之先，就有了我。从亘古，从太初，未有世界以前，我已被立。没有深渊，没有大水的泉源，我已生出。大山未曾奠定，小山未有之先，我已生出。耶和华还没有创造大地和田野，并世上的土质，我已生出。他立高天，我在那里；他在渊面的周围划出圆圈，上使穹苍坚硬，下使渊源稳固，为沧海定出界限，使水不越过他的命令，立定大地的根基。那时，我在他那里为工师，日日为他所喜爱，常常在他面前踊跃， 箴言 30：4 谁升天又降下来？谁聚风在掌握中？谁包水在衣服里？谁立定地的四极？他名叫什么？他儿子名叫什么？你知道吗？ 弥迦书 5:2 伯利恒以法他啊，你在犹大诸城中为小。将来必有一位从你那里出来，在以色列中为我作掌权的；他的根源从亘古、从太初就有。 约翰福音 16：27-29 父自己爱你们，因为你们已经爱我，又信我是从父出来的。我从父出来，到了世界；我又离开世界，往父那里去。” 门徒说：“如今你是明说，并不用比喻了。 约翰福音 17:7-8 如今他们知道，凡你所赐给我的，都是从你那里来的；因为你所赐给我的道，我已经赐给他们。他们也领受了，又确实知道，我是从你出来的，并且信你差了我来。 所以很明显，“子”是耶稣基督，祂是父上帝，那独一真神，唯一的亲生儿子。耶稣不是独一的真神，也不是所谓的“三位一体的第二位”。祂是父上帝的独生子，在永恒的日子里为父所生，是父真实的儿子。这就是为什么圣经说上帝'差'祂的儿子。 圣灵 使徒行传 2:32-33 这耶稣，上帝已经叫他复活了，我们都为这事作见证。他既被上帝的右手高举（或作“他既高举在上帝的右边”），又从父受了所应许的圣灵，就把你们所看见、所听见的浇灌下来。 路加福音24：49 我要将我父所应许的降在你们身上，你们要在城里等候，直到你们领受从上头来的能力。” 约翰福音3：34-35 上帝所差来的，就说上帝的话，因为上帝赐圣灵给他，是没有限量的。父爱子，已将万有交在他手里。 约翰福音 7:37-39 节期的末日，就是最大之日，耶稣站着高声说：“人若渴了，可以到我这里来喝。信我的人，就如经上所说‘从他腹中要流出活水的江河来’。”耶稣这话是指着信他之人要受圣灵说的，那时还没有赐下圣灵来，因为耶稣尚未得着荣耀。 约翰福音 20：21-22 耶稣又对他们说：“愿你们平安！父怎样差遣了我，我也照样差遣你们。”说了这话，就向他们吹一口气，说：“你们受圣灵。 罗马书 8：9-10 如果上帝的灵住在你们心里，你们就不属肉体，乃属圣灵了。人若没有基督的灵，就不是属基督的。基督若在你们心里，身体就因罪而死，心灵却因义而活。 哥林多后书 3:17 主就是那灵；主的灵在哪里，那里就得以自由。 加拉太书 4：6 你们既为儿子，上帝就差他儿子的灵进入你们（原文作“我们”）的心，呼叫：“阿爸，父！” 腓立比书 1：9 因为我知道，这事藉着你们的祈祷和耶稣基督之灵的帮助，终必叫我得救。 提多书 3:4-6 但到了上帝我们救主的恩慈和他向人所施的慈爱显明的时候，他便救了我们，并不是因我们自己所行的义，乃是照他的怜悯，藉着重生的洗和圣灵的更新。圣灵就是上帝藉着耶稣基督我们救主厚厚浇灌在我们身上的， 启示录 5：6 我又看见宝座与四活物并长老之中，有羔羊站立，像是被杀过的，有七角七眼，就是上帝的七灵，奉差遣往普天下去的。 因此，圣经告诉我们“圣灵”是父上帝自己神圣的灵，赐给了祂儿子耶稣，并藉着耶稣赐给我们，不是什么“第三位生物”。耶稣有着圣灵并要把祂的灵赐给我们，祂要藉着祂的灵住在我们里面。 所以马太福音 28：19里的那 “三位”是谁呢？他们是天父上帝，“独一的真神”。耶稣基督，天父上帝真实的唯一亲生儿子。圣灵，就是基督的灵，是耶稣从祂父那里领受的。 耶稣自己要亲自以灵的形式到我们这里来（约翰福音14：18，启示录 3：20，歌罗西书1：27，加拉太书2：20）不是什么来历不明的“第三位生物”。这就是关于马太福音 28：19的真理。 上一篇 返回研究目录 下一篇 到最頂

All trinity studies Previous Download Next Why is the Holy Spirit Left Out of Every Greeting Why is the Holy Spirit Left Out of Every Greeting? The Trinity doctrine teaches that the Holy Spirit is a literal being that is CO-EQUAL with the Father and Son. CO-EQUAL means equal in every single way possible. So what an inexplicable oversight for Paul if the Spirit were indeed a literal being CO-EQUAL with the Father and Son, because Paul excluded the Holy Spirit in EVERY SINGLE ONE of his greetings in EVERY SINGLE LETTER he wrote! And Peter and John did the same. “Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 1:7 “Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 1:3 “Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.” 2 Corinthians 1:2 “Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,” Galatians 1:3 “Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 1:2 “Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.” Philippians 1:2 “Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” Colossians 1:2 “Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Thessalonians 1:1 “Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” 2 Thessalonians 1:2 “Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.” 1 Timothy 1:2 “Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.” 2 Timothy 1:2 “Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.” Titus 1:4 “Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” Philemon 1:3 “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,” 2 Peter 1:2 “Grace, mercy and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father,” 2 John 1:3 How can the Holy Spirit be a literal co-equal being when it is consistently left out of every greeting? If the Spirit was an individual being co-equal with the Father and Son, then this consistent omission is incomprehensible. It would have been effrontery and insubordination by the apostles at the highest level. This would be like having a country with three presidents but only ever acknowledging two of them. In fact, not once is the Holy Spirit ever uplifted or praised in the Scriptures. It is always just God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. And why is that? Because “there is but ONE God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and ONE Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.” 1 Corinthians 8:6. That's why! The Holy Spirit is the “Spirit of God,” not something called “god the spirit” which is a phrase that does not exist in the Bible and came from the Catholic Church to match the Trinity doctrine they created over 200 years AFTER the Bible was written.

