BELIEVE Religious Information Source相信宗教信息源

We feel that the Lord cannot be Pleased with how hate-filled so many of His followers are toward others who do not agree with their views or beliefs, especially other Believers in Him!我們覺得上帝不能高興怎麼充滿仇恨,使他的許多追隨者是對他人的人不同意他們的看法或信念,尤其是其他信徒,在他! Over half of all the six billion people on our planet believe in Him, the One True God of Abraham (which includes Christians, Jews, Muslims and others), yet the vast majority of them feel extreme hatred toward others of His followers.超過一半的60億人民對我們這個星球相信他,一個真正的亞伯拉罕的神(其中包括基督徒,猶太人,穆斯林和其他人) ,但絕大多數人感到極端仇恨,對他人的信徒。 Why?為什麼呢? Because each of the many different religions and Denominations HAVE MADE THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL ASSUMPTIONS REGARDING EXACTLY WHAT HE MEANT TO TEACH US, and therefore each chooses to Teach selective, and sometimes distorted information about all other belief systems.因為每個人的許多不同的宗教和教派都作出了自己的個人假設正是他的意思,以教導美國,因此每個人選擇任教選擇性的,有時甚至歪曲的信息對所有其他信仰體系。 Can the Lord be Pleased with this sort of behavior?可上帝很樂意與這樣的行為呢? We think not.我們認為不會。 We think that He would wish ALL people to have access to and understanding of ACCURATE and HONEST information on all religious subjects.我們認為,他希望所有的人都能接受和理解的準確和誠實信息對所有宗教科目。 Christians believe that He has imbued an Indwelling Holy Spirit in each person such that the person then has Divine assistance regarding Discerning what is correct regarding the best way of Worshipping the One True Lord.基督徒相信他是一個充滿留置聖靈在每個人,如該人,然後有神明求助雪亮什麼是正確的就最好的辦法崇拜一個真正的上帝。 Religious systems tend to try to force followers to accept ONLY what they teach them, and to be deaf to things anyone else might say.宗教制度往往試圖強迫信徒只接受他們教導他們,並可以充耳不聞事情誰都可能會說。 There is nothing wrong with Trusting and following your religious leader, and indeed, it is important to do so.是沒有錯的信任和你的宗教領袖,而事實上,這是非常重要的這樣做。 But there also needs to be some system of checks and balances where the Lord's True Message might not be distorted.但也需要一些改善的制衡制度,凡主的真實訊息,可能不會被扭曲。

We have recently realized that if Jesus Himself would arrive at any of many thousands of Christian Churches, in His robe and with His long hair and general appearance, He would certainly be denied admission to the Church!最近,我們意識到,如果耶穌本人將達成任何的數以千計的基督教教堂,在他的長袍,與他的長頭髮和一般外貌,他一定會被拒絕入學,以教會! What does THAT say about our modern understanding of what He tried to Teach us?這究竟意味說,對我們現代理解的是什麼,他嘗試教我們嗎?

The different religions and Denominations each absolutely insist that THEIR interpretation is superior to all others.各宗教和教派互相絕對堅持認為,他們的解釋是優於所有其他國家。 Isn't that Arrogance, something that the Lord Wished us to avoid?是不是傲慢,這是上帝希望我們能夠避免嗎? It seems to us that if a religion chooses to refer to the One True God by a somewhat confusing collection of Three Different Names (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) or to see Him as very Harsh (Jewish) or Loving (Christianity), does it necessarily mean that HE is any Different?在我們看來,如果一種宗教的選擇是指以一的真神,由有點困惑收集三種不同的名字(父,子和聖靈) ,或看到他作為非常苛刻(猶太人)或愛(基督教) ,並這等於說,他是有什麼不同呢? Probably not.也許還不夠。 It probably simply indicates that we humans are not nearly as smart as we often want to claim, and that there are many, many things that we only vaguely comprehend.這可能是簡單地顯示出,我們人類是不是幾乎一樣聰明,因為我們常常要索賠,而且有很多很多的事情,我們只隱約領悟。 There actually seems a credible possibility that we are all actually "speaking the same language of Love and Adoration for the One True God of Abraham" but simply do not (yet) realize it!事實上似乎是一個有公信力的可能性,我們都實際上是在"講同一種語言的愛和崇拜為一個真正的亞伯拉罕的神" ,但根本不(但)實現它!

A central reason for the existence of the BELIEVE resource is to try to provide the best such information that we could accumulate.中央存在的原因了,相信資源是盡可能提供最好的這類信息,我們可以積累。 Many of our subject presentations include articles written by Protestant Christian scholars, Catholic scholars, Jewish scholars, Orthodox scholars, Muslim scholars, etc, to try to provide the broadest possible view of a subject, by including perspectives from many different directions.我們的許多主題演講,包括所寫的文章新教基督教學者,天主教學者,猶太學者,正統學者,穆斯林學者等,設法提供盡可能廣泛的觀點一個主題,由包括來自許多不同的方向發展。

BELIEVE is a collection of over 7,000 articles by respected scholars on around 2,300 religious subjects. Protestant Christian Churches, the Roman Catholic Church, and the Orthodox Church, all follow Faiths which involve hundreds of individual subjects, which are each thoroughly presented in BELIEVE. 相信是一個收集了超過7000人的文章,尊重學者,就2300年左右的宗教科目。基督教新教教會,羅馬天主教會和東正教會的,所有後續信仰涉及數以百計的個別科目,這是每一個深入介紹相信。 Many of these subjects are very important to Faith, like Eschatology , but are seldom presented in Church Services or during Bible Study.許多這些科目都是非常重要的信仰,像末世的,但很少是在教會服務,或在聖經研究。 Others are commonly known religious subjects, like Salvation , or Baptism , that we just present more thoroughly than is usually available.另一些通常被稱為宗教科目,像救國 ,或洗禮 ,我們只是目前更徹底,比通常可用。

John 5:39: Search the scriptures (KJAV) (ereunao graphe) 約翰5點39分:搜索念經( kjav ) ( ereunao graphe )

We think you might find it refreshing that we have no intention of pushing you toward any specific attitudes or positions. We also have no intention of trying to get you to like or dislike any specific group or Denomination or Faith. 我們想,你也可能覺得耳目一新,我們無意把你對任何具體的態度或立場,我們也無意試圖取你喜歡或不喜歡的任何特定團體或面額或信仰。 (We DO hope that you will pursue SOME Faith and some method of Worshipping God!) Our intent is only to present you with enough accurate, unbiased information such that you can make your own thoughtful conclusion about any particular subject. (我們希望你會追求一些信仰和一些方法崇拜上帝! ) ,我們的意圖僅僅是目前你有足夠準確的,不帶偏見的信息,例如,你可以使你自己的深思熟慮的結論,任何特定議題。 If you have questions, concerns, doubts, skepticism, you're probably in the right place to get actual information on which to form your own conclusions.如果您有任何疑問,憂慮,疑惑,懷疑,你可能在正確的地方得到的實際資料,以形成自己的結論。 We have tried hard NOT to include opinions or unsupported logic.我們已經盡了努力,不列入意見或無依無靠的邏輯。 Our attitude is that YOU must find your own conclusions (as long as you have accurate information to work with) and it is not our place to try to drag you anywhere!我們的態度是:你必須找到你自己的結論(只要你有準確的資料,以便工作) ,它不是我們的地方,試圖幫助你隨時隨地!

