前兩天來了兩個台灣人 開門見山是要來跟我分享聖經 我表明了牧師的身分 他們還是依然要跟我分享聖經怎麼說 意思是:他們的教導是對的,我們的教導是錯的 我告訴他們我在台灣已經跟他們教會交談過多次 我表示各教派對聖經某些部分有不同的看法與解釋可以彼此尊重 他回答我:牧師你知道的,聖經只有一種解釋 意思是:他們的教導是對的,我們的教導是錯的 以這個經歷來看今天的經文 說真心話常常是得罪人的原因 當保羅看見滿城偶像就心裡著急 因此每日在會堂市集與人辯論 真心話聽在不接受的人的耳中真是難以接受 但不說真心話卻又違背了信仰的良知 這狀況常常使我們陷入兩難 保羅在這兩難之間還是選擇了說真心話 因為因著真理說真心話總比妥協來的好 不過我們是否可以學像保羅 以未識之神來解釋耶穌與復活的道 卻又不傷及彼此之間的和氣 這是需要求神給予智慧 不要把在真理沙灘上撿到的貝殼當成唯一的真理 因為我們只是站在真理的沙灘上撿拾貝殼的小孩 使徒行傳 17:16 保羅photo在雅典photosite等候他們的時候,看見滿城都是偶像,就心裡著急; Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. wholly...: or, full of idols 17:17 於是在會堂photo裡與猶太site人和虔敬的人,並每日在市上所遇見的人,辯論。 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him. 17:18 還有伊壁鳩魯和斯多亞兩門的學士,與他爭論。有的說:「這胡言亂語的要說甚麼?」有的說:「他似乎是傳說外邦鬼神的。」這話是因保羅傳講耶穌與復活的道。 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection. babbler: or, base fellow 17:19 他們就把他帶到亞略•巴古,說:「你所講的這新道,我們也可以知道嗎? And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is ? Areopagus: or, Mars' hill: it was the highest court in Athens 17:20 因為你有些奇怪的事傳到我們耳中,我們願意知道這些事是甚麼意思。」 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean. 17:21 (雅典人和住在那裡的客人都不顧別的事,只將新聞說說聽聽。) (For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.) 17:22 保羅photo站在亞略•巴古當中,說:「眾位雅典人哪,我看你們凡事很敬畏鬼神。 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. Mars' hill: or, the court of the Areopagites 17:23 我遊行的時候,觀看你們所敬拜的,遇見一座壇,上面寫著『未識之神』。你們所不認識而敬拜的,我現在告訴你們。 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. devotions: or, gods that ye worship
