Like Buddha and Bodhisattva, Jesus Christ came to the world to persuade people to stop evil and do good and move towards happiness.

The Chinese nation is like the sea, containing all the wisdom between heaven and earth.

After Christianity entered China, it quickly integrated with the local culture of China to form a new Christian culture.

Zhuge Changqing's research believes that the core purpose of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Jesus Christianity and Islam is to stop evil and do good, eliminate evil deeds, and return to self purification.

We should be grateful to Confucius of Confucianism, Laozi of Taoism, Sakyamuni Buddha of Buddhism, Jesus of Christianity and Muhammad of Islam. They all came to the world to silently dedicate themselves, enlighten the society, change people's hearts, and make the world more happy and harmonious.

With the integration of global villages in the world, it is necessary for us to understand the wisdom of various religions.

Today, Zhuge Changqing shared the Christian research article of Professor Laozhang of Peking University, about the basic knowledge of Christianity. Zhuge Changqing believes that reading these basic Christian knowledge will help you quickly understand the basic Christian knowledge;

（1） The Bible

Zhuge Changqing: This part is a summary of answers to questions about the Bible.

Q: What kind of book is the Bible?

Answer: The Bible is the classic of our Christianity and the revelation of God to people, including the way of life that God loves the world and prepares salvation for people in Christ. The Bible is divided into two major parts, namely 39 volumes of the Old Testament and 27 volumes of the New Testament. "Covenant" refers to the contract between God and man. "Old Testament" refers to the original covenant made by God and his chosen people as * * people; Later, because of the people who broke the covenant and sinned, God gave his only beloved son to save the world from death and blood, and made a new covenant with people. Therefore, the original covenant is the old covenant, and the new covenant is the new covenant. But the New Testament does not abolish the Old Testament, but rather completes the Old Testament.

Zhuge Changqing suggested that those who have a predestined relationship can read the Bible properly, so that you can have a cultural platform for communication when you contact with those who believe in Christianity.

Q: What do you think of the contents of the Bible?

Answer: The Bible is all the words inspired by God [2 Tim. 3:16]. People are moved by the Holy Spirit and speak the words of God [2 Peter 1:21]. The Bible is the criterion of our faith and conduct, and the food of our spiritual life.

Q: Why should I read the Bible?

Answer: Reading the Bible can help us (1) gain life by believing that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God [cf. 5:39, 20:31]; (2) Have the wisdom to be saved; (3) Accept the lesson, supervise the responsibility, and be able to learn righteousness through rectification; (4) Be complete and ready to do all kinds of good deeds [2 Tim. 3:15-17].

Q: What attitude should we take when reading the Bible?

Answer: (1) Love the words of God, read and think often; (2) Do what God says; (3) Take the word of God as food and absorb the nourishment of spiritual life from it (see Psalms 1:2119:97; Matt 4:4; Jer 15:16); (4) Seek with an open mind and explore new light and emotion from the Bible (see Matthew 7:7-8, 11:25).

Zhuge Changqing believed that the Christian Bible, the Buddhist Sutra of the Mind, the Vajra Sutra, and the Sutra of the Earth, the Taoist classics such as the Tao Te Ching, the Sutra of Tranquility, and the Supreme Sensation, and the Confucian classics such as the University, the Doctrine of the Mean, the Analects of Confucius, the Mencius, and the Shangshu, all told about the basic laws of the universe, reminding people to put aside greed, hatred, and ignorance, and always do good deeds and accumulate virtue, to benefit mankind, and to achieve self-leap.

Q: What incorrect attitudes should we avoid when reading the Bible?

Answer: (1) Don't take meaning out of context. Let all the Bible speak to us; (2) Don't misinterpret the Bible according to your personal will, but decompose the Word of God according to your personal will; (3) Don't try to understand things that you don't understand; (4) Don't stick to words and sentences, but understand them according to the precise meaning, because "that word is to make people die, and the precise meaning is to make people live" (2 Tim. 2:15; 2 Pet. 1:20, 3:16; 2 Cor. 3:6).

Q: What should we do with Bible books?

A: The Bible records the word of God, so we should cherish and cherish it. However, we should not use the Bible as a magic book, let alone as a tool to ward off evil spirits.

Q: Why are there two versions of the Chinese Bible called "God" and "God"?

A: This is only the difference in translation. "God" and "God" are the same word in the original text of the Bible. Because some people claim to be translated as "God" and others claim to be translated as "God" in our church, for a long time, our church has maintained two versions, which coexist and use.

（2） God

Zhuge Changqing: This part is a summary of answers to questions about "God".

Q: What does "Jehovah" mean?

A: "Yahweh" is a transliteration of the Hebrew name of God by Christianity, which originally means "own forever". The God we believe in is eternal (Rev. 3:14-15) and the Almighty who was, is and will be forever (Rev. 1:4, 8).

Q: What does "trinity" mean?

Answer: The God we worship is the only true God. He has three positions, namely the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. All three are honored and worshipped together. In the ministry of creation and redemption, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit all work together. There are many places in the Bible that show the principle of the Trinity. For example, the Lord commanded his disciples to "baptize in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit" (see Matthew 28:19); When Paul blessed the Corinthian church, he also said, "May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the touch of the Holy Spirit always be with you all" (2 Cor. 13:14).

Q: What is the most fundamental and essential attribute (virtue, or temperament) of God?

Answer: The most fundamental and essential attribute of God is "love", because God is love (1 John 4:8, 16). Not only is the Trinity relationship a love relationship, but God's creation, selection and redemption of people are also based on his love. God wants people to be able to understand and accept his love, and love him with all their heart, soul, effort and heart (see Luke 10:27). God loves people with "eternal love", and at the same time attracts people with his love (see Jer 31:3; Hos 11:4).

Q: How does God love others?

Answer: God's love for people is the same as the love of the Father for the Son in the Trinity (see John 17:23). He is compassionate, gracious, slow to anger, and full of love (see Psalm 103:8). He loves all things created, and his love is extremely precious. The world can take refuge in him (see Psalms 36:5-7). God's deepest love for human beings is manifested in that in order to save the world, he even gave up his only beloved son, and through Jesus Christ's death on the cross, reconciled people with God and returned to his love (Sam. 8:32; John 3:16; John 4:9-10).

Q: Did God create everything in heaven and earth?

Answer: All things in heaven and earth are created by God (Genesis 1:1-2:3; Psalms 33:6); And it belongs to him, as the Psalm says: "The heaven belongs to you, and the earth belongs to you; the world and its fullness are built by you" (Psalm 89:11). Therefore, all things are telling about the glory and power of God (see Psalm 19:1).

Q: Did God stop working after he created everything?

Answer: No, after God created all things, he used his powerful command to hold and manage all things. All things are not only from him, but also depend on him, and finally will be attributed to him (cf. 1:3; Rom. 11:36). God's work in the universe has never stopped, especially after the fall of Adam, God's rescue, call, treatment and comfort of mankind has never stopped. So the Lord Jesus said, "My father has done things until now, and I have done things" (John 5:17).

Q: Is God the Father?

Answer: God is the father of all spirits (Genesis 2:7; Heb 12:9). He gives life and breath to all people, but not all people know him. Those who believe in the Lord, because they know the Lord Jesus, know this heavenly Father, who can be reborn by the Holy Spirit (see 1 John 2:23; Gifts 3:5-6); He was led by the Holy Spirit and called him "Abba, Father" (see 4:5-6). But it is not only by mouth, but also by showing the righteousness of God in his deeds, because the scripture says: "All who do justice are born of him", "All who are born of God do not sin", "He cannot sin, because he is born of God" (John 2:29, 3:9).

Q: Is human history also under the control of God?

Answer: Yes, God is the master of human history. He "holds power in the country of man"; He "supports the humble, overthrows the wicked to the ground", and can "set the most humble to take power" (Psalm 147:6; Dan 4:17). His authority "governs all things". From the beginning, he "calls the generations" and dominates the whole human history (see Psalms 103:19; Isa 41:4). May all glory, majesty, power and authority belong to him, from ancient times, and now, and forever and ever (1 Corinthians 2:10; Jude 25).

Q: How do you understand God's holiness?

Answer: God is holy (see Lev 19:2; 1 Peter 1:15). His name is "Saint" (entry 57:15). It is also known as "evil person" (see 34:14). He "has a clean eye, and does not see evil or evil" (Ha 1:13). The way of the wicked is hated by him; He who pursues righteousness is loved by him (see Proverbs 15:9).

Q: How do you understand God's righteousness?

A: God is a just God (Contest 45:21). "Everything he does is just" (Psalm 145:17). "He loves righteousness, and the upright will see his face"; "But the wicked and those who love violence hate in their hearts" (Psalms 11:4-7). He "never acquitted the guilty" (Exodus 34:7). God cannot tolerate the oppression of people, so the Bible calls him the father of the orphan and the God who vindicates the poor and the oppressed (see Psalm 68:5). God's delight is not to offer him "thousands of rams, or thousands of rivers of oil". What he asks of the world is to be righteous, merciful, and walk with him with humility (Sam. 6:6-8). He will not show partiality to others, and will repay everyone according to their deeds on the day of judgment, showing his righteousness (Sam. 2:5-11).

Q: How do you understand God's faithfulness?

