王祖藍感人見證

 

//祖藍自謙自己只是一個「蒙恩的罪人」，他認為有時並不需要逢人就講耶穌、傳福音，反而希望通過自己在工作崗位、家庭上的行事為人去為主作見證。因此祖藍非常重視自己與家人、合作伙伴，甚至是素未謀面的陌生人的關係，在交往過程中自己有沒有秉行公義、公平、公正和仁愛。他確信用自己的生命去作見證，比只用舌頭去傳福音更具感染力！//

三一臨在浸信會聽眾

早排有個好好笑的發現, 原來我聽眾之一有其中一個係返黃衛雄嗰間三一臨在浸信會的, 而佢當然係好清楚我對呢個人同呢間教會的睇法. 我知道係因為某一日突然有位聽眾聯絡我, 同我講佢同屋企人返呢間教會, 而佢家人仲要係教會當時的核心成員之一, 跟住就同我講好多黃衛雄同呢間教會的一些衰嘢, 結論就係事情升溫到會友同黃衛雄之間, 由於教會管理、錢銀之類的問題, 而搞到要上法庭的地步.

呢位聽眾都講得相當詳細, 又有cap圖, 又有法律文件, 我諗佢係想我喺節目度講晒呢D資料出來. 不過, 我又唔係嗰D需要炒新聞的門徒霉體, 呢D愛國人士之間彼此傷害的事我就冇乜興趣講. 加上我之前已經盡了責任, 將黃衛雄此人同佢間教會的荒謬言行清楚講出並加以理性解釋; 從我的角度, 我已經完全暴露出牠的問題, 不必再加添D八卦去再講一些我已經證實咗o既判斷. 

當然, 我亦唔介意佢自己call in上來講, 所以我都咁樣回覆佢, 鼓勵佢自己講返, 因為佢都實在send太多嘢俾我睇, 都唔講得晒咁多. 後來佢拖下拖下, 最終話怕被黃衛雄認到佢把聲會針對佢, 所以都係唔自己講了, 咁我就幫佢唔到喇, 呢D事邊有得假手於人, 而自己就處身事外? 

後來呢位聽眾亦有問我一些信仰同聖經問題, 因為佢需要有D talking point喺庭上同人對質, 亦想踢爆呢個佢相當唔鍾意的牧者. 我都按住佢的問題如實回答, 不過我冇表現雀躍去特別鼓勵佢. 對於呢間教會同佢牧者的言行, 我都已經講過晒, 咁而家有班人唔聽勸阻, 一頭中埋去, 而家搞到不歡而散, 我真係唔會咁有愛心去同情佢地 sosad 

至於呢間教會, 而家事實證明, 只要佢係由咁樣質素o既人領導, 唔需要去理佢, 佢都會自毀. 

Yahoo mail

我其實開咗好多唔同的email戶口, 又hotmail, 又google, 又doramail之類, 不過我一直主要都係用yahoo. Yahoo當然係廢, 又多spam, 幾年前仲有security breach, 不過好多嘢係register咗跟email, 基於懶惰的原因, 就求求其其一直到現在都仲用緊. 

不過, 自從幾年前, 我開始覺得用Yahoo真係好唔安全, 所以開始轉用Protonmail, 不過都只係開始轉換, 好多重要的email依然係會自動去咗Yahoo嗰邊. 我真係要的起心肝, 將D戶口轉晒新email佢, 不過真係會好大工程, 同埋好易會漏 sosad

死海古卷新發現

Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) 公佈, 喺Cave of Horror搵到一些之前未被發現的死海古卷, 同埋另外一些古物. 呢單嘢同其他成日傳出話發現了新的死海古卷唔同, 今次是堅料, 由真正的考古學家帶領的團隊發現, 係六十年以來第一次有新的死海古卷出土. 