A concept that we have tried to keep in mind in assembling BELIEVE is:一個概念,我們已經盡了必須牢記於心,在裝配相信是:
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for men. 無論你做工作,把它與所有你的心,彷彿你的工作,為上帝而不是為男性。 (Col.3: 23) ( col.3 : 23 )

In that regard, we have added nearly 4,000 complete texts of Early Christian Manuscripts (translated into English).在這方面,我們已增加了將近4000人,完成文本的早期基督教手稿(翻譯成英語) 。 We think that cynics might be surprised in browsing through some of them, as, for example, the single presentation on Tatian's Diatessaron includes over 3,800 footnotes!我們認為譏諷可能驚訝地在翻閱他們中的一些人,因為,舉例來說,單就 tatian的diatessaron包含了超過3800個註腳! An access to the entire assemblage is at 4,000 Early Christian Manuscripts The level of intellectual care and attention to accuracy is really impressive!一個訪問整個組合,是在4000早期基督教手稿水平的智力的關懷和照顧,準確性,實在是令人印象深刻!

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As a result of many thousands of received e-mails, I feel that the Holy Spirit wishes me to add two links here to pages which I, the Editor of BELIEVE, composed, and which are not actually in the BELIEVE site.由於許多數千收到電子郵件,我覺得這是聖靈的意願,我要補充的兩個環節此頁,我的編輯認為,組成,它們其實不是在相信網站。 There have been so many people who seem to have misconceptions about Christianity in general or certain centrally important parts of it, that it seems necessary to make these two links available here.有這麼多的人,似乎有誤解,基督教在一般或某些集中的重要組成部分,那似乎有必要作這兩個環節上載這裡。
A Broader Presentation of Christianity 更廣泛地介紹基督教
Christian Arrogance or Self-Righteousness 基督教的囂張氣焰,或自我正義
Several of the most important topics have presentations that extend over 100 screenfuls of text! The presentation of the Roman Catholic Church is more than 30 screens in length. 一些最重要的課題,有介紹說,延長超過100 screenfuls文本!陳述的羅馬天主教教會是30多屏幕的長度。 The one on God is about 150 screens in length.其中有關上帝是約150屏幕的長度。 The one on The Childhood of Jesus is nearly 500 screens in length!一個對童年的耶穌是,近500人,在屏幕上的長度! Even a generally unfamiliar subject like Supralapsarianism is about five screens in length, with several links to other BELIEVE pages that are closely related to that subject.即使是一般陌生的題目像supralapsarianism約5屏幕長,有幾個鏈接到其它相信頁面是密切相關的這一主題。 Some of the more obscure subjects are covered in just one or two screens.一些較模糊科目涵蓋的一個或兩個屏幕。

There is certainly a multitude of Christian and other religious sites on the Internet.當然是有眾多的基督教和其他宗教場所在互聯網上。 Many of them are informative, but they seem to generally present only their own view of whatever subjects they discuss.他們中的許多人都是翔實的,但他們似乎普遍,目前只有他們自己的看法,無論科目的,他們討論的。 That might be valuable, but it can often cause an incomplete understanding of those subjects.可能是寶貴的,但它往往造成不完全理解那些科目。 How can a student of Christianity or any other religion truly understand any subject if he/she only has access to one narrow viewpoint?怎樣才能有學生的基督教或其他任何宗教的真正了解任何問題,如果他/她只獲得了一個狹隘的觀點?

Our Non-Denominational Christian Church thinks that is wrong.我們的非宗教的基督教教會認為是錯誤的。 How could a person develop a solid foundation for Faith if incomplete or inaccurate or distorted information is all that is available? Our approach is to try to imagine how Jesus might have presented religious information. Would He have only presented some facts that supported a point He wanted to make?怎麼可能一個人發展了堅實的基礎,為信仰,如果不完整或不準確的甚至是扭曲的信息是,所有這些都是可供選擇? 我們的做法是要設法想像怎麼耶穌可能有介紹宗教的資料,會不會他只是陳述一些事實,支持這一點,他通緝令? We doubt it!我們懷疑它! Would He have presented any statement that He did not truly believe to be true, or that was otherwise incomplete or inaccurate or misleading?他會提出任何聲明,他並不真正相信是千真萬確的,或者以其他方式不完整或不準確或誤導? We doubt it!我們懷疑它! We think that He would have patiently sat down with anyone who had questions and He would have helped each person to fully understand the answers to those questions.我們認為,他會耐心地坐下來與任何人有問題,他將有幫助,每個人都充分認識到這些問題的答案。

Well, we have a disadvantage here!那麼,我們有一個缺點在這裡! We are not Jesus!我們不是耶穌! We do not have His Knowledge and Understanding!我們沒有他的知識和理解! So, we just try the best we can to supply the most accurate, understandable and complete information we can, on each of these many subjects.所以,我們只是盡力,我們可以提供最準確的,可以理解的,完整的信息,我們可以對上述每一許多學科。 That is basically the core reason for the BELIEVE Religious Information Source web-site. We try to not express opinions but only present the facts and all of the generally accepted attitudes on each subject.這是基本的核心原因為相信宗教信息源網站, 我們盡量不表示意見,但目前唯一的事實,並都普遍接受的態度,對每一科目。

BELIEVE has two parallel home pages, one with the subjects listed alphabetically and the other with more central subjects at the start of the list.相信有兩個平行的首頁,一次是與科目,按英文字母順序,以及其他更多的中央科目,在開始的名單。 (The alphabetical list is to the right, and a link above it can get you to the other list.) These articles were written by many world-renowned scholars in their specific subjects. We felt that such scholars were the best available authorities in each of the many subjects. (按字母順序排列的名單是向正確的,並得到一個鏈接以上就能得到你的其他名單) , 這些文章的作者,許多世界知名學者 ,在他們的具體科目,我們認為,這樣的學者和最好當局每年在眾多學科。 We are very aware that there have probably been millions of articles written by religious scholars over the centuries, and we have only been able (so far) to review a tiny fraction of them.我們深深知道,有可能在數百萬篇文章,由宗教學者數百年來,我們也只能找到(至今) ,以檢討的一小段時間。 That means that this BELIEVE site should forever be a work-in-progress, and it will hopefully forever get better and better!這意味著這個網站,相信應該是一條永遠的工作正在取得進展,它也希望在將來永遠是越來越好! We sometimes say that in another thirty years, BELIEVE might start to resemble something that the Lord might be Pleased with!我們有時會說,在另一個三十年,相信可能會開始相似的東西主可能會感到高興!

In the process of selecting the 7,000+ articles that are currently included in BELIEVE, we examined over 50,000 articles that we did not include.在這一過程中選擇7000名+文章認為,目前列入相信,我們曾經研究過50000文章說,我們沒有列入。 If an article seemed biased or incomplete or not solidly based on accepted scholastic standards, we did not include it.如果一篇文章,似乎偏頗或不完整或不實,根據認可的學術標準,我們不包括它。 It is our hope that the remaining articles are useful to the visitors to this site.這是我們的希望,其餘的條款都是有益的遊客到本網站。

Whether your interest is casual curiosity or deep philosophical research, BELIEVE should certainly be helpful. Many of the subject presentations start with a General level presentation of the subject, which is often followed by a very comprehensive Advanced presentation for student and Ministry research. 無論您的興趣是偶然的好奇心,或深哲學研究中,相信應該一定有幫助,很多的主題演講開始,作為總水平陳述的主題,這是之後往往是一個很全面的先進介紹 ,為學生和財政部研究。 Actual Scripture from the Bible are generally not included, but many thousands of Scriptural references are included, as are extensive bibliographies (for most of the articles) for even further study.實際經文從聖經一般都不包括在內,但許多數以千計的聖經參考文獻在內,因為有廣泛的書目(大部分的物品) ,甚至進一步研究。

Have you ever been a little unclear when your Minister refers to sanctification in a sermon? Or ultradispensationalism? Or Baptism? Or infralapsarianism? Or Salvation? Well, most Ministers aren't going to even mention two of these very 7important aspects of Christian Faith in their Sermons! 你是不是去過有點不清楚的時候,你的部長指成聖在講道中,還是ultradispensationalism還是 洗禮,還是infralapsarianism還是 救贖?好,大多數部長們不是去甚至提及兩名這些非常7important方面的基督教信仰他們的說教! But they would if they could!但他們如果他們能夠! Or maybe you wanted to learn more about your friend's Methodism? Or about Amish beliefs?或者,你想更多地了解你的朋友methodism還是阿米甚信仰嗎? Or the history of The Lord's Prayer? Have you ever been curious about just how our modern beliefs in Jesus got refined to where they are today?還是歷史的主禱文?你是不是去過好奇,究竟我國現代信仰耶穌得到改良,以那裡能有今天? Or you wanted deeper understanding of any of hundreds of other interesting religious topics?或者你想更深入的了解,任何其他數百個有趣的宗教議題?

