APAD: Onto everyone that hath shall be given.

 

Matthew 25:29 (KJV): For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall

have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which

he hath.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

"The Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell first impressed me with this saying. A

Canadian pastor explained it well but his sermon did not sink in, and I had 

since questioned the Lord's fairness.

 

Recently, I read Eckhart Tolle who says that the one who 'hath' realizes that as

part of God/universe/conciousness, he has already much more than he could dream

of. To hath is to live out of this faith/conviction/understanding and to be able

to give freely. To 'have abundance' is the natural outcome of this lifestyle.

 

The bloke who dares to think himself poor is damned! :-)

being in virtuous circles

命中该有就有：））

好像比这个意思要更深远一些。：）

The butterfly effects the natural outcome of this lifestyle

To 'have abundance' is the natural outcome of this lifestyle. You're what you eat, act, say, and think: The butterfly effects

Malcolm Gladwell’s book “The Outliers” insightful: Jewish wi

哦，还有不该有就没有：））

要读圣经原文吧。不能离开背景内容去理解，否则有断章取义的风险。

该有的没有就该没有 :-)

I risk becoming a kaleidoscope of butterflies :-)

Jewish outliers?

圣经中极不好理解的一句话！歧义丛生。教会的解释略显苍白乏力。

insightful: Yes. he is an outlier

Indian, English, Jewish, Irish and Scottish heritage

Malcolm's family tree includes ancestors of West Indian, English, Jewish, Irish and Scottish heritage. He is the son of a white English father and Jamaican mother.

overwhelmed by a multitude of conflicting thoughts to grow.

becoming overwhelmed by a multitude of conflicting thoughts or feelings and expressing a state of confusion or emotional turbulence is the only way to grow. Congrats.

苍白乏力？展开说说。：）

【太廿五29】「因為凡有的，還要加給他，叫他有餘；沒有的，連他所有的，也要奪過來。」

    ﹝靈意註解﹞今天在教會時代裏，凡忠心運用恩賜而增加恩賜的(「凡有的」)，將來在國度時代裏，還要得著更多的恩賜(「叫他有餘」)；但若在今天埋沒恩賜，以至於閒懶不結果子的(「沒有的」)，連他今天所僅有的一點點恩賜，將來都要被『剝奪』淨盡。這個原則也適用於今天的事奉工作：你越有，主越要加給你；甚麼時候你一停止進步，連已往所得的，也要被奪回。

    ﹝話中之光﹞(一)愛心等屬靈的恩賜，越使用就會越增長；越不愛人，愛心就越減少。

          (二)「因為凡有的，還要加給他」：這話說出豐滿的原則：我們若不扣住豐富的基督，樂意供應給別人，結果卻叫自己更加豐富。

          (三)主再來時，不單是消極的審判人，刑罰人；更是積極的恩待人，祝福人。

这就是因信称义。那么谁来决定一个人是否信了呢？是自己，牧师，朋友，还是什么超自然的力量？

A gift that keeps on giving.

最后的恒量只能是外在的：即一个人是否定期参加各种宗教活动。

为什么犹太人能丧失家园达千年之久而能维持其民族特性，这是一个好问题。仅仅靠人的力量吗？那为什么其他民族做不到？：）

It’s the strength of their eidolon:)

Neither external nor internal but the Holy Spirit controls

回答很简单：组织的力量 wrong answer rooted in humans

This is the answer of the Bible.

True. The Jews believe in their sole they are the chosen
