約翰壹書所傳的警告:敵基督者

敵基督者的警告 在約翰壹書第二章,使徒約翰警告說: “ 2:18 小子們哪、如今是末時了.你們曾聽見說、那敵基督的要來、現在已經有好些敵基督的出來了.從此我們就知道如今是末時了。 2:19 他們從我們中間出去、卻不是屬我們的.若是屬我們的、就必仍舊與我們同在.他們出...

属耶稣基督的人才能有永生!属教会的人不能得永生! Belong to Lord Jesus Christ have eternal life! Belong to church will not have eternal life!


属耶稣基督的人才能有永生!属教会的人不能得永生!

奉主耶稣基督圣名写这篇回应!

读了Veritas同灵写的短信“YM被停职的原因之一”,我不得不为我们这一班信耶稣基督的信徒,竟然这么轻易地听信人的教训,而忘记了为我们的罪钉死在十字架上替我们赎罪的主耶稣基督,无奈地长叹一声!我们不是因为信耶稣基督才得到永生的吗?教会不只是一个传递信息的使者而已吗?我们不去信【主耶稣基督和祂的真理】而去信【一个传递信息的使者所传说的人的传统】他能赐给我们永生吗?如果【信教会 - 一个传递信息的使者】能得到永生的话,那么我们不就可以模仿哥林多教会的圣徒说“我们是属保罗的”,或“我们是属彼得的”,或“我们是属亚波罗的”而可以放弃“我们是属耶稣基督的身份地位”了,不是吗?醒醒吧!请你仔细用心去分析思考使徒保罗教导哥林多圣徒【属亚波罗】和【属耶稣基督】的逻辑关系,你或许可以看出【属教会】和【属耶稣基督】之间同样的逻辑关系,就可以轻易明白保罗的教导了。

所以我相信我在“主耶稣並没有叫我们建立教会组织”引用的例子经节,是对的。主耶稣呼召我们在磐石上聚集聚会;要我们成为一个独立的团体,脱离人的辖制(罗马帝王)而歸向神让神统领我们(神是唯一的王,因神是万王之王)。主耶稣呼召的信息危害到罗马帝王凯撒的地位和权势。这也是为什么传讲主耶稣信息的人,会受到逼迫,钉死和殉道。

你可以看到当使徒保罗传讲同样的信息遭遇到的事情:使徒行传17:6 找不着他们,就把耶孙和几个弟兄,拉到地方官那里,喊叫说,那搅乱天下的,也到这里来了。 17:7 耶孙收留他们。这些人都违背该撒的命令,说另有一个王耶稣。 17:8 众人和地方官,听见这话,就惊慌了。 17:9 于是取了耶孙和其馀之人的保状,就释放了他们。

保罗和巴拿巴是做了什么事情,竟然能搅乱天下?是因为保罗叫人去建基督教堂吗?是保罗向人收集钱财吗?都不是!是在177节说的,因为保罗向人传讲“另有一个王 --- 耶稣”,使到保罗遭受到迫害,因为保罗传讲的信息令凯撒大帝非常不安。

你能看出杨传道被迫害的原因在那里了吗?这不也是因为杨传道在宣告说,救我们的是【万王之王, 耶稣】而不是【属世君王,教会】。我们之所以得救是因为我们遵守【万王之王, 耶稣】的真理,我们得救不是因为我们遵守【属世君王,教会】立下的人的条文规矩。这使到凯撒大帝不安的信息,也同样的使到【属世君王,教会】和教会的最高组织非常不安!因为如果我们相信这信息,决定选择【万王之王, 耶稣】为我们的王,这样的话教会的最高组织就不再有能力来统治我们。如果我们眼睛突然【明亮】了,看到了【万王之王, 耶稣】才是我们永恒的君王,那我们就不再【盲目】的遵从和遵奉教会最高组织定下的条文规矩了。

醒醒吧!我亲爱的同灵们!点起你真理的火炬,让真理的光再次的照亮你周围的同灵们,使他们的眼睛明亮,能够再看到主耶稣的真理!请告诉他们,我们要服侍的是【万王之王, 耶稣】,不是去盲目的服侍【属世君王,教会】!只有属于【万王之王, 耶稣】的人可以得到永生!属于【属世君王,教会】组织的人只能得到【灭亡】的结局!阿门!

主啊!原一切荣耀颂赞都歸袮的圣名!阿门!

Belong to Lord Jesus Christ have eternal life! Belong to church will not have eternal life!

In the name of Lord Jesus I write!

Reading the short article posted by Veritas, “One of the reasons why YM has been suspended”, I have to sigh that we the believers of Christ are so gullible to men’s teaching so much so that we the believers of Christ have forgotten that it is Lord Jesus Christ who sacrificed for us for our redemption of sin. It is believed in Lord Jesus Christ that gives us the eternal life. It is not (believe) the church, who is acting as a messenger preaching such message that will be able to save us! If church as the messenger can save us, then we should have followed the Corinthians example by saying that “we belong to Paul”, or “we belong to Peter”, or “we belong to Apollo” instead of saying “we belong to Christ”. Wake up! Compare [church] and [Apollo] with the logic Apostle Paul had tried to teach the Corinth, and you should be able to see what Paul meant in his teaching.

That is also the reason I believe what I have shown you in the article “Lord Jesus did not mean to tell us to build a church organization” is true. Lord Jesus had made a call to us to assemble on the rock; to become independent and to break away from the rule of men (the Roman Emperor) and only to be ruled by God (the only true King). This message had endangered the position and power of the Roman Emperor Caesar as a king. That was the reason the one who preached such message was being persecuted, crucified and martyred.

You can see what had happened to Apostle Paul when he tried to preach the same message in the book of Acts chapter 17. Acts 17:6-9 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out; “These who have turned the world upside down have come here too. 7 Jason has harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king — Jesus." 8 And they troubled the crowd and the rulers of the city when they heard these things. NKJV

What did Paul and Barnabas did which turned the world upside down? Was it because Paul asked them to build a church building? Was it because Paul had collected money from the believers? None of the above! It was stated in verse 7. It was the message that Paul preached that “there is another King - Jesus” that got him into the big trouble because such message had troubled King Caesar.

Can you see the reason why YM was in trouble in Veritas’ article? It was because YM had declared that it is King Jesus who saves us but not the church-king. It is obeying the truths given by King Jesus that saves us but not church’s rules and regulations. Such message which had trouble king Caesar has trouble the church-king, the supreme organization. If we decide to choose King Jesus as our king, the church organization will not be able to rule over us. If our eyes become clear and see King Jesus as our king, then we cannot blindly obey and conform to the rules set by the church supreme organization.

So wake up, my dear brethren and sisters of Christ! Kindle your torch of Truths and shine the light onto your fellow Christians so they could have the clear eyes to see the Truths again! Tell them we should serve King Jesus and not to serve king-church-organization! Whoever belongs to King Jesus has eternal life! Whoever belongs to king-church-organization will be doomed for destruction! Amen!

Oh Lord! May all the praise and glory be unto your Holy Name! Amen!

哀哭祷告吧!Cry aloud and pray!



打破教会组织的迷思


Cry aloud and pray!
 
Yes Brother Dust:


Hannah prayed in her tears and prayed with her words on her lips silently, and God listened!


