"上帝看明要將祂的位格與品德二者同時顯出，單靠自然界是不夠的。因此祂就差遣祂的兒子到世上來，在人眼目所能忍受的範圍之內，顯示那位看不見之上帝的本質與屬性." (教會證言 卷八 265.5) 

問題:　從以上的經文看, 上帝和他的兒子會是同一位嗎? 他的兒子又會否如三位一體所說的 "有一上帝：父、子、聖靈，為一永恆存在之三位的結合" 的其中的一位? 如果不是的話, 那請問這位上帝是由幾多位組成的? 一位還是多於一位? 我們都知道這位兒子就是耶穌, 那麼這位上帝是誰呢? 

"在造人的事上就顯明了一位有位格之神的作為。當上帝照著自己的形像造人之時，人的形體在各方面都已完備，只是沒有生命，後來一位有位格、自有永有的上帝，將生氣吹入那形體之中，於是人便成了有理智的活人。人身體的各器官都活動起來。心臟、動脈、靜脈、舌頭、手足、五官，以及思想的機能，也各都在定律之下開始工作。於是人就成了有靈的活人。一位有位格的上帝藉著“道”——基督——創造了人，又賦與他理智和能力."  (服務真詮 415.1)                                 “In the creation of man was manifest the agency of a personal God. When God had made man in His image, the human form was perfect in all its arrangements, but it was without life. Then a personal, SELF-EXISTING God breathed into that form the breath of life, and man became a living, intelligent being. All parts of the human organism were set in action. The heart, the arteries, the veins, the tongue, the hands, the feet, the senses, the faculties of the mind, all began their work, and all were placed under law. Man became a living soul. THROUGH CHRIST THE WORD, a personal God created man and endowed him with intelligence and power.” (MH 415)  

問題:  這位藉著基督創造人類的神是一位還是多於一位(三位一體)?                                        "A personal" (個人)這個詞語是什麼意思? 

現今在我們這個世界上，對於創造主並不是一位有位格有形體的上帝，還有著不少的論爭。上帝有形體，人是接著祂的形體被塑造的。上帝按著自己的形像把人創造出來之後，人的身體就各方面的安排來說都是完美的了，只是沒有生命力。後來經過有位格有形體、自有永有的上帝，將生命的氣息吹進那身體裡，人便成了一個有生命、有氣息、有智慧的生物。人體各部分的組織都開始活動起來。心臟、動脈、靜脈、舌頭、手腳、頭腦的理解力、各種感官、全都受著自然律的支配。這時，人才成為有靈的活人了。

上帝──並不是什麼香氣，也不是什麼模糊無實體的東西，而是一位有位格有形體的上帝，藉著耶穌基督創造了人，又將智慧和能力賦給他。…… (Ms117 21 Sep, 1898/今日偕主行 267.4-5)                                                                                            “There are many issues in our world today in regard to the Creator not being a personal God. God is a being, and man was made in His image. After God created man in His image, the form was perfect in all its arrangements, but it had no vitality. Then a personal, SELF-EXISTING GOD breathed into that form the breath of life, and man became a living, breathing, intelligent being. All parts of the human machinery were put in motion. The heart, the arteries, the veins, the tongue, the hands, the feet, the perceptions of the mind, the senses, were placed under physical law. It was then that man became a living soul.

THROUGH Jesus Christ, God—NOT A PERFUME, NOT SOMETHING INTENGIBLE, but a personal God—created man and endowed him with intelligence and power. (Ms117 21 Sep, 1898/TDG 267.4-5)

從以上兩段的證言清楚指出那位自有永有的神只有一位就是天父, 亦是耶穌, 保羅及眾使徒口中所稱的"一神/獨一真神" (約 17:3, 哥前 8:6, 以弗所書 4:6 & 約一 5:19-20等等 ). 他藉著祂的兒子耶穌基督創造世界, 又藉著祂的兒子把他的品格彰顯出來. 注意: 基督雖為神, 擁有天父一切的屬性, 權柄, 能力及被父高舉與他"同等"但他不像天父是"萬有之源"(然而我們只有一位神, 就是父, 萬物都本於他, 我們也歸於他. 哥前 8:6). 只因耶穌是天父的獨生子從他而出(父在先, 子在後!), 加上耶穌基督的一切都是從天父而來的. 所以這就是為什麼聖經多次指出"一神"就是父, 而不是由父, 子, 靈三為合一! 亦是耶穌所說的: "我父比我大"

