文化影响与基督徒

火上冰

希腊文化之中，对于爱是有分类的。agápe, éros, philía, philautia, storgē, and xenia.对于当代英语的影响，希腊文字的爱有这六个词。

agape， 圣爱。

英文出处（维基词条greek word for love）

Agápe (γπη agápē[1]) means "love: esp. brotherly love, charity; the love of God for man and of man for God".[2] Agape is used in ancient texts to denote feelings for one's children and the feelings for a spouse, and it was also used to refer to a love feast.[3] Agape is used by Christians to express the unconditional love of God for his children.[4] This type of love was further explained by Thomas Aquinas as "to will the good of another".[5]

3. 复数，爱的筵席。 In pl., love feasts: Ju 12 (DB, iii, 157).这些人胆敢与你们同席，他们只顾喂饱（“喂饱”或译：“牧养”）自己，是你们爱筵中的暗礁；是无雨的浮云，随风飘荡；是秋天不结果子的树，连根拔起，死而又死；(犹大书 1:12 新译本)
SYN.: φιλα. ., signifying properly (v.s. γαπω) love which chooses its object, is taken over from LXX, where its connotation is more general, into NT, and there used exclusively to express that spiritual bond of love between God and man and between man and man, in Christ, which is characteristic of Christianity. It is thus distinct from φιλα, friendship (Ja 4:4 only), στοργ, natural affection (in NT only in compounds, v.s. στοργο) and ρω, sexual love, which is not used in NT, its place being taken by πιθυμα. (Cf. γαπω; and v. Abbott, Essays, 70f.; DB, vol. i., 555; Cremer, 13, 593; MM, VGT, s.v.).


        ros (ρω érōs) means "love, mostly of the sexual passion".[6] The Modern Greek word "erotas" means "intimate love". Plato refined his own definition: Although eros is initially felt for a person, with contemplation it becomes an appreciation of the beauty within that person, or even becomes appreciation of beauty itself. Plato does not talk of physical attraction as a necessary part of love, hence the use of the word platonic to mean, "without physical attraction". In the Symposium, the most famous ancient work on the subject, Plato has Socrates argue that eros helps the soul recall knowledge of beauty, and contributes to an understanding of spiritual truth, the ideal Form of youthful beauty that leads us humans to feel erotic desire – thus suggesting that even that sensually based love aspires to the non-corporeal, spiritual plane of existence; that is, finding its truth, just like finding any truth, leads to transcendence.[7] Lovers and philosophers are all inspired to seek truth through the means of eros.
        Philia (φιλα philía) means "affectionate regard, friendship", usually "between equals".[8] It is a dispassionate virtuous love, a concept developed by Aristotle.[9] In his best-known work on ethics, Nicomachean Ethics, philia is expressed variously as loyalty to friends (specifically, "brotherly love"), family, and community, and requires virtue, equality, and familiarity. Furthermore, in the same text philos is also the root of philautia denoting self-love and arising from it, a general type of love, used for love between family, between friends, a desire or enjoyment of an activity, as well as between lovers.
        Storge (στοργ storgē) means "love, affection" and "especially of parents and children".[10] It is the common or natural empathy, like that felt by parents for offspring.[11] Rarely used in ancient works, and then almost exclusively as a descriptor of relationships within the family. It is also known to express mere acceptance or putting up with situations, as in "loving" the tyrant. This is also used when referencing the love for one's country or a favorite sports team.
        Philautia (Greek: φιλαυτα, romanized: philautía) means "self-love". To love oneself or "regard for one's own happiness or advantage"[12][full citation needed] has been conceptualized both as a basic human necessity[13] and as a moral flaw, akin to vanity and selfishness,[14] synonymous with amour-propre or egotism. The Greeks further divided this love into positive and negative: one, the unhealthy version, is the self-obsessed love, and the other is the concept of self-compassion.
        Xenia (Greek: ξενα) is an ancient Greek concept of hospitality. It is sometimes translated as 'guest-friendship' or 'ritualized friendship'. It is an institutionalized relationship rooted in generosity, gift exchange, and reciprocity.[15] Historically, hospitality towards foreigners and guests (Hellenes not of your polis) was understood as a moral obligation. Hospitality towards foreign Hellenes honored Zeus Xenios (and Athene Xenia) patrons of foreigners.
在这样的希腊文字，背景与希腊哲学影响下，当福音被许多被希腊文化影响的人接受的时候，文化影响的结果，产生灵魂体三分的人论似乎也有其文化背景的原因。 agapy的爱，神爱人，人爱神，主的门徒之间彼此相爱；philia兄弟之爱，平等之爱，友谊；eros性方面的爱。

