Text:
Among the bible stories, in my opinion, Moses’ story is the most attractive and moving.It’s mainly about the Hebrew hero Moses and his great contributions to his people.Moses was a newborn son of a Hebrew woman.At that time, the king of Egypt gave orders to kill all Hebrew newborn boys and broke Israelites’ spirit by heavy labor because he was afraid of that those
powerful Israelites may become the masters of Egypt.The little boy was protected well by his mother for 3 months but she could conceal no longer.So the mother laid the baby in a basket and put the basket among the reeds by the bank of the Nile.The baby was adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter and he became the prince of Egypt.The name Moses was given by pharaoh’s daughter.Moses grew up.One day, he went to his Hebrew people and saw one was punished by an Egyptian.He killed the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand.But this was known by Pharaoh and he wanted to put Moses to death.So Moses made good in his escape and settled in the land of
Midian where he got married and God gave him the mission of leading Israelites out of Egypt.Moses and his brother Aaron went to Pharaoh and asked him to set those Israelites free and Pharaoh refused.Moses turned his staff into a serpent as God told him.But Pharaoh was very obstinate and didn’t listen to Moses and Aaron.Then Moses changed the water of the Nile into blood and Pharaoh was obdurate as before.Moses had to perform other signs such as the disasters of frogs, maggots, flies and grasshoppers, blights, murrain, disaster of hail and darkness, which still couldn’t persuade Pharaoh.At last, God killed all the first-borns in Egypt
including the first-born of Pharaoh and this made Pharaoh come to terms.When the king of Egypt was told that the Israelites had slipped away, he was seized with remorse.He took his troops to pursue Israelites and he nearly caught up with them by the sea.With God’s help Moses made the waters tear apart so that those Israelites went through the sea on the dry ground.But when Pharaoh’s troops arrived Moses made the water return to its accustomed place and all Pharaoh’s army were inundated.No one survived.This was Israelites’ great success.I like this story most because it presents the adamant people’s strong spirit of looking forward to freedom.Thought the Israelites were weak, they didn’t give in to the powerful king of Egypt.And the main hero was Moses who had strong will to save his people.He understood that the Egyptians were cruel and selfish.He gave up his happy life as a prince of Egypt in the palace and returned to his people.This is why God chose him to perform his miracles.Moses was the loyal follower of God and presented as the representative to deliver God’s ideas.Israelites showed
high admiration to him and he was worthy of it because of his great contributions to his people.

第三篇:圣经故事
陵南谈《圣经故事》之《出埃及》
《圣经故事》之《出埃及》
摩西的身世
谈到《出埃及》,我们必须先说起一个人——摩西。
摩西,以色列人(雅各即以色列后人),约基别之子。
在当时,因老埃及王驾崩,其他王继位,然新王室们对以色列的丰功伟绩一