"基督從上帝那裡承受了萬有，但他承受乃是為要施與。基督在天庭為一切受造之物的服務，也是如此；天父的生命透過他的愛子流給萬有，萬有再將讚美和愉快的侍奉，就是愛的熱潮，透過上帝的愛子歸還“萬有之源”。(歷代願望 21.2)

“All things Christ received from God, but He took to give. So in the heavenly courts, in His ministry for all created beings: through the beloved Son, the Father’s life flows out to all; through the Son it returns, in praise and joyous service, a tide of love, to the great Source of all.” (DA 21.2)                                              

"因為父怎樣在自己有生命, 就賜給他兒子也照樣在自己有生命." (約翰福音 5: 26)

“Our ministers must be very careful not to enter into controversy in regard to the personality of God. This is a subject that they are not to touch. It is a mystery, and the enemy will surely lead astray those who enter into it. We know that Christ came in person to reveal God to the world. God is a person (not a unity of 3 co-eternal persons**), and Christ is a person. Christ is spoken of in the Word as “the brightness of His Father’s glory, and the express image of His person.” {Ms46-1904.15 par. 15)

Remark: ** added                                                                                               

God is a person, an individual person! God id not a unity of three co-eternal persons. It doesn't get clear than that!   

上帝是一个人, 就是耶穌基督的父. 而不是如"三位一體"所說的有一上帝：由父、子、聖靈，為一永恆存在之三位的結合！ 没有比这更清楚的了！           

“God is never to be understood by any human being. His ways and His works are past finding out. In regard to the revelations that He has made of Himself in His Word, we may talk. But when it comes to talking or writing of God’s person and presence, let us say, ‘Thou art God, and Thy ways are past finding out.’”(Lt232-1903.49 1903) 

"Again and again during my experience in the Lord’s work, I have been called upon to meet these erroneous sentiments. In every case, clear, powerful light has been given that God is the eternal, self-existent One. From my girlhood I have been given plain instruction that God is a person, and that Christ is “the express image of His person.” [Hebrews 1:3.] God always has been. That which concerns us is not the how or the wherefore." (MS 137, 1903 par 3)

Question: Is God a person or a unity of three co-eternal persons (Trinity)? 

Answer: Obviously God is a person (not a unity of 3 co-eternal person) and He always has been!                                                                                                               显然，上帝是一个人(天父) 而不是由父、子、聖靈，為一永恆存在之三位的結合 & 他一直都是如此! Amen!                                                                                                 "然而我們只有一位神, 就是父, 萬物都本於他, 我們也歸於他.並有一位主, 就是耶穌基督, 萬物都是藉著他有的, 我們也是藉著他有的. 但 人 不 都 有 這 等 知 識...." (哥林多前書  8: 6-7)   

** 不是所有人都知道聖經中的"一神"只是一位, 就是父, 而不是像三位一體的教導說是由父, 子, 聖靈, 為一永恆存在之三位的結合的一位神!

"Christ gave his followers a positive promise that after his ascension he would send them his Spirit. “Go ye therefore,” he said, “and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father [a personal God], and of the Son [a personal Prince and Saviour], and of the Holy Ghost [sent from heaven to represent Christ]: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." (RH Oct 26, 1897 par.9)

＂大自然不是上帝，永遠也不是。上帝在大自然中。自然界的聲音為上帝作見證。但是自然界不等於上帝。作為上帝的創作，大自然只是見證祂的能力。有一位聖父上帝，還有一位聖子基督.＂(健康生活  287.1)

"The new theories in regard to God and Christ, as brought out in “The Living Temple”, are not in harmony with the teaching of Christ. The Lord Jesus came to this world to represent the Father. He did not represent God as an essence pervading nature, BUT AS A PERSONAL BEING. Christians should bear in mind that GOD HAS A PERSONALITY AS VERILY AS HAS CHRIST." (SpM 324.2)

Question: Who is God mentioned in the above verses? 

Answer: The Father alone and he is a person! 

"Our heavenly Father IS THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE, and Christ is the divine Son, the One equal with the Father." 

(Ms49, 1906, par.26)

Question: In what sense is Jesus (the Son) equal with The Father (God)? Is he also “the God of the universe” like His Father?                    Answer: “Our great Exemplar was exalted to be equal with God.”

 (2T 426) /  "上帝為基督的父, 基督乃上帝的兒子. 基督已蒙賜與至高之位. 祂得與父同等, 上帝所有的旨意沒有不顯明給祂兒子的."

