Ren Bumei now to reflect on our system, centered in theory and defects in scientism time. We will show the political will to replace religion in real life, how to be the enemy of freedom and science. This is not to be carried out on faith and science, thematic studies the relationship between freedom, but only a simple relationship between these two groups Reorganizing the basic points. This is just resumption of the work of common sense. This basic knowledge is: the lack of freedom of religion and science is not the root of freedom and science, and science into practical technology will be flat, and free or become a tyranny of man by man, or empty talk,Discount UGG boots, not life.
20 centuries later, science and religion dialogue, the great achievements of that: on the fault of religion has to say is not only nonsense, but on the opposing views of religion and science is lip service. On the relationship between religion and science talk from three angles. First, the Newton, the founder of the world by God and maintained by. On the one hand the universe is designed and existential,UGGs, or the existence of the universe and its existence is regularly produced by the premise of science; the other hand, God in the universe ever in the (Holy Spirit presence) to understand the universe as the mind possible. Secondly, Einstein is: Faith provides a scientific motivation and enthusiasm. Third, for Hawking is, or vice versa, Hawking on black holes and the Big Bang theory the universe insights remind people not to be expelled from the creator of the universe, because He is all the reasons (including the Big Bang) the first reason. The relationship between science and religion for theology, it corresponds to the apologetic theology Science and theology from different directions to maintain a basic consensus: science and religion is not only not against each other, and can coexist. A considerable number of scientists and theologians believe that faith provides motivation and goals of science, including the scientific spirit of humility and do not discount the search for enduring courage - science is only part of the plan of God revealed, and is constantly opening up new areas of extension process (the so-called School science is not useful (Reason for Greece, the science is the pursuit of truth, (ibid.). Deepen the spirit of this idea in Hebrew - this is the Apostle Paul told the Greeks (the Greeks) of ---- because believe that truth exists, and religion provides the ultimate faith. May hinder the Church in the individual time of conditions. Scientists are God's chosen.
stated our focus is the relationship between faith and freedom (Renbu Mei, As a liberal political philosophy at least include the following principles: 1, personal values (which may include freedom of speech, liberty and security of private property, equality); 2, constitutional government and to prevent or limit the tyranny of the majority; 3, the rule of law and rule; 4, social tolerance and love; 5, even including opposition to nationalism and radicalism and other forms of superstition and nihilism, to which all tyranny (including anarchism and terrorism) together ideology.
First of all, the supremacy of personal values of liberalism that, but this only confirmed the political philosophy of human dignity (the face of social thought and selfishness, ultimate ground, but also not aware of the limitations of people. On the one hand, the lack of the ultimate dignity of the individual letter recognition is based on respect for the individual not to rely on faith but on the human self, which self-discipline is unreliable. Who is the Son of God, the faith eliminated the full sovereignty of the people, everyone on this side of the world have become the most dignified existence. Related to this, the concept of equality has thus laid the foundation stone: only the On the other hand, people did not notice the limitations of personal freedom means that all This is the May Fourth-style individualism, the biggest problem, according to the definition of the May Fourth Movement, Mao can as an individualist, but he will conflict with other individualist. Recognizing the limitations of people, this is the greatest contribution to civilization, the Hebrew, it contains the highest wisdom and human emancipation and freedom of all secrets. The limited nature of man originated in the infinity of the absolute believer, there is no latter, people will be absolute in their respective fields who, for a variety of forms of tyrants. Hu liberal thought the biggest problem is is good. never thought of. In fact just the thought of Hu Shi and Chen and his successor on the The reason is simple dualism of good and evil is the first step in the logic is you point to my good evil, the second step is the realization of , or at least lead to a moral superiority. Theological reason for this is clear-cut answer to the question: no good, not one! It is this Hu and Western teachers, John Dewey, Bertrand Russell and other people, including representatives of contemporary liberalism Hayek and Rawls, the system in the center of this issue are advocates. Difference between Hayek and Rawls is only aware of the limitations of the former, it began to pay attention to distinguish between rational ego, In fact this distinction in Burke's Therefore, contemporary liberalism should not be satisfied with the introduction of John Rawls, Hayek should not be satisfied with the re-discovery (Rawls and Hayek should be living in the religion for their own social and grateful, at least in theory, life can compensate for their deficiencies , or at least he
