Lecture 1. Pt2. A DIVINE EVENT 神圣的事件(2)
But you are destined to enter the world of which I speak. It is eternal and cannot be entered with a body of flesh and blood, but requires a new body. So unless what you sow dies, it cannot be made alive. And what you sow is not the body which is to be, but God (who is yourself) gives you a body as he has chosen. It is a glorious body of power and wisdom and called the body of Christ. It is worn as you would a garment, only you are in control of your power through your innate wisdom... a wisdom to which no doubt is attached. This proclamation is not discovered by some rational argument. The gospel is not discovered, it is disclosed. It is not something you can logically prove, but a self-revelation of God. Scholars can study the life and teachings of Jesus until the end of time but never find in the study who the Father or the Son is. If they did, they would not tamper with the Bible.
但你注定要进入我所说的世界,这个世界是永恒的,不能用血肉之躯进入,而是需要一个新的身体。所以除非你种的种子死了,否则它就不能活。你们所种的种子,不是将来的身体,乃是神所拣选的把身体。这是荣耀的身体,充满力量和智慧,这具身体称为基督。你穿它就像穿一件衣服,只有你能通过你与生俱来的智慧来控制你的力量。这是一种毫无疑问的智慧。这个宣言不是由某种理性的论证发现的。福音不是人们发现的,乃是自行显露的。这不是你能从逻辑上证明的,而是上帝的自我启示。学者可以持续研究耶稣的生平和教义直到世界末日,但从来没有在研究中找到谁是圣父或圣子。如果他们知道,就不会篡改圣经。
