【预定论的迷思】神预定我犯罪，所以我犯罪就不应该被定罪。不，这样的思维说明了两件事，一、罪人无法自救，罪人不知懊悔，为罪找藉口；二、神有绝对的主权，神要人犯罪，人必然犯罪，毫不抗拒，豪不懊悔。

Tom Hsu 预定论，原本要拒绝教会权势，要人感恩报恩，但是末了变成懒人窝，空谈恩典。自由意志论，原本要为神的窘境解套，人认罪羞愧，但是末了变成行为主义，善行代表一切。

【神学】加尔文派和阿米年派的不同。
Like · · Share

Tom Hsu 加尔文派强调神的主权，无知的罪人没资格审判神的决定。阿米年派强调人的罪性，罪人使用自由意志在犯罪，咎由自取，不能怪罪于神。
November 16, 2013 at 8:03am · Like
Tom Hsu 加尔文派强调预定论，凡事都是神所预定，神自由决定是否拣选某个罪人，不在于罪人的行善，不在于罪人的悖逆（拣选就暗示：强制拯救。重生决定于神的意念。）。阿米年派强调自由意志，即使得救了，也可能失去救恩；个人的信心和行为会改变自己的救恩。

Tom Hsu 加尔文派说，人全然堕落，没有寻求神的人。神不按照人身上的条件在拣选人，而是随着自己的心意拣选。基督只为少数人死，甚至只为不属于世界的门徒祷告。神要救谁，谁就必然得救，无法拒绝。神要救谁，必然救他救到底；神是熟练的陶匠，我们是神手上的陶土，必然做成他要的器皿。

Tom Hsu 阿米年派说，人没有完全败坏，因为人还会行善，有恻隐之心。神是按照人的信心来救人，人信则神救，人行则神助，人神在互动中完成拯救大工。基督是为所有的人死，但是只有信靠基督的人才能得救。人有自由意志，可以拒绝神的救恩；甚至得救后，也可以中止信心，神也随之中止拯救（拯救包括三个阶段：称义、成圣、得荣耀）。

Tom Hsu 注意，加尔文派和阿米年派的思想未必代表加尔文和阿米年，因为这个争议是在他们死后才产生了，他们在世时这个争议才略略发苗。其次，在阿米年派被定为异端后，他们的文献几乎被烧光，现存的阿米年派资料多来自于加尔文派，也就是原貌尽失。

欧洲中世纪的乱世和教会的角色。在蛮族入侵前，罗马表面辉煌，但是武力夺权是个常态，因为武力造就了罗马，功高震主后的赏罚不公，因此荣耀和平反容许武力夺权。武力夺权久了，中央就不稳固，地方就山头林立。最后帝国只能依靠教会来维持安定。

Tom Hsu 蛮族入侵后，罗马亡国，进入新的战国时代。蛮族才分封制，老国王死了，几个孩子就彼此侵略，外加其它国家或蛮族的侵略。到了查理曼父子才开始长子继承制，同时开始婚姻联盟来稳定政权。改变不是一蹴即成，而联盟的结果形成了左右欧洲政坛的超级家族。

Basically, humble, fearing, and trembling are very similar. if purposely, (1) humble: my way is better, but I respect God. (2) fearing: my way can help God, but somehow it irritates God. (3) trembling: God's way is always the best, and my way ends up to misery even if it looks good in the beginning.

Linda Zhao The beatitudes begin the “Sermon on the Mount.” The qualities described in the Beatitudes give a picture of the character of the true people of God, those who are a part of his kingdom and have the full blessings of the kingdom to look forward to. Taken together they give the picture of the perfect disciple of Christ who is the heir of the promises. Jesus does not here tell people how to attain these qualities; that will come in subsequent teachings.

Linda Zhao I checked on commentaries and expositions on the Beatitudes from different reliable sources, which basically have similar understanding of the meaning of the beatitudes. As for those who are "poor in heart," it is widely agreed that it refers to those who are humble before God, and thus come to Jesus as hopeless and helpless sinners.

Tom Hsu 5:5, meek means to continue the ministry; 5:7, merciful means to give (from nowhere); 5:8, pure means clean from sin or doubt, i.e., faithful; 5:9, peacemakers mean bridge from sinners to God;..... as a result of ministry, it leads to persecution in 5:10-11. Notice that the poor in spirit have the same reward with the persecuted for righteousness, the kingdom of heaven. Righteousness is the cause of the persecuted, and the purpose of the hungry and thirsty.

Tom Hsu Therefore, the poor in spirit are not those hopeless sinners, but those pilgrims toward the temple of God. Of course, we have to acknowledge our hopeless and lacking status. However, the theme of the Sermon on the Mount is the daily life of a God-fearing person, rather than a sinner turns to God for help and salvation.