All trinity studies Previous Download 看中文 Next Can Trinitarians Receive God's Seal Can Trinitarians Receive God's Seal? Is it possible for someone who worships the trinity god to receive the seal of God which we find in Revelation 7 and 14? This is a very important issue, as only those who receive God's seal in the last days will be saved. "A knowledge of God is the foundation of all true education and of all true service. It is the only real safeguard against temptation. It is this alone that can make us like God in character. This is the knowledge needed by all who are working for the uplifting of their fellow men. Transformation of character, purity of life, efficiency in service, adherence to correct principles, all depend upon a right knowledge of God. This knowledge is the essential preparation both for this life and for the life to come. 'The knowledge of the Holy is understanding.' (Proverbs 9:10). Through a knowledge of Him are given unto us 'all things that pertain unto life and godliness.' (2 Peter 1:3) 'This is life eternal,' said Jesus, 'that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent." (John 17:3) (E.White, Ministry of Healing, p. 409) Now many Trinitarians say it is not important to understand the God we worship, claiming that God is a 'mystery'. This is a common excuse used by those who worship the trinity, because they are unable to understand what it is they worship. But if this is the case, and we cannot know the God we worship, then that automatically means it is acceptable to worship the Roman Catholic god or the Muslim god. Because if we merely say that finite mind cannot comprehend the God we worship, and it is not important to know if God is one being or a trinity, then no proposition of "God" is to be rejected, and ALL are to be accepted as possibly valid. And once you understand this, you then begin to realize the ecumenical nature of the trinity god. And this is why we are seeing the majority of churches today involved in this ecumenical movement. They are unable to stand apart, as they all have a confused idea as to who God is. They no longer use God's Word as divine revelation and the supreme test of faith. Instead, they are led by human imagination. But those who stand by a 'thus saith the Lord' are able to stand apart from this ecumenical movement, because they recognize, through divine revelation that the god of the ecumenical movement is NOT the God of the Bible. So can someone who worships the trinity receive the seal of God? Let us look at Revelation 14 regarding this ... Revelation 7:2-3 ...'And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.' Revelation 14:1 ...'And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.' We can note two clear things from these verses. The seal is the 'seal of the living God'. And what is that 'seal'? It is the name of the 'Lamb's Father'. The Lamb is Jesus Christ, so who is the Father of Jesus? It is God the Father. Take a look at the following verses. Matthew 16:16 ...'And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.' John 6:69 ...'And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.' John 17:1-3 ...'Father ... this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.' 2 John 1:3 ...'Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.' So Jesus Christ, the Messiah, is the Son of God the Father. And Revelation 14 confirms that the seal of God is the 'name of the Father'. Revelation doesn't say that we are sealed with the name of the 'Father, Son and Holy Spirit', or 'God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit'. It clearly confirms that we are sealed with the name of 'the Father'. And the Bible confirms that God the Father is the one true God, as we see below, not this trinity god that the churches worship. John 17:1-3 ...'Father ... this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.' 1 Corinthians 8:5-6 ...'For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.' John 20:17 ...'Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.' Don't you think we should listen to the testimony of the 'Faithful Witness', Jesus Christ the Messiah? And Jesus confirms that His Father is the one true God. Not only that, Jesus says that God the Father is His God too! And Hebrews 1:9 also confirms this fact. It is interesting to note that the Jews did not worship a trinity, but knew that God the Father was their God (John 8:41). Jesus did not worship a trinity, or two other gods, but knew that His Father was the one true God (John 17:3). And the apostles did not worship a trinity, but worshipped and acknowledged God the Father as the one true God (1 Corinthians 8:6). Although they did give recognition and worship to Jesus also, being the Son of the living God. It Doesn't Matter! REALLY? There will still be many Trinitarians who claim that this just doesn't matter, that God is a 'mystery', and that we just cannot know the God we worship. But they fail to recognize Divine REVELATION. And it is just that, a REVELATION! Jesus made it clear that eternal life was based on 'knowing' God the Father and Himself. Jesus says we can 'know' God, while Trinitarians say we cannot know God. Who would you rather trust? The wisdom of the 'Faithful Witness', or the wisdom of man? Now take a look at what Jesus said to the woman at the well in John chapter 4. John 4:21-24 ...'Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.' "YOU KNOW NOT WHAT YOU WORSHIP" ... Who is that a statement to today? Trinitarians! All throughout the New Testament, Jesus and the apostles reveal that the Father is the one true God, and it is to Him, that our allegiance and worship is due. And Jesus confirms that it the true worshippers who worship God the Father as the one true God. Which means those who worship this trinity god are not the true worshippers. And if we are not worshipping the one true God, then can we receive the seal of the living God? No, not a chance! Can a Roman Catholic who remains within Catholicism receive the seal of God? No. Why? Because they are not worshipping the one true God. And this also is the same for anyone who worships the trinity god. They are not worshipping the one true God and therefore cannot receive His seal of approval. And notice what else Revelation 14 says about those who DO receive the seal. Revelation 14:4 ...'These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God AND to the Lamb.' A woman in the Bible and prophecy is a symbol of a church. So to be 'defiled with women' means to be defiled by the fallen churches. And what does it mean to be defiled by the fallen churches? It means to be deceived by their false teachings and false worship. And the trinity teaching is a false teaching from Babylon. So to worship the trinity means you are defiled by women and cannot receive the seal of God the Father. The final controversy is over worship. And Revelation 14 reveals who it is we are to worship … The Call to Worship our Creator God Revelation 14:6-7 ...'And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.' In Genesis 1, we see a statement as follows ... "And God said, let us make man in our image." ... Now Trinitarians believe this is the 'trinity' speaking. But, as we have seen from above, the Bible reveals that God is the Father. So who is speaking here? God the Father is speaking. And who is He speaking to? Well, Ephesians 3:9 and 1 Corinthians 8:6 confirms that God the Father created all things through His Son Jesus Christ. So who is God the Father speaking to? He is speaking to His Son. Now look at what King David said in 1 Chronicles 29. 1 Chronicles 29:10-11 ...'Wherefore David blessed the Lord before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, Lord God of Israel our father, for ever and ever. Thine, O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all.' Who is the 'head above all'? ... 1 Corinthians 11:3 ...'But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.' ... So the head of ALL is GOD THE FATHER. And Jesus confirmed this Himself in Matthew 11:25 ... 'Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth.' So who is the one true God, LORD and Creator of heaven and earth, whom Revelation 14 is calling with a 'LOUD CRY' to worship? It is God the Father, the one true God, the source of all life (1 Corinthians 8:6). And who's name do the end time servants of God receive? They receive the name and seal of the living God, the one true God, GOD THE FATHER. Yes, we can also give honor and worship to Jesus the Messiah, as He is the SON of the one true God, and Revelation 5:13 confirms that for all eternity, God the Father and 'the Lamb' (Christ) are to be worshipped. But all the honor that Christ receives is for the 'GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER'. Philippians 2:11 ...'And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.' So our worship primarily is to go to God the Father, as He is Head of all, God of all and the source of all life. But those who worship the false trinity god of Babylon are not worshipping the one true God of the Bible, and therefore CANNOT receive the seal of God. Friends, this is so important. Our eternal lives depend on this. If you are someone who still believes in and worships the trinity, then I urge you to study this for yourself and find the truth. Do you want to receive the seal of God? Then worship the one true God, the Father. Previous All trinity studies Next Back to top