Secondly, there is a priori establishment of constitutional dimension. The first is the constitutional monarch's sovereignty thought the victory, followed by the victory of the people's sovereignty. May Fourth Movement of people thought a complete lack of vigilance, or both Hu Shi Chen camp, the people become God, while at the same monarch as the devil. Determine the two extremes are far from the truth. Sovereign is also a member of the people, morally, intellectually, monarch and the people are In the Because Pilate was not the Therefore, religion is against the revolution, in essence, the revolution is jealous. Thoughts on the sovereignty of the constitutional monarch victory of the revolution in the West done in ancient Greece. opened a new chapter. They show that people's freedom of thought and action is not subject to such restrictions. people can benefit from the civilization, from time to time is that it destroyed. political democracy replaced the absolute monarchy, while the public the power to beam about. But Greece is an enormously flawed democracy. First of all, equality ideology is not fully into the political life: women and the poor (sometimes) and the lack of political rights of slaves and Gentiles, or civil rights. Secondly, the Greeks down the monarchy, but did not reflect on the people. Political consequences of the limitations of the most famous is the Death of Socrates declared the demise of democracy in Greece, also declared a But what makes human beings learn the lessons from this tragedy is the death of Jesus. That Sale cross again in the and the poor, patrician and plebeian, slave and king, received full equality. If the First, the Second, the death of Jesus to remind people wary of tyranny of the majority. The above two points are Both the monarch or the people, because all have limitations, it is necessary to limit the power of the two - this restriction is in the performance of constitutional law. Finally, the Chinese civilization is still stuck in the Lack of trust in God, humanism, late Qing constitutional non-existent, then Chen, Hu thought empty talk. The last remaining political practice is to name the banner of popular sovereignty, self-willed oligarchy, perhaps this is one of the inevitable end-result of movement of constitutional doctrine.
Third, the rule of law rule. Ideas of the May Fourth Movement system center on the one hand there is About the relationship between law and religion, people will notice Berman (Hrold J. Berman) of the academic contribution. In 1974, the Law School of Law family detached real so-called profound proposition. This idea can be regarded as legal thought on the real revolution. As the Chinese legal scholars that the comments Liang Zhiping, in Berman appears: The. fearless fight. Overall, the The second is respect for the law. The third is the law-abiding public will be proud of. Why are law-abiding people? The reason is that the law comes from God, Divine origin of law is the law effective ways to solve the fundamental problem,UGG boots, also solved the belief in the law and law-abiding pride issue. And God and the world with people in the law to maintain the lasting respect. In addition, the law also addresses the divine origin of the stability of the law. If the law is
Fourth, social tolerance and love. Hu in his later years of their Perhaps Hu is Nevertheless, in his essay style are still being found in the text, that is not serious, arbitrary and arrogant. simply did not specify what is tolerable. If tolerance is not from external force is from their own moral cultivation; The fact that personal moral cultivation is completely unreliable, it is merely a disguised form of moral pride. In fact tolerance is definitely not from the moral superiority but from humility. Tolerance is basically a Chinese taken into account. This is not tolerance, is indeed only a No humility there is no tolerance. So humble spirit come from? Religion aims to provide a absolute basis. Jesus said: Whoever is without sin you, you hit her! The results of these dispersed people (I often wonder if this story takes place in China, the results will be different: everyone will say, lost due to no history of the Old Testament tradition of the confession). Why be tolerant to others? Because we are all guilty - no one but God is innocent. For Christians, yet God forgive our sins, why can not forgive others their trespasses it? This is the logic of religion on tolerance. But not without the principle of religious tolerance, and sin is still sin, still have to point out sin (Jesus, or that the woman is wrong), but you should take the attitude of tolerance. Because of this, belief against relativism, and relativism, or lead to false tolerance (with choice of Tolerance is associated with love. This Kant was right, love does not experience a rational basis, it is imperative. Love is not self-expression and self-command, and this love themselves into a good man, full of utilitarian calculation - But Kant's practical reason not to become a real practice, because practice need to love the Christian teaching about love may be to illustrate this: First: God, love for humanity: the creation of human and freedom given to human will, human free will and criminal, and God on the cross for the redemption of human sin and the path specified. Second, we should love one another,Bailey UGG boots, love of the brethren, love your neighbor, love your neighbor as yourself, including enemies. Third, the fact that men may not do this kind of love, so rely on faith to help, so people should love the glory of the Lord; this love is a tame, not self-righteousness. Therefore, love and honor the right to rule without guidance. In addition, love is not economic calculation. Institutionalism that:
