超短基版FAQ - 英譯工程

是次英譯工程,是希望把本FAQ推廣到外國。惟我少讀書,英文不好,望各版友不吝賜教。
超短基版FAQ

前言

關於基督教的辯論,文章又長又多,本人以數年上基版經驗,彙編一系列FAQ,但是以超簡短形式的問答,希望大家能用很短的時間,來了解/誤解基督教。

當然,簡短是不太可能很完整地解釋的,本文的宗旨亦非如此;反而是想激發大家思考,而不至於盲目接受某些思想灌輸。

The Very Short Christianity
Frequently Asked Questions

Foreword

There are plenty of lengthy articles debating on Christianity.  To help you understand / misunderstand Christianity quickly, I compiled some FAQs in a very short form.

I cannot include full explanations here because it is a "very short" FAQ, and this is not my intention either. What I am trying to do is to inspire you to contemplate rather than being indoctrinated with some prescribed ideologies.

Note: Hyperlinks in this FAQ will take you to other websites maintained by their webmasters. Contents of these websites do not reflect the positions or opinions of this FAQ.

沙文你真精雕細琢~
支持鼓勵每位離教者 › 閹割神父 刻不容緩 ‹
原句「不是要我去學希臘文、希伯來文吧?」含有「唔通要我去學咩」的含義。的確,信下教就要去學兩種古文,是離譜丫嘛。這「唔通」的意思用英文表達,是否應用negative interrogative呢?

因此前句「Who has the 100% precise translation of all scriptures?」已有inspire讀者思考的意思,後句「不是要我去學希臘文、希伯來文吧?」是用以表達因現存沒有無誤譯本的荒謬。

要我放棄呢題實害死人,好多人浪費自己光陰去睇完成本爛書,你情何以堪呀?

But you'll never fully understand Revelation unless you have read through Daniel, Isaiah, and Ezekiel. It all begins to come together when you read the Word of God in its entirety.

你的比喻怪怪的,總覺得是你個人的人生寫照~

有一說法是閱讀爛書使人更快離教:http://www.patheos.com/blogs/jes ... one-an-atheist-rjs/

如果據此理論,就應鼓勵人讀經,此條應該刪去才對。

如果用不同版本的爛書來大佢,你覺得點?

Have you read every version of the bible?

關於基督徒

問:信主的人得喜樂。〔五旬節會的「聖笑」〕
答:吃迷幻藥的人也比較開心,但這都不是高水準的快樂來源。

問:信者上天堂,不信者下地獄。
答:該信哪個宗教的神?信錯神也會下地獄的!

問:信主的人有明確的人生目標/沒有神就沒有人生意義。
答:人生的意義各人不同,是靠自己去賦與意義與努力爭取,而不是像傀儡或奴隸般時時刻刻「榮耀神」。

問:信主的人要謙卑、順服,並要常常榮耀神、讚美神。
答:神原來很喜歡別人的讚美,跟歷史中暴君的特性一樣。

問:做壞事的都不是真正的基督徒。
答:基督徒的身分就是「因信稱義」,還有分甚麼真正的、虛假的?

