« 周 纲目 »
壹 圣经纯正的话语所启示的三一神:
Ⅰ The Triune God revealed by the pure word in the bible :
一 神是独一的—诗八六10,赛四五5,林前八4。
A God being only one - Psa. 86:10, Isa. 45:5, 1 Cor. 8:4.
二 却又有父、子、灵三方面的讲究—创一26,赛六8,太二八19。
B But having the aspect of three—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit - Gen. 1:26, Isa. 6:8, Matt. 28:19.
 


祷读经节  
  林前八4 …神只有一位,再没有别的神。”

  赛四五5 我是耶和华,再没有别神;除了我以外没有神;你虽不认识我,我却给你束腰。”

  太二八19 所以你们要去,使万民作我的门徒,将他们浸入父、子、圣灵的名里。”
  1 Cor. 8:4 ……there is no God but one.

  Isa. 45:5 I am Jehovah and there is no one else; Besides Me there is no God; I girded you, although you do not know Me;

  Matt. 28:19 Go therefore and disciple all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
三一神是一个奥秘,但我们却能接受并享受祂  
  圣经里启示神是三一的,这是太重大的启示。神是独一的神,祂名称为耶和华,而这位神又是三,是父、是子、是灵。这乃是一个奥秘,且是一个奥秘中的奥秘。我们这微小有限的人,没有办法领会得透,更不能用我们的话把祂说得完全。…虽然如此,我们却能接受并享受祂这位奥秘的神。我们不能了解却能享受。从前的人一点不懂什么叫维他命,但他们都享受得很多。三一神不是为着给我们了解,乃是为着给我们享受。祂之所是,凡为着给我们享受的,都启示在圣经中。

  在圣经中,虽找不到“三一”这个辞,却能看到神是三一的这个事实。我们现在来把圣经中与这事较为明显有关系的地方看一下。
  The Bible reveals that God is triune. This is a revelation of great importance. God is uniquely one, and His name is Jehovah; yet this God is also triune—He is the Father, Son, and Spirit. This is a mystery; in fact, it is a mystery of mysteries. Small and finite as we are, we human beings cannot understand it thoroughly; even less can we define it in a full way. …. Nevertheless, we can receive and enjoy this mysterious God. We cannot understand, but we can enjoy! In former days men had no knowledge of vitamins, though they greatly enjoyed their benefit. The Triune God is not for us to understand, but to enjoy. All that He is for us to enjoy is revealed in the Scriptures; we cannot fully understand it, yet we may, according to all that is declared in the Scriptures, accept whatever is said.

  Although we cannot find the term “triune” in the Scriptures, we can see the fact concerning the Trinity of the Godhead. Let us now examine the verses in the Bible that are more evidently related to this matter.
神是独一的  
  圣经多次多方说到神只有一位。无论在旧约或新约里,都清楚并确定的告诉我们,神只有一位。林前八章四节说,“神只有一位,再没有别的神。”以赛亚四十五章五节说,“我是耶和华,再没有别神;除了我以外没有神。”…神这多次的宣言,强有力的证明,神只有一位。…这是圣经明确的启示,也是一个基本而总结的原则。

  也许有人会问,神既只有一位,在创世记一章二十六节里,神怎么自称我们,并且说我们的形像呢?到底是只有一位神呢?或是一位以上的神呢?答复乃是:祂是三一神,是独一的神,却有父、子、灵三方面的讲究。
  The Scriptures in many instances and in many ways tell us that God is uniquely one. Both in the Old Testament and in the New, there are many passages which clearly and definitely tell us that God is only one. First Corinthians 8:4 says, “There is no God but one,” and Isaiah 45:5 says, “I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God besides me.” Similar words also can be found in Isaiah 45:6, 21, 22; and 44:6, 9. …In these passages God repeatedly says, “There is no God besides me.” He does not say, “There is no God besides us,” but, “There is no God besides me.” Me is singular, only one. These repeated declarations of God strongly prove that God is uniquely one. …That God is one is a clear and definite revelation of the Scriptures; it is also a fundamental and consummate principle.

  Perhaps some will ask, “Since God is only one, why did God speak of Himself as Us in Genesis 1:26? And why did He say Our image? Is there just one God, or is there more than one?” The answer is: He is the Triune God; He is one, yet three—the Father, Son, and Spirit.
神有父、子、灵三方面的讲究  
  神自称“我”,又称“我们”

  神在以赛亚六章八节说,“我可以差遣谁呢?谁肯为我们去呢?”神称自己一面作我,一面又作我们,这证明我就是我们,我们也就是我。神是单数的呢,还是多数的?你若说祂是多数的,祂说“我”。你若说祂是单数的,祂说“我们”。这就相当奥秘了,我们很难了解,只好照明文接受圣经的启示。

  还有,创世记一章二十六节:“神说,我们要按着我们的形像,照着我们的样式造人。”那独一的神,在祂的圣言中,竟多次称祂自己作我们。这真是令人难解的奥秘!但我们应该相信,这必是由于神有父、子、灵的讲究。
  
父、子、灵的讲究  
  主在马太二十八章十九节说,“将他们浸入父、子、圣灵的名里。”主在这里清楚地说出父、子、圣灵三者。但〔在这里〕…所用的“名”字,在原文是单数的。这是说,父、子、圣灵虽是三者,名却是一个。三者一个名,这当然就是三一。

  主在这里所说父、子、圣灵的名,这名是父呢,是子呢,还是圣灵?这实在是很难解答的问题。我们只好说,父、子、圣灵的名,就是父、子、圣灵,这一个名包括父、子、圣灵三者。这就说出神是三一的,祂虽是一位神,却有父、子、灵三者的讲究(真理课程一级卷一,一八至二一页)。
  In Isaiah 6:8 God says, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” God speaks of Himself on one hand as I and on the other hand as Us. This proves that I is Us and Us is I; I and Us are identical. Then, is God singular or plural? If you say He is plural, He says I. If you say He is singular, He says Us. This is rather mysterious and difficult to understand; so we simply take the scriptural revelation as it is.

  Furthermore, Genesis 1:26 says, “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” That the only God, in His divine word, speaks of Himself a number of times as Us is truly a mystery which is hard for us to understand. Nevertheless, we must believe that it is because of God being the Father, Son, and Spirit.