Fifth, against nationalism, to absorb and remove superstition and moral passion. Centered system of the May Fourth period is not only not opposed to nationalism, but rather is based on the basic background of nationalism. After World War II, began a comprehensive liberal nationalism and totalitarianism reflect the correlation between. As mentioned earlier, however, the church has been the nationalistic opposition. This position of course, and missionary interests of the related, but there is still the main basis of faith: God is the ruler of the world's highest end, all men are God's people, are equal. The globalization of the world is in fact the globalization of the gospel-oriented. The globalization of the gospel in four stages: Paul Age Gospel from the Jews spread throughout the Mediterranean world, and naturalized in northern barbarians; Luther Age Northern Europe and Christian civilization in Europe into the territory; geographical discovery of the Gospel worldwide to achieve almost of; while China and the Himalayan Mountain West Mara Yaya last enclave in the gospel of globalization. For China, the Chinese people but also to face the first missionaries to China is not the center of the world. Ricci was then found that: as barbarians, and as there is no rational animal. Daode passion is always there, it is the mothers of the revolution. Unjust society, that passion has more structural. But religion can be so humble and down the street politics of silence in the church among absorption, absorption in the atmosphere of peace for all sin, then this moral concern for rational, so that rational negotiation rather than resorting to arms criticism and criticism of weapons. This is not to destroy the process of justice, but the process of elimination of self-righteousness; it makes access to justice and spirit of reason and compromise to get rid of the damage.
In short, the Christian faith is not superstition, and only the Christian faith it may not be superstitious; the Christian faith is firmly opposed to superstition, and only the Christian faith is the most radical opposition to superstition. Yore it? First, we give a definition of superstition: the so-called superstition is the ultimate object of the meeting as the ultimate object of worship, or to be made as the creator who come to worship. Made due to the under, who is a Hu worship The ultimate tendency of people must choose between superstition and faith (So logically we can see that the ultimate cult object is bound to oppose the worship times can not be the ultimate object, therefore, faith, and only faith can only oppose and oppose superstition. In a sense, Then there are specific or are created by superstition, the worship of it? The first is the worship of man. Hu said: We are the attitude of Western modern civilization But as we said, people have limitations, people are unreliable. 20th century (as previously) the political disaster (mainly utopianism) and the tragedy of war is basically the result of human worship, is an attempt to While contemporary liberalism has begun to abandon this call the general line, building a socialist new China is to build a paradise on earth. It is not possible, it is temporary, socialism is not achieved, we can not support the general line. Park project is still under construction, and Kung have not been missed. Worship can also be divided on who the Remind people of religion, whether it is ordinary people are guilty. Faith did not hesitate to declare: There is no Honest people will admit that this judge is the real reason is consistent with the facts, and is opposed to superstition. The second is a concept of worship. Hu worship We must understand that only the time value of these ideas (some even anti-values), if the value and the ultimate value of these times of conflict, then, of course, should be discarded second value - for example, The third is the worship of things, including landscapes worship, totem worship and a variety of folk religion of idolatry, of course, Landscape worship is traditional in China, it is the people lose confidence in the mind after the escape. Reproduction of this worship is not only developed the Chinese literature, particularly lyrical on the landscape, but also absolutely utilitarian to occupy China's famous mountains and rivers - literati ink (thanks footprints have disappeared) and Taoist temples in China with the elimination of Religion is not against humanity, It also does not believe that For the reason, the For no other reason, nature is to be made (and therefore should cherish and care for). Totemism is the Chinese dragon worship may be a few, and now there may be Long is it? An artificial The sensitivity of the totem is a common feature of all primitive religion, it is not only worship the creature, and worship of man-made thing, this is a downright superstition. Religion is not opposed to wealth (This is different from Eastern religions), as the distinction between man and God; but against the worship of wealth, in order to distinguish between humans and animals. This is also the The worship of wealth does not lead to thrift and efficiency, but also lead to artificial At this point, Marxists are honest, but it is only honest. For the materialist, life or well-being of people from the lean pigs only be considered as the process of development as the pig (including the increase in book promotion and job relocation.) Maybe not on the various folk religions we waste any more words - but think of those created in the image of people - the system of advocates has helped us very clearly. But one thing is also worth mentioning that the system of civil religious doctrine just put a new idol idol only.