These are some reasons where you may want to browse through BELIEVE!這些都是由於某種原因,您可能想瀏覽相信!

As mentioned above, we have gone to considerable effort to eliminate bias from this collection of articles. It is reasonable for most authors to be enthusiastic for their subject, but if an author showed such an extreme attitude that possible distortion of facts might happen, WE LEFT SUCH AN ARTICLE OUT! BELIEVE is meant as an information source which has the most "level playing field" possible, so that readers can count on getting useful and fair and accurate information. 如上所述,我們已經過了相當多的努力,消除偏見,從這個搜羅了多篇文章,這是合理的大多數作者,以熱衷於為自己的問題,但如果一個作者發現這樣一種極端的態度,這可能歪曲事實,可能發生的事,我們留下了這樣一篇文章! 相信就是一個信息來源,其中有最"公平競爭"的可能,使讀者可以指望得到有用的,公平的和準確的信息。 There is only one substantial bias that was NOT removed, that against Satanists, Atheists, and similar groups.只存在一個龐大的偏見,這是不能完全取消,這對satanists ,無神論者,和類似團體。 We considered including some of their own information, to balance some of the negative comments that some of our included authors make, but we decided that we did NOT want to encourage or publicize or support the activities or beliefs of such groups.我們考慮了包括自己的一些信息,以平衡的一些負面評論,我們的一些包括作者,但我們還是決定我們不希望鼓勵或宣傳或支持活動或信念的這種團體。

If you get the impression that any particular presentation in this library shows substantial bias for or against any group or belief system, please let us know by an E-mail message or a postal letter.如果你得到的印象是,沒有特別的介紹,在這個圖書館表明,大量的偏見或反對任何集團或信仰系統,請讓我們知道通過電子郵件或郵寄信件。 We hope to forever improve BELIEVE, and you can help!我們希望能永遠改善相信,而且你也可以幫忙!

People regularly send in manuscripts and essays which they hope to have added to our BELIEVE site.人們經常派在手稿和隨筆,他們希望有補充說:我們相信網站。 Unfortunately, most of them cannot be used here.不幸的是,他們大多不能用在這裡。 One characteristic we insist on is that ALL perspectives on a subject or issue be equally and fairly discussed, as is the case in any credible scholarly work.特徵之一,我們堅持的是,所有的角度對題目或問題得到公正和公平的討論,即是如此,在任何可信的學術著作。 When most people feel motivated to write an essay, it is because they have very strong feelings regarding one particular viewpoint on the subject.當大多數人覺得動機,以寫一篇文章,那是因為他們有非常強烈的感情,對於一個特定的角度對此事的意見。 In many places, there is nothing wrong with that, in "promoting" that particular perspective.在許多地方,是沒有錯的,在"促進"特殊角度。 It is even often a great way of encouraging people to accept that particular belief.它甚至往往是一個偉大的方式,鼓勵市民接受,特別是信仰。 But BELIEVE is meant to present ALL perspectives as equally as is possible, and so "sales pitches" for any one position are not generally desirable here.但我們認為,是指以目前所有的角度,同樣是有可能的,因此, "推銷"任何一個位置一般都不是可取的。 In many cases, such an essay could be fairly easily expanded to include the opposing viewpoints.在許多情況下,這樣的一篇文章,可以相當容易擴大,以包括相反的觀點。 There have been many wonderful manuscripts sent in, which could have been used with such a modification, but not otherwise.其間有許多奇妙的手稿寄出,這可能被用來與這樣的修改,而不是相反。

The individual web-page presentations are all designed to display properly on any home computer.個人網頁介紹都是為了正確顯示任何家用電腦一樣。 They are hopefully also compatible with the obsolete computers and browsers which Missionaries often have to use.他們希望,亦與過時的電腦和瀏覽器,其中傳教士經常有機會使用。 (The files are each made absolutely as small as they can be so that such Missionaries can have shorter Internet access times and expenses.) BELIEVE doesn't contain banners or other images that might interfere with such use. (檔案是每個取得絕對小,因為他們可以使這種傳教士可以有更短的上網時間和費用。 )認為,不包含橫幅或其他形象可能會干擾這種使用。

If someone thoroughly studied the entire contents of BELIEVE (equivalent to over 10,000 pages of typewritten text, over 30,000 screenfuls) and also the Bible, the resultant religious knowledge would be very close to that of a Divinity Degree from a Seminary! We realize that most people aren't going to use it that thoroughly! 如果有人深入研究的全部內容,相信(相當於一萬多頁打印的文字,超過30000 screenfuls ) ,同時也聖經,由此產生的宗教知識,將非常接近,對一個神的程度,從一個修道院!我們認識到,最人們不會用它徹底! But if you keep the downloadable BELIEVE program on your computer's hard drive, or keep a bookmark for this web-site in your browser, its information will be rapidly accessible, faster than you could find it in a reference book!但是,如果你經常下載的程式,相信在您的計算機硬盤上,或者保持一個書籤這個網站,在瀏覽器中,其信息將很快到達,速度比你能找到它在參考書!

The way both subject lists are set up encourages browsing. You or your kids might have 15 minutes available one day. 路都須受名單,設立鼓勵瀏覽。您或您的孩子可能有15分鐘時間可供一天。 You COULD play some computer game!你可以發揮一些電腦遊戲! But if BELIEVE is there, you might just as well decide to learn a little about Arminianism or about Evangelicalism. You don't need to commit a huge block of time to it (but you could!)但是,如果認為是有,你可能剛以及決定要學習一點arminianism或約evangelicalism 。您不必承擔巨額座的時間,它(但你可以! )

Even very devout Christians will probably find many unfamiliar terms in the list at right.即使是非常虔誠的基督徒可能會發現許多陌生的名詞名單上的權利。 Many Protestant Christians do not realize that many things like the above mentioned Arminianism probably contributed (in one way or another) in a substantial way in the development of the beliefs of the Church they attend!許多新教教徒都沒有意識到,很多事情一樣,上述arminianism可能貢獻(一種或另一種方式) ,在大幅方式,在發展的信念,教會他們出席! Very few Christians seem to know that nearly all modern Christian Churches are Semi-Sabbatarian!極少數的基督徒似乎知道幾乎所有現代基督教教會是半sabbatarian !