思想到我们华人文化背景，也必然对基督徒的思想产生许多影响。 也势必对基督徒明白圣经，明白真道带来许多的迷惑。基督徒信仰是道成肉身，民间信仰是肉身成道等等。

对于圣经教导和文化影响的忽视必然带来许多似是而非的教训和错误教导的影响。例如圣灵内住，圣灵的工作，如果脱离了基督的身体，圣灵在团体之间的工作，必然为那些注重个人经历和感觉的人，在圣灵在个人身上的带领和启示中间带来巨大的难处。当支持三分人论的基督徒混淆人的灵与圣灵的带领的时候，受造的人与圣灵以及基督的身位混淆的结果必然是灾难性的。

我们活在唯一的时间段里。共同因听到福音，成为上帝在基督里的见证的被召的人。 如何共同彼此相劝，彼此配搭，成为这个世代见证和传讲福音的人。这是基督徒共同的见证与使命。

基督徒的见证不是在于某某理论，而是连于元首基督，基督徒的生活，信仰和彼此交通才有意义。做基督徒不仅是个人的见证，也是团体的见证。这个团体就是教会，以基督为首的群体。

愿赐平安的　神亲自使你们全然成圣！又愿你们的灵与魂与身子得蒙保守，在我们主耶稣基督降临的时候，完全无可指摘！那召你们的本是信实的，他必成就这事。
(帖撒罗尼迦前书 5:23-24 和合本)

认识你－独一的真神，并且认识你所差来的耶稣基督，这就是永生。 (约翰福音 17:3 和合本)

个人态度是，暂且不必要站队二分论与三分论。知其然知其所以然。溯源清本回到福音，回到真道的根基之上，我们人的思想是有限的，人的认知也是有限的。但是上帝将祂自己借着圣经借着祂自己愿意让我们明白的启示给我们，让我们去认识祂，认识基督，这是莫大的怜悯与恩典。敬畏耶和华是智慧的开端，认识至圣者就是聪明。

对于圣经之中新约中讲的爱，对于合乎圣经教导的人与人之间的关系，对于金钱，对于基督徒对于婚姻家庭与恋爱的关系，对于上帝在婚姻中赐下的夫妻之间的关系，对于婚姻中的两性关系，对于基督徒家庭与教会弟兄姐妹之间的关系等等，都必须在基督里去重新审视。否则任何先入为主的概念，即便是当代最严谨和内耦的神学理论，当你本末倒置的时候，那些道理也都会成为世上的小学，使你离开基督，堕入错误的深渊。不是理论不对，而是人不对。

歌罗西书之中保罗对歌罗西这一个大希腊都市的书信之中早有劝诫：

你们既然接受了主基督耶稣，就当遵他而行，在他里面生根建造，信心坚固，正如你们所领的教训，感谢的心也更增长了。你们要谨慎，恐怕有人用他的理学和虚空的妄言，不照着基督，乃照人间的遗传和世上的小学就把你们掳去。(歌罗西书 2:6-8 和合本)
你们怎样接受了基督耶稣为主，就当照样在他里面行事为人，按着你们所领受的教导，在他里面扎根、建造，信心坚定，满有感谢的心。你们要谨慎，免得有人不照着基督，而照着人的传统，和世俗的言论，藉着哲学和骗人的空谈，把你们掳去。(歌罗西书 2:6-8 新译本)

你的思路和言论实在混乱无比。

你要表达什么？ 感觉你像一个贴小广告的。而且还是不知所云的混乱信息。

可否节省下阅者时间？

火上冰

灵魂体在希腊文化影响下的环境去理解，就显得有点能够理解。

但是基督徒见证的真道上跨文化的。


一个基督徒如果从未在福音之上，在基督的教导之中受教，信仰没有根基，个人的生命，生活和见证必然未曾改变。

荒凉的世代，似是而非的教训越来越多，钢需！

本末倒置，主次颠倒的结果，非常可怜可悲可怕。
