FAITH - and Knowledge | 信心與知識 |
Faith that goes no farther than the head can never
bring peace to the heart. 無法超越頭腦的信心不能夠帶來心靈的平靜。 |
Where reason fails, faith
can rest. 理性失敗之處正是信心棲息之處。 |
God does not expect us to submit our faith to him
without reason, but the very limits of our reason make faith a necessity. Augustine 上帝不奢望我們會不帶著理性的獻上信心,可是我們的理性對信心的作用實在非常有限。 |
All I have seen teaches me
to trust the Creator for all I have not seen. Ralph Waldo Emerson 我所眼見的一切教導我為一切不能見到的事情信賴造物主。 |
One grain of faith is more precious than a pound of
knowledge. Joseph Hall 一喱的信心比一磅的知識還彌足珍貴。 |
Faith must have adequate
evidence, else it is mere superstition. A. A. Hodge 信心必須具備足夠的根據,否則就只是迷信而已。 |
The more we know of God, the more unreservedly we
will trust him; the greater our progress in theology, the simpler and more childlike will
be our faith. J. Gresham Machen 我們越認識上帝,就會越沒有保留的相信祂;我們在神學上越有進展,我們的信心就會越變得簡單、純真。 |
The faith that does not come
from reason is to be doubted, and the reason that does not lead to faith is to be feared. G. Campbell Morgan 信心若不出於理性是值得懷疑的,而理性若不導致產生信心則令人畏懼。 |
Belief is a truth held in the mind. Faith is a
fire in the heart. Joseph Fort Newton 信念是心智掌握的一項真理。信心則是心中的一把火。 |
True faith and saving
knowledge go together. George Swinnock 真實的信心與救贖的認知攜手並進。 |
Faith is seated in the understanding as well as in
the will. It has an eye to see Christ as well as a wing to fly to Christ. Thomas Watson 信心在認知及心志上均有一席之地。信心如有眼睛得見基督亦有羽翼飛向基督。 |
