福音的信息不应被同性婚姻和堕胎等议题所困住了
这正是西方liberal left 的诡计,将全部基督徒都放到右翼一边,并且误导社会使人认为基督教的信息就只剩下反对同性婚姻和反堕胎。福音的信息和它对人类的含义远远不止这两点,而且中心也不在这两点。世人是否能够从我们的生命见证看到福音的含义,就要靠我们,要有勇气行出和说出真理。不要怕其他给你贴标签,而应该耐心的在社会不同的岗位上活出和说出信仰。

非自由的自由主义:支持传统婚姻就是老顽固
对支持传统婚姻者的态度这五年来有急速的变化,以前这些人的观点是正常不过的事,但现在他们是离经叛道,是反自由主潮流,是不能容忍的人渣。所受的压力,就算200年前没有宗教的人士生活中基督徒社会中所经验的,也远远比不上。这是西方的文化大革命了。

同性婚姻应该由精英拍板还是顺应民意?
西方的政客、律师、technocracs 、学者等当然认为这是他们的权利,就像刚发生的希腊财政困扰,希腊总理将财务危机的决定权交给人民投票,在欧联精英中被视为大逆不道的事。在美国,律师为整个国家决定了,不管他们的理据是怎样离开历史的解释。在英国,由政客决定了。现在到了澳洲,保守的政府却希望由人民投票表决,原因也简单,他们有很多的议席上次大选从反对党赢过来的,而选区中移民、天主教、东正教和回教徒等选民有决定性的影响。得罪了这一批选民,下次的政府就没有机会了。西方progressive 的精英,走的路线不只越来越怪,而且越来越专制。

请看看高等法院9个人中其中比较中肯的评论:
Judges are selected precisely for their skill as lawyers; whether they reflect the policy views of a particular constituency is not (or should not be) relevant. Not surprisingly then, the Federal Judiciary is hardly a cross-section of America. Take, for example, this Court, which consists of only nine men and women, all of them successful lawyers who studied at Harvard or Yale Law School. Four of the nine are natives of New York City. Eight of them grew up in east- and west-coast States. Only one hails from the vast expanse in-between. Not a single Southwesterner or even, to tell the truth, a genuine Westerner (California does not count). Not a single evangelical Christian (a group that comprises about one quarter of Americans), or even a Protestant of any denomination. The strikingly unrepresentative character of the body voting on today’s social upheaval would be irrelevant if they were functioning as judges, answering the legal question whether the American people had ever ratified a constitutional provision that was understood to proscribe the traditional definition of marriage. But of course the Justices in today’s majority are not voting on that basis; they say they are not. And to allow the policy question of same-sex marriage to be considered and resolved by a select, patrician, highly unrepresentative panel of nine is to violate a principle even more fundamental than no taxation without representation: no social transformation without representation… - See more at: http://www.mercatornet.com/conjugality/view/scalia-on-same-sex-marriage

神必按公义治理天下
自启蒙运动以来,人的骄傲渐渐高升,对人的能力看得很高,认为只要使用人类理性的力量,以累积下来的科技知识,我们能够发挥我们的意志,有一天不单能够将人类种种的人性弱点格除掉,并且能够在地上建立乌托邦,和掌控世界甚至宇宙。但政治上,上两个世纪我们看到了帝国主义的扩张,最后引起两次大战,另外又有法西斯主义等独裁思想出现。在文化上,极端的科学主义使人类的知识变得贫乏,甚至使人生变得虚无,因为人生的价值都在严格的科学主义中变得没有根基,彻底的理性怀疑态度使生命中好多个层面的经验和价值变得不真实。然而在这种所谓进步的意识形态中,西方并没有彻底反思启蒙运动本身的问题,还倒过来继续以这种过度的自信推动社会改革,使西方社会逐渐离开以基督教价值和精神建立的传统。上世纪60年代以来的个人主义,性革命,神死哲学,堕胎合法化,女权主义,到最近的同性婚姻(不是同性恋合法化,这早已合法了),和gender/sex 完全割离,等等的运动,承载着西方社会,向一个不可知的未来世界流去。而在这条船上24小时不断的开着party,而内中播放的音乐,是进步和人权;手中喝着的,是使人醉昏昏的自傲。
我还记得索尹尼辛的书古拉格群岛的扉页抄录了一句俄国谚语:“我们若忘记过去,就等于瞎了双眼。”
圣经也提醒我们,宇宙的创造者才是世界和历史的掌权者(诗篇 75):
神啊!我们称谢你,我们称谢你,
我还记得索尹尼辛的书古拉格群岛的扉页抄录了一句俄国谚语:“我们若忘记过去,就等于瞎了双眼。”
圣经也提醒我们,宇宙的创造者才是世界和历史的掌权者(诗篇 75):
神啊!我们称谢你,我们称谢你,
因为你接近人,
人都述说你奇妙的作为。
2 你说:“我选定了日期,
我要按公正施行审判。
3 地和地上的居民都因惧怕而融化,
我却使大地的柱子坚立。
4 我对狂傲的人说:‘不要行事狂傲’;
对邪恶的人说:‘不要举角,
5 不要高举你们的角,
不要挺着傲慢的颈项说话。’”
6 高升不是从东面来,不是从西面来,
也不是旷野来,
7 而是由 神来决定;
他使这人降卑,使那人升高。
8 原来耶和华的手里有杯,
装满了起沫和混杂各种香料的酒;
他把酒从杯里倒出来,地上所有的恶人都必定要喝,
甚至连酒的渣滓都要喝尽。
9 至于我,我要永远传扬,
我要向雅各的 神歌唱。
10 所有恶人的角,我都要砍断,
只有义人的角必被高举。
