Book of Titus explains why the End Age coming of Apostle Paul is Master Li Hongzhi提多书 解释:为什么师徒保罗在末世的再来是法轮功创世人李洪志师父 


 Titus/多1:1神的仆人、耶稣基督的使徒保罗,凭着 神选民的信心与敬虔真理的知识,Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;神的选民是2类人。 在启示录5:6~9中有‘羔羊’ 和‘圣徒’。 ‘羔羊’有被杀的痕迹,是神的7个灵,只得是法轮大法弟子。‘圣徒’指的是传统意义上的基督教信徒。 但不是所有的基督徒都是被选的。所有人都被神召唤的,但只有一小部分是被选中的。God’s elect or God’s chosen people have 2 groups. They are “lamb” and “Saints” in Revelation 5:6~9. The Lamb is the 7 Spirits of God, who have been killed, are Falun Dafa practitioners. This Lamb is also called “prophets”. “Saints” are Christians who read Bible. However, all have been called by God, only a few Christians are the chosen ones. 多1:2盼望那无谎言的 神在万古之先所应许的永生,In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; 多1:3到了日期,藉着传扬的工夫,把他的道显明了;这传扬的责任是按着 神我们救主的命令交托了我。But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;使徒保罗的13封信全部是预言。整个新约圣经从马太福音到启示录也全部是末世时期的预言。2000年前,保罗留下预言说,在将来一个被指定的时期,他会把“神的福音”展现给所有人,这个福音是在创世之前神就已经许诺给我们的永生之道。所以我们要心中有希望,期盼等到保罗传福音的那个日子。这个被指定的日子,一定是在末世,是最后一代人,能够看到弥赛亚的归来,敌基督的出现,假先知的出现。这一代人直接面临神的审判,得到永恒的生命 或 永恒的地狱之火。 历史中预言讲,能够见证以色列再次复国的那一代人,可以看到弥赛亚的归来。 所以弥赛亚会在1947年11月29日之后的这代人中出现。 这里,使徒保罗讲到的定好的传福音的时间是1992年5月13日,是法轮大法在中国洪传的日子。 通过修炼法轮大法, 人可以跳出3界的轮回,回归宇宙中生命来源最高处,得到永恒的生命。Apostle Paul wrote 13 book in the New Testament. All of them are the End Age prophecy. Even the whole New Testament is the End Age prophecy. 2000 years ago, Apostle Paul left the prophecy saying in future, at the end of the world, at the Due Time, he will show the world what is the Gospel he is about to preach, and what is the Mystery of Christ. The generation for Apostle Paul’s coming is the last generation who can see the 2nd coming of Messiah the Lord Jesus Christ. Also, in the same generation, people will also see the AntiChrist, the False Prophet coming out. This last generation is the generation to meet the Final Judgement of God. The Jewish prophecy saying the last generation can see the re-union of Nation Israel. The Nation Israel was re-founded on Nov 29th 1947. Hence, we are the Last Generation. And in our generation, Paul will come back to earth, among us, to preach the Gospel. This Gospel must be a new one, and must not be Holy Bible. This Gospel is Falun Dafa from Master Li Hongzhi. The Due Times is May 13th 1992.多1:4现在写信给提多,就是照着我们共信之道作我真儿子的:愿恩惠、平安从父 神和我们的救主基督耶稣归与你!To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.提多在末世时期,会转生在中国大陆,是法轮大法的负责人之一。这封信,是保罗写给提多关于在中国各地建立大法协调人的要求和忠言。提多也许是某个人,也许是指一批人,就是大法弟子中的所有协调人。Titus could be one person who will also come back on earth at the end of age. As well, Titus could be a group of people. Titus represents the coordinators among Falun Dafa practitioners. 多1:5我从前留你在克里特,是要你将那没有办完的事都办整齐了,又照我所吩咐你的,在各城设立长老。For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:人类的历史是在重复上演的。历史的建立是为后人做借鉴,参考和预言。 这就是中国人 讲的‘以史为鉴’。历史中师徒保罗遇见提多,让提多在各个城中建立长老,就是领袖。In history, Paul met Titus, gave him many requests, and let Titus to select many elders in many locations. The elders means the leaders. At the end age, Titus is/are the top leaders to set up coordinators in each cities in China. 多1:6若有无可指责的人,只作一个妇人的丈夫,儿女也是信主的,没有人告他们是放荡不服约束的,就可以设立。If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.身为神的管家,无论是大法负责人还是基督教会的神职人员。第一个要求是必须一夫一妻制。 如果已经结婚,但是心里总想着找多个妻子的,是不可以做协调人的。 因为神才是丈夫,所有的信徒都是妻子。神职人员的第一责任是要领导信徒走向神,带到神的面前。如果神职人员不能过这一关,就会把自己当神,让信徒都跟着自己走,导致信徒误入拜偶像的行为,背弃神。