White 预言之灵 事工对怀爱伦著作的立场 本事工认为怀爱伦所写的作品是上帝所默示的，与圣经一致，是耶稣基督本身的直接见证——预言之灵（启示录 19:10），因此其神圣的权威不亚于其他圣先知所写的经书。 "...信耶和华你们的上帝、就必立稳。信他的先知就必亨通。" 历代志下 20：20 我们相信上帝藉着怀爱伦向其末世余民传达重要讯息，而钻研上帝所默示的话语为每一代基督徒的本份。 怀爱伦的简介 传述上帝的启示 在1844年10月22日的大失望后，几乎所有的复临信徒都认为过去的运动是完全没有对的地方了。有人甚至把许多明显的上帝圣灵的工作和普遍引起人注意上帝审判的临近的良好果效，都看为是错误的。在此年12月，预言之灵就开始临到主所拣选的器皿了，怀爱伦（此时尚为哈门·爱伦女士）在友人海尼斯夫人家里聚会时，初次见到了异象。她在异象中见众人在沿一窄路走向天城，离天城尚有一段距离，面前虽有拦阻的势力，但主的恩典是够大家用的。他们以前所走的路是主引领的，是不应怀疑的。出异象后，她就将所见到的告诉了别人，初次听到她陈述的六十 多位复临信徒，既清楚她为人的真诚，就毫不置疑地接受了。 不久后，她又见到第二次异象，指明她所必受的试炼和责任，异象中主答应必在人 的反对中，支持她。出异象后，她因为怕人的反对和担任这样重大的责任，就祷告了数日，求主拣选别的比她刚强的人，但主却不允许。怀氏心中极感徨恐，家人和教会中的同道都不明白她心中的痛苦，不能安慰她，在他们一起恳求主时，怀氏重新感觉愿为主作工。黑暗散开，光亮出现，见一光明火球降在她身上，她自己就失去了气力，得到主的命令说：“把我所指示你的告诉别人。”在她醒后，皮尔逊老伯就站起来说话了，他是因生风湿病而未能与大家一起下跪祷告的。他说：“我看见想不到的事了，一个火球从天而降，到了哈门爱伦姐妹的心中，我见到了！我见到了！我永远不能忘记这件事！这已改变了我全身。爱伦姐妹阿！要有主里面的勇敢。从今日起，我永不再怀疑了，我们以后将帮助你，必不使你灰心。”这是上帝为他所立的先知给人的证据。 从此怀爱伦就开始了传述上帝启示的工作。据统计，她在开始的二十三年中就见到异象约有二百次之多，她在见异象时的情形和但10 ：7-11；16-18的记载完全符合。 领人避免异端 在大失望后的一个阶段中，魔鬼想尽了办法，要使人走错误的道路，但这一切都由于上帝给怀氏的指示而被揭穿了。当时的错误派别有极端主义派、狂热派、催眠术、灵学、再定主再来日期的派别，透纳氏等领导的因恩门已关而不必作工的派别等。预言之灵就在此时开始了工作，藉着怀爱伦的写作、演说、及劝勉，使人们避免了这些异端，阻止了它们的扩散。 广泛的著作 怀爱伦写了许多著作，范围包括有对上帝救赎计划的阐明，对教会各种合时的证言，对教育和饮食卫生的讨论，指示医药布道及其他各种布道的方法，和其他各种解释圣经真理的书籍、文件，已整理出版的书约有二万页，杂志稿件约二千篇。此外尚有地方性和私人性的成千上万页未出版的文件。 工作生涯 怀氏生于世界历史、宗教、政治的高涨点，她反对美国的奴隶制度，提倡饮食节制等等。她并不占有教会的高位，而是以一平信徒的身份，为主传述指示。她平时与常人生活无异，是人们的邻舍朋友。在家中是贤妻良母。她一生被教会和邻里重视。 除了流动性的旅行外，她住在美国的巴特格勒有30年，欧洲有2年，大洋洲9年，美国的圣赫勒拿15年。总共作主的使者的年数是七十年（1844-1915）。 (资料来源自百度百科) 怀爱伦是上帝的使者吗? “不要消灭圣灵的感动，不要藐视先知的讲论，但要凡事察验，善美的要持守。”（帖前5:19-21） 注：圣经中固然有警告说，末时将有撒但的工作，假先知的兴起（帖后2:9；启16:14），但也有应许说，主来前有预言的恩赐出现于余民教会中（启12:17；19:10；珥2:28-32）。主耶稣警告我们要谨防假先知（太24:4,24），可是并非说所有的先知都是假的，主教我们“凭着他们的果子，就可以认出他们来。”（太7:15-20）。 古时的以色列人是不善于分别先知的真假的。他们常接待假先知（结22:28），而杀害上帝的真先知（太23:37）。但圣经已给了我们下面几点断定诸灵是否出于上帝原则： ⑴ 与“训诲和法度”相符（赛8：20），就是这灵应不是违反上帝在圣经中的指示和他圣洁、公义、良善的律法的。 ⑵ 不叫人事奉别神（申13：1-5），就是不使人走上远离上帝的道路的。 ⑶ 有好果子（约一4：1-3；太7:16），也就是先知要有良好的行为和工作果效的。 ⑷ 所说的预言是应验的（申18：20-22），因为唯有出于上帝的才会准确地预言将来。（赛41：21-24，44：24-28）。 我们用以上四项原则来衡量怀爱伦的工作，就可断定她确是一位上帝的先知。前三项可由基督复临安息日会的信仰和工作符合圣经真意可以看出。因为这正是在怀爱伦肯定和阐明下发展起来的。 怀爱伦也曾说过不少预言。这些预言都是圣经预言对现时代的推广及应用。这种地方性和时代性的预言包括有教会、国家、城市等方面。这一切预言已具体地应验，或正在应验中。我们简略地列举两件事作为说明： （甲）旧金山城的倾复：自1902年起，怀爱伦即警告，有大城市将遭灾祸。因城市中人口多，罪恶的势力亦较乡间为强。怀氏更明确指出了旧金山及奥克兰二城之名（奥克兰与旧金山隔河由桥相联而附属其住宅区）。在1902年她写道：“不久，这些城市将受主的审判了。旧金山及奥克兰正变成所多玛及蛾摩拉的样子，主将在忿怒中，临到他们。”（1902年文稿114）在1903年4月20日，怀氏又再次警告称，旧金山及奥克兰不久将接受审判。在1906年4月16日，怀氏又见异象，见到许多游戏场、戏院旅馆和富户的房屋都被摇动坍倒在地。空气中充满了惊恐和死伤者的呼号。这月的18日，就是她见异象后的第二天，旧金山就因地震及大火而毁灭了。奥克兰虽被主慈怜的手留下（拿4：10-11），但亦已饱受了警告。 （乙）灵学的发展：1848年美国海兹未城姓幅格丝的两女子家中有一种奇异的响声出现，此即灵学（又名招魂术）的发起。在起初是没有多少人相信的，也无教会的组织形式。人大多以为这是骗局，但怀氏在1849年即称此事将变为普遍，披着宗教的外衣，使人离开圣灵之教训。以后又多次指出这事的严重性。这些警告都是在很少人注意灵学的时候发出的。果然，到1858年，灵学信徒已有一百五十万，神媒四万个，到1880年已发展到许多国家。今日更已普遍到国外各教会中，以为这是一种宗教上的“复兴”，是要改正许多缺点的。实则这是完全违背圣经教训的一种学说。 所说预言的应验满足了证明一位先知是出于上帝的所有四项原则。怀爱伦著作出于上帝是看过的人都可以作见证的。这些著作“不是用智慧委婉的言语，乃是用圣灵和大能的明证。”（林前2：4） 我们必须信上帝的先知吗？ “信耶和华你们的上帝就必立稳；信他的先知就必亨通。”（代下20：20）。 (资料来源自百度百科) 怀爱伦的写作简介 怀爱伦写了大量的作品，事实上她是美国的最多产的女作家之一。她有超过二千五百万字的作品。内容是非常的广泛，除了写出对圣经的领受，以及属天的启示，还包括许多家庭教育、卫生健康、节制。当然，她最重要的是五部善恶斗争丛书，以及达到五千页的对教会的证言。其中包括了许多对个人的辅导、劝勉和警戒。还有关于对圣经要道的注释都是重要的部分。特别有40年之久，她写了许许多多的文章，发表在本会的公报和主要的刊物上。所以不论就数量和质量讲，怀爱伦姐妹所留给世界和教会的是极重大的遗产。现在由怀氏著作托管委员会监管这一切。我们现在简单的来介绍一下她的著作。 她的第一本书叫《早期著作》是很多复临信徒所珍爱的一本书。虽然这本书只有二百页的篇幅，但是它包含了许多宝贵的内容。其中有怀爱伦所见的第一个异像。我们以前提到，这是在1844年大失望以后，对忠贞的复临信徒一个极大的安慰和鼓舞。让他们看到，顺着上帝的呼召而走在天路上的余民有大光在照耀着他们。他们一步一步地走向新耶路撒冷，在那里，上帝为他们预备了筵席。但同时在《早期著作》中，又有提醒和警戒，就是当时还是不断的有人为主的再来设定时日，为了避免他们重蹈一再失望的覆辙，在《早期著作》里面这样的写到：“1844年以后，时间再也不成为一个试验，而且也永远不再作为一个试验。”而就在复临运动经受考验的时候，在1844年，在纽约的一家，有所谓鬼敲墙的事发生，当时有许多人感到很困惑，思想上也很混乱，这倒底是出于上帝的呢？还是一种自然的现象呢？或者是一种神奇的奥秘呢？当时众说纷纭，但是上帝的子民无需在黑暗当中彷徨，因为藉着爱伦姐妹传出这样信息：在纽约和其它地方所谓的神秘传说是出于撒但的能力。而且在《早期著作》86页讲到：这样的事情将来越来越多，而且披上了宗教的外衣。当时许许多多的人受了迷惑，中了撒但的诡计和恶天使的愚弄。但是复临信徒由于得到上帝的指示，知道这些工作是出于撒但，结果就使他们避免了危险。而《早期著作》另外一个更重要之处是：包含了以后历代斗争丛书的雏形。虽然它的笔触很简单，但是已经把善恶斗争的一个纲要提示了出来。在当时尽管复临信徒稀少，经费非常有限，但却承受了这样一个宝贵的遗产，就是为后人提供了属灵的光照。 怀爱伦姐妹不断地得到进一步的启示，所以她的篇幅和内容也不断地扩充，成为现在的五部斗争丛书。即《先祖与先知》、《先知与君王》、《历代愿望》、《使徒行述》、《善恶之争》。这五本斗争丛书非但在它的内容和历史时期和圣经是平行，而且是从创世一直到将来新天新地，其中指出了一条大纲----基督和撒但，善恶之间的一个大斗争。 《先祖与先知》一书几乎概括了三千年的历史。在十九世纪中叶，正是进化论出笼的时候，也是新神学派、高级评经家大肆活动的时候，结果就动摇了许多人对圣经的信仰。尤其是对创世的记录和故事表示怀疑，但是《先祖与先知》以清楚的笔调，讲到世界的起源以及上帝对待人类大家庭的作为。在怀爱伦的论述当中，她清楚的指出，圣经中的创世记是有关我们世界历史开端的可靠记录。她多次在异像当中得蒙看见那些最原始的景象，另外对创世记第6-9章的洪水有更细腻的描述。由于在异像当中所见到的景象是栩栩如生，所以在她的笔下也呈现出一幅更为动人的景象，也是惊人的景象。而在当时的进化论以及所谓地质学家，他们要想起来推翻圣经记载的时候，本书起了极其重要的见证作用。 