King David pretended madness when he was being pursued; calling upon God in his prayer, exalting the name of God in his prayer, and God listened!


Jeremiah, the prophet with tears prayed, and God listened!


My heart might have died with the pain but this was just my emotional feeling! Especially deep into the hour of the silent night, the ideas of our concepts swirling in my mind, then a question came into my sight. Even if God has helped to settle the disputes, even if God allows us to have a more transparent church organization, to have co-workers who obey God’s Truths more than before, is this the way God wants us to walk in? (ISA 30:21) When we are walking on the way, in our heart, are we only serving [one and only one God and Lord Jesus Christ], and not serving the idols? (JER 2:5) Then with the new understanding of the word “ECCLESIA” (Please refer to: Lord Jesus did not mean to tell us to build a church organization), I was overwhelmed by the unknown sorrow when I was thinking concerning God’s Truths, the calling of Lord Jesus Christ, weren’t that you and I are the people who had been misled by [wrongful Bible translation] and [the brain washing from the preachers] and not aware that we are serving the [IDOLS] in disguised! Therefore it comes to my mind again that it is a long journey to straighten God’s Truth!

You and I know that the Israelites’ ancestors who [had distance themselves from God] and [who had rejected God]. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve would like to be like God, disobeying God’s commandments Please refer to属灵战争的第一战:蛇与夏娃之战; in the land of Shinar, the Israelites would want to make a name only for themselves and they even had the intention to bypass God Please refer to属灵战争的第二战:建造巴别塔(人想要绕过神); in the land of Ramah, the Israelites rejected God to be their King (1 SAM 8) To be written: The third battle of the spiritual warfare: Israelites rejected God. From then onwards, majority of the people had rejected God even until today. They were serving IDOLS; besides God, any other thing that people serve is idol.

You may ask, is it really that no one has come forward calling them to return again and to only serve God as their King wholeheartedly? In fact, none of the people who breathed came out or brave enough to make the calling! Until the time when Lord Jesus made the calling in the book of Matthew 16:18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My ECCLESIA, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.  NKJV

Irrespective of whether you have such knowledge or not, man’s language changed over time. If you care to trace the etymological meaning of the origin of the word, then you may be able to find out that the origin of the Greek word “ECCLESIA” is as follow: [ECC = out; KALEO = call]. It means that “it is an assembly being called into place” (Britannica Encyclopedia defined in similar manner). Referring to (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecclesia) Ecclesia means the principal assembly of ancient Athens during its Golden Age. (Please refer to: Lord Jesus did not mean to tell us to build a church organization)

Therefore we can see that in the book of Matthew 16:18, Lord Jesus did not mean to call his disciples to build a church or a church organization. As such, building a church organization has helped to establish a supreme council who has the authority controlling all the believers. This organization has inadvertently become the [idol] for all. Therefore, Lord Jesus might have intended to call out those who had been controlled by the Roman King to gather and assemble upon this rock, so that the believers would serve Christ as their King [with God as their King].

Revisiting past history, we can see that Roman Emperor Constantine had single handedly destroyed Christ’s calling. Constantine had organized the [assembly] into a church organization basing on the same Roman Empire structure with Papa Pope as the King of all Christians. Similarly, the church organization structure which you and I have seen has become our King. The church organization continues to reject God’s Truths and they would only exalt the truths established by man. Irrespective whether it is the Catholic Pope, or our supreme church organization, it is similar to the [idol] mentioned in the book of Jeremiah chapter two.

Therefore our understanding of the truth had been kidnapped by the wrong Bible translation. In addition, historically all churches had brainwashed the believers that church was the one who saved you like the God. Unwittingly, our gut-feeling tells us that [church] is [God]. Therefore if you do not go to church means you have rejected God. Is it true that God only appears in church? Isn’t it that the omnipresent God filled all in all and He is also in your heart? Don’t we worship God in spirit and truth? For those preserved God as their King, no matter where you were, whether you were enjoying your life, or whether you were suffering and afflicting with transgressions, the omnipresent God were with you always. Isn’t it? God is not the King who controls you. God is the King who assists you. In the name of God, all are equal and free, isn’t it?

Brother Dust, irrespective whether we cry aloud in our prayer or withholding back our sorrow and tear and pray, I will not insist which kind of prayer is better than the other. However, just as Brother Dust had mentioned before, what count is that in our prayer whether we insist that we only serve one true God and Lord Jesus Christ as our King. We should willingly obey and follow the direction given by the Spirit of God. We should not make the [Pop] or the one who has masqueraded into another form like [church organization] as our King, or as our God and subdue to them and that we could only call-upon them like God. And without their approval, we are not allowed to follow the direction from the Spirit of God!

I hope that we can break the organization myth. If God is willing, maybe we can return to the system before [the period of Israelite Kingdom], or moving further up to the system before the building of the tower of Babel, or move even further up to the time before [the first battle of the spiritual warfare: the battle between the snake and Eve], where human had not sinned against God, earning back the precious status as the sons of God reconciling with God!

Truthfully, let us pray in one accord in the name of Lord Jesus Christ!


是的:


哈拿流着眼泪为了她遭遇到的痛苦口里喃喃说出呼求的祷告,神垂听了!


大卫仰望神,高举神的名,在困苦时向神呼求,神垂听了!


流泪的先知耶利米的哀哭,神垂听了!


Dust兄,为了宣扬神的真理伸直神的道,请带领同灵们嚎哭祷告吧!无所不知的神是看人内心的神,祂一定会垂听的!


哀莫大于心死,这大慨是我心态感觉!尤其是当我在夜阑人静深思我们心里的概念时,想到即使神解决我们今天面对的问题,得到一个比较透明的教会,得到一些比较遵神的真理的同工,这是神要我们所走的正路吗?我们走在这路上时在心里是否侍奉【独一真神主耶稣基督】,而不是【虚无的神】呢?想到这一点,ECCLESIA带来的新理解(请参考:主耶稣並没有叫我们建立教会组织),使我悲痛莫名,为神的道,为主耶稣的呼召,为你我这一群已经被【圣经翻译的错】和【传道人灌输】的思想,去侍奉【虚无的神】不自知,而悲痛!伸直主的道,是一条又长又远的路!