To work as an elder or coordination or leader among all Dafa practitioners. He must be a husband of one wife. It means he has no eagerness to draw people to follow himself, but to follow God. All Dafa practitioners are “wives”of God, who follow God only. If a coordinator draws people to follow himself, he would be an Idol. 多1:7监督既是 神的管家,必须无可指责,不任性、不暴躁、不因酒滋事、不打人、不贪无义之财;For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;身为神的管家,首先自己的修为必须好。The coordinators are the bishop for the family of God, should always stay in flawless. 多1:8乐意接待远人,好善、庄重、公平、圣洁、自持;But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;然后,要有热心肠,愿意付出,帮助人。The coordinators should be warmhearted, and wish to help others. 多1:9坚守所教真实的道理,就能将纯正的教训劝化人,又能把争辩的人驳倒了。Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.要站在真理中讲话,才会让人信服。The coordinators should stay in True all the time. 多1:10因为有许多人不服约束,说虚空话欺哄人,那奉割礼的更是这样。For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:【修真】 [TRUTHFULNESS]: 要说真话,不讲假大空的言论。 First, is to stay in truth on everything.多1:11这些人的口总要堵住。他们因贪不义之财,将不该教导的教导人,败坏人的全家。Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.很多人说假话是为了出名,出名的目的是为了捞钱。 是因为有贪心。The purpose for many to speak fake words is to attract people’s attention, or to make fame on themselves, or gain money from other people.多1:12有革哩底人中的一个本地先知说,革哩底人常说谎话,乃是恶兽,又馋又懒。One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.讲假话骗人的人,也同样是懒惰的人。只想得到,不想付出。A person who always speaks lies is also a lazy person.多1:13这个见证是真的。所以,你要严严地责备他们,使他们在真道上纯全无疵,This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; 多1:14不听犹太人荒渺的言语和离弃真道之人的诫命。Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.站在肉身上讲,中国人不是犹太人,而是外邦人。在末世时期,很多宗教人士自己就是欺骗,目的是为了捞钱。 而法轮大法不是宗教,并严格要求不收钱,不收物。Speaking on the flesh body, Chinese people are not Jews, but the end age Gentiles who never know of God. The Falun Dafa coordinators should always remind and warn other practitioners to speak the truth, never lie again.多1:15在洁净的人,凡物都洁净;在污秽不信的人,什么都不洁净,连心地和天良也都污秽了Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 多1:16他们说是认识 神,行事却和他相背;本是可憎恶的,是悖逆的,在各样善事上是可废弃的。They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.如果没有【真】,是没有真正的【善】的。如果神职人员行为的实质背弃了真道,那么他的行为也不是真正的善。If there is no truthfulness, there will be no real compassion. If the leaders stay away from the truth, there will be no real compassion coming out of them. 多2:1但你所讲的,总要合乎那纯正的道理。But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:法轮大法的负责人讲话要有法理的依据,要站在法上讲话,不是用执着心讲话。同样,教会的神职人员也要有圣经的依据。讲的道理要纯正,有圣灵的点化,不是用肉欲来讲话。Fafa coordinators should speak reasonably, speak upon the Law, speak in the Spirit, not by flesh.多2:2劝老年人要有节制、端庄、自守,在信心、爱心、忍耐上都要纯全无疵。That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.【修忍】【FORBEARANCE】: 要有自我约束的能力。中国人在经历过文革之后,道德完全被打碎,生活中的行为都是为私的,不考滤别人的感受。所以,老年人要额外注意。Practice forbearance is about to learn self-control, to be selfless, to think more for others’ feelings.多2:3又劝老年妇人,举止行动要恭敬,不说谗言,不给酒作奴仆,用善道教训人,The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;[修善] 【COMPASSION】: 修善是在生活中点点滴滴中改变自己的。从注重自身的言谈举止开始。这样说出的话对他人才是可以接受的善言。Practice Compassion is from everyday etiquette, keep minding speeches.多2:4好指教少年妇人爱丈夫,爱儿女,That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,人间的爱不应该是自私的,无私的爱就是善的体现。对所有人都是公平的,没有自私,就是慈悲。Love is from Compassion without selfish, to take more care on husband and children.