Other reasons for the existence of BELIEVE are:其他原因的存在, 相信是:
For Ministry 對於財政部
BELIEVE can be a useful source for when Pastors are assembling their Sermons. 相信可以成為一個有用的資料來源,因為當牧師正在組裝他們的布道。 Many of the topics include very comprehensive discussions, especially the Advanced articles.許多主題包括非常全面的討論,特別是先進的文章。
BELIEVE can also be helpful to Ministry when a Congregation member asks a question about an obscure subject.相信也能有所幫助的時候,財政部聚集議員問一個問題,一個不清楚的問題。 Refreshing that knowledge gained on Photius in Divinity School can be quickly done!令人耳目一新的說,所獲得的知識就photius在神學院可以迅速做!
For testifying to others 為證明他人
BELIEVE is a useful information source when you are about to testify to someone of another Faith. 相信這是一個有用的信息來源,當你正準備去證明某人的另一個信念。 Articles describing nearly all world belief systems are included.文章描述幾乎所有世界信仰體系均包括在內。 Knowing something about what a person presently believes will help you to intelligently comment on their beliefs, and then express the advantages of your belief system.知什麼人,目前認為,將有助於您聰明地評論自己的信念,然後快速的優點,你的信仰系統。 This can help develop respect and credibility in you and make YOUR presentation more acceptable.這可以幫助培養尊重和信譽,你,使你的演講更容易被接受。 Often, when Christians witness to others, they overlook why the person currently believes what he/she does, as though it is irrelevant, often because they know very little about that other belief system.很多時候,當基督徒見證了別人,它們忽略了,為何人,目前認為他/她,因為雖然這是不相干的,這往往是因為他們知道得很少,其他的信仰體系。 This often comes across as extremely insulting!這常常遇到極其侮辱! Here's a chance to improve the effect of your witnessing to others, by showing respect for them by intelligently discussing their current beliefs.這裡的一個機會,以改善效果,你看到別人,尊重他們的理智的討論,他們目前的信仰。
To confirm or deny a questionable comment made by a friend. 證實或否認有問題的評論作出的一個朋友。
Sometimes, you hear someone say something religious that just sounds weird!有時候,你聽到有人說一些宗教只是聽起來怪! Normally, you don't have quick access to reference books to research the topic, or you just don't want to invest hours tracking down such information. BELIEVE probably has useful information on that subject, available in just seconds.通常,你不用快速查閱參考書籍,以研究課題,或者你只是不希望投資時追查這些資料。 相信可能有有用的資料,在這個問題上,可在幾秒鐘。 Knowing this, you might be more likely to 'check it out!'明知這一點,你可能更容易'一下它!

BELIEVE was first placed on the Internet in the Spring of 1997.相信這是首次放在互聯網上,在1997年春天。 Since then, there have been an amazing number of visitors to our site!自那時起,有一個了不起的參觀人數我們的網站! It seems that most web-sites quickly brag about how much traffic comes to a site.看來,大多數的網站迅速地吹噓自己帶來多少流量來一幅。 Considering the content of this site, we feel that would be the wrong attitude.考慮到本網站的內容,我們覺得這將是一個錯誤的態度。 Large numbers are essentially irrelevant!大批基本上是不相干! Our interest is (hopefully!) always in each single visitor, with our efforts being to aid that person to better understand the Lord and religion and Christianity.我們的興趣是(希望如此) ,總是在每一個單一的遊客,與我們正在努力,以援助的人更好地了解上帝和宗教和基督教。 If a person is able to get closer to a point of better committing to God (and Jesus), then our efforts are successful!如果一個人能夠更貼近一點,更好地承擔神(耶穌) ,那麼我們的努力是成功的! So, as far as we are concerned, we have had ONE visitor, YOU!所以,就我們而言,我們曾經有過一個遊客,你! And, since you are important to God and Jesus, you are very important to us.而且,由於你是重要的上帝和耶穌,你是我們非常重要。 We think that's the attitude Jesus would want us to have!我們認為這是耶穌的態度,希望我們有機會!

Also, we realize that you might be interested in knowing more about the organization that created and operates BELIEVE.同時,我們意識到,你可能有興趣知道更多有關組織建立和運作,相信。 Our Church, A Christ Walk Church is a relatively normal Protestant Christian Church.我們的教會,基督步行教會是一個比較正常的基督教新教教會。 Our Statement of Faith is very similar to that of most Protestant Churches, although it might be more thoroughly presented!我們的聲明的信仰是很相似,即大部分的新教教會,儘管它可能獲得更徹底的陳述! The most noticeable difference between our Church and other Protestant Churches is our special focus on always trying to figure out what Jesus might have said or done in each situation, and then act and speak appropriately.最顯著的區別我們的教會和其他新教教會,是我們特別著重於總是試圖推算出耶穌可能說了或做了,在每一種情況,並採取行動,然後講妥善處理。 Basically, the result of this is that our Church seems to have much less dogma than many other Churches.基本上,結果就是我們的教會似乎已經大為減少教條比其他許多教堂。 Instead of applying any rigid formulation of response, we believe it is better to understand and respond to each situation of life individually.而不適用任何硬性制定的回應,我們相信這是能夠更好地理解和應對每一種情況的生命個體。 This statement should make the entire existence of BELIEVE a lot more logical, because it really fits in with the concept.這項聲明應使整個存在的,相信有很多更合乎邏輯的,因為它的確適合在與概念。 Each visitor is an individual, unlike anyone else.每位訪客,是一個個體,不像其他任何人。 It is our belief that if we provide sufficient accurate information, each visitor and his/her indwelling Holy Spirit will then be able to Discern the Truth for that person.這是我們的信念,即,如果我們提供足夠準確的信息,每位訪客和他/她留置聖靈屆時可看出真相,為那個人。 We have another presentation which may be of interest, where the basic Meaning of Christianity is presented, as understood by our Church, at http://mb-soft.com/public2/ourchris.html We have noticed that recently, bumperstickers are beginning to appear with "WWJD" (What Would Jesus Do?) on them.我們有另一次演講,其中可能感興趣的,那裡的基本含義,基督教是,理解我們的教會,在http://mb-soft.com/public2/ourchris.html我們注意到,近來, bumperstickers開始出現" wwjd " (什麼耶穌會做什麼呢? )對他們的影響。 We find that wonderful, very similar to what our Church has always tried to do and Teach.我們發現奇妙的,非常相似,我們的教會一直嘗試做的事,並教。

We are certainly not perfect, and neither is BELIEVE. In this vein, it probably makes sense for us to admit to a significant 'bias' that we know we have! 我們當然不是十全十美,二者缺一不可相信,在這種情況下,它很可能是有道理的,我們不得不承認有很大的'偏見' ,我們知道我們有! BELIEVE currently does NOT contain a presentation on "Collection Plate" or "Donation" or "Mammon" because we are not sure we could "fairly" present such a topic.相信目前並不包含關於"收集板"或"捐贈"或" mammon " ,因為我們不相信我們能"公平"的,目前這樣的一個話題。 We have somewhat unusual attitudes toward that subject!我們已經有點不尋常的態度,這一主題!

Shortly after the Editor of BELIEVE was Saved (at age 19), he was on vacation and attended a Church in Florida.不久,編輯相信獲救( 19歲) ,他是在度假,並參加了一所教堂在佛羅里達州。 "New" Christians are all especially enthusiastic, and that was true in this case. "新"的基督徒都特別熱情,而且是真實的,在這種情況下。 However, during an hour and a half Service, the Minister passed the Collection Plate FIVE times!不過,在一個半小時的服務,內政部長通過收集板的5倍! They each were for reasonably valid reasons: the normal Collection; a collection to repair the Church parking lot and driveway; a collection for a building project toward having a Sunday School; a collection for a guest Minister; and a collection for a Christian music group that played during the Service.他們每個人,為合理有效的,原因有二:正常採集;藏品修復教堂的停車場和車道;收集了一個建設項目的走向有一個週日學校;藏品為客戶部長職務,並收繳了基督教音樂集團這期間所發揮的服務。 However, collectively, the experience was offensive to the Editor.但是,作為一個集體,經驗是進攻給編輯。 Without being able to put a finger on exactly what was wrong, it just seemed like something was different from the way Jesus might have wanted it to be.而不能夠把手指上到底什麼是錯的,它看起來像某些事情是可以從不同的方式,耶穌有可能這樣做。

