什麽是至於死的罪和不至於死的罪

約翰一書裏提到了不至於死的罪和至於死的罪。那什麽是不至於死的罪，什麽又是至於死的罪呢？

 

不至於死的罪是說一個人相信耶穌的死與複活，相信耶穌擔當了他的罪，但正如哥林多前書所言還是嬰孩階段的基督徒，時不時跟隨情欲走，諸如嫉妒，爭競，憤怒，抱怨，犯罪等等，看起來與非基督徒可能區別不大。但是因為他始終相信耶穌在十字架上擔當了他的罪，相信耶穌的複活，所以他是得救的，隻是他的基督的生命還處於開始成長的階段，還沒有接果子而已。這樣的基督徒待在耶穌這棵葡萄樹上，遲早會接果子的。

 

至於死的罪，就是說一個人一開始貌似相信了耶穌的死與複活，貌似相信了耶穌，但是不久或後來耳朵發癢，順從情欲，不再相信耶穌的死與複活了，不再相信耶穌擔當他的罪了，而是回到世界靠行摩西律法和/或積德行善去得救。希伯來書說，這等人得知真道後故意犯罪，贖罪的祭就再也沒有了，這等人就是退後入沉淪的那等人。

 

約一5:16 人若看見弟兄犯了不至於死的罪、就當為他祈求、神必將生命賜給他．有至於死的罪、我不說當為這罪祈求。

If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death. I don't say that he should make a request concerning this.

林前3:2 我是用奶喂你們、沒有用飯喂你們．那時你們不能吃、就是如今還是不能。
I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren't yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready,
林前3:3 你們仍是屬肉體的．因為在你們中間有嫉妒分爭、這豈不是屬乎肉體、照著世人的樣子行麽。
for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren't you fleshly, and don't you walk in the ways of men?
 

來5:13 凡隻能吃奶的、都不熟練仁義的道理．因為他是嬰孩。
For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby.

來10:26 因為我們得知真道以後、若故意犯罪、贖罪的祭就再沒有了．

For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,

來10:36 你們必須忍耐、使你們行完了神的旨意、就可以得著所應許的。

For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

來10:37 『因為還有一點點時候、那要來的就來、並不遲延。

"In a very little while, he who comes will come, and will not wait.

來10:38 隻是義人必因信得生、〔義人有古卷作我的義人〕他若退後、我心裏就不喜歡他。』

But the righteous will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him."

來10:39 我們卻不是退後入沉淪的那等人、乃是有信心以致靈魂得救的人。

But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.
