伊甸圣经长老会 - 信徒教育播客

约伯在极大的痛苦中回应以利法。他承认自己的言语急躁，却指出受苦之人的呻吟并非毫无原因。面对朋友缺乏同情、反而不断指责，约伯渴望得到理解与安慰。

本课将帮助我们思考：

• 约伯为什么在苦难中求死？
• 受苦的人为什么需要慈爱，而不是定罪？
• 以利法为何被比喻为“诡诈的溪水”？
• 我们应该如何陪伴灰心和软弱的人？
• 苦难中如何继续仰望神，并谨慎使用自己的言语？

愿我们从约伯的经历中学习：不要在别人的伤口上撒盐，而要成为带来安慰、扶持和盼望的人。

Job answers Eliphaz out of deep anguish. He admits his words have been rash, yet insists that a sufferer's groaning is never without cause. Faced with friends who show no compassion and keep accusing him, Job longs to be understood and comforted. This lesson invites us to reflect on:

• Why does Job long for death in his suffering?
• Why do those who suffer need kindness rather than condemnation?
• Why is Eliphaz compared to a "deceptive stream"?
• How can we walk alongside those who are discouraged and weak?
• How do we keep looking to God in suffering, and use our words with care?

May we learn from Job's experience not to rub salt into another person's wounds, but to be people who bring comfort, support, and hope.

亲爱的弟兄姐妹，在这一讲，我们先回答一个基本的问题：为什么我们需要神学？接着，我们会看见神如何在历史中一步一步地启示祂自己，从影子走向实体，在基督里得着成全。最后，我们要把这些真理带进生活：做忠心的管家，盼望将来的新土地，并让生命的一切荣耀上帝。

欢迎一起来听，一起思想，一起祷告。

Dear brothers and sisters, in this session, we begin with a basic question: why do we need theology at all? Then we'll see how God has patiently unfolded His plan through history, from shadow to reality, fulfilled in Christ. Finally, we'll bring these truths into everyday life: how to live as faithful stewards, how to look ahead to the coming kingdom, and how to let everything we do bring glory to God.

Come listen, think, and pray with us.

教会和以色列，到底是两群人，还是一群人？

弟兄姐妹，这个问题近年越来越敏感，也越来越多人带着情绪去谈。这堂课，我们回到圣经本身：时代论与圣约神学各怎么看？为什么我们要小心取代论？神对以色列的应许，又怎样与我们息息相关？

欢迎一起来听，一起思想，一起祷告。

Are the church and Israel one people, or two?

Brothers and sisters, it's a question that stirs strong feelings these days. In this class, we go back to Scripture itself: how do dispensationalism and covenant theology see it? Why should we be wary of replacement theology? And what do God's promises to Israel mean for us today?

Come listen, think, and pray with us.

本课继续研读《约伯记》第5章，并进入第6—7章，思想苦难、管教、赐福与信仰的真正意义。

以利法强调神的公义、管教和赐福，却错误地把约伯的苦难归因于犯罪。

课程也分析了以利法“刺猬神学”的特点：观点中包含真理，却缺乏同理心，最终不能安慰受苦的约伯。

本课进一步探讨《约伯记》的重要神学信息：

• 神是神，人不是神。
• 人敬拜神，不应只因为神赐福。
• 信徒要学习完全信靠与顺服神。
• 人是为神而活，不是神为人而活。
• 面对受苦的人，应先体会他的痛苦，再给予劝勉。

约伯在第6章开始回应以利法，说明自己的言语急躁，是因为承受了极深的痛苦。本课提醒我们，在安慰和劝勉别人时，需要真理，也需要爱与怜悯。

This session continues our study of Job 5 and moves into chapters 6–7, reflecting on suffering, discipline, blessing, and what faith really means. Eliphaz stresses God's justice, discipline, and blessing, but wrongly blames Job's suffering on sin. The session also examines the marks of Eliphaz's "hedgehog theology": his views contain truth, but they lack empathy and in the end cannot comfort Job in his pain.

We then draw out some key theological lessons from the Book of Job:

• God is God, and we are not.
• We worship God because He is worthy, not only because He blesses us.
• Believers must learn to trust and obey Him fully.
• We live for God; God does not live for us.
• When someone is suffering, we should first feel their pain before offering counsel.

In chapter 6, Job begins to answer Eliphaz, explaining that his words were rash because his pain was so deep. This session reminds us that when we comfort and counsel others, we need truth, but we also need love and compassion.

在《约伯记》第四至第五章中，以利法试图解释约伯受苦的原因，并以自己的经验和梦境作为权威。

本课将探讨：我们该如何分辨个人经历与圣经启示？苦难是否必然源于个人犯罪？面对受苦的人，怎样避免错误的指责，真正活出怜悯与安慰？同时，我们也将思想神的伟大，以及祂借着降雨彰显的普遍恩典。

In Job chapters 4 and 5, Eliphaz tries to explain why Job is suffering, appealing to his own experience and a dream as his authority.

This lesson explores: how do we distinguish personal experience from true biblical revelation? Does suffering always come from personal sin? When facing someone in pain, how do we avoid wrongful accusation and instead live out real compassion and comfort? We'll also reflect on God's greatness, and the common grace He shows to all through the rain He sends.

