回答: 我为什么不愿成为基督徒? 27 (基督信仰与中华文化) 由 一了 于 July 08, 2002 22:49:10:
Hello, first of all, let me apologize how useless I am: I do not know how to write Chinese using computer. Never had the drive to learn it. Write my thoughts in English is what I can do right now. There may be difficulties, for example, how to spell out the Chinese name, etc.
I have read some of your essays on your thoughts on Christian believe. Certainly it is an interesting topic: more and more Chinese are interested in this religion. Here are my thoughts:
1. On the communication between man and God.
No matter one believes there is a God or not, they usually agree upon some attributes of God.
Among these attributes, God is kind of “perfect being”
In my opinion, this “perfect being” of God in a way determined the communication between Human being and this God can only be one-way street.
Human Being cannot reach God.
In the sense that God will not and should not give favor to anybody that worship him. Image the contrary: If A is blessed by God due to he worships God and B is punished by God due to he does not worship God.
Then the God is not “perfect” any more, because this God can be influenced by low beings like human. This God then is no difference from us: we treat people nice if they treat us nice. We treat people not so nice, if they treat us not so nice.
The above image is not good to God, therefore:
God should treat all people equally no matter what attitude they have toward God.
Therefore, all human channels to God should not have any influence on God.
Therefore, human being cannot reach God.
(If you think this is good for your thoughts, I will write more.)
