轉載 基要真理問答 (一) 聖經
07 . 為什麼聖經有時稱
[ 神 ]
有時稱 [ 上帝 ] 有何不同 ?
答 : 這只是翻譯上的不同
[ 神 ] 和 [ 上帝 ] 在聖經原文本是一個詞
因在教會中 有主張譯為 [ 神 ]
有主張譯為上帝
所以長期以來教會都保持兩種版本
並存並用

哥林多後書 2 Corinthians
3 : 6

"There we saw the giants." (Num.
13:33)
Yes, they saw the giants, but Caleb and Joshua
saw God!
Those who doubt say, "We be not able to go
up."
Those who believe say, "Let us go up at
once and possess it, for we are well able."
Giants stand for great difficulties; and giants
are stalking everywhere.
They are in our families, in our churches, in
our social life, in our own hearts; and we must overcome them or they will eat
us up, as these men of old said of the giants of Canaan.
The men of faith said, "They are bread for
us; we will eat them up." In other words, "We will be stronger by
overcoming them than if there had been no giants to overcome."
Now the fact is, unless we have the overcoming
faith we shall be eaten up, consumed by the giants in our path.
Let us have the spirit of faith that these men
of faith had, and see God, and He will take care of the difficulties.
--Selected.
It is when we are in the way of duty that we
find giants.
It was when Israel was going forward that the
giants appeared.
When they turned back into the wilderness they
found none.
There is a prevalent idea that the power of God
in a human life should lift us above all trials and conflicts.
The fact is, the power of God always brings a
conflict and a struggle.
One would have thought that on his great
missionary journey to Rome, Paul would have been carried by some mighty
providence above the power of storms and tempests and enemies.
But, on the
contrary, it was one long, hard fight with persecuting Jews, with wild
tempests, with venomous vipers and all the powers of earth and hell, and at
last he was saved, as it seemed, by the narrowest margin, and had to swim
ashore at
Malta on a piece of wreckage and barely escape a watery grave.
Was that like a God of infinite power? Yes, just
like Him. And so Paul tells us that when he took the Lord Jesus Christ as the
life of his body, a severe conflict immediately came; indeed, a conflict that
never ended, a pressure that was persistent, but out of which he always emerged
victorious through the strength of Jesus Christ.
The language in which he describes this is most
graphic.
"We are troubled on every side, yet not
distressed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast
down, but not destroyed, always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord
Jesus, that the life also of
Jesus might be manifested in our body."
What a ceaseless, strenuous struggle!
It is impossible to express in English the
forcible language of the original.
There are five pictures in succession.
In the first, the idea is crowding enemies
pressing in from every side, and yet not crushing him because the police of
heaven cleared the way just wide enough for him to get through.
The literal translation would be, "We are
crowded on every side, but not crushed."
The second picture is that of one whose way
seems utterly closed and yet he has pressed through; there is light enough to
show him the next step.
The Revised Version translates it,
"Perplexed but not unto despair." Rotherham still more literally
renders it, "Without a way, but not without a by-way."
The third figure is that of an enemy in hot
pursuit while the divine Defender still stands by, and he is not left alone.
Again we adopt the fine rendering of Rotherham,
"Pursued but not abandoned."
The fourth figure is still more vivid and
dramatic.
The enemy has overtaken him, has struck him, has
knocked him down.
But it is not a fatal blow; he is able to rise
again. It might be translated, "Overthrown but not overcome."
Once more the figure advances, and now it seems
to be even death itself, "Always bearing about in the body the dying of
the Lord Jesus."
But he does not die, for "the life also of
Jesus" now comes to his aid and he lives in the life of another until his
life work is done.
The reason so many fail in this experience of
divine healing is because they expect to have it all without a struggle, and
when the conflict comes and the battle wages long, they become discouraged and
surrender.
God has nothing worth having that is easy.
There are no cheap goods in the heavenly market.
Our redemption cost all that God had to give, and everything worth having is
expensive.
Hard places are the very school of faith and
character, and if we are to rise over mere human strength and prove the power
of life divine in these mortal bodies, it must be through a process of conflict
that may well be called the birth travail of a new life. It is the old figure
of the bush that burned, but was not consumed, or of the Vision in the house of
the Interpreter of the flame that would not expire, notwithstanding the fact
that the demon ceaselessly poured water on it, because in the background stood
an angel ever pouring oil and keeping the flame aglow.
No, dear suffering child of God, you cannot fail
if only you dare to believe, to stand fast and refuse to be overcome. --Tract.