As a consequence of that experience, the Editor, and BELIEVE, have an intense attitude about keeping religious experience and learning as far as possible from money matters.由於這一經驗,幫助讀者了解和相信,有一個尖銳的態度,保持宗教體驗和學習,盡量從資金問題。 Clearly, each Church MUST pay mortgages and utility bills and the staff's wages, so money must necessarily be present in the operation of each Church.顯然,每一個教會必須支付抵押和電費和工作人員的工資,所以錢必須在目前的運作,每一個教堂。 But we have all seen examples where something has gone wrong and Ministry flies around in personal Learjets and rides around in chauffeured limousines.但我們都看到的例子,那裡的東西出了岔子,和內政部蒼蠅圍繞在個人learjets和遊戲機的周圍,在有司機的豪華轎車。 I guess our attitude is that we wish that the hour or two that we each share in the Lord's House each week, could be entirely focused on religious ideas, and that people would make their Offerings to their Churches without having to be "prodded" by the existence of a Collection Plate!我猜想我們的態度是:我們希望這兩個小時,我們每一股在主的房子,每星期可以完全集中於宗教觀念,人們將其服務範圍以掌握他們的教會而不必被" prodded "存在著一個收集板! But that's not realistic!但是這不是現實! We just hope that each Church uses good judgment (and consults their Holy Spirit!) regarding all subjects associated with money, in or out.我們只是希望每一個教會使用良好的判斷力(和徵詢他們的聖靈! )對於所有科目的相關款項,或調出。

We see this as a pretty significant bias, and so we didn't feel we could fairly present a page on the subject!我們認為這是一個非常顯著的偏見,所以我們並不覺得我們可以相當提交一項關於這一主題! There are many reasons why your local Church NEEDS the funds from the Collection, so please be generous to them.固然有很多原因,你的地方教會需要這些款項從收集的,所以請慷慨地給他們。


We have recently become aware of yet ANOTHER potential bias we might have!最近,我們意識到,但另一個潛在的偏見,我們可能有!

We receive enormous amounts of e-mail, and some of it is critical mail from other Protestant Clergy members.我們收到大量的電子郵件,以及一些重要的是郵件從其他新教教士成員。 In general, such mail attacks us for submitting our visitors to "wolves" ( Matt 7:15; Acts 20:29 ).一般來說,這些郵件攻擊,我們提出我們的旅客,以"狼群" ( 馬特7:15 ;行為, 20時29分 ) 。 Their position is that we should intensely and exclusively present OUR perspectives and beliefs on the many subjects included in BELIEVE, and we should NOT include "alternate" perspectives at all!他們的立場是,我們要在緊鑼密鼓,並專門介紹我們的觀點和信仰,對很多科目列入相信,我們不應包括"候補"的觀點在各! They believe that we introduce the possibility of confusion in our visitors by presenting various (seemingly credible) approaches on subjects that are centrally important to Faith.他們認為,我們引進的可能性混亂,在我們的旅客介紹了各種(看似可信)的辦法對課題是中央重要的信仰。 They believe that we commit outright sacrilege by openly presenting Catholic and Orthodox and other beliefs!他們認為,我們承諾買斷褻瀆,公然介紹天主教會和東正教會和其他信仰!

Well, they might be right about that, so we cannot defend our actions directly to them!那麼,他們可能是正確的話,所以我們不能捍衛我們的行動直接向他們! They often also tell us that we are destined for Hell as a result of this aspect of BELIEVE!他們還常常告訴我們,我們正準備運往地獄,因此這方面的相信! We hope that they are wrong about that!我們希望他們的想法是錯誤的!

We also receive a lot of mail applauding us for our "Ecumenical" approach!我們還獲得了許多的郵件,我們鼓掌,為我們的"合一"的做法!

We tend to think that neither is quite accurate, but for an apparently unusual reason!我們傾向於認為這兩者都不是很準確,但是對於一個顯然不尋常的原因! BELIEVE was created and is presented by our non-Denominational Protestant Christian Church, which is named A Christ Walk Church .相信這是創造,是由我們的非宗教的基督教新教教會,這是叫做基督步行教會 This appears to be important in this area.這個結果似乎是重要的這方面的人才。 Our Church has a special emphasis on Christian behavior along with all the standard Christian Teachings.我們的教會有一個特別強調基督教的行為 ,隨著各項標準的基督教教義。 We feel that Jesus demonstrated and discussed many "proper behaviors" in addition to the words of His Teachings.我們認為,耶穌表明,並討論了許多的"適當的行為" ,除了考慮的話,他的教誨。 As a consequence of this, our Church sees specific importance in the END RESULT of Christian Ministry, basically, the condition of the hearts of those who listen.正因為如此,我們的教會看到具體的重要性,在最終結果的基督教部,基本上,條件的心中那些聽。 In our view, virtually the ONLY essential question at the end is "Is your heart Devoutly committed to the Lord?"在我們看來,幾乎是唯一重要的問題,在年底前,是"是你的心虔誠致力於主" ? We believe that that is the single question Jesus would be interested in, at the point someone is at the Gates of Heaven.我們認為這是唯一的問題,耶穌會感興趣,在這一點有人在家門口的天堂。 We see that as logical, and our Ministry sees ALL Ministry in that light.我們認為這是合乎邏輯的,我部將所有部根據這一點。 Of course, we want to believe that our methods of Teaching are valid, but we recognize that there might be many other ways a person's heart might be brought to Devotion in the Lord.當然,我們願意相信,我們的教學方法是有效的,但我們認識到,有可能被許多其他方式一個人的心臟可能會被繩之以法的努力,在上主。

We have a "quiz" for you!我們有一個"問答"對你們! Virtually all Christians confidently feel that they are "IN" once they are Saved.幾乎所有基督徒信心十足地認為自己是"中" ,一旦他們得救。 We think that some may be being "optimistic" about this!我們認為有些可能會被"樂觀"這個! Try this: As a mental exercise, in private, list ten times when you have let the Lord down!試試這個:作為一個精神運動,在私營,名單上的10倍時,你有讓上帝! Many Christians laugh at this, commenting that they fall short thousands of times, but this exercise is more challenging than you might think.許多基督徒嘲笑這一點,他評論說,他們屬於短幾千倍,但這項工作更具挑戰性比你可能會認為。 Just remember that you are considering the Lord, so consider your "standards".只是記住,你正考慮主,所以考慮你的"標準" 。

A person might THINK that he/she is devout, but without an awareness of the many times we humans fall short, there seems the likelihood of a non-Christian arrogance.一個人或許會認為他/她是虔誠的,但沒有一個認識的許多倍,我們人類屬於短,似乎有可能性的一個非基督教的囂張氣焰。 We think that awareness of a personal list of ten examples of shortcomings would confirm the status of that person's heart.我們認為,認識個人的名單, 10個例子的缺點,將確認地位的那人的心。 The 'scale' of those incidents would likely vary greatly from individual to individual, and it would remain a private matter between that person and the Lord. '大規模'這些事件可能會相差很大,從個別到個別的,它仍然是一個私人之間的事,那人,並主。

The point of this exercise is that if you manage to think of ten different specific times you let the Lord down, you're probably on the right track.這一點,此次演習的是,如果你設法想出10種不同的具體時間,你讓主下來,你可能在正確的軌道上。 If you cannot think of any, or struggle to think of a couple, you might want to consider putting more effort into your Faith!如果你看不到有什麼,或掙扎想,一對夫婦,你也許要考慮把更多精力你們的信仰!