(教會證言 卷八 268.3)

Please also read the following statements carefully! 

"上帝所膏的聖子乃是“上帝本體的真像，”又是“上帝榮耀所發的光輝....宇宙的大君召集了天上的全軍到他面前，為要當著他們宣布他兒子的真正地位，並說明他和一切受造之物的關係。上帝的兒子是與父同坐寶座的(The Son of God shared the Father's throne)，所以自有永有，亙古常在者的榮耀乃是父子所共有的…. 天父藉著他的兒子創造了天上一切的生靈……於是上帝當著天上的會眾聲明，唯有他的獨生子基督能完全參與他的謀劃，唯有基督有權執行他大能的旨意。上帝的兒子曾在創造天上眾軍的事上成全了父的旨意，所以他們應當敬拜服從基督，象敬拜服從上帝一樣。而且基督還要在創造地球和其上居民的事上施展他的權能…..路錫甫離開耶和華的面，出去到眾天使中間散佈不滿的情緒….路錫甫認為自己也是配受崇拜和尊敬的，所以聖父高舉他的兒子與他自己同等，就使路錫甫受了委屈 .  (先祖與先知 34.2, 36.2 & 37.1)

問題1)  誰是哪宇宙的大君, 自有永有，亘古常在者? 

問題2) 是誰被上帝(天父)所膏及高舉? 這意味著什麼? 是父比子大還是子比父大? 還是父子他們是同等的地位?

問題3) 是什麼問題導致路锡甫不滿繼而叛變? 

伟大的创造主召集了天庭的全军，以便在众天使面前将特别的尊荣赐予祂的儿子。圣子与圣父同坐宝座，天上的全体圣天使聚集在祂们的周围，于是圣父声明祂曾亲自命定祂的爱子基督与祂同等。因此，祂的儿子在哪里，也就等于祂在哪里。圣子的话应当象圣父的话一样，为众生所欣然遵奉。祂已经将指挥天庭全军的权柄授予祂的儿子。祂的儿子特别要在创造大地和地上一切生灵的工作上与祂自己联合。祂的儿子将要执行祂的旨意与计划，但决不凭自己行事。圣父的旨意将要成全在圣子身上。(預言之靈 卷一 17.2)

問題1) 耶穌的權柄與尊榮是從而何而來? 

問題2) 耶穌與天父的"同等"是一直都如此的嗎? 

請注意: 基督應與天父一樣受敬拜, 但他與天父的"同等地位"卻是被授予及高舉的! “Our great Exemplar was exalted to be equal with God.”(2T 426) 

正如聖經上所說 "神既在古時藉著眾先知多次多方的曉諭列祖, 就在這末世藉著他兒子曉諭我們；又早已立他為承受萬有的，也曾藉著他創造諸世界." (希伯來書 1: 1-2)

于是基督在父面前为罪人代求，天上的全军以言语所不能形容的深切关怀，来等待它的结果。父子之间的神秘交谈继续了很久——为堕落的世人“筹定和平。”（亚6:13）救恩的计划在创造天地之前就已经设立；因为基督是“创世以来”“被杀之羔羊；”（启13:8）虽然如此，但全宇宙之王为犯罪的人类来牺牲爱子，还是经过一番相当挣扎的。但是“上帝爱世人，甚至将他的独生子赐给他们，叫一切信他的，不至灭亡，反得永生。”（约3:16）奇哉，这救赎的奥秘！上帝竟爱一个不爱他的世界！谁能明白那“过于人所能测度的”爱是何等的长阔高深？在将来无穷尽的世代中，当天地之间一切的生灵要求明白那不可思议之爱的奥秘时，他们必要大大惊奇，在上帝面前俯伏敬拜了。(先祖與先知 63.3)

問題 1) 這位全宇宙之王是誰? 誰是他的爱子? 

問題 2) 從以上這段証言來看, 這位宇宙之王與他的愛子的"父子關係"是否真實? 還是只是一個比喻? 

問題 3) 耶穌所說的"父比我大"到底又是真實的還是只個比喻?

We rejoiced that the God of creation is the God of the Bible, and that we can claim this infinite Being as our Father. We talked of the glories of his power and wisdom, and adored the matchless love which has made it possible, through Jesus Christ, for fallen man to become a son and heir of the Maker and Sovereign of the universe. (RH Nov 1, 1881 par.4)

Question: Who is the God of the Bible? Who is the Maker and Sovereign of the universe? 

