說我們的一切都透過聖母奉獻給耶穌/直接由聖體聖事奉獻給耶穌;好的固然很「安心」的奉獻,但不明白為何連最不好的,缺失,軟弱以至大罪小罪都可以奉獻?對待朋友,都不會把已敗壞或將近過期的食物款待朋友,總是會給最好最新鮮的….更何況是耶穌呢?為何可以把一切不好的,壞的都可以奉獻?
My son recently told me he is a gay. I’ve been struggling with the pain myself as well as how I should react to him so that it won’t hurt our relationship. I have been asking God to forgive me and my son. I am very against the gay relationship, it’s not God’s plan.
God is omnipotent so shouldn’t He have done something more impressive than just sacrifice Himself all the while knowing He will be raised from the dead anyway? Maybe He took the only way to save us and the goal was not to impress us?
為何天主要創造我們人類,卻要我們受這麼多考驗,如果不聽從衪就要下地獄受永罰?有時候不太知道生存的意義,會無限陷入一種負面情緒,我是相信衪,但我不明白到底為了什麼要這樣活著?怎麼能讓自己發自內心的敬畏衪?
自初戀以來,我就是和同性一起,因為感到比較安全,及自在,和男性一起,總是不能舒暢,和接受他們。但也因為知道天主教不接受同性戀,糾結了好多年,近年,終於我也領洗了。好想問,這傾向是天主給我的,為何真心愛人也有錯?這令我很有罪惡感。連告解也不敢提。因我現在有固定伴侶,沒有濫交,不想也不忍離開她,不知怎樣好。你可給我些意見嗎?
I am curious, this ‘praying to saints’. The Bible teaches to be absent the body is to be present with Christ. And we also learn that Christ is at the right hand of God the Father. So, wouldn’t they be in awe of the presence of God? Also, many people ‘pray to Mary’, but Mary is an individual. Even assuming she would not be in awe of God, but be looking at Earth, how could she hear it all? This seems to ascribe Godly attributes to created beings. Angels can’t be everywhere at once either.
最近我在讀迦拉達書和羅馬書,讓我心中升起一個疑問。當初保祿勸誡迦拉達人,遵從猶太人的法律(割損)並非得到天主恩寵的必要。在梅瑟法律內,明文規定著許多的不准及必須…,對照現在的天主教會,在慕道班裡,我們也學習到許多的不准及必須…(例如十誡及教會四規..)…這讓我覺得自己似乎又將被另一套法律所捆綁
如果一位在生的教友依照教會的「規矩」作了、然後把「全大赦」送給其他人,是不是等於對方(他/她)一定會收到呢?我知道如果送給自己、就等於天主會把自己的「罪罰」全給赦免的。最近我婆婆往天家去了,我想把「全大赦」送給婆婆、我不肯定婆婆是否會收到呢?
In John 17:12, Jesus said “not one is lost except the one who chose to be lost, and this was to fulfil the scriptures”, it sounds like “in order for Scriptures to be fulfilled, Judas MUST betray Jesus”. Why’s that?
我是在基督新教長老會受洗歸主的,我想請教天主教的弟兄姐妹一個問題:當解釋「三位一體」的時候,有些新教的牧師會善意用聽眾容易理解的:只有「一個」太陽,但是太陽有「光、熱、本體」來解釋,請教大家天主教會的教導,有用太陽的「光、熱、本體」解釋的嗎?如果有,是起於天主教的哪位(或哪幾位)神學家?