Our critics disagree!我們的批評者不同意! They feel that a Soul will be evaluated by the adherence to a whole variety of requirements.他們認為,一個民族的靈魂,將評估所堅持整體的各種要求。 Each Church seems to Teach its own list of just what those requirements are.每一個教會,似乎要教導自己的名單,只是那些要求。 Many then absolutely insist that ONLY their Church knows the "correct" Teachings, and therefore that ONLY their members could ever enter Heaven.許多當時絕對堅持認為,只有其教會知道, "正確"的教導,因此,只有他們的成員都不能進入天堂。 A recent series of communications with such a Protestant Pastor somewhat astounded me when he unequivocally stated that NO Catholic EVER in history has EVER gotten into Heaven!最近一系列的通信這樣的一個新教牧師有點震驚,我的時候,他明確指出,沒有天主教有史以來從未獲得進入天堂! His Denomination has a few hundred thousand members, and he and the other Ministers in that Denomination Teach that only they could ever enter Heaven.他的面額有幾十萬的成員,他和其他部長們在這面額教授說,只有他們才能夠進入天堂。 When I pointed out that there are currently nearly a BILLION Catholics, and that many are VERY Devout, he said it was sad that so many people were so misled!當我指出,目前還有將近10億天主教徒,而且許多都是很虔誠的,他說,這是很可悲的,所以很多人都這麼誤導! When I mentioned remarkably Devout Catholic Saints, such as Saint Augustine, Saint Benedict, Saint Teresa of Avila, and Saint Dominic, he again absolutely insisted that they are all in Hell, because they followed the "wolves".當我提到顯著虔誠的天主教聖人,如聖奧古斯丁,聖本篤,聖德肋撒的阿維拉,以及聖星後,他又絕對堅持說,它們都在地獄,因為他們遵循了"狼群" 。

Of course, he might be right!當然,他可能是正確的! We have no absolute way of proving him wrong!我們沒有絕對的方式證明他是錯的! And, if Jesus really DOES run Heaven where many strict "rules of admission" are applied, then, yes, most of us will be "out of luck" in happening to have chosen the "wrong" Church to attend.以及,如果耶穌真的運行天堂,有許多嚴格的"規則的入學"申請,那麼,是的,而我們大多數人都將"走出運氣"的情況有選擇的"錯誤"教堂出席。

We see two major problems in that situation.我們看到兩個大問題,在這種情況下。 First, it seems to imply that Jesus is rather "legalistic" in who is allowed into Heaven, and we know from when He was with us that He was violently against the Jews for being legalistic in applying the "Law" of the Old Testament (example: Luke 13:14 ).首先,它似乎暗示耶穌是,而不是"法律性" ,誰是獲准進入天堂,而且我們知道從什麼時候,他跟我們說,他被粗暴地反對猶太人被法律性,運用"法律"的舊約(例如: 路加福音13時14分 ) 。 Second, and, we think, even more importantly, is another implication regarding Jesus.第二,我們認為,更重要的,是另一個含意關於耶穌。 We all believe that Jesus IS Love and Compassion, essentially the very definition of the words!大家都相信耶穌是愛心和同情心,基本上非常一詞的定義! So, our Church, with its special focus on behavioral issues, asks "Would a Compassionate Jesus participate in a Heaven where extremely Devout people who spent a lifetime committed to Him would be denied entry to Heaven?"所以,我們的教會,它特別注重對行為問題,要求" ,將一個富有同情心的耶穌參加一個天堂那裡非常虔誠的人,一輩子承諾他將無法進入天國" ? Our emphatic response is that He wouldn't and couldn't.我們強調的回應是,他不會也不能。

Yes, we Teach the Two Protestant Sacraments, and we Teach that Good Works spring FROM Christian Faith rather than being necessary to it, and we Baptize and have the other common beliefs of many Protestant Churches.是的,我們教兩個新教聖禮,並教導我們說,好的作品春天從基督教信仰,而不是被需要它,我們baptize並有其他共同的信念,許多新教教堂。 But we think it would be very arrogant (therefore, non-Christian) to claim that WE alone knew how to prepare individuals for the Presence of the Lord.但我們認為,這會是很傲慢, (因此,非基督教) ,聲稱只有我們知道如何準備個人,為在場的上主。 Therefore, we openly applaud ALL Churches that attempt to prepare the hearts of their followers for profound Devotion to the Lord, even when they follow methods which we might not agree with.因此,我們公開讚揚所有的教堂,企圖準備的心及其追隨者進行深刻的奉獻給上帝,甚至當他們遵循的方法,我們可能不會同意。

We do not have ANY good explanation as to how the Lord deals with this diversity in Heaven, only that, because of His Compassion, He does!我們並沒有什麼好說明如何在主處理這種多樣性在天堂,不但如此,是因為他的同情心,他並不! So, a Devout Catholic, who was Taught a central importance in doing Good Works as a condition for Salvation (which we Protestants think is very wrong!) would still be welcomed with a Smile into Heaven, whether or not we understand why!所以,作為一名虔誠的天主教徒,他們是給了中央重視,在做好工程的一個條件救贖(我們新教徒認為是非常錯誤的! ) ,將仍然受到歡迎,以微笑進入天堂,我們是否明白為什麼! Any other result would seem to imply a Lord whose Compassion is not what we want to believe it is.任何其他的結果,似乎也暗示了上帝的憐憫,是不是我們所願意相信,答案是肯定的。

Our conclusion from all this is that, prior to committing one's life to the Lord, a person may freely visit various Houses of Worship.我們得出的結論是,從所有這一切的是,前犯下一個人的生活,向上帝禱告,任何人都可以自由訪問各種房子的崇拜。 Consider the deeper meaning of Baptism.考慮到深層次的含義的洗禮。 Who did you intend to affect by being Baptized?誰做,你打算和影響被洗禮? We hope it was not for friends or family or a Church leadership.我們希望它不是為朋友或家人或教會領導。 Our hope is that you (possibly even privately) became Saved (actually, we see that as being Baptized by the Spirit), committed to the Lord, and then were publicly (water) Baptized for only one purpose: To tell the Lord, "I am Yours, and I will forever demonstrate my Devotion TO YOU by strictly following the Rites and beliefs of THIS (your) Church."我們的希望就是,你(甚至私下) ,成為拯救(其實,我們看到,作為被洗禮的精神) ,致力於向上帝禱告,然後再進行公開(水)受洗為目的只有一個:告訴主, "我和你,我永遠都會證明我的奉獻給你嚴格按照儀軌和信仰今(你的)教會" 。 As of that moment, each believer has the strict responsibility to follow THAT Church.截止到那個時候,每一個信仰者有責任嚴格遵循該教堂。 You have essentially told the Lord "Judge me by THIS standard."你有本質上說,上帝"法官對我的這一標準" 。 There is NO leeway.有沒有迴旋餘地。 No room for interpretation on your part!沒有空間的詮釋你的一部分! If you happened to have chosen a Church that requires you to ask "How high?"如果你碰巧選擇了一個教會需要你來問"到底有多高" ? when it tells you to jump, then you MUST, not for the Church, but to keep demonstrating to the Lord your total Obedience to Him.當它告訴你要跳樓,那你就要,而不是對於教會來說,只能不斷地向市民展示耶和華你總以服從他。 Just because a Church down the block does not require jumping, you have NO room to complain, and just better get good at jumping!只是因為一所教堂下來塊並不需要跳躍,沒有你的房間抱怨,而只是聊得到善於跳躍! Your Personal Promise to the Lord is on the line!你個人的承諾,向上帝禱告,是該線!

