课程学习
背景:第3章取自于《創世記》(Genesis)這個書名來自希臘文的舊約聖經(七十士譯本),意思是「起源」、「源頭」、「創造」等,而希伯來文聖經的書名(根據這卷書起首的字)則是《起初》。這兩個書名都恰當地表達了本書的內容,因為本書是描述一切事物的來源,例如宇宙、世界、人類、人類的制度(如婚姻)、國家和至為重要的以色列人。《創世記》集中記載神如何借著創造,使這一切都出現。
另外一個比較少用的書名是《摩西的第一卷書》。這書名強調《創世記》是摩西五經的第一卷。傳統認為摩西是這些書卷的作者,所以它們又稱為「律法書」。《創世記》為西乃山的頒佈律法(《出埃及記》至《申命記》的內容)提供了一個歷史背景,又為解釋這些書卷的律法和故事提供了神學上的鑰匙。
基本英语语法回顾English basics

用来表示能力、允许、许诺、可能、必须、劝告、意愿等概念和态度。
主要的情态动词有can (could), may (might), shall (should), will (would), must, ought to, need, dare等。
情态动词没有人称和数的变化,其后常跟不带to的不定式。
e.g. You must not eat from any tree in the garden. 你们不许吃园中所有树上的果子么?
We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden. 园中树上的果子我们可以吃。
‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’” 你们不可吃,也不可摸,免得你们死。
He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” 现在恐怕他伸手又摘生命树的果子吃,就永远活着。

关于换位思考
预习时也提到的“换位思考”题,在从圣经中选素材时,我一般会选取带场景和对话的,我们可以想象自己是当中的任何一个角色去跟读,如第三章,自己可以是作者,可能是蛇、女人、男人和上帝。有人说圣经是一面镜子,不是手电筒(只照别人不照自己),换位思考就是在照镜子,可以仔细地审视自己,照出自己的内心。创世记1-11章作为人类通史的角度,内容丰富,语言文字表面上平淡无奇,实际寓意深刻。每次反复读都会不同的发现,我自己最深刻地是自己以前那份骄傲:自以为合情合理时候不需要和丈夫商量;自以为掌握游戏规则知道如何去利用规则的灰色地带...换位思考将会在日后继续应用的个人思考问题。

We face temptations in the world from time to time. Temptations are difficult to resist, but not impossible. The verses below tell us how to react in the face of temptations.
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. (1 John 2:15-17) 不要爱世界,和世界上的事。人若爱世界,爱父的心就不在他里面了。因为凡世界上的事,就像肉体的情欲,眼目的情欲,并今生的骄傲,都不是从父来的,乃是从世界来的。这世界,和其上的情欲,都要过去。唯独遵行神旨意的,是永远常存。
馬丁路德說:【信徒在世上,就如同船在海上,當船在海上時是安全的,只要海不在船上;信徒在世上是安全的,只要世界不在信徒心裏。】你想改变这个世代,除非你不被这个世代改变,才能改变它