A: God is a faithful God (Deuteronomy 7:9; 1 Cor. 1:9). His love for people will never change. Even if a man deviates from him, he can't bear to abandon him (cf. 11:8). The scripture says, "Even if we break faith, he is still trustworthy, because he cannot betray himself" (2 Tim. 2:13). No matter how many promises he gives to people, they will be fulfilled through Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 1:20).

Q: What does prayer mean? What is the content of prayer? Is there a certain form? Why say "in the name of the Lord" and "Amen" at the end of prayer?

Answer: Prayer is when people talk to God, communicate with God, and call on God. The main contents of prayer include thanksgiving to God (Psalm 95:2; Phil. 4:6), asking God to forgive sins (Psalm 51:1-3, 19:12-13), and interceding for others (Psalm 2:1). There is no certain form of prayer. You can pray aloud or silently in your heart; You can use a certain prayer or not; You can pray kneeling, standing or sitting; Pray regularly in the morning or evening; You can also pray at any time and place without stopping (1 Thess 5:17-18). At the end of the prayer, he said, "In the name of the Lord", which is the command and promise of the Lord Jesus himself (see John 14:13-14). Finally, "amen" means "real" and "sincere wish".

Zhuge Changqing: People find that people who believe in Jesus Christ often say amen, which means "real" and "sincere wish"

Q: What should we pray for?

Answer: We ask for the kingdom of God and the righteousness of God. That is to say, we pray for the will of God to be done on the earth, just as we walk in heaven (Matthew 6:33, 9-13). In addition, we should thank God for the food and clothing our Father gave us; Confess your sin in front of God and ask the Father to forgive and forgive (see 1 John 1:8-10). We should also ask the heavenly Father to guide our daily life and work, so that we can take the heart of Jesus as our heart, act in a manner commensurate with the grace of being called, and glorify the name of God the Father in all things.

Q: Should we pray for others?

A: The Bible teaches us: "Pray, pray, intercede and give thanks for all people" (Tim. 2:1). The "ten thousand people" here include not only brothers and sisters in the Lord, but also our flesh and blood compatriots and people from all over the world. We should not only pray for the church, but also for the prosperity and peace of our country, and for world peace and human progress.

Zhuge Changqing: Here we pray for mankind in the world, which embodies the spirit of Buddha and Bodhisattva. Therefore, the core of all religions is the same, which is to stop evil and do good for mankind and make them happier.

Q: What should we pay attention to when we pray?

Answer: (1) Ask according to God's will, and let God's will be fulfilled on us. Don't ask according to your own private will (see Matthew 26:39-42, 20:20-23);

(2) Pray sincerely to the secret Father, and do not pretend to be good and deliberately let others see it (see Matthew 6:5-6);

(3) Be humble and do not think you are righteous (see Luke 18:9-14);

(4) Ask in faith without doubt (see Matthew 21:22; Heb 11:6; James 1:6);

(5) When praying for patients, do not forbid them to seek medical treatment and medication (cf. Tim. 5:23; Luke 5:31; Col. 4:14).

（3） Christ

Zhuge Changqing: This part is about the question and answer about Jesus Christ.

Q: Who is Jesus Christ?

Answer: Jesus Christ is the only son of God the Father and the second of the Trinity God. He has the image of God and is equal to God. He was with God from the beginning and was one with the Father. All things are created by him. He is the true God and eternal life, that is, eternal life (see John 1:1-3:18, 10:30; Phil 2:6; John 5:20).

Zhuge Changqing: Jesus, it is God who sent the spirit down to earth.

Q: How did Jesus Christ come into being?

Answer: Jesus Christ was born by the virgin Mary, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit. He was born in Bethlehem, Judea, more than 1900 years ago. Later, he grew up in Nazareth, Galilee, and worked as a carpenter when he was young. There are few biblical records about the childhood of Jesus Christ. According to the Gospel of Luke, he once listened in the temple and obeyed his parents; In a nutshell, he said, "Jesus' wisdom and stature, as well as God's and people's love for him, have all increased together" (see Luke 2:41-52).

Zhuge Changqing: People often say that the "Virgin Mary" is the mother of Jesus Christ.

Q: What is the meaning of "Tao becomes flesh"?

Answer: "Tao" refers to the Holy Son who was with God at the beginning. The incarnation of Tao means "God appears in the flesh", "becoming the form of man" (cf. Tim. 3:16; Phil. 2:7-8); This is Jesus Christ. So Jesus Christ has both complete divinity and complete humanity.

Zhuge Changqing: The sanctification of Jesus in flesh is the same as that of Confucius in Confucianism, Laozi in Taoism and Sakyamuni in Buddhism.

What is the meaning of the "Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven" preached by the Lord Jesus?

Answer: "The kingdom of heaven" means that God is king and dominator. God is the master of human history, and will also be the master in human hearts (Luke 11:2,17:20-21). The "Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven" that the Lord Jesus preaches is the good news to tell the world that "the Kingdom of Heaven is near". The kingdom of the Father and the will of the Father will be realized and implemented on the earth, just as in heaven (Matthew 6:9-10) The "kingdom of heaven" also refers to the future kingdom, that is, the "eternal kingdom" (Matt. 26:29; Ps. 145:13; Rev. 11:15)

Zhuge Changqing: Why do people who believe in Christianity often say the Gospel of God, which means spreading the ideology of God. Spread the sound of happiness.

Q: What example does the Lord Jesus leave us as a man on the earth?

Answer: The main points are: (1) The Lord Jesus obeyed the command of the Father on the earth, and glorified the name of the Father (see John 15:10, 12:28, 17:4). He wants us to do the same and honor the father's name (see Matthew 28:20; John 14:21; Matt 5:16; John 15:8); (2) His love and compassion for people, his hatred and righteous anger against sin, showed his father's love and righteousness; He taught us to be perfect, just like the Father in heaven (Matthew 5:48); (3) He wants us to be humble and serve people, because he himself came into the world "not to be served by others, but to serve people, and to sacrifice his life as a ransom" (Matt. 20:28).

Zhuge Changqing: Jesus' life, dedication to mankind, is an example to learn.

Q: The Lord Jesus has done many miraculous signs and wonders. Why do he sometimes blame or avoid those who ask for miraculous signs?

Answer: For the Pharisees and Sadducees, they will not believe that Jesus is the Christ because of seeing miracles. So the Lord Jesus rebukes them and refuses to perform miracles for them (see Matthew 16:1-4). For those who seek Jesus because they are full of bread, he will not do miracles any more, because they seek Jesus only to meet the needs of the flesh, not to seek the food of life and the way of eternal life (see John 6:24-36, 68). More importantly, the main mission of the Lord Jesus sent to the earth by the Father is to preach the gospel of the kingdom of heaven, not to drive out demons and cure diseases (see Luke 4:40-44).

Zhuge Changqing: Jesus hoped that people should not be too strict with divine powers, and should stop evil and do good at all times, which is fundamental. It is also consistent with the fact that Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism do not advocate supernatural powers.

Q: What does the Lord Jesus think of the law of Moses?

Answer: He did not come to abolish the law, but to complete it (Matthew 5:17). He put forward higher requirements for his disciples (Matthew 5:21-28), and summed up the commandments in the law as follows: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul and all your heart", and "love others as yourself" (Matthew 22:37-40).

Zhuge Changqing: There are several precepts in Christianity, such as Article 5 of the Ten Commandments of Moses: "Be filial to your parents." Article 6: "Do not kill people." Article 7: "Do not commit adultery." Article 8: "Do not steal." Article 9: "Do not make false witness to entrap others." Article 10: "Do not covet other people's houses; nor do not covet lovers' wives, servants and maidservants, cattle and donkeys, and everything else." These are all related to Confucianism Buddhism and Taoism are consistent in stopping evil and doing good. Moses, Moses was the national leader of the Jews in the 13th century BC. Historians believe that he is the founder of Judaism. It is considered to be a very important prophet in Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Bahai faith and other religions. According to the heritage of the Israelites, the five books of Moses were written by them. According to the Exodus, Moses was ordered by God to lead the enslaved Hebrews to escape from ancient Egypt and go to a rich land: Canaan. After more than 40 years of arduous journey, he died just before he reached his destination. Under the leadership of Moses, the Hebrews got rid of the miserable life of being enslaved, learned to abide by the Ten Commandments, and became the first nation in history to worship the monotheistic religion. The Ten Commandments of Moses, also known as the "Ten Commandments", is said to have been personally conveyed to Moses by God at the top of Mount Sinai, and is the admonition of God to Israel. God himself carved these words on a stone tablet and gave them to Moses. However, when Moses saw that the people did not obey these commandments at all, he destroyed the stone tablet in a rage. God also ordered Moses to make new stone tablets and put them in the Ark of the Covenant.

Q: Why was the Lord Jesus crucified?

A: Because of the false accusation of the Jewish chief priests and Pharisees, the Lord Jesus was crucified by Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor. He has no sin, but he died to bear our sin, so that since we died in sin, we can live in righteousness (1 Peter 2:24).

Q: Has the Lord Jesus been buried in the tomb after his death?

Answer: No, he rose from the dead the third day after his death. Because he is the son of God and the Lord of life, he could not be detained by death (Sam. 1:3-4; Acts 2:24). After the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, he appeared to his disciples many times (1 Corinthians 15:3-8; Matt 28:8-20; Mark 16:9-20; Luke 24:13-50; John 20:11-21:23). For forty days, he told his disciples about the kingdom of God (Acts 1:3-5). Then he went up to heaven and sat on the right side of the Father (Sam. 8:34; Col. 3:1; Heb. 1:3). The resurrection of Christ is to justify us and become the first fruits of those who sleep (Sam. 4:25; 1 Cor. 15:20). Now, he is living for a long time and praying for us (see 7:25).

