很好,我们先开始第一部分。

第一部分(Part One)

问题一(Question One)

我的问题(My Question)

中文:

圣经说,在末后的日子,世界会越来越邪恶,越来越败坏,主耶稣就会再来。

那么,基督徒是不是应该故意让世界变得更坏、更混乱,好让耶稣早点回来呢?

English (ESL):

The Bible says that in the last days, the world will become more evil and more sinful before Jesus comes again.

So, should Christians make the world worse so that Jesus will come back sooner?

改革宗回答(Reformed Answer)

第一原则:绝对不可以。

中文:

绝对不可以。

这种想法违背了整本圣经。

神预言世界会越来越败坏,并不是命令基督徒去帮助世界败坏。

神告诉我们未来会发生什么,并不是告诉我们应该去做什么。

English (ESL):

Absolutely not.

This idea goes against the whole Bible.

God tells us that the world will become more evil.

But He never commands Christians to help make it more evil.

God tells us what will happen.

He is not telling us what we should do.

改革宗一直强调:

> 神的预言(Prophecy)不是人的命令(Command)。
God's prophecy is not man's command.

这是理解末世论最重要的原则之一。
This is one of the most important principles in understanding the last days.

为什么会产生这种误解?
Why do people misunderstand this?

因为很多人把:
Because many people confuse:

> 神预定会发生
God has ordained something to happen.

误认为

with

> 我们应该帮助它发生。
"We should help make it happen."

这是完全错误的。

This is completely wrong.

例如:

For example,

神预言:

God foretold:

> 犹大会卖耶稣。
Judas would betray Jesus.

那么:

Does that mean

我们应该鼓励犹大卖耶稣吗?
we should encourage Judas to betray Jesus?

当然不是。

Of course not.

神预言:

God foretold:

彼得会三次不认主。
Peter would deny Jesus three times.

难道彼得应该努力去否认耶稣吗?
Should Peter have tried hard to deny Jesus?

当然不是。

Of course not.

同样,

In the same way,

神预言:

God foretold:

末世会越来越邪恶。
The last days will become more evil.

并不表示:
That does not mean

基督徒应该帮助邪恶增长。
Christians should help evil grow.

圣经第一处依据

罗马书 3:8

中文(和合本)

为什么不说:“我们可以作恶以成善呢?”

这是毁谤我们的人说我们有这话。

这等人定罪是该当的。

English (NCV)

Some people say we teach, "Let's do evil so that good will come."

They are wrong to say this about us.

They deserve the judgment they will get.

经文解释

中文:

保罗已经回答了这个问题。

有人认为:

如果神最终会得到荣耀,

那么我们是不是可以故意犯罪?

保罗说:

这种人应该受审判。

因为这是完全错误的思想。

English (ESL):

Paul already answered this question.

Some people thought,

"If God will receive glory in the end,

should we sin on purpose?"

Paul said,

people who think like this are wrong.

They deserve judgment.

这节经文几乎可以直接回答今天的问题。
This verse almost directly answers today's question.

不能因为神会使用邪恶,
Because God can use evil,

我们就去制造邪恶。
we must never create evil.

第二处经文

罗马书 6:1-2

中文(和合本)

这样,怎么说呢?

我们可以仍在罪中,

叫恩典显多吗?

断乎不可!

我们在罪上死了的人,

岂可仍在罪中活着呢?

English (NCV)

So do you think we should continue sinning

so that God will give us more and more grace?

No!

We died to sin.

How can we continue living in sin?