无所知,他们憎恨国内所有的外族人,而在这外族人中又以以色列人人丁最为旺盛,所以新王就用苦役来削弱他们的体力,一来可以消除对埃及构成的威胁,二来也可以用他们这些奴隶来为自己建造华丽的宫殿。但以色列人并没有因此而有所削弱,人丁反倒愈加旺盛。新王就下令在尼罗河溺死以色列人新生的男丁,以此来削弱以色列人。
应该说,摩西是庆幸的,他被他的母亲 约基别用涂有柏油的篮子 放在高高的芦苇当中,由他的姐姐米莉安照看,以此来躲避埃及王的杀害。对摩西来说,更为庆幸的是,埃及公主恰巧来到河边洗澡,发现了他,并认他作为自己的儿子。但并没有立即带进宫殿,而是约基别的生母喂养,但在名义上,约基别也只不过是他的奶娘。
陵南个人认为,摩西的身世存在很多的可疑点。
摩西是否真的是以色列人?如果他是,那么埃及公主又为什么会认他作为自
己的儿子?如果说公主这种行为只是想解救这个可怜的以色列人,那也未尝不可。但是,在当时,血统是被极为重视的,人们不可能随随便便就认养一个孩子,更不用说是王室。但也不外乎存在另外一种可能性,那就是摩西是公主的私生子。未婚先育,按当时律法是死罪,公主为自救,便说摩西是其养子,并由以色列人约基别抚养,这么一来即保全了儿子的性命,又保全了自己的性命,是一举两得(注:此种可能性,只是陵南个人猜测,不具真实性)。
二、埃及的灾难
这里暂且不谈摩西到底是什么人。
《圣经》上说摩托西在岳父那里生活了四十多年,过了四十多年的牧羊生活。
后来摩西受到神的召唤,令其带领他的族人离开埃及,逃离那种困苦的生
活。摩西照着神的话做了。他晋见了埃及王,并照神的话说,他要带领神的子民
离开埃及。国王对摩西说“不”,这在《圣经》的理解上可以说是对神说:“不”。
国王对神说“不”,以为着什么?以为着他将不再受到的庇佑,相反,他还
要受到神的惩罚。其实国王说“不”只是埃及人将要受到神的惩罚的一个原因,还有另外一个原因,就是他们塑造了很多的神像,并崇拜他们,他们不再相信神,信奉神,这些在神看来是不允许。神说:我才是世上唯一的真神,你们要相信我,信奉我,并忠诚于我,我将赐福于你们,不论何时我都与你们同在。神令摩西前往埃及并带领其族人离开埃及,其实就是神的一个证明,他就是要证明,他才是世上唯一的神。这在神召唤摩西时对其的谈话中就可以看出。神对摩西如是说:“带上你的手杖,你要用它做奇妙的事,以便向我的子民和埃及王证明,我是惟一的真神,比国五和他所膜拜的那些神祗更有能力。”]
摩西在神的旨意下,举起手杖,尼罗河的河水便变成了褐红色,接着,青
蛙从水里跳出来,蹿时房屋,蹿上床和灶台。神又使滋滋叫着叮人的蚋和发出嗡嗡叫的苍蝇遍布埃及„„
陵南个人认为,青蛙大量涌出,可能是地震的一个前兆,至于河水变为褐
红色,可能是由于污染,尼罗河出现了赤潮的现象。叮人的蚋与嗡嗡叫的苍蝇,也极有可能是由于尼罗河的赤潮才导致鱼类的死亡,滋生出来的。
接下来神令埃及遭受了暴风雨,接着又闹蝗灾,破坏了埃及人的庄稼。而神最后的灾难,则是极严厉的、极残酷的,就是杀死了埃及每一户的长子,令其家人悲痛欲绝。
陵南个人认为,与其说神是爱世人的,倒不如说神是爱爱他的人的,而对不信任他的人,将受到惩罚。这里,陵南看不到神胸怀的博大,因为他只看到了自身的权力是不容侵犯的,他是权威的,他也一直坚定着:他才是世上惟一的真神。这又是为什么呢?在先期基督教还没诞生之前,神又在哪里呢?神的影子为何到了这会才得以显现?这是一个值得思考的问题。
对于而后,摩西带领神的子民离开埃及,路经红海,而埃及王的军队也在这个时候追来,因为埃及王又后悔了,后悔让以色列人他的奴隶离开了,因为他们离开了,埃及王在建的华丽宫殿便不能完成,所以说埃及王后悔了。
圣经上说,摩西举起手杖,红海便分开了,神又用云柱挡住埃及军队的视线,夜幕降临,云柱耀眼的光亮,便给神的子民照亮指引。
等摩西带领着大家都渡过了红海,神对摩西说:再把你的手杖举向海。摩西照做了,红海便又合上了,埃及王的军队被全部埋葬。
说到这里,陵南个人认为,这应当是一种巧合。当追兵快要到的时候,恰巧某个地方发生了地震,引发红海海底某些地方垄起,摩合及其族人为了逃命,便大胆的从这垄起的陆地上渡过红海,当他们全部渡过之后,地震引发的红海海啸又恰巧在此时发生了。从理论上讲这种恰巧的概率是小之又小,但仍旧存在着可能性。在陵南读到此段时,陵南在网上查阅了一下这方面的资料,并找到了一些资料,这些资料和陵南以上的推断不谋而合,资料上说,在这一时期,红海确实发生过海啸,故此,陵南也大断推断:这不过是一种本不可能的巧合。
三、《出埃及》感想
看过这篇圣经故事之后,第一感觉,神并不一定存在。从这则故事的后篇,我们可以看到,当摩西率领子民来到圣山(即西奈山)下拜见神并听神宣布旨意的时候,忽然山顶出现了块乌云,接着便电闪雷鸣,子民不敢上山,而后纷纷离去,上山的也就剩下摩西及亚伦,然后《圣经》上说,神只与摩西说了话。陵南奇怪的是,为什么神只与摩西说话?难道他还有什么告不得人的秘密么?既然亚伦敢登上西奈山,那也就表明,亚伦是深信神的,是爱神的,那神为何还要躲避亚伦?神想要世人爱他,信奉他,他完全可以显圣给他们看,来证明他的实实在在的存在。《圣经》讲耶稣复活时候,因为多马对其的怀疑而显圣,来证明他是天父之子并宣布他的旨意。那么神又为什么不可以显圣,来证明他的这一存在?当然,我这话说的有点儿矛盾,因为在此间,耶稣也还没有出世,即使这样,我个人觉得,神没有必要躲避亚伦而独与摩西说话。
事实上,我们的神似乎总是隐藏在故事的背后,以一种神秘的身份出现。看到这里,陵南更以为,神,不过是某些有想法的人,用来维护其政权的一种手段,这里说到摩合,咱们就以摩合为例,当他从西奈山回来,便颁布了十诫。
所谓十诫,总篇分前、后五条,前五条是爱神,后五条则是爱人。
一、不可拜别的神祗。
二、不可造任何偶像并向敬拜。
三、不可滥用神的名。
四、要谨守安息日为圣日。
五、要孝敬父母。
六、不可杀人。
七、不可通奸。
八、不可偷窃。
九、不可捏造谎言陷害人。
十、不可贪婪。
而十条又是在怎样的一种情况下出现的呢?
从埃及逃出来以后,以色列人渐渐的忘记在埃及城里的所有待遇,也渐渐的忘记了,他们是怎样从埃及城里逃出来的,他们开始滋事,每天摩西都在忙着这些事情——断案。
是啊,有了争执,便要想法去解决,但断案,也得有个依据,不然的话,对这个处罚的轻,对那个又处罚的重了,人们觉着不公平了,又滋起事了,这该怎么办?于是,摩西想到了神,有了神,也便有了十诫,有了十诫,摩西便可以大胆的去制定律法,依着神的旨意。但陵南觉着,依着神的旨意,也不过是名义上的旨意。摩西,说要见神的是他,真正见到神的又是他,并且只有他,后来宣布十诫的是他,“受神旨意”制定律法的又是他,看来,真正说话算数的,依旧是摩西,也只有摩西,那是“神”赋予他的至高无上的权力,且不说明权力是否真的是神所赋。
第四篇:关于英文圣经版本
问题:读那些较新版的圣经有什么好处吗?
提问者:我想知道您对那些新版的英文圣经有何看法?阅读新版英文圣经会不会有危险呢?您怎么认为?
道格牧师:恩,我个人认为是存在一定危险的。因为里面的好些内容都依着个人偏见翻译过来的。今天晚上,我的一个朋友告诉我,他的妻子曾读过一阵子新版圣经,但她并不满意;所以她想重新学习老版的圣经了。
但是,我最喜欢的版本是最接近于拉丁标准版的雅各王版和新雅各王版。我对这些也做过很多研究,我听到过两方面的争论。