Q: Will Christ come again?

Answer: Yes, Christ will come again. This is his promise (Matthew 16:27; John 14:1-3). When he comes again, (1) judge the living and the dead (2 Pet 4:1; 1 Pet 4:5), "judge each person according to his conduct", and "repay each person according to his conduct" (1 Pet 1:17; Rom 2:6). His judgment will start from the house of God (1 Pet 4:17; 2 Cor 5:10), and will judge the world in righteousness (Acts 17:31); (2) The church has "been prepared, just as the bride is dressed up, waiting for Satan and his messengers to be destroyed," finishing the last enemy destroyed, That is death "(1 Cor. 15:24-26); (4) The history of mankind will enter a new heaven and new earth that has been renewed. God will live with people and wipe away all their tears. There will be no more death, no more sorrow, crying and pain, because the past has passed (Rev. 21:1-5). All creatures will be free from the rule of corruption and enjoy the glory of the freedom of God's children (Rev. 8:19-22). Humans" The knowledge of the LORD shall fill the earth as water fills the sea "(Isaiah 11:9).

Zhuge Changqing: Jesus Christ, like Buddha, Bodhisattva and the good god, always protects the earth's human beings.

Q: Can we know the day of Christ's coming?

Answer: The coming of Christ is the hope of all saints; But no one can know the exact time of his return, and no one can calculate it. When the Lord Jesus was alive, he said, "No one knows that day or that hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father" (Mark 13:32). Therefore, before the Lord comes back, we should live godly, watch and wait, and strive to do all kinds of work that the Lord has arranged and entrusted. For when he comes, he will judge us according to our deeds and work in the world (Matthew 7:21-27, 25:31-46; 1 Cor. 6:9-10; Eph 5:5; Rev. 22:10-15).

（4） Holy Spirit

Zhuge Changqing: This part is the answer to the "Holy Spirit" in the basic knowledge of Christianity.

Q: Who is the Holy Spirit?

Answer: The Holy Spirit is the third of the Trinity God. The Lord Jesus commanded his disciples to baptize (baptize) people "in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit", listing the Holy Spirit with the Father and the Son (see Matthew 28:19). The spirit, also known as the "comforter" or "trainer" (John 14:16), gives wisdom and revelation (Eph 1:17) to witness Christ and guide us into all truth (John 15:26, 16:13). He is always with the disciples and intercedes for them (John 14:16-18; Rom 8:26).

Q: How does the Holy Spirit work in people's hearts?

Answer: We can recognize that Jesus Christ is the Lord because of the work of the Holy Spirit in human hearts. The kingdom "could not have said that Jesus was the Lord if it had not been moved by the Holy Spirit" (1 Cor. 12:3). When the spirit comes, it will make people blame themselves for sin, justice and judgment, move people to confess and repent, believe in the Lord Jesus, and give people spiritual life (see John 16:8, 3:5-8).

Q: Why is the body of a believer "the temple of the Holy Spirit"?

Answer: Because the Holy Spirit lives in us, our body becomes the temple of the Holy Spirit and the place where God lives through the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 6:19). Therefore, we must remove all filth from the body and soul, because the Holy Spirit is a holy spirit and a holy spirit. He cannot live in an unclean heart. The Holy Spirit moved us to "be holy" (1 Pet 1:2; 2 Thes 2:13).

Q: What is the manifestation of the Holy Spirit's fullness?

Answer: (1) Have the ability to testify to the Lord (Acts 1:8, 23:1-4); (2) Be wise and understand the will of the Lord (cf. 28:3, 31:3; Acts 6:3; Ephesians 5:15-18); (3) Produce rich fruit of the Holy Spirit, and fill it with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and temperance from the Holy Spirit (see 5:22-23).

Q: What does the gift of the Holy Spirit mean?

A: Broadly speaking, the gift of the Holy Spirit refers to the salvation of God through Christ. All the grace that God has given us in Christ can be seen as the gift of the Holy Spirit (cf. 5:15). In a narrow sense, the gift of the Holy Spirit refers to the different abilities or abilities that the Holy Spirit has given to each person in order to fulfill God's trust in the process of building the church (1 Cor. 12:4-7; Eph. 4:11-16).

Q: Do all ages, churches and believers receive the same gifts?

A: Not all the same. The gifts received by the Corinthian church and the Ephesian church are not exactly the same as those received by the Roman church (see 1 Cor. 12:38; Eph 4:11; Rom. 12:6-8). As for the gifts that each person receives from God, it is "one is this, and the other is that" (1 Cor. 7:7). These are all things that the Holy Spirit "distributes to everyone according to his will" in order to benefit everyone (1 Cor. 12:7-10, 11). Therefore, among all kinds of gifts, let us yearn for the gift of building the church (1 Cor. 14:12).

Q: What is "destroying the touch of the Holy Spirit" and "misusing the gift of the Holy Spirit"?

Answer: After we have received grace, we should examine everything under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The good and the beautiful should keep all kinds of evil things and abstain from doing. Therefore, to obey the guidance of the Holy Spirit is to "destroy the touch of the Holy Spirit" (1 Thess 5:19-22). "The Holy Spirit is shown to everyone for the benefit of others" (1 Thess 12:7), "in order to complete the saints, each of them should do his duty and build the body of Christ" (Eph 4:12). If you take the gift of the Holy Spirit as a means to show off yourself or pursue personal fame and wealth, it is a misuse of the gift, which is not beneficial to yourself and others (1 Cor. 13:1-2). It is not enough to seek to build yourself without building the church (1 Cor. 14:1-9). As for those who commit crimes in the name of "spiritual grace", they are even more insulting to the gracious Holy Spirit, and will be punished more severely (see Heb 10:26-31).

Zhuge Changqing: This is an advanced state, just as the Buddha said in the Vajra Sutra: Everything that is done is like a dream and a bubble, like dew and electricity, so we should do it. As Lao Tzu said in the "Tao Te Ching", "Tao can be taught and is very important".

（5） Salvation

Zhuge Changqing: This part is about gratitude in the basic knowledge of Christianity.

Q: How was man made?

Answer: According to the Bible, man was created by God from the dust on the earth, but he was created in the image of God (see Genesis 1:26). And God blew his anger into his nostrils, making him a living man with spirit. So the Bible says that man is the glory of God, because man is the masterpiece of God's creation (1 Cor. 11:7).

Zhuge Changqing: These stories of Christianity are the same as those of Chinese Taoist Fu Xi Nu Wa.

Q: How do you understand that man is created in the image of God?

Answer: It mainly means that people are created according to God's temperament, that is, God's love, God's righteousness and holiness, as well as God's wisdom, knowledge and free will. The Bible describes the image of God as "righteousness and holiness with truth" (Eph. 4:24). After Adam fell, although the world has sinned and lost the glory of God, it is still possible for mankind to record, know and love God; He still has the heart of right and wrong, and the desire to seek truth, justice and holiness; There is still a love relationship between people (Sam. 2:14-15, 3:23).

Q: How did Adam, the ancestor of mankind, fall?

Answer: Satan seduced Adam and his wife Eve by snakes, and made them disobey the word of God and eat the fruit of the tree of good and evil that God forbid them to eat (see Genesis 2:16-17). Since man has sinned, his relationship with God has lost harmony, and the relationship between man and man has also lost harmony (see Genesis 3:1-19, 4:1-15).

Zhuge Changqing: This is to remind people to put down greed, hatred, and delusion, and not to kill and steal, drink, drink, drink, drink, drink, drink, and sleep. Be alert to yourself at all times before you leap.

Q: After Adam fell, did God discard the man he created?

A: No, God is looking for people. He called Adam and said, "Where are you?" He asked Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?" (Genesis 3:9, 4:9) Since then, God has been looking for people, implementing the redemption of mankind, and has been waiting for the reconciliation between man and his and between people. The whole human history revealed by the Bible is a history of God's search for human beings, a history of God's redemption of human beings, until he lives with people in person, there is no death, sorrow, crying, pain in the world, and everything is updated (see Revelation 21:1-5).

Q: What is the reason why Christ Jesus died and bled?

Answer: When we were still sinners, when we were still far away from God, and when we were enemies with God, Christ Jesus died for us. This shows the love of God, so that we can be reconciled with God through his death (Sam. 5:8-11). He made the sinless one sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ. He reconciled the world to himself in Christ and did not impute their transgressions to them (2 Cor. 5:19-21).

Q: What is justification?

Answer: Justification means being counted as righteous, and sinners are not considered as sinners by God in Christ Jesus (Sam. 4:22-25); Sin is forgiven, reconciled with God, and saved (Sam. 4:7, 5:1).

Q: How can people be justified?

Answer: "Justification is done by faith", not by performing meritorious deeds, not by abiding by the laws and regulations of the Jews, but "by the grace of God, because of the redemption of Christ Jesus, it is justified in vain" (Sam. 3:23-28). For the righteousness of God is added to all who believe by faith in Jesus Christ (Sam. 3:22). But this does not mean that the law will be abolished, but that justification is not based on the merit of the law. The scripture says, "So have we abolished the law because of faith? Absolutely not! It is more to strengthen the law" (Rom. 3:31). The Lord Jesus said, "I have not come to abolish, but to complete" (Matthew 5:17); He put forward higher requirements on how to obey the law (see Matthew 5:20-48).

