有人話天主教徒可食肉是因創世紀9章3節說明。可是,又有些說不可吃肉的根據是引用創世紀1章29~30節。當中說明只吃蔬菜。我再看番聖經1章29~30節是創世時;而9:3是洪水滅世後,天主重新與人立約。是否因天主知道人性可惡後,對人讓步,所以於重新立約時,許可人吃肉?
In John’s Gospel today, he mentioned that “…Jesus healed many who were sick with various diseases …” Why did not Jesus cure everyone there together, vs individually? I truly believe Jesus has that power in curing everyone at once. This passage, however, leads me to “see” that Jesus were tired or worn out after curing all these people “individually” – one-by-one. Am I misreading the Word of God somewhere? Your kind guidance is very much needed. Thank you Fr. Francis. God Bless you Fr.
耶穌在約旦河受洗,天開了,當時還有其他人在場,他們都看到了嗎? 也都聽到了天父的聲音嗎?若有,但沒有傳出去?若沒有,只有耶穌自己知其意思?大博爾山顯聖容,是否只想堅定三位宗徒的心? 為日後回憶起來,更堅信耶穌是天主子?
耶肋米亞先知書 25:8-12提到,「為此,萬軍的上主這樣說:由於你們不聽我的話,看,我必遣人召來北方的一切種族 - 上主的斷語 - 和我的僕人巴比倫王拿步高來進攻這地方…」顯然巴比倫是上主的“僕人”,是聽從上主的話去行事,但為甚麼到最後,「但是,一滿了七十年,我必要懲罰巴比倫王和這民族的罪惡。」 竟然會受到上主懲罰呢?
When one reads the gospel aloud, must we say “The gospel of the Lord” or ” The word of the Lord” towards the end?
When Jesus predicted Peter’s denial, He also said “You will all fall away”. But if John was at the cross with Jesus, how did he fall away?
On Holy Thursday, I remember the gospel reading of John 13:27, it says after Judas received the piece of bread, Satan entered him: how can that be possible when Jesus has given him the bread ( body of Christ) ?! I felt really puzzled about it, I thought with Jesus in you, the devil should have no chance!
『出谷紀』12:1-14 這樣記載:“這一夜我要走遍埃及全國,將埃及國一切首生,無論是人是牲畜都要殺死,對於埃及的眾神,我也要嚴加懲罰:我是上主”。請問這裡指的「埃及的眾神」是否指作者自己的推理有別的神;還是教會教導宇宙的而且確有其他的神存在?