《先知与君王》是讲到旧约圣经的后半部。不少教会和团体对以色列国以及这个民族有着或左或右的观点。一方面有许多人以犹太人犯罪为理由，无故地肆意迫害他们，而另外一面，许多人也误解圣经的许多篇幅和章节，认为犹太民族至今还是上帝的选民，还会全家得救。但从这一本《先知与君王》里面非常清楚的看见，上帝在人国中掌权。上帝是慈爱的，也是公义的，他是历史的真正主宰。而以色列的历史只是作为世上万国万族的一个前车之鉴。这从所罗门王直到被掳归回的历史和教训足以提供给世界上每一个国家、每一个君王或者领袖。以及宗教界和普通的百姓，许多的宝贵的指示、安慰和警戒。 第三本是《历代愿望》，这是讲述耶稣基督生平教训的最重要的、最伟大的著作。有人访问预言之声的创办人理查士牧师，问他：“在预言之灵的书中哪一本，那一章对你特别有意义呢？”他回答是：我觉得《历代愿望》和《喜乐的泉源》两本书都非常好，但要我选出哪一本最好就很难下结论。对我来说，《历代愿望》是有史以来最伟大的书，读者曾经是一边读一边流泪，我也不例外。理查士牧师的见证代表了许许多多读过这本书的人，她把耶稣基督写得这么的神圣，又这么的平凡；这样的威仪又这样的仁慈。真是在世人面前高举了基督，让人看到基督是人类的救主、人类的唯一希望。据说在美国的国会图书馆当中，这本书列在许多类似的书当中，首屈一指，而且它文笔的优美、内容的深刻以及信息的感人，使它成为不少美国大学的文学读物。我个人也有这样的体会，往往读这本书就好象把自己带到了基督的脚前，来瞻仰他的荣美以及体会上帝的爱。这本书在四福音的基础上令许多篇幅成了更细致动人，千秋不朽的故事，也焕发了新的启示和亮光。 第四本是《使徒行述》，它概括了作为第一部教会历史的使徒行传，保罗书信及通称的教会书信。总之，涵盖了四福音之外的一切新约书卷。对使徒行传的阐述详尽深刻，许多历史的教训，教会的成败经验，尤其是圣灵的工作都陈述得非常动人，而对保罗书信有独到之处，有助于后世从第一代教会的经历及领受中得到教益。 最后，来到大斗争丛书的最后一本《善恶之争》。这本书概括了人类的几千年的历史。当然重点是在耶稣时代以后，直到末世所有的善恶大斗争。这本书中的历史部分既是旁徵博引，又是禀受上天的灵感和启示，指出了人类所面临的一切重大的问题，特别讲到世界末了所必然要发生的一些灵界的斗争以及届时背道势力的猖獗，和上帝子民最终的得胜。凡是被善恶之争这亮光所鼓舞、所启示的人往往对这卷书爱不释手。因为通过这本书，基督的门徒既知道他们的过去，也看到他们的将来，并知道他们怎样来处理现在。在《善恶之争》这本书的导言中面，怀爱伦姐妹说：上帝的灵集中圣经中几件伟大真理向我指明，并将过去和未来的种种景象显给我看，就吩咐我将启示我的事告诉众人。要我循着历史上善恶战争的史迹叙述出来。藉以显明那即将临近，未来战争的真相。可以说，作者曾蒙圣灵的光照得以看到善与恶之间长期战争的种种景象，并多次蒙主的允许得以目睹生命之君，我们救恩的创始者基督，与那邪恶之君，罪恶的创始者----就是第一个违犯上帝律法的撒但之间历代的大争战。这就形成了这本书的一个纲，或者是一个金线，也是最扣人心弦的地方。她也讲到，在异像当中，所有这些都好象是栩栩如生的现实一样。而且她难以用笔墨来形容这一切斗争的情景，所以这五本历代斗争丛书就体现了神圣历史的哲学。它告诉人生活的哲学，解释了历史，以及所发生的事件的真实的意义。这是我们余民教会所承受的宝贵的遗产，也是值得自豪、并乐于与其他所有的人分享的真理。 第二大类就是给教会的证言。这几乎有五千页之多，一共形成九卷，就是《证言卷一》到《证言卷九》，此外还有《证言选辑》。如果说以上五本斗争丛书是向普世的人提供的，那么这些证言是特别对教会、教会的领袖及教会里面的信徒所写的。我们记得预言之灵不就是为耶稣做见证的吗？这就是传达耶稣的证言，整个宇宙都关怀着地球及与人类有关的救赎的计划。而天上的上帝也是时时关心着地上的大家庭对此所作的反映。上帝为此就对他末世的信徒给与及时的信息和亮光。怀爱伦姐妹在《证言卷五》661面说:上帝在古时的时候藉着先知和使徒的口对人说话，而这些日子，他是藉着他圣灵的证言来对他们说话。上帝要他的百姓追求明白他的旨意和所提供给他百姓的殷切的教导。从1855年开始，她就经常的发表给教会的证言，而这些信息都是非常的实际，所处理的问题包括守安息日、包括作为父母的责任，以及教会当中效法世界的光景。还有论到因信称义或者研究圣经去应付那些背道者的反对。并提到传道人和他们的妻子，以及如何作上帝的管家，并怎样预备迎见主。她写道：主要责备那些自称是遵守他律法之人的错误，他指出他们的罪，而且公开他们的罪，是为了要他们和罪、和邪恶完全脱离。并且在敬畏他之中，能够达到完美的圣洁，去准备自己，或者是在主里面安睡，或者是变化升天。上帝责备、训戒他们、纠正他们，以致他们能够被炼净、升华，而最后能够被提升到他的宝座面前。这些都是写证言的目的。有的时候，也藉着证言纠正那些传错道的，上帝为了给那些人再一次悔改的机会，甚至于也包括指出一些生活当中隐秘的事情。证言中就是把圣经的真理、教义、真理的原则和发生在教会和信徒当中的具体的事项给予属天的信息，和属灵的亮光。既安慰、鼓励、也有劝勉和责备。这就是先知一贯所担任的工作。折毁、拔出、毁坏，为要建立、栽种、建造。 第三大类是关于健康卫生的著作。在复临运动和基督复临安息日会的早期，上帝就一步一步的带领他们能够离开那些会毁损健康的食物，并指引出一条健康的康庄大道。给了他们卫生、健康、节制的信息。十九世纪的中期和后期，当时绝大多数的人，甚至于医务卫生界，在有关生理学、卫生和营养上都有许多无知的成分。在今天看来，甚至于是可笑的，但出自爱伦姐妹的口和她的笔，从她过世时1915年到现在，就越来越清楚的证明了她信息是多么的正确。当时代的人并没有意识到什么胎教或是母胎时期所受的影响这回事，怀爱伦姐妹就指出了它的重要；当时的人对烟的危害还不完全明了，但怀师母已经指出，这是造成癌症的重要原因之一。她也提到了先天的缺陷是由于酒精的作用，以及食物对人的健康的影响。曾有人大量的用盐，而另一些人则认为要禁止用盐。怀爱伦说，要用一点盐，说明了她非但是采取中庸，而也证明了她奇妙的正确性，一反她当时所谓科学家的见解和结论。对待糖的危害，她早已指出，这对我们中国人很多年的传统的想法也是截然相反。我们总认为糖是非常宝贵的，极其需要的，但事实上，糖，尤其多量的糖对人类健康的影响和危害非常之大。同样，怀爱伦当时参加关于节制的运动，多次在大会上提倡要禁酒。这在今天因为酒精所引起的种种后患可以看到先知的慧眼。康乃尔大学营养系的教授麦凯，曾经讲到：当一个人读到怀爱伦所著的《服务的真诠》和《论饮食》，那么在现代营养学的亮光当中，他就会得到一个印象，认识到她著作的正确性。不管她的著作是写在现代科学的营养学很早之前这个事实。但对今天来讲，没有比这个更好的，一个全盘的指引。就连怀师母在世的时候，一个世界知名的凯洛克医生也认识到这一点。基督复临安息日会由于遵行了这些健康的证言，或者是卫生改革，所以就整体来讲，他们的健康程度比一般人为强，他们的寿命也比一般人长。这是已经经过科学研究而做出的结论。而在这些方面，确实是预言之灵藉着怀爱伦姐妹带来的福份。 第四类有关家庭和教育方面的著作。《教育论》、《复临信徒的家庭》、《儿童教育指南》这些都是非常著名而又实用的书籍。怀爱伦清楚的看到家庭的深远的影响。她曾经讲到：一个社会的健全、一个教会的成功、一个国家的兴盛，都有赖于家庭的影响。所以在预言之灵的著作当中，有相当的篇幅是对做父母的指导。她提到学前教育的重要性，尤其是父母，特别是母亲，是孩子的第一个教师。所有的教育的发展都应当依循着灵、智、体这几方面的均衡的、和谐的发展。这样可以准备学生投入今世快乐的服务中去，而且在来生进入到更广大的事奉和更快乐的境界中去。《教育论》里面提出了很多极其精辟的教育的原则，凡是能够照着这些原则去做的，不论是学校或是学生，都会蒙受极大的福份。有位哥伦比亚大学的教育系的教授，读了这本《教育论》以后，就认为这本书是超越时代五十年。另外一位日本教授在他的本国印行此书，在他书的导言中讲到：这是怀爱伦蒙受灵感的笔所写下的。更有一位大洋两岸极其知名的教育家和作家，他在欧洲他的本国担任过教育部长，当他在美国讲学的时候，他发现了《教育论》这本书，他给予高度的评价，而且他也翻译和出版了整本的书，是用萨尔维亚的语言出版的。奇怪的是，他居然据为私有，以他的名义来出版，不过从另外一个侧面也可以看到在这位知名的学者心目当中，这本书占有何等崇高的地位。另外在怀爱伦过世以后，所编纂的《复临信徒的家庭》和《儿童教育指南》都是对父母和教师有许多具体的帮助。而且怀爱伦不单是具有先知的慧眼，而且她本人也是一位贤妻良母和好的教师。她揉合了她自己的经验，在这些书中流露了深刻的感情。 而怀爱伦在她的晚年意识到她自己已不久于人世，但是还有许多的工作，觉得还没有完成，特别是她的许多的杂志和文章还没有加以整理，所以她就留下遗嘱，希望后人能够从中把这些自天而来的有用的宝贵的材料能够编纂成书，这就是形成了在1915年，怀爱伦过世以后，几乎经常有新的怀著出现的理由。她离开了世界，但是上帝藉着她所带来的信息还在继续指导着教会、关怀着他地上的儿女。《传道良助》、《证言选辑》、《证言精选》、《怀氏文稿》、《告青年书》以及《基督复临安息日会圣经注释的附编》、《怀爱伦注释》的部分，特别是有许许多多的每日灵修的晨钟课本，都是出自怀爱伦注释的内容。如《信仰的基础》、《崇高的恩召》、《主必再来》。总之在二千五百万字里面，有许多宝藏在其中。于是在重新组合的时候就发出一种新的亮光来。不论对个人的灵性、对教会的指导以及对社会的推动都起了极其重要的作用。当然讲到这里不能不提到《拾级救主》，现中文版翻译为《幸福的阶梯》或者是《喜乐的泉源》。这本小书一共十三章，就是怎样一步步的把人引导到基督面前，而且使基督徒的经验能够逐渐的登峰造极。从上帝就是爱讲起，以至告诉罪人必须仰望基督；然后就是悔改、认罪、重生、献己、信心和悦纳、信徒的试验，在基督里成长，基督徒的生活与工作，以及不断的追求认识上帝；也告诉我们祈祷的特权以及怎样应付世界上可能有的疑惧；最后达到在主里面常常喜乐这个崇高的境界。这本美丽、动人、深刻的小册子已经被翻译成一百多种文字，在世界上发行几千万册，没有任何一本宗教的书籍能和它相比的。上帝藉着这本书，已经引导了多多少少的人来就基督，建立了稳固的、基督徒灵性的基础。因着时间少，或者机会不多的人可以先介绍这本书来读。我自己也很喜欢读这本书，我的岳父几乎能把这本书全部背出来。就在他最艰难的岁月里面，不论是受到磨难或是在最后患病的期间，他都是手捧这本书，不断地读和默想主的话语，而化作他人生痛苦时的力量以及焕发他心中喜乐的一个泉源。因为这本书告诉我们，我们信仰的中心是耶稣基督，他是我们的救主，是我们荣耀的盼望，是我们在患难中随时的力量。 最后，我们说预言之灵就是上帝把这恩赐赐给了怀爱伦姐妹，让她在余民教会当中做他的信使，传达他的信息和旨意，而我们今天承受了这样丰富的一个遗产，若把它比作是（她自己所说的）小光引导到大光面前，我们是否已经被基督话语的亮光、基督生命的光照亮了我们的内心，我们人生的旅途，及照亮我们人生的幽谷呢？这些书籍就好比一张海图，可以避免我们在人生的汪洋大海当中触礁，或者是偏离航道。我们在所有这些书籍当中，能得到最健康、最丰美的食物和筵席。如果我们说百闻不如一见，那么，就接受诗人所讲的，“要尝尝主恩的滋味，便知道他是美善”，让我们多一点阅读、研究、领受这些宝贵的信息。 “我用主赐给我的权柄说出主的话，然后我就把事情交在祂手中，因为我知道我已经尽了自己的职责。 不管人们会否选择听和接受，这是我必须做的。 但我不可说出自己的话，以免削弱上帝给我的见证。” 《信函》第145号，1902年 "I speak the words of the Lord, with the authority that He gives me, and then I leave the matter in His hands, knowing that I have done my duty. This I must do, whether men will hear or whether they will forbear. But I am not to speak words of my own, lest I weaken the testimony God gives me." —Letter 145, 1902.