Q: Why does James say that "people are justified by deeds, not just by faith"?

Answer: This is not contradictory. True faith must be manifested in behavior, because faith without behavior is dead. True faith is parallel to action, and it is through action that it is complete (see James 2:17, 21-26).

49 Q: What is salvation? How can we be saved?

Answer: To be saved is to be redeemed by God. To be saved by God means to be saved from sin (Matthew 1:21). Salvation is due to grace and faith (Ephesians 2:8).

Q: Since salvation is due to grace, why should we "make efforts to be saved" because of faith?

Answer: We are redeemed by God and justified in the presence of God. It is entirely out of God's free gift. But we should also rely on the help of the Holy Spirit to do our part; We should also strive to clean ourselves. This is how to achieve salvation (2 Corinthians 7:1; Philippians 2:12-13; John 3:3).

Q: Why do believers confess and repent?

Answer: Because we are not "perfect people", and we all have one kind of sin and one kind of debt, so we should confess our sin and repent before God. The Bible tells us, "If we say we are innocent, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in our hearts. If we confess our sins, God is faithful and righteous, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us of all unrighteousness (John 1:8-9).

Zhuge Changqing: repent your sins, restore your peace, and realize a leap of wisdom.

（6） Church

Zhuge Changqing: This part is about the basic knowledge of Christianity in the church.

Q: What does the church mean? What is the foundation of the church

Answer: The church is the congregation chosen by God and redeemed by the blood of the Lord Jesus. The church is the home of God (cf. Tim 3:15), the temple of the Holy Spirit (cf. 2:20-22; 1 Cor. 3:16), the body of Christ, the bride of Christ (cf. 19:7; Eph 1:22-23), the pillar and foundation of truth (cf. Tim 3:15), and a group of believers. The only foundation of the church is Jesus Christ, and there is no other foundation (1 Corinthians 3:11).

Q: Why should the children of God be one?

Answer: Let the disciples become one. This is the prayer before the death of the Lord Jesus Christ. The prayer of the Lord Jesus said, "Holy Father, please keep them in the name that you have given me, so that they can be one, just as we are.... Let them all be one, just as your Father is in me, and I am in you, so that they can also be in us." (John 17:11, 21) The heart of unity is given by the Holy Spirit, so the Bible teaches us to "strive to keep the heart of unity given by the Holy Spirit" (Eph 4:3).

Zhuge Changqing: This is to remind people to always maintain their original compassion.

Q: How do you keep the spirit of unity?

Answer: (1) Be modest, gentle and patient in all things. Everyone thinks others are better than themselves (cf. Phil. 2:2). Accept the brothers accepted by the Lord and enrich themselves from the grace of others (cf. 15:7); (2) "Forgive each other with love", regardless of past estrangement, suspicion and hatred; (3) Communicate with each other in peace, seek common ground while reserving differences, respect each other, and do not repel and attack each other (Ephesians 4:2-3); (4) Keep the new command given by the Lord and love each other as the Lord loves us (see John 13:34-35).

Zhuge Changqing: The modesty, gentleness and patience of Christianity also admonishes people to keep discipline, endure humiliation and make progress.

Q: What is the mission of the church on earth?

Answer: (1) Shepherd the believers, so that they "become one in the truth, know the Son of God, and grow up to be full of the stature of Christ" (Eph. 4:12-13); (2) Witness Christ, preach the gospel, and lead people to the Lord (Mark 16:15); (3) As a "golden lampstand", let the light of God's truth illuminate the world through the church, reveal justice, uphold justice, condemn evil, and drive out the darkness (see Matthew 5:14-16; Rev. 1:12-13); ⑷ Like the Lord Jesus, serve people and society (see Mark 10:45; 1 Peter 4:10-11).

Zhuge Changqing: I am grateful to all the Christian pastors who promote the Dharma, and to all the people who promote the Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. They have made great contributions. They keep the light of humanity's charity burning bright.

Q: What is the significance of worshippers or gatherings?

Answer: On the one hand, you can worship God with your brothers and sisters when you attend church and gathering. Because the Lord had promised: "Wherever two or three people meet in my name, there will be me among them." (Matt. 18:20) On the one hand, brothers and sisters can communicate with each other, serve each other, reflect the love of each other between the members, and care for each other, stimulate love, and encourage good deeds (cf. 10:24-25); They can also hear and learn in the gathering, be cultivated and trained (1 Corinthians 14:31).

Zhuge Changqing: Worship can encourage exchanges and promote each other.

Q: How many sacraments (or sacraments) does the church have?

Answer: There are mainly two kinds, namely baptism (or baptism) and Holy Communion (or bread breaking). These two sacraments (or sacraments) were set up by Christ himself, and are used to show invisible spiritual grace through visible material forms.

Zhuge Changqing: The baptism and communion you often hear are the basic rituals of Christianity

Q: What is the meaning of baptism (or baptism)?

Answer: The meaning of being baptized (or baptized) is to show that our old people have returned to the death of the Lord, buried with him, and raised with Christ to become new people; At the same time, it is also a public demonstration of his determination to be a disciple of the Lord, to forsake sin, to submit to Christ, and to live for the Lord (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:3-4).

Zhuge Changqing: Baptism reminds people to wash away the dust and karma, and restore peace and quiet.

Q: What is the way of baptism (or baptism)?

A: Due to historical reasons, churches in various countries have always had two ways of "water baptism" and "baptism". Local churches can adopt "baptism" or "water point" according to their own traditions or the requirements of believers. When "Baptism" is adopted, it is generally to set up a bath in the chapel or gathering place to facilitate baptism.

Q: What kind of people can be baptized or baptized?

Answer: Those who are baptized or baptized must truly repent, trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and understand some basic principles (if possible, it is better to have a period of study of the Tao); And they have the performance of rebirth in life. After investigation, they are considered qualified (cf. 6:2-4; 1 Peter 3:21).

Zhuge Changqing: If you believe in Christianity, you must sincerely repent, otherwise it will have no effect.

Q: What does the bread and wine (or juice) in the Holy Communion indicate?

A: The broken bread in the Holy Communion (or the bread breaking, or the Lord's supper) shows the body that the Lord gave up for us. The cup of blessing indicates the new covenant that the Lord has made for us (see Matthew 2626-29; Mark 14:22-25; Luke 22:14-20; 1 Cor. 11:23-25).

Q: What is the meaning of receiving the Eucharist or taking part in breaking bread?

Answer: ⑴ Remember the death of the Lord for us; ⑵ Intersect with the life of the Lord and receive the supply of life from the Lord; ⑶ Wait for the coming of the Lord; ⑷ It shows the connection between saints, as if the members belong to the same body; (5) Do as the Lord does (1 Corinthians 10:16-17, 11:23-26; John 6:53-56; Acts 2:42-46); (6) Some brothers and sisters, according to their own tradition, "humility" (or "foot washing") before receiving the Holy Communion is to commemorate the example left by the Lord Jesus, serve each other and forgive each other (see John 13:3-16).

Zhuge Changqing: This is the same as the "merciless and compassionate" advocated by Buddhism, the "good as water" advocated by Taoism, and the "benevolent love" advocated by Confucianism. We are not destined to be merciful and compassionate. It refers to the view that all living beings are in the same body as themselves, and have the absolute compassion of pulling out pain and happiness and equality. That is, the Bodhisattva above the beginning of the earth, takes people born in themselves, takes the sufferings of all living beings as their own sufferings, and has a sad heart. Beiben Mahayana Nirvana Sutra 16 (the second part of the first 12 · 458): 'For example, when parents see their son suffering, they are distressed, and the pain and poison of the first minute, they are unable to leave; The same is true for the Bodhisattva Mahatha who lives in the earth. Seeing that all living beings are entangled by worries and diseases, their hearts are worried, their thoughts are like children, and their pores and blood are flowing out, so the name is "one child" [The sixth volume of Maha, the second volume of the sixth volume of Maha, the second volume of the second volume of Maha, the fourth volume of the Xuanyi of the Dharma Sutra],

Q: What attitude should we take to receive the Eucharist or to break bread?

Answer: ⑴ Accept with confidence; ⑵ Examine yourself. If you are guilty, repent before the Lord, and then eat this cake and drink this cup; ⑶ Distinguish between the body of the Lord and the ordinary eating and drinking, so as not to eat and drink your own sin; (4) We should accept it rightfully, that is, take it seriously and accept it with godliness, so as not to offend the body and blood of the Lord (1 Cor. 11:27-34).

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. We should learn the spirit of Jesus and other saints, dedicate ourselves and benefit the society.

Q: What are the main festivals of the church?

A: There are mainly Christmas and Easter. Christmas commemorates the birth of the Lord on December 25th of the Gregorian calendar. Easter commemorates the resurrection of the Lord on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the lunar equinox. Three days before Easter, Friday, is Good Friday, commemorating the death of the Lord Jesus for us. Some believers believe that they can remember the birth, death and resurrection of the Lord at any time, so they can also not observe the festival on the prescribed day. As for the Old Testament commandment, "Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy" (Exodus 20:8), it is generally observed on Sunday to commemorate the day of the Lord's resurrection; Some are still observed on Saturday.

Zhuge Changqing: Now, Christmas and Easter have spread to all parts of the world as culture.

