何謂三位一體？(04) What is the Trinity?

有關三位一體的教義經常使我們感到困惑，尤其是因為沒有任何一段經文專門解釋這教義。

早期的先賢們寫下重要的信經，為要使眾教會對這教義有一致的信念，但現代人仍然難以理解三位一體。

這本小冊從整本聖經和歷史來探討有關三位一體的教導。作者談到神如何是獨一的神，同時又有三個位格。

他也介紹三位一體的定義，以及指出這教義對基督徒生活有何含意。

問題討論：

讀完這本小冊，您可以思想以下幾個問題 ：

1. 三位一體的神如何參與信徒屬靈恩賜的運作？根據哥林多前書十二章，誰擁有屬靈恩賜？現今的教會對於屬靈恩賜有什麼錯誤的認知？
2. 耶穌同時是先知、君王、祭司，我們如何在這三種恩賜和職分上效法耶穌？
3. 作者將屬靈的恩賜分成幾個層次？權柄、性質有何不同？每個層次對應哪些人物與角色？
4. 我們如何從使徒恩賜的性質中得知，神的啟示（聖經正典）已經完成，不可增添與刪減？
5. 從說話和行動的根據，我們可將屬靈恩賜分成哪兩類？請舉例簡單說明其差異。如何分辨、驗證其真偽？
6. 我們如何從屬靈恩賜的角度來看待「說方言」？二十世紀對「說方言」有什麼錯誤的認知？

The doctrine of the Trinity often confuses us, especially because there is no passage dedicated to explaining this doctrine. The early sages wrote important creeds in order to make the churches have a consistent belief in this doctrine, but modern people still find it difficult to understand the Trinity.
This booklet explores the teachings of the Trinity from the entire Bible and history. The author talks about how God is the only God, and there are three persons at the same time. He also introduces the definition of the Trinity and points out what this doctrine means for the Christian life.

Discussion Questions:
After reading this booklet, you can think about the following questions:
- How does the triune God participate in the operation of believers' spiritual gifts? According to the twelfth chapter of 1 Corinthians, who has the spiritual gifts? What is the wrong perception of spiritual gifts in the church today?
- Jesus is a prophet, king, and priest at the same time. How can we imitate Jesus in these three gifts and offices?
- How many levels does the author divide spiritual gifts into? What is the difference in authority and nature? Which characters and roles correspond to each level?
- How do we know from the nature of the gift of apostles that God's revelation (the canon of the Bible) has been completed and cannot be added or deleted?
- From the basis of speech and action, what two types of spiritual gifts can we divide? Please give an example to briefly explain the difference. How to distinguish and verify its authenticity?
- How do we view "speaking in tongues" from the perspective of spiritual gifts? What is the wrong perception of "speaking in dialects" in the 20th century?