亲爱的弟兄姐妹，我们的圣经解读，用的是什么框架？为什么选择这个框架？欢迎收看/收听全新神学系列的第一讲——《认识时代论》。从"什么是时代论"讲起,一路谈到它的历史发展、六个关键概念,以及"圣经应该按照字面来解释吗"这个核心问题。无论你是第一次听见这个词,还是对以色列与教会的关系一直感到困惑,这一讲都会给你清楚的框架。欢迎观看、收听,并订阅追踪后续内容,一起更扎实地认识神的话语！

What framework do we use to read the Bible — and why does it matter? We're kicking off a new theology series with "Understanding Dispensationalism": what it is, how it developed, its six key marks, and the question at its heart — should Scripture be interpreted literally? Whether this is your first time hearing the term or you've long wondered how Israel and the church relate, this session lays out a clear framework. Watch, listen, and follow along as we dig deeper into God's word together!

本期《约伯记》课程聚焦约伯受苦的原因，以及苦难与信仰之间的关系。课程解释了神的主权、人的敬拜是否建立在神的赐福之上， 也分析了约伯与三位朋友之间的对话。

本课还特别介绍以利法的观点： 他认为苦难是犯罪的结果，但这种看法虽然部分正确， 却不能解释所有苦难。 通过约伯的经历，我们学习如何在痛苦中信靠神， 并谨慎地安慰和帮助受苦的人。

This session focuses on why Job suffered and the relationship between suffering and faith. It explores God's sovereignty and asks whether our worship of God is truly rooted in His blessings or in who He is.

We also look closely at the dialogue between Job and his three friends, particularly Eliphaz's perspective — his view that suffering is always the result of sin. While partly true, this view falls short of explaining suffering in every case. Through Job's experience, we learn how to trust God in the midst of pain, and how to comfort and help those who are suffering with far greater care.

亲爱的弟兄姐妹，本期课程继续查考《约伯记》第二章至第三章，重点讨论苦难中的信靠、约伯三位朋友的陪伴，以及约伯在极度痛苦中的哀歌。

约伯虽然经历失去、疾病和极大的痛苦，却没有咒诅神。他的经历提醒我们：苦难可能成为信心的操练、生命的陶造，也可能帮助我们更深认识神。

课程也将分析约伯为何咒诅自己的生日、渴望死亡，以及基督徒应当如何在痛苦中持守信靠、拒绝放弃盼望。

让我们一起从《约伯记》中学习，在无法理解神的作为时，仍然依靠祂、顺服祂，并在苦难中仰望神的安慰与带领。

Dear brothers and sisters, this session continues our study through Job chapters two and three, focusing on trusting God in the midst of suffering, the companionship of Job's three friends, and Job's lament in his deepest anguish.

Though Job experienced loss, illness, and overwhelming pain, he never once cursed God. His experience reminds us that suffering can become a training ground for faith, a shaping force in our lives, and a means of drawing us into a deeper knowledge of God.

This session will also examine why Job cursed the day of his birth and longed for death, and how Christians should hold on to trust and refuse to abandon hope in the midst of pain.

Let us learn together from the book of Job — to continue depending on and submitting to God even when we cannot understand His ways, and to look to Him for comfort and guidance through suffering.

亲爱的弟兄姐妹，当苦难临到时，我们该如何理解神的主权、人的自由与神的许可？本课继续研读《约伯记》第一至二章，思想约伯在失去财富、儿女和健康之后，仍然俯伏敬拜神的信心。本课将探讨：

• 神是否掌管我们生命中的苦难
• 约伯为何能在灾难中不以口犯罪
• 撒但对约伯信仰的第二次挑战
• 约伯妻子的反应与属灵提醒
• 如何从永恒的角度面对人生苦难
• 在黑暗中继续信靠、顺服神

愿我们从约伯的经历中学习：即使暂时无法明白神的作为，仍然相信神是全能、全知且信实的主。

Dear brothers and sisters,

When Suffering Strikes, How Do We Understand God's Sovereignty, Human Freedom, and Divine Permission?

This session continues our study through Job chapters one and two, reflecting on how Job — after losing his wealth, his children, and his health — still fell down and worshipped God in faith. We'll explore:

• Whether God governs the suffering in our lives
• Why Job was able to endure disaster without sinning with his lips
• Satan's second challenge to Job's faith
• Job's wife's response, and the spiritual lesson it holds for us
• How to face life's suffering from an eternal perspective
• Continuing to trust and submit to God even in the darkness

May we learn from Job's experience: even when we cannot understand what God is doing in the moment, we can still trust that He is an all-powerful, all-knowing, and faithful God.

亲爱的弟兄姐妹，撒旦挑战约伯的敬畏是否出于纯粹，神却许可这场考验，为要显明人比撒旦更忠于神。约伯一天之内失去所有家产与十个儿女，却俯伏敬拜说："赏赐的是耶和华，收取的也是耶和华。"单单这个敬拜的动作，撒旦已经失败了。愿我们也在极大的失去中，仍然选择敬拜，而不是咒诅。

欢迎加入我们，一起在本系列继续对约伯记的探索之旅。

Dear brothers and sisters, Satan challenges whether Job's devotion is genuine — but God permits this test to prove that even a human being can remain more faithful than Satan himself. In a single day, Job loses everything — his wealth and all ten of his children — yet he falls down and worships, saying, "The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away." In that one act of worship, Satan has already lost. May we, too, choose worship over cursing, even in our greatest losses.

Join us as we continue discovering the Book of Job in this series.