Q: How should we deal with different traditions of belief and etiquette?

Answer: Under the premise of one Lord, one faith, one baptism (baptism) and one God, we should respect each other for some different traditions, and do not force uniformity or impose on others. The teaching of the Bible is: (1) Don't debate what you doubt; (2) Don't look down on each other and judge each other; ⑶ Accept one another as Christ accepts us; (4) Pursue the things of harmony and the establishment of virtue, and no one will lay down a stumbling block for his brother (Sam. 14:1-19, 15:7; Eph. 4:1-6).

Zhuge Changqing: Jesus Christ hopes that the people of the world will love each other, help each other, stop evil and do good, just like Sakyamuni Buddha, Laozi, Confucius, and Mohammed, to make the world better, let mankind get rid of misery, and return to the happy world.

  今天，诸葛长青分享北京大学laozhang教授的基督教研究文章，关于基督教基础知识。诸葛长青认为，阅读这些基督教基础知识，会让大家迅速了解基督教基本知识；

  （一）圣经

  诸葛长青：这一部分，是关于《圣经》的问题解答汇总。

  1 问：圣经是一本什么样的书？ 

 　答：圣经是我们基督教的经典，是上帝给人的启示，包括有关上帝爱世人，在基督里为人预备救恩的生命之道。圣经分为两大部分，即39卷旧约圣经和27卷新约圣经。"约"指上帝和人所立的契约。“旧约”指上帝和他的选民以***人原来所立的约；后因***人背约犯罪，上帝又赐下他的独生爱子为救赎世人受死流血，和人重新立约。故称原订的约为旧约，重订的约为新约。但新约圣经并不废掉旧约圣经，而是成全旧约圣经。

  诸葛长青建议有缘者可以适当阅读圣经，这样可以在你与信基督教有缘者接触的时候，有交流的文化平台。

   2 问：怎样看待圣经的内容？ 

 　答：圣经都是神所默示的话[提后3：16]，是人被圣灵感动，说出神的话来[彼后1：21]。圣经是我们信仰和行事为人的准则，是我们灵性生命的粮食。

  3 问：为什么要读圣经？ 

　答：读圣经可以使我们（1）因信主耶稣基督是神的儿子而得生命[参约5：39，20：31]；（2）有得救的智慧；（3）接受教训、督责，能以归正学义；（4）得以完全，预备行各样的善事[参提后3：15-17]。

  4 问：读圣经应抱什么态度？ 

 　答：（1）要爱慕神的话，经常读，经常思想；（2）要切实遵行神的话；（3）要将神的话作为食物，从中汲取灵性生命的滋养（参诗1:2，119:97；太4:4；耶15:16）；（4）要虚心寻求，从圣经里探索新的亮光和感动（参太7:7-8，11:25）。

  诸葛长青认为，基督教的《圣经》和佛教的《心经》、《金刚经》、《地藏经》等经典，道家的《道德经》、《清静经》、《太上感应篇》等经典，儒家的《大学》《中庸》《论语》《孟子》《尚书》等，都讲述了宇宙的基本规律，提醒人们要放下贪嗔痴，时刻行善积德，造福人类，实现自我飞跃。

  5 问：读圣经要防止哪些不正确的态度？ 

   答：（1）不可断章取义，要让全部圣经向我们说话；（2）不可随私意曲解圣经，要按正意分解神的道；（3）对不明白的事，不可强解妄解；（4）不应拘泥于字句，而要按照精意来理解，因为“那字句是叫人死，精意是叫人活”（参提后2:15；彼后1:20，3:16；林后3:6）。

  6 问：我们应该怎样对待圣经书本？ 

  答：圣经里面记载着上帝的话，所以我们应该珍惜、爱护。但是，不要把圣经书本神奇化，更不可把圣经用作辟邪的工具。

  7 问：为什么汉文圣经有称" 神"和"上帝"的两种版本？ 

  答：这只是翻译上的不同。“神”和“上帝”在圣经原文本是同一个词，因在我国教会中，有人主张译为“神”，有人主张译为“上帝”，所以长期以来我国教会都保持两种版本，并存并用。

  （二）上帝

   诸葛长青：这一部分，是关于“上帝”的问题解答汇总。

  8 问：“耶和华”是什么意思？ 

  答：“耶和华”是基督教对希伯来文上帝名字的音译，原意为“自有永有”。我们所相信的这一位上帝，是自有永有的（参出3:14-15），是昔在、今在、以后永在的全能者（参启1:4、8）。

  9 问：“三位一体”是什么意思？ 

  答：我们所敬拜的神是独一真神，他有三个位格，即圣父、圣子、圣灵。三位同尊同荣，同受敬拜。在创造和救赎的事工上，父、子、圣灵都是共同工作的。圣经有许多地方都表明三位一体的道理，例如主吩咐门徒要“奉父、子、圣灵的名”给人施洗（参太28：19）；保罗为哥林多教会祝福时也是说：“愿主耶稣基督的恩惠，神的慈爱，圣灵的感动，常与你们众人同在。”（林后13:14）。

  10问：神最根本、最本质的属性（德性，或性情）是什么？ 

  答：神最根本、最本质的属性是“爱”，因为神就是爱（约壹4:8、16）。不但三位一体的关系是爱的关系，神对人的创造、拣选、救赎，也都是出于他的爱。神愿意人能够理解接受他的爱，并能尽心、尽性、尽力、尽意爱他（参路10：27）。神以“永远的爱”爱人，同时又以他的慈爱吸引人（参耶31：3；何11：4）。

  11问：上帝如何爱人？ 

  答：上帝对人的爱，如同三位一体中圣父对圣子的爱一样（参约17：23）。他有怜悯，有恩典，不轻易发怒，且有丰盛的慈爱（参诗103：8）。一切受造之物他都爱护，他的慈爱极其宝贵，世人可以投靠他（参诗36：5-7）。上帝对人类最深的爱，表现在他为了救赎世人，甚至舍了他的独生爱子，藉耶稣基督在十字架上受死，使人与上帝和好，回到他的爱中（参罗8：32；约3：16；约壹4：9-10）。

  12问：天地万物是上帝创造的吗？ 

  答：天地万物都是上帝所创造的（参创1：1-2：3；诗33：6）；并且是属于他的，如《诗篇》所说：“天属你，地也属你；世界和其中所充满的，都为你所建立”（参诗89：11）。所以，万物都在述说上帝的荣耀和大能（参诗19：1）。

  13问：上帝创造万有之后，是否就停止了工作？ 

  答：不，上帝创造万有之后还用他权能的命令托住万有，管理万有。万有不但本于他，而且依靠他，最后还要归于他（参来1：3；罗11：36）。上帝在宇宙中的工作从未停止，特别是在亚当坠落之后，上帝对人类的拯救、召唤、医治、安慰，更是从未停止。所以主耶稣说：“我父作事直到如今，我也作事”（约5：17）。

  14问：上帝是父吗？ 

  答：上帝是万灵之父（参创2：7；来12：9），他将生命、气息赐给万人，但并不是所有的人都认识他。信主的人，由于认识了主耶稣，所以才认识这一位天上的父，能够靠着圣灵得以重生（参约壹2：23；给3：5－6）；并被圣灵引导，呼叫他为“阿爸，父”（参加4：5－6）。但不是单凭口说，更要在行事为人中彰显出上帝的公义来，因为经上说：“凡行公义之人都是他所生的”，“凡从上帝生的，就不犯罪”，“他也不能犯罪，因为他是由上帝生的”（约壹2：29，3：9）。

  15问：人类历史也在神的管理之下吗？ 

  答：是的，神是人类历史的主宰，他“在人的国中掌权”；他“扶持谦卑人，将恶人倾覆于地”，并能“立极卑微的人执掌国权”（诗147：6；但4：17）。他的权柄“统管万有”，他从起初便“宣召历代”，主宰着整个人类历史（参诗103：19；赛41：4）。愿一切荣耀、威严、能力、权柄，都归与他，从万古以前，并现今，直到永永远远（参林前2：10；犹25）。

  16问：如何理解神的圣洁？ 

  答：神是圣洁的（参利19：2；彼前1：15）。他名为“圣者”（参赛57：15）。又名为“忌邪者”（参出34：14）。他“眼目清洁，不看邪僻，不看奸恶”（哈1：13）。恶人的道路，为他所憎恶；追求公义的，为他所喜爱（参箴15：9）。

  17问：如何理解上帝的公义？ 

  答：上帝是一位公义的上帝（参赛45：21），“他一切所行的，无不公义”（诗145：17）。“他喜爱公义，正直人必得见他的面”；“惟有恶人和喜爱强暴的人，他心里恨恶”（诗11：4－7）。他“万不以有罪的为无罪”（出34：7）。上帝不能容忍人对人的欺压，所以圣经称他是孤儿的父，是为穷人和受欺压者伸冤的上帝（参诗68：5）。上帝所喜悦的，不是向他献上“千千的公羊，或是万万的油河”，他要求于世人的，是作公义，好怜悯，存谦卑的心与他同行（参弥6：6－8）。他不偏待人，在审判的日子必照各人的行为报应各人，显出他的公义（参罗2：5－11）。 

  18问：如何理解上帝的信实？ 

  答：上帝是一位信实的上帝（参申7：9；林前1：9），他对人的爱永不改变。即使人背离他，他也不忍舍弃人（参何11：8）。经上说，“我们纵然失信，他仍是可信的，因为他不能背乎自己”（提后2：13）。他赐福给人的一切应许，不论有多少，都要藉着耶稣基督得以成就（参林后1：20）。