Answer: The Father alone! 

Answer: Christ is one with the Father, but Christ and God are two distinct personages.   (RH JUNE 1, 1905 Par.14)

“The Scriptures clearly indicate the relation between God and Christ, and they bring to view as clearly the personality and individuality of each. [Hebrews 1:1-5 quoted.] God is the Father of Christ; Christ is the Son of God. To Christ has been given an exalted position. He has been made equal with the Father. All the counsels of God are opened to His Son.”                            (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 8, page 268, 1904)                                 Note: God is a person and he is the father of Christ. (Not a unity of 3 co-eternal persons)

“圣经明明地指出基督与上帝的关系，并且清楚地显示了二者的位格与个性。上帝为基督的父，基督乃上帝的儿子。基督已蒙赐与至高之位。祂得与父同等，上帝所有的旨意没有不显明给祂儿子的。”                        (給教會的勉言 76.4 & 76.5)上帝是一位 (不是為一永恆存在之三位的結合)

“The seventeenth chapter of John speaks plainly regarding the personality of God and of Christ, and of their relation to each other. "Father, the hour is come," Christ said: "glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee." [John 17:23, 3, 5-11 quoted.] Here is personality, and individuality (MS 124, 1903)/(5BC 1145.10)

Remark: Again, God (a person) is the Father of Christ (literally) and Christ (a person) is the Son of God (literally)! Christ is not His father which means Christ is not the "God of the Bible". Please read below statement! 

"...上帝的聖子是獨一真神的化身, 擁有良善, 仁慈和不倦的愛, 內心總是被人類的禍患觸動的主. 人們拒絕祂, 接受一個兇手取代祂, 顯明了人性在上帝的靈不再約束, 處於大叛徒轄制之下時, 能做什麼和會做什麼. 亮光被拒絕到什麼程度, 誤解和誤會也會到什麼程度." 《信息選粹》卷三 416.2        “…By rejecting the Son of God, THE PERSONIFICATION OF THE ONLY TRUE GOD, who possessed goodness, mercy, and untiring love, whose heart was ever touched with human woe, and choosing a murderer in his stead, the Jews showed what human nature can and will do when the restraining power of the Spirit of God is removed, and men are under the control of the apostate. Just to that degree that light is refused and rejected will there be misconception and misunderstanding.  (3SM 416.2)

"耶和华是自有永有的真神，他是唯一并非被造的真神，唯有他是万有的根源和万有的维护者(the source and sustainer of all) ；唯有他配受最高的尊敬和崇拜."(先祖與先知 305.4)

問題: 這位耶和华 “万有的根源和万有的维护者”是誰?

答案: “然而我們只有一位神、就是父, 萬物都本於他、我們也歸於他.” (哥林多前書 8:6)

“这位“亘古常在者”就是父上帝。诗人说：“诸山未曾生出，地与世界你未曾造成，从亘古到永远，你是上帝。”（诗90:2）这位宇宙众生之源 (THE SOURCE OF ALL BEING) ，又是一切律法之本的上帝，将要主持审判。有“千千万万”的圣天使要担任差役和见证人，出席这个伟大的法庭."    (善惡之争 479.2)

God desires His people to look to Him for guidance, that they may be led by His Spirit. He is the eternal, Self-existence SOURCE OF ALL life, physical and spiritual. (Lt19-1901)

Question: Who is God mentioned in the above verse? 

“基督从上帝那里承受了万有，但他承受乃是为要施与。基督在天庭为一切受造之物的服务，也是如此；天父的生命透过他的爱子流给万有，万有再将赞美和愉快的侍奉，就是爱的热潮，透过上帝的爱子归还“万有之源”. (歷代願望 21.2)

問題:  誰是这位"万有之源”? 基督還是上帝? 

人们若是愿意接受基督，并且看到上帝律法的约束性要求 ，就不会采取中立的立场，而会以完全的信心站出来，说：耶和华是我的帮助者。祂是惟一的真神，祂所差来的耶稣基督是至高无上永远的良善。这样他们就会为自己获得上帝的伟大应许。(克雷斯选集 61.6)

If men would accept Christ, and see the binding claims of the law of God, they would not take a neutral position, but would stand out in full confidence, and say, The Lord is my helper. He is the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom He has sent is the supreme and everlasting Good. (KC 61.6)