你我都知道,以色列人的哪一个列祖列宗【远离神】【离弃神】。在伊甸园,亚当夏娃要与神一样,不遵守神的命令 (请参考:属灵战争的第一战:蛇与夏娃之战);在示拿地,以色列人只要传扬自己的名声,更想要绕过神;(请参考:属灵战争的第二战:建造巴别塔(人想要绕过神))在拉玛地,以色列人厌弃神离弃不要神作他们的王(撒母耳记8(还没有完成的一篇,属灵战争的第三战:以色列人离弃神厌弃神)

從那时起,被众人的意念带动不能反抗【心里还是以神为王】的人,我们还是看到神赐给他们的祝福。可惜的是,我们都被神慈爱的【属世祝福】迷惑了,头脑简单的以为神是在祝福那厌弃神的人。神是在祝福那厌弃他的人吗?神不是在祝福那心里还信神以神为王的一些少数的人吗?從那时起,大多数人已经厌弃神,直到今日还是一样,去侍奉那虚无的王;除了神之外,一切人所侍奉的都是虚无的王。

难道没有一个人出现,出来呼召众人回过头来,重新遵神为王,全心全意事奉神吗?没有一个属血气的人能明白或有胆量出来呼召!直到主耶稣到来亲自呼召:马太16:18 我还告诉你,你是彼得,我要把我的ecclesia建造在这磐石上,阴间的权柄,不能胜过他。(权柄原文作门

文字随着时间朝代渐渐改变,所以我们如果追查原文的意义,希腊文“Ecclesia”原本的定义是:“被呼召出来(者)” [ECC = 出来out; KALEO = 呼召call]。可以说其定义是“被呼召出来聚集在一起的(集会,议会)”(大英百科全书也是这样说)。希腊文“Ecclesia”的定义(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecclesia),是古代雅典黄金时期雅典人民的主要集会。(请参考:主耶稣並没有叫我们建立教会组织

所以主耶稣並不是【呼召】祂的门徒去建立教会,建立教会的最高组织,无形中以教会的最高组织控制着信徒,成为信徒【虚无的王】。主耶稣是要把门徒從属世君王挟制下呼召出来,聚集在磐石上,可以自由的再次以基督为王【认神为王】。

回观历史,罗马帝王君士坦丁破坏了主耶稣的呼召,以罗马帝国的组织制度,把聚会组织成教会,教皇成为基督徒的王。同样的,今天你我看到的【教会组织】,【已经成为我们的王】,厌弃神的真理,遵人所自立的为真理。天主教的教皇,我们的教会组织,不也是耶利米书二章里所指的【虚无的神】或【虚无的王】吗?

因此被圣经翻译错的文字所捆绑,再加上历来教会组织都是在灌输教会等于是救你的【神】,虽然不知道这思想背后的详细理由,凴你我的直觉告诉我们,教会就是神,没有去教会就是离弃神。神只能在教会吗?无所不在的神不是在你我的心中吗?我们不是以心灵和诚实拜神吗?心中遵神为王的,无论你身处何方,无论你是养尊处优,或是上刀山入火海,无所不在的神都与你同在,你的王不离你左右,不是吗?那不是在挟制你的王,那是在扶助你的王,在神之下人人都是自由平等,不是吗?

Dust兄,无论是哭泣嚎啕的祷告,或忍着眼泪无声的祷告,我都不会坚持哪一种是最好的祷告。但就像Dust兄曾经说过的,我们在祷告里应该要坚持的是【只侍奉神和耶稣基督为我们的王】,我们愿受圣灵的差遣!不是【教皇】或只改变行像的【教会组织】当我们的王,当我们的神,命令我们只能向他们呼求,没有他们的准,我们不能听命于神的灵的差遣!
但愿我们能打破教会组织的迷思,如果神愿意的话,或许我们能返回【以色列王朝】之前的操作,或许再近一层,返回【巴别塔】之前的操作,或许更近一层,返回【属灵战争的第一战:蛇与夏娃之战】之前,没有犯罪的时刻,得回宝贵的神儿子身份与神联合的时刻!

真的,请同心奉主耶稣基督的名祈求!

主耶稣並没有叫我们建立教会组织, Lord Jesus did not mean to tell us to build a church organization

3/25/2012 published
3/30/2012 revised 修正
主耶稣並没有叫我们建立教会组织
Lord Jesus did not mean to tell us to build a church organization


摘引Dust的话:神沒有要我們在這世上建立全備的國度而是要我們做祂的見證,這些事不是需要靠組織(與組織內建的問題),要靠的昰聖靈給的能力(徒一8)。我們得打破這個組織的迷思,不是組織讓人接受福音,是聖靈,是耶穌,是神的救恩!不是組織,不是組織!

我想我完全明白Dust兄從圣经例子观察到的观点。我也相当同意我们必须打破教会组织的迷思。然而我原有的心意是想從圣经里寻找更具体的理由,看是否能找出主耶稣有没有命令我们要建立教会组织或不要建立组织?如果没有真理的根据和了解,我尽可能避免参与辩论,去探讨什么才是一个健全和良好的组织?比如说,我们应该凭什么样的基础标准去分辨,共产主义,或资本主义,或社会主义,哪一个主义比较好呢?这些主义都是人哲学思想的产品。人的思想都会有不完全的地方,因为大部份人想出来的或推论出来的主义,都是從一个还没有被证明的假设里推论出来的,並不是從一个定律里推论出来的。假设既然不能被证明,那從假设里推论出来的结论也只是个没有被证明的结论,不是吗?

让我再摘用Dust兄的另一句话:“創造人的主都給人自由意識去選擇”。因此在你还没有决定同意任何一个结论之前,请仔细查看呈现在你眼前所有的事实和证据,看看这结论是否是從一个没有被证明的假设中推论出来的。

我没有发表对【教会组织】不满的意见原因是主耶稣在马太福音说的一句话:【马太福音16:18 我还告诉你,你是彼得,我要把我的教会建造在这磐石上,阴间的权柄,不能胜过他。(权柄原文作门)】如果教会是主耶稣所要建立的,即使因为人为的因素或管理不得当(不是用最好的方法),我也会勉强接受,顶多尽自己的力量尝试去影响它朝向比较好和透明的组织架构,就好像同灵们在这论坛里所盼望的。

但我如今找到一位学者对“ECCLESIA”这希腊字的词源和文字随着历史上时间上慢慢的改变的意义。这原有文字的意义,也直接改变我对马太1618节的思想和了解。

让我重覆之前说过的:

 ECCLESIA”的词源

马太福音1618节原文的字不是“教会,church”,而是希腊文“ecclesia”。“Ecclesia”的意思不是“教会”。
希腊文“Ecclesia”定义为:“被呼召出来(者) [ECC = 出来out; KALEO = 呼召call]。可以说其定义是“被呼召出来聚集在一起的(集会,议会)”。
 
Wikipedia网络百科全书,希腊文“Ecclesia”的定义(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecclesia),是古代雅典黄金时期雅典人民的主要集会

大英百科全书也记录希腊原文“ECCLESIA”【相同】的定义,“被呼召出来聚集在一起的”;是古雅典人民的一个聚会
牛津字典也记录了相同的定义,“ECCLESIA是,聚会,教会”是從母词“呼召”演变出来的词语。

文字会随着时间而更改。但你可以看到,在主耶稣的时代,“ECCLESIA”这字的原本意思是,聚会, 或集聚,或被呼召出来的人民的集会。原文的意义,並不是好像今天我们所说的“教会”的意义一样。

圣经里有三处“ecclesia”翻译正确的地方

使徒行传19:32 聚集的人,纷纷乱乱,有喊叫这个的,有喊叫那个的,大半不知道为什么聚集

使徒行传19:39 你们若问别的事,就可以照常例聚集断定

使徒行传19:41 说了这话,便叫众人散去。

NKJV英文翻译本,都把以上三个经节的“ecclesia”翻译为“assembly(聚集)”。

從这三个经节呈现给我们一个证据,足以证明圣经学者也了解“ECCLESIA”这希腊字的意义。因此圣经学者,是昧着良心,把其他地方的“ECCLESIA”转换成完全不一样的字的。他们根本没有任何籍口可以为自己洗脱这“明知故犯”的罪名!

