当然,我们的信念是根据“唯独圣经”(约 14:6;徒 4:12;提前 2:5),但敬畏神的人也可以为我们提供佐证。以下我提供三位可靠见证人的回复,为的是请大家不要轻忽这个严重的问题。
Our conviction, of course, is based on the Scripture Only(John 14:6;Acts 4:12;1Tim 2:5), but the testimony of those who fear the Lord can also provide confirmation. I will give you some feedback I have received from three reliable persons, so that you will not overlook such a vital question.
1)A. H. wrote: 中国宣教士回信:
Brother, Have received your letter on the Kongzi matter as well as your follow up note and I agree with you completely and stand with you on this conviction. We must hold the line on this foundational point no matter what the consequence. Will contact you again soon.
弟兄,我已收到你所写的有关孔子的来信与后来的补充。完全同意你立场,并与你站在同一阵线。我们必须不惜代价,在这基要真理上坚持到底。我会尽快与你联络。
2)Sam Waldron wrote: (Ph.D. - Academic Dean Resident Professor of Systematic Theology)系统神学教务主任写到: Well said on this issue, Larry. This is something best said by a Chinese, but necessary for any faithful preacher to say.
很好,Larry,这是我所听见的,中国人当中在这方面最好的辩解,但任何忠心的传道人都必须说这样的话。
3)Paul Washer said: 保罗华许说:
“We would have taken him (Pastor Z) down the pulpit on the spot.”
“我们当场就会把他(传道人)从讲台上撵下来。”
Gal 1:9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. 10 For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.
加 1:9 我们已经说了,现在又说,若有人传福音给你们,与你们所领受的不同,他就应当被咒诅。10 我现在是要得人的心呢?还是要得神的心呢?我岂是讨人的喜欢吗?若仍旧讨人的喜欢,我就不是基督的仆人了。
