※ 引述《theologe (表达你我的信仰~)》之铭言:
: 延续#1RUOXdna推文处tf建议的“反律主义”探讨:
: 这篇摘要介绍了那时路德处理的争论,比较好懂一点
: https://lutheranreformation.org/history/the-antinomian-disputations/
: 有些句子我真的看到板上两造辩论的影子!
: "Agricola and the Antinomians did not deny the presence of sin in the life of
: the Christian. However, they saw the Law as a dead letter, which by no means
: could bring about repentance. Repentance is brought about by the work of the
: Holy Spirit, as Jesus teaches in John 14-16, and the antinomians operated
: with the idea that the Holy Spirit did not work through the Law. Instead,
: they believed that the Holy Spirit operates only in the Gospel. Therefore,
: the preaching of the crucified Christ alone would lead to true repentance.
: Repentance from sin was not about recognizing that one had violated the Law
: but that one had done harm to the Son of Man, who laid down His life for the
: salvation of sinners."
: 这段对反律主义论点的描绘,跟板上会所弟兄表述的几乎一致。
: 并非罪大恶极,甚至颇有说服力,但就是怪怪的。
帮大家整理一下重点:
一、非律主义者认为律法是死的字句,无法带来悔改。
二、悔改是由圣灵的工作带来的。
三、因罪悔改不是因为认识到人违反了律法......
theo的理解中,这与会所弟兄表述的几乎一致。真的是这样吗?
那么会所弟兄怎么表述呢?
一、若想凭肉体遵守律法,那么律法的确可以是死的字句。
但当我们在神的光中,却看见律法能暴露人的罪,暴露我们是罪人。
二、律法的暴露加上圣灵的光照,使人悔改。
三、人就是违反了律法,窥缺了神的荣耀。
嗯......看起来表述不太一样呢!
出埃及记生命读经六十四篇中说得更清楚:
我们必须牢记,律法是属灵、圣洁、公义且良善的,颁赐律法的本意是要带进生命,律法
本身不能给人生命。那么我们向着律法该有什么样的态度呢?我们绝不该轻看律法。反之
,我们应当感谢律法暴露我们,征服我们,并且把我们带到作生命源头的主那里。我们应
当说:‘律法,我要感谢你暴露我,征服我,并带我归向那能赐我生命的那一位。我要感
谢你引我到赐生命者那里。’
顺便提醒:之前有人指控我们贬低律法,看来也是子虚乌有。
: 至于路德怎么回应?
: "For Luther, if one would lose the proclamation of the Law, one would also
: lose the sweet gospel which sets sinners free from condemnation. He said, “
: Yet it is safest to turn to a middle road, to turn too much neither to the
: right nor to the left. For both are dangerous, and, as I said already, for
: this reason also, the office of the word was instituted, that we might teach
: both, that is, the Law and the Gospel. The one cannot properly be taught or
: dealt with safely without the other…So here too one must divide well, lest
: only one part be taught in the churches—either fear and sorrow or
: consolation and joy—but both at the same time.”[4] Both Law and Gospel are
: necessary for repentance: the Law which works contrition (sorrow for sin) and
: the Gospel which works faith in the promise of forgiveness.
: Is there a need for the preaching of the Law? Should pastors proclaim the Law
: in their sermons? Does the Law play a role in repentance? Yes. “The Law
: reveals the guilt of sin And makes us conscience-stricken; But then the
: Gospel enters in The sinful soul to quicken.”[5] As we remain in the fallen
: flesh we will have need for God’s holy Law, not as a means to make ourselves
: righteous but in order that we take hold of the depth of Christ’s saving
: work for us, delivered in the Gospel message of forgiveness."
: 其他的部份请再自行阅读连结全文。
重点:
律法使罪揭露,并使我们良心有亏缺,接着福音进入我们里面,使我们悔改并被拯救。
原来路德说的才跟会所弟兄表述几乎一致呀!
所以抱歉,非律主义的帽子会所戴不下,请送给别人。

补充一段有意思的文字。
在神学的故事467-468页说到:
“路德的对手们控告,路德向反律法主义这个古老异端敞开大门,否认所有的律法和顺服。
他们控诉说,路德关于称义的教导会打消基督徒追求圣洁生活的动机......
路德用他自己的方法,来说明基督徒的善行。善行,例如爱神与爱人的行动,会从基督徒
因为得到赦免且被称为义的新心里,自然流露出来。认识恩典的同一个信心,以及称他为
义的同一个恩典,一定会从这位基督徒里面,开始改变他,并且结出义的果子。路德确信
这一点,但是,不要太专注于善行,以免被它牵着鼻子,回到行义的路子上。”
路德遭受的指控,不知道大家有没有觉得很眼熟?
不就是前些日子会所遭受的指控吗?
路德的遭遇我们现在也感同身受了。