“教会,church”这字的词源和原意

“教会,church”是從古老英文和德文“kirche”演变而来。在苏格兰,被称为“kirk.

牛津字典列出词源:

词源:英文cir(i)ce, cyr(i)ce; 荷兰文kerk;德文 kirche;都是從中世纪希腊字kurikonkuriakon“主的家”,kurios“主人,主”演变而来的。

Kuriakos的词源是kurios,意思是“主”。Kuriakos的意思是“与主有关系的”。因此“教会,church”的意义应该是指“与主有关系的,或属于主的”。

马太福音1618节原文的字不是“教会,church”,而是希腊文“ecclesia”。“Ecclesia”的意思不是“教会”。这是非常可怕的错误,直接控制住读者的思考和了解。

最大的翻译误差

從文字的词源,你可以看出,圣经学者並没有遵照基本翻译规矩。其实,他们不是在翻译“ECCLESIA”这字,而是昧着良心,把它换成“KURIAOKOS”另一个不同意义的字。

知道这翻译的错,我们应该在读或研究圣经时,除了上面提到的三个经节之外,都应该把“CHURCH”换回原来的“ECCLESIA”, “一个主耶稣呼召出来,集聚的集会”

主耶稣並没有叫我们建立教会和教会组织

你可以看出希腊字“ECCLESIA”的意义不同于“KURIAKOS”。

研究圣经原文的词源和意义的改变,很清楚的告诉我们,主耶稣並没有要们徒建立教会或教会组织。或许,主耶稣把属于祂的人,從他们所处的地方,呼召出来,聚集在一起,在磐石上聚会。肯定的,彼得不是一般的磐石。彼得这磐石认识主耶稣是谁?彼得会传讲神要他说的话。我想磐石还有一个特点,那就是真理的所在地。(请参考:主耶稣要把他的教会建在磐石上

主耶稣呼召的意义

如果你從历史事件和主耶稣呼召,整个画面一起看的话,你可以体会主耶稣【呼召】的重要意义。或许主耶稣是想把属于祂的人,從罗马帝王的统治下呼召出来,成为一个独立的,自由的,可以自己决定重新选择【基督为王】而不是【罗马帝王为王】。这虽然是一个假设,但根据使徒们事工上的遭遇,这假设是有根有据的。让我们详细观察发生在使徒们身上的一些事件。

这是发生在保罗身上的事。(使徒行传17:6 找不着他们,就把耶孙和几个弟兄,拉到地方官那里,喊叫说,那搅乱天下的,也到这里来了。 17:7 耶孙收留他们。这些人都违背该撒的命令,说另有一个王耶稣。 17:8 众人和地方官,听见这话,就惊慌了。

保罗和巴拿巴到底做了什么事情竟可以【把天下搅乱了】?是不是因为保罗叫他们建立教堂?是不是保罗向他们收钱?都不是?是第七节说的,是因为保罗向他们传达【另有一王耶稣】的信息所造成的。因为这信息使到凯撒大帝非常不安,因为如果这些人听信保罗的信息,这些人就不会再遵凯撒为王,他就会失去对这些人的控制,命令和统治他们的权力。凯撒的地位是受到这信息的威胁。

同样的,你我看到的YM事件,当YM宣布说是【耶稣王】救了我们,YM是顺從主耶稣的吩咐真理,却因此触犯了教会的教条。YM这样的信息在罗马时代会使凯撒大帝不安,在今日也同样使到【教会王者】【教会最高组织】非常不安。因为如果我们听信这呼召,选择【耶稣王】为我们的王,那么教会组织就没有统治我们的力量。如果我们的眼睛变的明亮,看到【耶稣王】才是我们的王,我们就不会【眼睛盲目】地遵照遵奉【教会最高组织】立下的条规。教会组织的地位也同样受到威胁,不是吗?

耶路撒冷的会议“ECCLESIA

我相信耶路撒冷的会议是“ECCLESIA”的一个最好的例子。当时他们对“割礼”的实行起了很大的争论(使徒行传15章)。使徒和长老聚集在一起讨论这件事。这是一个聚会,不是吗?你可以從文中看到他们凴着真理在理论,真理的磐石上!每一个人都是同等的,没有一个人是高过另一个人的。唯一最高者,就是他们所信的神!

你说,如果我们中间有什么纷争,耶路撒冷的聚会,是不是我们可以仿效的最好例子?

使徒保罗所说的【ECCLESIA,集聚集会】的特点

提摩太前书3:14 我指望快到你那里去,所以先将这些事写给你。 3:15 倘若我耽延日久,你也可以知道在神的家中当怎样行。这家就是永生神的“ECCLESIA”,真理的柱石和根基。

有如使徒保罗的形容,我们是【永生神呼召集聚的一个集会】。换句话说,我们这集会不是凯撒大帝呼召的集会。在使徒保罗的眼中,这不是一个普通的集会。不是雅典人的集会。不是凯撒的集会。这是属于永生神呼召的集会。一个集会之所以能符合【永生神的集会】这称呼,至少这个集会一定要是属于永生神的,所侍奉的不是其他的王,而一定是【耶稣王】。
更加要知道的是,我们的集聚,是响应主耶稣的呼召组合而成的。这集聚的集会一定要建立在磐石上。这集会被称为【真理的柱石和根基】的原因如下:

(1)这集会是一根【高举主耶稣真理】的柱石

(2)这集会是一个【主耶稣真理】扎根生长发扬的地方

换句话说,如果这集会只遵守人的条规,条文和传统,那么这集会顶多只能配被称为【人条规的柱石】或【人条规的根基】。

这集会如果是单一独立的一个集会,是没有什么存在的价值的。因为单一的集会,本身並不是真理或神。这单一的集会,本身不能赐给任何人【永生】。只有神才能赐给人永生。阿门!

同样的,这一个集会(团体,身体)如果不是高举基督和基督所赐的真理的话,这集会就不配被称为【主耶稣的身体】。阿门!

因此,各位弟兄姐妹们,让我们在一起聚集集会时,使我们不要成为一根无用的柱石,但要成为真理的柱石。(这柱石,是真理支持者)(这根基,是真理扎根发扬的地方)(一个传扬【耶稣王】的地方)

建立“ECCLESIA,【主耶稣王】呼召的集聚集会”遭到破坏

回观历史事迹,我们可以看到凯撒大帝想以杀害基督徒的方法去阻止基督教运动失败了,不能因此而瓦解这聚会。罗马帝王君士坦丁比较聪明,他收拢基督徒成为基督徒的一份子,以罗马帝国的组织制度,把【聚会】组织成【教会】,【教皇成为基督徒的王】。教会的王不再是【耶稣王】,君士坦丁一手破坏了主耶稣的呼召


或许在教皇的统治下,表面上我们还是听到他们在传讲【信耶稣才能得永生】这句话,是的,这是一句永恒的真理。但是我们发现到,有很多天主教的教义是人定下的,根本不符合圣经里的真理。历史也告诉我们,那些传讲和教义不同的圣经道理的一些人,都被逼迫和烧死。

