The Doctrine of Adiaphora 中立物的教義 Freedom and Responsibility
1 Corinthians 8:8 8 But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do. • 其實食物不能叫 神看中我們.因為我們不喫也無損、喫也無益。 • 1 Corinthians 10:23–24 23 “Everything is permissible”—but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible”—but not everything is constructive. 24 Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others. • 23凡事都可行.但不都有益處。凡事都可行.但不都造就人。24無論何人、不要求自己的益處、乃要求別人的益處。 1 Corinthians 8 & 10 Freedom and Responsibility
Christian Freedom • What two apparently contrasting principles are presented in 1 Corinthians 8:8 and 10:23-24? • Explain how the two principles fit together. 基督徒的自由
1 Corinthians 10:31–33 31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 32 Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God— 33 even as I try to please everybody in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved. • 林前 10:31–33所以你們或喫或喝,無論作甚麼,都要為榮耀上帝而行。32不拘是猶太人,是希利尼人,是 神的教會,你們都不要使他跌倒。33就好像我凡事都叫眾人喜歡,不求自己的益處,只求眾人的益處,叫他們得救。 1 Corinthians 10 Freedom and Responsibility
Christian Freedom • Agree or Disagree and Explain. With worship, it is impossible to make everybody happy. So, it is pointless to think first of others when making decisions about worship.是沒有可能有人人都喜愛的敬拜模式。那麼當在決定敬拜模式時, 是首先顧及其他人是沒有用的。同意與否? 試解釋你的看法。 基督徒的自由
1 Corinthians 14:13–20 13 For this reason anyone who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret what he says. 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. 15 So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind. 16 If you are praising God with your spirit, how can one who finds himself among those who do not understand say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying? 17 You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other man is not edified. 18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. 19 But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue. 20 Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults. • 林前14:13-20 所以那說方言的、就當求著能翻出來。14我若用方言禱告、是我的靈禱告.但我的悟性沒有果效。15這卻怎麼樣呢.我要用靈禱告、也要用悟性禱告.我要用靈歌唱、也要用悟性歌唱。16不然、你用靈祝謝、那在座不通方言的人、既然不明白你的話、怎能在你感謝的時候說阿們呢。17你感謝的固然是好、無奈不能造就別人。18我感謝 神、我說方言比你們眾人還多.19但在教會中、寧可用悟性說五句教導人的話、強如說萬句方言。20弟兄們、在心志上不要作小孩子.然而在惡事上要作嬰孩.在心志上總要作大人。 1 Corinthians 14 Freedom and Responsibility
