TAFPC Adult Sunday School Bible Study 台美團契長老教會成人主日學三年讀經運動 01/07/2007 討論問題 Question 1: Colossians 2:8; 16-23 The author of this letter encouraged the Colossian Christians to be confident in living in the liberating power of Christ's spirit. " Do not let anyone condemn you in matters of food and drink, or of observing festivals..." Yet we know that all cultural social and judicial structures need certain commonly accepted rules and norms as foundations for cohesiveness and unity. Without certain fundamental rules, a society quickly deteriorated into chaos. How do we find the balance between our physical need for stable social structure and the liberating power of the Holy Spirit? 歌羅西的作者鼓勵信徒要依靠基督聖神的大權能來過自由的生活. “ 莫得因為所食,所飲的, 抑是為著節期, 初一,以及安息日的緣故, 互人擬議.” 總是咱知社會,文化, 法律制度都是建築在律法上. 無法無天的社會是混亂無治的. 作為基督徒應該如何在基督賜給咱的自由與社會法律之間找到一平衡點? 例一: “法庭上是否可以展示十誡? ” Question 2: Colossians 1:24-29 表明保羅為教會作三件事：(一)在肉身受苦，(二)把神的道傳得全備，(三)為此盡心竭力. How hard or to what degree that we are willing to sacrificed in order to spread The Gospel? As Colossians 1: 28「我們傳揚祂，是用諸般的智慧，勸戒各人，教導各人，要把各人在基督裏完完全全的引到神面前。」 Did we do that or we just give up when we face difficulties. Please share your feeling or experience. Question 3: Colossians: 3: 1 - 17, 4: 2 -6 The writer of Colossians laid out rules of Holy living for members of Colossian churches.
Those rules or teachings are the core/shared values of Christians and should be very familiar
to each one of us and I believe we have been trying to follow them in our daily lives.
The writer also asked the church members to be wise in the way to act toward outsiders
and when in conversation always be full of grace and seasoned with salt, so that you may
know how to answer everyone.
From time to time we have the opportunity to meet people who are not Christians. Isn't full of
grace the way we should treat insider as well outsider? What does "seasoned with salt" mean?
Is it equivalent to modern-day marketing? Why? Please share your thoughts.