  19问：祷告是什么意思？祷告的内容是什么？有没有一定的形式？祷告结束的时候为什么要说“奉主的名”和“阿们”？ 

  答：祷告是人和神说话，与神交通，向神求告。祷告的内容主要包括向神感恩（参诗95：2；腓4：6），求神赦罪（参诗51：1－3，19：12－13），为人代求（参提前2：1）等。祷告没有一定的形式，可以出声祷告，也可以在心里默祷；可以使用一定的祷文，也可以不用固定的祷文；可以跪着祷告，也可以站着或坐着祷告；可以在清晨或晚上定时祷告；也可以随时随地不住地祷告（参帖前5：17－18）。祷告结束时说："奉主的名"这是主耶稣自己的吩咐和应许（参约14：13－14）。最后说“阿们”，意思是“实实在在”、“诚心所愿”。

  诸葛长青：人们发现信耶稣基督的人经常说阿门，这里含义是“实实在在”、“诚心所愿”

  20问：我们应当为哪些事情祷告？ 

  答：我们要求神的国和神的义，也就是祈求神的旨意行在地上，如同行在天上（参太6：33、9－13）。此外，要为天父赐给我们的衣食需用向神谢恩；在神面前承认自己的罪，求天父赦免饶恕（参约壹1：8－10）。我们还应当恳求天父引导我们每天的生活和工作，使我们能够以耶稣的心为心，行事为人与蒙召的恩相称，凡事让父神的名得荣耀。

  21问：我们应该为别人祷告吗？ 

  答：圣经教导我们：“要为万人恳求、祷告、代求、祝谢”（提前2：1）。这里的“万人”既包括主内的弟兄姊妹，也包括我们的骨肉同胞和世界各国人民。我们既要为教会祷告，也要为我们国家的昌盛、平安祷告，并为世界和平和人类进步祷告。

  诸葛长青：这里为世界人类祷告，体现了佛菩萨博爱精神，所以，各类宗教的核心是一样的，都是为了人类止恶行善、更加幸福。

  22问：我们祷告的时候应当注意什么？ 

  答：（1）要按着神的意思求，让神的意思成就在我们身上，不可按自己的私意妄求（参太26：39－42，20：20－23）； 

  （2）要真心诚意祷告暗中的父，不可假冒为善，故意叫人看见（参太6：5－6）； 

  （3）要存心谦卑，不可自以为义（参路18：9－14）； 

  （4）要凭着信心求，不疑惑（参太21：22；来11：6；雅1：6）； 

  （5）在为病人祷告时，不可禁止他们就医用药（参提前5：23；路5：31；西4：14）。

  (三）基督

    诸葛长青：这一部分是讲述关于耶稣基督的问答。

  23问：耶稣基督是谁？

  答：耶稣基督是父神的独生爱子，是三位一体神的第二位。他本有神的形像，与神同等。他太初就与神同在，与父原为一。万物都是藉着他创造的，他是真神，也是永生，即永恒的生命（参约1：1－3：18，10：30；腓2：6；约壹5：20）。

  诸葛长青：耶稣，是上帝分灵下凡。

  24问：耶稣基督是怎样降世为人的？ 

  答：耶稣基督是由圣灵感孕，童贞女马利亚所生，一千九百多年前，降生在犹太的伯利恒，后来在加利利的拿撒勒长大成人，年轻时作过木匠。关于主耶稣的童年，圣经记载不多。《路加福音》记载，他曾在圣殿里听道，并且顺从父母；又概括地说：“耶稣的智慧和身量，并神和人喜爱他的心，都一齐增长”（参路2：41－52）。

   诸葛长青：大家经常说的“圣母玛利亚”就是耶稣基督的母亲。

  25问：“道成肉身”是什么意思？ 

  答：“道”是指太初与 神同在的圣子，道成肉身就是“ 神在肉身显现”，“成为人的样式”（参提前3：16；腓2：7－8）；乃是天上的、属灵的、肉眼不能看见的神，成为地上的、物质的、有形有体的人，在人的性情与人的形体中显现神，这就是耶稣基督。所以耶稣基督既有完全的神性，又有完全的人性。

  诸葛长青：耶稣肉身成圣，和儒家孔子成圣、道家老子成圣、佛家释迦牟尼佛成圣等，都是一样的。

  26问：主耶稣所传的"天国的福音"是什么意思？ 

  答：“天国”，指神作王，作主宰。神是人类历史的主宰,也要在人心里成为主宰(路11:2,17:20-21).主耶稣传的"天国的福音",就是告诉世人"天国近了"的好消息,父的国和父的旨意都要在地上实现和施行出来,如同在天上一样(参太6:9-10)."天国"还指将来的国度,即"永远的国"(太26:29;诗145:13;启11:15).

  诸葛长青：为何信基督教的人们经常说上帝的福音，意思是传播了上帝的思想意识。传播了幸福的声音。

  27问：主耶稣在地上作为一个人，给我们留下了什么榜样？ 

  答：主要是：（1）主耶稣在地上遵守了天父的命令，使天父的名得到荣耀（参约15：10，12：28，17：4）。他要我们也如此遵行父命，荣耀父名（参太28：20；约14：21；太5：16；约15：8）；（2）他对人的爱与怜悯，对罪恶的憎恶与义怒，彰显了父的慈爱与公义；他教导我们也要完全，像天父完全一样（参太5：48）；（3）他要我们谦卑，服事人，因为他自己到世上来,"不是要受人的服事，乃是要服事人，并且要舍命，作为人的赎价"（太20：28）。

  诸葛长青：耶稣一生，奉献人类，是学习的榜样。

  28问：主耶稣行过不少神迹奇事，为什么有时又责备或避开那些求神迹的人？

  答：对法利赛人和撒都该人来说，他们根本不会因看见神迹而相信耶稣是基督，所以主耶稣责备他们，拒绝给他们行神迹（参太16：1－4）。对那些因吃饼得饱找耶稣的人，他也不愿再行神迹，因为他们找耶稣只是单纯为了满足肉身的需要，而不是寻求生命的粮、永生的道（参约6： 24－36、68）。更重要的是，主耶稣奉父差遣到地上来的主要使命是传天国的福音，而不是为人赶鬼治病（参路4：40－44）。

   诸葛长青：耶稣希望人们不能苛求神通，要时刻止恶行善，这是根本。也与佛家、道家、儒家不主张神通是一致的。

  29问：主耶稣怎样看待摩西的律法？ 

  答：他来不是要废掉律法，乃是要成全（参太5：17）。他对门徒提出了更高的要求（参太5：21－28），并且把律法上的诫命归结为这样两条："你要尽心、尽性、尽意，爱主你的神"，又要"爱人如己"（参太22：37－40）。

  诸葛长青：基督教有几本戒律，譬如《摩西十诫》第五条：“当孝敬父母。”第六条：“不可杀人。”第七条：“不可奸淫。”第八条：“不可偷盗。”第九条：“不可做假见证陷害人。”第十条：“不可贪恋他人的房屋；也不可贪恋人的妻子、仆婢、牛驴，并他一切所有的。”等，这些都和儒教、佛教、道教的止恶行善是一致的。摩西，摩西是公元前13世纪时犹太人的民族领袖。史学界认为他是犹太教的创始者。在犹太教、基督教、伊斯兰教和巴哈伊信仰等宗教里都被认为是极为重要的先知。按照以色列人的传承，摩西五经便是由其所著。出埃及记中记载，摩西受上帝之命，率领被奴役的希伯来人逃离古埃及，前往一块富饶之地:迦南地。经历40多年的艰难跋涉，他在就要到达目的地的时候去世了。在摩西的带领下，希伯来人摆脱了被奴役的悲惨生活，学会遵守十诫，并成为历史上首个尊奉单一神宗教的民族。《摩西十诫》又称"十诫"，传说是神在西奈山的山顶亲自传达给摩西的，是神对以色列人的告诫。神本人将这些话刻在石碑上，送给摩西。但是，后来摩西看到族人根本不听从这些诫条，一怒之下就将石碑毁了。神又命令摩西再制作新的石碑，完成后，放在约柜(Ark of the Covenant)里。

  30问：主耶稣为什么被钉在十字架上？ 

  答：由于犹太祭司长和法利赛人的诬告，主耶稣被罗马巡抚本丢•彼拉多钉死在十字架上。他没有罪，却为担当我们的罪而死，使我们既然在罪上死，就得以在义上活（参彼前2：24）。

  31问：主耶稣死后一直埋在坟墓里吗？ 

  答：不，他死后第三天就从死里复活了。因为他是神的儿子、他是生命之主，原不能被死拘禁（参罗1：3－4；徒2：24）。主耶稣复活之后，曾多次向门徒显现（参林前15：3－8；太28： 8－20；可16：9－20；路24：13－50；约20：11－21：23），有四十天之久，向门徒讲说神国的事（参徒1：3－5）。然后，便升上高天，坐在父的右边（参罗8：34；西3：1；来1：3）。基督复活是为使我们称义，并成为睡了之人初熟的果子（参罗4：25；林前15：20）。如今，他是长远活着，替我们祈求（参来7：25）。