因此我们可以明白【教会】有很多理由和动机(受到天主教势力的影响),把【ECCLESIA,集会】更改为【KURIAKOS,教会】。是什么原因呢?因为这样,教会就名正言顺的成为一个合乎圣经的机构了,不是吗?这样【教皇】就永远是世世代代的基督徒的教皇。從那时起,基督徒被骗臣服在教皇之下,而不是耶稣王之下了。基督徒被骗,以为服从教皇的命令,无论是错的,这就是在服从基督的命令。

因为【ECCLESIA】被取代,我们读圣经的理解被另一个字的意义绑架了,不得要领。在加上历来教会把信徒洗脑,让信徒相信我们得救全靠教会。不知不觉的,信徒的直觉上以为【教会】就是【神】,不去教会就等于是遗弃神。大多数的基督徒【问问题的能力】无形中被剥夺掉,已经不懂得问:神真的是只出现在教会吗?【无所不在的神】不是充满万有和与我们同在,在我们的心中吗?我们不是以心灵和诚实敬拜神吗?那些心中遵神为王的人,无论你身处何方,无论你是养尊处优,或是上刀山入火海,无所不在的神都与你同在,你的王不离你左右,不是吗?那不是在挟制你的王,那是在扶助你的王,在神之下人人都是自由平等,不是吗?

你可以看到從古至今的教会,都是以【教皇制度】组成的。所以你我看到的【教会最高组织】,在形式上也一样的【成为我们的教皇】。教会最高组织一直在弃绝神的真理,他们高举的只是人所定下来的教会的教义。或许我们今天的教会比较仁慈,只是严禁信徒查考和教义有关的圣经经节。有谁提出和教义相反的理解,教会並没有把他处死,只是好意的叫他离开。他们只欢迎那些盲目遵奉他们的,不向他们查问为什么所传讲的道理不符合圣经的真理的信徒。所以不管是【天主教皇】或【教会最高组织】,他们所作所为都会耶利米书二章提到的【虚无的神】一模一样。

每个教会的组织都是循着这帝王制度组织成的,所以你我看到的就是君王的权力斗争;秀山或莆田,再加上韩国的开会停职事件,实质上就是权力斗争孵化出来的几场戏,是不是

现在是否是建立【永生神呼召集聚集会】的时候?

基本上,我只能把一切的资料列出来,让你查考,让你自己做决定,你要为主耶稣做什么事?

你是否愿意一起建立【主耶稣呼召集聚的集会】,一个只侍奉【耶稣王】的集会?

你是否愿意继续保留【依照君士坦丁所建立以教皇和教会组织为王】的教会?

以我所见,使徒保罗提到的奥秘已经向我们显明。在不信的人的眼中,这奥秘是愚拙的!在信的人的眼中,这是神的智慧!当你亲眼看到祂时,你知道祂就是【耶稣王】!我们能得着生命,是因为基督为我们死!

以我所见,神和主耶稣的全部真理,已经向我们显明和记载在圣经里。除了启示和主耶稣没有时间向门徒传讲的真理之外,只要你不遗漏有关联的经节,你就可以明白主耶稣的真理。唯一想提醒一下的,请大家千万不要断章取义,一定要看前后文和整幅图画,那真理的意义就在其中。我这样的提醒,是因为我发现到,在我们教会环境中,很多时候很多人传讲【不完整】【断章取义】的真理而不自知。


求神赐给我们,把神的智慧和聪明,放在我们心中,也放在我们的脑海中!阿门!


Quote from Dust’s article: “Lord God did not want us to establish perfect kingdom in this world, rather Lord God want us to be witness, to do this we don’t need organization (and the inherent problem it brings), what we need is the power given by the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8), we need to break free from this organizational myth, it is not the organizational allow people to receive the gospel, rather it is Holy Spirit, it is Jesus, it is God’s salvation! Not organization, not organization!

I fully understood Brother Dust’s viewpoint drawing from the biblical examples which he had observed. I do agree we need to break free from the organization myth. However, I am trying to seek a more concrete justification from the Bible and to find out whether Lord Jesus had told us to organize or not to organize? Without such basic information, I try not to involve in lengthy debate arguing that what kind of organization is better than the other. For example, on what basis we can argue whether which of the ideas, communism, or capitalism, or socialism is the best? Those ideas are derived merely from human’s philosophical thinking. Human’s thinking always contains flaw because it is most likely developed from an unproven hypothesis and not from a proven law. If the hypothesis cannot be proven, then the conclusion drawn from this hypothesis is also unproven. Isn’t it?

Let me quote Brother Dust again: “The God who created man allowing man to have the freedom to make his own choice”. Therefore, before you decide to agree with any of the conclusion, please make sure to look at all the facts and evidences presented and to see that such conclusion is not drawn from an unproven hypothesis.

I abstained from opining against having a church which commonly means [church organization] because of what Lord Jesus had said in [Matthew 16:18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. NKJV] If church is what Lord Jesus wanted, even if there is human factor and flaw in running the organization (not the best method), I will live with it but just trying to influence it heading towards a more proper and transparent structure, as many brethren had opinionated in this forum.

But since I have found the work from someone who had traced the etymological meaning of the word “ECCLESIA”, the original meaning of the original word used in Matthew 16:18, it has greatly impacted my thinking and understanding of what Lord Jesus had tried to tell us in this verse.

Let me quoted again what I had said:

Etymology of the word “ECCLESIA”

The original word is not the word “church” in the verse Matthew 16:18. It is the Greek word “ECCLESIA” which does not mean “church”.  

In Greek, ECCLESIA means [ECC = out; KALEO = call]. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecclesia),Ecclesia means the principal assembly of ancient Athens during its Golden Age.

Britannica Encyclopedia: Ecclesia, Greek Ekklēsia, (“gathering of those summoned”), in ancient Greece, assembly of citizens in a city-state. Its roots lay in the Homeric agora, the meeting of the people. The Athenian Ecclesia, for which exists the most detailed record, was already functioning in Draco’s day (c.621 bc). In the course of Solon’s codification of the law (c. 594 bc), the Ecclesia became coterminous with the body of male citizens 18 years of age or over and had final control over policy, including the right to hear appeals in the hēliaia (public court), take part in the ...

Oxford Dictionaries: Ecclesiastic, Origin: late Middle English: from French ecclésiastique, or via late Latin from Greek ekklēsiastikos, from ekklēsiastēs'member of an assembly', from ekklēsia'assembly, church', based on ekkalein'summon out'.

Therefore you can see that the word “ECCLESIA”, at the time when Lord Jesus used it, carries the meaning of an assembly, or a gathering or a meeting of the people who have been called-out or summoned-out. The word does not mean a church as we perceive today.

The three places where “Ecclesia” was translated correctly in the Bible

Acts 19:32 Some therefore cried one thing and some another, for the assembly ecclesiawas confused, and most of them did not know why they had come together. NKJV

Acts 19:39 But if you have any other inquiry to make, it shall be determined in the lawful assemblyecclesia. NKJV

Acts 19:41And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assemblyecclesianekkleesian. NKJV

The information tells us that at least the Bible Scholars who had translated the Bible knew the meaning of the Greek word “Eclessia”. Whatever reason they might have to replace all other “ecclesia” with a different word “kuriakos, church”, it was done with a conscientious mind. I believe the translator might not have any good excuse for misled the readers.

