[Reprinted] Response: Hu "How can a person who was dragged away by God still be alive?"

There is no rigid application of the inherent theological framework to explain all religious problems, but we are very careful to deal with the negative effects brought by some customary theological views and the practical confusion encountered in discussing religious life. It is expected that such a question will be raised in the traditional church, but for a second-generation reformed believer in China who experienced the "SARS incident" and theological changes, it is indeed courageous to raise such a "non-mainstream" topic in the reformed church, which may also show his good intentions. (2) Indeed, as reformed theology emphasized, we all need to be constantly reformed, but only if we are open to the outside world. This sentence is easy to say, but it is very difficult to put it into practice. Reformed Sect has an unparalleled theological system, which we are proud of. But it is precisely because the system is too perfect that it is easy to be closed, which is what we need to guard against. Reformed Sect always gives people the impression that they are uneducated, difficult to communicate and heartless. Therefore, the author recently sympathized with Hu's style-the myth of reform. (3) Hu's lecture mainly revolves around the tragic ending of Lot's wife and the question "How can a man who was dragged away by God die?" Reformists usually think that the fundamental reason is that Lot's wife was "not reborn and saved", while traditional churches often emphasize human factors as a warning and encouragement. Obviously, Hu is biased towards the application of the latter. However, the author still thinks that this lecture is different from the analysis of Lot's Wife written by the runner-up brother in his response. Hu at least realized the danger of his handling angle, but the runner-up brothers did not show such tension. Hu is rambling in the article, while the runner-up brother is conclusive in the article. Hu is standing in the reformed circle, pointing the finger at his own group (we reformed people ...), while the runner-up brother is standing outside reformed theology, and his question must be directed at others. Hu affectionately urged his brothers and sisters to be alert to the spiritual blind spots that are easy to appear in the Reformed faith, while the runner-up brothers' conclusions were completely contrary to the Reformed faith. Teacher Hu went to Grace Hall to preach that the runner-up brothers had no specific target. Hu is an idyllic, while the runner-up brother is a dogmatic. Finally, I have to admire the good writing of the runner-up brothers. I hope you will continue to contribute and learn from each other in the future. I also hope that the brothers and sisters who believe in Reformed Christianity can open themselves up, listen to different voices and be ready to be adjusted by the whole Bible teaching at any time. Let's walk on the right path together. We all heard the Lord say, "This is the right path, and we are walking on this path together. Hu/Wen 20 12.05.30[ 1] In fact, in his article, Hu aimed at the problem of "once saved, forever saved", not the reformed belief system itself. " "Once saved, always saved" is one of the most controversial themes in reformed theology. Because of the controversy, the impression of "outsiders" on Reformed Sect often focuses on this point. Reformed theology is actually a face and a system. "Once saved, always saved" is just one of Calvin's five main points, and it is also an inevitable link in the development of reformed theology's thought. It is inaccurate to represent reformed theology with this point, and any one-sided approach is not desirable. However, since this theological view is very representative, please allow me to continue to use the term "outsider" here.
