神爱世人，怎么还有地震、天灾？

被人问神爱世人，怎么还有地震、天灾？

2008-05-15 20:58:42 　　来自: 渓辺樹 (上海) 　　2008-5-15 20:18:01 Ki:首先，上帝对人是有爱存在的。 　　2008-5-15 20:18:13 Elle: 那么地震呢 天灾是惩罚么 　　2008-5-15 20:19:26 Ki:有作为惩罚而来的天灾，但是并不是说所有的天灾就一定是惩罚。这次的地震我不知道。而且我这觉得这地震是苦难，不是惩罚。 　　2008-5-15 20:19:56 Elle: 那今年的苦难也太多了 　　2008-5-15 20:20:45 Ki:人在世上，总是会有个样的苦难的。如何看待苦难，如何从苦难里面走出来，或许才是要从上帝那里寻求来的东西。 　　2008-5-15 20:21:11 Elle: 难道说是天将降大人于斯人，必先苦其心志么。。。 　　2008-5-15 20:21:06 Ki:你读过《约伯记》吗？ 　　2008-5-15 20:21:17 Elle: 没有。。。 　　2008-5-15 20:21:27 Ki:就是讲一个好人富翁约伯的事情 。他是听上帝旨意的人 可是，魔鬼去控告他，说他是因为上帝赐给他的财富才听上帝话的。于是，上帝允许魔鬼去试探他 　　2008-5-15 20:22:44 Elle: 这样啊 那么灾难是来检验人的？ 　　2008-5-15 20:24:07 Ki:我不知道这次是什么。我继续讲故事。魔鬼去试探他结果害他家破人亡资财散尽 　　2008-5-15 20:25:02 Elle: 。。。go on...

"If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." - 2 Chron. 7:14

for he has no light vs. there is no light in him

During our bible study cell group meeting last Friday, I shared John 11:1~45 with the group. This particular verse is very interesting:
9Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours of daylight? A man who walks by day will not stumble, for he sees by this world's light. 10It is when he walks by night that he stumbles, for he has no light." (New International Version)
Sounds pretty straight forward huh? but I was prompted to cross-refer this verse with another version of the bible:

9Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 10But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him. (King James Version)

To me, the last sentence of verse 10 differs greatly between these two versions of bibles. I am more inclined to accept King James Version, having related it to the context of John 11:1~45 which is about faith. We depend on the light of "this world" is like we are depending on our sight. Faith is from within, just like the light in us, we won't stumble even if we face difficulties along our journey of life.

The People's Hearts

When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice;
when the wicked rule, the people groan.
~Proverb 29:2

The King's Heart

The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD; he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases. ~Proverbs 21:1

Bless and be Blessed.

Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil.
This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.
Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops;
then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.
~ Proverbs 3:7-10