  32问：基督还要再来（复临）吗？ 

  答：是的，基督还要再来（复临），这是他自己的应许（参太16：27；约14：1－3）。他再来的时候，（1）要审判活人、死人（参提后4：1；彼前4：5），要"按各人行为审判人"， "照各人的行为报应各人"（参彼前1：17；罗2：6）。他的审判，要从神的家开始（参彼前4：17；林后5：10），并要按公义审判天下（参徒17：31）；（2）教会已经"预备好了，就如新妇妆饰整齐，等候撒但及其使者都毁灭了，"尽末了所毁灭的仇敌，就是死"（参林前15：24－26）；（4）人类历史将进入一个被更新了的新天新地。神要亲自与人同住，擦去他们一切的眼泪，不再有死亡，也不再有悲哀、哭号、疼痛，因为以前的事都过去了（参启21：1－5）。一切受造之物都将脱离败坏的辖制，得享神儿女自由的荣耀（参罗8：19－22）。人类"认识耶和华的知识要充满遍地，好象水充满洋海一般"（赛11：9）。

  诸葛长青：耶稣基督犹如佛菩萨、善神一样，时刻护佑地球人类。

  33问：基督再来（复临）的日子，我们能知道吗？ 

  答：基督再来（复临），是历代圣徒的盼望；但他再来的具体时间没有人能知道，也没有人能推算出来。主耶稣在世时说过：“那日子，那时辰，没有人知道，连天上的使者也不知道，子也不知道，惟有父知道”（可13：32）。所以，在主还没有再来之前，我们应当敬虔度日，儆醒等候，努力做好主所安排并托付的各种工作。因为他来的时候，要按我们在世上的行为和工作审判我们（参太7：21－27，25：31－46；林前6：9－10；弗5：5；启22：10－15）。

  （四）圣灵

   诸葛长青：这一部分是基督教基础知识中“圣灵”的解答。

  34问：圣灵是谁？

  答：圣灵是三位一体神的第三位。主耶稣吩咐门徒要“奉父、子、圣灵的名”给人施洗（浸），将圣灵与父、子同列（参太28：19）。灵又称为"保惠师"或"训慰师"（参约14：16），他赐人智慧和启示（弗1：17），为基督作见证，引导我们进入一切真理（参约15：26，16：13）他永远与门徒同在，并为门徒代求（参约14：16－18；罗8：26）。

  35问：圣灵怎样在人心里工作？ 

  答：我们能承认耶稣基督为主，就是出于圣灵在人心中的工作。国“若不是被圣灵感动的，也没能说耶稣是主的”（林前12：3）。灵来了，使人为罪、为义、为审判，自己责备自己，感动人认罪悔改，信主耶稣，并使人得属灵的生命（参约16：8，3：5－8）。

  36问：为什么说信徒的身子是“圣灵的殿”？ 

  答：因为圣灵住在我们里面，我们的身子就成为圣灵的殿，成为神藉着圣灵居住的所在（参林前6：19）。所以我们一定要除去身体灵魂一切的污秽，因为圣灵是圣洁的灵，是圣善的灵，他不能住在不洁净的心里。圣灵感动我们，是要我们"成为圣洁"（参彼前1：2；帖后2：13）。

  37问：圣灵充满的表现是怎样的？ 

  答：（1）有能力为主作见证（参徒1：8，23：1－4）；（2）有智慧，能明白主的旨意（参出28：3，31：3；徒6：3；弗5：15－18）；（3）结出丰富的圣灵的果子来，充满从圣灵而来的仁爱、喜乐、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信实、温柔、节制（参加5：22－23）。

  38问：圣灵的恩赐是什么意思？ 

  答：广义地说，圣灵的恩赐是指神藉基督完成的救恩。神在基督里赐给我们一切的恩惠，都可以看为圣灵的恩赐（参罗5：15）。狭义地说，圣灵的恩赐是指圣灵在建立教会过程中，为完成神的托付赐给各人的不同的才干或才能（参林前12：4－7；弗4：11－16）。

  39问：各个时代、各个教会、各个信徒所领受的恩赐都一样吗？ 

  答：不都一样。哥林多教会和以弗所教会所领受的恩赐就不完全一样，和罗马教会所领受的恩赐也不完全一样（参林前12：38；弗4：11；罗12：6－8）。至于各个人从神所领受的恩赐，更是"一个是这样，一个是那样"（参林前7：7）。这都是圣灵"随己意分给各人的"，为要使众人得益处（参林前12：7－10、11）。所以，在各样恩赐中，我们当切慕那造就教会的恩赐（参林前14：12）。

  40问：什么叫“消灭圣灵的感动”和“妄用圣灵的恩赐”？ 

  答：我们蒙恩之后，要在圣灵的引领之下，凡事察验，善美的要持守各样的恶事禁戒不作。不如此顺从圣灵的引导，就是“消灭圣灵的感动”（参帖前5：19－22）。"圣灵显在各人身上，是叫人得益处"（帖前12：7），"为要成全圣徒，各尽其职，建立基督的身体"（弗4：12）。如果把圣灵的恩赐当作炫耀自己或追求个人名利的手段，就属于妄用恩赐，对己对人都没有益处（参林前13：1－2）。只求造就自己而不求造就教会，也是不足取的（参林前14：1－9）。至于假借"灵恩"的名而行犯罪的事，更是亵慢施恩的圣灵，必将加重受罚（参来10：26－31）。

   诸葛长青：这个境界是高级境界，就如佛在金刚经上说的：一切有为法如梦幻泡影，如露亦如电，应作如是观。就如老子在《道德经》上说的“道可道、非常道”。

  （五）救恩

  诸葛长青：这一部分是基督教基础知识中关于感恩的内容。

  41问：人是怎样被造的？ 

 　答：据圣经记载，人是神用地上的尘土造的，但又是按照神的形像造的（参创1：26），并且神将生气吹鼻孔里，使他成了有灵的活人。所以圣经称人是神的荣耀，因为人是神创造之工的杰作（参林前11：7）。

   诸葛长青：基督教的这些故事，和中国道家的伏羲女娲造人一个道理。

  42问：怎样理解人是按神的形象造的？ 

 　答：主要指人是按照 神的性情，也就是 神的爱，神的公义和圣洁，以及神的智慧和知识与自由意志等而被造的。圣经对神的形象的描述是：“有真理的仁义和圣洁”（弗4：24）。亚当跌倒之后，尽管世人都犯了罪，亏缺了神的荣耀，但人类仍然有录求神、认识神、爱神的可能；仍然有是非之心，有寻求真理、公义与圣洁的愿望；人与人之间也仍然有爱的关系（参罗2：14－15，3：23）。

  43问：人类的始祖亚当是怎样坠落的？ 

 　答：撒但藉着蛇引诱亚当和他的妻子夏娃，使他们违背上帝的话，吃了上帝禁止他们吃的分别善恶树的果子（参创2：16－17）。人既然犯了罪，便与上帝的关系失去了和谐，从而人与人之间的关系也失去了和谐（参创3：1－19，4：1－15）。

  诸葛长青：这是提醒人们放下贪嗔痴，不要杀盗妄淫酒、贪嗔痴慢疑、财色名食睡。时刻警醒自己，才会飞跃。

  44问：亚当坠落之后，神就丢弃了他所造的人吗？ 

 　答：不，神在寻找人。他呼唤亚当说：“你在哪里？”他问该隐说：“你兄弟亚伯在哪里？”（参创3：9，4：9）此后，神一直在寻找人，施行对人类的救赎，一直在等待人与他的复和以及人与人之间的复和。圣经所启示的整个人类历史，就是一部神寻找人的历史，一部神救赎人的历史，直到他亲自与人同住，人间不再有死亡、悲哀、哭号、疼痛，一切都被更新为止（参启21：1-5）。

  45问：基督耶稣受死流血是为了什么？ 

 　答：在我们还作罪人的时候，在我们还远离 神，与神为仇的时候，基督耶稣为我们而死，这就显明了神的爱，使我们藉着他的死得与神和好（参罗5：8-11）。他使那无罪的，替我们成为罪，好叫我们在基督里面成为神的义。他在基督里叫世人与自己和好，不将他们的过犯归到他们身上（参林后5：19-21）。

  46问：什么叫称义？ 

 　答：称义的意思是被算为义，罪人在基督耶稣里不被神看为罪人（参罗4：22-25）；罪得赦免，与神和好，得蒙拯救（参罗4：7，5：1）。

  47问：人怎样才能称义？ 

 　答：“人称义是因着信”，不是用立功之法，不是靠遵守犹太人的律法规条，而是 "蒙神的恩典，因基督耶稣的救赎，就白白的称义"（参罗3：23-28）。因为神的义因信耶稣基督加给一切相信的人（参罗3：22）。但这并不是说律法要废掉，只是说称义不是靠行律法的功劳。经上说："这样，我们因信废了律法吗？断乎不是！更是坚固律法"（罗3：31）。主耶稣说："我来不是要废掉，乃是要成全"（太5：17）；他对如何遵行律法提出了更高的要求（参太5：20-48）。