All trinity studies Previous Download Next What is the difference between Godhead and Trinity What is the difference between Godhead and Trinity? So what does the word Godhead mean and can it be used in place of the word Trinity? The fact is there is no relationship with the Trinity and the word Godhead at all as you are about to find out. Godhead refers to God the Father. And making this issue a little more confusing, Godhead is often a word used by those with the non-Trinitarian truth for lack of a better word to use in opposition to the word Trinity. More and more Trinitarians are using the word Godhead in place of Trinity thinking that changes what it is. But calling the Trinity by another name will never change what it is. You can call a cat a dog but it will still be a cat. And you can call the Trinity the Godhead but it will still be the Trinity! The word Godhead is found in 3 verses in the King James Bible which are translated from three different Greek words that have slightly different meanings but all basically mean the same thing. In Acts 17:29 the Greek word translated Godhead is “theios” (G2304) and means to be godlike and hence divine. Acts 17:29 KJV “Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.” The same Greek word is used in the verse below but has been translated to the word “divine.” 2 Peter 1:3 KJV “According as his divine power has given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that has called us to glory and virtue:” In Romans 1:20 the Greek word translated Godhead is “theiotēs” (G2305) and refers to the divine nature. Romans 1:20 KJV “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:” And in Colossians 2:9 the Greek word translated Godhead is “theotēs” (G2320) and means deity as in the state of being God. Colossians 2:9 KJV “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” So the word Godhead speaks of the “Divine nature” of the Father which has been given to the Son and hence is in the Son as we find in Colossians 2:9 above. Thus Jesus being the firstborn over all creation (Colossians 1:15), and being brought forth from the Father, He has the same “Divine nature” as His Father. Thus Paul states that the fullness of the “divine nature” of God dwells in His Son. Colossians 1:19 KJV “For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;” John 5:26 also tells us that the Father gave life to His Son. “For as the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life in himself.” John 5:26. If Jesus had always existed alongside the Father as the Trinity doctrine claims, then God could not have given life to His Son as He would have always had life. But Scripture reveals this is impossible. And so neither does the word Godhead explain the non-Trinitarian position in opposition to the word Trinity. It has been the only real option in lack of a better word to use for the non-Trinitarian view. The Trinity doctrine states that there are three co-equal (equal in every respect), co-eternal (the same age), omniscient (all knowing), omnipotent (all powerful) gods, who are not three gods, but one god. By the words of the Athanasian Creed it is, “the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and yet there are not three gods but one God.” In other words. 1+1+1=1 ! So a 3 in 1 and 1 in 3 god which means the Father cannot really be a Father and the Son cannot really be a Son, which denies the Father and Son which the apostle John called antichrist. And hence the Holy Spirit is supposedly a third god that makes up the one god rather than being the actual Spirit of the Father and Son just as we have a spirit. So the Divine nature of the Father referring to the ONE true God does not and cannot equal 3 gods yet alone a 3 in 1 god. Thus Godhead does NOT equal Trinity in any way whatsoever! Godhead refers to God the Father and His Divine nature which dwells in His Son because Jesus Christ is His Son.