多2:5谨守,贞洁,料理家务,待人有恩,顺服自己的丈夫,免得 神的道理被毁谤。To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.修真,从做好自己的本分本职工作开始; practice truthfulness is from do your very own duty in true. 多2:6又劝少年人要谨守。Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.年轻人血气方刚,要额外注意修忍,不要打架骂人。Young people need to practice forbearance on self behaviors.多2:7你自己凡事要显出善行的榜样,在教训上要正直端庄,In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,年轻人要注意在言行中修善。Practice compassion for good works.多2:8言语纯全,无可指责,叫那反对的人,既无处可说我们的不是,便自觉羞愧。Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.如果自己做到完美,别人都不会说三道四。Falun Dafa practitioners should do the best in all things, in everyday life, and let no one can find flaws from ourselves. 多2:9劝仆人要顺服自己的主人,凡事讨他的喜欢,不可顶撞他,Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;在工作中,身为下属,要服从上级的命令。In works, Falun Dafa practitioners should follow and respect the head leaders, and do all work the best, and do not make conflict with upper leaders. 多2:10不可私拿东西,要显为忠诚,以致凡事尊荣我们救主 神的道。Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.不可以贪心,得不是自己的东西。Should not greedy. And never get things which are not belong to ourselves.多2:11因为 神救众人的恩典已经显明出来,For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,因为人最大的获得是神的恩典。没有人间的好处可以与 ’神的 福音‘相比。To know the salvation of God already comes out to us. We already have the best out of earth, which is the salvation from God. 多2:12教训我们除去不敬虔的心和世俗的情欲,在今世自守、公义、敬虔度日,Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 多2:13等候所盼望的福,并等候至大的 神和(或作无“和”字)我们救主耶稣基督的荣耀显现。Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;“所盼望的福”是耶稣基督在人间的形象(罗马书8:29),Joel Chipkar, 是历史中的耶稣转世,今天也在修炼法轮大法, 是活在人间的人子耶稣。 他在天上的形象是耶稣基督,是父神上帝在使用。所以,在末世时,耶稣基督就是神。“Blessed HOPE” is on Earth at the End Age. In Heaven, there is no hope needed, only humanity need hope. “Blessed HOPE” is Joel Chipkar, who is the Image of HIS Son(Romans 8:29), who is “the Man Jesus” to preplace Adam as the New Adam. Joel Chipkar’s body in Heaven is the Lord Jesus Christ, who is used by Father God Yahwah. In history, Joel Chipkar is the one crucified on the cross. All Falun Dafa practitioners are hopes. Joel Chiplar is HOPE of the Hopes. 这里的等候指的是“被提”,与主在云中相遇。 This waiting is for the Rapture, meeting the Lord in the clouds.多2:14他为我们舍了自己,要赎我们脱离一切罪恶,又洁净我们,特作自己的子民,热心为善。Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.在“被提”发生之后,天国婚礼之后,Joel Chipkar 会作为耶稣基督回到人间,像所有人展示他自己的真教会—法轮大法。 到时,全人类都会朝拜法轮大法,同时得救赎。After the Rapture and cosmic wedding, Joel Chipkar will come back to Earth in the body of the Man Jesus as the 2nd coming of the Lord, and show the Earth where is his True Church, which is Falun Dafa. By that moment, every knee will bow to Falun Dafa, and all humanity will be saved. When the Man Jesus coming back on earth, at the same time, there is still the Lord Jesus Christ in Heaven. 多2:15这些事你要讲明,劝戒人,用各等权柄责备人,不可叫人轻看你。These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.Falun Dafa coordinators should speak these things clearly to all, and let no people disrespect them.多3:1你要提醒众人,叫他们顺服作官的、掌权的,遵他的命,预备行各样的善事。Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,行善事,对于大法弟子来讲就是讲法轮功真相,让中国人的救赎。对基督教会来讲,就是让人朝拜主耶稣,教人学会忏悔,祈祷,读圣经。The coordinators should remind all practitioners to do the good works for God, which is to speak Falun Dafa truth to the world. And to remind each one to their own works, do their own best.