最后罗马皇帝君士坦丁在主后325年在小亚细亚尼西亚召开大公会议 (Council of Nicea),有三百多位主教出席。会议的结果是将亚流的看法判为异端。主后381年在君士坦丁堡再度召开第二次大公会议,确定尼西亚信经,并宣告圣灵是神,巩固了三位一体独一真神的基本教义,成为基督徒信仰的根基。尼西亚信经至今仍是更正教,罗马天主教,希腊正教的基本信仰根基。
尼西亚信经内容 (主后381年)
我们信独一上帝、全能的父、创造天地的主宰,祂是创造有形无形的万物的主。
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds (æons), Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; who, for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father. And He shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead: whose kingdom shall have no end.
And we believer in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spake by the prophets. And we believe one holy catholic and apostolic church. We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
Steve Jobs 不是我们当效法的对象。很多人也有自知之明,知道自己才智并不超过众人,不指望会有太多重大的发明,不能开创甚麽了不起的事业,也不期待自己一生有甚麽大成就,2011年过去了,辛苦了一年,轻松一下,看看新闻,球赛,运动,幻想与自己最欣赏的球员,或是最中意的球队搭上线,做个旁观者,拉拉队,这总比较清高,比较超脱吧。这种人很聪明也顶会过日子的,他选择的球员都是杰出的,经常赢,很少输,支持的球队都是常胜的。谈到球赛,体坛名人,平常一句话不说的弟兄,也能如数家珍,这些运动明星是我们效法的对象吗? 昨天是2011年最後一天,准备将最後一天读经信息贴上网站时,一打开电脑就看见,2011年离开世界的名运动员,奥运金牌得主,有印地安纳500赛车两度冠军得主,很多在中年时就被病魔吞灭,也有的坠机,车祸意外死亡,甚至自杀。这些运动健将不久就被人遗忘,他们生命所发出短暂的光芒,一闪即逝,他们也都不足以效法。
And I will betroth thee unto Me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto Me in righteousness, and in justice, and in lovingkindness, and in compassion. And I will betroth thee unto Me in faithfulness; and thou shalt know the LORD. (Hosea 2:19-20)
And let us know, eagerly strive to know the LORD, His going forth is sure as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.