All trinity studies Previous Download Next Is Jesus Christ GOD (Long version) Is Jesus Christ GOD? Is Jesus God? There are actually two answers to this question. One is most definitely yes! The other answer is no! And the answer depends upon what you mean by "God". Confused? There's no need to be! You see, the word "God" in the Bible refers to two things. In one instance it refers to the 'all supreme being', the 'almighty God'. And in another instance it refers to the divine nature, the 'God nature'. So we will show you that while Jesus is FULLY divine and is FULLY God by nature (being begotten of the Father from eternity, Micah 5:2, Proverbs 8:22-30), he is not the 'all supreme being' and 'almighty God', as that is His Father alone. Quick Note: Jesus is NEVER called 'God the Son' in the Bible. He is always called the 'Son OF God'. Now according to the Trinity doctrine, Jesus Christ is the 'eternal, self-existent God', known as 'God the Son'. Some even view Him as the 'One God', even thinking Jesus is the Father also. But to believe that Jesus is the 'almighty God' and 'Father' Himself is to believe that Jesus is the immortal God but died, is the invisible God that no man can see, but was seen, is the omnipotent God but needed strength from angels, is the omniscient God but did not know the day of his return, is as great (in authority) as His Father but said His Father is greater than He, is the begotten Son and the unbegotten God, came out from Himself, prayed to Himself, gave power to Himself, thanked Himself, bore witness of Himself, went back to Himself, sits at the right hand of Himself, is His own Father and His own Son, left Heaven and yet was there all the time. And so the CONFUSION of Babylon continues! And the whole world is deceived! So let us unravel the confusion. We will start with the most used verse to support the theory that Jesus is 'the almighty God' Himself, John 1:1: John 1:1-2 ...'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.' Those four words above, 'the Word was God' has convinced many a Christian to believe that Jesus is the 'almighty God' Himself. And yet they miss the simple meaning of what John was saying. Is this all John had to say about Christ? No. Look at what he said towards the end of his gospel: John 20:31 ...'But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.' Why did John write his gospel? So that people might believe that Jesus Christ is the 'almighty God'? No! That people might believe He is the SON OF God. And John records this just a few verses after John 20:17, where he records Christ telling Mary ... "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God." Revelation 3:12 ...'Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name' Do you see the problem with taking John's words in John 1 and applying a teaching to it without comparing scripture with scripture? So how can we reconcile this? How can John say that Jesus 'is God' and also say He is the 'Son OF God' and also record Jesus saying that the Father is 'HIS GOD'? Well, as I mentioned above, people are missing the simple message of John 1 and have a wrong understanding of it. To begin with, the English translations of John 1:1 have a small but yet important word missing, which is in the original Greek. Let's add that word back in and see how it changes the verse ... "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with [THE] God, and the Word was God." ... So Christ was with THE God in the beginning. So He was with someone who is THE God. Who is that? Again, John records it for us: John 17:1-3 ...'Father ... this is life eternal, that they might know thee THE only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.' So John records a prayer that Jesus made to His Father in heaven, and Jesus confirmed in this prayer that His Father is THE only true God. So now we know who Christ was with in the beginning. And who is [THE] God? It is God the Father. The only being that is ever called "God the ..." in the Bible. The Holy Spirit is never called 'God the Holy Spirit' and Jesus is never called 'God the Son'. Only the Father is called this, as He is 'THE only true God', which Jesus confirmed in John 17:3 and Paul confirmed in 1 Corinthians 8:6. Just think about this example for a moment. Let us reapply John 1:1 to Adam and Eve ... "In the beginning was the woman and the woman was with the human, and the woman was human.". Now does this mean Eve is as old as Adam? No, because we know Adam was created first (to represent the Father). Or does it mean that Eve is actually Adam herself? No, of course not. It is simply stating that Eve is human, just like Adam. Keep this thought in your mind as we look further. Now let us go a bit deeper into God's Word to further clarify this truth, that Jesus is God (divine) because He is the SON OF God, but not the 'almighty God' Himself. There is a deep and beautiful truth in the creation of Adam and Eve that the majority of Christians miss today. Let's take a look. Genesis 1:26 ...'And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.' "Satan was once an honored angel in heaven, next to Christ. His countenance, like those of the other angels, was mild and expressive of happiness. His forehead was high and broad, showing great intelligence. His form was perfect; his bearing noble and majestic. But when God said to His Son, 'Let us make man in our image,' Satan was jealous of Jesus." (E.White, Early Writings, p.145) Genesis 2:21-23 ...'And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.' John 16:27-28 ...'For the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. I came forth from the Father, AND am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.' John 17:7-8 ...'Now they have known that all things whatsoever you have given me are of you. For I have given unto them the words which you gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from you, and they have believed that you did SEND me.' Proverbs 8:22-25 ...'The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth.' There is such a beautiful truth in these words which many miss. God said 'let us make man in our image'. So first of all, if the trinity was truth, then why didn't God make three people? Why did He only make two? Not only that, can you see what happened with Adam and Eve is an IMAGE of what happened with God the Father and Jesus Christ? The man existed first and then the woman was taken out of man. And Jesus confirmed Himself as you can see above, that this is also what happened with Him. He came OUT of the Father, which is what Proverbs 8 and Micah 5:2 also confirm. So for Jesus to come out of the Father, it means God the Father existed first, and is represented by Adam. Then Jesus came OUT FROM or 'begotten' of the Father, and is represented by Even being taken OUT OF Adam. So what does this mean? It means that just as Eve shared the same human nature as Adam, being taken out of Adam, Jesus shares the same nature as God the Father, because He was taken out of God. This is why John said that Jesus is 'God' in John 1. He wasn't saying that Jesus is the 'almight one true God'. He was simply stating the fact that Christ shares the same nature as His Father, being the SON OF God the Father. And that makes Him 'God'. I am human, so my son is human. God the Father is God (divine), so Jesus His Son is also God (divine). Do you see this? Now take a look at the following verse in Revelation ... "And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God." (Rev.3:14) ... So this verse confirms that Jesus is 'the beginning of the creation of God'. And who wrote this? John! The very person who wrote 'in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with [THE] God.' So in what way was Christ the beginning of the creation of God? Was Christ created by God? No! Christ was 'begotten' of the Father and literally 'came out of God'. This verse is saying that Christ is the very first 'action' of God. Christ 'coming out of God' was the very first action that the Father did, before anything was created. And this is what John is referring to in John 1:1. He is confirming that at the beginning of creation, Christ was with God. Many people miss the word 'beginning' and forget that it must mean the beginning of something. So John 1:1 is talking about the beginning of creation. And because Christ was 'brought forth' from the Father BEFORE anything was created, then John simply confirmed that Jesus was with God the Father at the beginning of creation. John is not saying that Jesus never had a beginning Himself. He is simply saying that Jesus was with God at the beginning of creation. Now read Proverbs 8 again ... "The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth.' ... Now can you see what John meant by 'in the beginning'? Christ is speaking through Solomon about Himself! And He confirms that 'in the beginning' of the Father's way, Christ was 'brought forth' as God's Son, before anything was created! "Oh!! ... But Thomas said to Jesus ... 