Papal infallibility is the dogma in Catholic theology that, by action of the
Holy Spirit, the Pope is preserved from even the possibility of error[1]
when he solemnly declares or promulgates to the universal Church a dogmatic
teaching on faith or morals as being contained in divine revelation, or at
least being intimately connected to divine revelation.

The second century brought with it a steady growth of Gentile Christianity,

opposition marked by a twisting of "apostolic teaching." This led the early
Christian leadership to further develop creeds and formulas as a way to

发帖数: 10018 | 17 西方神学的新导向：Theosis「人成为神」—
东正教神学所持守的救恩论，西方神学研究的新方向
王生台
摘要
为早期教父们所传讲的成神（或神化）救恩论，是教父亚他那修用来打击亚流异端的关
键之一：因为众人，连亚流都相信，得救恩就是要成为神；如果耶稣基督不是神，那么
连他自己都需要得救恩而成神，怎能将救恩带给我们人呢？然而这成神论于过去的十几
个世纪，仅被西方与华人基督教所隔离的东正教保存着。而一般人都认为西方神学的主
流早已不谈成神的救恩论了。
但从一九七○年以来，于北欧所掀起的一连串神学研究，西方神学家发现，似乎由东方
神学一直保存的Theosis「人成为神」之思想，其实一直以隐藏的方式被西方神学家所
注重。他们指出：于奥古斯丁、阿奎那、路德、加尔文、圣公会、卫理宗、约拿单爱德
华、C. S. 鲁易士等西方神学家的着作中，「神化」这名词虽然没有频繁地出现，这思
想却一直存在着，而且「神化」救恩论将上述这些人士的神学思想连贯了起来。
本文简介过去三十多年来西方神学对『神化』的研究书籍，由这些雨后春笋般的出版，
我们察觉西方神学家正对这救恩目的的真理展开一个新的研究方向。

death we all died. None of us can progress spiritually without seeing this.
Just as we cannot have justification if we have not seen Him bearing our
sins on the Cross, so we cannot have sanctification if we have not seen Him
bearing us on the Cross. Not only have our sins been laid on Him but we
our... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 5754 | 44 chapter 4.4 Abiding In Him
Now although we have already spent long on this matter, there is a further
thing that may help to make it clearer to us. the Scriptures declare that we
are “dead indeed”, but nowhere do they say that we are dead in ourselves.
We shall look in vain to find death within; that is just the place where it
is not to be found. We are dead not in ourselves but in Christ. We were
crucified with Him because we were in Him.
We are familiar with the words of the Lord Jesus, “Abide... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 5754 | 45 chapter 5.3 Resurrection Unto Newness Of Life
"If we have become united with him by the likeness of his death, we
shall be also be the likeness of his resurrection (Rom. 6:5).
Now with resurrection the figure is different because something new is
introduced. I am "baptized into his death", but I do not enter in quite
the same way into His resurrection, for, Praise the Lord! His
resurrection enters into me, imparting to me a new life. In the death
of the Lord the emphasis is ... 阅读全帖 |

But how could God’s only begotten Son become His first begotten? The method
is explained in John 12:24: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a
grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but
if it die, it beareth much fruit.” Who was that grain? It was the Lord
Jesus. In the whole universe God had only one ‘grain of wheat’; He had no
second grain. God put His one grain of wheat into the ground and it died,
and in resurrection the only... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 5754 | 47 chapter 7.5 He That Hath The Son Hath The Life
There are various planes of life. Human life lies between the life of the
lower animals and the life of God. We cannot bridge the gulf that divides us
from the plane above or the plane below, and the distance that separates us
from the life of God is vastly greater than that which separates us from
the life of the lower animals.

whom, for the sake of this story, I shall call ‘M... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 5754 | 48 chapter 8.3 The Diversity Of The Experience
But you ask: How shall I know that the Holy Spirit is come upon me?' I
cannot tell how you will know, but you will know. No description has
been given us of the personal sensations and emotions of the disciples
at Pentecost. We do not know exactly how they felt, but we do know that
their feelings and behaviour were somewhat abnormal, because people
seeing them said they were intoxicated. When the Holy Spirit falls upon
God's people... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 5754 | 49 chapter 8.4 The Spirit Indwelling
We move on now to the second aspect of the gift of the Holy Spirit, which,
as we shall see in our next chapter, is more particularly the subject of
Romans 8. It is that which we have spoken of as the Spirit indwelling. “If
so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you...” (Romans 8:9). As with the
Spirit outpoured, so with the Spirit indwelling, if we are to know in
experience that which is ours in fact, our first need is of Divine
revelation. When we see Christ ... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 5754 | 50 chapter 11.3 The Love Of Christ
Now we must have before us two passages of the Word, one from Genesis 2 and
one from Ephesians 5, which are of great importance in this connection.
“And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept;
and he took one of his ribs, which the Lord God had taken from the man, made
he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And the man said, This is now
bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman (Heb.
ishshah), because she wa... 阅读全帖 |
