偉大的三一真神
By Tin-chee Lo (盧天賜) 如果我說,「凡能夠 ”想像” 出來的東西,它必定存在。」這說法顯然是荒謬的。我可以想像出一條美人魚,美人魚真的存在嗎?我也可以想像出一隻巨大的飛龍,飛龍真的存在嗎?但如果我把 “想像” 改變為 “無法想像” ,這就是安瑟倫 (Anselm; 1033-1109) 的本體論 (ontology) 了。論到上帝的存在,安瑟倫的說法是:「上帝是 “無法想像” 的存在,并且这样的存在必須 存在於現實和思想中。」我們如何理解這說法呢? 如果它有真理的成份, 我們必定可以訴諸於聖經。論到天堂, 如經上所記、「上帝為愛他的人所預備的、是眼睛未曾看見、耳朵未曾聽見、人心也未曾想到的。(林前2:9)」所以,只要眼睛可以看到,耳朵可以聴到,頭腦可以想到的,無論多美多好,都不是天堂。既然天堂是超越我們那 “無法想像” 的境界,據安瑟倫的說法,它必定存在。而聖經斷言天堂的確存在,所以安瑟倫的本體論並非沒有道理。簡言之,本體論就是指向 “無法想像” 的现实的本體 (being)。 我們是住在一個三維度 (3-dimensional) 的世界,有: 上下,左右,前後。但是如果我們只用一個維度,那麼我們就只有 “線” 和 “點”」。但當我們提升到二維度的世界,我們就有 “面” 了;我們雖多了一些東西,但一維度世界中的 “線” 和 “點” 仍然完全被保存。如果我們再提升到三維度世界,我們就有了 “體”,我們又多了一些東西,但一維度世界中的 “線” 和 “點”,以及二維度世界的 “面” 也完全被保存,只是多了一些一維度和二維度沒有的東西。 住在二維度世界的人,他們對 “體” 一無所知。但 “體” 是由 “面” 組成的,二維度世界的人雖不知道 “體” 是如何組成,但他們可以基于他們所知道的,作出一些 … Continue reading