'My Lord and My God'!" (John 20:28) This is the other verse that many Christians fall back on today to say that Jesus is 'the almighty God'. But again, they miss the simple truth of it. Remember that this is just a few verses before John says ... 'But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.' (John 20:31). So what do you think John is believing when he writes the account of Thomas? That Jesus is 'the almighty God'? No, that cannot be, because John focuses, as stated, in proclaiming that Jesus is the 'SON OF God', not the 'one true God' Himself (John 17:3). So what about the proclamation of Thomas? Well what did Jesus tell the disciples previous to this? John 14:8-10 ...'Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.' Again, this is one of those verses that people misuse to say that Jesus is the Father, and they completely ignore the rest of scripture, and common sense, which says Jesus is the Son of the Father, not the Father Himself. But what is Jesus saying above? That He reveals the Father to us. Jesus revealed the character of God, and it was God the Father dwelling in Jesus, by His Spirit, just as He dwells in us through His Spirit, guiding and helping us. And who else heard the above words to Phillip? Thomas! So Thomas knew that the Father was dwelling in Christ, through His Spirit, which is why he proclaimed "My Lord and My God". But the proclamation of Thomas in no way makes Jesus the Father or the 'one almighty God'. Please don't forget this important point. This is all from the gospel of John. And what did John say he wrote all this information to show us? That Jesus is 'the one true God'? No. To show us that Jesus is the 'SON OF' the one true God the Father. "Oh!! ... but Jesus is called the 'everlasting Father' in Isaiah 9:6". Well, what does that verse say? It says that Jesus 'SHALL be called' the everlasting Father. So this is talking about a FUTURE time. And what future time could that be referring to? The cross! And what did Jesus become at the cross? 'the AUTHOR of eternal life' (Hebrews 5:9), and the 'CAPTAIN of our salvation' (Hebrews 2:10). So yes, Jesus is our 'Father' of eternal life, because as the Bible says, God has 'put all things under His feet' (Hebrews 2:8). And Jesus declares that we are the 'children' whom God the Father has given to Jesus (Hebrews 2:13). So this prophecy in Isaiah is foretelling a time when Jesus would become a 'Father' to us IN OUR HUMANITY, as Jesus became one of us. But He is not God the Father. The Bible is so clear on this. Take a look at this quote ... "However much a shepherd may love his sheep, he loves his sons and daughters more. Jesus is not only our shepherd; He is our 'everlasting Father.' And He says, 'I know Mine own, and Mine own know Me, even as the Father knoweth Me, and I know the Father.' John 10:14, 15, R. V. What a statement is this!--the only-begotten Son, He who is in the bosom of the Father, He whom God has declared to be 'the Man that is My fellow' (Zech. 13:7), --the communion between Him and the eternal God is taken to represent the communion between Christ and His children on the earth! Because we are the gift of His Father, and the reward of His work, Jesus loves us. He loves us as His children." (E.White, Desire of Ages, p.483) Can you see what is being said above? Jesus as our 'Father' is a REPRESENTATION of the relationship between Himself and His Father which is God the Father, the one true God (John 17:3, 1 Cor.8:6). So we can see that Isaiah 9:6 is not prophesying that Jesus 'IS' the Father. It is prophesying that Jesus would 'become' a 'Father' to us. Like a Father-figure to us. Those who believe in the trinity and believe that Jesus is also the one God, have to believe that ... "God sent himself into the world, died to reconcile the world to himself, raised himself from the dead, ascended to himself in heaven, pleads before himself in heaven to reconcile the world to himself, and is the only mediator between man and himself ... We must believe also that in the garden God prayed to himself, if it were possible, to let the cup pass from himself, and a thousand other such absurdities." (J. N. Loughborough). And as J.N.Loughborough said, it is just 'absurd'. Some of those other absurdities attached to this belief is that Jesus is the immortal God but died, is the invisible God but was seen, is the omnipotent God but needed strength from angels, is the omniscient God but did not know the day of his return, is as great (in authority) as His Father but said His Father is greater than He, is the Son but the same age as the Father, is the begotten Son and the unbegotten God, is very God and very man, came out from Himself, prayed to Himself, gave power to Himself, thanked Himself, bore witness of Himself, went back to Himself, sits at the right hand of Himself, is His own Father and His own Son, left Heaven and yet was there all the time. And so the CONFUSION of Babylon continues! And the whole world is deceived! But the truth that is found in God's Word is clear, without confusion and very logical, as we have shown above. Friend, Satan wants you to turn away from the one true God, which is the Father. And he also wants you to reject Jesus as the literal Son of God. Satan wants you to be confused about God so that your relationship with God and Jesus cannot grow. I mean, how can we truly have a relationship with Jesus Christ and God the Father, when we are confused about who they are? It's impossible to have a true relationship with the 'trinity god'. Let me state that again - It is impossible to have a true relationship with the 'trinity god'. And if Satan stops you having that true relationship with the Father and Son, then he wins in your life. John 17:3 ...'And this is eternal life, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.' John 8:16-18 ...'And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.' John 3:16 ...'For God so loved the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.' 1 John 5:5 ...'Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?' Proverbs 30:4 ...'Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, AND what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?' 1 Corinthians 8:6 ...'But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; AND one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.' 1 John 1:3 ...'Truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.' It cannot be made any clearer that there are only two divine beings in the Godhead, and that Jesus Christ is not the Father, or the one true God. Jesus is the SON OF the one true God. There is one God, the Father, and one Lord Jesus Christ, whom is the Son of the Father. This is very clear, logical and Biblical Truth. Previous All trinity studies Next Back to top