Etymology of the word “church”

The word “church” comes from the Old English and German word “kirche”. In Scotland, it was called “kirk”.

The Oxford Dictionaries (online version) stated that the origin of the word church as follows:

Origin: Old English cir(i)ce, cyr(i)ce, related to Dutch kerk and German Kirche, based on medieval Greek kurikon, from Greek kuriakon (dōma) 'Lord's (house)', from kurios 'master or lord'. Compare with kirk

You can trace that the meaning of "ku-ri-á-kos" is understood by its root: "kú-ri-os," which means "lord." Thus, "kuriakos" (i.e., "church") means "pertaining to the lord." It refers to something that pertains to, or belongs to, a lord. 

The Greek "kuriakos" eventually absorbed into the Old English form as "cirice" (kee-ree-ké), then "churche" (kerké), and eventually it evolved into the word "church" in its traditional pronunciation. A church, then, is correctly something that "pertains to, or belongs to, a lord." 

The big translation mistake

Hence you can see that the Bible scholars did not observe the basic rule of translation. Actually, the translators were not translating the word “ECCLESIA” according to its meaning. They had replaced the word “ECCLESIA” with another different word “KURIAKOS”.

So what we have read in the Bible translation, all the word church should be replaced by its original word “ecclesia” or “an assembly formed by people who had been called out by Lord Jesus.

Lord Jesus did not mean to tell us to build a church organization

You can see that the meaning of the Greek word “ECCLESIA” is not the same as the meaning of another Greek word “KURIAKOS”.
By studying the origin of a word and the historical development of its meaning, it becomes crystal clear that Lord Jesus did not mean to ask His disciples to build a church organization. Perhaps, Lord Jesus was calling His people to come out from where they were, to assemble together and to meet on this rock. Absolutely, Peter was not an ordinary rock. He was the rock that could recognize and know who Jesus was? He would say what the heavenly Father would want him to say. I think most importantly it is the rock that the Truths dwelled. (Please refer to the article: 主耶稣要把他的教会建在磐石上)

The significance of Lord Jesus’ calling

When you consider both the historical event and the timing of Lord Jesus’ calling together as a whole, the calling carries a very significant message. Lord Jesus must have wanted to call His people out setting them free from the rule of the Roman Empire, to be independence and to have the ability to decide whether they would like to be rule by King-Jesus instead of the Roman-king. This hypothesis has a strong basis in conjunction with the apostolic works. Let us go into the details with one of Apostle Paul’s incidences.

You can see what had happened to Apostle Paul when he tried to preach the same message in the book of Acts chapter 17. (Bible Quote: Acts 17:6-8 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out; “These who have turned the world upside down have come here too. 7 Jason has harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king — Jesus." 8 And they troubled the crowd and the rulers of the city when they heard these things. NKJV)

What did Paul and Barnabas did which turned the world upside down? Was it because Paul asked them to build a church building? Was it because Paul had collected money from the believers? None of the above! It was stated in verse 7. It was the message that Paul preached that “there is another King - Jesus” that got him into the big trouble because such message had troubled King Caesar. King Caesar was trouble by the fact that if the people did not recognize him as their king, he would lose control and command over the people; he would not be able to rule them anymore. King Caesar’s position was being threatened by the message.

Similarly, when YM declared that it is King-Jesus who saves us but not the church-king, he was obeying the truths given by King-Jesus but not the church’s rules and regulations. Such message which had trouble king-Caesar has trouble the church-king, the supreme organization. If we decide to choose King-Jesus as our king, the church organization will not be able to rule over us. If our eyes become clear and see King Jesus as our king, then we cannot blindly obey and conform to the rules set by the church supreme organization. The church-organization’s position was being threatened by the message.

The Jerusalem ECCLESIA

I believe the Jerusalem meeting was the first example of the “ECCLESIA”. There were disputes and misunderstandings about circumcision. (Acts 15) The apostles and elders came together to consider this matter. It is an assembly, isn’t it? You can see that they were reasoning out the differences basing on the principle of the Truths, the rock! Everyone was at equal level and no one was higher than the other. The only highest or supreme figure was God.
This should be the best example for us to be called out, assemble and reasoning out if there is any dispute amongst us, isn’t it?

The important characteristics of an ECCLESIA as described by Apostle Paul

(Bible Quote: 1 Tim 3:14-16 These things I write to you, though I hope to come to you shortly; 15 but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the ECCLESIAof the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. NKJV)

As Apostle Paul had described, we were the assembly of the living God. In other words, we were not an assembly of the Roman King. So in the eye of Apostle Paul, it was not just a typical assembly. It was not an assembly of Athens. It was not an assembly of king-Caesar. It was the assembly of the living God. Therefore for an assembly to be fit to be called as [the assembly of the living God], at least such assembly must belong to the living God and must serve no other King except our Lord God.

Furthermore, we were the assembly formed by the calling of Lord Jesus Christ. The assembly was to be built on this rock. The reasons the assembly were being described as “the pillar and ground of the truth” were as follows:

(1)   This assembly must be the pillar which was exalting the Truths given by Lord Jesus.

(2)   This assembly must be the ground where the Truths given by Lord Jesus strive.

In other words, if the assembly upheld only man-made rules and regulations and traditions, then the assembly at most would be called [pillar of men’s rules] or [ground of men’s rules]! 

The standalone assembly by itself has no value. The assembly itself is not the truth or God. The assembly itself cannot give eternal life to people. Only God can give you eternal life. Amen!

Similarly, the assembly is not the body of Christ if the body (as assembly) does not uphold Christ and Christ’s commandments. Amen!

Therefore, brethren and sisters please let us assemble together but let us make sure we will not become a useless pillar. Let us ensure we will become the pillar of Truth. (The pillar, which supports the Truth) (The ground, which the Truths rooted and spread out) (Preaching the message of King-Jesus)!

The plan to build an ECCLESIA ruled only by King-Jesus had been destroyed

Revisiting past history, we can see that Emperor Caesar failed to wipe out the Christian movement by martyring them. Emperor Constantine was smarter. He absorbed them by becoming one of them and helped to organized them following the Roman Empire structure so that Christians were ruled by another King-Pope instead of King-Jesus. As such, the ecclesia was not an assembly of the living God but it had become an assembly of King-Pope. Therefore, Roman Emperor Constantine had singlehandedly destroyed Christ’s calling.

Perhaps, under the rule of the King-Pope, you still hear the message “those who believe in Lord Jesus have eternal life” as the opening statement in any of their sermons. Yes, this statement is an eternal truth. However, we found out that many of the Catholic doctrines which were created by men were not from Bible Truth. Then we learn from the history that whoever had come out with a biblical understanding which was different from church doctrines would be persecuted and burned to death.

Therefore there must be a very good reason and motivation for church (influence by the power of Catholic Church) to replace “ECCLESIA” to a totally different word “KURIAKOS” reflecting “CHURCH” in the Holy Bible. Why? It was to make them appeared as a legitimate biblical organization so that King-Pope could still be your King-Pope in the foreseeable future. Since then, Christians have been made to live under different kingship instead of having Lord Jesus as their ONLY-KING. Christians have been cheated to think that by obeying whatever the king-Pope tells them to do irrespective it is right or wrong, they are obeying Christ’s command.