让我来解释一下这种现象。雅各王版圣经的版权是公开的。出版商为了出售拥有自己版权的圣经来赚钱,并防止盗版,必须要在原来的版本上做一些改动以成为新的版本,这样他们就有了自己的版权并去销售获利。
提问者:是的。
道格牧师:想不到吧?如果你未经允许引用诸如新国际版圣经上的经文,就会被起诉——这是事实——因为这些书的版权为出版商所有。
所以,由于金钱的诱惑,促使他们对圣经中的话做了变动。但是你知道,同样的意思在英文中的表达方式是很多的。
提问者:我明白。
道格牧师:所以我最喜爱的就是精准性比较高的版本,依次是:雅各王版、新雅各王版、新美国标准版、新改进版。其余的就没了,至于新国际版圣经,我不太喜欢;但也有很多人喜欢它。还有《新生命圣经》,几乎不是在翻译,完全是意译重述。其中竟把“兽印”一词改成了“纹身”,这样很危险。
但是借着每个版本的圣经,上帝都在作工。我也看到很多读这些版本圣经的人也都认识并信靠了上帝。因为你问我喜欢哪种版本,我就发表了一下个人观点。
提问者:是的。道格牧师:这些版本中,有的用来对照着看也挺好,但我认为基督徒应该尽力去记住圣经上的话。如果大家都在读不同版本的圣经,我们的教会岂不成了混乱的巴比伦吗?同样是圣经的话,谁跟谁说的都不一样。
提问者:我想你的回答会帮助我更好地做出选择。
道格牧师:泰德,我们奇妙真相有一本小册子。你可以不久将会在我们的网站上找到这个内容。
提问者:我知道了。
道格牧师:那篇讲章的名子叫做《忠心的见证人》。
第五篇:圣经读后感(英文)[定稿]
Thoughts about the Bible The Bible is God's holy Word.It is God's message to us, and it is the most important book in the entire world.The Bible is the classic works in Christianity, and it provides the British literature with inexhaustible materials.So the Bible has deep influence on British literature.British writers use stories of the Bible by three main methods.First, they quote persons names or stories of the Bible as the characters names or plots of the creations from the Bible directly.Sometimes they make some changes on the original stories.Sometimes they quote stories directly from the Bible as the writing materials.Second, they make use of symbolic meaning of the Bible by some technical such as simile, metaphor and symbolism, so that the stories could exert a great influence on contrasting with the new products.Third, the Bible influences British literature on styles and artistic characteristics.The books retell most of the narratives of the Bible in 411 stories.The books have been marketed in the United States for many years by placing the first volume, which covers the first part of the book of Genesis, in doctor's offices with postage prepaid post cards included for readers to order the set or ask for more information.Originally written in English, the books have been translated into French and Spanish, and a new revision has been made based on the New International Version(NIV)translation of the Bible.As the Holy Bible of the Christianity, its own has strong artistic charm and great aesthetic value, making it as the source of British literary works creation.The Bible records the merits, the faults and evil of the world, reflects the ancient feelings, implorations and ideals, explores the mystery relationships among God, people and the universe, and studies the philosophy of the relationships between people and people, people and the universe, human destiny and life values.British literary works all embody the Bible in all aspects.Therefore, the understanding of the Bible will further our understanding of British literature, will deepen our appreciation of British culture and ideology, and will make us learn, research and appreciate the British literary works better.I've learnt a story from the Bible about Esau and his brother Jacob.They are twins.However, they are so different in temperament: Esau is rough and honest , and Jacob ideceives.One day, Jacob cooks a stew.At this moment, Esau returns