I. Why are prophecy books or messages so attractive to believers? 一、为什么预言类的书籍或信息,对信徒特别有吸引力? You ask this question, and that already shows clear thinking. 你提出这个问题,本身就显示出清醒的分辨。 The reasons are usually these: 原因通常包括以下几点: People want to feel special. 人渴望一种“特殊感”。 People hope they are not just “ordinary believers.” 人希望自己不是“普通信徒”。 People in suffering want fast answers. 人在苦难中想要“快速的答案”。 Some people feel Bible study is boring, and they want direct experiences. 有些人觉得学习圣经枯燥,却想要“直接的经历”。 But the Bible does not give us excitement. 但圣经给我们的不是刺激。 The Bible gives us truth. 圣经给我们的是真理。 📖 Romans 10:17 📖 罗马书 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. 信道是从听道来的,听道是从基督的话来的。 II. From church history: this is not new 二、从教会历史来看:这不是新东西 In history, many similar movements have appeared. 在历史中,这类现象已经反复出现。 Early Gnosticism. 早期诺斯替主义。 Extreme forms of medieval mysticism. 中世纪的极端神秘主义。 Modern charismatic movements, such as: 近代灵恩运动中的一些形式,例如: The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). “新使徒运动”。 The Seven Mountains teaching. “天国七山论”。 End-times “overcomer” theology. “末世得胜者神学”。 📌 They all share one common feature: 📌 它们只有一个共同特征: They create “higher revelation,” 它们制造“更高的启示”, “deeper truth,” “更深奥的真理”, and “more spiritual people,” 以及“更属灵的一群人”, outside of the Bible. 而且都在圣经之外。 The response of the orthodox church has always been the same: 正统教会对此的态度始终一致: 👉 Reject them. 👉 拒绝。 III. Testing by Scripture (this is the key) 三、用圣经来衡量(这是关键) 1. Does the Bible allow new revelation? 1️⃣ 圣经是否允许“新启示”? No, it does not. 不允许。 📖 Hebrews 1:1–2 📖 希伯来书 1:1–2 In the past God spoke through the prophets, 神在古时借着众先知说话, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son. 在这末世,借着他的儿子晓谕我们。 👉 Revelation is completed in Christ. 👉 启示在基督里已经完成。 It is not continuing or being updated. 不是继续更新的。 📖 Jude 1:3 📖 犹大书 1:3 Contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. 要为那一次交付圣徒的真道竭力争辩。 “Once for all delivered” means no additions. “一次交付”的意思是:不再添加。 2. How does the Bible view people who claim to be prophets? 2️⃣ 圣经如何看“自称先知”的人? 📖 Matthew 24:24 📖 马太福音 24:24 False Christs and false prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders. 假基督和假先知将要起来,显大神迹奇事。 👉 The key issue is not how spiritual they sound, 👉 关键不在于他们“听起来多么属灵”, but whether they are faithful to Scripture. 而在于他们是否忠于圣经。 3. Does the Bible allow spiritual levels or elite believers? 3️⃣ 圣经是否允许“属灵等级 / 精英信徒”? Absolutely not. 完全不允许。 📖 Colossians 2:18–19 📖 歌罗西书 2:18–19 Such people go on indetailabout what they have seen, 这些人拘泥于他们所见过的, and become puffed up without reason. 无故地自高自大。 👉 This is the core problem of prophecy-type messages. 👉 这正是“预言类信息”的核心问题。 V. The clear position of true Christian faith 五、纯正信仰的立场(非常清楚) Sola Scriptura — Scripture alone. 唯独圣经。 Revelation was completed in the time of the apostles. 启示在使徒时代已经完成。 Today, the church is called only to: 今天,教会只被呼召去做三件事: Explain Scripture. 解释圣经。 Preach Scripture. 宣讲圣经。 Obey Scripture. 顺服圣经。 📌 Any message that says, 📌 任何自称: “God spoke to me again,” “神又对我说了”, or “this is special end-times information,” 或“这是末世的特别信息”, must be rejected, 都必须拒绝, even if it uses words like “Christ,” “holy mountain,” or “glory.” 即使它打着“基督”“圣山”“荣耀”的名号。 VII. A clear general principle (very important) 七、清楚的总原则(非常重要) Anyone who claims that: 凡是宣称: “Outside the Bible, people today receive new authoritative revelation,” “在圣经之外,今天仍有人得到新的、具有权威性的启示”, and says believers must accept and obey it, 并且要求信徒必须接受、顺服、遵行, has crossed the red line of orthodoxChristianity. 都已经越过了基督教正统信仰的红线。 It does not matter if they use: 不论他们使用的是: Prophecies. 预言。 Dreams. 异梦。 Visions. 异象。 Angels appearing. 天使显现。 Jesus appearing again. 耶稣再显。 “God told me personally.” “圣灵特别对我说”。 If their authority is equal to or higher than Scripture, 只要其权威等于或高于圣经, or replaces Scripture, 或实际取代圣经, it is heresy or a cult. 就一定是异端或极端邪教。 VIII. Typical examples 八、典型例子说明 1. Almighty God (Eastern Lightning) 1️⃣ 全能神(东方闪电) Nature: A serious heresy. 性质:严重异端。 Core problems: 核心问题: They claim Jesus has returned in the flesh in China. 宣称耶稣已在中国再次道成肉身。 They promote “new words” and “new revelation.” 宣称有“新话语”“新启示”。 They treat the Bible as outdated. 把圣经视为过时的阶段。 📖 The Bible clearly rejects this: 📖 圣经直接否定: 📖 Hebrews 9:28 📖 希伯来书 9:28 Christ’s second coming is not secret. 基督的第二次显现不是秘密降临。 📖 Matthew 24:27 📖 马太福音 24:27 His return will be visible to the whole world. 他的再来如闪电,从东到西,普世可见。 👉 This is the most dangerous type and must be completely avoided. 👉 这是最危险的一类,必须完全远离。 2. Mormonism (LDS) 2️⃣ 摩门教(LDS) Nature: A clear heresy, usingChristianlanguage. 性质:明确异端,披着基督教外衣。 Core problems: 核心问题: Joseph Smith claimed revelation from an angel named Moroni. 约瑟·斯密宣称从天使摩罗乃得启示。 The Book of Mormon adds new revelation. 《摩门经》属于新增启示。 They deny the orthodox doctrine of the Trinity. 否认三位一体的正统教义。 They teach that humans can become gods. 教导人可以“成为神”。 📖 The Bible responds: 📖 圣经回应: 📖 Galatians 1:8 📖 加拉太书 1:8 Even if an angel preaches another gospel, let him be accursed. 即便是天使传别的福音,也应当被咒诅。 👉 This is a classic “angel-revelation heresy.” 👉 这是典型的“天使启示型异端”。 IX.

A very practical “3-second test” 十、非常实用的“3 秒钟分辨法” Ask just three questions: 只需要问三个问题: Is what they say treated as revelation that must be obeyed? 1️⃣ 他们说的话,是否被当作“必须顺服的启示”? Is Scripture still the highest and final authority? 2️⃣ 圣经是否仍是最高、最终权威? Do they create a group of “more spiritual” people? 3️⃣ 是否制造“我们更属灵 / 你还没明白”的阶层? 👉 If even one answer is “yes,” be alert. 👉 只要有一个“是”,就要警惕。 👉 If two or more are “yes,”stayaway immediately. 👉 两个以上是“是”,立刻远离。