學者早在五十年代就已經相當熟悉 Cave of Horror, 當年有幾廿個抵擋或逃避羅馬的猶太人死喺呢個洞穴, 所以個改咗個咁o既名. 當年希臘文小先知書古卷 (8HevXII gr) 就係喺呢度被發現. 我睇D新聞, 似乎今次新發現到廿幾份古卷碎片, 目前D學者睇到的碎片內容, 都係希臘文的小先知書抄本, 合乎預期之內. 

一般人講死海古卷, 好多都係講喺昆蘭周遭洞穴出土的古卷, Cave of Horror係喺Nahal Hever, 不過其中發現的文獻都算係死海古卷.

其實梁燕城知唔知種族清洗的定義?

梁燕城喺佢題為《中國新疆在壓迫和清洗維族人？》嗰集節目的末段話: 

「如果新疆人, 自從1953年四百幾萬人, 如果被種族清洗, 到而家應該剩下幾多人呢? 咁而家竟然變咗二千幾萬人, 咁係唔係種族清洗呀? 真係講大話都要有數據先得o架.」 

基於呢段說話, 令我十分懷疑, 梁燕城是咪其實唔知種族清洗的定義, 就開集節目講種族清洗. 根據聯合國接納的定義: 

//In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

- Killing members of the group;

- Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

- Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

- Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

- Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.//

除咗"killing members of the group"之外, 其他四種行為都係唔會立即令人口大副下降的, 所以梁燕城呢個自以為十分勁抽有力的反證, 根本都唔係point嚟, 只曝露出佢連少少功課都唔做就喺節目亂up. 

梁燕城: 中國新疆冇壓迫和清洗維族人

梁燕城話喎, 中共冇清洗維吾爾族人, 因為中共冇必要咁做. 又話記者Maxime Vivas都出咗本書, 同佢的觀點一致, 就好似當年佢引用發現到巴別塔、約櫃、耶穌一滴血的考古學家Ron Wyatt嚟作為佢搵到挪亞方舟的佐證一樣. 

最搞笑係佢自詡對新疆有深入研究, 同時取笑一個同佢持相反意見的人唔係知名大學的學者, 只係獨立研究員. 咁你自己都係獨立研究員啦, 唔通你係新疆研究的學者咩. 

結尾仲話, 佢去check過, 而家新疆人口仲有多人, 好明顯冇種族清洗發生過. 梁燕城唔知是咪已進化到連報紙都唔睇了, 因為而家冇人話中共喺新疆開槍大屠殺, 而係基於雲彩一般的見證去指責中共監禁、虐待、強制絕育維吾爾族人, 呢D唔係會令人口即時下降的. 

CBGM 應該都好難睇得明...

之前提過, 我都好有興趣想學多 D 關於 Coherence-Based Genealogical Method (CBGM) 的知識. 我都真係有去搵D書同文章嚟睇o架, 不過真係睇到一舊雲, 直至我睇到呢篇文章: 

Stephen C. Carlson, "A Bias at the Heart of the Coherence-Based Genealogical Method (CBGM)," JBL 139 (2020) 319-340.

呢篇文算係寫得比較易明, 起碼我明的部份算係多少少. 但係令我感到絕望的, 係跟住我喺網上見到一篇由Gerd Mink寫的回應文章, 直指Stephen Carlson誤解咗CBGM, 而Gerd Mink就係CBGM的原創人: 

//Criticisms of the CBGM are always welcomed, and we are eager to incorporate suggestions for improving it. Unfortunately we were not able to use Carlson’s publication as fodder for making improvements because his article evinces a general lack of understanding of the method.

...

The core problem of Carlson’s article is that he does not seem to understand the overall concept of the CBGM.

...

Carlson's assumption that there is bias in the CBGM is the result of misunderstandings and wrong application.

...

In only selectively and superficially engaging with the relevant literature, Carlson’s article has unfortunately cultivated a new series of misunderstandings about the CBGM and its functionalities, most of which could have been avoided had he just made use of my entry level “Introductory Presentation.”//

如果連Stephen Carlson一篇登喺JBL的學術文章都睇唔明CBGM, 咁我何德何能, 點會搞得明? sosad