From the moment you are Baptized, IN A SPECIFIC CHURCH, then ONLY that Church's Christian Rites and beliefs have real meaning for you.從時刻,你是洗禮,在一個特定的教會,那只是教會的基督教儀式和信仰具有真正的意義,為你。 Hopefully, your Church has valid beliefs and Rites.但願,你教會了有效的信仰和儀式。 Beliefs and procedures in some other Church may be VERY different, and they may even seem incompatible with what you must follow.信仰和程序,在其他一些教會可能會很不同,而且他們甚至可能似乎不符合什麼你就得跟著。 FOR YOU, it is irrelevant what the Christians in those other Churches must do. However, you should encourage them to be very Devout in their following of their own Church's Rites and beliefs. At the moment they were Baptized in those Churches, they made their own solemn Promise to the Lord to forever demonstrate their Faith to Him.對你來說,這是不相干的什麼基督徒在這些其他教會必須做的,但你應鼓勵他們很虔誠,在他們之後他們自己的教會的禮儀和信仰。目前,他們的洗禮,在這些教會,他們作出了自己的自己的莊嚴承諾,向上帝禱告,永遠展示了他們的信仰給他。 (The exception to this are clearly aberrant groups that claim to be Churches.) (例外情況,這顯然是不正常的團體自稱為教會) 。

Some people have expressed concern about this regarding what would happen if they move or otherwise decide to attend a different Church, that these comments might seem to suggest that Salvation or Baptism would no longer have effect!有些人表示關注,這方面會發生什麼事,如果他們遷出或以其他方式決定參加一個不同的教會,這些評論似乎暗示救贖或洗禮,將不再具有效力! No, that is not the concept we tried to describe here!不,這不是概念,我們試圖描述這裡! We believe that in those situations, a simple and private conversation with the Lord would inform Him that you now need to be evaluated by the new set of rules and behaviors of the new Church.我們相信,在這些情況下,一個簡單而私人談話,主必不告訴他,你現在需要加以評估,由一套新的規則和行為模式的新教堂。

We might have another possible analogy to use here.我們可能有另一種可能的比喻用在這裡。 When one gets married, one makes certainly commitments to another person, and we even then say "forever".當一個人結婚,有人冒充專利肯定承諾給另一個人,我們甚至然後說: "永遠" 。 However, there are some individuals that either immediately or later start thinking and behaving as though they had never made such a commitment, that they are somehow free to be "making up their own rules" to follow.但是,也有一些個人,要么馬上或稍後開始思考和行為,因為儘管他們從來沒有作出這樣的承諾,即他們是有點自由"作出了自己的規則"的跟隨。 That is clearly unacceptable.這顯然是不可接受的。 We feel that it is critically important that a person not have the freedom to "decide what rules must be followed regarding the Lord."我們覺得這是一個極為重要的是,一個人不能有自由"決定哪些規則必須遵循有關主" 。 So we insist that the existing set of rules regarding behaviors and attitudes of an existing Church be followed instead.因此,我們堅持認為,現行的一套規則對於行為和態度的一個現有的教堂之後,而不是。

So, that is our concept, and our ONLY defense to those attackers who criticize us for being in league with the wolves!所以,這就是我們的理念,和我們唯一的防禦這些攻擊者批評我們正處於聯賽與狼! Many have directly implied that we might as well buy shovels now, as we will spend Eternity stoking the furnaces in Hell!很多都直接暗示,倒不如買鐵鍬現在,我們會用永恆爐灶熔爐在地獄! And, again, we have no absolute way of knowing or proving that they are wrong, except our Faith in what WE believe the Lord to be, and that He IS Love and Compassion.並重申,我們都沒有絕對的辦法了解,或證明他們是錯的,除非我們的信念是什麼,我們相信主,而且他的是愛和同情心。

These few paragraphs might sound like a "commercial" on our part.這幾個段落聽起來像一個"商業"就我們而言。 They are not intended as such.他們不打算這樣。 But, we have received a number of such criticisms, and felt it necessary to allow readers to know both about the criticisms and our reasons for BELIEVE being the very "open" form that it is.但是,我們已收到不少這樣的批評,並認為有必要讓讀者知道雙方關於批評和我們的理由相信,作為非常"開放"的形式,它是。 In the event that this represents a 'bias' we felt you should know about it!在發生這是一個'偏見' ,我們覺得你應該知道它!

One final comment about the "confusion" we might be causing and / or the "wolves" business: Another central belief of our Church is that the Holy Spirit is RIGHT THERE with EVERY visitor to BELIEVE, whether Christian, Seeker, or skeptic.最後一點評論關於"混亂" ,我們可能會造成和/或"狼群"業務:另一個中心信念,我們的教會是聖靈,是正確的,有與每一位參觀者認為,無論是基督徒,導引,或表示置疑。 Our belief is that that Holy Spirit will give guidance to each individual visitor, regarding the discernment of Truth.我們的信念是認為聖靈會給予指導,以每個遊客,就鑑別力的真理。 Therefore, we believe that, when we present various Christian scholars' broadly accepted views on our many subjects, the Holy Spirit will lead each visitor in finding the "correct" one for that person.因此,我們相信,當我們提出各種基督教學者廣泛接受的意見,對我們的很多科目,聖靈會導致每位訪客在尋找"正確"一說的人。 This is why we don't have reservations about presenting positions that our Church happens to not agree with, and why we feel we can present such views fairly and honestly.這就是為什麼我們沒有保留,介紹崗位,我們的教會剛好不同意,因此,我們覺得我們可以提出這種意見,公平及誠實。 And, as a responsibility to Jesus, we feel we are REQUIRED to do so! ,並作為一種責任,以耶穌,我們覺得我們必須這樣做!

So, if you should find anything in BELIEVE that appears to disagree with the Teachings of your Church, we recommend relying on those Teachings first, but possibly asking informed questions at the right time and in the right place.因此,如果你要尋找什麼,相信這似乎是不同意的遺訓,你們教會工作,我們建議,依靠這些教義第一,但也可能要求知情的問題,在適當的時間和正確的地方。 They probably have EXCELLENT reasons for their beliefs and Teachings!他們很可能有極好的理由,他們的信仰和教義!

Now, whether our approach represents an "Ecumenical" perspective, we do not know.現在,無論是我們的做法是一個"合一"的角度來看,我們不知道。 The result is similar, of a tolerance and acceptance of other Churches, but we see it as being for a rather different reason than most Ecumenical efforts are initiated.結果是相似的,一個包容和接納的其他教會,但我們把它看作是正在為一個相當不同的理由比大多數合一的努力,展開了。 And we don't see need for "conformance" to some common set of beliefs, but rather a recognition that the Lord Smiles on ALL of the diversity of Christian approaches.我們看不出有必要"順應" ,以一些一套共同的信仰,而是一種認識認為,主笑著對所有的多樣性基督教辦法。 We acknowledge that God's Plan for us is far beyond our capability to completely understand.我們承認上帝的計劃為我們的是遠遠超出了我們的能力,完全理解。

Our impression is that Churches generally concentrate on the specific "means" toward becoming a Christian and we tend to concentrate more on the "end" of actually BEING a Devout Christian.我們的印象是,教會普遍集中於特定的" ,就是"走向成為一個基督徒,我們往往更專注於"世界末日"的,其實就是一個虔誠的基督徒。 We don't see that it means we disagree, but just that we do not see cause to argue among Churches in how they each accomplish it!我們看不到它意味著我們不同意,而只是說,我們看不到事業爭論當中,在教會他們如何互相完成它! Actually, we tend to see value in WHATEVER a Church feels it needs to do to prepare the hearts of its Congregation members, so we are actually a fan of (nearly) all of them!其實,我們往往看到的價值,無論在一所教堂覺得有必要做準備的心聖堂成員,所以我們實際上是一個扇(近) ,他們所有人!


