Men have different ideas about the existence of God.  In this lesson we will see some wrong ideas about God, then give reasons why we believe in the one true God.

            关于神的存在、人有很多不同的观念. 在这个课程中、我们要提到关于神存在的一些错误的观念、然后说出为什么我们相信只有一位真神的原因.

            The Atheist says, "I know God does not exist.  I have proof."  This is a statement the atheist cannot prove.  An atheist would have to be everywhere at the same time to prove God does not exist.  However, "being everywhere at the same time" is called "omnipresence."  "Being everywhere at the same time" is one of the characteristics of God.  

            无神论者说、『神不存在、并持有证据以资证明』. 但是、无神论者没有办法证明这话. 无神论者必须是神通广大以至于无所不在才能证明神的不存在. 然而, 神的特性之一正是无所不在.

            A person must be able to be everywhere at the same time to prove God does not exist.  For example:  If you were looking for your friend and heard that he was in America , you could come to America and visit some of the major cities looking him.  While you are in New York City , your friend could be in Chicago .  If you then go to Chicago , you friend could have moved on to Dallas .  By the time you made it to Dallas , your friend could have gone on to Los Angeles .  You might travel around the whole country and never find your friend.  But you would not be able to make the statement, "I know my friend is not in America ."  To make that statement, you would have to be everywhere at the same time.

            人必须无所不在来证明神不存在、比方说: 假如你在寻找你的朋友也听说他在美国、你便会到美国去一些大城市找他. 你在纽约市的时候、可能你的朋友在芝加哥. 于是你就去芝加哥、但是这时你的朋友却已经去德州的达拉斯. 当你一到达拉斯时、可能你的朋友又已经去洛杉矶了. 可能你围绕全国也找不到你的朋友. 但是、你不能说、『我确实的知道我的朋友不在美国』. 因为你必须是无所不在的才可以这么说.

            So, a person would have to become God to prove God does not exist!  But if a person was God, then God would exist!  Atheists cannot prove their claims!

            所以、为了证明神不存在、一个人必须变成神. 但是、如果一个人能成为神、神就存在! 无神论者没有办法证明他们所宣称的话!

            The Agnostic says, "There is not enough evidence to prove there is or is not a God."  This is really what the atheist believes.  There is much evidence to prove the existence of God.  We will discuss this evidence later in this lesson.

            不可知论者说、『缺乏足够的证据、以证明神的存在』. 这就是无神论者所相信的.  有很多证据能够证明神的存在. 等一下就会谈论这证据.

            The Deist says, "A Supreme Being created the universe, gave laws, then had no dealings with his creation."  He will admit the universe did not just happen.  But, he claims that the God who created the universe does not care for his creation, and does not provide for the needs of man.

自然神论者认为宇宙是由一位高高在上的神所创造, 万物法则亦由祂订立. 但却在其创造之物自生自灭. 他会承认宇宙不是偶然产生的. 但是、他却宣称神然后弃祂所造的万物于不顾、对于人类的需求漠不关心.

            The theist believes that God created the universe, but does not believe that He is the God of the Old and New Testament, does not believe in Christ, the church, or the plan of salvation.  This would include Jews and Moslems.  It would also include the polytheist.  The polytheist believes there is more than one God.  Buddhists, Hindus, and other eastern religions fit into this category.

有神论者相信神创造宇宙、但是不相信这位神是旧约和新约的神、不信基督、教会、或神拯救人的计划. 这包括犹太人跟回教徒. 这也包括多神论者. 多神论者相信有好几个神. 这包括佛教、印度教、还有其它东方的宗教是属于这一类.

            The Christian theist believes in the one God of the universe, the God of the Old and New Testament who created the universe.  This would include belief in Christ as the Son of God, the one church that was planned by God and established in the first century, as well as God's plan for saving man.

  基督徒有神论

            基督徒有神论相信宇宙有一位真 神、是创造宇宙、旧约和新约的 神. 这包括相信基督是神的儿子、被 神有计划在第一世纪建立唯一的教会、还有神拯救人的计划.