多3:2不要毁谤,不要争竞,总要和平,向众人大显温柔。To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.与人无争,没有争斗心。争斗是来自利益。 比如基督教会讲要捐款。所以教会与教会之间存在利益之争。这是恶行为。不是善行。Evil and brawler come from benefit. Christian churches ask donation of money, there is benefit within. Hence, there are evil competitions between churches. 多3:3我们从前也是无知,悖逆,受迷惑,服事各样私欲和宴乐,常存恶毒(或作“阴毒”)、嫉妒的心,是可恨的,又是彼此相恨。For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.这是典型“外邦人”特点,也是中国当代人的特色。This is about the Gentiles, Chinese modern people.多3:4但到了 神我们救主的恩慈和他向人所施的慈爱显明的时候,But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,当”神的福音“--法轮大法开始在中国洪传时,神和主耶稣基督拯救了中国人。不是因为中国人有多么的高大上,而是因为神的慈悲怜悯。让修炼人在圣灵中重生。因此,中国人应更加珍惜,而不是自大。However, after the salvation of God appeared to us, God saved us. Not by our good works, but by the willing of God, by the salvation grace from God. This means Chinese people have been saved by God by the great mercy from the Gospel. 多3:5他便救了我们,并不是因我们自己所行的义,乃是照他的怜悯,藉着重生的洗和圣灵的更新。Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;It is not because of how greatly Chinese people are, but because of the great mercy compassion from God. Hence, Chinese people should cherish, and do not be pride.God’s mercy is the Gospel. From Falun Dafa we the Gentiles reborn in the Spirit of God. 多3:6圣灵就是 神藉着耶稣基督我们救主厚厚浇灌在我们身上的,Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;圣灵是修炼中实质的得到。包括所有在修炼人身上发生的神迹。The Holy Ghost pour upon us herself, which is the Spirit from God Yahwah. 多3:7好叫我们因他的恩得称为义,可以凭着永生的盼望成为后嗣(或作“可以凭着盼望承受永生”)。That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.法轮大法给予永生, 天上的王国。这个王国 是跳出 创世范围的大宇宙,在上帝创世之前的生命的真正的家园。 Falun Dafa gives you the Eternal Life in Heaven. This Eternal is out of “Heaven”, out of the Creation, back to Universe. Based on the Spirit of God, we the Gentiles could gain the God’s grace, and the eternal heaven life after the Lord Jesus Christ. 多3:8这话是可信的。我也愿你把这些事切切实实地讲明,使那些已信 神的人留心做正经事业(或作“留心行善”)。这都是美事,并且与人有益。This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. 多3:9要远避无知的辩论和家谱的空谈以及纷争,并因律法而起的争竞,因为这都是虚妄无益的。But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.修炼中要远离不实的言行,和不实在的人。My words give to you is real. I, Paul, wish you Titus to speak all these messages clearly to everyone. So, let the good men to work the good works for God. And let them stay far away from conflicts and worthless things.多3:10分门结党的人,警戒过一两次,就要弃绝他。A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;中国人特别喜欢搞小帮派,不团结。要远离这样的人。You, Titus, must warn those ones who disobey God. After the warning, you should reject and stay far from them.多3:11因为知道这等人已经背道,犯了罪,自己明知不是,还是去做。Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.要提醒背道之人,如果他不改变自己,就要远离他。Because these kind of people know the law, and still walk against God’s words.多3:12我打发亚提马或是推基古到你那里去的时候,你要赶紧往尼哥波立去见我,因为我已经定意在那里过冬。When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.Artemas 与 Tychicus, 在末世时,是具体的2个人。At the End Age, Artemas and Tychicus will reincarnate back to earth. 多3:13你要赶紧给律师西纳和亚波罗送行,叫他们没有缺乏。Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them. 多3:14并且我们的人要学习正经事业(或作“要学习行善”),预备所需用的,免得不结果子。And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.“不结果子”指的是不圆满,修炼无成。 这里指的是法轮大法弟子。Unfruitful means no fruition in heaven, the cultivation on earth is not complete, or not successful.多3:15同我在一处的人都问你安。请代问那些因有信心爱我们的人安。愿恩惠常与你们众人同在。All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