We have a page with additional comments on our "simple" Christian Church and beliefs.我們有一個頁面,補充意見對我們的"簡單"的基督教教會和信仰。



BELIEVE also includes thorough and fair presentations of all of the other major belief systems of the world. 相信還包括徹底和公正的介紹,所有的其他主要信仰體系對世界的看法。 Again thinking of how Jesus might treat such subjects, we think that He would be open and honest, having Faith that Christianity can "hold its own" when honest and complete information is available about all options.再次思考如何耶穌可能對待這類問題,我們認為他會公開和誠實的,有信仰基督教的就可以"自己的"當誠實和完整的資料,以供有關的所有選項。 We do not think that He would have been "secretive" in avoiding discussing other religions and their good and bad points.我們不認為他會一直"守口如瓶" ,避免談論其他宗教和他們有好有壞。 Therefore, we try to follow His lead in BELIEVE.因此,我們試圖跟隨他的帶頭相信。 We put those subjects down at the bottom of the list, separate from the Christian subjects.我們把這些課題下來,在清單的底部,如果脫離基督教科目。

You probably consider yourself to be one of the "children of God", don't you?也許你會考慮自己的一個"孩子的上帝" ,你難道不? More than that, a child of the One, True God, Whom Abraham worshipped and who communicated with Moses to provide us with what we commonly call the Ten Commandments?更有什者,孩子的一個,真神,亞伯拉罕的人崇拜和人溝通,摩西為我們提供什麼,我們俗稱十誡? There are a LOT of people who would make those statements!有很多人會做出那些聲明! Protestant Christians carefully study the Bible (Old Testament and New Testament) to learn how to Worship Him.新教教徒仔細研究聖經(舊約和新約聖經) ,以了解如何崇拜他。 Catholic Christians use a combination of the Bible and Traditions to do the same.天主教教徒使用相結合的聖經和傳統,也能這樣做。 Jews use only the Old Testament, which they call the Torah, in order to know how to Worship God.猶太人只能使用舊約,而他們所謂的律法,以了解如何崇拜上帝。 Muslims use a combination of that same Old Testament, which they call Taurah, along with their Koran, to learn how to Worship the very same God, Whom they call Allah.穆斯林使用相結合,同舊約,他們稱之為taurah ,並附上自己的古蘭經,以了解如何崇拜相同的上帝,他們稱這些人是真主。 All of these people consider themselves to be "children of God", the One God of Abraham.所有這些人都認為自己"的孩子神" ,一個亞伯拉罕的神。 Interesting?有意思嗎?

Actually, we suspect that many Christians will be amazed to find that Muslims' Holy Koran tells the stories of Adam and Abraham and Israel and Moses and many others on whom our Faith is based.事實上,我們懷疑很多基督徒會驚訝地發現,穆斯林古蘭經講述的故事,亞當和亞伯拉罕和以色列的摩西和許多其他的人,我們的信仰基礎。 It seems that few Christians realize that their Allah is One and the Same God as Who the Jews call YHWH (Yahweh, or Jehovah) and Whom we Christians call Father.似乎沒有什麼基督教徒認識到他們的安拉是同一個上帝誰是猶太人呼籲yhwh (雅威,或耶和華) ,其中我們基督徒呼籲父親。 Certainly, their stories have differences from our Bible, but the many similarities are something to consider!當然,他們的故事有區別,我們的聖經,但在很多地方相似,是考慮! Again, we know that Jesus would be absolutely confident that Christians would not have their Faith weakened by learning about such things, but it might assist all of us to learn to get along better together.再次,我們知道,耶穌會絕對有信心的基督徒就無法擁有自己的信仰削弱了學習這些事情,但它可能有助於我們所有人都必須學會相處,更好地合作。

Actually, we note that God originally forbade anyone to even say His Name!實際上,我們注意到,神原本不容許任何人,甚至說他的名字! It would probably be extremely healthy if we did that today.它可能是極為健康的,如果我們沒有今天這樣深刻。 A Christian would then say that he/she Worships "the One, True God of Abraham, Moses and Adam."一個基督教會,然後說他/她崇拜的"一個真正的上帝的亞伯拉罕,摩西與亞當" 。 Which is EXACTLY the same thing that Jews and Muslims would say!這是完全一樣的東西,猶太人和穆斯林會說! The later appearance of that One True God walking the Earth as Jesus, tends to cause massive confusion, both in many Christians and in most non-Christians.後來出現的一個真實的上帝散步地球耶穌,往往會造成大規模的混亂,無論是在許多基督教徒,而且在大多數的非基督徒。 Many Christians are so focused on Jesus that they forget that the First Commandment made very clear that there is actually One True God, which Jesus therefore has to also be!很多基督徒是如此專注於基督耶穌說,他們忘記了這首誡命提出了非常明確的表示,其實是有一的真神,耶穌,所以也能夠! Non-Christians (Jews and Muslims) are more focused on Moses' Ten Commandments and therefore concentrate on the "One True God" aspect and think that Christians are Worshipping "somebody else" and therefore, very properly, find error in that as seeming to conflict with the First Commandment.非基督徒(猶太人和穆斯林)更加專注於摩西十誡,因此專注於"一的真神"的一面,認為基督徒崇拜"別人" ,所以很妥當,尋找錯誤,由於似乎準備衝突與第一誡。

On this point, the Koran and Islam hold Jesus in very high esteem, considering Him a Prophet, and even expecting Him to some day Return!就這點來說,可蘭經和伊斯蘭教舉行耶穌在非常高的自尊心,考慮到他的先知,甚至期待著他有一天歸來! It is our suspicion that Muhammad (the initiator of Islam) misunderstood the Christian concept of the Trinity.這是我們懷疑穆罕默德(發起者伊斯蘭教)誤解了基督教的概念,三位一體。 At several places in their Koran, there are statements that clearly indicate that Muhammad thought that Christians considered Jesus to be a SECOND God, and Muhammad aggressively defended the First Commandment statement that there is One True God (which all Muslims repeat at least five times every single day).在幾個地方,在他們的可蘭經,有陳述清楚地表明穆罕默德認為,基督徒認為是耶穌是第二個上帝,穆罕默德積極地捍衛了第一誡聲明說,有一個真實的上帝 (即所有的穆斯林至少重複5次,每單日) 。 It is our suspicion that if Muhammad had fully understood the concept of the Trinity (One God), he would have realized that the One True God had Chosen to walk the earth six hundred years earlier as Jesus!這是我們的猜疑說,如果穆罕默德已充分理解的概念,三位一體(一神) ,他會認識到一個真實的上帝選擇了在地球上行走六百年較早耶穌! With that adjustment, Christianity and Islam become surprisingly similar in basic beliefs!這一調整,基督教和伊斯蘭教,成為驚人的相似,在基本信仰!

Their belief system seems to have a number of errors in it regarding Christianity, such as the impression that the Christian Trinity is Father, Jesus, and the Virgin Mary!他們的信仰系統,似乎確有不少錯誤,在這方面,基督教等印象,即基督教三一是父,耶穌,聖母瑪利亞! (Koran Sura 5.116) This is interesting, since Muslims believe that every word of the Koran is precisely accurate because it came directly from God (Allah) to Muhammad. (古蘭經蘇拉5.116 ) ,這是有趣的,因為穆斯林認為,每一個字的可蘭經,正是準確的,因為它直接來自上帝(真主) ,以穆罕默德。 Our point is that it is not nearly as "foreign" as many people think.我們的出發點在於,它不是近作為"外資" ,因為很多人的想法。

While we're on this tangent, we'd like to ask Christian readers why Muslims insist on facing Mecca for all their prayers!同時,我們正在就這一切線,我們想問問基督教讀者為什麼穆斯林堅持面向麥加他們所有的祈禱! Do you know?你知不知道? It's because of a single thing, a building in Mecca, called the Kaaba.那是因為一個單一的東西,大樓在麥加,被稱為天房。 Muslims believe that Abraham (yup, OUR Abraham!) built the Kaaba, and they recognize Abraham as being the very first "true" believer, because he was willing to sacrifice his own son for the Lord.穆斯林認為亞伯拉罕( yup ,我們的亞伯拉罕! )修建了天房的,他們認識到亞伯拉罕被稱為是第一個"真實"的信仰者,因為他是願意犧牲自己的兒子為主。 We find that interesting!我們覺得有趣! Each person is free to interpret such things however they wish!每個人都有自由解釋這些事情,但他們希望!