from hunting, very exhausted and thirsty, so he asks for it.But Jacob insists that Esau sell his birthright to him and swear an oath.And finally Esau does as Jacob says.As we can see , Esau sells his right as the firstborn just for a mess of pottage.It is Esau not Jacob who has the right to inherit what his father owns.At such a low price, he sells it.He keeps his eyes only on immediate needs , without considerating long-term interests , which should be a lesson for all of us.Esau's story and lessons also apply to people like you and me , who are living in a complex modern society.We are faced with too much temptation.In such cases, you are likely to be conqured and probably do something stupid.How to avoid this? What you can do ,from my point of view , is to keep your reason, stay cool-headed, think over and figure out a solution which can balance immediate interests and long-term interests.The Bible is the story of man's complete ruin in sin and God's perfect salvation in Christ.The Bible is God's love letter to us, telling us that, even though we have turned away from God and broken His commandments, God loves us with all His heart and He wants us to come back to Him.The most precious truth in all the Bible is that the Son of God loved us so much that he left heaven and became a man so that He could die on the cross for our sins.We are not saved by what we do for God, but by what God has done for us in the person of His Son.The Bible says,“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”,“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved...” “What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people.The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.” The Bible is the most important book in the world because it tells us how to be saved.God gave us this wonderful book that we might know the truth about ourselves, about sin, about Satan, about God, and about salvation.From beginning to end, the Bible has one great theme — the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ.The books of the Bible fall into five main groups: The Old Testament gives us the history of Abraham and his descendants who became the nation of Israel.The great theme of the Old Testament is a promised Savior.Isaiah wrote, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” The Gospels tell us that the promised Savior has come.They tell us about the Lord Jesus Christ and what He said and did.The Acts tell about the coming of the Holy Spirit, the beginning of the Church, and the preaching of the gospel — the “good news” that Christ died for our sins and rose again to be our living Savior.The Epistles explain the gospel and tell us how we can be saved and how to live the Christian life.The Revelation tells us how all things will end.Wouldn't it be wonderful if we had someone who knew all about God to teach us His wonderful book? Well, there is Someone like that.He is the Holy Spirit.The moment we take Christ as our Savior, the Holy Spirit comes to live in us.He lives in every believer, and He teaches us the things of God.
