信仰的基础-第5章
“因为预言从来没有出于人意的,乃是人被圣灵感动,说出上帝的话来”(彼后1:21)。{FLB 10.1}[1]
信仰的基础-第5章
A Divinely Inspired Book
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man; but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.2 Peter 1:21.{FLB 10.1}[1]
信仰的基础-第5章
上帝把出于祂灵感的话托付给有限的人类。这话编成书,就是旧约与新约圣经,作为赐给堕落世界之居民的指南。他们学习和顺从其中的指示,就不会在通往天国的途中迷路。(1SM 16){FLB 10.2}[2]
信仰的基础-第5章
God committed the preparation of His divinely inspired Word to finite man. This Word, arranged into books, the Old and New Testaments, is the guidebook to the inhabitants of a fallen world, bequeathed to them that, by studying and obeying the directions, not one soul would lose its way to heaven.15{FLB 10.2}[2]
信仰的基础-第5章
圣经本身指明上帝是它的作者,然而它是用人手写成的,而且其中各卷不同的笔法也表现了不同写作者的特点。圣经中的真理固然“都是上帝所默示的”(提后3:16),但这些真理却是用人的言语表达出来的。那无穷无限的上帝曾藉着祂的圣灵,以真理的光点亮祂众仆人的心灵意识。祂使他们看见异象和异梦、表号和象征;然后这得蒙真理之启示的人使用人的话语将这些观念表达出来。(GC v){FLB 10.3}[3]
信仰的基础-第5章
The Bible points to God as its author; yet it was written by human hands; and in the varied style of its different books it presents the characteristics of the several writers. The truths revealed are all “given by inspiration of God” (2 Timothy 3:16); yet they are expressed in the words of men. The Infinite One by His Holy Spirit has shed light into the minds and hearts of His servants. He has given dreams and visions, symbols and figures; and those to whom the truth was thus revealed, have themselves embodied the thought in human language.16{FLB 10.3}[3]
信仰的基础-第5章
上帝以不完美的语言对人讲话,为使人类衰退了的感官、迟钝和属世的悟性能领会祂的话。上帝就这样屈尊迎合堕落的人类。圣经的语言虽然十分单纯,仍不能完全表达上帝的伟大思想。有限的表达方式无法充分体现无限的思想。许多人以为圣经夸大其辞。其实尽管圣经作者选用最好的词语来表述更高教育的真理,在伟大的思想面前仍显束手无策。(1SM 22){FLB 10.4}[4]
信仰的基础-第5章
The Lord speaks to human beings in imperfect speech, in order that the degenerate senses, the dull, earthly perception, of earthly beings may comprehend His words. Thus is shown God’s condescension. He meets fallen human beings where they are. The Bible, perfect as it is in its simplicity, does not answer to the great ideas of God; for infinite ideas cannot be perfectly embodied in finite vehicles of thought. Instead of the expressions of the Bible being exaggerated, as many people suppose, the strong expressions break down before the magnificence of the thought, though the penman selected the most expressive language through which to convey the truths of higher education.17{FLB 10.4}[4]
信仰的基础-第5章
上帝的旨意乃是要圣经作为全人类的课本,作为儿童、青年和壮年终身学习的资料。祂将自己的话赐给人,作为有关祂自己的启示。……圣经就是上帝和人类之间的交通媒介。(4SP 74){FLB 10.5}[5]
信仰的基础-第5章
God designed the Bible to be a lesson-book to all mankind, in childhood, youth, and manhood, and to be studied through all time. He gave His Word to men as a revelation of Himself.... It is the medium of communication between God and man.18{FLB 10.5}[5]