  48问：《雅各书》为什么说"人称义是因着行为，不是单因着信"呢？ 

 　答：这是不矛盾的，真正的信心必然要表现在行为上，因为信心若没有行为就是死的。真正的信心是与行为并行，而且因着行为才得完全（参雅2：17、21-26）。

  49问：什么叫得救？怎样才能得救？ 

  　答：得救就是蒙神救赎，蒙神拯救，指脱离罪恶，从罪恶里被救出来（参太1：21）。得救是本乎恩，也因着信（参弗2：8）。

  50问：既然得救是本乎恩，因着信，为什么还要"作成得救的功夫"呢？ 

 　答：我们蒙神救赎，在神的面前得称为义，完全是出于神白白的恩赐。但我们也还要依靠圣灵的帮助，尽上自己的本分；还要努力追求，洁净自己。这就是作成得救的功夫（参林后7：1；腓2：12-13；约壹3：3）。

  51问：信主的人为什么还要认罪悔改？ 

  　答：因为我们都不是“完全人”，都还有这样或那样的过犯和亏欠，所以要在神面前认罪悔改。圣经告诉我们：“我们若说自己无罪，便是自欺，真理不在我们心里了。我们若认自己的罪，神是信实的，是公义的，必要赦免我们的罪，洗净我们一切的不义（约壹1：8-9）。

  诸葛长青：忏悔罪业，恢复清静自身，实现智慧飞跃。

  （六）教会

   诸葛长青：这一部分，是关于教会的基督教基础知识问答。

  55问：教会是什么意思？什么是教会的根基？

 　答：教会就是蒙神选召，蒙主耶稣用宝血所救赎的会众。教会是神的家（参提前3：15）、圣灵的殿（参弗2：20—22；林前3：16），是基督的身体、基督的新妇（参启19：7；弗1：22—23），是真理的柱石和根基（参提前3：15），也是有信徒组成的团体。教会的唯一根基就是耶稣基督，除此之外再没有别的根基（参林前3：11）。

  61问：上帝的儿女为什么要合而为一？

 　答：要门徒合而为一，这是主耶稣基督离世之前的祷告。主耶稣的祷告说：“圣父啊，求你因你所赐给我的名保守他们，叫他们合而为一，象我们一样。……使他们都合而为一，正如你父在我里面，我在你里面，使他们也在我们里面。”（约17：11、21）合而为一的心，是出于圣灵所赐，所以圣经教导我们，要“竭力保守圣灵所赐合而为一的心”（弗4：3）。

  诸葛长青：这是提醒人们时刻保持本来的慈悲善心。

  62问：如何保守圣灵所赐合而为一的心？

  　答：⑴凡事谦虚、温柔、忍耐，各人看别人比自己强（参腓2：2），接纳主所接纳的弟兄，从别人所蒙的恩典中丰富自己（参罗15：7）；⑵“用爱心互相宽容”，不计较过去的隔阂、嫌隙与冤仇；　⑶用和平彼此联络，求同存异，相互尊重，不做互相排斥，互相攻击的事（参弗4：2—3）；⑷遵守主所赐的新命令，彼此相爱，像主爱我们那样（参约13：34—35）。

  诸葛长青：基督教的谦虚温柔忍耐，也是告诫人们持戒忍辱精进。

  63问：教会在地上的使命是什么？

 　答：⑴牧养信徒，使众人“在真道上同归于一，认识神的儿子，得以长大成人，满有基督长成的身量”（弗4：12—13）；⑵见证基督，传扬福音，领人归主（参可16：15）；⑶作“金灯台”，让神真理的光藉教会照亮世界，彰显公理，伸张正义，谴责邪恶，驱除幽暗（参太5：14—16；启1：12—13）；⑷像主耶稣那样，服侍人，服务社会（参可10：45；彼前4：10—11）。

  诸葛长青：感恩所有弘法的基督教牧师、感恩所有儒释道弘法人员，他们功德无量。他们让人类的慈善之灯始终燃烧明亮。

  64问：信徒作礼拜或参加聚会有什么意义？

  　答：参加礼拜和聚会，一方面是可以和弟兄姊妹一同敬拜上帝。因为主曾应许：“无论在哪里，有两三个人奉我的名聚会，那里就有我在他们中间。”（太18：20）一方面是弟兄姊妹之间可以相互交通，相互服事，体现肢体之间的彼此相爱，又能彼此相顾，激发爱心，勉励行善（参来10：24—25）；并能在聚会中听道学道，受栽培，受造就（参林前14：31）。

  诸葛长青：做礼拜可以相互鼓励交流，共同提升。

  65问：教会有那几中圣礼（或圣事）？

 　答：主要有两种，即洗礼（或称浸礼）和圣餐（或称掰饼）。这两种圣礼（或圣事）是基督亲自设立的，是通过可以看见的物质形式来表明看不见的属灵恩典。

  诸葛长青：大家经常听到的洗礼、圣餐，是基督教的基本仪式（ritual）

  66问：洗礼（或浸礼）的意义是什么？

  答：受洗（或受浸）的意义是表明我们的旧人归入主的死，和他一同埋葬，又与基督一同复活而成为新人；同时也是当众表明自己立志作主门徒，离弃罪恶，归顺基督，为主而活（参太28：19；徒2：38；罗6：3—4）。

   诸葛长青：洗礼提醒人们，洗去灰尘罪业业障，恢复清静自身。

   67问：洗礼（或浸礼）的方式怎样？

  　答：由于历史的原因，各国教会一直有“点水礼”和“浸礼”两种方式。各地教会可根据各自的传统或信徒的要求采用“浸礼”或“点水礼”。采用“浸礼”时，一般是在礼拜堂或聚会的地方设一浸池，便于施浸。

  68问：什么样的人才可以受洗或受浸？

 　答：受洗或受浸的人，必须是真正悔改，信靠主耶稣基督为主，明白一些基本道理（如果可能，最好经过一段时间的慕道学习）；并且在生活上有重生表现，经过考察，被认为合格的人（参罗6：2—4；彼前3：21）。

  诸葛长青：信奉基督教，必须诚心诚意，真诚忏悔，否则没有效果。

  69问：圣餐中的饼和葡萄酒（或汁）表明什么？

 　答：圣餐（或称掰饼，或称主的晚餐）中掰开的饼，表明主为我们所舍的身体。祝福的杯,表明主为我们所立的新约(参太2626—29；可14：22—25；路22：14—20；林前11：23—25）。

  70问：领圣餐或参加掰饼的意义何在？

  　答：⑴纪念主为我们受死；⑵与主的生命相交，从主领受生命的供应；⑶等候主的再来；⑷表明圣徒之间的相通，犹如肢体同属一个身体；⑸按主所行的去行（参林前10：16—17，11：23—26；约6：53—56；徒2：42—46）；⑹有的弟兄姊妹，按自己的传统在领圣餐前行“谦卑礼”（或称“洗脚礼”），在于纪念主耶稣留下的榜样，彼此服侍，互相饶恕（参约13：3—16）。

  诸葛长青：这和佛教提倡的“无缘大慈，同体大悲”、道家的提倡的“上善若水”、儒家提倡的“仁者爱人”是一样的。无缘大慈、同体大悲。指观一切众生与己身同体，而生起拔苦与乐、平等绝对之悲心。亦即初地以上之菩萨，摄众生于自体，以众生之苦为己苦，生起哀伤之心。北本大般涅盘经卷十六（大一二·四五八下）：‘譬如父母见子遇患，心生苦恼，愍之愁毒，初无舍离；菩萨摩诃萨住是地中亦复如是，见诸众生为烦恼病之所缠切，心生愁恼，忧念如子，身诸毛孔，血皆流出，是故此地名为一子。’[摩诃止观卷六上、止观辅行传弘决卷六之二、法华经玄义卷四下],

  72问：应当用什么态度来领受圣餐或参加掰饼？

  　答：⑴用信心领受；⑵省察自己，如果有罪，应当在主面前悔改，然后吃这饼，喝这杯；⑶要分辨是主的身体，不是一般的吃喝，免得吃喝自己的罪；⑷要按理领受，也就是郑重其事，存敬虔的心领受，免得干犯主的身、主的血（参林前11：27—34）。

  诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。我们要学习耶稣等圣人精神，奉献自己，造福社会。

  73问：教会有哪些主要节日？

  　答：主要有圣诞节和复活节。圣诞节在公历12月25日，纪念主的降生。复活节在农历春分后第一次月圆后的第一个礼拜日，纪念主的复活。复活节前三日，即礼拜五，是受难节，纪念主耶稣为我们受死。有的信徒认为，可以随时纪念主的降生、受死与复活，所以也可以不在规定的日子里守节。对于旧约诫命中所说“当纪念安息日，守为圣日”（出20：8），一般都因纪念主复活的日子而放在礼拜日遵守；有的仍放在礼拜六遵守。

  诸葛长青：现在，圣诞节、复活节已经作为文化传播到世界各地了。

  74问：对信仰和礼仪上的不同传统，应该如何对待？

  答：在一主，一信，一洗（浸），一神的前提下，对某些不同传统，应当互相尊重，不必强求一律，也不要强加于人。圣经的教导是：⑴不要辩论所疑惑的事；⑵彼此之间不可轻看，不可彼此论断；⑶彼此接纳，如同基督接纳我们一样；⑷务要追求和睦的事和建立德行的事，谁也不给弟兄放下绊脚跌人之物（参罗14：1—19，15：7；弗4：1—6）。

  诸葛长青：耶稣基督，希望世界人相互关爱，相互帮助，止恶行善，犹如释迦牟尼佛、老子、孔子、默罕默德一样，让人间更美好，让人类脱离苦恼，回归幸福世界。（本文参考资料：北京大学laozhang教授基督教文化研究资料；诸葛长青儒释道耶回文化研究）