問:基督徒不是聖人,樹大有枯枝。
答:當神職人員也做出不道德的事時,那代表「樹幹、樹根」也枯了。

問:牧師也是人,難免也會犯錯。
答:教會是上帝的身體,牧師是上帝的代言人,有責任做好見證,不能卸責。﹝基督教新聞/醜聞收集﹞

問:基督徒的行為不代表基督教思想的好壞。
答:思想本身並無好壞,但思想影響行為,以行為衡量思想是合理的。

問:這是人的問題,不是神的問題。
答:既然基督徒有這麼多問題,請不要再向人傳教了。

問:教會只不過是一眾蒙恩罪人所組成,不值得因為人為問題而放棄上帝永生的恩典。
答:你死後將繼續與這班你不想見的「罪人」在天堂重聚,並且永遠不能逃脫。

問:十一奉獻是信徒的本分。
答:這不是聖經的教導,而是教會因應財務需要從聖經「引申」出來的傳統。〔十一奉獻、The Tithe-NOT!〕

問:信徒尋覓伴侶一定要找信徒,那便可在天國再會。
答:如未死的一方再娶/嫁,天堂將有三角關係。

問:「信與不信不能同負一軛」,所以信徒不可和非信徒拍拖/結婚,否則亦會因價值觀不同和而產生相處問題。〔一軛論〕
答:(1) 聖經沒有指明限於男女關係;難道教徒不會與非教徒做生意嗎?〔聖經角度〕
  (2) 男女雙方的價值觀本身都有很大差異,要相近嘛,不如就搞同性戀吧。

問:不信者下地獄,如未曾接觸過福音者,則視乎在世時的行為。
答:傳福音好比四處下毒,假如不吃解藥(不信教)便會中毒身亡(下地獄),所以應正名為「傳禍音」。

問:我是基督徒,但我就不會這樣做,不要一竹篙打一船人。
答:你能代表所有基督徒嗎?你能否定這是出現在基督徒之中的普遍現象嗎?

About Christians

Q: Christians rejoice in the Lord. [ Pentecostal Church's "holy laughter" ]
A: Dope-addicts are also happier.  But it is not the source of happiness in high quality.

Q: Believers go to heaven, and all non-believers go to hell.
A: Which religions' gods should I believe?  Believing the wrong god will also go to hell!

Q: Believers live with purpose and mission in life / Life without God is meaningless.
A: The meaning of life varies from person to person.  it is endowed by oneself to strive for, rather than murmuring "thank God" all the time like puppets or slaves.

Q: Believers should be humble and subject, and should always glorify and praise God.
A. God wants to be praised so badly, sharing the same characteristics of tyrants in history.

Q: Those who do evil deeds are not real Christians.
A: Christians' identity is "being justified by faith".  What's the point to distinguish between the real and fake ones?

Q: Christians are not saints.  There's a black sheep in every flock.
A: When the clergies also behave immoral, it means the whole flock is turning black.

Q: Priests are also human.  Mistakes are inevitable.
A: The church is the body of Christ, and the priests are spokesmen for God, who have the responsibility to be a good witness and must not shirk responsibility.

Q: Christians' behavior does not represent the goodness or badness of Christianity thought.
A: The thought itself is neither good nor bad.  But the thought influences behavior.  So measuring a thought by the corresponding behaviors is reasonable.

Q: It is man's problem, not God's.
A: Since Christians have so many problems, please refrain from preaching anymore.

Q: The church is just a group of sinners saved by grace, and it isn't worth to give up eternal life of God's grace because of man-made problems.
A: And you will continue to gather again in heaven with this group of "sinners" whom you don't want to meet - and you can never escape.

Q: Every believer has the duty of tithing.
A: It is not from the Bible's teaching, but a tradition "explained" from the Bible by churches in the light of the financial needs. [ Tithe , The Tithe-NOT! ]

Q: Believers must look for Christian mates so that they can meet in heaven.
A: The remarried widows or widowers will result in relationship triangle in heaven.

Q: "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers", therefore believers and non-believers must not love or marry together, or they will not get along well due to different values.
A: (1) The Bible does not specify that this only applies to man-woman relationship. Will believers reject non-believing business partners?
(2) The values between men and women are quite different.  It should have more similar values for same-sex relationships.

Q: Unbelievers go to hell, except for those who have never encountered the gospel, and they will depend on their behaviors during lifetimes.
A: Spreading the gospel / good news is like spreading poisons.  Those who do not eat antidotes (not believe) will be poisoned to death (go to hell).  So it should be renamed as "bad news".
Q: I am Christian, but I won't behave like that.  Please don't tar me with the same brush.
A: Can you represent all Christians? Can you deny this is a common phenomenon among Christians?