God Himself buried Moses, did not shed any square in the city Faith is not to It is the people to properly address the human nature, so as to Replace the use of religious belief nor political, it is certainly in favor of the return of God God, Caesar's Caesar; but it is only in the context of Caesar is God's warning and assistance: Only God go God, Caesar's to Caesar. The other side of the world, the this side of the world or the world Nuo Siti pessimistic doctrine, or just because you want to build this side of heaven is established hell.
the last non-Chinese churches reflect the spirit of rationalism defects is necessary. Church's mental impairment is not only the spirit by the Chinese characteristics of opportunism, but also by the foreign culture (especially Buddhism) the effects. Generally speaking, there are three mental impairment mainland churches: 1, beauty culture and cultural poverty had followers and anti-intellectualism anti-rational tendencies. We are students from Watchman Nee and Wang Ming Tao religious thought can see this effect, from the In addition, the story of literature as the only way of preaching and witness the way that this limitation also affected. The consequences of anti-rationalism in the biggest superstition of faith, or even slide into the This is completely contrary to biblical truth. This limitation also shows a lack of situation awareness in Chinese theology. Contemporary Chinese translation of Western theology is built on the basis of theology, and Western theology is belief in the dualism of reason and dialogue based on the set up. Theology copy of this tradition is forgotten the simple faith to dialogue with China, there is no reason that tradition. Practical Reason and the idol faces east superstition, reason and faith in the West are the spiritual resources we need, and the reason is precisely the belief of the most important assistant and true believers. 2, anti-politics and lack of social care. This defect on the one hand with the fear (unfortunately very few people honestly face up to this point), and because little knowledge of the cross of truth. , love is a lateral cross dimension (relationships between people, China's lack of clarity in the vertical dimension of the mind (Chinese Christians are only emphasized the vertical dimension, but they ignore the horizontal responsibility, ignoring the teachings of love. More importantly, the interpersonal relations in the authoritarian society is mainly political relations, so the lack of political concern for social care, especially away from the faith to the truth. Of course, the followers of social responsibility and political concern for the constraints because of their beliefs have their own characteristics: In order to tame the Lord. This includes three aspects of meaning, first, the pursuit of their civic obligation rather than a privilege. Second, your neighbor as yourself: but do not envy the strong help the weak (must be special emphasis on love and the balance between justice, so neither favors or favor the poor. And partial view of the poor seems to have become the biggest hypocrisy of the secular justice and disaster), the glory of the Lord stretched Zhang Gongyi the same time, not self-righteousness. Third, higher than the power of truth, than the people of God, obedience to God who does not obey. Related to this, the political concern for believers not to chase the highest political authority for the purpose or purposes, it is only to Therefore, the so-called The fact may be the contrary, the Church in China is now the question is 3, the internal disputes. Which to some extent, especially with the lack of the traditional Old Testament law tradition, or that there is again about the Church's religious cynicism neglect the Old Testament. The absence of law, can not truly guilty and humility, we can not say to yourself is not God, but others say not say to yourself is. Thus, it is impossible, So Christians have a self-righteous, On the other hand, the lack of law to the neglect of the traditional Traditional law and legal rationality traditional close relationship, and this is a great belief in the Church lost. Apparently, the inherent irrationality of the East to encourage believers to go the traditional spirit of the road alone.
defects objectively so that the Chinese character of theology and apologetics loss of ability to reflect. Therefore, the In fact, this problem 100 years ago by missionaries recognized. Mateer (Calvin W.mateer) in the No matter which era, Christianity wherever he went, he was always a friend and protector of intellectual. the knowledge of the outstanding figures in the vast majority of its followers are. most famous missionary of the early church who are knowledgeable people ... ... Today, all pure Christianity wherever he went, knowledge and general education to achieve maximum development. All of these reasons are dependent on the knowledge that there is not a Christian, and Christianity is seen as natural allies, the knowledge to be support. ... ... We are convinced that the great principles of science is built on the unshakable basis of truth. ... ... the spirit and substance of these scientific truth, in fact, God is not only a display of written law, and therefore seek scientific truth regard, Christianity is a major force. It justifiably claim knowledge owned by it all, and in the knowledge that it is neither afraid of looking for a not too proud to master the tools to pursue the truth. who may become a Christian victim of superstition, while in China, Taiping this tragedy has provided sufficient evidence to the contrary; in South America, due to lack of rational support, liberation theology became a sympathizer of the radical movement, and even promoters .