Therefore our understanding of the truth had been kidnapped by the wrong Bible translation. In addition, historically all churches had brainwashed the believers that church was the one who saved you like the God. Unwittingly, our gut-feeling tells us that [church] is [God]. Therefore if you do not go to church means you have rejected God. Most of the Christians have been robbed of the capability to ask sensible questions. Is it true that God only appears in church? Isn’t it that the omnipresent God filled all in all and He is also in your heart? Don’t we worship God in spirit and truth? For those preserved God as their King, no matter where you were, whether you were enjoying your life, or whether you were suffering and afflicting with transgressions, the omnipresent God were with you always. Isn’t it? God is not the King who controls you. God is the King who assists you. In the name of God, all are equal and free, isn’t it?

You can see that all the various churches formed in the past were evolved from the same King-Pope model. Similarly, the church organization structure which you and I have seen has become our King. The church organization continues to reject God’s Truths and they would only exalt the truths (church-doctrines) established by man. May be our church is kinder. Church-organization has just forbidding members from research into church-doctrines. Whoever comes out with biblical understanding which is different from church-doctrines will not be physically persecuted but will be suspended and asking to leave the church. They only welcome those who would blindly obey them and would not question them especially when they were not telling the Bible truth. Hence irrespective whether it is the Catholic Pope, or our supreme church organization, both are similar to the [idol] mentioned in the book of Jeremiah chapter two.


Therefore you can see that every church organization structure is formed in the image of the Roman Empire system. The struggle we saw was a typical political power struggle; [the incidence in 秀山], or [the incidence in莆田], in addition to YM’s suspension through the meeting conducted in Korea, in reality were the dramatic culmination of political power struggle, right?

Is it the time to form the assembly of the living God?

Basically, I show you the facts and you decide yourself what you will do for Christ?

Do you want the assembly called out by Christ which serves King-Jesus?

Do you want the church formed with the help of Emperor Constantine which serves King-Pope and King-Organization?

To me, there is only one mystery which has been revealed to us. To the unbelievers the mystery is foolishness! To the believers the mystery is wisdom of God! When you see him, you know that he is King-Jesus! We live because He had died for us!

To me, all the Truths from God and Lord Jesus have been made-known and recorded in the Bible. Except those apocalyptic passages and those Truths where Lord Jesus did not have time to disclose to His disciples, all the other Truths given by God can be understood by reading them within their context. Perhaps we should be careful that we should see a complete picture before we decide we have obtained a good understanding of God’s words. I would only emphasize this particular caution because I have noticed that out of context interpretation has become a norm in our church.


Pray to God that He will put the wisdom and understanding in our heart and in our mind! Amen!

点起高举真理的火把,Kindle the torch of Truths


杨昱民传道在3/20/2012-3/22/2012会议被联总们停职

哈利路亚,奉主耶稣圣名这篇感想!

(在文章里姑且称之为联总)

听闻世界总会和参加会议的各国代表过停职杨传道的议案,心里觉得非常悲痛,不仅是为杨传道悲痛,其实心里更为联总和参与的各国代表深感哀痛。理由是,这开会的结局告诉我们联总不仅不去细心体会各位同灵在论坛里苦口婆心要求联总和当事人凴公对质,却因自己的私欲和骄傲,反而利用论坛弟兄姐妹的言论,成为控告杨传道的罪状之一。联总的决定很明显的在向我们呐喊一个重要的信息。与此同时,他们也在不经意之间向所有的人透露了他们並没有凴证据就已经定人之罪。联总在他们意志清醒的状况下,犯下了一个连属世法庭都不愿犯的错误。

各位弟兄姐妹们,联总和各国代表,知法犯法地,毫不禁讳地,把他们所结下的恶果,在无所不在的神的面前,抛向我们的面孔上。或许他们以为当他们把他们硬着心结下的恶果抛向我们这些在论坛里发表言论和其他关心教会近况的信徒时,这恶果会重重的击打我们,使我们像老鼠般的躲藏起来,使我们臣服在他们的铁腕淫威之下。他们却不晓得当他们执行他们的决策时,无所不在的神,真的是无所不在的。他们其实是在向无所不在的神呈现他们厌弃神厌弃神的真理的决心。

这恶果告诉我们什么信息呢?

各位弟兄姐妹们,從联总的恶果,使徒约翰告诉我们说神的灵並没有在这些人的心中。他们利用谎言哄骗我们,使我们以为他们是信独一真神和主耶稣基督的,把他们选上了神的家的高位上。他们的薪水是從所有的信徒奉中得来的目的可以使他们有能力服侍这个团体。但非常讽刺的是,这些人却利用神的资源,颠覆破坏神的真理原则,甚至反对和破坏神的工。他们所结的果,很清楚的看到他们是向神吐唾沫侮辱了神的名。使徒彼得约翰说:“听从你们,不听从神,这在神面前合理不合理”?你们自己酌量吧

弟兄姐妹们,请不要哀哭!

我们可以非常悲痛,但请别哀哭!我相信我们的泪珠不会比神的泪珠大!我相信我们的感叹声,不会大过神的感叹声!

我们要相信,神已经给联总们机会,在聚会之前已经聆听到什么是神的真理。我们要相信,无所不在的神知道联总们是选择厌弃神的真理。

联总们的报告,是让我们看看他们的颜色,他们的手段,他们的威严。或许这个时候,他们抬着头高高的向下在看我们这些无助的可怜虫到底能做什么呢?所以,我们当联合起来共举真理的火把:

(1)第一,请在祷告中求主耶稣不要放弃联总们。请求神还是把他们当着是神的儿子。 因此求神向他们显明神还是在意他们所为,求神伸出管教儿子的手管教他们。主耶稣基督啊!请求你赐给他们显明的征兆,因为他们小信的信心,只能够相信看得和听到的。要不然,他们看不出征兆,还以为那只不过是感染了一个普通的病而已。神啊!求你使他们失声一个月,或眼睛瞎了一个月,或行你眼中认为更妥当的事。但请不要拿走他们的生命,使他们能有机会认错悔改向你祈求赦免!

