她如果说是她还没有信耶稣前的状态,说这样的话,反映出她感激上帝的心意。
她引用的是路加福音15章--流浪的小儿子的故事,这是耶稣亲自讲述的一个比喻性故事
,对现实有着深刻的反射。(15:11-32)
11 耶稣又说,一个人有两个儿子。
12小儿子对父亲说,父亲,请你把我应得的家业分给我。他父亲就把产业分给他们。
13过了不多几日,小儿子就把他一切所有的,都收拾起来,往远方去了。在那里任意放
荡,浪费资财。
14既耗尽了一切所有的,又遇着那地方大遭饥荒,就穷苦起来。
15于是去投靠那地方的一个人,那人打发他到田里去放猪。
16他恨不得拿猪所吃的豆荚充饥。也没有人给他。
17他醒悟过来,就说,我父亲有多少的雇工,口粮有余,我倒在这里饿死吗?
18我要起来,到我父亲那里去,向他说,父亲,我得罪了天,又得罪了你。
19从今以后,我不配称为你的儿子,把我当作一个雇工吧。
20于是起来往他父亲那里去。相离还远,他父亲看见,就动了慈心,跑去抱着他的颈项
,连连与他亲嘴。
21儿子说,父亲,我得罪了天,又得罪了你,从今以后,我不配称为你的儿子。
22父亲却吩咐仆人说,把那上好的袍子快拿出来给他穿。把 |

谢谢指点。我同意你的注释。
流浪的时候,什么放纵私欲的事情都是可能的。你我成为基督徒之前,难道是圣人吗?
我们不是一样有罪,有不好的行为?但是主耶稣的血为我们洗清了罪,我们是蒙受恩典
和赦免的人了,我们如果感激上帝,爱主耶稣的话,就会彻底悔改我们的罪,即便有时
无心犯罪的话,主的赎价也是足够我们的了。。爱主的话,就会听从他的诫命,不要再
犯罪。 |

也解决不了罪恶的根源。 |

Thursday, 7th November—
Beyond the Indian hamlet, upon a forlorn strand, I happened on a trail of
recent footprints.
Through rotting kelp, sea cocoa-nuts & bamboo, the tracks led me to their
maker, a White man,
his trow-zers & Pea-jacket rolled up, sporting a kempt beard & an outsized
Beaver, shoveling
& sifting the cindery sand with a teaspoon so intently that he noticed me
only after I had hailed
him from ten yards away. Thus it was, I made the acquaintance of... 阅读全帖 |

On behalf of my ministry, thank you for agreeing to this final interview.
Please remember, this
isn’t an interrogation, or a trial. Your version of the truth is the only
one that matters.
TRUTH IS SINGULAR. ITS “VERSIONS” ARE MISTRUTHS.
… Good. Ordinarily, I begin by asking prisoners to recall their earliest
memories to provide a
context for corpocratic historians of the future. Fabricants have no

基督徒,including myself, 有时是有self-righteousness的倾向。God 也知道,所以
在 prodigal son 的故事中,both sons were sinners. |

now we are reduced to anecdotal evidences instead of well controlled studies
. I have seen atheist kids become born-again Christians in college, de-
converts return again as prodigal sons...In a "scientific" way, how can you
attribute the transition to level of education w/o isolating the impact of
other factors?
IMHO, independent of the level of education, people has a spiritual need
that can not be met with secular knowledge, and advance in science/education
will not fill that void. You as a... 阅读全帖 |

l**********t 发帖数: 5754 | 11 Is this related to the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15?
here are the verses after the lost son returned:
25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house,
he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked
him what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your
father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.
’

arminianism, namely
"The Efficacious Call of the Spirit or Irresistible Grace"
vs.
"The Holy Spirit Can Be Effectually Resisted"
the former emphasizes God's absolute sovereignty, and the latter balances
with huamn (with free will)'s responsibility.
The gospels present both sides:
the parable of the lost coin illustrates the inability of the lost to return
to God (the lost coin isn't aware that it is lost, and can't return to the... 阅读全帖 |

The prodigal son needs to "come to his senses" -- the obligation/
responsibility of human to accept the salvation freely offered thru Jesus
Christ to everyone. |

When the Creator had finished thinking, He said, "I have thought. Behold!"
He lifted His hand, and from it burst a fountain-spray of fire, a million
stupendous suns, which clove the blackness and soared, away and away and
away, diminishing in magnitude and intensity as they pierced the far
frontiers of Space, until at last they were but as diamond nailheads
sparkling under the domed vast roof of the universe.
At the end of an hour the Grand Council was dismissed.

当时教我奉为模范的是那些谈到自己的常事时因措词不善或文法错误而受到讥评,便深
感惭愧,演述自己的轻薄行径时却有伦有脊、情文相生、淋漓尽致,受到人家称赞而引
以自豪的人。我堕入虚浮之中离开了你,又何足为奇?
主,你是种种觑得明白,但默而不言,你真是“能忍的,慈祥而真实的”。[33]但你是
否始终沉默呢?现在我的灵魂追求你、渴望你的甘饴,我的心灵向你说:“我已追寻你
的容光,主,我还将追寻你的容光”,[34]因为处于情欲的暗影之中,就远离你的容光
;你便把我从不测深渊中挽救出来。离开你或重新趋向你身畔,不是在双足的步履上,
也不是在空间的距离上。你的次子,是否跨马或乘车搭船,或生了双翅而飞行,或徒步
而去,别居于辽远的地区,挥霍你在临行时所给他的财物?[35]你是一位温良的父亲,
你给他财物;等他贫无立锥而回家时,你更是温良。因此,都是由于纵情恣欲才陷入黑
暗,才远离你的容光。
主、天主,请你看、请你和经常一样耐心地看:人的子孙多么留心遵守前人说话时通行

The album was praised by The Guardian: "Its skewed pop recalls Bowie's Hunky
Dory, and pinpoints the human cost of superpower recklessness, prompting a
standing ovation for pop music's most mercurial refusenik-turned-prodigal
