约翰福音6:1-15

b4 we go into the discussion,let us understand 2 things 1st:
1.创造:从一个不存在的东西变成有的东西。 from nothing, came out something.
2.制造:从一个有的东西变成另一个东西(变形,变质)一个东西加工后,变成了一个产品。

这观点就连Plato都没明白的。Plato指名Demiurge借用了宇宙的material来制造了整个世界。

另外,creator is provider Himself. the minute the Creator stop creating, is the moment whr the creator become the provider, to sustain the balance of His creation. 父做事到如今,子也是……(约5)
He sustain the world until now...

in chapter 5, Jesus told 门徒 tat God Father until now stil havnt stop working, and so do Jesus.
in chapter 6, He manifest that and shows that how the work is done.

in chapter 6, one of the teaching oso shows that creation is also from nothing create something, its a qualitative changes that only God Father can make it. 从一个人吃的,变成5千人吃的分量。这是分量上的的等次改变。而不是物质上的等次变化。

multiplying is the work of creating not the work of making. the quality changes is the changes from 无变成有。 in this, it confirm that what Jesus say in chapter 5 in chapter 6. everything God the Father can do, Jesus can do too. from healing, the work of redemption, 创造能,等……
with His infinite power, He create something finite...从一个有限的东西,看出无限的的能力。juz like atm bomb. atom bomb eventhu it look small, but the power of the bomb was unpredictable.. and thisis a veli precise example.

from matter become energy can be done by every human, the moment we eat, the food become the energy tat we use; in contrast, from energy become matter, is nvr done by anyone in this world. evnthu a lot of ppl let out the energy, there is nvr can a bread create out of it.

Einstein's biggest contribution is that he found out the relationship between the matter and the energy.
E=MC2 E=energy, M=mass, C=energy of light. we knw that e=mc2, it shows that the matter become energy is possible, hw bout we try to change the equation so that we can see the relationship between the matter and the energy in another way. E/c2 = m; it'z impossible for human to create energy with co-relation of speed of light to create matter. evn can, c how much the energy need to create jz 1 matter. im so express whn realise that Jesus can create tat much energy to reate the bread out of nothing. 1 atom bomb can explode to create the unpredictable energy, bt aftr the explosion, it cannot turn back into an atom bomb again.

Jesus done miracle of feeding the crowd twice, it shows that Jesus does not done it coincidently bt it's work of God.

in chapter 6, Jesus told the 门徒 to collect all the rest biscuit back, this is the story whr the "打包“start.Jesus did not collect the fish bone, or left fish meat. he knew that the fish might nt be suitable to be eaten. bt nt wif biscuit. He did not waste the food that left, this teach us that who become the worker of God should learn to keep the left, so we can have some needs to be need to, or to bless others who need it... bt nt to waste it.

man is the only creature that can respond towards grace (we gt 神的形象) 但是,现在人只想要神的恩典,而不要给恩典的神。 很多年轻人常说:my ideal, bt nt the ideal me; 看重的都是我的”完美“,而没去想”理想“得我。 in chapter 6, they respond to God and wanna push Him to become the king. they bare in mibnd tat if Jesus become the kind, there wil be no starvation and the kingdom wil be 复兴。 Jesus knw that these ppl opnly believe Him as they need can be meet. " u feeed me, i believe" but Jesus did not show any interest in become king. because He himself already the king. it'z kind hard to make me understand, a man tat can feed thousands crowd tat do not want to become the world king, and that's our Lord, Jesus Christ.

a meaningful email i receive tis morning....

身为一名基督教会的牧师,当我听见中马的三间教会被不法分子,借助不满“阿拉”被高庭判为共用的神圣名字,而放火烧基督教会。

这真是马来西亚立国以来,少见的企图欺人太甚,狂妄无知的作恶行为。

心中升起了一阵悲痛与愤怒。过了一会,感觉要为这样的事祷告,心中求主赦免行这恶事的人。

当选择要为这样的人祷告时,心中的忿怒开始转换成赦免与饶恕。

遇见这样令人痛心的事,众基督徒们,让我们靠主的恩典力量来胜过忿怒的情绪。

主内弟兄姐妹,让我们本着耶稣基督教导我们的真理,来看待与回应教会被烧的事件。

主曾为罪人祷告说:父阿,赦免他们,因他们所做的事,他们不知道。

又记念使徒保罗的教导:亲爱的弟兄,不要自己伸冤,宁可让步,听凭主怒;

因为经上记著:“主说:‘伸冤在我;我必报应。’”所以,“你的仇敌若饿了,就给他吃,若渴了,就给他喝;因为你这样行就是把炭火堆在他的头上。”你不可为恶所胜,反要以善胜恶。罗12:19-21

让我们思考主耶稣所赐给教会的新命令:

约翰一书3:11 我们应当彼此相爱。这就是你们从起初所听见的命令。

约翰一书3:16 主为我们舍命,我们从此就知道何为爱;我们也当为弟兄舍命(放下自己)。

约翰一书3:23 神的命令就是叫我们信他儿子耶稣基督的名,且照他所赐给我们的命令彼此相爱

让我们举起圣洁的手,为那逼迫我们的人祷告。重建教堂的事小,失去基督已赐我们怜恤的性情事大;

讨厌那作恶的事小,失去爱人的人心事大。指责那无知的事小,失去爱邻舍的心事大。

记得我们欠了最大末得之民福音的债,他们都在福音的门外,是时候我们醒悟,是时候要为他们的得救的恩典代求。主里同勉。

奉圣父,圣子,圣灵的名,阿门。

" Allah" or nt???

yesterday i jz receive news bout the burned of the three church at the place whr i study, there's evn gt one church is jz the road whr i lived. the issue elicited me to think bout the " Allah" thing.. this issue is continue a issue that a church and Christian newspaper in Malaysia are suing the government after it decreed that the word "Allah" can only be used by Muslims.

according to the sociology, they claimed that the term 'Allah' was used to refer to God by Arabic-speaking Christians before Arabic-speaking Muslims existed. if really want to proclaim the issue on the "Allah" thing, they are fighting for a hollow issue, which what we can say fighting for nothing.. Church officials say that although the word Allah originated in Arabic, Malays have used it for centuries to refer generally to God, and Arabic-speaking Christians used it before Islam was founded, reports the BBC's religious affairs correspondent Robert Pigott. (quote from BBC news)

i wonder sometimes,is the "Allah" issue had become the political or tribe issues. from the view of the outsiders, it is struggle with just a single words, it's sounds funny but it does not really make sense if the muslims won in the "Allah" issues. if they won, will that change the situation, will make them love their "Allah" more? and how they conduct the secure of other ppl not saying "Allah" word? people cannot stop the language spread,cannot control other ppl ,they have no rights to do it, evn God also give people the freedom to speak. and hw they caught? spoke public? caught on radio? hw can a people control a people's mouth to speak? it's funny...
if the "Allah" term they believe is a true God, will it effect if use by other religions? will they "Allah" change in the qualitative?

i have a lot of question in my mind pondering around thinking wat is going on... dunno a lot of things.. this is jz something frm me, i hope anyone can read understand wat am i writing...