(2)第二,请停止供应钱财给这些人继续去生产恶果。或许他们已经因收集太多钱财致使他们开始事奉玛门而忘记事奉主耶稣基督。

(3)第三,暂时停止去教会聚会,但是却要在你的心里以心灵和诚实敬拜神(约翰421-24.时候将到,如今就是了。你不是在山上或耶路撒冷敬拜神,所以无论是在【山上的教会】或【耶路撒冷的教会】,这些地方不是神在意我们要敬拜祂的地方。神在意的是,你有没有以你的心灵去敬拜祂。我们的神是无所不在的神。你如果以你的心灵敬拜神,无论你身在何处,神必在你的心中与你同在。主耶稣基督在四福音书里,只在马太16:18节提过一次“教会”这词。但各为弟兄姐妹们,不知是什么原因,这翻译是错误的翻译。原文本来是“ECCLESIA”不是“CHURCH”。“ECCLESIA”的意思是众人的聚集聚会(大英百科全书),所以这是主耶稣呼召出来的聚会。所以主耶稣並没有命令我们要建立教会组织,只呼召我们聚集聚会在磐石上。(以后会和大家分享ECCLESIA带来的理解)。分辨哪一个是主耶稣所喜悦的聚会的磐石或地方,最重要的条件就是这磐石有没有遵从主耶稣的真理命令。一个没有真理的教会和一个庞大的购物中心比较起来,並没有好到哪里去。因此,你不必去购物中心聚会,却只需要以心灵和诚实敬拜神。换句话说,只要你心里有神的真理,你可以在任何地方任何时候敬拜神;因为有神真理的地方,神就在那里。

(4)第四,在没有必要时,你无需向那些不敬畏神的党派,揭发你的身份地位。隐藏你自己,好像神隐藏着属于神的七千不曾向巴利屈膝的精兵一样。

神只祝福对祂有信心的人,神不会祝福厌弃祂的人

大部份的以色列人厌弃神作他们的王(撒母耳记上8章),有少数的以色列人还是遵神为王的。所以在以色列人立王之后,我们还是看到神祝福那些有【信心】的以色列人。可惜的是,我们往往以为神是在祝福那些厌弃他的以色列人,以为在神的眼中,厌弃神是对的行为,因为神在祝福那厌弃祂的人。醒醒吧,不是这样的。所以不要因为神在TJC祝福那些对神非常有信心的弟兄姐妹,就头脑简单的结论说,神是在祝福TJC教会,神是在祝福那厌弃神和厌弃神的真理的联总和参与会议的各国代表们。醒醒吧,不是这样的。

同灵们,请举起真理的火把,让神的真理再一次的照耀所的人,包挂那些对神有信心的,或对神没有信心的。

IA suspended Preacher YM Yang during 3/20/2012-3/22/2012 Executive Council Meeting

Halleluiah, in the name of Lord Jesus I write!

Hearing the news that IA and the meeting attendees had made an unanimous decision to suspend Preacher YM Yang, my heart feel sorrowful, not so much for Pr Yang, but more so for the IA executive committee members and the meeting attendees (THEY). My reason is that THEYdid not heed to the calling from this forum to settle the differences face to face basing on proper evidences with each of the parties. Instead, THEY had chosen to slam the kind-calling from members around the world with THEIR stubbornness and self-pride by using the calling as one of THEIR justification to suspend Pr Yang. THEIR action spoke aloud onto our faces and it meant a lot to me. At the same time, THEY had inadvertently shown us that THEY had convicted Pr Yang with an accusation without proper evidences. Consciously, THEY had committed a mistake even a secular court would not have committed.

Brethren and sisters of TJC, the IA executive committee members and the world delegates attending the meeting, had bluntly thrown onto our faces the FRUIT THEY had produced right in front of the present of the omnipresent God. THEY might have thought that by showing us THEIR FRUIT of action, it would give everyone of us in the forum and those readers who care for church’s affairs an unprecedented heavy blow, sending everyone of us into hiding and would became more submissive to THEIR iron-fisted rule. But in carrying out THEIR action, THEY might have forgotten the omnipresent God who was with them and THEY had shown us that THEY had rejected, God and God’s compassion and justice, outright.

What message can THEIR FRUIT tell us?

Brethren and sisters, from THEIR FRUIT, Apostle John told us that THEY do not have the Spirit of God in THEM. THEY had lie to every one of us that THEY believe God and Lord Jesus Christ so that THEY could be elected into the high office of the house of God. THEY have been paid to serve the organization using all members’ contribution to God. But ironically THEY have used this precious financial resource to undermine the principle of Truths and to work against God. THEIR FRUIT had clearly told us that THEY were spitting on the face of God. Apostle Peter and John once said: “Is it right in the sight of God to listen to man more than to God”? You judge!

Don’t cry, brethren and sisters!

Be sorrowful, but do not cry brethren and sisters! I believe our tear-drop will not be bigger than God’s tear-drop! Do not sigh, brethren and sisters! I believe our sigh would not be louder than God’s sigh!
Believe it that God has given THEM the chance to hear His Truths before the meeting. Believe it that God knows THEY had chosen to reject God’s Truths.

So IA executive council members and church world delegates had put the ball into our court. THEY are most probably looking down at us to see what else could the helpless us can do! So let us kindle up the torch of the Truths:

(1)   Firstly, please pray that Lord Jesus will not give up on those IA executive council committee members and the world delegates attending the meeting. Please pray that God still treat THEM as God’s children. As such, please pray to God to show to THEM that God still care for THEM and therefore showing THEM the disciplinary action God is going to bestow on HIS sons. Oh, my Lord Jesus Christ! Please show them with very clear signs because THEIR faith could only allow THEM to believe what THEY can see and hear. If THEY cannot see that the discipline is from YOU, THEY might think that they have just contacted a common illness. So please God, takes away THEIR voice for a month, or take away THEIR eyesight for a month, or in whatever way that pleases YOU. But please do not take away THEIR life so that THEY can realize THEIR blunt mistake and have the chance to ask for YOUR forgiveness.

(2)   Secondly, please stop paying those people into producing more bad FRUIT. THEY might have accumulated too much money that might have tempted THEM to serve mammon instead of Christ.

(3)   Thirdly, stop going to church and instead worship God with your heart in spirit and truth. (John 4:21-24) The hour has come; you worship God neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem. So be it that it is a mountain-church building, or a Jerusalem-church building, it is not the place God wants you to worship HIM. God cares if your worship HIM in your heart or not. God is omnipresent. If you worship God in your heart, no matter where you are at and in your heart God is present! The only place that Lord Jesus mentioned about church is in Matthew 16:18. But brethren and sisters, for some reason, the word “church” was a wrong translation. The original word is “ECCLESIA” which means an assembly of people (Encyclopedia Britannica) whom Lord Jesus has called out. So Lord Jesus did not command us to build a church-organization, but to assemble and worship him on the rock. (I will have more to share with the word ECCLESIA). The most crucial criteria to discern which is the right-rock hinging on whether the rock is the place that observes the principle of the Truths or not. A place without God’s Truths is not any better than a shopping mall. So you need not to go to a shopping mall to worship but worship God within your heart in spirit and truth; in other words, you can worship God in any place at any time because you have the Truths in you. Wherever the Truths of God exist, it is where God is!

(4)   Fourthly, stop exposing yourselves unnecessarily to the ungodly gang. Stay put as the seven thousand God’s soldiers whom had never bent their knees to Baal!

God only bless those who have faith in Him and does not bless those who rejected Him

Most of the Israelites had rejected God to be their king as stated in 1 Samuel chapter 8. Some of the Israelites who could not turn against the majority might still keep God as their king in their heart. Therefore we are still seeing that God continued to give blessing to them because of their faith. But please do not be fool into thinking that the blessing God gave to those who kept Him as their king was also blessing those who had rejected God. Please wake up! God does not bless those who had rejected Him!

Therefore, when you see that God has blessed those who have faith in Him, please do not simply think that God is blessing TJC church. Please do not simply think that God is blessing those (IA executive members and world delegates) who had rejected Him and His Truths. Please wake up! It does not mean in such way!

It is time to hold up the torch of the Truths. Let the Truths shine over all people, inclusive of those who have faith and those who do not have faith.
